Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age-Chapter 308 - 277: Flawless Golden Pill_1
Chapter 308: Chapter 277: Flawless Golden Pill_1
Xu Mu stepped into Li Youlan’s dedicated cultivation chamber, where the spiritual energy was so dense it was nearly liquid. With a mere inhalation, he could feel it flooding into his body. The walls were inscribed with layers of defensive arrays by an Array Master, which could withstand the attacks of over a dozen Golden Core Stage cultivators once activated.
Both safety and cultivation environment were top-notch.
However, Xu Mu, always cautious, naturally would not fully trust others. He retrieved the formation-setting magic artifacts he carried and set up several tier seven and eight formations before he was satisfied.
These formations included ones for warnings, defense, and attacking; even in the face of a Nascent Soul Stage, these formations could buy him time to react.
With everything ready, Xu Mu then meditated, elevating his spirit and energy to peak condition before beginning to breach his realm.
A golden Sin Refining Pill appeared in his hand, which he promptly swallowed without hesitation.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a cool sensation spread through his chest and surged toward the heavenly spirit point between his eyebrows.
This was where the reservoir of divine consciousness resided!
As this cool wave flowed in, Xu Mu instantly felt much more clear-headed – as if he had slept soundly and woken refreshed, his spirit brimming with energy.
His soul consciousness and Divine Intent had grown, enhancing his control over his body and Spiritual Power.
One pill for a normal breakthrough would be impressive, but Xu Mu, with hundreds at his disposal, didn’t mind the cost. He took out another pill and ingested it.
After repeating this process for ten pills, he felt as if his consciousness sea would burst when he swallowed the eleventh pill.
Xu Mu realized that eleven Sin Refining Pills was his limit. Sin Refining Pills were not for cultivation, but for temporarily boosting soul power aiding breakthroughs. There existed a limit to their use. Any excess consumption would be harmful rather than beneficial.
“This feeling is really extraordinary!”
At this moment, Xu Mu felt his Divine Intent becoming incredibly powerful, several times stronger than before.
Under such conditions, his control over his spiritual strength reached near perfection; for each unit of spiritual power, he could unleash tenfold its potential.
“Phew!”
Adjusting to his body’s state, Xu Mu exhaled a foul breath and proceeded with his breakthrough.
The fire-attributed spiritual power within his body turned rapidly under his control in the meridians, absorbing the nearly liquid spiritual energy of the cultivation room.
“Almost there!”
After his body’s spiritual power reached its limit, it converged toward his Dantian, where a vortex formed. In its center emerged a strand of golden flame.
Rumble!
It was as if a river coursed through his body. The cultivation room’s spiritual energy madly rushed into his physique.
In the Dantian, the golden flame grew larger, quickly becoming a blazing torch.
Xu Mu summoned his Lifebound Golden Pill, carefully immersing it in the golden flame.
The golden flame was the Lifebound True Flame that every cultivator possessed. It could not only be used for Alchemy and artifact refining but was also an essential part in advancing to the Golden Core Stage.
Due to the increase in Divine Intent and mastering the Great Sun Refining Shape Skill, Xu Mu found it quite handy to control this entire process. Ordinary cultivators would often proceed meticulously and cautiously to avoid any disastrous mistakes.
Upon immersion in the golden flame, the Golden Pill rapidly softened and swelled up. As it was stimulated by the energy, it drastically increased the speed of spiritual energy absorption into Xu Mu’s body.
Hum!
The engraved Gathering Spirit runes in the cultivation room lit up one after another, continuously extracting nature’s spiritual energy from outside to compensate for the internal consumption.
A large amount of middle-grade spirit stones embedded in this cultivation room were drained of their spiritual energy specifically for times like this. They turned into pure spiritual power, flowing into Xu Mu’s body.
With his powerful divine intent and solid foundation, his advancement proceeded smoothly. As soon as the Golden Pill finished refining, his breakthrough would be complete.
The two lifebound magic artifacts within his body flew towards him, using the breakthrough process to refine their Benyuan essence, aiming for early completion and advancement.
These two magic artifacts were created not long ago and were still in the lower-grade of tier seven, far from suited to his status.
“Hmm?”
During this transition process, the God Refining Tripod, which had rested quietly in the Dantian, suddenly opened its lid on its own, swallowing the Golden Pill with the True Flame in a beam of golden light.
“I’m in the middle of a breakthrough! If something goes awry, I will lose my life and my cultivation path. You better not ruin anything!”
The sudden event startled Xu Mu. Fortunately, he managed to remain collected and quickly remained focused on the condition of the Golden Pill.
It was a relief that he didn’t lose contact with the Golden Pill; he could still sense its aura’s continuous increase.
“Wait, that’s strange! I was on the verge of completing my breakthrough, but how can my aura still be surging?”
Upon close inspection, Xu Mu noticed a significant increase in the True Flame’s temperature after it flowed into the God Refining Tripod. The previously softened Golden Pill directly melted into a fluid substance. Strands of black impurities were refined out, leaving it translucent and flawless, emitting a faint reddish hue.
“Red Gold? Isn’t that a level reachable only by Golden Core perfectionists?!!”
Xu Mu was shocked to see the results generated by the Tripod.
In a typical Golden Core Stage breakthrough, most cultivators can only use True Flame to slightly refine the impurities and enhance their Benyuan essence.
But with the God Refining Tripod now, it was as though he was remolding his Golden Pill, directly reaching a flawless state of perfection.
With sufficient spiritual power ready in the future, breakthroughs to the eighth or ninth stage would be a breeze.
“As expected of a Heavenly Spirit Treasure! It can even aid in breakthroughs. This is truly a great bargain.” freёnovelkiss.com
Xu Mu was elated.
With the help of the God Refining Tripod, he completed the advancement of his Golden Pill with almost no effort from his side.
If he knew earlier that the God Refining Tripod had this effect, he wouldn’t have needed to take the Sin Refining Pills.
“Now, I’ve wasted ten Sin Refining Pills unnecessarily. What a shame.”
Xu Mu muttered regretfully.
If he had given the ten Sin Refining Pills to his family, it would have advanced them through several minor realms.
“Wait, why not put my lifebound magic artifacts into the tripod for refining too? Maybe it can speed up the nurturing process.”
After the creation of their Lifebound Magic Artifacts, cultivators had to nurture them in their Dantian. Over time, the quality of the artifacts would improve.
Xu Mu’s two Lifebound Magic Artifacts, the Void Bead, and Heaven Phoenix Wing were freshly made. Despite having been nurtured in his Dantian for some time, the duration was too short for a substantial promotion of their level.
Although he could not remove the God Refining Tripod from his Dantian, he still had some level of control over it, at least enough to open the lid.
If something went wrong in the refining process, he could promptly retrieve it.
No sooner said than done, the two lifebound magic artifacts, under his control, flew into the God Refining Tripod one after the other, mingling with the liquid Golden Pill.
Under the pervasion of the Benyuan spiritual power and continuous refinement by the True Flame, the quality of the two magic artifacts began to progressively elevate and their power grew stronger and stronger.
