Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 777 - 783: Cheers

”Really?!”

Even Elder Song, who had seen his fair share of upheavals, couldnʼt help but have his breathing hasten at these words.

The other two Divine Transformation cultivators also had their breathing quicken, a faint flush of excitement rising on their cheeks, somewhat losing their composure.

But thinking about the effects of the Fusion Qi Pill, it seemed quite normal.

A period of ten days, and the tailor-made Precious Pill would be fifteen days!

Even if it wasnʼt possible to take a Precious Pill every day, and overuse would lead to diminished effects, it still held immense benefits for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

After all, when a Nascent Soul breaks through to Divine Transformation, their lifespan surges by a thousand years, so why are those who ascend still so rare?

Itʼs because the cultivation speed of Divine Transformation Cultivators is far too slow!

They can only polish the Primal Qi of heaven and earth bit by bit, carefully integrating the Primal Qi with their Spiritual Soul, and to fuse with a single strand of Primal Qi, it takes several daysʼ time.

And to transform the Spiritual Soul into the Sun God and thereby induce the Heavenly Tribulation, roughly 36,500 strands of Primal Qi are needed!

If we ignore bottlenecks, just cultivating to the completion stage of Divine Transformation would take three to five hundred years, and if we add bottlenecks and other mundane issues that prevent one from immersing themselves in dedicated cultivation, itʼs easy to spend seven to eight hundred years just like that.

Furthermore, the Spiritual Soul must undergo the Wind Fire Inner Tribulation to achieve the Sun God, which requires great caution and another century of time.

This calculation shows that for ordinary Divine Transformation Cultivators to ascend through Tribulation Transcendence, they would be at the verge of the end of their lifespan.

Of course, geniuses cannot be measured by common standards. In the Profound Origin Realm, there have been individuals who broke through to Void Refinement in less than a thousand years, almost like figures out of legends.

However, such individuals have only emerged twice in the several hundred thousand yearsʼ history of the Profound Origin Realm, while most just have better aptitudes, but only marginally better.

But with the Fusion Qi Pill spoken of by Li Zhirui, those Divine Transformation Cultivators with better aptitudes could save a considerable amount of time, making a breakthrough hopeful; and those who were already likely to ascend could do so in a better state.

Keep in mind, cultivators also age!

And once aging begins, it means a decline in vigor, willpower, among other issues that will follow, posing a certain, even a great, obstacle to both the Wind Fire Inner Tribulation and the final Ascension Thunder Tribulation, potentially leading to failure and wasted millennia of hard cultivation.

Thus, itʼs best to break through while one is still young, with both the body and Spiritual Soul at their peak.

Just like why it is said that Qi Cultivators who havenʼt broken through Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty have only a slim chance afterward: because they start aging!

But the emergence of the Fusion Qi Pill gave them a view of a thoroughfare to Void Refinement, a smoother and straighter road.

”Aside from you, how many others know of this pill recipe?”

Faced with such a treasure, their first reaction was to seal it off, not allowing it to be disclosed! Otherwise, the status of their respective forces would be impacted.

In that moment, Li Zhirui felt his entire body bristle with goosebumps as he forcibly calmed himself and said, ”Yu Xue of the Luofu Sect and I perfected the pill recipe together, and he should have already reported it to the Sect.” Li Zhirui revealed this information directly as he discerned their intentions.

Indeed, when Li Zhirui decided to hand over the pill recipe, he had also considered whether these major forces, upon seeing the effects of the Fusion Qi Pill, would simply seize it by force or even eliminate him entirely.

After all, the Li family he hailed from was strictly speaking a Nascent Soul force, which, in the eyes of these people, was no more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

And he himself had only just broken through, with moderate strength.

But Li Zhirui realized that apart from himself, Yu Xue also knew the Pill Recipe, and even if he were killed, it would be impossible to keep the Pill Recipe in his own hands. Hence, he decided to take a gamble!

Fortunately, he won that gamble.

After hearing what Li Zhirui said, the other party gave up the idea of killing him. Since the Pill Recipe could not be monopolized, his life or death was no longer of great concern.

”So it was Yu Xue, the lad. I didnʼt expect you to team up with him to accomplish such a grand feat! Truly remarkable,” Elder Song praised with a smile, showing no sign of the flickering eyes he had just a moment ago.

And with Elder Songʼs words, the atmosphere in the great hall also became more amiable.

”You may leave the Chaos Treasure Pill and the Pill Recipe, as well as the advanced Pill Recipes, behind. We will discuss your reward after we have verified their authenticity, how does that sound?”

”Yes!” Li Zhirui respectfully presented the Precious Pills and the Pill Recipes and slowly withdrew from the room.

The tension that had gripped his body also eased slightly, and he strode back to his own cave dwelling.

At the same time, he felt a sense of astonishment and doubt in his heart. Such an action was too bold and risky; it was not like him to be so impatient!

However, after returning, Li Zhirui carefully checked his Sea of Consciousness and found no signs of the Heart Demon stirring, so he could only temporarily suppress the shock and doubt in his mind and focus on regulating his own condition.

After Li Zhirui left, several streaks of Spirit Light emanated from the Cloud Palaceʼs great hall, and before long, the meditation cushions were filled with people.

”Is there an emergency at the front lines that you have called us so urgently?” An impatient Nascent Soul Cultivator asked as soon as everyone arrived.

”Itʼs not because of that, but it is also of great importance.” They proceeded to tell of Li Zhiruiʼs submission of the Pill Recipe.

”Are the effects of that damn Fusion Qi Pill really as impressive as the kid said?” A burly man raised his voice in skepticism.

Over the years, their power had also tried to deduce and refine Pill Recipes, and they had even succeeded, but the costs were either too high, the effects mediocre, or the refinement extraordinarily difficult. In short, there were all kinds of problems.

One must know that their powers were among the top in the world, and yet something they had failed to achieve had been accomplished by two Divine Transformation Completion Stage Cultivators!? It was like a wild tale, unbelievable!

”We three are not Alchemists and do not fully understand this Pill Recipe, which is why we have called you all here to verify its effects together.”

The specifically tailored Fusion Qi Pill could not be verified at the moment as none among them controlled the Purification Principle, but the effects of the Chaos Primordial Qi could be easily tested by direct consumption.

As for whether Li Zhirui would tamper with it, as long as he did not wish to die, he would not do such an extremely foolish act.

”Iʼll do it!” The burly man who questioned the Essence Pill volunteered when no one else spoke up.

He secured the Essence Pill and went to a side hall to refine it.

The other Nascent Soul Cultivators continued to wait in the great hall, discussing how to resolve the war, which was nearing its end.

It wasnʼt until three days later when the burly man returned from the side hall that everyone knew the result even before he spoke.

They heard him say joyfully, ”The Essence Pill is indeed as the kid said, Iʼve refined a total of ten strands of Primal Qi from heaven and earth in these three days!”

”Good!”

”With this Precious Pill, our path of cultivation will surely be smoother in the future!”

The assembly of Nascent Soul Cultivators cheered loudly, brimming with excitement.
