“How to add the extra component?” Hearing this, a puzzled look crossed Zhang Dao Xuan’s face.
Lin Yi laughed, saying, “There’s a rumor that exorcising others can bring good luck. I’ve always been fond of exorcising evil spirits. A fellow apprentice recently gifted me a storage bag full of evil spirits, which I haven’t yet had the chance to exorcise. Master, I would be grateful if you could protect me while I do this.”
As he finished speaking, he took out a storage bag and removed twenty jars from inside, arranging all around him.
Seeing these jars, Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, shaking his head, “You really are gullible, but then again, doing good deeds doesn’t come with any harm. So, get started with the exorcism.”
He now found his disciple’s character much more upright than he had imagined, free of the crooked intent he had previously displayed.
Subsequently, Lin Yi let out the evil spirits one by one, half killing them with his Thunder Spell before conducting the exorcism. The evil spirits turned into white shadows, offered him a fist salute and gradually disappeared, with the whole process happening incredibly fast.
Zhang Dao Xuan, watching Lin Yi’s proficient actions, was taken aback. “How many evil spirits has this boy exorcised? His motions are as smooth as flowing water.”
However, the way he beat them up with the Thunder Spell was different from what he had imagined.
After a short while, all twenty-plus black evil spirits had been exorcised, granting Lin Yi more than twenty thousand virtue points. Each one provided about one thousand points. Thanks to his Compassionate Karma title, he was able to gain so much.
Previously, the two dark red evil spirits each offered ten thousand points, which is ten times more than these black ones. But, of course, dark red spirits corresponding to the Golden Core pose greater threats than the black spirits of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Having those extra twenty thousand virtue points should be more than enough for his Golden Core refining.
“Thank you, Master, for your protection,” Lin Yi acknowledged gratefully with a bow.
Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand, “There’s no need for thanks, begin whenever you’re ready.”
“I still have to do a few things,” Lin Yi said sheepishly. Considering this was related to his Golden Core accomplishment, he pulled out a few incense burners and placed them in different directions, then lit some incense to offer his prayers for good luck.
His prayers included figures like the Supreme Lord Lao, the Jade Emperor, and the Tathagata Buddha.
“Who are these people you’re praying to? I haven’t heard of any of them,” Zhang Dao Xuan said, amused at observing Lin Yi’s actions.
Lin Yi glanced at the Pill Immortal Master, abruptly pulling out another incense burner and placed it in front of his master. He began lighting the incense, praying, “May the Pill Immortal Master bless this disciple and help me successfully refine the Golden Core.”
“Are you cursing me? I’m not dead yet!” Zhang Dao Xuan burst into laughter at this spectacle.
He was suddenly reminded of their first meeting in the Secret Realm, where Lin Yi had also prayed to him, seeking the direction of the Alchemy Room. Strangely enough, his prayers had been answered.
“Hehe, my prayer worked last time, so it will definitely work this time too,” Lin Yi chuckled, then waved his hand to start tidying up the Pill Furnace, “Master, I’m ready now, we can get started.”
Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, fighting back laughter at his disciple’s unexpected behaviors.
Collecting his thoughts, he advised, “Start then. While refining spiritual liquid in the initial stage isn’t particularly dangerous, it requires complete focus. Your refining quality will directly affect the quality of the final Golden Core.”
Lin Yi nodded in agreement, then closed his eyes to start refining the spiritual liquid. The first one he chose to refine was the liquid he had only refined for a day.
Although this glob of spiritual liquid was stored inside his Dantian, it still hadn’t merged with the other spiritual liquids. It was bobbing around, being pushed and pulled by the other liquids, akin to seawater.
He suspended this glob of liquid above his Dantian. On his command, a crimson red fire pellet emerged from below, continuing the refinement of the spiritual liquid.
Every title he earned that could help with the Golden Core refining had already been put on him. Among these, the [Face Difficulties Head On] was a passive title that didn’t need to be put on to take effect.
The right time to use the [Little Compassionate Little Benevolent] title would be when he finishes refining all the spiritual liquid in his body, during the final stage of the Solidifying Pill.
The [Expert Alchemist] title would be incredibly beneficial for his current alchemy stage. It could accelerate the speed of alchemy, increase the success rate, and enhance the final quality.
The refinement of one glob of spiritual liquid would take about ten days, so one hundred globs would take over a thousand days – exactly three years. Apart from spiritual liquid, there were other special elements like thunder and lightning and wind in his body that needed to be refined. This was to ensure they met the condition for merging into the Golden Core.
However, according to his past experience, the rewards granted by the titles were excellent for refining alchemy using his fire pellet; he could save some time. He was confident that he could complete his refinement before the next opening of the Heng Yuan Realm Dan God Secret Realm.
He would either succeed in refining the Golden Core, or fail and return, just like the Pill Immortal Master, and then try to condense the Golden Core using normal methods.
While refining, Lin Yi discovered that, ever since his alchemy skills were upgraded to the Spirit Level, all previously encountered difficulties seemed to have disappeared. His entire refining process went pretty smoothly.
After eight days, he managed to fully refine one glob of spiritual liquid. Compared to its previous liquid state, it had now turned into a jelly-like substance.
Counting the day he had initially spent on refining, it took him nine days to refine one spiritual liquid glob – one day sooner than the Pill Immortal Master. For a hundred globs of spiritual liquid, that would save him a hundred days, over three months.
However, this was under normal refining circumstances. Later, he would definitely think of ways to further speed up the process.
Once the spiritual liquid was refined, without any rest, Lin Yi took out another glob of the same size from the remaining spiritual liquid in his body and started refining again.
In this fashion, a year passed. Every nine days, he refined one glob of spiritual liquid. Factoring in minor rests, he managed to refine 35 globs of spiritual liquid in that year, and he was now very familiar with refining spiritual liquid.
However, refining the spiritual liquid did not give a single point of experience to his Spirit Level Alchemy Art.
This was within his expectations as refining spiritual liquid was akin to refining material in a Pill Furnace. Perhaps, finalizing the Golden Core might increase his experience.
