Chapter 363 Breakthrough to the Xuandan Realm

The flames rose, and a handful of flames burned between the three legs of the red-crowned crane. The flames were aqua blue and looked very beautiful.

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged in front of the giant star-falling cauldron, his face calm, as if he was not refining medicine, but rather making a fire and cooking.

After a while, Zhong Lin opened his eyes and waved his right hand. The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and at the same time, hundreds of medicinal herbs wrapped in spiritual essence were thrown into it.

Whoosh!

Whoohoo!
A huge fire was raging, and the wind and thunder were moving together.

Just now, the furnace was heated with spiritual fire, and now it is calcined with martial fire. The impurities in these spiritual medicines are extracted with fierce fire, leaving only the purest essence.

……

Three days later.

The Yinxu Dragon Fire under the giant Starfall Cauldron has become the size of a fist. It is no longer as fierce as before, but like a trickle of drizzle.

The entire cave was filled with a kind of elixir energy, which became increasingly dense.

Yu Shu had long stopped sitting there watching the show. Instead, she stood in front of the cave entrance, using her own spiritual energy to seal the gaps left by the irregularity of the boulder blocking the door, fearing that the leakage of the spiritual energy would attract other warriors or monsters.

The main reason is that the Earth Spirit Divine Grass was added to the Golden Source Pill. This thing has the effect of improving blood. Didn’t you see the two poisonous beasts fighting to the death for it? Now that the Earth Spirit Divine Grass has been refined into a pill, its effect can be said to have been brought to the extreme. If any of it is leaked, who knows how much turmoil it will cause.

Another half day passed.

"All right."

Zhong Lin stood up suddenly, waved his hand to extinguish the Yinxu Dragon Fire, and at the same time opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.

What was strange was that as the elixir finally solidified, the rich fragrance of the elixir that filled the cave disappeared in an instant, or in other words, all the fish returned to the sea and poured into the Golden Source Pill.

When Yu Shu heard Zhong Lin say "OK", she hurried over, her eyes filled with extreme excitement, and she looked into the cauldron.

Three pills that looked like golden beans were lying quietly in the alchemy furnace.

"Okay, is this the Golden Source Pill?" Yu Shu murmured.

He started practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and achieved transcendental perfection at the age of sixteen, but he has been forcing himself not to condense the elixir and break through. Isn't it all for this day?

Now when the Jinyuan Pill appeared in front of her, Yu Shu felt like she was in a dream. She stretched out her hand and grabbed at the empty space between the pill furnaces, fearing that everything was an illusion.

"All three Golden Origin Fruits have become pills, not bad."

Zhong Lin laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to slap the alchemy furnace. A stream of spiritual energy immediately passed along the furnace to the bottom of the pills. The three pills jumped up as if they were possessed by spirits, flew high in the air, and were then all collected into the jade bottle.

Yu Shu's gaze kept shifting, finally stopping on the jade bottle.

After shaking the bottle, the three Golden Source Pills rolled slightly in the jade bottle, making a tinkling sound when they collided with each other, like real metal.

Zhong Lin teased, "How about it, are you going to make a breakthrough today?"

"Yes, of course. I have been waiting for this day for five years. It's just a mental shock. It won't have any impact." Yu Shu said loudly.

"Then let's get started! I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Neither of them was the type to be indecisive. Zhong Lin directly took out two Golden Source Pills from the jade bottle and divided them up. As for the remaining one, he put it into the Donghuang Bell.

Yu Shu had promised before that after the pill was completed, she would only take one, and the rest would belong to Zhong Lin.

Although Yu Shu had saved his life before, without Zhong Lin, Yu Shu could not have taken the Golden Source Fruit and the Earth Yuan Divine Grass, let alone refined them into pills.

I will repay you for saving my life later.

"You come first! I will protect you, and then you can protect me after you break through." Yu Shu said.

"it is good."

Zhong Lin did not hesitate, and he did not have any experience in observing others' breakthroughs. After all, he had absorbed Chen Jia's memories, which included the process of his breakthrough.

He sat cross-legged on the bluestone, took out a Juding Pill from the storage bracelet and swallowed it.

Juding means the gathering of three flowers into a cauldron, which is a must-have for integrating the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit and breaking through the Xuandan realm.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a stream of medicine instantly flowed through his body. Wherever it passed, the originally calm spiritual energy, blood, and soul could not help but vibrate.

Just like tofu is seasoned with brine, Judingdan is the final brine.

The so-called mysterious elixir is condensed from the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, and at this moment the final trigger has finally arrived.

Rumble!
Endless vitality of heaven and earth rolled in and rushed towards Zhong Lin madly.

Yu Shu, who was standing by, had an idea and waved her right hand. A large number of spirit stones were thrown over and shattered directly into rich vital energy that tightly wrapped Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin, who was sitting there, seemed to be covered with a thick fog at this moment. He was looming, real and unreal, making it inexplicably difficult to see through.

The practice of martial arts is in the sun, moon, and stars, in human essence, energy, and spirit. At this moment, Zhong Lin's physical body, spiritual essence, and soul suddenly converged and merged into one under the effect of the Juding Pill.

The next moment, Zhong Lin woke up, then stared up at the sky. He opened his mouth and spit out a pill, which slowly floated into the air, emitting a powerful aura.

That pill was actually the Xuandan that had just condensed in Zhong Lin's body. However, the Xuandan was just formed and looked relatively rough at this moment, not as round as it should be.

The moment it was spit out, the weather changed drastically. The mysterious pill was like the center of heaven and earth at this moment. All the vital energy of heaven and earth condensed within a radius of hundreds of feet gathered towards the mysterious pill frantically.

At the same time, the heaven and earth energy that permeated the surroundings suddenly became agitated, and with a bang, it turned into a raging fire, which actually wrapped up the Xuandan.

The scorching temperature began to radiate terror.

It spun around in the flames, adding a hint of golden light with every rotation.

"One true pill condenses the profound essence, and a hundred times of spiritual fire refines it into a golden pill."

Zhong Lin stared intently at his Xuandan that was floating in the air, and he was also sitting cross-legged in the air, his aura ethereal and detached.

Human potential is limited. Only by constantly borrowing strength from heaven can we break through our limits time and time again and gain stronger and deeper potential.

Tempering the spiritual body is one time, and now condensing the mysterious pill is also one time.

Melt the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit into a virtual pill, and then spray it out of the body. With the help of the spiritual fire transformed from the essence of heaven and earth, it is continuously tempered like refining elixir in a furnace, and finally turned into a real mysterious pill.

The heaven and earth are a big cauldron, and the Xuandan is the elixir in the cauldron.

Zhong Lin is very familiar with this process.

Of course, tempering the golden elixir with spiritual fire is not that simple. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is fierce. If you are not careful, the elixir may be damaged, just like failing to refine the elixir and finally turning it into a handful of burnt ash. Many people fail because of fear or lack of preparation.

The lighter ones were seriously injured, and the more serious ones died on the spot.

For example, Feng Lan Jianjun in the Falling Star Islands failed to break through and only condensed a Void Pill. Although it possessed some of the power of the Profound Pill Realm, it was still in the Transcendent Realm. When the Profound Pill fell on his head, the spiritual fire transformed from the Yuan Qi tempered not only the Profound Pill, but also Zhong Lin's body.

Zhong Lin could feel the changes in the essence of life, and a sense of joy surged in his heart. That was the joy of the most essential evolution of life.

Time was like quicksand, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. The Xuandan, which was originally just a dazzling light, suddenly emitted a bright golden light, illuminating the darkness like a real sun.

Zhong Lin stared intently at the completely formed Xuandan. Now he only needed to swallow the Xuandan into his stomach, which would mean a successful breakthrough, from the extraordinary realm to the Xuanguan realm, and become a true Xuandan realm expert. Chen Jia was only at this realm back then.

At this moment, Zhong Lin's gaze passed through the dazzling golden light and looked into the interior of the Xuandan.

Xuandan has different grades. The higher the grade, not only will the combat power at the same level be stronger, but it also represents potential.

Condensing the Mysterious Pill is to borrow strength from heaven and rebuild the foundation. Only with deeper potential can one go further.

Just like a building, only by laying a deep enough foundation can the building be built higher.

The grades of Xuandan are divided according to the strength of the golden light. This is what is meant by the immortality of gold and the unity of all things.

The lowest grade of Xuan Dan, which is the ninth grade, has a dim golden light.

The higher the quality, the brighter the golden light.

It is said that the first-grade Xuandan is also known as the Immortal Golden Elixir, which is known for its immortal golden nature and great freedom.

The most intuitive manifestation is in defense. The fighting between Xuandan realm warriors is based on destroying the opponent's Xuandan. If the Xuandan is broken, the opponent will be disabled even if he doesn't die.

Low-grade Xuandan can be easily shattered, while the higher the quality, the harder it is. The first-grade Immortal Golden Pill is said to be indestructible, which is a testament to this.

Zhong Lin looked at his own Xuandan that was barely emitting golden light and sighed slightly.

"Seventh-grade Xuandan, as expected!"

Being able to condense a seventh-grade Xuandan was within Zhong Lin's expectations. He only had the "essence" of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. After all, whether it was the "Dragon Elephant Golden Body" that tempered the physical body, or the five elements spirit body condensed in the spiritual fetus realm, they were all polishing the physical body's qi and blood.

In terms of "Qi", he practices the self-created "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong", which is barely a ground-level technique.

Needless to say, it's "divine" and convenient, it's all thanks to the elixir, there's nothing outstanding about it.

Being able to condense a seventh-grade Xuandan is already a blessing from heaven. Most warriors in the world can only condense the lower three-grade Xuandan, just like Zhang Shaorong, the leader of Tianya Pavilion.

Not everyone practices heaven-level skills, takes top-level elixirs, and visualizes top-level atlases like the disciples of the holy land. The lower three grades of Xuandan are the norm.

Calm your mind and steady your spirit.

Zhong Lin opened his mouth and took a breath. The spinning black pill dimmed in an instant and gradually fell in front of him, ignoring his physical body and returning directly to his dantian.

The moment Xuan Dan returned to its place, Zhong Lin's aura continued to rise.

"The spiritual fire of heaven and earth refines the golden elixir. My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven. The mysterious elixir is finally made, but it is not enough."

A divine light flashed in Zhong Lin's eyes, and he directly swallowed the Golden Source Fruit that had been prepared long ago into his stomach.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a golden torrent burst out, rushing straight to the dantian like a dragon entering the sea, and then sank into the seventh-grade Xuandan.

Rumble!
At this moment, the originally dim Xuandan suddenly became like a scorching sun, emitting infinite light and heat, and the scorching golden light illuminated the entire Dantian.

With the support of the power of the Golden Source Pill, the Xuandan became brighter and brighter, and more and more majestic. The Yuan Qi of heaven and earth that had originally dissipated suddenly rolled in again, and it was even more magnificent than before.

Yu Shu's eyes were also extremely bright, and she was even more excited about the effect of the Jinyuan Pill.

With a thought, a gourd half the height of a man appeared in his hand. His palm vibrated and the gourd shattered directly. A pool of liquid emitting masculine power, as white as jade, appeared. It was the Yuanye Ganlu.

As soon as the nectar appeared, it was directly attracted by Zhong Lin, transformed into a powerful vital energy and surged away, and then all of it was absorbed and sent into the Xuandan.

laugh!
It was like a flaming mountain with a lake of oil thrown into it out of thin air. The golden light on Zhong Lin's Xuandan became brighter and brighter.

Zhong Lin's Xuandan transformed again at this moment, and a stream of immortal artistic conception was born from it.

While the golden elixir was transforming, Zhong Lin's body was also being tempered, and in the end, his body's lifespan was greatly increased.

At this moment, Zhong Ling only felt that the Xuandan and his body had merged into one, becoming a mysterious existence. He could vaguely feel that his lifespan had begun to soar again, reaching a thousand years.

His body became stronger again as it merged with the Xuandan, becoming so strong that it was terrifying. Every inch of his skin, every inch of his muscles and bones was changing, his blood became thicker, and every beat of his heart was like the sound of a drum.

"It's done."

Yu Shu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhong Lin also opened his eyes and slowly stood up. He felt the golden light of the Xuandan blooming in his dantian and the surging power throughout his body. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhong Lin, what grade is it? Have you condensed a top-grade Xuandan?" Yu Shu asked excitedly.

Zhong Lin subconsciously felt the Xuandan in his dantian. The Xuandan was bright all over, emitting golden light, except for some tiny spots that were unevenly distributed, like a spot on white jade. Although it was not big, it gave people a feeling of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Second grade."

"I knew it, a second-grade Xuandan, that's great. Even some of the true disciples of the holy land can't condense a second-grade Xuandan." Yu Shu said excitedly.

"It's a pity that it's still a little short of the mark, and I haven't condensed it into the first grade." Zhong Lin said regretfully.

"What are you thinking? The first-grade Xuandan is known as the Immortal Golden Pill. Even though the Jinyuan Pill has been blessed by the Earth Spirit Divine Grass, it can't do such a thing that defies fate. It's good enough to have a second-grade one."

Yu Shu rolled her eyes at Zhong Lin. If it were to be told that he had formed a second-grade Xuandan as a casual martial artist, even the disciples of the Holy Land would be jealous to the point of going crazy. Yet he was still not satisfied and was dreaming of forming a first-grade Xuandan.

Zhong Lin smiled lightly and did not refute.

"It's my turn, it's my turn, Zhong Lin, you protect me, I also want to break through."

"it is good."

Zhong Lin nodded and walked towards the cave entrance to wait.

Yu Shu took a deep breath and did not start immediately. Instead, she took out a large amount of spirit stones and essence liquid from the storage bracelet and placed them in front of her.

Then he sat cross-legged and followed the same steps, taking out a Juding Pill and swallowing it.

Zhong Lin took in the scene before him, then immersed his mind in the Xuan Dan, feeling the changes after the breakthrough.

The biggest change is naturally his lifespan. The breakthrough to the Xuandan realm also allowed Zhong Lin to live for a thousand years, truly becoming a figure of the old monster level.

You have to know that Zhong Lin is not even thirty years old yet, so his life span can be said to be very long.

The second is one's own strength. The Xuandan is formed by the fusion of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit in the furnace. When making a move, the three forces of blood, spiritual essence and soul are no longer scattered like before, but are integrated into one, becoming a new power.
