Senior Brother, You Smell So Good

Li Yang didn't understand, but having two more months made him quite happy.

'Two more months means I have six more days of cultivation enlightenment time—I need to plan this carefully.

Refining the Three-Revolutions Golden Core requires forty-nine days, but accounting for failure, I need to set aside a hundred days, so these eleven months lose over three of them.

Subtracting my cultivation enlightenment time, I can accumulate seven months.

Seven months, over twenty days of training, plus the time needed for alchemy—it all adds up.'

If over a hundred days he could deduce this far, then accumulating over seven months of experience and using over twenty days might truly allow him to refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Core further.

If luck was good enough and his accumulation sufficient, completely deducing this pill formula wasn't impossible either.

Just as Li Yang was calculating, a figure slowly approached him, then opened a gaping maw.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Lan Ling'e covered her mouth and whimpered.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

Li Yang looked at the teeth marks on his arm, at the fallen teeth and blood on the ground, at Lan Ling'e hopping in pain, covering her mouth and bleeding, and a big question mark rose above his head.

Just now, he'd let Lan Ling'e bite him without meaning to.

This damn girl had quite the strength—she'd even knocked out several of her own teeth.

Seeing that Lan Ling'e was still in her True Body, Li Yang scratched his head even more.

This girl using her True Body—rare!!

"Open your mouth!"

Seeing Lan Ling'e wouldn't speak, only covering her mouth as teardrops the size of beans fell, Li Yang helplessly took out an Immortal Pill and tossed it into her mouth.

The Immortal Pill dissolved on contact, and then Lan Ling'e's mouth stopped bleeding, even the knocked-out teeth growing back.

"Senior Brother, your body is way too hard, isn't it?"

Perhaps because Li Yang had restored her health, Lan Ling'e turned the blame around.

"What do you mean my body is too hard? You still haven't answered me—why did you bite me?

Do you know that if I hadn't held back, your head would have shattered?"

Lan Ling'e actually didn't know what was going on either, scratching the spot near her temple with a finger.

"I don't know what happened either—I was dazed and smelled a fragrance, and then it happened."

Fragrance?

Li Yang frowned, sniffing with his nose—there was no fragrance now.

At that moment, Lan Ling'e slowly drew closer, her eyes growing gradually dazed.

Gradually, she rested her head on Li Yang's shoulder, looking at his neck, unable to help swallowing.

"Senior Brother, you smell so good!"

Inside the alchemy room, Li Yang's face was dark.

He had just confirmed that the fragrance Lan Ling'e smelled was emanating from his own body.

According to Lan Ling'e: 'Senior Brother, I feel like eating a piece of your flesh would greatly benefit my cultivation.'

What did this mean?

It meant that the Nine Revolutions Immortal Physique Method he had subconsciously deduced had a major problem.

After all, what kind of broken cultivation method turns oneself into an Immortal Pill???

Li Yang was now completely shattered, utterly devastated.

He did a simple analysis of himself—he was almost identical in medicinal properties to the Three-Revolutions Golden Core.

What did this mean?

It meant he didn't need to refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Core for his Master to repair his Dao Foundation—he could just eat himself.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Yang burst out with profanity, cursing and grumbling.

He'd originally wanted to deduce the Three-Revolutions Golden Core, but now it seemed he needed to thoroughly deduce the cultivation method instead, eliminating this side effect as much as possible.

Until the side effect was eliminated, he couldn't go out in his True Body at all, and needed to hide as much as possible.

Although his Three-Revolutions Immortal Body could already beat his normal early-stage Celestial Immortal self, and even external Golden Immortals could exchange a few moves with him.

But this fine Immortal Pill walking around outside was far too conspicuous—some great power might capture him.

"Immortals are already no simple matter—body, mana, Primordial Spirit all have great fortune—but my situation is still too abnormal.

Still, this is good—the main ingredient for refining the Three-Revolutions Golden Core might be my Immortal Blood.

The Three-Revolutions Golden Core refined this way might have even better medicinal effects."

With this idea and line of thought, Li Yang had completely opened the door to a new world.

For the next seven months, he did only two things: alchemy and reading scriptures.

The seven months passed in a flash. Looking at the days of rest on his panel, Li Yang began his final use.

In an instant, countless Three-Revolutions Golden Core formulas and refining methods, all using his blood as the core material, rapidly deduced and transformed.

More than twenty days later, Li Yang finally exited the state.

"The formula is complete, and the refining method is complete. The days ahead will be about refining the Golden Core, but..."

Li Yang looked at the over eight thousand Three-Revolutions Golden Core formulas deduced before him, hesitating for a moment.

This would require him to release a great deal of his Immortal Blood, and with so many formulas, he didn't know which one was best or which one would succeed.

"Forget it, let's refine!"

These eight thousand-plus formulas definitely couldn't be refined in the alchemy chamber, but rather in the Shelter Grotto-Heaven.

Only here did he have the conditions for large-scale pill and artifact refinement.

"Hmph!"

With a muffled grunt, Li Yang's Immortal Blood flowed profusely, and his face quickly turned as pale as gold paper.

This wasn't because his immortal body was weak; in fact, it was precisely because his immortal body was too powerful that this happened.

This Immortal Blood was no ordinary blood. Though not comparable to his essence blood, it still gathered his mana and cultivation, making it a true heavenly treasure.

So much Immortal Blood, though it hadn't yet damaged his foundation, had still severely depleted Li Yang's vitality.

"Fire, rise!"

Li Yang paid it no mind. He formed a hand seal in reverse, dividing the Immortal Blood into over eight thousand portions, then drew vast amounts of Spiritual Medicine from the planet and the starry sky to begin refining.

"At the moment the Grand Formation of Celestial Stars transforms Chaos Qi into spiritual qi, a type of spiritual qi of exceptionally high quality is born, very similar to the legendary primordial qi. So, when refining this pill, incorporating this qi can increase the medicinal properties and enhance the success rate."

Li Yang carefully analyzed every aspect of the alchemy process, all of which he had obtained and perfected during his epiphany and deduction.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

In the void of the grotto-heaven, portions of pills exploded—this was alchemy failure.

It also proved that many formulas still had problems, and that Li Yang was not yet proficient in the refining methods.

"Pfft!"

Li Yang released Immortal Blood again, refining these pills over and over.

"Success!"

Before long, a Golden Core was refined.

"Next, the first revolution."

Facing these pills, Li Yang's expression was solemn, and his hand seals and imprints were extremely cautious.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

With a series of explosions, some Golden Cores failed their first revolution, but others succeeded.

"Second revolution, begin!"

Golden Core refining could not be stopped; once halted, it would end there, so the first-revolution Golden Cores had to undergo the second revolution.

With a chain of explosions, this batch of first-revolution Golden Cores all failed.

"Continue!"

Li Yang released Immortal Blood again, refining, refining, refining over and over.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Inside the grotto-heaven.

With a flash of golden light shooting into the sky, stirring the Grand Formation of Celestial Stars, Li Yang's wild laughter followed.

"Hahahaha, success, success! The Three-Revolutions Golden Core is complete!!!"
