Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

The Bodhi Pill Gathering concluded successfully, and this Bodhi Pill Gathering is destined to cause quite a stir in the Three Realms, because during this gathering, Zhou Yi's sermons helped dozens of alchemy masters advance to become Grandmasters of Alchemy!

In the Three Realms, alchemy is generally divided into three levels: first, second, and third grade spiritual pills, which are generally referred to as low-level, intermediate, and high-level alchemists.

Elixirs of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades belong to alchemy masters of the upper, middle, and lower ranks.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth grade divine pills are called the Grandmaster of Alchemy.

However, there are distinctions among Grandmasters. Those who can refine King-grade Divine Pills are generally called Pill Kings. Since different Grandmasters specialize in different pills, there are different Pill Kings.

Zhou Yi is capable of refining the King-grade Divine Pill, a ninth-order divine pill!

He is definitely a top-tier alchemy master in the Three Realms.

The appearance of dozens of Grandmasters of Alchemy sparked a frenzy among countless forces, but most of them joined the Heavenly Court. After all, these Grandmasters of Alchemy, though powerful, were still formidable.

But it hasn't reached the point where the Saints' Sect is paying attention!

They are usually invited by top sects and forces that are at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals. Rather than joining a sect or force of Great Luo Golden Immortals, it is better to join the Heavenly Court, which provides merit-based wages every year.

With all the benefits, it's definitely the best place to go, except for the Holy Religion!

This alchemy gathering has also increased the attention given to the Book of Changes throughout the Three Realms. Initially, it was thought to be just good luck, a blessing from Pangu, but now it seems...

This Pangu Clan's Celestial Lord is truly quite capable!

Zhou Yi didn't care whether he was skilled or not; in any case, he had gained a lot this time!

Four of the six Life Creation Pills have been sold!

Two Guanyin Bodhisattva statues were sold, while the other two were bought by the Jade Emperor's people. Not to mention, the Jade Emperor was very generous and directly paid the merits, allowing Zhou Yi to earn a full one million merits!

Add to that the 500,000 merits from Guanyin Bodhisattva and the 100,000 merits from the Heavenly Proclamation!

In other words, Zhou Yi gained a total of 1.6 million merits from this Mountain Bodhi Pill Gathering. Adding these to his previous merits, he now has several million merits. If he uses them sparingly, he might be able to cultivate a Heavenly Dao Divine Dao Fruit!

Zhou Yi thought to himself...

Of course, the harvest this time was not only merit, but also two innate merit golden lotus seeds and a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure alchemy furnace, an alchemy furnace made by a sage.

With this alchemy furnace, refining pills will be much more convenient in the future!

But the biggest surprise doesn't stop there...

Within the Golden Core Primordial Space, a golden gourd vine gleamed brightly, brimming with vitality, while three innate lotus plants stood quietly within the Primordial Space.

Yes, the innate gourd vine has come back to life...

Not only did the innate gourd vine come back to life, but the innate merit golden lotus also grew, as did the nine-colored creation divine lotus!

Originally, the Nine-Colored Creation Lotus was only a primordial divine object and had not yet reached the level of a primordial spiritual root!

But now.....

There are already signs that it has been promoted to a low-grade innate spiritual root...

At this moment, Zhou Yi finally understood the extraordinary power of the Primordial Dao Qi within his body. It was capable of repairing the innate spiritual source and even promoting the innate divine object to advance into an innate spiritual root.

Especially the Golden Lotus Seed of Innate Merit!

indeed!

Of the four lotus platforms, only the Twelve-Petaled Merit Golden Lotus is the most mysterious, capable of absorbing merit to nurture innate merit golden lotus seeds, and then cultivating them with merit.

It can transform the Golden Lotus of Merit into a primordial spiritual root, and the primordial spiritual root can be refined into a primordial spiritual treasure, thus serving as both a spiritual root and a treasure.

It is truly mysterious and profound!

The other lotus platforms, such as the Black Lotus of Annihilation and the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, even if they nurture lotus seeds, the offspring they cultivate are only acquired lotus flowers!

The Creation Lotus is the one among the four lotus platforms that inherited the most origin from the Chaos Creation Lotus!

However...

Their descendants are at most innate divine beings, but none of them have innate spiritual roots.

And now...

The lotus seed, which normally requires merit to cultivate into the Innate Merit Golden Lotus, was cultivated by Zhou Yi using only the primordial Dao Qi within his body...

"Unfortunately, this energy consumption is too insane!"

Yes, the energy consumption is insane!

The Primordial Dao Qi in the Golden Core Primordial Space did not appear out of thin air!

These are the magical power that Zhou Yi has refined and comprehended within his body, transformed under the influence of the Great Dao's power of creation. They can also be freely transformed into Zhou Yi's primordial magical power.

Now, with the two innate merit lotuses absorbing the nutrients and a top-grade innate gourd spiritual root absorbing the nutrients, Zhou Yi still needs to cultivate and advance to the Golden Immortal realm!

How can we withstand this kind of consumption!

Unless you refine a Dao pill-level elixir to replenish your mana, like the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, don't even think about fully cultivating the Golden Lotus, the Green Lotus, and the Gourd Immortal Vine!

It can be said that at this moment, all of Zhou Yi's One Yuan Golden Cores have been completely consumed and are still insignificant!

Fortunately, the gourd spirit root has already blossomed with seven small flowers. It is estimated that as long as he perseveres, he will be able to successfully cultivate seven gourd spirit treasures of the superior innate spirit treasure level.

Zhou Yi is quite looking forward to it right now!

At this moment, Zhou Yi was eager to improve his cultivation and break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!

With the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, Zhou Yi might be able to try refining Dao Pills!

Currently at the Celestial Immortal cultivation level...

That is not enough!

"Hmm... Since my Primordial Dao Qi has such a profound effect on spiritual roots, I wonder if it can be used to cultivate innate spiritual roots?"

At that moment, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something.

With a thought, a nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined peach the size of a bowl appeared in front of Zhou Yi!

Yes, a peach from nine thousand years ago!

The peaches of the Queen Mother of the West were transformed by the power of the Heavenly Dao when the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao. They were divided into three thousand six hundred, and all three thousand six hundred trees were innate spiritual roots.

However, only the nine-thousand-year-old peaches possess a wisp of innate origin, while those three-thousand-year-old and six-thousand-year-old peaches only have innate spiritual power left, having lost the unique mysteries of innate spiritual roots.

The spiritual power of the nine-thousand-year-old peach is comparable to that of a superior innate spiritual root, but its innate origin is even inferior to that of the innate spiritual fruit nurtured by a low-grade innate spiritual root in the primordial world!

It can be said that the ten top-tier innate spiritual roots were completely ruined.

But there's nothing we can do about it!

The reason why the Ren Water Peach Tree is operated in this way is to suppress the fortune of the Heavenly Court. Unlike Donghuang Taiyi, Haotian does not have the innate treasure Chaos Bell to suppress the fortune of the Heavenly Court!

The only option left is to use innate spiritual roots!

Twelve hundred top-grade innate spiritual roots, even though the fruits of the spiritual roots have turned into garbage!

But it is still a top-grade innate spiritual root!

With so many innate spiritual roots, their effect in suppressing destiny is no less than that of innate treasures.

However, the Heavenly Court now has the Investiture of the Gods, an unparalleled treasure that has been upgraded to a Chaos Treasure, to suppress its fortune, so it no longer needs the Peach Tree!

Looking at the peach in front of him, Zhou Yi inhaled its essence, and all of it was absorbed, leaving only the peach pit.

Previously, Zhou Yi used peaches to refine elixirs, refining them as a whole without leaving any peach pits or anything like that.

It is common knowledge throughout the Three Realms that peach pits from the Immortal Peach Tree cannot be propagated!

However, Zhou Yi now wants to give it a try...

After consuming the essence of the peaches, the magical power within the body increased wildly. It was absorbed by the golden elixir, and the primordial Dao energy within the primordial space also increased wildly.

"I must say, the innate spiritual power of a nine-thousand-year-old peach is truly extraordinary; it's probably comparable to the combined magical power of a ninth-rank celestial immortal!"
