Elder Han had never been as happy as he was today. The wrinkles on his old face had all melted away. He was so excited that he danced and laughed.
At this moment, Ye Fan was like an ancient well without any ripples. He focused on opening the Sea of Bitterness and calmed his heart to cultivate.
The sound of waves did not stop, the tsunami shook the sky, and there were even lightning and thunder. The loud sound echoed in the stone room. Elder Han's heart was filled with desire. He hoped that the seven days would pass quickly.
The bronze medicine cauldron was enveloped by the silver flame, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy. The holy light overflowed in all directions, and the entire stone room was hazy.
This continued for more than four hours before the sound of the waves slowly subsided. The deafening thunder also gradually disappeared. The bronze medicine cauldron calmed down, and only the silver flame was burning.
Elder Han was not worried. It would take seven days and seven nights to open the lid of the cauldron. The strange phenomenon could not be accompanied forever. He had already determined that this was a cauldron of supreme-grade spiritual pills, because it was exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient books.
Just like this, a full day and night passed. The medicine cauldron was still very calm. Only the fire spirit was jumping, and the milky white light flickered continuously.
Inside the bronze medicine cauldron, Ye Fan fell into an ethereal state. Only now did he gradually wake up. The golden Sea of Bitterness was opened up again, and it was much bigger. It was as big as an unpeeled lychee. It was golden, like a bright star in the universe had been plucked and fixed in his body.
There were suddenly twenty-seven Divine Marks. They were like divine chains, and also like bolts of lightning, lying across the sky of the Sea of Bitterness. And the most peculiar change was that there were actually ripples in the Sea of Bitterness. Bubbles constantly surged out from the center, and after they burst, they formed a misty fog that shrouded the golden Sea of Bitterness.
Ye Fan opened his eyes and clearly felt the changes in the Sea of Bitterness. There was a vigorous life force appearing in his body. His eyes shot out two beams of divine light. He was not satisfied with this, and he reached out to grab the Green Jade Snow Lotus fruit.
This egg-sized green fruit had a trace of green flowing around it. It was intoxicating. It seemed to be polished from the Green Jade Spirit Marrow. It flowed with a gentle light, crystal clear, and flashed with a green splendor.
The Green Jade Snow Lotus fruit was extremely rare. The mother plant grew on a snowy mountain tens of thousands of meters high, and it could only grow after a thousand years without sunlight. it was surrounded by powerful monsters. It took Elder Han eight years to pick one by luck.
After the fruit entered his hand, Ye Fan felt a bone-chilling coldness. The boiling medicinal liquid did not melt the Green Jade Snow Lotus fruit. He carefully tasted it, like biting an apple. Of course, he was very careful this time and did not make a single sound. Everything was carried out in silence. After all, a day and a night had passed. According to common sense, he should have been cooked thoroughly by now.
The green jade-like fruit tasted sweet and refreshing, but it was as cold as ice. It made Ye Fan's body shiver uncontrollably. The vigorous life force quickly spread to his limbs and meridians.
Finally, beams of green light shrouded Ye Fan. His skin was green like jade, shining with a strange luster. The temperature in the medicine cauldron kept dropping, and the medicinal liquid was no longer boiling.
An hour later, the sound of a tsunami came from the bronze medicine cauldron again. This time, the momentum was even greater. Accompanied by thunder and lightning, the big cauldron was gently shaking.
The entire stone room was rumbling, making Elder Han feel like he was facing a vast and boundless sea of anger. His emotions fluctuated as he muttered to himself, "Another strange phenomenon, the Treasure Dan will be formed!"
Elder Han seemed to become more than ten years younger. He laughed heartily, and his heart was full of expectation. He could not wait for the seven days to pass immediately.
There were tens of thousands of deafening waves. Lightning flashed across the sky, and thunder shook the vault of heaven, causing the stone room to constantly tremble!
"The day the dan is formed will be the day I break through!" Elder Han was in high spirits and was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He felt that with such a great dan in hand, breaking through the bottleneck and going up a few steps wouldn't be a problem.
Inside the bronze medicine cauldron, loud noises shook the sky and strange phenomena appeared. However, only sounds could be heard from the outside. Elder Han could not calm down and continued to walk around the cauldron.
This time, the tsunami and thunder lasted for six hours before it gradually calmed down. The stone room slowly returned to its peaceful state.
"After the medicine cauldron is sealed, it cannot be opened again. I can only wait for seven days …" Elder Han's only regret was that he was too cautious and didn't put all the other rare spiritual medicines inside. Otherwise, more strange phenomena would have appeared, and the "Auspicious Rainbow" mentioned in the ancient books might have come true.
Even so, Elder Han was still confident. He believed that he had firmly grasped onto this great fortune and nothing could change it.
After another day and night, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with divine splendor and his body was full of vitality. The wounds on his limbs and chest had completely disappeared. Not even a scar was left.
Ye Fan's golden sea of bitterness changed again. It expanded by a whole circle. At the center, the ripples were even more violent. Bubbles were like a spring that constantly rushed out. After they burst, they formed a misty mist that completely shrouded that area. This made the sea of bitterness extremely mysterious.
At this moment, Ye Fan was just like Elder Han. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Their feelings right now were exactly the same.
He could not be satisfied with this. He extended his hand and grabbed the Divine Phoenix Grass. It was hot and made people feel waves of divine energy. Legend had it that only pure lands that had been tainted with the divine phoenix's blood could grow such a divine grass. Elder Han had spent more than ten years traveling through countless ancient lands and ruins to find this one. It could be said that it was priceless!
The Nine-leaf Divine Phoenix Grass was as dazzling as red agate. There was a strange fragrance wafting around it. It was refreshing and intoxicating.
Ye Fan put it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, the divine grass turned into a dazzling red glow and rushed into his body. Immediately, his body was shrouded in a mysterious red halo as if there was a red flame burning.
If it was a normal person's body, they would have turned into ashes by now. However, Ye Fan's physique was extremely special. The sea of bitterness was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. All the dazzling red glow was like thousands of streams returning to the sea. In the end, it was all absorbed.
At this moment, his flesh, organs, and bones were incomparably crystal clear. There was no dust or dirt. It was like a beautiful work of art. His skin was also shining with a crystal luster. The power of life was slowly circulating.
When the tsunami and thunder occurred, Elder Han stood up again in shock. He walked around the bronze cauldron and said, "I am indeed blessed by the heavens …"
When Ye Fan woke up again, he found that the golden sea of bitterness had grown, but it had not expanded too much. Because, the further one cultivated, the more difficult it was. The effects of the three types of Spirit Medicines were similar, so the first one was the largest.
After the three rare Spirit Medicines were refined, Ye Fan's sea of bitterness underwent an astonishing change. At the very center, there was a colourful mist rising, and there were countless divine markings. It was as if there was a volcano reviving under the sea of bitterness. Bubbles were gushing out, and there were constantly rays of light rushing out of the sea.
Ye Fan understood this, and did not feel confused.
The cultivators of the Bitter Sea stage had to go through several processes. At first, there was only a small amount of life essence lingering over the sea of bitterness. Over time, the essence would accumulate and condense into divine markings, like a divine iron chain hanging over the sea of bitterness.
As the sea of bitterness continued to expand and the cultivation base deepened, there would be bubbles gushing out, and when they burst, they would form clouds. Until later, the bubbles under the sea of bitterness were like a spring, like a volcano reviving, clouds rising and diffusing, dazzling.
One day, when the 'volcano' under the sea of bitterness was completely revived, the dazzling clouds would gradually turn into liquid, and at that moment, one could attempt to break through to the Life Spring stage. If successful, there would be a divine spring gushing out from the 'crater'.
The cultivators of the Bitter Sea stage must go through these three processes in order to break through to the Life Spring stage. Ye Fan had experienced the second process today. At the center of the golden sea of bitterness, it was almost boiling, qi was gushing out like a spring, clouds were rising, like a volcano was reviving, constantly erupting, extremely dazzling.
"If I refine all the rare Spirit Medicines that Elder Han collected, find a place to cultivate, and carefully comprehend the Dao scriptures, maybe I can break through to the Life Spring stage in one or two years..." Ye Fan said to himself. He faintly had a kind of expectation.
However, he must first get rid of the danger in front of him and save his own life, otherwise everything was just a dream.
After Ye Fan completely refined the three Spirit Medicines, he did not act rashly. He was quietly waiting for an opportunity. Three days had already passed, and he still had to wait for four more days before he could open the cauldron.
The liquid inside the cauldron could be used to extract the Hundred Grass Liquid. There was half a cauldron, and although it could not compare to the Nine Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass and other Spirit Medicines, it still contained a large amount of life essence. It was still early, and Ye Fan naturally would not let it go. He quietly meditated, absorbing the essence into his body.
Two days later, Elder Han felt a little strange, because there was no more strange phenomenon, and the fragrance from the cauldron became fainter and fainter. In the end, there was almost no fragrance at all.
"What's going on..." He was somewhat suspicious, and finally seemed to have thought of something. He said to himself, "Could it be that the Precious Dan has just formed, and the essence is restrained?"
"That's right, it must be like this! Legend has it that when a Precious Dan is about to form, all the essence is restrained, and not a shred of fragrance will leak out. Not a single medicinal effect will be wasted. " Elder Han was very excited, and he said, "Now I can be sure that I have successfully refined the legendary Precious Dan!"
In these two days, Ye Fan had completely absorbed the essence within the medicinal liquid. His Sea of Bitterness surged like a spring, and clouds rose like an awakened volcano. It could be said that he was surrounded by multicolored light, dense spiritual energy, and a misty colorful mist.
Calculating the time, there were still two more days before he could open the cauldron. Ye Fan was very calm, and he quietly waited for an opportunity. He began to refine the spiritual energy contained within the "Evil Fire". Specks of silver light continuously rushed into his body.
Time passed very quickly, and two days flew by in the blink of an eye. Elder Han could not stop laughing, and he was about to open the cauldron to take out the "Precious Dan".
"Little bastard, you can only blame yourself for eating the legendary Holy Fruit and Heavenly Spring. In your next life, go to a good family. In this life, you are destined to help me."
