One-Click Learning

Library Pavilion.

Chen Xuan had already found the information he was looking for.

A total of one hundred and thirty-seven secret realms had been discovered within the Azure Cloud Realm.

The Azure Cloud Realm could be divided into two regions: the Nine Provinces Continent and the Endless Sea.

Among them, the Nine Provinces Continent could be considered the core region of the entire Azure Cloud Realm, possessing ninety-six secret realms.

This continent of the Nine Provinces was divided into nine provincial domains, hence it was called the Nine Provinces Continent.

The area of each province was extremely vast.

The Cloud Sea Sect was located in Jing Province, one of the Nine Provinces, and there were twelve secret realms within the borders of Jing Province.

Among them, three were Heavenly Dao Secret Realms.

Returning to the main topic, because the Nine Provinces were so vast and Chen Xuan was only a Spirit Sea cultivator, it was best not to travel too far if he truly wanted to search for Heavenly Dao Qi; he should first explore the three Heavenly Dao Secret Realms within Jing Province.

Chen Xuan memorized the locations and information of the secret realms, then left the Library Pavilion.

The target was set.

However, there was no rush to set off.

He would improve his strength first.

Sect Market.

Chen Xuan began purchasing materials for Spirit Sea Pills and second-tier Dragon Pattern Pills.

The materials for Spirit Sea Pills were much more expensive than those for Spirit Gathering Pills.

Moreover, the refining difficulty was significantly higher.

Most cultivators could only treat Spirit Gathering Pills as their regular cultivation pills, perhaps only using Spirit Sea Pills when breaking through minor realms.

But Chen Xuan's situation was different; with the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame, learning alchemy was simply too easy.

Refining Spirit Sea Pills might not be simple for other cultivators, but for him, it could not be simpler.

Therefore, he could fully utilize Spirit Sea Pills for his cultivation.

After buying the materials, Chen Xuan left the market.

Upon returning to Danxiao Peak, Chen Xuan did not rush back to his quarters, but instead went to the Library Pavilion to browse through books related to second-tier alchemy.

[Your Dao technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" is learning alchemy.]

[Your Dao technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" has successfully mastered second-tier alchemy.]

Chen Xuan intended to take it all the way in one go this time.

In the time that followed, Chen Xuan continued to browse other alchemy-related books in the Library Pavilion.

As time passed.

[Your Dao technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" has successfully mastered third-tier alchemy.]

[Your Dao technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" has successfully mastered fourth-tier alchemy.]

[Your Dao technique "Purple Imperial Dragon Flame" has successfully mastered fifth-tier alchemy.]

This was what it meant to be cheating.

Without spending much time, Chen Xuan had flipped through almost all the books in the Danxiao Peak Library Pavilion.

The Purple Imperial Dragon Flame had already mastered fifth-tier alchemy.

As the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame mastered these techniques, a wealth of alchemical knowledge surged into his mind.

Unfortunately, the alchemy techniques in the Library Pavilion only went up to the fifth tier.

However, this was enough for now.

For a very long time, he likely wouldn't need to further refine his alchemy skills.

Chen Xuan left the Library Pavilion.

On the way back, he suddenly thought of something.

"Brother Dragon, tell me, since you learn alchemy as if you've turned on a one-click learning cheat, would it work for artifact refining as well?"

Chen Xuan asked in his heart.

This thought had suddenly popped into his mind.

Although he didn't have a particular need for artifact refining right now, he would sooner or later.

Not all magical tools and treasures could be commissioned for others to refine or bought as finished products.

Once his cultivation reached the Purple Mansion Realm, he would be able to nurture a life-bound treasure within his Purple Mansion.

The life-bound treasure he refined himself would not necessarily be the best treasure.

Yet the best and most famous natal magic treasures are always those refined by the cultivators themselves.

But that is a digression; he is only in the Spirit Sea Realm, so there is no need to worry about natal magic treasures just yet.

Chen Xuan soon returned to his residence.

He began his seclusion to refine pills.

"It's up to you, brother."

Chen Xuan thought to himself as he manifested the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame.

The Purple Imperial Dragon Flame immediately set to work.

First, it began refining the Spirit Sea Pill.

The purple flames precisely enveloped the pill furnace as portions of medicinal herbs were tossed inside.

The temperature and shape of the flames shifted subtly both inside and outside the furnace; the entire process was as smooth as flowing water and incredibly precise.

Before long, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the furnace.

He opened the furnace.

Twelve round, crystalline pills with clear patterns on their surfaces and a faint, flowing spiritual luster flew out, landing in the jade bottle Chen Xuan had prepared.

Chen Xuan took a look, a smile spreading across his face.

As expected, the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame is truly awesome.

They were all top-grade Tier 1 Spirit Sea Pills.

Without pausing, the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame continued to feed in materials, starting a new round of refining without a moment's rest.

With it in charge, there was almost no chance of failure for any batch of Spirit Sea Pill materials, and the efficiency was shockingly high.

Soon, jade bottle after jade bottle was lined up in front of Chen Xuan, each filled with ten top-grade Spirit Sea Pills.

Once the materials were exhausted, Chen Xuan looked at the pills with a smile.

Immediately after, Chen Xuan took out a Spirit Sea Pill and swallowed it.

[Your cultivation technique "Flowing Cloud Technique" has sensed a massive surge of medicinal power!]
[Satisfying, so satisfying!]

The pill melted the moment it touched his tongue, transforming into a torrent of surging spiritual power far greater and purer than that of a Qi Gathering Pill, rushing violently through Chen Xuan's body.

However, this medicinal power—which would take an ordinary early-stage Spirit Sea cultivator a long time to refine and absorb—was "swept away" at an astonishing speed by the Flowing Cloud Technique, which had been "standing at the ready." It was rapidly converted into Chen Xuan's own golden spiritual power and merged into the golden Spirit Sea within his dantian.

Although the medicinal power of the Spirit Sea Pill was strong, the conversion efficiency of the Flowing Cloud Technique was extremely high, leaving almost no waste.

After consuming one pill, Chen Xuan could clearly feel that the Spirit Sea in his dantian had grown significantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xuan took out another Spirit Sea Pill and swallowed it.

[Refreshing! So refreshing!]
[This is way more potent than the Qi Gathering Pill!]
[Give me another! Don't stop!]

Damn... it feels like I'm popping pills.

Well... I suppose I am.

Chen Xuan continued to consume the Spirit Sea Pills.

One after another, he felt like an endless pill furnace, with the Flowing Cloud Technique acting as the highly efficient conversion core, continuously transforming the massive amount of spiritual power from the pills into his cultivation base.

The golden Spirit Sea in Chen Xuan's dantian expanded and deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming increasingly turbulent and vast.

His cultivation base began to skyrocket accordingly.

Early Spirit Sea Realm!

Mid Spirit Sea Realm!

Late Spirit Sea Realm!

Peak Spirit Sea Realm!

Chen Xuan encountered almost no bottlenecks in his cultivation progress; his realm climbed upward like a hot knife through butter.

Once his cultivation reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, the surging spiritual power gradually returned to calm.

Having jumped from the early Spirit Sea stage to the peak in one go, Chen Xuan was not worried about an unstable foundation.

In this world, a cultivator's foundation is not judged by their cultivation speed, but by their Spirit Sea and their Dao Foundation...

With a golden Spirit Sea, as long as he achieves Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment next, his foundation will be as solid as it gets, regardless of how fast he cultivates.

After his cultivation improved, Chen Xuan released the Purple Imperial Dragon Flame to begin refining the Tier 2 Dragon Pattern Pill.

Automatic pill refining initiated.

Waves of medicinal fragrance began to spread wantonly once again.
