Chapter Thirty-One: The Pure Yang Treasure Pill

  "Pure Sun Treasure Pill?" Xia Chen was shocked.

  Dan medicine is also divided into grades, such as Yuanqi Dan and Duojin Dan, which are only basic dan medicines suitable for post-heavenly disciples. Going up further, there are precious dans, which can only be refined by divine-through masters and are high-grade dan medicines.

  It is said that above the Treasure Elixir, there is a legendary Spirit Elixir!

  Xia Chen has been receiving guidance from a mysterious woman these days, and he is now well-versed in the art of alchemy, including the intricacies of Dan medicine.

  "Not bad, it's indeed a precious elixir. Don't you want to refine it? It will be very beneficial for you!" the mysterious woman said.

  Xia Chen smiled wryly and said, "Of course I want to refine it, but with my abilities, I won't be able to do so."

  "It doesn't matter, your alchemy skills are pretty good too. I'll assist you with my divine thoughts, just control the fire timing well." The mysterious woman said.

  A faint light flickered, and a dozen or so medicinal herbs suddenly floated into the cave.

  "This is......" Xia Chen stared at the medicinal herbs, shocked.

  Each of the medicinal materials was several times more advanced than those he had used to refine his Basic Foundation Elixir in the past, and Xia Chen could only barely identify two or three of them, which he had seen in books.

  "This is the medicinal material for refining the Pure Yang Treasure Pill." The mysterious woman said, "My physical body is not convenient, but I will add my spiritual intention to you, you control the fire time, and the rest I will take care of. In other words, we will refine the pill together, and you will gain great benefits!"

  Xia Chen suddenly realized and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If he had to refine the pill himself, he was afraid that even after half a day, he still wouldn't be able to distinguish its medicinal properties.

  "Your crucible can't be used anymore." The mysterious woman said, "To refine the Treasure Elixir, a higher-grade crucible is required."

  A faint light flashed again, and a silver-white tripod appeared in front of Xia Chen. The tripod was about half the height of a person, with exquisite flower patterns carved on it.

  Compared with this tripod furnace, Xia Chen's tripod furnace is simply an unmarketable inferior product.

  Tripod and medicine materials were neatly placed inside the cave, and it was unknown what means the mysterious woman had used to hide so many things.

  Whoosh! A white light flashed by, and immediately flames began to burn fiercely under the cauldron. The flames were pure white in color, but they seemed to be burning spontaneously, looking very strange.

  "This is my innate true fire, enough to sustain for two hours. Put the medicine into the cauldron, be careful not to touch the innate true fire." The mysterious woman instructed.

  Xia Chen poured the medicinal materials one by one into the silver-white cauldron.

  Every time a medicinal material is put in, the mysterious woman will transmit spiritual information to tell him the name of the medicinal material, its properties and how to distinguish it, etc. This information also contains many profound elixir knowledge, which is stored one by one in Xia Chen's mind. Even if Xia Chen doesn't understand now, he will slowly digest it over time.

  Xia Chen looked at the pure white congenital true fire, although he couldn't feel the temperature of the congenital true fire, and it seemed that this white flame was harmless, but he didn't have any curiosity or desire to try.

  He deeply knew that if he was stained with this white flame, he would probably be burned to the point where even his bones were gone.

  "Be careful, I'm going to impart divine thoughts to you, pay attention and feel it carefully, Xia Chen!" the mysterious woman said.

  A surge of powerful energy instantly infused into Xia Chen's body.

  This power is the same as the one that probed into Xia Chen's body earlier, but what's different is that after being blessed by the divine will, Xia Chen can use the mysterious woman's power at will.

  In an instant, Xia Chen felt himself expanding, as if he were a giant overlooking the earth, possessing boundless and immense power.

  One punch falls, and even high mountains will collapse, and seas will flow backwards.

  Is this the power of divine will? Xia Chen was extremely shocked.

  "Concentrate your mind and prepare for alchemy." The mysterious woman said.

  "Yes!" Xia Chen's body stiffened, his two hands clapped together, and a surge of true energy burst out, rushing towards the Xiantian True Fire.

  With his cultivation, he couldn't ignite the Primordial True Flame at all, but with the mysterious woman's divine thought imbuing him, his true energy increased by more than a hundredfold compared to before.

  With a whoosh, the innate true fire suddenly became fierce, and the snow-white flames licked the bottom of the silver-white cauldron. The cauldron immediately emitted a sizzling sound, and the medicinal materials inside quickly melted.

  If it were Xia Chen's tripod furnace, it would probably have been blown up by the Xiantian True Fire.

  Xia Chen closed his eyes, concentrating his mind and controlling the Xiantian True Fire.

  He was extremely cautious, and his attention was more concentrated than ever before. After all, the treasure pill was not a concept with ordinary pills. Although there was the help of the聚宝盆 (聚宝盆 is a mythical object that can help with alchemy), the control of fire timing was very strong, but the medicinal properties of the dozens of high-grade medicinal materials were extremely complex, and controlling the fire timing was naturally extremely difficult!

  A slight mistake will lead to all previous efforts being in vain.

  Fortunately, with the mysterious woman's divine intention blessing, Xia Chen only needed to follow the steps, and there was no major mistake. Moreover, that innate true fire was also at his beck and call, controlling it as he pleased. Compared to controlling external fire, it was a hundred times easier.

  No wonder only cultivating one's own true fire is good for alchemy, it turns out to be so! Xia Chen's mind flashed with a thought, and then he devoted himself to cultivation.

  The innate true fire burned silently and quietly, time passed bit by bit, and the mysterious woman's information instilled in Xia Chen's mind was also quickly absorbed and digested by Xia Chen.

  The two of them practiced alchemy together, and Xia Chen was able to achieve a state of unity with the divine, just like a cultivator in the Divine Transcendence realm. The benefits he gained were unparalleled.

  The true energy in his body began to surge out of control, and its strengthening speed was terrifying.

  In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen's meridians extended again, and in the process of becoming strong and resilient like a galloping horse, they organically combined and gradually wove into a sturdy net inside his body.

  The muscles and tendons form a network, binding the entire body even more tightly together, unyieldingly strong and indestructibly tough! This is the acquired Fourth Level of Refining the Tendons.

  Xia Chen's face turned red, his whole body trembling, and a clear "crackling" sound came from inside him. This was the sound of his meridians being tempered to their limits, with the mysterious woman's divine intent assisting him, Xia Chen's meridians were strengthened to an unprecedented degree.

  An explosive power surged through his body, and for a moment, Xia Chen suddenly had an unbeatable feeling.

  In just a moment, he broke through the fourth layer of the Acquired Realm. However, his true energy growth didn't stop and instead accelerated, rapidly advancing towards an even higher realm.

  At this time, in the deep muscle of Xia Chen, some invisible and transparent particles that are invisible to the naked eye suddenly ignited spontaneously, turned into wisps of smoke, and then discharged out of the body along the pores.

  That was the Zi Wu Ci Xin poison, which had originally been deposited in Xia Chen's muscles, but with Xia Chen breaking through to the Fourth Heaven and the mysterious woman's divine intent assisting him, it was all forced out.

  While toxins are forced out, other useless impurities in the body are also eliminated. Xia Chen's physical body is purified to an unprecedented level, with every root and muscle grain becoming crystal clear, like a crystal.

  Purifying the physical body, the path of cultivation after summer will become smoother and progress will be faster.

  At the same time, alchemy had also reached a critical stage. The silver-white crucible emitted an exceptionally bright glow, illuminating the dark cave as if it were a sunny day.

  Half a beat later, the tightness in Xia Chen's muscles stopped, but his entire skeletal system began to crackle and pop uncontrollably.

  Due to the excessive growth of true energy, after the refinement of tendons and channels reaches saturation point, the true energy begins to advance towards the skeletal system, which is equivalent to the realm of heavenly bone refinement after the impact.

  Xia Chen woke up from his cultivation state, hastily mobilizing his true energy to suppress the wildly growing true energy with all his might.

  Although the true energy was allowed to surge wildly, Xia Chen could completely break through the post-heavenly fifth-level Bone Refining Realm, which was equivalent to advancing two levels at once. However, losing a level of power's comprehension would make the path of future cultivation extremely difficult.

  The silver-white tripod furnace shook violently, and with the thick fragrance of medicine spreading, the entire cave suddenly seemed to rise a smoke, becoming hazy. This was an extraordinary phenomenon formed by the medicinal aura of the treasure pill.

  Bang!

  The lid of the tripod was forced by the medicinal gas, and it suddenly flew open. Four yellowish-brown pellets flashed brightly and quickly flew out of the tripod, surprisingly floating in mid-air without falling to the ground.

  Bao Dan has already possessed spirituality and is by no means comparable to ordinary basic dan medicine.

  A snow-white, slender and crystal-like perfect jade hand stretched out from the void, lightly grasped it, and held four treasure pills in its hand, then shrank back into the void.

  Puff! The white congenital true fire suddenly went out.

  A powerful spiritual force suddenly dissipated from Xia Chen's body, and he opened his eyes, also letting out a long breath. Just now, he almost couldn't suppress the growth of his true energy, fortunately, the mysterious woman's spiritual force retreated in time.

  His current cultivation is at the peak of the fourth stage of the Post-Heavenly Refining Tendon Realm, just one step away from bursting open the gates of the fifth stage. Moreover, his bones have already been tempered by true energy, making it much easier for him to advance to the Refining Bone Realm.

  However, even if it's just the fourth peak of the post-heavenly realm, Xia Chen has the confidence to fight against the fifth peak of the post-heavenly realm, and with his terrifying true energy control, he might not necessarily lose to a fifth peak master.

  "Senior, has the Pure Yang Treasure Pill been successfully refined?" Xia Chen asked cautiously, feeling the overflowing power of the Fourth Stage of Postnatal Refining Tendon.

  He had just been exerting all his strength to suppress the violently surging true energy and had no time to care about the alchemy.

  "It's done." The mysterious woman's tone was quite joyful. "Xia Chen, thank you, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to refine the Pure Yang Treasure Pill."

  "It's great that I can help my senior, and I'm also very happy." Xia Chen was quite delighted, although the mysterious woman was in charge, but after all, he had also refined a treasure pill, and his cultivation had advanced again, so he felt extremely pleased.

  A faint yellow light flashed, and a grain of yellow earthy dan medicine suddenly floated in front of Xia Chen.

  "Take this Pure Yang Treasure Pill." the mysterious woman said.

  Xia Chen hesitated, not taking the Pure Yang Treasure Pill: "Senior, I just lent a hand, mainly relying on you to refine the treasure pill. Moreover, you've taught me many things, such a precious treasure pill, junior dare not..."

  "Take it if you want, what's with the pretence? Others try every means to get me to give them things, but I won't. The mysterious woman interrupted him, "You don't even want it? Are you looking for trouble?"

  Although she was threatening, her tone was completely different.

  "Yes, junior doesn't dare, thank you senior!" Xia Chen stuck out his tongue and reached out to take the Pure Yang Treasure Pill.

  After half a month of getting along with each other, plus the emotional outpouring with the mysterious woman before refining the elixir, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.
