Chapter 1764 Inventorying the Elixir!
suddenly!
A glint of light flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
The once calm and still lake of my heart is now rippling as if a pebble has been thrown in.
He stared at the seemingly ordinary pill in his palm, which faintly exuded Daoist charm, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.
"The appearance of this pill... the spiritual energy it contains... how is it so similar to the [Minor Spirit Rhinoceros Pill]?"
He gently stroked the warm, smooth surface of the pill with his fingertips, recalling the extraordinary fragrance that had just wafted from it—a fragrance far more powerful and pure than that of the Lesser Spirit Rhinoceros Pill. A chill ran through him.
"No, the medicinal properties are similar!"
But its efficacy is worlds apart, far surpassing that of the Lesser Spirit Rhinoceros Pill by more than a hundred times!
With this thought in mind,
Cheng Buzheng's mind raced, and an uncontrollable guess welled up in his mind.
The thoughtful look in his eyes was quickly replaced by growing shock, and he even unconsciously slowed his breathing.
"This pill... could this pill be the one that has been lost for so long..."
It must be the authentic ancient elixir, the [Lingxi Pill], which only exists in ancient records!
Once the idea took hold, it grew wildly like weeds.
The more he examined it, the more likely it seemed.
The Lesser Spirit Rhinoceros Pill was originally a simplified version of the original Spirit Rhinoceros Pill, created by later alchemists based on incomplete formulas.
The medicinal properties are the same, but their effects are vastly different.
The ethereal Daoist aura contained within this elixir, which aids in comprehending the laws, is identical to that of the Lesser Spirit Rhinoceros Pill, yet it is infinitely more vast and profound.
What else could it be besides genuine products?
this moment.
When Cheng Buzheng looked again at the seemingly simple long-necked jade bottle in his hand...
His gaze had completely changed, filled with an unprecedented solemnity and fervor.
He carefully gripped the jade bottle as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
"Wanwan..." The image of his Daoist partner, Murong Wanwan, appeared in his mind.
She has reached the semi-saint level, but her path forward is almost completely blocked.
The realm of Divine Transformation is like an insurmountable chasm.
Even with the [Little Spirit Pill] I prepared for her,
And those spiritual objects of the laws that were painstakingly sought out, which could slightly lower the threshold for comprehending the laws,
Her chances of successfully breaking through remain terrifyingly slim.
"But if we had the genuine [Lingxi Pill] to help us..." Cheng Buzheng took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with astonishing light.
"The chances of successfully comprehending the rhythm of the laws can be increased by at least 10%!"
A 10% chance seems low, only one in ten.
But for cultivators who have been stuck at the half-saint realm for countless years, it is nothing short of a ray of dawn in the darkness, a hope that could drive any old monster mad!
After all, the higher one's cultivation level in the cultivation world, the more difficult it is to break through.
If news of this elixir were to leak out...
This will likely trigger a bloodbath immediately.
It is no exaggeration to say that it could even cause a catastrophe that would affect the entire cultivation world.
There's no other reason than that the opportunities in this world to help a half-saint level expert break through are extremely rare.
So few it's despairing.
So far, Cheng Buzheng only knows one thing: to use extremely precious spiritual objects that govern the laws to comprehend the rhythm of the laws and thus break through his current realm.
Even if one is lucky enough to comprehend the rhythm of the laws, there is a high chance that it will not be compatible with oneself.
If that's the case, the path to immortality will become even more difficult.
besides···
This is the genuine Lingxi Pill right before my eyes.
And the perilous path of transforming oneself into a mortal and entering the world, seeking that elusive glimmer of opportunity between life and death.
The thought of transforming into a mortal and entering the world brought a bitter smile to Cheng Buzheng's lips.
Back then, he had no other choice but to seal his cultivation, immerse himself in the mortal world for decades, undergo the trials of life, and face death to find life, ultimately succumbing to his life-threatening condition at the last moment…
He barely managed to grasp a trace of the laws governing life and death.
The hardships and dangers involved are beyond what outsiders can understand.
If there were any other way, how could Cheng Buzheng have possibly embarked on the path of becoming a mortal?
Fortunately, he was quite perceptive, which allowed him to trigger that opportunity amidst the crisis.
of course.
Not every semi-saint level expert has the opportunity to touch that sliver of opportunity when they descend to the mortal world.
Most of them failed.
It could even be said that 99% of the half-saints, after embarking on the path of mortal transformation, exhausted their lifespan and perished.
Therefore, the method of transforming oneself into an ordinary person and entering the world is only slightly possible.
Moreover, it also depends on one's comprehension and opportunity!
If the right opportunity doesn't come, even the most extraordinary talent won't help.
same.
The opportunity came, but lacking the comprehension, there was no chance to touch the rhythm of the law.
In other words, neither can be dispensed with.
In that brief moment, a thousand thoughts raced through my mind.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze returned to the jade bottle in his palm, and a genuine smile finally crept onto his lips.
It was a joy that felt both relieved and hopeful.
I never expected this!
The Golden Dragon Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier clan with an ancient heritage; its secret vault contains such heaven-defying elixirs!
Haha, heaven is on my side!
With this pill in hand, Wanwan has an extra layer of solid protection in her attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Even if one fails the first time, the insights gained from this pill will provide a foundation for future attempts!
Thinking that the path to Dao was within reach, Cheng Buzheng's joy grew even stronger.
The fatigue of the past few days seemed to have been swept away.
Think of this.
Cheng Buzheng's face grew even happier.
Then, with a solemn wave of his hand, he carefully placed the bottle of [Spiritual Rhinoceros Pill], which was crucial to the cultivation path of Daoist partners, into the deepest part of his storage bag.
It was also reinforced with several layers of restrictions.
After carefully storing the elixirs, Cheng Buzheng once again turned his gaze to the shelves in the secret vault, which were filled with a dazzling array of treasures, each radiating a different kind of precious light.
His eyes instantly became incredibly fervent.
At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"The first jade bottle contains the long-lost genuine [Lingxi Pill]!"
The treasures and elixirs in the other bottles and jars must be of similar quality!
His gaze swept over the antique-looking, heavily guarded bottles and jars on the shelves, and a burning desire welled up within him.
"The remaining treasures and elixirs are probably of very high quality as well!"
Perhaps an even bigger surprise is yet to come!
Suppressing his excitement, Cheng Buzheng did not hesitate at all, and followed suit, his large hand once again slashing through the air!
This time, a round, simple-looking bottle with a bulging belly floated lightly into his hands.
The bottle is cool to the touch, and is engraved with complex and mysterious patterns that faintly form a powerful seal.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his finger, an extremely condensed spiritual light precisely struck a key point of the seal.
Boo!
A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.
The sealing aura surrounding the large, round bottle dissipated in response.
At the same time, the bottle cap automatically slid open a crack.
In an instant, an indescribable medicinal fragrance filled the air.
The fragrance was initially delicate, like a secluded orchid in a valley, but it spread extremely quickly, filling the entire spacious secret vault in the blink of an eye and lingering for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Buzheng was slightly startled.
"Such strong medicinal diffusion!"
Such an extraordinary phenomenon occurring the moment the bottle was opened is enough to show that the elixir inside is no ordinary pill.
Otherwise, such a significant change wouldn't have occurred in such a short time.
Even his once-proud, top-grade fourth-tier elixir, the Nine Yang Purple Lotus Pill, which he personally refined, could not match this effect of instantly filling the room with fragrance.
Unless it is a pill with extremely special medicinal properties designed to attract targets from a distance, such as the [Beast Attraction Pill] or similar elixirs.
Gulu.
A pill the size of a longan, radiating a soft glow, rolled into his palm.
Nine clear lines on the body of the elixir were naturally formed, subtly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Cheng Buzheng leaned closer to examine it closely, his nose twitching slightly as he carefully discerned the nature of the strange fragrance.
However, as his perception deepened, his brows gradually furrowed.
"The medicinal effects are extremely pure and concentrated, far exceeding expectations."
"But...it's strange!" A look of doubt crossed his eyes.
"In this fragrant elixir, besides the pure and ethereal essence of herbs and trees,
But why is there also a trace of extremely faint yet profoundly rich turbidity and weight, as well as a sharp and scorching feeling?
He focused intently on his senses, his expression growing increasingly grave:
"wrong!
This is not an impurity, but rather... an extremely pure fire-attribute earth turbidity and an explosive fire-attribute innate aura!
Moreover, they weren't merely contaminated; they were perfectly integrated into the essence of the elixir, becoming part of the main ingredient!
"Could this elixir be an extremely special kind, used to break through to the Half-Saint realm?!"
"But this shouldn't be happening!" Cheng Buzheng muttered to himself, greatly surprised.
"That doesn't make sense either?"
If a cultivator needs turbid qi and fierce qi to temper their domain, they can simply seek out and refine them directly. Why go through all the trouble of using countless precious auxiliary medicines to refine them into pills?
Wouldn't that be redundant and a waste of resources?
But the next moment, his gaze swept over the antique shape of the large, round bottle in his hand, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
"wrong!
This large, round bottle has an ancient style and is definitely not a recent artifact.
It looks exactly like something made in ancient times.
Therefore, this elixir was formed sometime before ancient times.
"In other words, the resources before ancient times were completely different from the resources of today, with a significant gap."
Cheng Buzheng's thoughts suddenly became clear, "Perhaps in that era of relatively abundant resources, innate spiritual energy and the earth's turbid energy were considered precious."
At best, it can only be considered a mid-to-high-end cultivation resource.
But now, such cultivation resources are almost extinct.
Therefore, cultivators at that time valued time, not cost-effectiveness.
after all.
Completely refining the innate evil energy and the turbid energy of the earth and integrating them into one's own domain requires a long period of time.
This is naturally not a problem for cultivators in the current cultivation world.
But for cultivators from ancient times before the dawn of civilization, who had abundant cultivation resources...
This deal might be quite a bargain!
What's more!
The Golden Dragon Clan, with its ancient lineage, is naturally not lacking in such resources as a representative of top-tier forces.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to refine the innate vital energy and the earth's turbid energy into pills, thereby accelerating the refining process, even at the cost of some resources.
The more Cheng Buzheng thought about it, the clearer his mind became.
The slight frustration caused by my lack of knowledge immediately dissipated, replaced by a clear understanding of the wisdom of ancient practitioners.
A few moments.
His gaze fell once more on the elixir radiating a faint glow in his palm, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his lips.
"It is I who am like a frog in a well, judging the past by the present."
The wonders of the world are beyond our comprehension.
I've learned a lot today.
After a soft chuckle...
Cheng Buzheng resealed the elixir into the large, round bottle, then with a flick of his wrist...
The large, round bottle with an ancient shape, seemingly from prehistoric times, disappeared from his hands.
Followed by.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze fell once again on the bottles and jars displayed on the shelf.
"This pill has mountain-shaped patterns, a thick and dense aura, and a fragrance reminiscent of dragon rock. Could this be the supreme body-refining pill among the ancient spiritual pills, the Nine Mountains Pill?!"
"For body-refining cultivators from ancient times, it might be an unparalleled elixir."
However, in today's cultivation world, once one reaches the Golden Core realm, the cultivation methods focused on the three aspects of essence, energy, and spirit are completely ineffective.
"What a pity!"
He shook his head with slight regret and put it away.
Moreover, this pill is of no benefit to cultivators who practice worldly methods; in fact, it can cause great harm if ingested.
After all, once the three treasures of spirit, energy, and vitality are completely out of balance, one will inevitably go astray and fall into demonic possession.
Interrupted on the path to immortality is considered relatively mild.
In more serious cases, one could die on the spot.
of course.
If one cultivates methods from ancient times, this pill will be of great use.
After glancing at the elixir, Cheng Buzheng took out another jade bottle to examine it.
"What kind of elixir is this?"
The pill was as if cast from gold, exuding an inexplicable pressure, and even its fragrance carried a sharp and domineering aura!
"Huh!
Is this the Flying Dragon Pill?
"The patterns on the cinnabar resembled a dragon soaring into the sky, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and the fragrance of the cinnabar revealed a strange power."
"It is said that after taking this pill, one can transform into a true dragon and roam the heavens."
Combat strength has increased significantly.
Most importantly, this pill is not a one-time use elixir.
In other words, after taking this pill, one will possess a portion of the dragon's bloodline, allowing them to transform into a dragon at any time and experience a surge in combat power.
Even its lifespan is inherited from the dragon.
This is the most precious aspect of this elixir.
"Of course, the cost of refining the Flying Dragon Pill is also very high and extremely cruel. It requires the live melting of nine dragons with excellent bloodlines, supplemented by many rare and precious spiritual objects with dragon attributes, before there is any hope of refining it."
However, after this pill was created, it was suppressed and purged by the Golden Dragon Clan.
According to ancient records, countless forces were suppressed and killed by the Golden Dragon Clan at that time. The most tragic was naturally the force that produced this pill formula, with no one from the entire clan surviving.
It was later completely banned.
This is the end.
This "Flying Dragon Pill" has also become a thing of the past.
"Huh!
This elixir appears to be the "Thousand-Year Longevity Elixir."
As the name suggests, those who take this pill will have their lifespan increased by a thousand years.
However, this is not the most precious aspect of this pill.
after all.
There are quite a few treasures in the cultivation world that can increase lifespan.
However, the more treasures a cultivator consumes to increase lifespan, the less effective the lifespan increase becomes.
In the end, it had absolutely no effect.
However, this elixir is different; even if you consume large quantities of life-extending treasures, until you can no longer increase your lifespan...
However, those who take this elixir can still gain another thousand years of lifespan.
Unrestricted.
This is the most precious aspect of this elixir.
