Before the war between the two realms, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and the others visited the Ancient Longevity World. Xiao Yan, Dao Master Qing Ning, and Dao Master Ling Jue, Gu Yuankai held a small-scale Elixir Gathering.
There were only three people participating in the Elixir Gathering. In terms of scale, it could hardly be called an Elixir Gathering.
But in terms of the identity of the participants, whether it was Dao Master Qing Ning, Dao Master Ling Jue, or Xiao Yan, they were all the best alchemists in the Divine Land. The Elixir Gathering was of a ridiculously high standard, rarely seen since ancient times.
And the witnesses of the Elixir Gathering, Lin Feng, Gu Jun, and Yan Nanlai, were all of high status.
In that Elixir Gathering, Xiao Yan defeated Dao Master Qing Ning and Gu Yuankai of the Taixu Temple and won.
At that time, Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai were surprised and impressed by Xiao Yan's attainments in the Way of Alchemy.
Before Xiao Yan, there were already innovations, but they were not comparable to the Ten Saints Golden Elixir, Longevity Elixir, Bodhi Elixir, and other top elixirs.
Gu Jun and the rest all vaguely thought that as Xiao Yan's cultivation grew higher and he immersed himself in alchemy for a longer period of time, there would be a day where he would be able to be like Chong Huang, Xia Huang, Gu Huang, Yan Xing He, Shariputta and the others back then, creating a new kind of top notch elixir.
However, they had never imagined that this day would come so soon.
Although he had successfully achieved the Primordial Soul Realm, his Divine Sense and Dharma Power far surpassed cultivators of the same realm, and his talent in alchemy was outstanding, Xiao Yan was still very young compared to the other seniors.
Compared to the age when Gu Huang and the others created top elixirs like the Longevity Elixir, the current Xiao Yan was probably not even a fraction of their age.
In Xiao Yan's long life in the future, how many new achievements he will have is something that no one can predict.
While the possibility of Xiao Yan falling to the Dao did exist, with Xuanmen Tianzong and his current momentum, it was not something that could be done by an ordinary person.
When they thought of the Thirty-Three Heavens Fortune Immortal Pill that had suddenly appeared with Lin Feng, Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai couldn't help but sigh together.
Everyone in the world knew that Xuanmen Tianzong's Dao was profound, like the origin of the Great Dao. There were many treasures in the sect, and its capital was strong. Now, its achievements in alchemy were enough to make the entire human cultivation world look at it.
Gu Yuankai used his spiritual sense and magic power to analyze the Profound Sky Multiverse Golden Elixir in front of him. He asked with interest, "What are the effects of this pill?"
Although Gu Yuankai had been more inclined towards the Taixu Temple before, after the war between the two realms that had just ended, his attitude had begun to change.
He was obsessed with the art of alchemy, so when he saw a brand new top-notch spirit pill that was comparable to his Longevity Pill and Treasure Lotus Pill, his interest was piqued.
Xiao Yan smiled. "If you want to consume this pill, it can also be used. When combined with the Treasure Lotus Pill, it will be even more wondrous."
Gu Yuankai's gaze flickered. "Oh?"
The two top-notch spirit pills passed down by the ancient emperor were the Longevity Pill and the Treasure Lotus Pill. The former was only effective for cultivators below the Primordial Divinity stage, but its effects could be said to be heaven-defying.
As everyone in the Divine Land knew, cultivators in the Golden Elixir Period could only live for a thousand years. Although cultivators in the Yuanying stage could live longer, once the 3,600 years limit was up, if they couldn't attain the Primordial Divinity stage, they could only return to dust and return to dust.
However, the ancient emperor's Longevity Pill could extend the lifespan of cultivators below the Primordial Divinity stage!
Depending on the specific situation of the person who consumed it, the extended lifespan was also different. However, the longest recorded person's lifespan could be extended by a thousand years.
For cultivators in the Yuanying stage who only had a lifespan of 3,600 years, this was undoubtedly a great extension.
Perhaps because of this extended lifespan, cultivators who were supposed to reach the end of their lives could successfully break through the bottleneck of the Primordial Divinity stage and achieve great freedom.
A single pill could mean two completely different fates.
Although it had no other effects, this effect alone was enough to make the Longevity Pill one of the top-notch spirit pills.
However, it was not easy to refine the Longevity Pill, and there were many restrictions. Even within the ancient emperor's bloodline, they were unable to produce it on a large scale. The number of pills was always limited, and there were even gaps in history.
Compared to the Longevity Pill, the other top-notch spirit pill, the Treasure Lotus Pill, was not as famous. This was because this pill was similar to the Golden Elixir of the Taixu Temple. Its main purpose was to help the descendants of the ancient emperor cultivate the Primordial Divinity Technique of Longevity.
Those who consumed the Treasure Lotus Pill could greatly assist them in cultivating the Primordial Divinity Technique of Longevity. Not only was it convenient for their daily cultivation, but it was also convenient for them to comprehend the Dao and break through bottlenecks.
Aside from this main effect, the Treasured Lotus Pill also had other effects. For those who did not cultivate the Primordial Way of Longevity, it was also useful. However, it was not as famous as the Golden Elixir of the Divine Arrival Great Path. In this aspect, it was the same as the Golden Elixir of the Primordial Way.
For the aboriginals, it was naturally better to consume the Treasure Lotus Pill as soon as possible. However, it would still take effect even if it was consumed later.
However, Gu Yuankai had naturally consumed it a long time ago.
Now that Xiao Yan mentioned that the Mysterious Sky Golden Elixir was equally effective for Gu Yuankai, who was already in the Dao Integration Realm, and it could be used together with the Treasure Lotus Pill, Gu Yuankai thought about it and immediately understood. "Is it similar to the Supreme Treasure Wisdom Pill, which is beneficial for comprehending the Dao?"
"That's right. This is one of the effects of this pill." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. One of the main ingredients of the Mysterious Sky Golden Elixir was the Cloud Forest Fruit that grew from the Cloud Forest Tree.
Logically speaking, using the Ginseng Fruit as the main ingredient like the Supreme Treasure Wisdom Pill would have a better effect. However, after Xiao Yan tried to adjust it, even if he used the Cloud Forest Fruit as the main ingredient, it would still have a huge effect.
One of the main effects of the Mysterious Sky Golden Elixir was to make one's mind more agile, which would make it easier for one to communicate and comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Both Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai knew that there were Cloud Forest Trees in Xuanmen Tianzong. However, even so, they still clicked their tongues in wonder. Xiao Yan was like a clever housewife who couldn't cook a meal without rice, yet he still managed to make a table full of good dishes.
After pondering for a while, Gu Yuankai continued to ask Xiao Yan, "One of the effects … Is there another?"
Xiao Yan smiled. "You won't be able to use the other main effect. Even cultivators in the Yuanying and Golden Elixir periods won't be able to use it. Even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, only those in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment period will be able to use it."
When Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai heard this, they didn't look down on him. Instead, their expressions became serious.
After the two of them looked at each other, Gu Yuankai didn't say anything this time. Instead, Gu Jun asked, "From what you're saying, could it be related to building a Spirit Platform?"
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. "That's right. Although I'm not 100% sure, this pill can increase the grade of a cultivator's Spirit Platform by one level.
"The lower the grade of the Spirit Platform, the higher the chance of success. Below grade three, there's a 100% chance of success.
"Apart from not being able to upgrade a grade one Spirit Platform to a supreme Spirit Platform, it's possible to upgrade a grade three Spirit Platform to grade two, grade two to grade one, and the chances are very high."
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai were silent for a while.
After the Golden Elixir period, the direct impact of one's innate aptitude on cultivators would gradually weaken. But why did people attach so much importance to innate aptitude?
Apart from being convenient for testing, the most important point was that building a Spirit Platform and condensing a pill cauldron during the Foundation Establishment period would largely determine one's future achievements and heights.
Although the direct impact would weaken, the foundation laid before would have an extremely far-reaching impact.
A ninth grade Spirit Platform and a ninth grade pill cauldron meant that there was no hope of directly forming a Core.
After forming a Yellow Core, not to mention the Yuanying period, even passing the tribulation of attracting fire and reaching the middle stage of the Golden Elixir period was an extravagant hope.
For a Jade Core cultivator, the middle stage of the Golden Elixir period was most likely their final destination. Only those with great luck would be able to pass the Yin Wind tribulation and reach the late stage of the Golden Elixir period. As for the Yuanying period, they didn't even need to think about it.
To break through to the Yuanying period, one would need at least a third or fourth grade Spirit Platform pill cauldron to form a Vermillion Core. However, it was extremely difficult for a Vermillion Core cultivator to pass the Void Thunder Tribulation and successfully form a Nascent Soul.
To form the best Purple Core, only a first or second grade Spirit Platform pill cauldron would have any hope.
Xuanmen Tianzong's Book of Dao and Virtue was a direct inheritance of the Eight Trigrams Scripture of the Great Way. As long as one succeeded in cultivating it, they could obtain a first grade Spirit Platform. It could be said to be an unprecedented feat.
However, there was a prerequisite, and that was that one had to succeed in cultivating it.
It was not without reason that Xuanmen Tianzong had a high threshold for accepting disciples.
Up until now, only when Wang Lin's foundation and physique had not changed qualitatively was he able to rely on his great comprehension and willpower to forcibly establish a fourth grade Spirit Platform using the Book of Dao and Virtue.
However, before the Spirit Platform had truly been established, it was interrupted by Lin Feng's intervention, causing Wang Lin to fall back to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He didn't want Wang Lin to be overly hasty, which would cause his future cultivation to become increasingly difficult and narrow until it was cut off midway.
For some people, the improvement of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment could have the effect of reversing their fate.
When Xiao Yan was trying to figure out the Mysterious Sky Myriad Wonders Golden Elixir, he added a leaf from the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree as one of the main ingredients.
A leaf from the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree alone had the effect of improving the grade of the Spirit Platform. Back then, Yue Hongyan, Wang Lin, Yang Qing, and the others had all benefited from it. However, this effect was not stable. Rather than saying it was an improvement, it was more like giving people more opportunities. The main thing still depended on the cultivator themselves.
However, after Xiao Yan had continuously ground it and smelted it into the Mysterious Sky Myriad Wonders Golden Elixir, this profound effect had become an almost stable improvement.
With such an effect, in addition to the effect of improving one's comprehension, it could be said that the Mysterious Sky Myriad Wonders Golden Elixir lived up to its name.
After a moment of silence, Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai both sighed. Gu Jun turned to look at Lin Feng and said with a sigh, "Your sect's Dao of alchemy has already surpassed countless predecessors. We are truly ashamed to have inherited the shadow of our ancestors."
Gu Yuankai looked at Xiao Yan and said solemnly, "Other than your teacher, you can be called the number one alchemist in the Divine Land. Even if the Tiansheng Daoist of the Taixu Temple is still alive, when he created the Great Dao of Divine Arrival Golden Elixir, the time he had cultivated and immersed himself in the Dao of alchemy was much longer than yours.
"If the last Pill Gathering could not be established, then now that the Mysterious Sky Myriad Wonders Golden Elixir has appeared, there is no longer any dispute."
