I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 236 - 234: Viscera Tempering Realm
The next day, Li Xing bid farewell to Ye Qingting, Cui Tianxiao, and Qi Ming, put on a mask, and returned to Datang City.
Li Xing first went home to see Li Yi and Anna. The couple, who had been worried sick, saw their adopted daughter standing before them, unharmed and lively, and their hanging hearts finally settled.
Anna hugged Li Xing, crying and laughing. Li Xing was really afraid she’d disturb the fetus, so she discreetly operated the Eternal Green Technique to transfer some spiritual energy for a peaceful pregnancy. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
After spending a night at home, Li Xing left the couple under the pretense of searching for alchemy materials and ventured deep into the Datang Forest.
Li Xing carved a temporary cave dwelling on a cliff, sealed the entrance with stones, and set up a defensive formation before she felt assured to begin her cultivation.
More than a hundred Waste Crystals surrounded Li Xing. As the Eternal Green Technique operated, Chaos Qi continuously entered her body, circulated, and transformed her physique. At this moment, her skin and bones glowed like jade, and her internal organs were gradually expelling residual toxins.
Five days later, Li Xing "waahed" and spat out a large amount of foul-smelling black water. After expelling the black water, she felt refreshed and relaxed. She released her Divine Sense for internal observation and found her internal organs were spotless and emanating a glow more lustrous than her skin and bones.
Li Xing transformed her Divine Sense into a sword, stabbing her heart with all her strength. Li Xing’s action was akin to playing with fire, but it was the only way she could test her achievements.
With a ding, the Divine Sense Sword struck the center of her heart, the sword instantly shattered and disappeared, and her heart remained intact without feeling any pain.
Li Xing showed a delighted expression; the organ refinement stage was indeed not in vain!
Now she had officially stepped into the threshold of high-level body cultivation. As her cultivation progressed and her power deepened, her internal organs would become increasingly solid and resilient. At the organ refinement Great Perfection stage, as long as a trace of her organ remained, it could regenerate and restore itself.
With her internal organs refined, she now had to consider repairing her Dantian.
Because the spiritual energy and Chaos Qi of the Qianyuan Continent were mixed, she had to find a way to separate them during cultivation, or it would be detrimental to her body.
Li Xing’s shattered Dantian could automatically separate the spiritual energy from the Chaos Qi, undoubtedly saving her a lot of cultivation time.
But the Dantian is the most important organ for a cultivator. Even though body cultivation focuses more on physical training, in the later stages, it’s often necessary to learn advanced spells for offense or defense.
Li Xing now faced two choices: one was to become a pure body cultivator, keeping her Dantian in a shattered state to continue functioning as a separator; the other was to repair her Dantian, and on the foundation of Body Refining, learn more powerful magic techniques, balancing both magic and body cultivation to give herself more leverage.
After much thought, Li Xing felt the latter was better. Ever since encountering the three-eyed strange monster and the transparent creature, Li Xing realized there were many unknown dangers in this world. Truly powerful beings could not be shaken by mere physical attacks.
Although mastering the Eternal Green Technique to perfection could grant immortality, Li Xing had not reached that level yet. If she were to face a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator now, she’d only end up being beaten.
What does a strong flesh body mean, and what does being immensely powerful signify when a single spell from a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator could obliterate her, leaving no body to resurrect? Haha, she’s turned to ash; how could she resurrect?
Having decided, Li Xing began to repair her Dantian. As the Ancient Longevity Technique operated, the remaining energy in the Waste Crystals flowed ceaselessly into her Dantian.
Little Fatty inside the Dantian suddenly floated up, watching in amazement as the dense web-like cracks quickly grew and healed before its eyes.
One day and night later, the last crack on the Dantian healed, a dazzling golden light flickered, and a strong cyclone formed inside the Dantian, madly drawing Spiritual Energy Balls from the air into Li Xing’s body, channeling through the meridians into the Dantian.
With her Dantian repaired, her magic cultivation level returned, and the frantic inflow of spiritual energy signaled the formation of a Golden Core. Li Xing hurriedly operated the Eternal Green Technique to separate the two energies in the Spiritual Energy Balls as quickly as possible.
But the Spiritual Energy Balls entered too quickly as if all the energy in the Datang Forest were converging into Li Xing, surpassing her maximum separation capacity. More and more unseparated Spiritual Energy Balls entered the Dantian, spinning along with the cyclone.
Li Xing was astonished to find that even though her Dantian was restored, the Spiritual Energy Balls could still automatically separate into two types of energy within the Dantian.
The strangest thing was that what should have been a pure Golden Core became a multicolored Golden Core due to the five-colored spiritual energy from the Qianyuan Continent. Meanwhile, the Chaos Qi, enveloping the multicolored balls, condensed into another slightly smaller platinum Golden Core.
Li Xing didn’t know why she formed two Golden Cores, but now wasn’t the time to be puzzled. The Golden Cores weren’t solidified yet and needed a lot of energy to fill them.
So Li Xing deliberately opened her meridians, absorbing energy into her body like a black hole. The two Golden Cores spun faster and faster, while Li Xing’s aura surged.
Soon, both Golden Cores reached the Great Perfection stage. Li Xing seized the opportunity to reinforce the cave’s formation with three extra layers because she noticed that her cultivation wasn’t just increasing but showed signs of Nascent Soul formation!
As expected, the two Golden Cores slowly transformed into two small figures that looked exactly like Li Xing—one full of colorful radiance, the other golden and dazzling. The two figures maintained a meditative posture, floating on the left and right inside the Dantian.
Until the realm of the multicolored Nascent Soul stopped at the initial Great Perfection, and the golden Nascent Soul reached the mid-stage, Li Xing’s aura finally stabilized.
What puzzled Li Xing was that her advancement from Golden Core to Nascent Soul did not trigger a thunder tribulation, which might be related to the incomplete Heavenly Dao of the Qianyuan Continent.
Though she lacked the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering, Li Xing’s body had been reinforced by the Eternal Green Technique, making the loss negligible.
Throughout history, cultivation has been an act against the heavens, and many mighty beings clearly advanced but were annihilated by the Heavenly Dao because they couldn’t withstand the thunder after advancement.
However, Li Xing wasn’t worried, thanks to the Qianyuan Continent being a fragment of the world. Even if she advanced all the way to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the Heavenly Dao here wouldn’t send down a thunder tribulation to trouble her.
Compared to cultivators in other major and minor worlds, Li Xing doesn’t need to prepare any protective magic treasures against thunder, making it overly advantageous for her.
Indeed, this is her land of prosperity!
Little Fatty curiously circled around the two Nascent Souls, occasionally releasing a spark to tease the two "neighbors."
The multicolored Nascent Soul, like an enlightened monk, good-naturedly ignored Little Fatty’s provocations, absorbing the sparks as Fire Spirit. But the golden Nascent Soul, wild and unruly like Chaos Qi, not only reflected the sparks back at Little Fatty but also chased after it.
The Nascent Soul created by Chaos Qi was indestructible, and after being pummeled twice, Little Fatty dared not act rashly again, hiding under the feet of the multicolored Nascent Soul like a little brother seeking protection from a big brother.
Elder Council.
The Purple Demon Pearl suddenly floated into the air, spinning rapidly, and dazzling purple light filled the entire Holy Hall.
Ji Jingtang suddenly awoke from meditation, teleporting to the Holy Hall in an instant, looking at the brightly glowing Purple Demon Pearl in shock.
The other elders also sensed the anomaly of the Purple Demon Pearl and hurried to the hall from their rooms.
"The Savior has appeared!"
"Where?"
Ji Jingtang formed seals with his hands, casting a complex talisman at the Purple Demon Pearl. Enveloped by the talisman, characters gradually appeared in the light above the Purple Demon Pearl.
In her meditation, Li Xing suddenly felt a sensation of being observed. She couldn’t discern the source of the surveillance but knew it was locking onto the aura of her multicolored Nascent Soul.
Although she didn’t sense any malicious intent from the observer, Li Xing nonetheless grew wary, suppressing her multicolored Nascent Soul cautiously.
The glow of the multicolored Nascent Soul disappeared, and the little golden Nascent Soul abruptly opened its eyes, its golden light intensifying and perfectly concealing Li Xing’s magic aura instantly.
Inside the Holy Hall.
Just a second before the Purple Demon Pearl was about to reveal the Savior’s location, the purple light suddenly dispersed, and the Purple Demon Pearl fell back onto the altar, with everything returning to silence.
The elders looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what was happening. After waiting for another half hour, and seeing no further reaction from the Purple Demon Pearl, Ji Jingtang sighed and instructed everyone to disperse.
