Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Could it be that I'm cultivating incorrectly?" Xu Jingtian wondered to himself.

There are no masters here to pass on his skills, so he has to figure it out on his own. This means that once he enters the Wan Dan Pavilion, his cultivation progress will be greatly reduced.

"It's okay, we can always start over!" Xu Jingtian has no shortage of courage.

Thinking back on the past few years, I've diligently practiced martial arts every day without a moment's slackening, which has laid the foundation for my entry into the Brahma Sect. From now on, I will cultivate assiduously as possible, attain immortality as soon as possible, and then go find my parents whom I miss day and night.

Therefore, Xu Jingtian was not discouraged by this setback. On the contrary, he studied even more diligently.

If once isn't enough, try twice; if twice isn't enough, try again...

Xu Jingtian displayed an unprecedented enthusiasm, throwing himself wholeheartedly into cultivation.

"It's done!"

An hour later, he discovered that a wisp of spiritual energy beside him was slowly entering his body. He felt a faint sensation as the energy began to circulate within his body.

Xu Jingtian was immediately thrilled, as if he had embarked on the path of cultivation.

It's that easy!

But just as he was getting excited, his meditative state was broken, and he was immediately brought back to his original state.

"No way!" Xu Jingtian dared not be careless and had to start all over again.

Fortunately, having learned from his previous experience, he knew the way and this time it went much more smoothly. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xu Jingtian was back in form.

A wisp of spiritual energy was slowly drawn into his body, then two wisps, and slowly, Xu Jingtian absorbed all the wisps of spiritual energy surrounding him into his body.

After the spiritual energy entered his body, it traveled along his meridians and quickly reached his dantian, bringing a warm sensation to his entire body.

Xu Jingtian suddenly entered a mysterious state, as if he had entered another world.

It was a wonderful feeling; the whole world was quiet, and only my body was floating in the air, gently, like a flower drifting in the wind. Slowly, it felt as if I was surrounded by bubbles, warm and comfortable, like lying in my mother's arms.

In this gentle embrace, time seems to stand still, its flow ceases, and even its own existence is lost...

He didn't know how much time had passed when the bubble suddenly burst, startling him awake.

When Xu Jingtian opened his eyes, he found himself still sitting cross-legged in meditation, and the surroundings were the same as before, with no changes.

Did he actually succeed? If he did succeed, he didn't sense any spiritual energy at all.

Even when I focused my mind and concentrated my energy, my body was still empty, and I couldn't sense any spiritual energy at all.

"Ah, it's all my fault for being too impatient. Elder Ochi said we need to take it slow, and it seems he was right. Let's leave it at that for today." With that, he yawned repeatedly, lay down on the wooden bed, and slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, Xu Jingtian got up early to assist Ochi in refining pills.

Upon seeing Xu Jingtian dressed in all black, Ochi was immediately struck by his appearance.

Xu Jingtian used to be dressed in tattered clothes and covered in filth, looking no better than a beggar on the street. Now, dressed in clean clothes, he is a handsome young man, especially with his high nose bridge and a spiritual air about him, making him look somewhat like a Taoist novice.

However, Xu Jingtian's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was slightly tired, which of course did not escape Ochi's eyes.

"What's wrong, Elder Ochi?" Xu Jingtian was still unaware, thinking he had done something wrong.

"Call me whatever you want," Ochi said, not arguing back, but with a dark face, "Do you know this is the Myriad Pills Pavilion, a vital area of ​​the sect? We can't afford any mistakes here. If you don't get a good rest at night, how will you assist me in refining pills during the day?"

"Elder Ochi, last night I practiced the breathing technique as you instructed..." Xu Jingtian explained.

"Since you've followed me, you need to study harder. I don't care how diligently you cultivate at night, just make sure you're energetic during the day. If there's even the slightest mistake that delays the alchemy process, I won't show you any mercy!" Ochi said coldly.

"This disciple understands!" Xu Jingtian said, bowing his head.

Xu Jingtian thought to himself, "How can Elder Yuezhi be so fickle? On one hand, he complains about my low cultivation level, but on the other hand, he doesn't support my cultivation. How can my cultivation improve?" He had to assist Yuezhi in refining pills during the day, and he couldn't even persist in cultivating at night. No wonder his cultivation couldn't improve! This Yuezhi is truly domineering.

Seeing that Xu Jingtian was very compliant, Ochi's expression softened slightly. He casually picked up a bamboo slip from the wall and handed it to Xu Jingtian.

"The time is perfect today. I'm preparing to use the Golden Sun Crimson Cloud Furnace to refine pills. The pill I'm refining this time is called the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill, which is much more valuable than the Spirit-Solidifying and Mind-Concentrating Pill. There can't be any mistakes. This is the pill formula, which lists the materials and quantities needed for refining the pill. Please read it carefully."

Xu Jingtian took it in his hand and saw that it was covered with dozens of materials, including "Creation Grass" and "Blood Refining Flower", as well as "Hundred-Year-Old Corridor Armor Wood" and "Thousand-Year-Old Youxizhi". The bamboo slip was almost completely filled with them.

"I'll make the preparations first. Go downstairs to the storage room and make sure you gather all the materials within an hour, then transport them to the alchemy room. Remember, there are many rooms in the storage room, and most of them contain precious spiritual herbs. Don't wander into any unrelated rooms," Ochi instructed.

"Yes!" Xu Jingtian said, holding the bamboo slips in both hands.

He was a little excited as he was about to witness Ochi refining the elixir.

A towering Bagua furnace, a highly skilled immortal, and a curious alchemy boy beside him… This dreamlike scene alone would excite him for a long time. Although there was a lot of material on the bamboo slips, it could not hide Xu Jingtian's excitement.

"Wait, this is a token. You can't get in without it." Ochi took out another jade token and handed it to him.

"Understood, Elder Ochi."

Xu Jingtian then realized what was happening and hurriedly took it. The jade pendant looked very antique, and it felt heavy in his hand, with a faint cool sensation emanating from inside.

The storage room was on the basement level; Xu Jingtian had been there once before and it was very easy to find. He excitedly arrived at the foot of the pavilion with the jade token, only to be blocked by a tall stone door.

Xu Jingtian pushed hard, but the heavy stone door didn't budge.

"Ah!" He put all his strength into his arms and pushed hard, with a force of at least four or five hundred pounds, but the stone door remained unchanged.

Could it be that this stone door isn't something you can push? He took out the jade token and examined it from all angles, but he didn't know how to use it.

Xu Jingtian gave a wry smile and slapped his forehead: "That Ochi is trying to trick me again. Why won't he even tell me how to activate it?"

Just as he was at his wit's end, the stone door creaked open a crack.

"Who are you?" An old voice suddenly rang out from inside the door, startling Xu Jingtian, who hadn't expected there to be someone inside.

He squinted and looked into the doorway. There was an old man with a full head of white hair, wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe. He was hunched over and had a very old face.

Could he be the elder guarding the materials in the storage room? Yes, that must be it. It's only natural to have a highly skilled Taoist priest guarding this important place for medicinal pills.

"Oh, I am the newly arrived Daoist disciple Xu Jingtian. Elder Yuezhi sent me to collect alchemy materials. May I ask who you are?" Xu Jingtian said respectfully to him.

"Hehe, another newcomer. I am the guardian elder of alchemy here. All the alchemy materials here are under my jurisdiction, and I am also responsible for the safekeeping of the finished pills." After looking him up and down, the old man muttered to himself, "I hope this one will get his wish."

"This is the token." Xu Jingtian took out the jade token and respectfully handed it over with both hands. The person in front of him was Elder Shou Dan of the Brahma Sect, who looked like an ordinary old man. Could he possibly possess great supernatural powers?

The old man held the jade pendant in his hand, and without him making any move, the jade pendant emitted a crystal-clear luster, becoming brighter and brighter, and a few tiny characters could be vaguely seen inside.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Jingtian realized that the words "Fantian Sect Wandan Pavilion" were actually written there.

"Come in," the old man said, handing the jade pendant back to him.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the stone door opened silently, revealing a huge space inside.

Xu Jingtian was surprised to find that the storage room was huge; he wondered if the entire mountain had been hollowed out.

From here, dozens more levels extend downwards, each several meters high, densely packed with small stone walls. Presumably, the alchemy materials are stored in the caves behind these stone walls.
