He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 239 Obtaining the Elixir, Defeating the Nascent Soul Stage (First Update)

"These are Bone Forging Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, Body Tempering Pills, Spirit Strengthening Pills, Spirit Nourishing Pills, and Spirit Replenishing Pills."

Upon hearing Li Chuan's answer, the Lotus Fairy immediately took out dozens of bottles of pills contained in jade jars.

After the Nascent Soul stage comes the Earth Immortal stage, and to become an Earth Immortal, one must undergo the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. One's physical body, primordial spirit, and true essence must all be strong enough to possibly overcome it.

Therefore, cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage usually try to refine some pills to enhance their physical body, while those who mainly cultivate the Nascent Soul stage also need to refine some pills to enhance their primordial spirit.

As a master alchemist, the Lotus Fairy had prepared all of this well in advance.

Now that life and death were at stake, she disregarded the preciousness of these pills and stuffed them all into Li Chuan's hands.

The pills can be refined again, but if Li Chuan loses, they will all perish as the leader of the demonic cultivators. She and her master's reincarnation Lingzhi will be completely annihilated, without even the chance to be reincarnated.

"Such a precious elixir, I..."

Li Chuan looked at the pills in his hand, overjoyed inside, but outwardly feigning distress.

The Lotus Fairy, in a hurry, immediately helped Li Chuan open the bottle, poured out the pills, and fed them into his mouth one by one in order:

"Stop being so wishy-washing. You're saving our lives now. First, give us the Marrow Cleansing Treatment, then the Bone Forging Treatment."

The pills immediately transformed into various special energies upon entering the mouth, targeting and enhancing Li Chuan's physical body and primordial spirit.

In just a few breaths, Li Chuan felt his physical body and spirit, which had reached their limits due to the massive consumption of chakra and the intake of soldier pills, begin to recover rapidly.

I felt an indescribable sense of comfort and pleasure all over my body, just like soaking in a hot spring in the dead of winter.

This was very different from the feeling when injecting the No. 1 Enhancer, the Hulk Serum, and the Perfect Warrior Serum. Injecting those three serums was an extremely painful process that required willpower to endure and resist.

Although both methods involve strengthening the physical body, they may differ in the direction of strengthening due to their different principles.

The gene serums from Marvel mainly induce mutations in Li Chuan's cells, thereby strengthening his body, which is why the process is quite painful.

In this world, elixirs are used to strengthen the body and cultivate vitality, using special energy to nourish the physical body and primordial spirit, allowing them to gradually become stronger.

This is similar to Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine; both can cure diseases, just using different methods.

Mutual assistance can actually be more effective.

After taking dozens of pills, not only did his body and mind recover, but Li Chuan also clearly felt that due to the strength of his physical body and primordial spirit, the amount of chakra he could extract was also more than before.

The key point is that this process is still ongoing and has not been interrupted by time, so it feels like it can be strengthened for a long time to come.

"Qingfeng, it takes a month for the effects of the pills to fully take effect. However, since you have taken a variety of them, they should be working well now."

After feeding all the pills to Li Chuan, the Lotus Fairy explained.

These are pills used by Nascent Soul stage cultivators to strengthen their physical body and primordial spirit. Naturally, they cannot be absorbed all at once and need a period of time to adapt and buffer.

The righteous path's cultivation methods and elixirs always emphasize gradual and steady improvement, while only the demonic path would disregard everything.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

When the five hundred shadow clones disappeared again, Li Chuan felt that his body could extract chakra again because of the pills. Without even taking any soldier rations, he formed hand seals and released shadow clones once more.

This time, the number of shadow clones increased from 500 to 550, fifty more than before.

"How could this happen?"

Blood God Child, who was gritting his teeth and persevering in the air, lost his composure once again upon seeing the situation below.

The clones reappeared after being exhausted, which could be explained by the recovery of true energy. But now that the clones have been exhausted and reappeared, there are even more of them. What's going on?

Even if someone takes pills that increase cultivation, the absorption rate shouldn't be this fast.

However, what happened next terrified him even more, because after the wave of 550 ended, it actually rose to 570, and after 570 ended, it rose to 600.

"Hmph, I'll let you juniors off today out of respect for Master White Eyebrows, but I won't hold back next time we meet!"

Seeing that his true essence was about to run out, while the Foundation Establishment cultivator below was becoming more and more powerful, Blood God Child left behind a harsh remark, withdrew Blood River, and fled using Blood Escape.

The demonic path doesn't care about saving face. Since there's no chance of winning, retreating is definitely the best option. At worst, they can wait until they recover their strength and then find another opportunity to take revenge.

The Seven Sons of the Clouds and the Lotus Fairy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Blood God Child escape.

Who wants to die when they can live?

"This trip was a huge success."

Seeing the Blood God Child escape, Li Chuan didn't use his phantom teleportation to pursue him; instead, he secretly sighed with delight.

After all, he was a disciple of the Netherworld Blood Demon. If he really killed the Netherworld Blood Demon and came after him, he wouldn't have Bai Mei backing him up.

This is the best situation for now. I've made friends with the Seven Sons of the Clouds and the Lotus Fairy, and I've also obtained elixirs, which have improved both my physical and mental well-being.

He is now looking forward to seeing how much his body will grow after he has fully absorbed those dozens of pills in a month.

"Junior Brother Qingfeng, I never expected you to be able to repel the Blood God Child!"

After everything was over, the Seven Sons of the Clouds looked at Li Chuan with admiration in their eyes.

In forcing Blood God Child to retreat, they played almost no role at all; it was all thanks to Li Chuan's initial sneak attack, coupled with the continuous lightning attacks that followed.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator battling a Nascent Soul cultivator, especially one from the Blood Demon Palace at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, is something never heard of in the entire history of the cultivation world.

"Senior brothers and sisters, you flatter me. These are just secret techniques. No matter how powerful they are, they are useless. I am still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. I cannot become a celestial being or achieve immortality. It is all an illusion."

Li Chuan waved his hand with a humble expression.

Indeed, this is true. In this world, only by becoming a Celestial Immortal and ascending to the Upper Realm can one achieve immortality.

Otherwise, if one only embarks on cultivation, although it can increase lifespan, there will still be a lifespan limit.

Normal human cultivators have a lifespan of 150 years for Foundation Establishment, 500 years for Core Formation, 1,000 years for Nascent Soul, and 3,000 years for Earth Immortal. If they haven't broken through by the time their lifespan is up, they can only choose to disintegrate and start cultivating again.

The lifespan of a demon is not fixed, and different demons have different lifespans.

If it weren't for lifespan limitations, there wouldn't be so few Nascent Soul cultivators and Earth Immortals in the cultivation world.

Therefore, the matter of cultivation is something that many cultivators need to carefully consider.

Spending more time cultivating one's skills can lead to faster breakthroughs in cultivation realms and increased lifespan. However, neglecting the cultivation of techniques will put one at a disadvantage in combat.

If you spend too much time on techniques, you may become very skilled in combat, but if you don't break through to a higher realm in time, it will all be in vain.
