The 1,399th Chapter: The Second Dragon Emperor Sarira
"Originally, we would have needed to collect several medicinal herbs to refine the Dragon Emperor Sarira, but with the fruit of this mysterious herb, we don't need to anymore." Yi Yun's eyes flashed, revealing an extremely satisfied expression.
There is no fixed formula for refining the Dragon Emperor Sarira; it can be made as long as there are enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Yi Yun's primary ingredient was the Abyssal Red Lotus, while the other medicinal herbs he searched for were secondary ingredients. However, with the fruit of this mysterious herb, the efficacy of the Dragon Emperor Sarira that Yi Yun refined would inevitably be quite different from what he had previously anticipated.
He will use the fruit of this mysterious herb as the main ingredient and the Abyssal Red Lotus as the auxiliary ingredient to refine a top-grade Dragon Emperor Sarira.
Yi Yun already had experience refining the Dragon Emperor Sarira once, and he himself had even been used as a medicinal ingredient before, so it was a very familiar task for Yi Yun.
The place was extremely quiet, so Yi Yun didn't have to worry about any external interference. He calmed down by the waterfall and began to prepare to refine the second Dragon Emperor Sarira.
Yi Yun first took out medicinal herbs such as the Abyssal Red Lotus.
After being treated with Method of Nourishing Medicine, the Abyssal Red Lotus has grown from a lotus seed into a lotus flower as fiery as flames, with each petal composed of leaping flames of abyssal fire.
The seemingly beautiful flowers, if approached without precautions, would have their flesh burned by the abyssal fire, or even reduced to ashes.
Yi Yun gestured, and the Abyssal Red Lotus instantly appeared before him. He quickly cast hand seals, and golden threads appeared around the Abyssal Red Lotus, completely locking its Medicinal Power within these threads.
Then, Yi Yun continued to toss other medicinal herbs, either extracting juice, removing roots and stems, or extracting essence.
Finally, Yi Yun took out the fruit of the mysterious herb.
The fruit of this mysterious herb is covered with dark golden patterns on its surface. Upon closer inspection, these patterns resemble countless Dao patterns etched by nature itself.
Yi Yun held the fruit, sensing its Medicinal Power.
Then, Yi Yun carefully began forming hand seals.
As strands of primordial energy appeared from Yi Yun's hand like threads, enveloping the fruit, the dark golden Dao patterns on the fruit lit up, and drops of golden liquid oozed from the fruit.
Each of these golden droplets contains immense vital energy, making them far more precious than the leaves in terms of Medicinal Power.
Finally, the fruit secreted dozens of drops of golden liquid, which floated in the air and then spontaneously merged together to form a sphere the size of a pigeon egg, shimmering with golden iridescence, dazzling and mesmerizing.
This sphere is the essence of this mysterious herb.
Looking at the golden sphere, Yi Yun even had the urge to swallow it immediately.
However, Yi Yun suppressed this idea, believing that refining it into Dragon Emperor Sarira would better enhance its medicinal effects.
"Kanglong Ding, rise!"
Yi Yun gave a low shout, Kanglong Ding flew out, spinning once in mid-air before its lid opened automatically.
Guided by Yi Yun's fingers, the processed medicinal herbs flew into the Kanglong Ding one by one, including the golden sphere.
Then, a flame suddenly shot out from Yi Yun's palm.
Evil God's Fire Seed!
This Evil God's Fire seemed to possess a spirit; it flew directly to the bottom of the Kanglong Ding and then burst into flames.
The lid of the cauldron closed, sealing all the medicinal herbs inside. Enveloped and burned by the Kanglong Ding Evil God's Fire, the Medicinal Power within these herbs began to be extracted little by little, then they impacted and fused together.
Yi Yun, on the other hand, was completely focused. His divine sense was focused on the situation inside the Kanglong Ding, while his hands were controlling the firepower of the Evil God's Fire.
Gradually, a sound like bellows filled the silent valley, as if the entire valley had turned into a furnace, burning fiercely.
The burning lasted for a whole month.
With a clear chime, the lid of the Kanglong Ding, and an indescribable medicinal fragrance wafted out from it.
Suddenly, hundreds of flowers bloomed beside the small waterfall, and even the air seemed to echo with melodious sounds.
Yi Yun's eyes gleamed, and his tired face couldn't hide his excitement.
After a month of continuous and meticulous refining, the second Dragon Emperor Sarira has finally been completed!
Yi Yun opened the lid of the cauldron, a ray of light swept out from within.
Yi Yun reached out and grabbed it, instantly locking the space around the radiant light.
Within the rosy glow, a faint dragon shadow struggled. Then, the glow revealed its true form: a crystal-clear pill, as clear as jade. Surprisingly, this pill was trembling continuously, like a tiny heart, seemingly possessing a real life.
When elixirs are refined to the highest grade, they develop sentience. If such elixirs escape, they may even cultivate themselves into spiritual beings, becoming no different from those rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have become sentient.
In reality, elixirs are a fusion of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the true essence of heaven and earth.
This Dragon Emperor Sarira has been refined to possess spirituality; it is a truly top-grade divine medicine.
"I just finished refining the pills, and my current state is not suitable for consuming the Dragon Emperor Sarira," Yi Yun thought to himself.
Some martial artists even burn incense and bathe before consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only starting to consume them when they are completely calm.
Although Yi Yun doesn't need to go through such trouble, he still needs to adjust his breathing for a while.
The elixir had been successfully refined, and Yi Yun's tense mind relaxed. He slowly meditated, spending several rare days in peace.
Yi Yun only slowly opened his eyes when he felt he was ready.
Cultivating the Dragon Emperor Art means that Yi Yun will consume a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and this second Dragon Emperor Sarira is only for Yi Yun to cultivate the second level of the Dragon Emperor Art.
But in Yi Yun's eyes, there was only determination. No matter how many difficulties lay ahead, just as he had refined the second Dragon Emperor Sarira, he could refine the third, the fourth, and even more.
Without hesitation, Yi Yun took out the second Dragon Emperor Sarira and swallowed it in one gulp.
As soon as he swallowed it, Yi Yun felt as if he had swallowed a Thunder Prison.
The violent and raging power rolled down Yi Yun's throat into his abdomen, and then exploded in his dantian. Instantly, streams of energy rushed into every meridian, bone, and flesh of Yi Yun's body, as if to completely shatter his physical body.
Yi Yun's skin suddenly turned blood red, and beneath the almost transparent skin, one could see that the blood in his veins was surging and flowing like molten lava.
At the same time, a massive amount of Medicinal Power essence surged into Yi Yun's entire body's meridians amidst this torrent.
This feeling made Yi Yun feel incredibly refreshed, even as he was drenched in sweat.
He felt that his strength, physical body, meridians, and dantian were all undergoing rapid transformation under the impact of the Medicinal Power.
