Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 327 - 291: Peach Festival, Mingxing Peak Presents Elixirs_2
Zhengyang exchanged a few words with Song Lin, and the two parted ways.
"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Chaoyuan..."
Song Lin pondered Zhengyang’s line of thought.
Indeed, if Essence, Qi, and Spirit can be elevated to the ultimate level, why can’t the five Qi of the five viscera?
This was a good concept.
Over the past hundreds of years, Song Lin and his companions intended to explore this new path.
Of course, the Outer Pill Technique couldn’t be abandoned.
In this world, Song Lin had decided to take the path of using Outer Pill techniques to aid immortal cultivation.
The Sixth-Transformation Qi Storage Pill had about two hundred times the medicinal potency.
If it were a Ninth-Transformation Golden Pill, it might allow the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top to be achieved within three years.
But, of course, Ninth-Transformation Golden Pills were incredibly difficult.
Even Golden Cauldron True Man had not reached the Nine-Transformation Realm.
Song Lin’s current strength lay at the level of Sixth-Transformation Golden Pill, but each transformation from here on might take hundreds or even thousands of years.
Aside from alchemy techniques, he would also need to collect more pill recipes to use in the real world.
The 172nd year of Journey to the West.
The year passed peacefully, with regular cultivation continuing.
Huaguang Heavenly King reported that divine light surged in the lower realms, hinting at a treasure’s emergence, but those sent by the Jade Emperor returned empty-handed.
The 173rd year of Journey to the West.
Song Lin met the Ghost Mother, a dignified lady holding a boy in red clothing.
The Queen Mother seemed dissatisfied with the Ghost Mother.
The Ghost Mother, with her divine authority over fertility, was highly revered in the mortal world, even overshadowing the Queen Mother somewhat.
The 173rd year of Journey to the West.
Less than seven years remained until the Peach Festival.
Song Lin focused on conserving and refining his energy.
Erlang God and his army trained day and night.
The Three Great Heavenly Masters controlled the South Heavenly Gate; and since they were guarding, they planned to showcase a grand scheme to the Jade Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court remained filled with revelry, unaware of the looming crisis.
...
In the real world, within the World in the Pot.
Inside the Longevity Palace, the furnace burned fiercely, and a unique fragrance filled the air.
The entire World in the Pot subtly emanated this distinctive scent.
The Divine Dragons coiled around the surroundings opened their eyes and took deep breaths, as if the mere inhalation of this air could make them ascend to immortality on the spot.
Boom!
The lid of the pill furnace shot into the air, and a Golden Pill radiating golden glow flew out.
Song Lin grabbed it at once.
The pill was perfectly round and flawless, like a pure golden pellet.
A cloud pattern adorned its surface, indicating it was a First-Transformation Golden Pill.
"It wasn’t easy!"
Song Lin let out a sigh of relief.
First-Transformation Golden Pills weren’t so easily refined.
He was well aware of the significant loss that occurred during the alchemy process.
If the Golden Pill is reverted and refined again, it actually loses its medicinal potency.
The so-called Rejuvenation Pill defies heaven’s natural laws, working against reason and turning the decayed into the miraculous.
Even the crudest pill recipe, when subjected to nine transformations, could yield a Divine Pill.
The Path of Rejuvenation was exceedingly difficult.
If it weren’t for Golden Cauldron True Man’s influence and the texts *Yuan Shi Venerable’s Pill Refinement* and *Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Secret Technique*...
It would’ve been impossible to recreate such results even with the methods explicitly outlined.
"I suppose this can be considered stepping into the hall of mastery."
Song Lin thought to himself. He then swallowed a Qi Storage Pill, spending three full hours to absorb it.

Breaking through a four-hundred-year Taoist Realm truly did proceed faster with pills.
Not to mention reaching Sixth-Transformation Golden Pill cultivation in the story world. If Song Lin could replicate Three-Transformation Golden Pill strength...
He was confident he could achieve his second flower within a decade.
After finishing his cultivation, Song Lin stepped out of the Longevity Palace.
As soon as he walked outside, he was greeted by three massive dragon heads eagerly watching him.
"Want to eat pills?" Song Lin chuckled.
The three dragons nodded, drooling profusely.
"Next time, next time," he said.
But this gave Song Lin an idea.
Perhaps Dragon Nourishment Pills could be modified for high-tier uses.
The same concept might apply to other materials as well.
Song Lin flew toward Mingxing Peak.
He planned to inquire about a Pill Master.
A few days ago, Shi Yinhua mentioned that Wu Qingxuan was undergoing a tribulation. It was the perfect time for a visit.
At that moment, thick tribulation clouds gathered over Purple Cloud Peak, with lightning serpents coiling across thousands of miles.
Countless birds and beasts perished by the roadside, scared to death by the aura alone.
Purple Cloud Peak was where Wu Qingxuan resided.
If Wu Qingxuan succeeded in crossing her Heavenly Tribulation, the Taoist School would gain another Thunder Tribulation Master.
Breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation to the Primordial Spirit stage would mean another Heavenly Master-level figure for the Taoist School.
This was of immense significance to the Taoist School.
Apart from Zhi Xin’s secret technique, the Heavenly Masters had also lent numerous treasures for aid.
It was an effort involving the majority of the Taoist School’s resources.
Everyone believed she was certain to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.
Once this was done, advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage would be straightforward.
Mingxing Peak.
Zhi Xin sat drinking with Disha and Tiansha.
The two were among the few people in the Taoist School who had a close relationship with Zhi Xin.
The three had entered the sect at the same time, and now, a thousand years later, each held high-ranking positions.
One was the head of the Blessed Land Spirit Prohibition Department, and the other was the head of the Black Prison Prefecture.
As for Zhi Xin, there was no need to elaborate—he held the high-ranking position of Heavenly Mechanism Minister, one of the top five figures in the Taoist School.
Disha downed his wine in one gulp, looking at Zhi Xin’s graying hair with a sigh:
"Brother Zhi Xin, take care of yourself. You’re not in great shape right now."
"I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll rest after this period passes," Zhi Xin replied with a smile.
The second Heaven-defying Fate attempt had taken a far greater toll than anticipated.
The Heavenly Mechanism Minister’s duties were almost entirely handed over to the Taiji Left Official.
The Heavenly Masters understood this and didn’t make Zhi Xin resign but instead found others to help manage affairs.
Recently, he had actually found some leisure time.
Whoosh!
A tunneling light approached rapidly, and Song Lin landed atop the mountain.
"You’ve arrived?" Zhi Xin looked toward Song Lin.
"Yes, greetings to the three seniors," Song Lin greeted politely.
"The situation in Donghua Jungle isn’t looking good lately. Do you have any solutions? Zhi Xin can’t assist you anymore," Disha teased, actually speaking on Zhi Xin’s behalf, not wanting Zhi Xin to continue stressing himself.
Zhi Xin’s primary focus shouldn’t be these trivial matters but finding a serene place to recuperate for several centuries.
"Of course not; how could I trouble Senior Zhi Xin?"
"Oh? Then what solution do you have?" Disha asked with interest.
The taller Tiansha also turned his gaze toward Song Lin.
"It’s simple—become a Pill Master," Song Lin replied confidently, clasping his hands and bowing to the group before sitting beside Zhi Xin.
"Hmm? You want to become a Pill Master? Do you have what it takes? Just relying on a few Taoist Skills written by Zhi Xin isn’t enough. You should focus on cultivating for a few hundred more years first," Disha said, pouring cold water on the idea.
"Not at all. The path I rely on is Alchemy Dao. Please see this, Grandmaster," Song Lin said, taking out a jade box and handing it to Zhi Xin.
"I heard that Senior hasn’t been feeling well, so I personally refined this pill to help nourish your health." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Not bad; a commendable mindset. However, Zhi Xin’s Primordial Energy can’t be restored with ordinary pills..."
At this moment, Zhi Xin opened the box.
The unique fragrance wafted out, and the medicinal energy spread, making one feel instantly refreshed.
All three of them were stunned.
"Such strong medicinal potency..."
Zhi Xin hadn’t expected that a seemingly ordinary pill could contain such immense medicinal energy.
Taking this pill might actually have some positive effects.
"You refined this?" Zhi Xin asked.
"Of course."
"Then... you do indeed have a chance to compete."
Song Lin had no reason to lie, especially with such a shallow fabrication, so it must be true. Disha had no choice but to admit that Song Lin indeed had potential.
Disha originally wanted to ask where Song Lin had learned his Alchemy Dao but reconsidered, reasoning that even Zhi Xin hadn’t inquired, so why should he?
"Very well. The other side is aggressive—let them witness your abilities!"
"And... thank you for the pill," Zhi Xin said with a smile, deeply gratified within.
