A Lackluster Generation, the Origin-Evolving Pill!
A few weeks later--
Broad Spirit Peak, one of the Twenty-Four Peaks, was originally a rented cave abode area. Later, the plains surrounded by the Twenty-Four Peaks were transformed from the urban area into the Qin Clan's territory...
Broad Spirit Peak thus became the residential area for the Qin Clan's disciples who were cultivating...
Especially those disciples who emerged from the mortal realm, because they were not considered direct descendants, were not allowed to enter the main peaks of the Six Lineages...
So he had no choice but to build cave abode here to cultivate his spiritual practice.
Nowadays--
The Qin Clan has thirteen members across four generations, seven of whom are considered celestial beings born from mortals, though their aptitude...
Indeed, the results were disappointing. The best performers only had a 70-80% spark of inspiration, while the worst had only a 30-40% spark of inspiration, and their future remained uncertain...
The remaining six, though direct descendants of the Six Families, had varying degrees of talent.
The highest-ranking among them was a mere child with nine-tenths of the spiritual potential; among the thirteen members of the entire fourth generation of the Qin Clan, not a single one showed any signs of becoming an immortal...
They are all Pseudo-Immortal Seedlings!
This matter wasn't a huge deal, nor was it insignificant, but overall, while unexpected, it was also within the realm of reason. Nine people from three generations of the Qin dynasty...
Three seedlings with a spiritual light level of one inch or higher have emerged!
This in itself is already a sign of great fortune. Many Lineage are considered quite fortunate if they can produce a few promising immortals in each generation...
The good news is--
After several years of accumulation and consolidation, Qin Lu naturally broke through to the Dao Foundation Third Layer stage, while also making progress in alchemy...
Another breakthrough!
Many years ago, Qin Lu had intended to develop elixirs that could enhance aptitude. After numerous attempts, he finally reached a conclusion...
Aptitude, in this context, refers to a person's compatibility with the world...
Before a person is born, their vital energy is abundant, also known as Innate Primordial Qi. However, at the time of birth, the fetus is born along with heaven and earth...
The Innate Primordial Qi naturally dissipates; however, for those with higher compatibility...
Their Innate Primordial Qi will not dissipate; the degree to which it is retained determines the level of their spiritual aptitude. Those who retain more...
Those favored by heaven and earth possess superior talents, and innate intelligence is the norm.
Most gifted children can walk by the age of one, speak by the age of two, and have the same intelligence as an average five- or six-year-old child by the age of three...
This is not unusual in the cultivation world...
If a child can retain their Innate Primordial Qi after birth, this is considered a sign of perfect health, Innate Primordial Qi is integrated with the body.
Thus, all sorts of Innate Spirit Physique came into being!
But how many people in this world can maintain their Innate Primordial Qi without it dissipating? This is why those with spiritual bodies are extremely rare...
Qin Lu took this as his starting point.
The Innate Primordial Qi is essentially the degree of compatibility between humanity and the universe. The Dao Law, as the cornerstone of the universe, is the existence most compatible with the universe...
For example, the Ji Clan, that Child of Wind, Ji Qing!
According to rumors, the mother nourished the fetus with various spiritual objects imbued with the Wind Dao, in other words, with treasures based on the laws of the Dao Law...
This is done to improve the compatibility between the fetus and the universe, thereby giving birth to offspring with better potential.
Therefore--
Although Qin Lu cannot change his innate constitution, he can use it as a foundation to change his acquired constitution, though it's not worth it...
Most treasures that contain Dao Law are of the Third-Tier or higher!
Would you use a Third-Tier spiritual artifact to nurture someone whose aptitude is already fixed and Dao Path is bleak? Obviously not...
A single Third-Tier spiritual item is enough to buy thousands upon thousands of immortal slaves!
But that's all.
Qin Lu ultimately used the Third-Tier Spirit Plant, the Spirit-Evolving Flower, as the main ingredient, supplemented with three Third-Tier foundation-strengthening spirit medicine and seventy-two Second-Tier spirit medicine...
They've successfully developed a mid-grade, Third-Tier Middle Grade elixir: the Origin-Evolving Pill!
Its main ingredient Spirit-Evolving Flower, requires thirty years to sprout, thirty years to mature, thirty years to reach full maturity, and finally, thirty years to bloom...
The harvesting period is only one week.
It took 120 years for it to bloom once, and within it was a trace of the Dao Law of Earth Element...
If one cultivates, it can assist Qi Condensation cultivators in comprehending the Dao Rhyme Dao Rhyme Earth, but in this world, how many Qi Condensation cultivators can wait for the Spirit-Evolving Flower?
Therefore, the Origin-Evolving Pill Pill--
Although Qin Lu developed this elixir capable of enhancing aptitude, the supply was limited due to high demand and extremely long production time, making its distribution a problem once again...
This pill can only be taken once in a lifetime.
Depending on individual constitution, this pill can help those with spiritual light below one inch to Spirit Ascension by five to eight points. Taking this pill is equivalent to opening the channel to advance to Qi Condensation!
For those with a spiritual aura of one inch or higher, the expected improvement is around seven to nine points, depending on individual constitution; the higher the aptitude...
It inherently possesses a high degree of harmony with heaven and earth, thus making advancement relatively easier!
Vast Dao Field -- Central Peak
Qin Lu stepped out of his secluded retreat, the long-lost tranquility brought a sense of peace to his mind...
Looking at the artificial sky, my mood unconsciously grew heavier. I wondered how the outside world had developed over the past few years...
"But..."
"With this pill, Wen'er also has a chance to break through! The other boys' future paths will be smoother too..."
As he spoke--
Two bottles of pills appeared in Qin Lu's hand; they were the Origin-Evolving Pill!
I obtained three well-preserved Spirit-Evolving Flower from the Flower Willow Courtyard ten years ago, and they matured and were preserved there...
Enough to refine three batches of Origin-Evolving Pill!
A total of Dan Shisan were successfully formed. One was made for himself, one for each of his six sons, and the rest were distributed among Minghan, Mingdao, Mingyuan, Mingle, and others...
Among them, Han, Dao, and Le are all already at least one inch in aptitude. If they take this pill, they will most likely reach the level of two or three inches in spiritual light!
Mingyuan possesses an Acquired Spirit Physique, so it is reasonable for him to use this elixir.
As for the last two—
It's not unreasonable for Qin Mingzheng one, after all, he's the only weapon-refining prodigy in the clan, and this will greatly benefit the clan's weapon-refining endeavors in the future...
We still need a master to lay the foundation!
And the last one--
Emotionally speaking, Mingxi, Mingyue, and Mingyi are all his grandchildren, so Qin Lu would be willing to give them to any of them...
But rationally speaking, none of these three were particularly talented...
Of the four generations of descendants, according to Qin Xiao's words, not a single one is capable of shouldering the responsibility. To use such Precious Pill to cultivate a talentless person...
That's such a waste!
Therefore, Qin Lu hardened his heart and withheld the last pill...
This elixir is the foundation!
Only when the next Qilin of the Qin Clan is born can this Pill Formula truly unleash its full potential...
"Xi'er, Yi'er, and Mingyue, you've all grown up..."
"I hope you understand that everything must be done with the greater good in mind. Everything Grandpa has done is for the prosperity of the Lineage!"
Thinking of this--
Qin Lu sighed, summoned a green snake, and had it deliver the elixir to Qin Xiao...
Afterwards, Qin Lu swallowed a Origin-Evolving Pill and began to refine its medicinal effects, even though he already possessed Innate Spirit Physique...
However, it still has some flaws.
His cultivation speed is only equivalent to about seven inches of spiritual light; his true cultivation aptitude is merely one inch...
Swallowing this pill should raise his aptitude by two inches...
With the blessing of a spiritual body, his cultivation speed is equivalent to about eight inches of spiritual light, already comparable to some top geniuses...
