Third-tier spiritual herbs are generally impossible for ordinary people to refine, even a master alchemist like Lin Yu. However, he still tried it once and found that he could actually refine the spiritual herbs, and his strength also increased significantly.
However, there were only two of these spiritual herbs. After refining one, Lin Yu would need to find another way to obtain the remaining one.
Lin Yu went to Medicine King Valley again and bought all the medicinal herbs. He then put all the herbs for refining the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill into the medicine cauldron, turned the flame to its maximum, and then slapped the medicine cauldron with his palm.
Boom!
With a loud bang, flames burst from the lid of the cauldron, and a wave of heat swept through the entire room, causing the temperature inside to rise significantly.
Lin Yu shook his arms, and flames instantly enveloped the medicine cauldron. Then, with a wave of Lin Yu hand, the flames vanished, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the cauldron.
Then Lin Yu reached out and grabbed a fifth-grade spirit stone, then threw it into the medicine cauldron, and the flames immediately reignited.
Lin Yu closed his eyes to rest, his True Qi surging wildly within him. Then, he infused a wisp of his soul power into the medicine cauldron and began refining the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill.
The medicinal properties of the Five Elements Spiritual Herbs are inherently potent. Lin Yu would have to expend a great deal of effort to refine the impurities within them. If an ordinary person were to refine such a spiritual herb, it would probably take them an hour or more to remove the impurities, let alone refine it.
However, Lin Yu was different. His soul strength was extremely powerful, so he had a certain degree of control over the spiritual herbs. As a result, the speed of refining the spiritual herbs was much faster. In less than an hour, Lin Yu had successfully removed all the impurities from them.
This time, it took him much longer to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Medicines than before, because the Spiritual Qi contained in the Five Elements Spiritual Medicines was enormous. It took him a lot of energy to refine one Five Elements Spiritual Medicine in an hour.
After refining three Five Elements Spiritual Herbs, Lin Yu felt his body brimming with power, and at this moment, he finally completed the final step.
Five Elements Elixir, Blood Coagulation Formed into Pill!
"Blood congeals into a pill!"
Lin Yu muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, and his internal True Qi burst forth, flowing into his dantian. The golden liquid in his dantian then suddenly boiled.
A ball of crimson liquid shot out from Lin Yu's dantian, tumbling in mid-air before slowly changing shape.
Gradually, the crimson liquid began to take on the outline of a pill, and it grew larger and larger.
"The blood-condensing pill has finally been successfully refined. However, my current strength is far from sufficient. If my cultivation level were to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or even the perfect Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage, then this pill should be able to reach the early Foundation Establishment Realm, and its power would increase significantly," Lin Yu thought to himself.
"This is the difference between the early and Foundation Establishment Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators can use spells to attack enemies, but they lack the ability to perform spell attacks themselves. Therefore, late Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can use their physical bodies to cast spells, and the power is even greater than before!" Images flashed through Lin Yu's mind—detailed records of the combat power of early Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. By studying these memories, Lin Yu could master this knowledge, greatly enhancing his strength!
"However, I am only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage now. If I want to raise my cultivation from the early Foundation Establishment Realm to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage perfect stage, it will take me at least twenty years!" Lin Yu thought to himself. The Foundation Establishment Realm perfect stage is divided into four levels: early, middle, late, and perfect.
There is a very large gap between the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and the Foundation Establishment Late Stage! Crossing this gap is extremely difficult!
"But I must cross this chasm!" Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, his mind made up.
"No, I still need to find a suitable place to break through!"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of a place where he planned to break through to the next level!
This place is Hell Island.
Many ancient martial artists and cultivators from other races have been to this place, but none of them have ever left alive!
On Hell Island, there is an ancient ruin, a cave dwelling within which many precious resources are hidden! Moreover, it is said that this was once the site of a super sect, with extremely rich wealth inside, and it is even possible that there are items of the level of Immortal Artifact and spiritual artifacts.
Moreover, an ancient map was hidden inside the cave, marking its location. This attracted many martial arts practitioners who wanted to explore it, but all their efforts ultimately came to nothing, with only a handful escaping.
However, that map was taken away by a powerful figure from a super sect.
Lin Yu had also heard of this map, but he had never been to the ruins, so he didn't know its true value.
However, he believed that there must be treasures in that place, otherwise the powerful figure from that ancient sect would not have taken the map. Moreover, the map also contained some clues about the ruins. As long as he found the location of the ruins, he might be able to obtain quite a lot!
Therefore, Lin Yu decided to explore the ruins.
Having figured this out, Lin Yu calmed down and continued refining the Five Elements Spiritual Medicine.
This time, Lin Yu Lin Yu ten Five Elements Spiritual Herbs. He swallowed all ten in one go, which greatly increased his strength and also gave him a large amount of pure Spiritual Qi!
"Although I'm still a bit short of the perfect Foundation Establishment Realm, I should be able to break through to the perfect late Foundation Establishment Realm stage in a little while!" Lin Yu thought to himself.
Over the next few days, Lin Yu refined five spiritual pills every few days and one every three days. His cultivation level continued to increase, and his strength continued to climb. In just a few days, Lin Yu's cultivation level had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
However, this would consume a lot of Spiritual Qi, and Lin Yu dared not easily consume ordinary spiritual medicines to replenish his energy, since doing so would be a waste of Spiritual Qi!
He still had one hundred spirit herbs left in his identity token, and he planned to consume them again to cultivate and strive to break through to the late Foundation Establishment Realm stage as soon as possible!
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yu exhaled a long breath; his aura had reached its peak, and now all he needed was a trigger.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes widened in surprise because he discovered that he could directly control his nascent soul, which meant he now possessed two bodies—a truly enormous surprise!
