Chapter 95 - 95: Pill Completed! Seclusion?
Chapter 95 - 95: Pill Completed! Seclusion?
It was extremely important!
It was also related to the success or failure of the medicinal pill and the quality of the medicinal pill.
Therefore, spirit pattern pill refiners were often the only path to become true pill refiners.
However, the Eastern Continent was just too barren. Compared to the rest of the world, the Eastern Continent could only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg. Not to mention anyone who had come into contact with spirit pattern engraving, there had not been a single pill refiner above the third grade in the entire Eastern Continent.
At this moment, Fan Shuang’s eyes were fixed on Li Ming, who was carving the golden crow spirit pattern on the pill bit by bit.
With every stroke added to complete the spirit pattern, the medicinal pill would tremble. Waves of powerful medicinal strength kept surging out!
The spirit pattern engraving itself was a process of imposing restrictions on the medicinal pill. At the same time, it also helped to improve the medicinal strength and stabilize the quality of the pill.
To Li Ming, the spirit pattern engraving portion was the most challenging part of refining pills. It was also the most troublesome.
It was a test of his spiritual qi, the toughness of his body, and the perseverance of his soul.
Every stroke was a form of tempering for Li Ming.
At the same time, every stroke greatly consumed his energy!
The entire carving process took an entire three hours!
The moment Li Ming’s last stroke was placed, the golden crow true fire instantly shot up and enveloped the entire pill!
In the next second, the powerful spiritual qi that burst out actually shook the entire cave abode!
The cauldron cracked as the golden crow true fire roared.
As the medicinal strength of the medicinal pill surged, the entire cave abode was filled with extremely potent energy!
With Li Ming’s current cultivation level, even if he cultivated both his body and qi, he would not be able to resist the impact of this energy!
Seeing this situation, Fan Shuang decisively made a move. She immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Li Ming.
With a wave of her hand, she instantly blocked the wave of overbearing energy!
“Are you alright?”
“With your cultivation, it would be very difficult for you to resist the backlash once you refine a fifth-grade medicinal pill.”
“You need to raise your cultivation before moving any further in the path of pill refinement.’
Fan Shuang said after blocking the attack.
Seeing that Li Ming’s face only turned pale and he did not suffer any injuries, she was relieved.
At this moment, Li Ming raised his hand and took the pill wrapped in golden crow true fire into his hand.
When the golden crow true fire dissipated, a complete medicinal pill appeared in front of the two of them!
On the pill, there was a lifelike golden crow spirit pattern!
Compared to the previous time he refined a fifth-grade soul concentration pill, the spirit patterns this time were even more exquisite.
“Sect master, the pill is complete.”
“I did not miss anything. However, because my cultivation level is not high enough, I could not withstand the wave of energy at the end. Otherwise, the cauldron would not have shattered.”
“Although there were some unforeseen events, this fifth-grade soul concentration pill is undoubtedly complete.”
Li Ming looked at the pill and immediately handed it over with both hands.
Although a fifth-grade pill was amazing, it was completely useless to Li Ming.
The only thing he could do now was to cultivate and find an opportunity to break through to the core formation realm.
There was not much time left before the sect competition.
If he could raise his cultivation to the next level, the risks would naturally decrease for him.
Fan Shuang took the medicinal pill and inspected it.
Whether it was the spirit patterns or the energy of the pill itself, it was undoubtedly a fifth-grade pill!
Fan Shuang did not expect that Li Ming could actually refine a fifth-grade pill!
She had initially intended to not make things difficult for Li Ming even if he could not refine a fifth-grade pill. As long as he could refine a fourth-grade pill, she would still have given him preferential treatment.
However, he actually managed to refine a fifth-grade medicinal pill in the end!
This made Fan Shuang very excited.
The higher one’s cultivation was, the harder it was to raise one’s cultivation. She had been in the late stage of the nascent soul realm for many years, and she had been lacking an opportunity to advance any further!
However, this fifth-grade medicinal pill could increase her chances of successfully breaking through!
It gave her hope in raising her cultivation!
“Not bad.”
“If you have any questions regarding cultivation, you can ask me now.” “After that, I need to take this pill before the sect competition.”
Hearing Sect Master Fan Shuang’s words, Li Ming naturally did not dare to delay.
He indeed had some questions regarding cultivation.
Whenever he asked the black stone for anything, he needed to give it something in exchange. Now that he had someone else who he could ask questions without anything else in return, he naturally had no reason to refuse the opportunity.
“Sect Master, I want to know what to do to form my core.”
“What kind of opportunity do I need to complete it?”
Facing Li Ming’s question, Fan Shuang sized him up and said, “I’ve never personally seen a body cultivator who has reached your level, so I’m not sure.”
“However, in terms of qi cultivation, it is a simple matter of condensing one’s own spiritual qi into a golden core. This golden core needs to contain one’s own soul. At the very least, one soul and three spirits need to be fused into it.”
“In fact, during the golden core realm, other than increasing your cultivation level, you are nurturing your golden core and preparing for the birth of your nascent soul.”
“Every step of cultivation is a link between the previous and the following, each step is inseparable.”
After Fan Shuang finished speaking, Li Ming did not get dismayed. Instead, he chose to firmly remember these words.
Although he was not able to learn anything from the sect master about body cultivation, she was at least able to provide him with some information on the steps he would have to take for his qi cultivation.
As for what he needed to do to further his body cultivation, Li Ming could only resort to exploring it himself.
After all, he had nobody to reference from, so this was his only choice.
Fortunately, having been provided with a place that was so abundant in spiritual qi, Li Ming did not need to continue relying on various spirit stones to assist in his cultivation.
As the cave abode opened.
Li Ming was also at ease.
There was still a month left before the sect competition!
The sect master continued to cultivate in seclusion to digest the pill and seek a breakthrough.
Li Ming was the same.
Of course, it was not exactly the same.
He did not have any pills to use.
He also had no past experience.
The body cultivation foundation establishment realm was already a stage that no one else in his vicinity had achieved.
His path of cultivation was much more difficult than others!
Inside the cave abode, Li Ming sat cross-legged with his mind full of thoughts.
He had already reached the fifteenth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, but he was stuck at the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm. It was very difficult for him to take the step into the core formation realm.
According to the sect master, the qi cultivation core formation realm required one to condense one’s own spiritual qi into a golden core. After fusing one soul and three spirits, one would condense and form a core before breaking through to the golden core relm.
But in terms of body cultivation, what would he have to do?
Li Ming racked his brains, but he had no one to ask.
For some reason, the black stone seemed to have fallen silent ever since he entered this place. No matter how hard he tried, the black stone did not respond to him.
Li Ming had no choice but to train the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art repeatedly.
He practiced it over and over again for several days without stopping! He never stopped!
Although his qi cultivation was enough to form his Gold Core, his body cultivation remained a headache for him. Should he condense two golden cores?
Was there such a precedent?
In the cultivation world, at least in the entire Eastern Continent, he had never heard of a cultivator who could reach the core formation realm twice.
However, there was no other way. Li Ming could only rely on the abundant spiritual qi here to continuously practice the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art!
He hoped that he could use this natural method to try to break through the shackles!
