Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The dark red mist swirling inside the cave gradually dissipated.

Jiang Chuan stood at the entrance, confirming that the remaining mortal illusions in the air were thin enough to pose no threat to him, before stepping inside.

The scene inside was a complete mess.

The power of a cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm self-destructing is comparable to that of a small nuclear missile.

If it weren't for the Immortal Alliance's protective array, the entire mountain would probably have been blown into the sky.

Jiang Chuan found Yun Danzi in the deepest part of the cave.

This cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining was lying face up in the pile of rubble, his body almost charred.

But he is still alive.

The vitality of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator is truly formidable. Even with his physical body so badly damaged and his true essence nearly exhausted, he still clung to his last breath.

His eyes were half-open and half-closed, his pupils unfocused, but as Jiang Chuan's footsteps drew near, he still managed to turn his eyes and cast his gaze over.

"Fellow Daoist Lie... Lieyang..."

Yun Danzi's lips moved, and a hoarse sound like a broken bellows came from his throat.

"Misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding...I merely wanted to test your methods, fellow Daoist..."

Jiang Chuan stopped in front of him, looking down at the face that had been so arrogant and domineering just half an hour ago.

"It was a misunderstanding."

His tone revealed neither joy nor anger.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yun Danzi's eyes as he struggled to continue, "Fellow Daoist... listen to me... I've served as an alchemist on Yuanling Mountain for thirty years, and all the wealth I've accumulated... I can give it all to you! Contribution points, pills, and numerous spiritual materials... I only beg you to spare my life! I can swear an immortal oath that I will never take revenge on you in the slightest!"

As he spoke, he laboriously raised his left hand and took off the blackened storage bag from his waist.

Jiang Chuan did not reach out to take it.

Yun Danzi spoke faster, as if worried that Jiang Chuan would suddenly attack: "This humble Daoist knows many inner disciples and has many connections! ... If you wish to enter the inner sect, I can introduce and vouch for you! The cultivation resources in the inner sect are a hundred times richer than those in the outer sect. With your aptitude, as long as you can enter the inner sect, Foundation Establishment is within reach! ... Killing a cripple like me will do you no good, but if you spare my life..."

Jiang Chuan did not respond.

He was simply observing whether Yun Danzi still had any means to destroy everything.

After confirming that he had no other options, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and placed his five fingers lightly on Yun Danzi's crown.

He said calmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely spare your life."

Extract everything!

A crimson-gold chain materialized from his palm and pierced Yun Danzi's body like a living thing.

[Extraction successful! Obtained - Three Yang Qi!]

【Sanyang Qi】

[Grade: Rank 5, Tier 1]

[Note: This is a spiritual energy of Bing Fire, nurtured for a thousand years by the earth's core fire veins. It contains the purest and most intense Yang power, and encapsulates the complete insights of a cultivator. After consuming and refining it, one can directly comprehend the divine power: the Three Yang Dharma Body Mantra!]

really.

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

He had previously guessed that since the Extraction of All Things could even extract spiritual roots from a cultivator's body, the refined innate spiritual energy should be no problem either.

and.

Unlike the innate spiritual energy directly drawn from nature.

This spiritual energy, which has been refined by cultivators, also contains the original owner's insights from many years of cultivation.

After taking it.

It's equivalent to directly inheriting all of Yun Danzi's cultivation achievements!

This means that anyone who refines this spiritual energy can instantly comprehend a complete divine power and directly break through from the Body Tempering Realm to the Qi Refining Realm!

The effect of this innate spiritual energy is immense!

[Extraction successful! Obtained - Three Elemental Roots!]

【Three Elemental Roots】

Grade: Superior

[Note: This item is formed from the spiritual energies of water, fire, and wood, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining, in a continuous cycle. It can provide high cultivation efficiency when practicing techniques of the same element.]

Another generous gift.

Water, fire, and wood—these three attributes can form a small cycle on their own, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. They can be considered the most superior three-element spiritual roots.

It is already a top-tier aptitude, second only to a single spiritual root.

Combined with that [Three Yang Qi].

Jiang Chuan even felt an urge to refine it himself!

"He must have already refined the fifth-grade, first-level innate spiritual energy once, but even so, he can still refine it eight more times. He has a real chance of breaking through to the third grade and reaching the threshold of Foundation Establishment!"

"hiss……"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, then suddenly woke up, silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to suppress the demonic thoughts stirring in his heart.

After a moment, he calmed down and looked at the two treasures in his hands without any reaction.

"For someone with fifth-grade spiritual energy to break through to third-grade, it's only a matter of hope."

"You might even need a bit of luck."

"What I want is not a possibility."

"It is necessary."

"However, with these two things, we can mold a usable person."

The moment his spiritual root and spiritual energy were extracted, Yun Danzi's aura plummeted at an alarming rate. His pressure as a first-stage Qi Refining cultivator vanished instantly, his pupils dilated, and his breathing ceased altogether.

Then, the Starry Sky Mirror behind Jiang Chuan's head shone brightly, and a warm starlight shone down from the center of the mirror, enveloping Yun Danzi's corpse.

The wounds healed rapidly in the starlight, the severed arm regenerated in the light, and the charred skin peeled off to reveal the new flesh beneath.

In just a few breaths, Yun Danzi's physical body returned to normal, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he was breathing again.

He opened his eyes, turned over and stood up, immediately kneeling down on one knee before Jiang Chuan:

"Greetings, Master!"

Jiang Chuan glanced at him.

After his resurrection, Yun Danzi only had the cultivation level of the Qi Absorption Realm. Moreover, because his spiritual root and innate spiritual energy had been extracted, he could not even be considered to have achieved Qi Absorption; he was merely maintaining a pseudo-Qi Absorption Realm.

This was to be expected. Although the Starry Sky Mirror could revive cultivators as servants, it could not create something out of thin air.

However, for Jiang Chuan, Yun Danzi's value did not lie in his combat power.

What he needs is the other person's identity.

Alchemist of Yuanling Mountain.

Yuanling Mountain is one of the seventy-two mountains of the inner sect of the Immortal Alliance. This identity is enough for him to move freely between the inner and outer sects, which is much more useful than Cui Chenghua's identity.

Moreover, and more importantly, Yuanling Mountain has been recruiting alchemy apprentices for many years. He could take this opportunity to disguise himself as Yun Danzi's alchemy apprentice and infiltrate Yuanling Mountain.

Thus, he could naturally shed his status as an outer disciple.

Thinking about this...

Jiang Chuan's gaze towards Yun Danzi immediately softened; this guy really did arrive at the right time...

Jiang Chuan then tossed the jade bottle and spiritual root back to him.

Yun Danzi instinctively reached out and caught it.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and an undisguised look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Without saying a word, he immediately reintegrated his spiritual root into his body, then sat cross-legged and activated his true essence to refine the [Three Yang Qi] again.

The spiritual root enters the body, and the spiritual energy returns to its proper place.

His breathing began to recover at a visible rate.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the immense pressure once again emanated from his body.

The three illusory images of blazing suns flashed behind him and disappeared, returning to his dantian and merging with his own primordial energy.

Upon reaching the first stage of Qi Refining, he was fully restored.

at the same time.

Jiang Chuan immediately felt a powerful cultivation force surging from the Starry Sky Mirror.

His true essence surged at an astonishing rate, his aura rose steadily, breaking through the barrier of Qi cultivation and settling firmly at the first stage of Qi Refining.

Although he has not yet refined any spiritual energy or comprehended any innate divine abilities.

However, Yun Danzi possessed magical and supernatural abilities, such as the "Three Yang Dharma Body Mantra".

At this moment.

They have all become Jiang Chuan's own methods!
