Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 626: Chapter 0626: Weird Elixir (Extra Update Request for Monthly Tickets)

“Elixir refining, medicine taking, Feather Transforming, Ascending…”

In the quiet chamber, Xu Changqing seemed to be enlightened as he listened to Su Lu’s detailed explanation of the Dao Method in “Ascending Scripture”.

He took out the black finger bone of the Magic Artifact.

When he blocked the Daoist Mountain Immortal that day, it seemed to suffer severe damage. Upon holding it, there was no longer a cold bone-piercing sensation, and a crack appeared on the surface.

“How…how do I consume this?”

“Of course you can’t eat it directly. Even your ‘Foundation Building and Dao Entering’ body would not be able to take it. It must be combined with other ingredients, using the principle of auxiliary materials to harmonize its property… This is a pill formula that is kept secret amongst the various schools and sects!”

Su Lu gave a light laugh, “But I know how to do it all!”

He secretly rolled his eyes, isn’t this the Main World’s differently packaged Magic Potion and Secret Medicine?

Gathering resources from Weird Creatures means to collect and accumulate various types of Spirituality, achieving a qualitative transformation in the end!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“In other words, in this world, cultivating and manipulating nature’s spiritual energy is all false. Only direct and brutal plunder is true cultivation!”

“Grandpa, you know all this?”

Xu Changqing cheered up.

It’s like carrying an ‘Alchemy Grandmaster’ by his side, a treatment not even the head of Heixuan Sect have.

“Indeed, this finger bone is significantly damaged, it’s pretty easy to handle… I’ll guide you in the operation.”

Under Su Lu’s guidance, Xu Changqing gathered some common materials like yellow paper and cinnabar, used fresh blood to dissolve the finger bone, then boiled it in a clay pot.

Then, he separated the residuals, placed them on a talisman paper infused with spirituality, slowly roasted them with fire, and added various ingredients.

At last, he obtained some black powder, each particle glistening like a diamond shard.

“Why… do I feel like I’m not refining elixirs, but cooking?”

Xu Changqing stared at the finished product in his hand, his face twisted in confusion.

“The process is not important, only the result is… The so-called pill refining technique is nothing more than ‘harmonizing’. Anyway, listen to me, it couldn’t be wrong.”

Su Lu secretly rolled his eyes thinking, would I tell you that in my past world I was a top chef?

“Alright then…”

Xu Changqing swallowed the star-like black particles at once.

Boom!

In an instant, he felt as if he swallowed a piece of ice!

The surrounding environment inexplicably turned chilly, his body surface cracked open, and eyes began to surface all over his body.

“Indeed… Consuming Spirituality is very dangerous, and one could lose control at any time.”

Su Lu said, “What are you waiting for? Quickly rotate your Cultivation Technique!”

Xu Changqing hastily stimulated the “Ascending Scripture”, and tried to accumulate the scattered spirituality at a Dantian in his ‘mind’, condensing it into a dark-green-coloured Elixir.

However, the Elixir at this time was merely a shadow, the surface pattern was blurred, and more Spirituality was needed to fill it.

‘Is this also a kind of meditation method in essence?’

Su Lu contemplated silently.

Xu Changqing opened his eyes and found himself transformed into a ‘beast’ again!

Moreover, the surrounding environment gave him an inexplicable sense of danger. He felt like a beast locked in iron bars, unconsciously wanting to roar and vent.

“Regulate your mind, meditate on the Dantian!”

Fortunately, with Su Lu’s guidance, his loss of control gradually subsided.

“Every time I take an elixir in the future, do I have to go through such a terror?” Xu Changqing asked with lingering fear.

“No, it will be more terrifying every time! Choosing this path means you’re constantly walking on the edge of insanity…” Su Lu calmly replied.

“No wonder… no wonder that Corpse Dissecting Fairy didn’t take people as humans…” Xu Changqing said, “After experiencing all that, I feel my heart is becoming cold bit by bit…”

“Congratulations, you have reached the third stage of the Feather Transforming Immortal – the [Weird Elixir] realm.”

Su Lu, not answering the question, changed the topic, “This realm is called [Weird infant] among the Corpse Dissecting Fairy. Their souls have been altered, can transform into little people, using Spirituality to disembodied, and accomplish kinds of incredible things.”

“I need more Weird Creatures.”

Xu Changqing changed the topic as well, “I have to leave the mountain sooner rather than later.”

“Don’t forget, you still have a channel, Li Shitou!”

Su Lu reminded him, “He explored those underground ruins, he may have found something.”

“Shitou…is the path he took the same as mine?” Xu Changqing suddenly asked.

“If you mean some changes, definitely! Getting power beyond nature always comes with a price.” Su Lu responded definitively, leaving Xu Changqing speechless.

…

The Underworld.

The Luofeng ruins.

Li Shitou was walking on the Hanbai jade square, filled with ruins.

“I am now [Impermanence], I have many abilities, perhaps I can explore inside the palace?”

He bypassed one dangerous area after another, circuitously approached the towering palace gate.

On the wall, the eyes of every monstrous ghost, either with a fearful blue face or demonic red hair, turned to look at him.

“These are all dead things, there’s no need to be afraid…”

Li Shitou clearly saw the palace gate.

The dark green iron nails on the vermillion door were striking.

The door wasn’t completely closed; there was a crack left.

For a door meant for giants, the crack was enough for Li Shitou to enter sideways.

“Hoo hoo!”

At this moment, a shadow surged behind him, becoming a gray figure.

It looked dull, its figure blurry, reaching out its hands towards Li Shitou.

Crackle!

Suddenly, countless chains emerged from Li Shitou’s back, binding and quickly absorbing the shadow.

It wasn’t long before only a translucent bead remained at the spot.

“Another relic left by [Impermanence].”

Li Shitou remained silent, heading toward the gate.

His figure was slightly illusory, with intense black and white hues emerging on his soul.

Just as he neared the door, the ghost painting on the wall suddenly moved!

A mass of wicked ghosts seemed to have found their target and pounced on Li Shitou.

Squelch! Squelch!

Their claws reached out, directly seizing the black Li Shitou!

A white shadow took this opportunity to enter the palace, taking on Li Shitou’s form.

Dao Technique—Black and White Impermanence!

Splitting into a spirit body, drawing fire!

This is the ability gained by a Second Order [Impermanence].

“No matter what, I finally got in.”

Upon entering the palace, the first thing that caught his eye was a dark golden hall.

However, the hall is mostly destroyed, only a voice still echoed on the open ground.

It was a voice only a netherworld deity could hear, gradually becoming clear in Li Shitou’s ears:

“Yintianzi Order: Xing Tian causes chaos, Demonic Gods wreak havoc, Luofeng in Underworld…”

The voice stops here, as if the orders behind were interrupted.

“Yintianzi? The ruler of the underworld, isn’t that the emperor?”

Li Shitou quickly thought of something: “This is the command from the Underworld Emperor to ‘Luofeng’, perhaps it’s to send troops to quell the chaos?”

He recalled a story that Xu Changqing once told him, in it an emperor was in danger and sent the military’s top general for protection.
