Chapter 62 Refining Mortals into Treasures: Bright Moon 7th Reincarnation
Around the Dragon Transformation Pool.
The rocks are jagged and exposed, offering no shelter or obstruction.
Li Xian did not rush to make a move.
His purple-gold pupils activated.
The line of sight penetrates the stone wall, broken rocks, and the ground surface, extending outwards for hundreds of feet.
To the east, two rogue cultivators squatted behind the ruins, eating sunflower seeds. Their cultivation level was at the first level of the Dao Palace realm, and their eyes glanced in this direction.
From the north, a divine sense, extremely concealed, spread along the ground—a Dragon Transformation Realm expert.
The west side is clean.
To the south, the two Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace guards arranged by Yao Yuekong were stationed at the crossroads, and they were quite dutiful.
Li Xian retrieved six Source Pattern Stones from the Sea of Bitterness and embedded them into the ground fissures along the six sides of the pool.
Fingers form a hand seal, and vital energy flows in—
The techniques of the Origin King Dragon Vein Technique also drew on the fragmentary traditions found in Master Zhang's leather book.
The stone surface lit up with pale gold patterns, and the six source stones hummed simultaneously. A layer of transparent light curtain rose from the bottom of the pool, enveloping the entire Dragon Transformation Pool.
Isolate one's divine consciousness.
Shielding the senses.
The divine sense that was close to the ground from the north collided with the light barrier.
Like a tongue licking a hot plate, it abruptly retracted.
The two rogue cultivators on the east side exchanged a glance, wisely put away their melon seeds, and slipped away.
Li Xian withdrew her gaze.
Start.
He took stock of all the things he had in his sea of suffering.
The proceeds from gambling on jade stones, the proceeds from auctions, and previous savings are all mixed together in one place.
After the conversion of divine source and alien source, plus the unusable portion of the 750,000 jin of auction proceeds sent by Yao Yuekong—
A total of 500,000 jin of pure source.
Not a lot.
But that's not a lot.
Li Xian flipped his palm, and tens of thousands of source stones poured out from the Bitter Sea and crashed into the bottom of the pool.
Splash!
The Originium struck the dragon-patterned crack and shattered.
The pure source energy poured into the core node where the three earth veins converged, like mercury spilling onto the ground.
The dragon-patterned cracks at the bottom of the pool, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly lit up.
One, two, three—
Golden rays of light spread, intertwined, and converged along the crack.
"boom--"
A deep dragon roar exploded from the depths of the earth.
In the Dragon Transformation Pool, a pool of golden liquid gushed forth from the dried-up bottom.
Source water.
It's not ordinary water.
It is a product of mixing the essence of the earth veins with 500,000 jin of source, thick as amber, and resembling a golden elixir.
The golden water quickly submerged the dragon patterns at the bottom of the pool, and a phantom image of a dragon about ten feet long appeared on the surface of the water. Its scales were shimmering with gold, and its whiskers were flying. After circling the pool three times, it sank to the bottom of the water, turning into golden ripples.
The dragon's aura is at its peak.
Li Xian took out a small white jade cauldron.
Uncover the lid and gently place the humanoid immortal medicine root wrapped in ice and snow into the pool.
The silvery-white remnant root trembled violently upon touching the golden source water, as if startled.
then.
Li Xian took out two more items.
A translucent, petrified sapling—
The Elixir of Immortality from the Stars.
It was completely grayish-white, lifeless, like a fossil that had been dead for hundreds of millions of years.
A cluster of bright red, dried-out roots—
The Elixir of Immortality from the Vermilion Bird.
Feather-like patterns remained faintly on the branches, but the fire was completely gone, and the branches withered like burnt firewood.
Three Immortal Herbs.
They all disappeared into the golden source water.
The pool water was boiling.
Dragon energy, carrying source power, washed over the three medicinal roots, golden light flowed, and Daoist charm permeated the air.
Li Xian squatted by the pool, his purple-gold eyes fixed intently on the water.
Take a breath.
Ten breaths.
One hundred breaths.
The silvery-white root of the humanoid immortal elixir trembled slightly, and its toes curled up even more.
The Elixir of Immortality for the Stars—remains perfectly still.
The Vermilion Bird's Elixir of Immortality—remains perfectly still.
'really.'
Dragon energy alone is not enough.
Without hesitation, Li Xian placed his right index finger on the surface of the pool water, condensed his Origin Qi at his fingertip, and began to carve characters.
One stroke.
One stroke.
There are hundreds of "Emperor" characters left behind by the Desolate Emperor.
Each one contains the profound meaning of the Great Dao of mending the heavens and filling the earth.
Golden characters emerged from the surface of the pool water, one after another, densely covering the surface.
After the first engraving was completed, there was no response.
Second time.
The character "帝" (Emperor) overlapped, the Daoist rhythm resonated, and the pool water surged violently.
The third time.
Sweat rolled down Li Xian's forehead.
Engraving the imperial character consumed far more of his spiritual energy than expected. He had already grasped the Bodhi branch in his hand and was thinking at full speed, barely managing to hold on.
Fourth time.
The fifth time—
"Buzz".
An extremely faint vibration.
On the silvery-white root of the humanoid immortal elixir, an almost imperceptible breathing rhythm appeared.
very slow.
So slow that it's almost imperceptible.
But it is indeed true—
vitality.
Li Xian stopped.
My gaze shifted to the other two plants.
Even the Star Immortality Elixir still petrified him.
The Vermilion Bird's Elixir of Immortality withered and died.
The painstaking process of carving the character "Emperor" five times only managed to awaken a wisp of the elixir of immortality in human form.
That's enough.
Li Xian was not disappointed.
He never expected to achieve his goal in one step.
The humanoid immortality elixir is the best preserved of the three, and the fact that it reacts indicates that the direction is correct.
The other two are too deeply petrified and require more sophisticated methods.
That's for later.
He took a piece of emerald green branch from the sea of suffering.
Bodhi branch.
Nine wondrous branches.
Two saplings of the Immortal Herb were planted in the gap where the dragon patterns intersected at the bottom of the pool.
The moment the roots touched the dragon's energy—
Three green leaves on the Bodhi branch unfold together.
The veins on the leaves glowed with a shimmering green light, and the branches were noticeably thicker.
The Nine Wonders Branches are even more exaggerated, with tender buds bursting out from the nodes and sprouting a new leaf in just a few breaths, the leaf surface gleaming with a pale red luster.
Full of vitality.
'The plants have a good foundation, and the dragon's energy is excellent nourishment for them.'
Li Xian nodded.
His diligent care over the past year has not been in vain.
He carefully returned the three immortal herbs to the Sea of Bitterness, leaving only Bodhi and Nine Wonders to take root in the pond.
Next step.
Li Xian took out the jade bowl.
The ancient divine medicine in the bowl trembled slightly under the stirring of the dragon energy, and its delicate fragrance became several times stronger.
Wei Yi once said—
This substance cannot prolong life, but it can cleanse the tendons and marrow.
Li Xian picked up the jade bowl and took a sip.
The instant it enters the throat—
The energy exploded.
It is not a gentle infusion.
It was a torrent of water, like a flood bursting its banks.
Although more than 99% of the residual essence of the ancient divine medicine has been lost, the remaining portion is still an enormous amount for a body at the second level of the Dao Palace.
The two Taoist palaces were instantly filled.
In the secret realm of Lun Hai.
The sea of suffering rises with the tide.
The life-giving spring gushed forth.
The sacred bridge trembled.
The other shore shines with light.
The meridians of the body are swollen and distended.
It felt like being filled with lead; the drug's effects surged wildly through my body, unable to find an outlet.
Three breaths later.
Li Xian decisively stopped absorbing the nutrients.
'If you take it directly, you'll die from overeating.'
He poured the remaining medicinal liquid into the white jade cauldron, and then scooped dozens of ladles of golden source water from the Dragon Transformation Pool and poured it in.
The moment the medicinal liquid and the source water blended, a brilliant light shone within the cauldron.
Gold, silver, cyan, purple—
Four kinds of light intertwined and surged, and a layer of fine Dao patterns rippled on the surface of the medicine, displaying a dazzling array of colors.
The source water neutralized the medicine's violent effects, while the dragon's energy was incorporated into it, thus increasing the medicine's efficacy instead of decreasing it.
Li Xian first sank the cauldron into the dragon pool.
Then he took off his outer garment, turned over, and leaped into the jade cauldron.
The medicine was up to his chest.
pain.
Unlike the sharp pain of gallstones quenching the eye—
This is a burning sensation that seeps into the bone marrow.
The medicinal power penetrates through every pore, flowing along the meridians to the internal organs, limbs, and bones.
The dragon's roar at the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool resonated with the medicinal liquid in the cauldron.
The unique Dao fragments of the Elixir of Immortality were activated by the dragon energy and circulated within Li Xian's body, burning away impurities and reshaping his physique.
The medicinal liquid inside the cauldron began to churn.
Bubbles rose rapidly from the bottom, becoming denser and more frequent.
White mist rose from above Li Xian's head.
Sweat mixed with black filth seeped from the body and floated on the surface of the medicine.
Cracked dead skin, stagnant blood, and impurities hidden in the crevices of bones for over twenty years—
It was peeled away layer by layer.
It was expelled inch by inch.
The liquid changed from golden to cloudy yellow, and then from cloudy yellow to jet black.
In the cauldron.
Lee Seon's skin was peeled away after being covered in dirt.
The new skin beneath was revealed to be as white and smooth as jade.
Keep your back straight.
Eyes closed.
Clenching his teeth tightly.
He did not utter a single cry of pain.
Several hours passed, and the black filth stopped increasing.
The medicine solution became clear again, but the concentration had been diluted by more than half.
Two more hours passed.
The medicine was completely transparent.
All the essentials.
It was completely absorbed by this mortal body.
In the darkest hour before dawn, all was silent above the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"Buzz—"
A deep rumble erupted from the jade cauldron.
Li Xian's eyes suddenly opened.
Two beams of light shot out from the purple-gold pupils, piercing through the white mist, shattering the edge of the light barrier that isolated the array patterns, and leaving two charred black dots on the stone wall three zhang away.
The third Taoist palace—
The earth's divine treasure was suddenly opened.
Divine power gushes forth from the Fountain of Life, reaching the Dao Palace via the other side of the Divine Bridge.
The three organs of the heart, kidneys, and spleen resonate, forming a complete circuit within the body.
at the same time.
Deep in the sea of suffering.
The pale blue, illusory surface of water trembled violently.
The water surface is expanding.
The shallows were transformed into lakes.
It spread from a lake into a sea.
A bright moon slowly rises over the vast expanse of blue water.
The silvery moonlight spilled onto the sea, the moonlight solidified, no longer an illusory light and shadow, but a sharp and cutting-edge Daoist aura.
The phases of the moon begin to change.
One turn.
Second turn.
Third turn —
Fourth turn, fifth turn, sixth turn—
Seventh turn.
The moon waxes and wanes seven times.
Silver light covered all directions, the blue sea was calm, and within the silence lay a terrifying power to crush all laws.
The bright moon rises over the sea, taking its first seven turns.
The nascent phenomenon had already acquired the power to suppress those of higher ranks.
Li Xian stood up from the cauldron.
The medicine is empty.
A layer of black medicinal residue had formed on the inner wall of the jade cauldron.
He leaped into the pool and scooped up the golden water to wash his entire body.
The black filth and dead skin were washed away by the water, revealing the underlying flesh.
A lustrous, jade-like color.
It's not a description.
It has a warm, lustrous sheen that is visible to the naked eye.
It shines through the deep layers of the skin, like the finest mutton fat jade.
Li Xian raised her hand.
make a fist.
Loosen up.
Even without using any divine power, a faint, precious light still flowed around his body.
The sound of blood and qi surging in the meridians is no longer the gentle murmur of an ordinary person, but rather a faint roar like a torrent.
'Mortal body...'
He looked at his palm, his gaze calm.
Several times in a row defying the laws of nature—
Divine spring water from the ancient forbidden land, the Nine Wonders Sacred Fruit, the Immortal Bodhi Leaf, the Primordial Divine Elixir, the Dragon Transformation Pool's dragon energy tempering...
The shackles of the mortal body were broken through layer by layer.
It does not reach the level of a divine body or a royal body.
But it is already comparable to a precious body—
Treasure body.
That is, a superior mortal body.
The physical body is so powerful that it is comparable to a magical artifact.
It is an inevitable path for the mortal body to constantly transform; it is not something that is innate, but rather something that is cultivated later in life.
Similar to the terminology used to describe certain physical stages during the process of the Demon Emperor Xueyue Qing evolving from a rabbit into a silver dragon.
"Essentially, it's still just a mortal body..."
Li Xian whispered.
This body.
It has finally begun to match his ambitions.
After dressing, Li Xian put away the jade cauldron and glanced at the Bodhi branch and Nine Wonders branch rooted in the pond.
The two separate plants grew quietly in the dragon's aura, their leaves unfurled, full of vitality.
A slight joy welled up in my heart.
Reborn from the sea of suffering.
The remaining source liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool was not wasted; Li Xian secretly imprinted it around the area, intending to leave a backup plan.
"When the God-King revives, I estimate that between the Four Extremes and the Dragon Transformation stage, using this backup plan to unleash the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword might be enough to take a head."
'The origin of a Saint-level God-King, the origin of a King-level Dark Night King, the origin of a powerful being tainted by the Yinming Grass...'
"These are all good things."
He pondered for a moment.
Li Xian turned and walked out of the Dragon Transformation Pool.
The morning light broke through the clouds and shone on him.
The Source Stone array dissipated, and the light barrier receded.
The two Heavenly Demon Palace guards at the south intersection yawned, turned around and saw Li Xian walking out, then rubbed their eyes.
"This young master... hasn't come out all night?"
Li Xian ignored them and walked west along the long street.
His purple and gold eyes swept across the street.
As the morning dawned, the holy city gradually became more crowded, with monks coming and going.
In the gaps between the crowds, an old man in a gray robe leaned against the alley entrance selling tea, his cloudy old eyes inadvertently glancing at Li Xian.
That glance carried the aura of origin.
Dragon Transformation Realm.
'Being on their tails.'
Li Xian withdrew her gaze.
His steps remained unchanged, his face expressionless.
After walking three streets, the old man in the gray robe did not follow.
But at the corner of Fourth Street, a middle-aged man selling candied hawthorns took over the surveillance.
The second level of the four poles.
Concealing one's divine consciousness within the sugar coating of a candied hawthorn is a skillful technique.
Li Xian's lips twitched slightly.
'The Eternal Calamity Sect, or the Palace of Illusion?'
