Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 268 The Real Immortal Yuan Pill
The calendar in the world of cultivation is often set according to the last person who achieved immortality.
For example, the last immortal was Lord Hengyang, so the calendar at that time was the Hengyang calendar.
The last person to achieve immortality was Lord Changkong.
The current calendar is the Changkong calendar year 1,011.
So is this the inheritance left behind by True Lord Changkong when he went to knock on the gate of immortality?
When Lin Qianxing thought of this, his expression changed slightly.
That is a method left behind by an immortal. Needless to say, how powerful it is?
Lin Qianxing immediately began to carefully observe what was depicted on the mural.
Although millions of years have passed, the patterns on the murals are still lifelike and filled with a strong Taoist charm.
When Lin Qianxing was concentrating on observing, his mind was suddenly pulled into a fantasy world.
His figure suddenly appeared in a wasteland full of dead bodies.
This is a battlefield, but not a battlefield for mortals, but a battlefield for cultivators.
Several strong men were responsible for carrying the bodies of these cultivators.
The so-called strongman is a warrior who has no spiritual roots and has simply learned some martial arts.
Among these strong men, there was one who was extremely special. When he was moving corpses, he seemed to be looking for some monks who had a higher level of cultivation during their lifetime, or monks who had stronger spiritual roots.
It didn't seem like he wanted to loot the corpses for any relics, after all, they had already been taken away by the immortals.
Soon, the scene changed, and Lin Qianxing saw his true purpose.
Deep underground, he threw the corpse into the alchemy furnace and boiled and refined it with crude alchemy methods.
After many steps, he got a little bit of liquid that was shining with light.
He called it "Xianyuan".
After swallowing the immortal essence, he actually developed spiritual roots in his body that could absorb spiritual energy.
Although the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was very slow, he was still very excited.
Because from now on he will no longer be a mortal, but also a high and mighty monk.
The scene changed. He had been on the battlefield for decades, swallowing countless immortal essences. His cultivation had reached the crystallization stage, and he had a better understanding of the process of refining immortal essences, and his research was more in-depth.
He discovered that not only cultivators, but in fact all spiritual creatures in the world, contained immortal essence that could absorb spiritual energy.
Even if you use monsters, spiritual plants, or even spiritual materials, you can extract immortal essence.
Therefore, he was no longer limited to relying on the corpses of cultivators to refine immortal essence.
At this point, he left the battlefield.
The scene changed again, and he refined an Immortal Yuan Pill using the spiritual roots in a monster's body. After swallowing it, he also obtained the monster's innate spiritual roots.
Then, he began to swallow Xianyuan Pills continuously to strengthen his spiritual roots, making his talent even more exaggerated and his cultivation progress even faster.
In just ten thousand years, he has become a true monarch.
The scene ends here, and Lin Qianxing also understands the method passed down by Master Changkong.
This is actually a method of alchemy to replenish essence and deficiencies.
It is similar to the Zhenyi Pill.
Extract certain qualities contained in other living creatures and then transfer them to the person who takes the pill.
Moreover, the threshold is extremely low. Even if you are just an ordinary person, as long as you have a pot and some spiritual items, you can boil and extract the immortal essence.
The only thing that puzzled Lin Qianxing was that, based on what he had seen, this thing had no side effects.
Why did he feel that the spiritual roots of the old demon Huanhai were so weak?
Just as he was thinking, Lin Qianxing discovered that the mural in front of him was slowly disappearing. The Taoist rhyme contained in it also completely dissipated, and the remaining information in this space was destroyed. Even if someone used the true method to trace the past, it would be difficult to see the true method of inheritance from it.
Lin Qianxing suddenly realized, is it encryption?
So, the old demon Huanhai only saw the false inheritance on the surface, but did not really enter the illusion and see the true inheritance?
In this way, the reason why the old demon Huanhai has weak spiritual roots has been found out.
So the question is, how did he pass the test?
Lin Qianxing seemed very confused and didn't quite understand Master Changkong's encryption method.
But he didn't care much about it. As long as he got the thing, why bother about the details?
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing left the cave and searched the Huanhai Sect. After obtaining a huge amount of supplies, he left the Huanhai Sect contentedly.
After getting the things, Lin Qianxing did not go to find Fan Tingyan and the others immediately.
Instead, he came to a secluded and desolate mountain, opened up a temporary cave, and planned to try to refine the Xianyuan Pill.
He took out an alchemy furnace, and then threw a large amount of wood-attributed spiritual herbs and materials into it.
The true fire rose, and the impurities on the surface of these spiritual herbs and materials were burned clean, and finally only the part that Lin Qianxing wanted to keep remained.
A ball of green mysterious light.
That is the "spiritual root" contained in them.
This is a rule program, a genetic fragment, manifested in this world.
It is randomly generated on all living or dead objects. With it, one can absorb and control the corresponding spiritual energy.
So from a certain perspective, it can be said to be a kind of authority of the world.
The world's authority to absorb spiritual energy is limited. When a creature with corresponding authority dies, his authority will be reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao and then re-granted to other creatures.
Therefore, the key to refining immortal essence is to make the Heavenly Dao make a misjudgment and prevent the Heavenly Dao from taking back this part of the authority.
This technique is not difficult, it can even be said to be so simple that it is a little unimaginable, otherwise it would not have been possible for Master Changkong to successfully extract immortal essence when he was a mortal.
The trick is to add your essence and blood into it when refining the immortal essence.
It's that simple.
It’s hard to say whether it’s a bug in the laws of this world.
Anyway, after you extract the immortal essence and add it to your own essence and blood, it will not dissipate but will be preserved forever.
I don’t know whether the Heavenly Dao can’t sense the breath of immortal energy, or whether it mistakenly judged that this part of the authority belongs to you?
In short, this way you can preserve this part of immortal energy.
At this time, you can swallow it directly and give yourself the talent or "authority" to absorb the corresponding spiritual energy?
Of course, what you can get in this way are just messy pseudo spiritual roots.
If the spiritual roots are likened to magnets of different properties, the process of absorbing spiritual energy is to absorb the corresponding metal molecules scattered around.
If you swallow the immortal essence directly, you will only get a magnet with low magnetism that will continue to demagnetize during use.
Not only is the absorption efficiency low, but it will also gradually lose its effectiveness with use.
Therefore, it is necessary to refine it into Xianyuan Pill, completely transform it into a part of oneself, and truly become one's spiritual root.
This step is the most critical.
Because in order to refine the Xianyuan Pill, you must know what the corresponding spiritual root looks like, and then you can shape the Xianyuan into the appearance of the corresponding spiritual root according to the rules of heaven.
And the bodies of monks that Changkong Zhenjun has dissected are more than 100,000?
So whether it is the five elements, yin and yang, acquired or innate, he knows what almost all spiritual roots look like.
This is the key inheritance part of the Xianyuan Pill.
That was the knowledge that Changkong Zhenjun obtained after more than 100,000 years of research.
In Lin Qianxing's palm, the ball of immortal energy was manipulated to constantly change its shape. Mysterious and complex Taoist patterns were intertwined on it, forming the shape of an acquired wood spiritual root. Finally, it turned into an immortal energy pill shining with a faint green light and fell into Lin Qianxing's hand.
[Acquired Wood Attribute Immortal Yuan Pill [Tongxuan (Poor Quality)]: A spiritual root pill made of immortal essence. After swallowing and refining, it can generate an acquired wood spiritual root in the body of the swallower.]
This Xianyuan Pill is light green in color, hollow and transparent as a whole, and is made entirely of Xianyuan. If you look , you can see countless Dao patterns intertwined together to form this Xianyuan Pill.
It floated in Lin Qianxing's palm, absorbing the surrounding wood spiritual energy at an extremely slow speed.
However, after absorbing it, it was not stored, but was directly spit out after conversion.
This is how spiritual roots work.
Refining the Immortal Essence Pill is actually simulating the Way of Heaven and using the Immortal Essence to reshape the spiritual roots.
Apart from not knowing how to generate immortal essence after birth, Lord Changkong has actually almost thoroughly studied spiritual roots.
So to a certain extent, although he had no spiritual roots at the beginning, he was indeed a genius, and it is no wonder that he could become an immortal .
After observing for a while, Lin Qianxing directly swallowed the immortal essence pill of the acquired wood spiritual root in his hand.
After the Xianyuan Pill entered the body, the essence and blood that Lin Qianxing had previously injected into it took effect.
It directly triggered a certain mechanism, judging it as a part of Lin Qianxing's body.
Almost instantly, the Xianyuan Pill was absorbed by Lin Qianxing.
And surprisingly, he also had an additional acquired wood-attribute spiritual root in his body.
That’s right, it did not merge with Lin Qianxing’s previous acquired wood-attribute spiritual roots.
Instead, he possesses two acquired wood-attribute spiritual roots.
Lin Qianxing felt the whole process carefully. He felt that this process seemed to be the same as the Taoist monks using their physical bodies to carry the Tao.
In order to carry a complete spiritual root, you need to have a certain level of physical and spiritual strength. If your physical and spiritual strength are not up to standard, even if you have a powerful spiritual root, you will not be able to exert its full effect.
Or in other words, spiritual roots are a different kind of Tao principle?
But the difference is.
Tao is the rules of oneself, while spiritual roots are the rules of heaven and earth.
Lin Qianxing noticed this keenly.
He feels like there's a trap here?
But I can't tell exactly what it is.
If the owner of the spiritual root rules is a living being, and the rules of other living beings are integrated into his body, then it can be said that his life and death are controlled by that living being.
But the source of these spiritual root rules is this world.
You were born from heaven and earth, and then you eat what it uses and use what it has. It already controls everything about you. If heaven wants to mess with you, there is no need for it to go to such lengths to mess with you.
After thinking for a while and still not figuring it out, Lin Qianxing shook his head slightly and put the doubts in his mind aside.
No matter what, everything will become clear once you pass the level.
Even if there are pitfalls, it doesn’t matter. At most, after you fail this time, you just need to be careful next time you play.
This is his confidence as a player.
With countless opportunities to start over, he can boldly use his life to step into traps and gain experience.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing walked out of this temporary cave, used his true method to completely destroy all traces of it, and then returned to the secret realm opened up by Fan Tingyan.
