The Mystic Elixir Dharma Assembly) lasts for several months and is a gathering place for many Alchemist in Eastern Radiance, where many miraculous elixirs and precious medicines naturally appear.
In recent days, beams of Treasure Light have appeared from the [ Purple Elixir Terrace ] from time to time, but they are quickly blocked by the platform's magical power, preventing them from pouring into the outer city and causing unnecessary harm to the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.
The refining process of the [ Snowflow Heart-Melting Pill ] went smoothly, but the pill was somewhat complicated. In addition, it was an ancient Pill Formula with a peculiar ratio of ingredients, so someone had to keep an eye on it at all times.
But Chen Shuangbai possesses Zhanlu.
Ignoring Zhanlu's slightly resentful gaze, Chen Shuangbai took the opportunity to leave the alchemy room and went to browse the alchemy fair with several friends, including True Lord Jinxi. He also managed to find two kinds of pills to assist his current cultivation.
One is the [ Six Yang Origin-Melting Pill ], and the other is the [ Azure One Origin-Transforming Pill ].
The former was purchased by Chen Shuangbai Bureau at a considerable cost of Spirit Stone. It was a top-grade fourth-tier pill, belonging to the Yang Fire category, suitable for nourishing the Yang energy within his true spirit, preventing excessive Yin energy.
The latter was obtained through the connection with True Lord Jinxi and exchanged with a fourth-level old Alchemist. It belongs to the Ren Water category and is extremely compatible with the Water Virtue Origin. After consumption, it can gently strengthen the Nascent Soul Origin.
After obtaining these two pills, Chen Shuangbai relinquished all responsibility for the refining of the [ Snowflow Heart-Melting Pill ] and devoted himself to his own cultivation.
A year has passed.
Chen Shuangbai slowly opened his eyes from inside the hall. Jade light rose in his eyes, and five-colored water shimmered around him. The Qingming water transformed into a mysterious pool, filling the hall. It was five-colored, with frost flowers cascading down the ground above and many wonders such as frost flowers, jade rabbits and toads, and Glazed Glass trees appearing below. But they quickly disappeared without a trace.
"It truly is a top-grade fourth-tier precious pill, making my cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!"
And that's not all.
As the year passed, Chen Shuangbai had refined two of the [ Mystic Origin Treasure Leaf ] using the Secret Method within the [ Current-Tracing Truth-Congealing Wondrous Method ], successfully breaking through part of the Shell Barrier.
Presumably, once the remaining two types of spiritual resources are collected, the Nascent Soul Late Stage will not be far off.
He slowly stood up, and the strange phenomena in the hall vanished without a trace, leaving only a plain white sword floating slowly in the hall.
On the gleaming, pristine sword blade, reflecting numerous Grand Yin mystical patterns, floats a frosty branch, which is absorbed into the sword and continuously refined, enhancing its inherent power.
Chen Shuangbai raised his hand and the [ Foot-Long Silk ] fell back into his hand.
He activated his Divine Ability, merging his life force with that of his natal sword, sensing its transformation. Yet, he still frowned slightly, muttering to himself, "Indeed... relying on the weapon spirit to refine it on its own takes far too long!"
Whether it's upgrading from Spirit Artifact to Law Treasure, or from Law Treasure to Spirit Treasure, the bottlenecks involved are not easily overcome overnight.
Although [ Foot-Long Silk ] is full of spirituality and her Divine Ability is in harmony with that of the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal Chen Shuangbai, and their supernatural powers are intertwined, she still cannot achieve the same terrifying cultivation speed as the sword master Chen Shuangbai, which is like the rising sun.
The young man in the rosy robes frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "I still need to find a highly skilled alchemist!"
Having considered this, he decided to end his seclusion.
A radiant light flashed within the hall, and frost appeared in an instant, before the figure vanished.
Inside the alchemy room.
Zhanlu was calmly flipping through a Daoist book. This book was something she had Feiguang bring back from her errands while she was bored from refining pills. It contained many cultivation insights that were widely circulated among cultivators in the Eastern Domain.
Although it's very common, it has many clever little touches.
She paused, then saw a flash of light in the room; her true form had arrived. Her gaze fell upon the Pill Furnace with its vibrant purple flames, and she said, "My true form, you've emerged from seclusion?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on him as she asked, "How is it?"
Zhanlu stepped forward and stood beside him, saying, "Naturally, it went smoothly."
"It should take about another year and a half to complete the elixir."
The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer it takes to refine and the more difficult it is to do so.
Chen Shuangbai released his Divine Sense to carefully sense the situation, and then verified it with his Divine Ability powers. Finding that there was indeed no danger, he left with peace of mind and turned to seek out the True Lord Jinxi, an old senior in White Emperor City.
Since you are unable to walk, Feiguang will remain to be your servant.
These words remained inside the alchemy room.
Zhanlu gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "You..."
Upon closer reflection, however, he realized that they were essentially one entity, and that cursing Chen Shuangbai was tantamount to cursing himself, so he could only swallow his anger.
The White Emperor City was influenced by the Divine Ability of the Celestial Person. From the outside, it appeared to be a celestial city stretching along the coast, and its interior was even more vast, comparable to a country.
After leaving Azure Immortal Abode, Chen Shuangbai, familiar with the area, took a detour and, carrying some gifts, went to the gate of the [ Golden Ao Courtyard ] where True Lord Jinxi was staying.
Perhaps because he came so often, the servants at the door recognized Alchemist Xuhong and warmly welcomed him inside.
Not long after.
The gate to the villa was wide open, and True Lord Jinxi's cheerful voice could be heard even before he arrived.
"I'm usually the one who seeks out you, fellow Daoist, but today you've taken the initiative to come to my Golden Ao Court... What a rare guest!"
The orange-yellow light of the Gen Earth Dharma shone down first, landing on the ground and condensing into patches of yellow soil, on which various crystals grew, but soon disappeared.
Chen Shuangbai stood up, exchanged pleasantries with True Lord Jinxi, and then explained the purpose of her visit.
"Oh, so you're Master Xunyi!"
True Lord Jinxi stroked his beard and chuckled, "That's easy. White Emperor City is a place where the art of alchemy flourishes. There are plenty of Alchemist, let alone refiners!"
"Fellow Xuhong, you are suffering from the obstacle of limited understanding!"
Chen Shuangbai laughed and said, "I understand that, of course. I came here to use your connections to find a good alchemist!"
"Sure, sure!"
True Lord Jinxi had a good impression of this two-hundred-year-old True Lord Xuhong, not only because he had refined a batch of precious pills that sent his direct descendant to the Golden Core realm, but also because he saw Chen Shuangbai's potential.
He reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage at just over two hundred years old, and is about to break through the Shell Barrier to become Nascent Soul Late Stage...
Such talent for cultivation is extremely rare, no matter where you are!
To put it bluntly, he could be called a prodigy!
If Jinxi weren't from some illegitimate lineage and had no powerful sects or demonic sects to back him up, he might already be trying to recruit Chen Shuangbai into his sect!
Let's go!
The two left [ Golden Ao Courtyard ] together, transforming into two beams of light and heading towards a certain place in the city.
With True Lord Jinxi leading the way, Chen Shuangbai followed closely behind. The two streaks of light swept across the sky above White Emperor City, passing through layers of restrictive halos. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they landed in a relatively remote area in the west of the city.
Before even landing, Chen Shuangbai could already feel a scorching heat.
Within this fiery element, there was also a pure metallic element. The two elements intertwined and evolved into a shimmering expanse of crimson-gold light, within which various attendants walked, all dressed in the white-gold robes of the White Emperor City.
"Arrive."
True Lord Jinxi descended from the clouds, pulling Chen Shuangbai to a spot where the crimson-gold light shone brightest.
Here stands a mansion, where disciples of various sects from White Emperor City walk about. Shelves are filled with all kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, and knives, all radiating brilliant magical light, which is quite dazzling.
Chen Shuangbai looked up and saw a pure gold plaque in the mansion with the words "[Gold Craftsman]" on it.
