An Lin returned to his living quarters and began tempering his core.
The Beast Core within his body was already glowing brighter and brighter, resembling a small golden sun in his sea of vital energy.
The energy imbued within the Beast Core was already extremely abundant and had reached a certain threshold. As long as he could break through this threshold, he would be able to progress to the next rank!
He was able to progress to the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage within a short span of a year, and this was all thanks to the Divine Liquid Creation Technique and the Wings of True Fire, which had greatly refined his body and allowed his sea of vital energy to become even more vast.
With a solid foundation, he would be able to progress even faster.
The next day, An Lin went to Dou Shuai Palace and used Emperor Ziwei's immortal pill invitation to ask Yi Xi the Enlightened to refine a Five Elemental Essence Destruction Immortal Pill. This was a sixth-grade immortal pill that could condense the power of the five elements in a cultivator.
An Lin cultivated the Evergreen Technique, the Wings of True Fire, the Divine Liquid Creation Technique, and the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill, all of which were five elemental cultivation methods. He felt like using the Five Elemental Essence Destruction Pill to condense the power of the five elements would be an opportunity for him to progress to the next rank.
Thus, he swallowed the immortal pill right in front of Yi Xi.
This was an experiment. Even if he couldn't make a breakthrough, it would still be worth it if he could further condense the power of the five elements.
Soon, he seemed to have sensed the power of the immortal pill, and his blood began to boil.
A blue liquid covered his skin, and a lotus flower imbued with the power of the earth appeared on his glabella. Crimson wings of fire also appeared around his body. The green halo appeared above his head again, and a powerful life force burst forth.
His four cultivation methods glowed with vigor!
Yi Xi's eyes widened, and his breathing accelerated. "It's here, it's here again! This is the fundamental transformation of the immortal pill!"
Boom!
Vital energy suddenly surged in the sky. Immediately afterward, a huge amount of vital energy converged above An Lin's head like a massive tidal wave.
The cyclone was over a thousand feet in length, and it covered half the sky, creating a massive commotion.
In the end, the vital energy surged into An Lin's body like a dragon bowing its head, helping him complete some sort of transformation.
Yi Xi collapsed to the ground in shock, and his mouth gaped open. "This is a true pill-consuming mighty figure! Not only does eating an immortal pill trigger a fundamental transformation within one's body, it can also help one break through to the next rank! How terrifying is this! "
The storm of vitality gradually subsided.
An Lin stood up. His eyes were bright as he felt the leap in his strength.
From this day forth, he was a Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage cultivator!
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist An Lin for successfully breaking through!"
Yi Xi immediately came over to offer his congratulations. He looked at An Lin as if he were looking at an idol.
"This is all thanks to the immortal pill refined by Senior Yi Xi." An Lin also joined his fists in a grateful salute toward Yi Xi.
"Not at all, not at all … It's clearly Fellow Daoist's pill-swallowing posture that no one can match …"
"Ahem … I was wondering if Mr. An Lin could teach me how to consume immortal pills …" Yi Xi asked sheepishly.
Taking the initiative to ask others how to take pills was actually a very rude thing to do, especially when An Lin's method of taking pills might be combined with some unique secret method. This was a cultivator's heritage, and generally, it would not be disclosed to outsiders.
However, An Lin's pill-swallowing technique was simply too astonishing, and Yi Xi was unable to repress his urge.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely reward you to your satisfaction!" Yi Xi continued as if he was afraid that An Lin would refuse.
An Lin scratched his head with a perplexed expression. What the hell is this? Isn't taking pills just swallowing them and then digesting them?
It's like someone suddenly coming over and asking you to teach them how to eat. F * ck, even a three-year-old knows how to eat, and you want me to teach you how to eat? Are you retarded?!
Yi Xi saw the perplexed expression on An Lin's face and knew that he had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he knew that he had no chance.
It was normal that An Lin didn't want to disclose his unique secret method.
After a brief moment of disappointment, Yi Xi quickly regained his composure. Even if An Lin didn't tell him, he would still rely on his own willpower to figure out the method of taking immortal pills! This was his pride as the eldest disciple of Lord Laotzu, and there was nothing that could stump him!
An Lin saw Yi Xi's sudden disappointment, then excitement, then determination, and then determination, and immediately stood up to leave.
In the sky, he looked toward his system nervously.
The system's "cultivate hard and improve every day" had left a deep impression on him. Thankfully, he had encountered many miraculous encounters recently and was able to break through to Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage within a year.
Now that his cultivation base had changed, the requirements for the system's cultivation base tab should also change.
"Break through to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage — Condition: Slay an Emperor-level sea monster with your own hands."
An Lin's expression faltered. "This …"
Emperor-level sea monsters were the same as Emperor-level monsters in the mortal world. They could only be referred to as emperors after reaching Soul Formation Stage.
As for sea monsters, they could be found in both the West Sea and the East Sea. As long as he searched diligently, he would eventually be able to find one.
The essence of this mission was to allow him to battle above his rank. If Gundam One and Gundam Two pummeled the sea monster to the brink of death, then he would land the killing blow. Under these circumstances, the system would also count as "slaying the sea monster with your own hands", so this mission wouldn't be too difficult.
An Lin definitely wouldn't reject a system mission that could help him increase his cultivation base. Furthermore, this mission had a certain degree of feasibility. After all, even prodigies would have to spend several years to achieve a breakthrough if they didn't have a few miraculous encounters.
An Lin didn't want to waste so much time. If he did, he wouldn't be able to catch up to Xu Xiaolan.
In that case … I'll go to the East Sea to kill sea monsters this holiday!
He made up his mind and left without delay!
He would take his beast pets Xiao Chou and Dabai and set off at dawn!
An Lin suddenly felt like something was missing after formulating his plan.
"Huh? Why do I feel like I've forgotten someone? "He furrowed his brows.
Take his beast pets … Xiao Chou and Dabai …
"Holy f * ck! Where's my Xiao Hong?! "An Lin's body trembled as he yelled.
He suddenly recalled that little red flower, and his eyes widened in shock.
Dabai also came to a realization upon hearing An Lin's yell. "Woof! I was wondering why I felt like something was missing recently. It turns out that Big Sister Hong has disappeared! She's still hiding in Xu Xiaolan's arms and hasn't come back yet! "
An Lin grimaced. "It seems like she hasn't come out since she hid in Xu Xiaolan's arms at the Winter Dragon Tomb … It's been a few days and we've forgotten about her …"
"Big Sister Hong's presence is becoming more and more inconspicuous. She's probably been taken to the Vermilion Bird Sect by Xu Xiaolan already." Xiao Chou shook his head in resignation.
An Lin slapped his forehead and heaved a forlorn sigh. "Forget about her. Let her photosynthesize at the Vermilion Bird Sect. Time is of the essence, we have to set off for the East Sea now! "
Dabai stuck out his tongue. "Aren't you going to find a few more teammates? Woof! "
"Xiaolan has to go back to the sect to consolidate Shen Yin's inheritance, Su Qianyun has to accompany Chang 'e, and Big Brother Cheng has to go into seclusion at the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect. He won't come out until he breaks through to the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage." An Lin also sighed with emotion at the mention of Xuanyuan Cheng.
There were now two Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivators in their class. Su Qianyun lived up to her nickname of Dao Fanatic. She was the fastest student in their class to reach the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage.
Xu Xiaolan accompanied An Lin on a trip to the Winter Dragon Tomb, where she encountered a series of miraculous encounters and finally progressed to the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage.
When Xuanyuan Cheng heard this news, he felt like he was going to explode. He was a student with a letter of recommendation from a True God. To have his cultivation base surpassed by two of his classmates in a row was a massive blow to his confidence.
Hence, An Lin wasn't surprised that Xuanyuan Cheng would make such a decision. Instead, he felt like this was the Big Brother Cheng he knew.
"It's just an Emperor-level sea monster, it's more than enough for us to go!"
An Lin wore a confident expression. How could he be afraid of a Soul Formation Stage sea monster?
"Let's go, Dabai, Xiao Chou, let's go to the East Sea!"
