Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 334 - 294 Human Education Pure Yang, Donghua Hidden Lineage

Zhi Xin’s mood gradually calmed down. He had already understood everything about the situation.

Logically speaking, he should be furious, yet his heart remained unshaken.

As the saying goes, the truly enraged show no outward emotion.

Zhi Xin was now in such a state.

The more critical the moment, the less he could reveal any flaws.

With this thought, he continued his seclusion to recuperate.

Since he had uncovered the matter, he would not tolerate it any longer. The Heavenly Master would soon face his most brutal retaliation.

...

The Story’s World.

In the World in the Pot, there appeared a golden figure.

A faint golden glow emanated from Song Lin’s body, making him look like a small golden statue.

"Taoist Realm progressed 500 years."

Song Lin thought to himself, the Nine-Transformation Golden Body Technique had also reached the Second-Transformation Realm.

He raised his hand and looked at his golden palm, transforming it into a dagger, then lightly traced a line on his palm.

Zi la!

A metallic sound rang out as the Dragon Scale Dagger, a top-rank spiritual artifact, failed to leave even the slightest scratch.

"What a powerful dharma body!"

Song Lin exclaimed in astonishment.

The power of a top-rank spiritual artifact equated to a strike from someone at the Early-stage of Core Formation.

This meant that even if multiple Early-stage Core Formation cultivators attacked him at full strength, his body would remain unscathed.

However, he had consumed 300 pills in the process.

No wonder the Buddhist Sect did not kill the Heavenly Great Saint; it was simply impossible.

At the level of the Heavenly Great Saint with a Nine-Transformation Golden Body, suppression was the only option unless the opponent had far, far superior cultivation.

"This physique is still insufficient,"

Song Lin lamented.

Five hundred pills would have been enough for Sun Wukong to reach the Nine-Transformation Realm; he had used 300 just to barely achieve the Second-Transformation.

Moreover, progressing further in the Nine-Transformation Golden Body became increasingly difficult as one advanced.

Without using any pills or external assistance,

The First Transformation would take a year, the Second Transformation a hundred years, the Third Transformation a thousand years, the Fourth Transformation ten thousand years, the Fifth Transformation a hundred thousand years, the Sixth Transformation a million years, the Seventh Transformation ten million years, and the Eighth Transformation a hundred million years.

The Ninth Transformation was rare and depended on individual talent.

Of course, no one foolishly avoided external assistance.

The Nine-Transformation Golden Body technique itself was modeled after alchemy,

emphasizing external power and control of timing.

This was why Song Lin managed to reach the Second Transformation in just over a decade.

He stood up and walked toward the Supreme Elder’s Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The yellow flame within the furnace was the renowned Six Ding Divine Fire.

Another characteristic of the Nine-Transformation Golden Body was that the stronger the external materials used to temper the body, the faster the cultivation speed.

As long as one could endure intense pain, the faster the cultivation progress would be.

Song Lin dared to enter the Supreme Elder’s Eight Trigrams Furnace only after reaching the Second Transformation.

The furnace was one zhang tall, and its flames roared fiercely.

Unlike a typical alchemy furnace, its fire burned in the belly, never extinguishing, and could only be observed through a fist-sized fire eye.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace earned its name because its interior contained eight positions corresponding to Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, forming an alchemy formation.

This furnace was an Innate Spiritual Treasure, embodying the principle of "Creation."

Though not a combat-focused Magic Treasure, it boasted the ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Additionally, it greatly facilitated artifact refining and alchemy.

For instance, it could upgrade the grade of pills.

Pills were categorized into Ordinary Pills, Spirit Pills, Treasure Pills, Immortal Pills, Golden Pills, and so on.

Most pills belonged to the Ordinary category, with slightly higher quality ones classified as Spirit Pills.

The Alchemists of the Holy Might Taoist School mostly operated at this level.

If Song Lin could refine Treasure Pill-grade pills, he would effortlessly surpass the Alchemists of the Holy Might Taoist School.

The pill recipes taught by Golden Cauldron True Man were mostly for Spirit Pills.

The pills he obtained from the Old Lord Hall were Treasure Pills, with fewer than ten Immortal Pills.

But that was understandable—Lord Lao Zi had been absent for so long that the Immortal Pills had likely been consumed long ago.

The most powerful aspect of the Eight Trigrams Furnace was its ability to alter the nature of substances.

For example, a Spirit Pill-grade Qi Storage Pill could be refined into a Treasure Pill or other pills of a higher grade.

Thus, the Nine-Transformation Golden Body technique required cultivation within the furnace to progress rapidly, akin to refining Golden Pills.

Before jumping into the alchemy furnace, Song Lin set aside 600 pills and 30 Flat Peaches, feeding them to three Divine Dragons.

The current cultivation level of the three Divine Dragons was Golden Core Peak, and their bodies were 500 zhang in length.

These pills were enough for them to ascend to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Song Lin entered the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and as soon as he did, a wave of searing heat almost burned him to a crisp.

"Not good!" Song Lin muttered to himself.

The Second-Transformation Golden Body was far from capable of withstanding these flames.

However, Sun Wukong had not endured them outright either but had instead found a specific position.

Song Lin surveyed his surroundings and saw that within the fiery red world, eight sky-supporting pillars spouted flames.

Yet one position emitted not fire, but fierce winds that blew away both flames and black smoke.

"This is the spot!"

Song Lin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly hid within.

This spot was known as the Xun Position.

From then on, Song Lin focused on tempering his dharma body within the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The speed at which the pills were digested increased manifold.

More than 4,000 pills, which would have taken two to three hundred years to consume,

were swiftly refined by the Eight Trigrams Furnace, accelerating the absorption of the Golden Core medicine power and hastening cultivation progress.
