Chapter 324: Xiantian Dao Body

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“A golden pill was swallowed into my stomach, only then can I plant a golden lotus!”

“Why gold?”

“Because true gold fears no fire!”

The meaning of Gold wasn’t as simple as the word itself. In cultivation, it represented chaos as one, something that was indestructible and would never decay or decompose.

The golden pill of Daoism, the golden body of Buddhism...everything was the same!

Since a golden pill could be concocted, the fire needed to refine it naturally wasn’t the mortal fire.

It was the true fire!

No matter how mortal fire changed, the only difference would be its temperature, rising up or going down. It didn’t have the other mythical properties of a true fire.

There was the Constellation True Fire: The radiance of the stars gathered together like flames, capable of baptizing the myriad of creatures and restoring their original forms.

There was the Earthfiend True Fire: It contained a bitter chill, while its flames were like the candle, capable of refining the myriad of treasures and enhancing one’s killing prowess.

There was the Nine-revolutions Thunderfire: The vast and natural heavenly might: lightning for baptism, fire for destruction. All impurities would be expelled, becoming as pure as ceramic glaze.

...

True fire had the form of fire, the nature of fire, and the energy of heaven and earth within them. This was what was meant by the word ‘true’.

Different true fire naturally had different abilities. However, each true fire was born from the essence of heaven and earth and they were all extremely rare.

Only true fire could refine an immortal pill!

If he just used mortal fire in the refinement, Feng Lin discovered that he had no way to merge the medicinal properties into one; he wasn’t able to concoct the pill.

After completely cleaning the remnants of medicine in his furnace, he silently began to ponder.

This was truly an area which he had always neglected.

Crystallized potion was after all the most elementary form of alchemy. There was no need for such precise control of fire.

But when it came to true alchemy, mortal fire was clearly insufficient.

Without the aid of a true fire, the medicinal effects wouldn’t be able to fuse into one and become an alchemy pill.

Although he knew the concoction method of the Dustfall Immortal Pill, he wouldn’t be able to get anywhere without the proper equipment.

Without a true fire, even if he knew and understood all the procedures, he couldn’t concoct the pill.

But he wasn’t prepared to give up so easily.

If he failed to refine the pill or wasn’t able to send back the remaining ingredients, it would be hard for him to explain.

Even if Zhao Yue`e and the others didn’t make things difficult for him, Feng Lin wouldn’t be able to continue working with them or entering the mythological secret realm for exploration.

This wasn’t something Feng Lin wanted to happen.

Even if he couldn’t refine an immortal pill, it would still be okay if he managed to refine a semi-finished product.

The Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique was a technique that combined the unique point of potion concoction and alchemy together. It wasn’t able to exceed alchemy, but it would be more exceptional compared to potion concoction.

Upon thinking about this critical point, Feng Lin had a new line of thought.

If he wanted to simplify the Dustfall Immortal Pill, it was complex to think about it but easy to speak of it. The essence of this was four words. “Water refinement, fire evaporation.”

As to what water refinement meant, it was to use genetic medicinal refinement techniques to handle the substances, turning them to potions. After that, fire evaporation meant using the heat to refine and condense them to the form of a crystal body.

In this case, this naturally wouldn’t be the same as alchemy where the medicinal potency would be completely concentrated; some medicinal potency would surely be lost during the process.

But even if a great amount of medicinal potency was lost, it could still be considered a semi-finished alchemy product, which was far superior to any other potions.

No matter what, having a semi-finished product was better than having nothing at all!

Although these two steps sounded simple, it wasn’t so easy to accomplish them.

Feng Lin began pondering, his thoughts spun rapidly. After some time, his eyes brightened as he came to a conclusion.

Hua, hua, hua~

A Shooting Star Grass as bright as a star appeared before him. Swish, swish~ A sharp flash of light arced past, rapidly grinding this grass down to powder.

Since he wasn’t able to refine the medicinal potency inside his furnace, he could only use physical means to forcibly crush the ingredients.

Unwithered Epiphyllum, Horned Serpent Sinew, Ten-thousand Year Root...

All the original ingredients were being ground into powder before being mixed into a solution as they fused together.

Many subtle reactions occurred in the solution. The color of it gradually turned amber as a thick medicinal fragrance emitted from it.

Crystallized concoction!

Feng Lin began to operate, using his spirit force to control the strength of the fire. The fire blazed brilliantly, evaporating the liquid solution as the potion began to crystallize.

He inserted his spirit force within, starting to control the convergence of the particles in the microscopic world.

This type of mortal fire could at most forcibly fused the medicinal potency together. It had no way to truly bring out the miraculous effect of a true fire and cause the medicinal potency to undergo many miraculous changes, allowing one to transform completely.

Doing this much was his current limit. He could only do so.

After all, this was an immortal pill. Given his current attainments in cultivation, as well as the fact that he only had the furnace but no true fire to aid him, he wasn’t able to go any further.

Feng Lin retracted his thoughts and began to concentrate.

Even the simplified Dustfall Immortal Pill was extremely complex.

He didn’t have time for distractions; he had to focus completely. He strengthened the fire intensity, forcefully fusing the medicinal properties of the ingredients together.

Gradually, a green jadeite gradually formed. It shone with brilliance and was filled with the aura of life.

With just a sniff, Feng Lin felt that his body was completely refreshed. He didn’t know what would happen if he consumed it.

Just from the luster, the medicinal crystal formed from the simplified Dustfall Immortal Pill was at least of the high-martial perfect-grade. Its medicinal effect should be extremely shocking.

Kacha!

Just when the jadeite was about to form, a loud sound rang out as it cracked apart from the middle, transforming into a pile of powder.

The crystallization of different genetic potions required different methods. It was only to be expected to fail the first time.

Feng Lin wasn’t bothered by it. He continued with his attempts.

Finally, after wasting four portions of ingredients, the remaining six portions were refined into six sparkling jade-green crystals.

He managed to refine six crystals out of ten portions of ingredients, wasn’t the success rate a little too crazy? If this was to circulate out, most probably, many people would start to have greedy thoughts.

Feng Lin kept three crystals for himself, treating them as part of his concoction fee.

He felt no guilt in his heart.

One must know that no one else knew about alchemy. It was basically impossible for others to restore this Dustfall Immortal Pill.

These ingredients would only be wasted if others took them to refine. Now, Feng Lin was still willing to give them three portions. To Zhao Yue`e and the others, this was already considered a surprise.

Human hearts were all greedy.

If he gave them too much, it might actually cause the opposite effect.

He didn’t know what effect the Dustfall Immortal Pill would have.

Feng Lin was also extremely curious.

Since this was an immortal pill, its effects must be extraordinary. Even if it was a simplified version of it, the medicinal effects would be far superior compared to other potions.

Feng Lin swallowed it decisively.

At the next instant, he felt as though a supernova had blown up inside him. The moment the medicinal crystal entered his stomach, it instantly exploded within, transforming into thick currents of warmth that seeped into the depths of his body.

The pores on his entire body opened up, and countless black particles with a fishy smell were expelled.

A light spiritual qi reverberated within his body, like xiantian (prenatal) qi from his mother’s womb. His body that was tainted by his exposure to everything after houtian (post-natal) was now being cleansed, as it finally returned to its original base. His flesh and blood transformed back into a xiantian body, naturally getting closer to the great dao.

In ancient cultivation, this type of body was known as the xiantian dao body. It was extremely suitable for cultivation innately.

Genetic potential +3.6, +3.6, +3.6...

Feng Lin soon received two free transcendent genetic points. He decisively added them to his Beast King Gene.

Vitality stat +10, +12, +12.6...

Due to the power of the xiantian dao body, his vitality stats instantly surged like how the powerful waves of an ocean breaking past the floodgates. The imposing force directly broke through the limit of elite cultivators as it continued to surge upward.

His life information changed.
