Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1048: Transferring to Cultivation Techniques
Upon seeing this piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood, the woman sitting on the dark purple jade cauldron's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face:

"That Soul-Nourishing Wood was protected by Wanbao Old Ghost with a powerful restriction, I didn't expect you to actually be able to obtain a piece of it!"

“Indeed, since you have such a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood, it’s not impossible for me to agree to refine pills for you.”

"Here's what we'll do: the Soul-Nourishing Wood will belong to me. If you are able to advance to the Mahayana stage in the future, I want you to do one more thing for me."

"What do you think? If you agree to this, I will help you refine the Dao Integration Pill. If you need to refine other pills in the future, I can also help you refine them."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing was naturally overjoyed. Didn't this mean that he had acquired an alchemist who was once a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage, whose alchemy skills were absolutely astonishing?

But he didn't rush to agree; he needed to figure out first what this person wanted his help with.

"May I ask what tasks you require of me in the future, senior?"

The spirit of the medicine cauldron spoke, "It's not a difficult matter. You cultivate the Chaos Law. In the future, I will ask you to use the power of the Chaos Law to reshape this medicine cauldron and return it to its initial state. That way, I will have the opportunity to break free from it and use the Soul Nourishing Wood to reside in it."

The power of chaos was used to reshape the cauldron, returning it to its original state.

Li Qing frowned. He himself was unaware that the laws of chaos possessed such an ability, and therefore doubted whether he could accomplish it.

Seemingly sensing Li Qing's worries, the woman chuckled and said, "Although you have comprehended the laws of chaos, your cultivation is still shallow, and your understanding of chaos is far from profound."

"As far as I know, the laws of chaos can return everything to a state of chaos, which should also be one of the true essences of chaos."

"Once you advance to the Mahayana stage and gain a deeper understanding of the laws of chaos, you may be able to master this ability."

All things returned to chaos!

Li Qing was slightly shaken. These words gave him a deeper understanding of the laws of chaos, providing him with another perspective if he wanted to continue comprehending them in the future.

"So that's how it is. All things return to chaos, and chaos can give birth to all things, which is in line with the principle of beginning and end."

These words greatly inspired him, and even the Chaos Dao Seed within his body sprouted several more roots, which might sprout tender shoots at any time.

“Alright, I agree to this. If I can advance to the Mahayana stage and comprehend the Chaos Law to the point where all things return to chaos, I will do my utmost to help you break free from the spirit body!” Li Qing said, clasping his hands in a fist salute, his words resounding.

After hearing this promise, the woman nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Very good. Since that's the case, the deal is done. Take out all the materials for the Dao Integration Pill you have, and I will start refining the pill for you right away."

"However, refining pills of this level might cause the pill energy to gather and turn into tribulation clouds, eventually forming a pill tribulation. Can you protect yourself then?"

The elixir energy transformed into clouds, ultimately triggering the elixir tribulation!
This is the necessary process for a pill to become a spirit, which means that this person has extremely high alchemy skills and is even confident that he can refine a pill spirit when refining the Dao Integration Pill!
Li Qing once took a Five Elements Returning to Origin Pill that had become a spirit, and its effects far surpassed those of ordinary pills.

If the Dao Integration Pill could also possess a spiritual essence, it would likely attract the covetousness of many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. The Dao Integration Pill already offers immense benefits to Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but a spiritual pill would probably drive some Nascent Soul stage cultivators stuck in a bottleneck to madness. Perhaps just one pill could help them break through their bottleneck.

However, there are quite a few Supreme Elders in the Integration Stage within the Refining Heaven Pavilion. In addition, the Pavilion Master is currently in the late Integration Stage and is in seclusion trying to advance to the Perfect Integration Stage.

After thinking for a while, Li Qing said, "The sect leader is currently in seclusion and should not come out easily."

"As for the other elders, it doesn't matter. I can just take the pills directly after they are made."

"No problem, senior, please feel free to refine it. I also have some trump cards up my sleeve."

With that, Li Qing confidently took out all the spiritual herbs he had on him to refine the Dao Integration Pill. All his gains were enough to refine the Dao Integration Pill five times!
Even a cultivator at the Integration Stage could spend thousands of years and still not be able to collect enough spiritual herbs to make a single batch of Integration Pills. This shows just how precious Li Qing's five portions of spiritual herbs for refining Integration Pills are. We can only express our gratitude to Ancestor Wanbao for his gift.

"Alright, since you've said so, then you can go into seclusion without worry. If a pill tribulation occurs, I'll let you know in advance."

As she spoke, the woman stepped onto the cauldron, and then her illusory body gradually merged with the cauldron.

boom!
Scorching flames naturally emerged from beneath the medicine cauldron. Previously, in the Myriad Treasures Ancient Realm, this medicine cauldron had drained an entire fire vein, so there was no need for Li Qing to provide spiritual fire.

The six spiritual flames on his body did not enhance his alchemy abilities, so all he needed to do next was to calmly enter seclusion. He had considerable confidence in this senior who had previously cultivated to the Mahayana stage.

So Li Qing placed his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and began to rest and adjust his state.

After a long while, when he felt his mental state had returned to full strength, a celestial scripture began to circulate in his mind.

The Dao Kalpa Wuji Scripture!
With scriptures covering everything from the Qi Refining stage to the True Immortal stage, Li Qing planned to switch to cultivating new techniques.

Although the "Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique" that he is currently cultivating is not bad, with the blessing of the Six Paths Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, his cultivation speed far exceeds that of other cultivators of the same level, but its scriptures stop at the Integration Stage and do not include the cultivation sections after the Mahayana Stage.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more complicated it becomes to switch cultivation methods, and the more time it takes to do so.

Now that he has obtained all the texts of the "Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing" (Scripture of Limitless Tribulation) that he will create in the future through the Daoist Book of Time, what is there to hesitate about? He can just switch to cultivating it directly.

Li Qing already had a foundation in this scripture and a very deep understanding of its profound meaning, especially the content up to the Nascent Soul stage, which he was extremely familiar with.

Therefore, he started to study the chapters from the Refinement of Emptiness stage directly, and studied each passage for a long time, repeatedly pondering its meaning.

It can only be said that it is a scripture he created himself. Although it is extremely profound, Li Qing seems to have divine assistance in comprehending it. He can easily understand some very obscure passages.

And so, time passed gradually, and twelve years went by in the blink of an eye.

Over the past twelve years, Li Qing has gained a thorough understanding of the cultivation technique. After all, his own cultivation level is what it is, and since it is a scripture he created himself, he only needed three years to fully comprehend the chapters on the Void Refinement stage.

Over the next nine years, he gradually mastered the basics of the scriptures for the Integration Stage, and now he has accumulated a certain level of knowledge.

"Phew, I can start the repair process now."

Li Qing let out a long breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The "Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing" was created by him by combining the strengths of multiple cultivation techniques, making it quite comprehensive. Moreover, he did not abandon the characteristics of the "Chi Huang Fen Tian Gong" and incorporated its advantages into it. In addition, he also made his own innovations in this cultivation technique.

The only problem is that it is very difficult to practice, and the scriptures are extremely obscure and difficult, making it unsuitable for most people.

Li Qing's greatest expectation is the ability to improve the grade of his spiritual fire. Once he cultivates the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture to the Integration Stage, he can use his own true essence as a catalyst to cause the spiritual fire to undergo a transformation!

This is somewhat like the profound meaning of the first volume of the "Refining Heaven Scripture," which he will integrate into his cultivation technique in the future.

At this level, the spiritual fire can no longer play a significant role in combat, but if it can be transformed, it can still serve as a primary means of combat in the future.

With this in mind, Li Qing calmed down and officially began to cultivate the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture!

The cultivation essence of the Integration Stage is immense. It would take more than a hundred years to completely complete the transformation. Therefore, the earlier the transformation is completed, the better. If it is delayed until the late Integration Stage, the time will be extended by more than ten times.

Soon, the originally crimson true essence within Li Qing's body gradually gained a trace of grayish true essence, like impurities in a pure ocean.

The switch to the new cultivation method has officially begun.

On the other side, the spirit of the medicine cauldron has successfully refined a batch of Dao Integration Pills. This batch did not suffer from pill tribulation, but it was good because the number of waste pills was small. Six pills were successfully refined in one batch, and only two pills turned into dregs.

Refining pills at this level is extremely difficult, and it is common for them to take more than ten or even several decades to complete.

When cultivators reach the Mahayana stage, refining pills can take hundreds of years. At that level, they not only need to refine extremely precious spiritual herbs, but also absorb the essence of heaven and earth. The emergence of each batch of pills is extremely dramatic, like waves crashing against the shore or thunder destroying the world.

In the twenty-seventh year of Li Qing's seclusion, one-tenth of the true essence in his body had successfully transformed into a hazy gray color. At this moment, within his dantian, it was as if a chaotic island had emerged from a crimson sea.

Not only that, even his own nascent soul has changed.

The second batch of the Dao Integration Pill has been refined, and it still has not triggered the Pill Tribulation. This time, seven pills were successfully refined, and two of them turned into dregs.

The spirit of the cauldron seemed to know that Li Qing was currently at a critical stage, so it was very conservative in its refining process, not seeking high-quality pills, but focusing more on the quantity of pills.

After completing this batch of refining, she did not continue refining but returned to the medicine cauldron to rest.

After all, it is only a spirit of an artifact, and it cannot continuously refine such high-level pills; it needs time to recover.

Over the years, the human race and the beastmen have maintained considerable restraint. The tense atmosphere between the two races has also subsided considerably. Both sides seem to be more focused on intelligence battles and neither seems confident in starting a full-scale war.

The human race was naturally happy to see this happen, since time was on their side. The lifespan of a Mahayana stage ancestor in the Beast Fang Clan was running out, and he might pass away at any time. This news was no longer a secret among the human race, as it had been brought back a hundred years ago.

As for the events that have occurred within the cultivation world of the human realm, there are quite a few. Mo Feng of the Mo family, a family of immortals, has emerged from seclusion, successfully comprehended the laws, and become a Venerable in the Integration stage!
It is said that the first thing Mo Feng did after emerging from seclusion was to cause trouble for the Taotie family. He actually went to the Taotie family's territory alone and said that he wanted to challenge the elders of this True Spirit family.

This is no joke. The dignity of the True Spirit Family naturally needs to be maintained, and the Gluttonous Family has also shown a deep enough foundation, sending out three Venerables in the Integration Stage, all of whom are ancient beings who have comprehended the Devouring Law. One of them is even close to the late Integration Stage!
However, Mo Feng's combat power was terrifying enough that he was able to fight three opponents at once without being at a disadvantage. He managed to injure Venerable Devourer and then left gracefully.

After that day, everyone in the world understood that Mo Feng had become a giant among the human race. He had such combat power in such a short time since entering the Integration Stage. Unless the heads of those True Spirit Families were to emerge, it would be difficult to suppress him.

"Peng Zhan of the Peng family has also emerged from seclusion. It seems he has also comprehended the laws and become a Venerable in the Integration Stage!"

"On that day, some people witnessed Peng Zhan transforming into an ancient celestial roc, fighting against the heavens, with an attitude of wanting to compete with the heavens."

"He is truly awe-inspiring. If he continues to immerse himself in the Integration Stage for several thousand years, and his cultivation reaches the mid-Integration Stage or even higher, he will probably be invincible below the Mahayana Stage."

"Indeed, it is the growth of these outstanding talents that has deterred the Beast Fang Clan from launching a full-scale war."

"."

Among the outstanding figures of this generation, the one who has attracted the most attention is undoubtedly the true son of the Long family!
Everyone knows that Long Yi's blood is extremely rich, exceeding 50%, making him unmatched in terms of bloodline aptitude.

However, Long Yi remains shrouded in mystery, and no news about him has been released over the years. No one knows what his current strength is.

But no one dared to underestimate him, and the Long family today is like a bottomless abyss!

Amidst the turbulent changes in the cultivation world, Li Qing remained focused on cultivating his own cultivation technique.

In the blink of an eye, he had been in seclusion for forty-nine years, and nearly forty percent of his true essence had been transformed into the "Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing".

At this moment, the crimson and gray true essence in his dantian were clearly separated, which was extremely strange.

A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Li Qing's forehead as he sat cross-legged. He hadn't expected that after switching cultivation techniques, he would develop two kinds of true essence, and his nascent soul would become somewhat unstable.

The spirit of the cauldron, having finished refining the third batch of Dao Integration Pills, slowly emerged and immediately noticed that Li Qing's condition was not right.

"Your cultivation has run into problems. There's a conflict between the two types of true essence within your body, causing your nascent soul to become unstable."

"If this continues, your nascent soul will disintegrate."

"Either you abandon a portion of it now, or you complete the conversion of all your true essence into cultivation in one go, or you have a method to stabilize your nascent soul."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately took out a dark blue-green fruit. The fruit was very plump and had a faint luster, looking somewhat like a melon.

The woman sitting on the dark purple jade cauldron raised an eyebrow. As an alchemist, she naturally recognized the origin of this fruit at a glance.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's actually a Xuan Yun Fruit. You actually have such a spiritual fruit for condensing and stabilizing the Nascent Soul. I don't remember that Old Ghost Wanbao's medicine garden had this kind of spiritual herb, did it?"

"With this result, there's no need to worry about the nascent soul disintegrating."

"It's a real shame, though; using such a Mystic Cloud Fruit here is far too wasteful."
