After leaving the Godly Crossing Peaks, Zhang Yan rode on his sword and activated his True Power to the extreme. A rainbow light flew across the blue sky like a flash of lightning or a meteor, flying north day and night.
Nine days later, he had already arrived at the intersection of the Donghua Continent and the North Darkstar Continent. This place was filled with green mountains, clear waters, and beautiful clouds. Between the heavens and the earth, there were undulating peaks, thousands of rocks, and tens of thousands of ravines. The vast mountains surged like waves, and the birds in the sky chased each other.
The majestic mountains and rivers made Zhang Yan feel relaxed. He wanted to roar at the sky and wander around freely.
However, condensing the core was more important, so he didn't have the mood to look at it. He suppressed the sword light and lowered down from the vast sky, turning into a rainbow as he searched for peaks and valleys.
As expected of the place where the two worlds intersected, the spiritual energy was like a tide, and the strong wind was raging, causing his sword gleam to sway incessantly, as if it could be pushed down at any time. He hurriedly steadied the conveyance light and flew carefully, thinking to himself, No wonder there are so few people here. With the ferocity and speed of my conveyance sword, it's still so strenuous to reach this place, let alone others.
In this way, his speed had slightly slowed down, but even then, he only used a day and night to find three Spirit Cleansing Points, and with a slight inspection, he noticed that all of them were top-notch holes that were filled with clear qi and didn't have a speck of dust on them, and he couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart.
He didn't nitpick too much. After choosing one cave, he turned the sword light, broke through the atmosphere, and descended.
As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a cool breeze brushing past his face. After a few breaths, he felt his heart and lungs were soothed and his body was at peace.
This cave was connected to the roots of the earth. There were thousands of twists and turns inside, like a bottomless ravine. Zhang Yan knew that this place couldn't tolerate any filth, so he flew deeper.
After descending for about ten thousand feet, he saw a stone cave that was about ten feet tall. The cave was full of green vines, and the walls inside looked like they had been washed. It was clean and shiny. It was just enough for one person to go in. His eyes lit up, and he smiled. "This is it."
He took a leap and leapt inside. Then, he grabbed a strand of Wood Essence Qi from his sleeve pouch and pulled a few vines over. He raised his hand and slapped it upwards. With the help of the Wood Essence Qi, it didn't take more than an hour. The vines crawled all over the stone walls. He sealed the entrance to the cave.
Zhang Yan shook his sleeve and several Talisman flew out and stuck to the vine. The talisman flashed slightly and then disappeared.
On this trip, although there was no sign of human habitation within ten thousand miles, there was no one. However, he had to be prepared for any eventualities. However, it was clear that it was pointing out the direction. Sealing the door like this was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It was to use the vines to sense the changes in the Qi outside, and it was the safest method. If there were any changes, they could respond in time.
After he sat down, he shook his shoulder and activated the Water Element True Light, shaking the demon birds out of the water screen one by one. Then, he slashed at them with the sword light.
These demon birds had long lost their sense of direction in the Water Element True Light. They were all muddle-headed and naturally had no ability to resist. Zhang Yan killed them one by one and took out the essence from their spines. Then, he stored them in the jade bottles that he had prepared in advance.
In just a moment, including the ferocious Golden Condor, he had killed over a hundred demonic birds, and all the jade bottles he carried with him were filled to the brim. Thinking that these Hidden Refinement Marrows were sufficient for him to condense a core, he stopped and released a Primordial Golden Flame Mystic Light to sweep the remaining blood, feathers, bones, and flesh of these demonic birds.
At this moment, his eyes were clear. Now that the six internal and external medicines were ready, it was time to refine the medicine and condense the pill!
This golden pill was divided into two steps. First, he would use the three external medicines and the external refining method to refine a pill seed. Then, he would swallow it and finally, he would use the internal refining method to condense the pill.
The external refining method was not very difficult. It only required the word "clean".
From this moment until he condensed the pill, all the spiritual Qi that he breathed in and out came from the One Qi Ganoderma. Not a single trace of impure Qi could be mixed in.
However, the external refining method was originally a method to remove the impurities and retain the essence. During the process, it was inevitable that there would be impurities. Therefore, it was necessary to use the extremely clear spiritual Qi that circulated in the Spirit Cleansing Cave all year round to wash away the impurities.
This action was related to the success or failure of the Great Dao. Zhang Yan did not dare to relax. He quietly adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind. Then, he flicked his sleeve and took out the One Qi Ganoderma and the Bright Stone Milk. These two items combined with the Spirit Cleansing Cave were the three external medicines.
After the One Qi Ganoderma emitted a strand of clear spiritual Qi, he took a deep breath. Then, with a low grunt, he activated his Xuan Qi. The eighty-one strands of clear and turbid Qi in his Qi Sea surged and lifted the five Xuan Seeds above his head.
The Golden Pill was the purest thing. Therefore, he needed to release the Xuan Seed's spiritual Qi and use the True Fire in his aperture to repeatedly burn it. This would remove all the impurities that were brought into his body by the cloud sand and the Evil Qi. Then, he would use the Bright Stone Milk to nourish it and slowly refine it. In the end, he would be able to form the Golden Pill. After the Golden Pill was formed, there would be no difference between Qi and Essence. Then, his Xuan Qi would be gathered in one place and become a ball. With just one Golden Pill, he would be able to control the mysterious spiritual Qi and the mighty mana.
Zhang Yan looked up and concentrated his Xuan Qi. With a "hua la" sound, it was as if there was an invisible hand grabbing the five Xuan Seeds and stirring them into a ball. In a split second, they were indistinguishable from each other. After a while, they actually bloomed with a multicolored brilliance.
Zhang Yan took the opportunity and made a hand sign. He opened his mouth and drew out the True Fire in his aperture from his Qi Sea and sprayed it on the Xuan Seed.
After being burned by the True Fire, the multicolored brilliance seemed to be unable to bear it. It made a crackling sound and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
However, he did not panic and raised his finger. A few drops of Bright Stone Milk flew out from the bottle and poured it on the Xuan Seed. It was as if a sweet rain had fallen and the spiritual rain was nourishing it. The light halo calmed down again.
Gradually, a wisp of black gas floated out from it. However, there was no place for it to stay in this Spirit Cleansing Cave. As soon as it appeared, it was cleansed by the clear Qi in the cave. At this moment, the multicolored brilliance also faded a little.
Zhang Yan patiently used the True Fire to refine it. Whenever the brilliance showed signs of cracking, he would use his True Power and use his spiritual energy to wrap it up. Then, he would use the Bright Stone Milk to replenish it. He would not let it dissipate in the slightest.
If it was a normal cultivator, they would only have one Xuan Seed and a dozen or so spiritual energy in their Qi Sea. This method would not even take an hour to complete.
However, Zhang Yan had all five Xuan Seeds and a total of eighty-one mouthfuls of spiritual energy. Naturally, he would have to work several times harder than others.
After about a day and night, a low shout came from the cave. Zhang Yan withdrew the True Fire and a Pure Pellet appeared in front of him. It was red and shiny. The round and dazzling Jindan came, and he laughed heartily. He raised his head. Then he swallowed it into his stomach.
This Pellet was just a Pellet Seed. He still needed to use the three internal medicines and use the Internal Refining Method to refine it. Only then could it become a Pellet Fruit.
He peered into the interior. Looking at the color of the Pellet Seed, it meant that there would be no problems in the future. It would be above the Fourth Grade Golden Pellet.
Pellets were divided into nine grades. Medicine accounted for three points and technique accounted for three points. Luck accounted for three points.
Medicine accounted for three points. It meant that if the six internal and external medicines that a cultivator found were all of high quality, then he would have three points of merit.
Technique accounted for three points. It meant that a cultivator trained hard in Xuan techniques. If it was a high quality technique, then he would have three points of merit.
And finally, luck accounted for three points. It meant that the top three medicines were unpredictable. It all depended on the cultivator's own luck and luck. It was impossible to grasp.
In reality, he was a disciple of a large sect. If it wasn't for the fact that the cultivator's root was too weak, the technique was not good, or the quality of the three external medicines was not good, the Pellet would most likely be around the Sixth Grade. And the Taiyi Mystic Light that Zhang Yan cultivated was a high quality Xuan technique. The three external medicines were also of high quality. It was not surprising that he could form this Pellet Seed.
However, once this Pellet Seed was formed, there was no turning back for Zhang Yan. If he couldn't sense the top three medicines during the Internal Refining Process, then he could forget about raising the Pellet Seed.
At this point, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Huanchen Essence, Leakless Air, Yingxin Fire, these three items were the top three medicines. Obtaining any one of them could raise one's merit by one grade. If one's foundation was above the Fourth Grade and all three medicines were obtained, then the Pellet Seed would become a First Grade Pellet!
However, he had no way of knowing when these three medicines should rise, fall, flourish, or decline.
Because the External Refining Method was cultivated outside the body, there were no secrets to speak of. It was just following the prescribed order and following the map. Anyone could do it.
However, this Internal Refining Method secretly contained a secret formula. Regardless of master or disciple, they were all taught orally. They were never written down and would not easily show it to others.
The reason why the Great Sects were strong and did not decline, other than having superior cultivation methods and occupying Spirit Points, was because of the secret passed down from generation to generation.
Even if one was lucky enough to encounter Immortal Fate outside, if it was not compatible with the Sect's cultivation method, when condensing the Pellet Seed, one would not be able to receive guidance from the Sect's seniors. Although they would be one step ahead of others in the big picture, they could not ask others for help in these small matters. They could only rely on their own luck.
And no matter how talented one was or how deep one's foundation was, if one really wanted to achieve the Immortal Path, there was only one chance to condense the Pellet Seed. If one succeeded, then they succeeded. If not, then they failed.
For example, those small Golden Core cultivators who failed to condense the Pellet Seed were most likely hopeless.
In Qincang School, although Zhang Yan was Zhou Chongju's disciple, Zhou Chongju was originally a direct disciple of the Zhou Sect. The method of condensing the Pellet Seed was passed down by the Zhou Sect for thousands of years. It was completely different from the cultivation method that Zhang Yan cultivated. Because of this, even if he told Zhang Yan everything, it would be useless.
Zhang Yan thought to himself that if he was only given one chance, he might be able to condense the Pellet Seed above the Fourth Grade. But if he wanted to condense the Pellet Seed into the First Grade, it was extremely unlikely.
But he was not worried. Instead, there was a slight smile on his face.
He reached into his sleeve and gently took a piece of hard and smooth jade.
With this piece of jade in hand, he could reverse the universe and refine the Pellet Seed. Even if he did not know the secret of the method, what did he have to fear?
He took out the three medicines from his sleeve and pointed. The Four Marquis Water, the Quejue Thunder, and the Hidden Refined Marrow all flew up.
The Four Marquis Water turned into a pool of clear water and entered all the orifices on his body. Finally, it was hidden in the lower mansion.
The Hidden Refined Marrow was swallowed into his stomach and hidden in the middle mansion. The Quejue Thunder went down from the top of his head and was hidden in the upper mansion.
After the three medicines were prepared, he slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind. Then, he boldly immersed himself into the remnant of the jade.
Suddenly, the clone in the jade that was no different from him opened his eyes and sat up in a lotus position, forming the spell.
But after a while, he retreated from the jade and said quietly, "Although the Pellet Seed has reached the Third Grade, it is still far from my expectations. I still need to try again."
He calmed himself down and his mind sank into the remnant of the jade again.
After this round of attempts, a day passed in the outside world.
When his mind retreated again, he was deep in thought. He thought to himself, "Out of ten times, I can condense the Huanchen Essence five or six times. It must be because the three medicines in my body are all high grade. As for the Leakless Wind, I've only seen it once. But that's not a problem. I'll just have to deduce it a few more times.
However, he wasn't worried. Once the three medicines appeared during his deduction, he could memorize the steps and details of the process. Then, he would practice it over and over again until he completely grasped the method.
Thus, in the following days, he deduced again and again in the remnant of the jade. He didn't know how many times he had gone through it. Finally, he familiarized himself with the secrets of the Leakless Wind and the Huanchen Essence.
At this point, he had comprehended the method to form a Second Grade Pellet Seed. If his goal was only to stop here. He could already refine medicine into Pellets.
However, he was someone who wanted to become a Celestial one day. How could he be satisfied with this step?
The path to forming a Pellet Seed was to climb the Heaven Ladder. The Heaven Ladder wasn't high. How could he climb the Heaven Ladder?
Zhang Yan frowned. The only obstacle in front of him was the Ying Heart Flame. He had deduced it thousands of times in the remnant of the jade, but he still didn't have the chance to see it.
Originally. He didn't need to rush. He just needed to continue deducing it. If he couldn't do it 100 times, then he would do it 1,000 times. If he couldn't do it 1,000 times, then he would do it 10,000 times. However, there was a bottleneck here.
It had already been 12 days since he left God Crossing Peak.
The other medicines were easy to deal with. However, the Quejue Thunder could only hide in the palace for three more days. After two hours, it would disappear. Therefore, he needed to obtain the Ying Heart Flame technique in the remaining three days. Only then would he be able to refine a First Grade Pellet Fruit.
Zhang Yan found it weird. One had to know that there was no difference between the three medicines. Why did the other two always appear but the Ying Heart Flame was so hard to find?
He pondered over it over and over again, deep in thought. "Ying Xin Huo, Ying Xin Huo …"
Suddenly, his eyebrows jumped. He thought back to the situation when he broke through to the Mystic Light Realm and a light bulb flashed in his head.
Wasn't this flame referring to his heart?
If he didn't have a heart that didn't fear danger on the path of cultivation and only cared about his life, he would just be a corpse guard slave. How could he talk about reaching the Grand Dao?
He was able to deduce techniques in the remnant jade, but it could only help him reach the Void Wind and Complete Essence. He lacked the mentality of not turning back until he saw the Grand Dao.
At this moment, he could only toss the remnant jade aside and give up on his path of retreat. Only then would he be able to see the truth!
"Since that's the case …" His eyes flashed and he stopped circulating his technique. He sat there silently and waited for the days to pass.
He was going to wait until the last day to condense the pill and not give himself any path of retreat.
Two days passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was the 15th day. A resolute aura slowly appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he had cut off all means of retreat and forced himself to the edge of the cliff. Success or failure would depend on this!
He sat on the rock and looked inside his aura sea. He first drew out the Hidden Refinement Marrow in his Middle Mansion and placed it on the Core Seed. After circulating it slightly, it was all absorbed by the Core Seed.
After that, with a turn of the pill seed, the ball of true fire was sucked in. After a while, the door to his mansion opened up a gap, and in an instant, the lightning was excited. A bolt of lightning descended, and impatiently struck the pill seed, as if it wanted to break it in one go.
This lightning was used to refine the Core. One couldn't see any power when bathing in lightning outside, but it was very fierce inside the body.
After being struck by the lightning, the Core Seed couldn't help but tremble. A few cracks appeared on the originally bright surface. The True Fire seeped out and the color of the Core Seed dimmed.
Zhang Yan didn't panic. He only guided the water from the Four Marquises up from his Lower Mansion and poured it into the Core Seed. With the nourishment of the clear Spirit Water and the True Fire, the Core Seed became moist again. The cracks gradually showed signs of healing.
At this moment, he circulated the Core Seed again and continued to absorb the Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Qi around him. After a while, he opened the door to his Mansion and guided a bolt of lightning to descend. He continued to refine the Core Seed. After an unknown amount of time, his body suddenly trembled and a speck of light appeared from his Lower Mansion and slowly floated up.
Zhang Yan knew that this was the Essence of Huanchen. He didn't hesitate anymore. He circulated the Core Seed and carefully absorbed it.
Once he obtained this medicine, the cracks on the Core Seed became as thin as a spider's web. If he didn't look closely, he wouldn't have noticed it.
After a while, he suddenly felt his Upper Mansion shake and a gust of clear Qi came out like the wind.
When this wind came, it was extremely ferocious. It rushed left and right, desperately trying to get out of his body. It was as if it wanted to push his body open. Even if it chased and blocked him with all its might, it still insisted on getting out of his body through his pores.
Zhang Yan's expression didn't change. He had already encountered this situation hundreds of times in the broken jade. He knew how to deal with it and didn't panic. He just circulated the Spirit Comprehending Contract Mysterious Technique. His body instantly became as hard as metal, like a block.
This Leakless Wind immediately had nowhere to go. After wandering for a while, it seemed to have found its final home and climbed towards the Core Seed.
Zhang Yan had been waiting for a long time. He circulated the Core Seed and with a tremble, the medicine was absorbed into the Core Seed like the Essence of Huanchen.
After obtaining two pills in a row, the Golden Core instantly became dazzling, bright, and smooth. The cracks on it were slowly closing up.
At this stage, if the last pill did not appear, when the crack completely closed, the pill would condense into a flawless pill, and could only become a second-grade golden pill. However, the Ying Xin Fire was still nowhere to be seen.
At this last moment, Zhang Yan only felt that his bier was clear and clear. The various scenes since he started cultivating flashed before his eyes. After that, everything went far away from him, leaving only nothingness. Gradually, he seemed to understand that there was a big net covering him in this world, preventing him from taking this step. At this critical moment, an obsession suddenly rose in his heart. "No matter how you cage me, if you want to stop me from achieving Dao, you can't!"
His firm and unparalleled heart, in a split second, transformed into a will that vowed to split the heaven and earth, suddenly breaking through that layer of shackles. Suddenly, a clump of fire was ignited in his heart, endless light was released, rushing to the Dan seed and burning it. At this moment, the crack on the Dan seed coincidentally closed. He only felt a loud bang in his head, a dense stream of energy was boiling, in a split second, it flowed through the meridians and apertures of his body, after a while it calmed down.
When he retracted his Qi and opened his eyes again, he saw an extremely clear, pure, glass-like Core Seed falling into his stomach.
Zhang Yan laughed heartily and recited,
"Outside the mountains to find medicine to grind the Dao heart, in the world of two continents to comprehend the true nature,
The Core Seed is Glazed Golden Scarlet Fruit, I want to climb the peak to understand the wonders.
In the west, the Golden Drum gathers the shape of a tiger, from the east comes the purple Qi leaps and roars of a dragon.
Once the Golden Cauldron is overturned, a hundred and eight thousand clouds rise! "
After chanting, he shook his sleeves and shook the Core Seed. He turned into a cloud like smoke and instantly rushed through thousands of mountains and rivers, straight into the clouds.
