Chapter 2780: Chapter 1286: Perfection of Spirit Transmutation (2)
"In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony."
Just as Chen Mobai intended to use the Longevity Great Dao Pill to establish a millennium-long foundation for the Five Elements Sect, he took the materials needed for the Core Formation Three Spirit Medicines, together with the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill and the Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir, mixing everything together and listed a comprehensive inventory for the Three Great Sacred Lands.
The Three Great Sacred Lands that had received the alchemy recipe as compensation did not hesitate. After receiving the list, they immediately returned to their respective sects and began to mobilize all their disciples to collect these materials.
...
Dao Morale Sect.
Qi Jiannu brought back the news of the Longevity Great Dao Pill recipe, causing all the elders skilled in alchemy to gather at the mountain gate, analyzing it under the personal leadership of Dustless True Monarch.
"This alchemy recipe is indeed more exquisite than our Communicating Holy Spirit Pill."
An elder with graying beard sighed and spoke after he finished reading.
He had previously suspected the Five Elements Sect of stealing the alchemy recipe, believing that no alchemist outside Dao Morale Sect could deduce a Rank-5 alchemy recipe. Now, in light of the facts, he felt incredibly ashamed, perceiving himself as a frog at the bottom of a well.
"The Saintess has truly worked hard this time."
After everyone had seen the alchemy recipe, Shenxi, the Sect Master, smilingly said this to Qi Jiannu, then invited her to stand by his right.
On the left was Xuande.
As she stepped up, all the Nascent Soul Elders she passed by greeted her warmly.
These gestures made Qi Jiannu realize that not only had she freed herself from a burden, but she had also greatly increased her favorability.
If she managed her relations well, she might indeed compete with Xuande for the position of Sect Master.
She wasn’t particularly interested in power, but being the Sect Master would guarantee getting a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.
If she could acquire the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill and also obtain the Longevity Great Dao Pill from the Five Elements Sect, her chances of achieving Spirit Transmutation would not be insignificant.
While Qi Jiannu’s lips curled into a smile, the elders of Dao Morale Sect were already discussing the list of materials she had brought.
"Exactly how many Rank-5 alchemy recipes does the Five Elements Sect possess?"
Everyone present specialized in alchemy, so they immediately discerned the subtleties in the mixed list of five major alchemy recipes proposed by Chen Mobai and expressed their surprise.
"Never heard that the Longevity Sect had these, have we?"
Dao Morale Sect’s oldest ancestor had once visited the Heavenly Sovereign alongside the Human Emperor. The first several Sect Masters had dealings with the Longevity Sect. Although that period is too ancient to have much documentation, if there were any Rank-5 recipes, it’s unreasonable that Dao Morale Sect, being a pioneer in alchemy, wouldn’t have them.
"It’s unquestionable that the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor obtained the Heavenly Sovereign’s legacy, but regarding the alchemy recipes, they likely borrowed the name of the Longevity Sect. It was mainly to obscure the true origins of Danxia Master."
Reacting to this, Dustless True Monarch spoke with a knowing smile, showing he had seen through Chen Mobai’s blinding technique.
"Oh, what origin is so remarkable that even the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor would need to hide it—is it possibly related to the Demon Path?"
Some elders from Dao Morale Sect held some hostility toward Qing Nu, an outstanding alchemist who emerged seemingly out of nowhere in the Eastern Continent. They took the opportunity to interpret this in the worst possible light.
"Not at all, not only is it not connected to the Demon Path, but it could actually be a secret force that even we in the Righteous Path need to revere."
Dustless True Monarch gazed at the northern sky, his expression mildly serious.
Upon hearing his words, several intelligent elders of Dao Morale Sect guessed that he was referring to the Sky Sea Jellyfish Palace, and their expressions turned startled.
"Gather all the materials on this list with diligence. Once collected, Su’er will deliver them to the Five Elements Sect. Maintain cordial relations with them from now on, under no circumstances can we become adversaries."
Dustless True Monarch gave his final instructions and then left the great hall.
Similar situations unfolded in the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
The highest requirement of Chen Mobai’s material list was Rank-5, with most being auxiliary Rank-3 and Rank-4 materials, making it only a somewhat troublesome request for the Sacred Lands but not impossible to fulfill.
With Dao Morale Sect’s full cooperation, the materials for the first batch of Longevity Great Dao Pills were quickly assembled.
Qing Nu presided over Wanhua Immortal City, leading the elite alchemists cultivated over the century, distributing each type of material in preparation for refining.
Initially, Qing Nu sought to make the alchemization process public, taking the opportunity to instruct on how to refine the Longevity Great Dao Pill.
However, the Sacred Lands had firmly entrenched beliefs that the alchemization process must be kept secret, so nobody mentioned this issue. They even voluntarily withdrew their disciples from Wanhua Immortal City to avoid any suspicions.
Thus, Qing Nu thought that the Three Great Sacred Lands had already mastered the alchemy recipe and did not require her instruction.
Chen Mobai paid this notion no mind; he returned to the Purple Cloud Universe to order more Dragon Gall.
He sought quick completion of his Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, the simplest method being to rely on medication. With the Heavenly Deception Talisman, he could repeatedly consume Ascension Dragon Gall Pills to enhance his progress. However, the highest-grade Dragon Gall in Tianhe Realm had been exhausted by him, and most remaining dragon True Spirits were no longer available, being attached to entities such as Ao Yuxia of the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace, forcing him to resort to purchases.
Time flowed on.
Soon, twenty-eight years passed.
Thanks to the support of the Three Great Sacred Lands, Qing Nu not only succeeded in refining the Core Formation Three Spirit Medicines but also created three batches of Ascension Dragon Gall Pills and one batch of Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixirs.
Wandering Mountain.
Chen Mobai sat upright on the most spirit-filled peak, his entire body gleaming with golden light, akin to a great sun suspended above the summit, radiating a warm yang energy that nourished the nearby sea territories.
For decades now, on the Eastern Yi Mainland, people had grown accustomed to having two suns.
One resided in the sky, the other on a mountain near the sea.
The sun in the sky bestowed the mundane with the sunlight they needed, while the sun on the mountain brought forth the most abundant spirit energy.
As the central hub of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, Chen Mobai, in preparing for his breakthrough, utilized the Haotian Mirror to maximize the formation’s spirit-gathering capacity.
With the convergence of spirit veins from the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier, Wandering Mountain’s spirit energy had reached the pinnacle of Rank-6 intensity.
Consequently, the spirit energy across all of Eastern Yi had risen significantly.
The closer one drew to Wandering Mountain, the purer and more vast the spirit energy became.
In such an environment, Luo Yixuan too benefited, easily cultivating to the Perfect Core Formation realm. However, as Chen Mobai was still in seclusion, she suppressed her cultivation level to avoid triggering a Heavenly Tribulation, which might disturb her master’s cultivation.
On this day, the sun on the mountain’s peak abruptly became dazzlingly brilliant, with its center creating thick clouds bursting with a myriad of glows, faintly accompanied by the songs of a hundred birds—a stunning spectacle.
Luo Yixuan, while watering flowers, suddenly sensed the vast spirit energy within the mountain beginning to surge towards the peak where Chen Mobai was secluded, her jade-like visage filled with both astonishment and joy.
[Is Master about to emerge from seclusion?]
She immediately set down her work, took out the Heavenly Communication Device, and informed Qing Nu and Zhuo Ming about the event before she was the first to fly towards the base of the mountain.
At that moment, an Azure Bird spread its wings, cutting through the clouds, followed by a Five-Colored Peacock and a Golden Cinnabar Phoenix taking flight.
The Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect spun and glided around, centered on the mountain peak.
During this process, all the pure spirit energy flowing in was entirely devoured and refined by these three Soul Dharma Aspects.
A full forty-nine days later, the rate at which they absorbed the spirit energy finally slowed down.
Amidst the celestial, melodious cries, the Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect transformed successively into three beams of Immortal Light, merging into the human figure enveloped in golden light atop the mountain peak.
Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant, two beams of light pierced through all the cloud layers.
This occurred because his cultivation had just broken through to Perfection of Spirit Transmutation and he had yet to fully master his drastically increased strength.
Having reached the late stage of Deity Transformation, consuming a single Ascension Dragon Gall Pill now only advanced the Pure Yang Scroll by 3.53%.
With thirty high-quality Ascension Dragon Gall Pills, the aid of the Heavenly Deception Talisman and the Pure Yang Great Dao, coupled with Chen Mobai’s own earnest effort, he finally achieved Perfection today.
