Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1049 The time has come
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the Refining Heaven Pavilion and the Limitless Hall, a cloud of mist exuding a rich medicinal fragrance rose from the hall.

The elixir's energy has formed clouds! This means an unparalleled elixir has been born, and this batch of elixir has even given birth to a elixir spirit, making its medicinal effects extremely extraordinary.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of many elders of the Refining Heaven Pavilion. The alchemy tribulation was about to take shape, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard inside.

Rumble!
While tribulations involving spiritual treasures were not uncommon in the past at the Refining Heaven Pavilion, a tribulation involving pills like this was extremely rare, and the surging clouds of pills were quite eye-catching.

"What kind of tribulation is this? It doesn't resemble the heavenly tribulation of cultivators, nor is it a tribulation of spiritual treasures. It's truly rare."

"Hiss, that must be a pill tribulation! Someone actually refined a batch of peerless precious pills, and some of the pills even developed sentience!"

"It looks like the direction of the Wuji Palace. I didn't expect Elder Wuji to be so proficient in alchemy. He's really amazing."

"I wonder what kind of pill it is. If it's a pill for improving cultivation, I'm afraid the other elders will also be uneasy."

Figures emerged from various parts of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, watching the alchemy tribulation unfolding above the Boundless Palace from afar.

In the next instant, the clouds surged and churned, and bolts of fierce and domineering lightning struck down, their power seemingly immense.

A dark purple jade cauldron flew out of the Wuji Hall, spinning around. Suddenly, a golden light burst out from the cauldron, revealing a golden calf. This calf was the Hedao Pill, which had given birth to a pill spirit.

The golden calf had bright, intelligent eyes as it constantly dodged the powerful lightning bolts that struck down from the clouds. Sometimes it would inevitably be struck by a few bolts, but these bolts that struck it would turn into patterns.

If it weren't for the rich fragrance of elixir in the air, others would have thought that this golden calf undergoing tribulation was a spiritual treasure.

Not long after, the tribulation was nearing its end, and the intense heavenly lightning disappeared.

As for the extremely dense crimson clouds in the sky, they surged and finally carried the golden calf back into the dark purple jade cauldron.

boom!
The jade cauldron closed, not a trace of medicinal fragrance leaked out, and all the essence of the medicine was contained and entered into that Spirit-Creating Pill.

"Congratulations, Master, on successfully refining the peerless elixir!"

"The elixir has been successfully made! Congratulations, Master!"

"."

The two nominal disciples of Li Qing in the hall had already been awakened by the commotion. After seeing the pill tribulation dissipate, they repeatedly expressed their joy.

They were all unaware that their master possessed such profound knowledge in alchemy, even capable of refining pills imbued with spiritual energy.

Li Qing did not respond. He squinted at the dark purple jade cauldron that had flown back, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The Dao-Merging Pill, which contains the essence of pills, is of immeasurable value and its medicinal effects are astonishing!

Immediately, Li Qing set up various restrictions to tightly seal off the hall. He knew that these high-grade pills containing pill spirits were quite capable of escaping, and they might escape from the Wuji Hall if he wasn't careful. It was impossible not to take precautions.

"Senior Yuji, you may begin opening the cauldron!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark purple jade cauldron was slowly opened, and a golden light instantly flew out from the mouth of the cauldron.

Fortunately, Li Qing was prepared. He controlled the restrictions to seal off the hall and grabbed the golden calf in his hand.

"Moo~!"

The little golden bull was quite strong, constantly nudging Li Qing's palm, but it couldn't break free. After a long time, the little golden bull finally came to a standstill.

Feeling the heavy weight in his palm, Li Qing smiled with delight.

He gained a lot during his century of seclusion. He not only successfully transformed his cultivation method into the "Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing" (Scripture of Limitless Tribulation), but also refined four batches of Dao-Merging Pills!
One of the batches encountered a slight mishap during the refining process, resulting in the complete loss of all the essence of the medicinal herbs inside.

However, Li Qing was already quite satisfied. Four out of five furnaces had been completed, and a peerless precious pill with a spirit had been born from one of them. The harvest was quite substantial.

During this time, he had many conversations with the spirit of the medicine cauldron and learned some information about her. In her previous life, she was a powerful human in the Nine Desolate Continent of the Spirit Realm, with the Dharma name Yu Ji and the cultivation level of the early Mahayana stage.

"You'd better get some rest this time. Kid, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

The dark purple jade cauldron spun and flew up, gradually shrinking into a tiny speck, which then landed on a strand of hair near Li Qing's ear.

With four furnaces of Dao Integration Pills and the little golden ox in his hand, Li Qing now possesses a total of twenty-six precious pills capable of enhancing the power of the Nascent Soul stage. Any one of them, if sold, would cause a huge uproar in the cultivation world, and every force would do its utmost to compete for it.

Li Qing would never be foolish enough to sell these pills; wealth is far less important than one's own strength.

"With these pills, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief in my short-term cultivation of the Integration Stage."

As he spoke, Li Qing prepared to sit down cross-legged again to carefully reflect on his current state and changes.

But not long after, a cheerful voice rang out from outside the hall.

"Hahaha, congratulations Elder Wuji on successfully refining a batch of peerless pills. Just now, I accidentally smelled a trace of the pill's fragrance and felt a slight disturbance in my own bottleneck."

"I wonder how many pills Elder Wuji has completed this time? Would you be willing to part with one of them in a trade with this old man?"

"I have been stuck at the peak of the early stage of the Integration Realm for a long time, and for this reason I am willing to offer a peerless treasure—the Lonely Star Meteorite Jade!"

The newcomer was an old man in a yellow robe with a weathered face. He had lost all his hair and eyebrows, and his appearance was somewhat comical. This man was a highly senior elder of the Refining Heaven Pavilion, Venerable Star Luo.

The value of the Silent Star Meteorite is indeed not low; if there were enough of them, they could serve as the main material for refining Heavenly Treasures.

However, Li Qing had no intention of trading with him. He walked out of the Wuji Hall, cupped his fists towards the bald old man, and said, "Elder Xingluo is joking. I don't even have enough of these pills for myself, and I have no intention of trading them with others."

Seemingly expecting this answer, Venerable Xingluo chuckled and said, "I see. Since Elder Wuji has said so, then this old man will not insist."

"However, Elder Wuji's alchemy skills are so profound, I wonder if you would be willing to refine pills for me once in the future? I have almost collected all the spiritual herbs for the Dao Integration Pill, and I only need one Dao Source Flower to start refining it."

Li Qing's lips twitched slightly. Daoyuan Flower was the main ingredient for refining the Dao Integration Pill, while the other auxiliary ingredients were much easier to collect.

He was about to refuse when Dingling Yuji transmitted a message to him: "Help me agree, but on the condition that it is Jixing Meteorite Jade Marrow. If you don't have it, then forget about it." Upon hearing this, Li Qing said calmly, "Of course, no problem. If you have collected the Dao Source Flower, I can help you open the furnace and refine pills."

"I'm not interested in the Lonely Star Meteorite, but I'm more interested in its chalcedony."

Elder Xingluo's expression changed slightly, and he became somewhat troubled: "I don't have any Silent Starfall Jade Marrow. Elder Wuji, could you perhaps offer a different condition?"

"Don't believe him. The Silent Star Meteorite is a spiritual material that is born from the fall of stars in the Nine Heavens Void. When it is collected, it will definitely be accompanied by jade marrow. This person uses Xingluo as his Daoist name, so he must be cultivating the laws of planets and stars. He must often enter the Nine Heavens Void to collect spiritual materials for refining weapons."

"Hehe, if Elder Xingluo doesn't have the Silent Starfall Jade Marrow, then things will be a bit troublesome. I plan to continue my seclusion for another thousand years or so, and I don't think I'll be coming out to meet anyone anytime soon," Li Qing said with a smile.

Elder Xingluo's expression changed several times before he said, "Alright, but I only have a section of the Silent Starfall Jade Marrow the size of a thumb. I can't give you any more."

"No problem. Elder Xingluo can come to me if he collects the Dao Source Flower in the future."

And so, a verbal agreement was reached, and Li Qing returned to the palace.

"Senior, I wonder what use you have for the Starfall Jade Marrow? I remember it is a precious spiritual material for refining Star Dao spiritual treasures."

Jade Spirit Venerable replied, "It only helped me get rid of the medicine cauldron body, you don't need to worry about it."

"If anyone asks you to refine pills in the future, don't rush to refuse. Let me make the decision."

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits. Remember why I said it was a waste for you to eat so many Xuan Yun Fruits?"

“In the past, I created a pill formula called the Nascent Soul Solidifying Pill, which is made with the Mysterious Cloud Fruit as the main ingredient. This pill can help cultivators consolidate and condense their Nascent Soul. If you take one when you break through to the Mahayana stage in the future, you can save a lot of effort when solidifying your own Nascent Soul.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes lit up slightly, surprised that the Xuan Yun Fruit had such a use.

He had never heard of any pill in the world that could provide some assistance in the breakthrough to the Mahayana stage!
“No problem. High-level alchemists are even rarer than weapon refiners in the human cultivation world. I think many people will come to me in the future,” Li Qing said with a smile.

Jade Spirit Lord fell silent and said nothing more.

After bidding farewell to Elder Xingluo, Li Qing returned to the hall, carefully reflecting on his current state and changes.

The true essence in the dantian and dantian had completely turned from crimson to gray, resembling a chaotic sea.

In this gray ocean, a chaotic Dao seed was buried by true essence.

After switching to the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture, he could still use the Six Paths Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire within his body to assist his cultivation, but the efficiency was far less than that of the Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique.

He had no regrets about this. After reaching the Integration Stage, the efficiency of the Crimson Blaze Heaven-Burning Technique in aiding cultivation with the help of the spiritual fire of heaven and earth was negligible.

The most important ability to temper one's own spiritual power with spiritual fire has been retained, which can be considered a great help.

Furthermore, from now on, Li Qing is able to use his own true essence to upgrade the grade of the spirit fire, causing it to undergo a transformation.

However, each upgrade of the grade of a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire requires a tremendous amount of true essence, which takes a considerable amount of time.

"Now my true essence and magical power are filled with the characteristics of rebirth after calamity. If I encounter any calamity in the future, I can directly use the power of true essence to transform myself."

"It's somewhat similar to the Phoenix Nirvana Technique, but it seems to have fewer restrictions."

"In addition, there is a very interesting secret technique recorded in the Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing that can temporarily merge the six spiritual fires into one, transforming them into a divine fire with extremely terrifying power."

However, the prerequisite for this secret technique is that all six spiritual flames need to be upgraded in rank using true essence. Only in this way can they be unified under the fusion of his true essence.

The mana required to unleash this divine power is enormous; even those at the Integration stage would find it difficult to use it repeatedly for extended periods. In truth, it should be considered a secret technique at the Mahayana stage.

After carefully experiencing the changes that had occurred within himself, Li Qing took a pale golden Dao Integration Pill and swallowed it directly.

boom!
The magical power that had not increased significantly for a long time surged in his dantian like a tidal wave.

The astonishing medicinal power was almost like an explosion, continuously spreading throughout his body. Li Qing hurriedly summoned the Six Paths Spiritual Fire to assist in refining this immense medicinal power and transforming it into his own true essence.

In this way, his true essence increased little by little at a visible speed, and the effect of just one pill exceeded all the hard work he had put into cultivation since he advanced to the Integration Stage.

After a long while, Li Qing let out a long breath. His cultivation level had improved significantly, and his aura had become much stronger.

"As expected of the Dao Integration Pill, its medicinal power is truly remarkable. I'm afraid I won't need more than a dozen pills to break through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm."

"The number of pills is limited, so it's best not to take too many in a row."

To maximize the medicinal power of the pill, Li Qing planned to take one pill, then meditate for ten years to fully refine its power before taking the second one.

Thus, Li Qing calmed down and began to quietly regulate his breathing, circulating the Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Li Qing was about to swallow the second Dao Integration Pill, a secret order suddenly came from outside the Wuji Hall, from the Pavilion Master of the Refining Heaven Pavilion!
"Master, it seems the Pavilion Master has sent someone with a secret order."

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes and calmly said, "Bring it in."

The secret order was sealed with a special restriction, and only cultivators who had deciphered the two volumes of the "Refining Heaven Scripture" could decipher it. Otherwise, if someone forcibly read the secret order, it would destroy itself and vanish into nothingness.

The secrecy measures were excellent, and Li Qing already had some guesses about the contents of the secret order.

He used the secret techniques of the "Refining Heaven Scripture" to decipher the secret order. A halo of light immediately entered his brow, and the secret order turned into dust.

"The Celestial Venerable has summoned you! The time for refining the treasure has arrived! Proceed to the council hall immediately!"

Sure enough!

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Qing was still extremely shocked at this moment.

The Celestial Venerable is truly ready and is about to begin refining the Chaos Treasure using acquired methods!
If successful, this will be a monumental achievement recorded in the entire history of cultivation in the Spirit Realm, and will shock all races in the entire Spirit Realm.

And if it fails, it will cause a sensation.
