Chapter 49: Skill Advancement, Divine Soul Pill
Refinement Technique
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The process of making the earth and wind spirit pills was not too difficult for Lu Yuan.
The difficulty of refining these two pills wasn’t in the technique but in the collection of raw materials.
Take the wind spirit pill as an example. If Lu Yuan wanted to concoct a wind spirit pill that could assist in the cultivation of the special divine ability, Formless Squall, he would need the blood essence of a bird-type wind-type demon king as a drug primer.
There was no need to explain how difficult it was to kill a demon king. After all, it was an existence comparable to the Core Formation Stage.
The last drop of a wind-type demon king’s blood essence in his hands had only been managed to save by being especially frugal.
Back when Lu Yuan was achieving Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens for his wind spiritual root, he realized that he only needed to use two-thirds of the wind-type demon king’s blood essence to increase his success rate to 98%.
…..
As such, he had kept the remaining one-third of the wind-type demon king’s blood essence.
It was also thanks to his “frugal” style that he had the capital to refine the wind spirit pill and cultivate the Formless Squall.
As for the earth spirit pill, the material that Lu Yuan had left which could be used as the drug primer was the remaining black tortoiseshell.
Even though Lu Yuan had used up quite a huge chunk of the black tortoiseshell during his Foundation Establishment, a 5000-year-old black tortoiseshell was equivalent to a level 5 Core Formation Stage cultivator.
Although the black tortoiseshell that Lu Yuan had obtained was only a small piece, he still didn’t finish it all when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Due to the existence of these two treasures, Lu Yuan thus yearned for the medicinal herbs in the herb fields.
Now, with the departure of his master and the fact that he was about to leave the mountain, the right time, place, and people were all in place, it was time for a “backstab” … Ahem, it was time to ask his master for some cultivation resources!
As a decisive person, Lu Yuan quickly took all the herbs he needed from the herb fields.
Then, with the cover of the night, he quietly returned to his empty residence.
The whole process was done professionally, and the escape route was reasonable. It was obvious that he had planned this long ago.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan’s anxious heart finally settled down.
In fact, he had been planning for today’s matter for a long time.
When he saw that the time was right, he decisively made his move!
His master, Han Yuanshan, had gone to attend the wedding banquet of a fellow Daoist.
A cultivator’s wedding banquet was no ordinary matter. Not to mention the fact that a cultivator who could be treated as a friend by Han Yuanshan must be at the Core Formation Stage.
For such a cultivator to hold a wedding banquet, there was a great chance that they would have to discuss Dao.
Therefore, Han Yuanshan would probably only return after a year.
As long as he left the mountain before his master returned, he would be able to avoid the latter perfectly.
If he didn’t make a move now, when would he?
Knowing that he only had one year to “eliminate the stolen goods”, Lu Yuan started to refine the wind and earth spirit pills decisively.
He still had a lot of luck value left.
Therefore, the process of refining the earth spirit pill and the wind spirit pill was very smooth this time, though it took a little longer.
Lu Yuan spent a month refining the two spirit pills.
Although it took a long time, Lu Yuan could not help but reveal be joyful when he saw his harvest.
[Wind Spirit Pill (perfect)]
[Level: Foundation Establishment Stage]
[Effect: After consumption, the body’s affinity to wind-type spiritual energy will be permanently increased by 50 points in a short time.]
…
[Earth Spirit pill (perfect)]
[Level: Foundation Establishment Stage]
[Effect: After consumption, the body’s affinity to earth-type spiritual energy will be permanently increased by 50 points in a short time.]
Looking at the two spirit pills in his hands, Lu Yuan admired them for a while before putting them away.
Before he consumed the two pills and cultivated the special divine abilities, Lu Yuan had an even more important matter to attend to.
In the past month, his system interface had been refreshed many times.
[Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique (level io):ioooo/ioooo]
[You have fulfilled the conditions for skill advancement. Do you want to complete the advancement?]
[Current advancement success rate: 63%!
Not surprisingly, Lu Yuan saw that his Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique had finally reached the maximum level.
Although the success rate of the skill advancement was not high at the moment, it did not matter… He had his methods!
[Ding! Special effect, Destined Time, activated. Luck value has been temporarily doubled…]
At the same time when Lu Yuan activated Destined Time, the success rate of the Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique’s advancement changed.
[Current advancement success rate: 98%]
The auspicious time has arrived, let’s go!
[Ding! Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique is undergoing advancement…]
[The advancement of the Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique has been successful. Please choose the direction of advancement.]
[1. Increase the basic success rate of pill refinement.]
[2. Increase the upper limit of luck during pill refinement.]
[3. Allow the Pill Refinement Technique to be used for other purposes]
Lu Yuan looked at the three advancement paths and made his choice after thinking for a moment.
[Ding! The Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique has been advanced successfully. You have obtained a new skill, the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.]
[Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique: The technique can reach the soul when it has been practiced to the extreme!]
[Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique (level 1): 0/10000]
[Effect: A special pill refinement technique that combines the divine soul. It can be used for pill refinement, combat, and even cultivation.]
The description for the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique was short, but its effects were absolutely overbearing.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and grasped the gist of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
The joy in his eyes was unconcealable.
This advanced skill was even more exaggerated than he had thought!
Lu Yuan stretched out his palm and a ball of green flame appeared in his palm.
In just a moment, the ball of green flame started to condense.
In the end, it turned from a ball of divine ability’s flame into a round and smooth green pill.
[Green Flame Pill (soul)]
[Level: Foundation Establishment Stage, level 3)
[Effect: After detonation, it can unleash a green flame attack that is comparable to a level 3 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator]
[Shelflife: 3days]
In terms of effect, the green flame pill (soul) was not much different from an ordinary green flame pill.
However, considering that this green flame pill (soul) was something that Lu Yuan had refined with nothing but his spiritual sense, soul power, and some power of the green flame, this was undoubtedly very shocking.
This was because such a technique was not much different from creating something out of thin air.
Rather, using spiritual sensei, soul power, and spiritual energy to refine special pills was not the most domineering part of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Instead, the most domineering aspect of the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique was in refining the soul!
This meant that Lu Yuan could temper his divine soul like a pill!
It didn’t sound much, but after one’s divine soul was tempered to a certain extent, it would be replaced by the nascent soul!
Generally speaking, only Core Formation Stage cultivators had the means and ability to cultivate the divine soul.
…..
However, by relying on the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique, Lu Yuan could achieve this at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although he couldn’t form a nascent soul like the Core Formation Stage cultivators, he could greatly increase the strength of his divine soul.
If his divine soul could be strong to a certain extent, when it was time for core formation, he could then rely on his powerful divine soul to force all the spiritual roots to fuse.
This would greatly increase Lu Yuan’s success rate in reaching the Core Formation Stage.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this advanced skill allowed Lu Yuan to be reborn!
After some excitement, Lu Yuan quickly recollected his thoughts and calmed himself down.
Since he had successfully advanced the Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique, it was time for him to start cultivating the two special divine powers….
