Chapter 67 Touching the Transformation of the Soul

The sparks are blue and the silver furnace is hot.

A pot of blue and purple medicinal liquid is about to be refined into pills.

On the Star Island, under the flares of the Seven Stars, in the direction of Ziwei, Li Zhi sat in front of a huge two-meter-high furnace with a serious expression, carefully controlling the temperature and observing the changes in the medicine liquid in the furnace.

This was the thirteenth batch of elixir that Li Zhi had refined since he began trying to make the elixir, and it was also the one that came closest to success.

The founder of Taixuan Sect was actually proficient in alchemy, which was something Li Zhi did not know before.

After sorting out all the notes and texts in the seven underground caves, Li Zhi unexpectedly discovered a secret scroll recording the essence of alchemy.

The most exquisite recipe is the one called Nine-Aperture Linglong Pill. The Nine-Aperture Linglong Pill is made of 81 kinds of holy medicines as the main ingredients and 284 kinds of spiritual medicines as the auxiliary ingredients. It can be regarded as the top holy pill under the divine pill. It has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. It can not only be used to strengthen the body and nourish the essence, but also to heal injuries.

The difficulty of refining a holy elixir with such miraculous medicinal effects is naturally extremely difficult, and the minimum requirement for cultivation is to be a great immortal.

For Li Zhi today, refining elixirs of that level is still too far away.

The only elixir he could refine now was the basic elixir recorded in the Essentials of Alchemy - the Star Body-Building Pill, which was made with star grass as the main ingredient, supplemented with 23 other spiritual herbs such as ginseng, red dates, and angelica.

It can effectively assist cultivators below the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm in strengthening their bodies, and it is also the best auxiliary elixir for cultivating the Star War Body.

If the medicine mountain in the Hundred Herbs Map had not revived, giving birth to tens of thousands of magical herbs in the medicine fields, Li Zhi probably would not have tried to make pills here.

Moreover, the quality of the star grass growing on the edge of the island was so good that Li Zhi, who had read the essence of alchemy, was eager to cut it. He thought it would be a pity to waste the growth of the star grass if he didn't cut it to make pills.

After taking inventory of the spiritual medicine stocks on him, Li Zhi finally couldn't help but start trying to make pills.

Moreover, the Lingyao Peak he joined was also famous for its medicine refining, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" contained many practical medicine refining techniques.

It can be said that if you need raw materials, you have the raw materials; if you need means, you have the means; if you need elixir recipes, you have the elixir recipes.

If you don’t practice now, when will you practice?

As for the alchemy furnace that he lacked, it was even easier to obtain.

Some of the remaining star iron used to set up the array base was stored in the seven underground caves.

Li Zhi used some star iron to refine the huge silver furnace in front of him.

Although there are no Taoist patterns engraved inside this alchemy furnace, just relying on the advantages of its materials, the furnace is much sturdier than the magic weapons used by most of the cultivators in the Four Extreme Secret Realms.

Using it to refine the basic Star Body-Building Pill is even more complementary.

In the future, when I return to the sect and learn the art of refining equipment, I will refine this alchemy furnace into a magical weapon. It will definitely be a top-notch alchemy furnace of excellent quality.

Relying on almost unlimited raw materials and the blessing of the alchemy furnace.

By wasting only twelve furnaces of medicinal materials, Li Zhi, who was refining the elixir for the first time, was close to success.

Carefully using the mysterious alchemy method taught by Lingyao Peak, Li Zhi controlled the temperature of the medicine liquid in the furnace.

Use magic power as fire to continuously heat the alchemy furnace to ensure that the elixir liquid is in a constant temperature evolution stage.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the elixir liquid reached the peak of transformation. The originally purple elixir liquid suddenly began to fade, and at the same time, silver-white cores began to condense in the elixir liquid.

Li Zhi did not dare to be careless at all. He used his spiritual power, which far surpassed that of the cultivators in the Lunhai Secret Realm, to observe the formation of the pill.

And according to the process of the pill taking shape, the control method is constantly and finely adjusted.

Finally, a ball of bright white light suddenly burst out from the alchemy furnace, and then a fragrance of elixir wafted out from the furnace, and at the same time, the light began to converge rapidly.

Finally, when Li Zhi opened the alchemy furnace, seven longan-sized, white pills appeared in the furnace.

Looking at the Star Body-Building Pill that was emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance, Li Zhi felt an extremely gentle star energy inside the pill through his spiritual sense.

Afterwards, Li Zhi took out a Star Body-Building Pill and tasted it himself.

The pill melted in his mouth, and Li Zhi instantly felt a warm current entering his stomach and beginning to radiate outwards, with the gentle star essence being transmitted to every extremity of his body.

Then Li Zhi felt that every cell in his body became active, as if absorbing the star energy to strengthen itself.

Perhaps it was because Li Zhi's body had become extremely tough after undergoing two transformations, the medicinal power of a Star Body-Forging Pill only stayed in his body for less than half an hour before being completely digested.

Although the time was short, Li Zhi could feel that the Star Body Strengthening Pill was indeed effective.

Although the effect of one pill is not significant, if you take ten, a hundred, or even a thousand pills, your physical strength will definitely be greatly improved.

After mastering the techniques of refining the Star Body-Building Pill, Li Zhi completely let go and started refining large quantities.

Although he couldn't use much of it himself, the Star Body-Building Pill could definitely be exchanged for money.

In Li Zhi's opinion, the Star Body-Building Pill he refined was not a pill at all, but a pound of pure source.

Moreover, this kind of elixir is quite universal and is almost indifferent to the user's physique or the method of practice. As long as the method does not conflict with the energy of the stars, it can be taken with confidence.

In the next month, Li Zhi began to refine pills repeatedly and made a bunch of Star Body Refining Pills. The best quality batches were effective for the bodies of the Four Extreme Secret Realms cultivators, and the medium quality batches were also effective for the bodies of the Dao Palace Secret Realm cultivators.

Of course, there are also some Star Body-Building Pills of slightly lower quality, but they are also useful to the cultivators in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm.

After a month of hard work, Li Zhi had refined tens of thousands of pills, including 1,073 of top quality, 6,527 of medium quality, and the rest were inferior products.

Making elixirs is not just for the sake of making elixirs.

Alchemy is actually a process of training spiritual consciousness.

After at least a month of intensive alchemy, Li Zhi's ability to control his spiritual thoughts has reached a subtle level.

His physical strength also increased by 30% due to the continuous consumption of Star Body Strengthening Pills.

After taking one hundred and eighty-six top-grade Star Body Refining Pills, the Star Body Refining Pills had almost no effect on him.

Li Zhi ended his journey of refining pills, not because all the high-quality star grass in that area had been harvested by him.

Afterwards, after packing up his things, Li Zhi came to the underground lake again.

Begin final preparations before transformation.

During this period of time, he was not in a hurry to improve his cultivation, but was consolidating what he had learned and understood before, so his cultivation was still a little short of the peak of the Divine Bridge.

To be more specific, the divine bridge spanning the sky above the Sea of ​​Bitterness is still two meters away from reaching the land of nothingness at the edge of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Sitting cross-legged beside the underground lake, Li Zhi emptied his mind and gradually adjusted his body and mind to the best state.

At the same time, in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, Hua Yunlong, who was sent back to the ground by the Supreme Elder Chen Yin using the Xuanyu Platform, finally crossed dozens of secular countries and successfully returned to Taixuan Sect.

Although Grand Elder Chen Yin used the Xuanyu Platform to teleport him to the ground, the teleportation location was not chosen to be the area where the Taixuan Sect was located, but was directly deviated hundreds of thousands of miles away.

It took Hua Yunlong more than a month to get back after going through untold hardships.

After returning to the sect, Hua Yunlong immediately went to the floating fairy island where the master lived.

Seeing Hua Yunlong suddenly return, the head master immediately asked: "Hua Yunlong, where is Grand Elder Chen Yin?"

Hua Yunlong said truthfully: "I don't know either."

The headmaster used his spiritual sense to observe Hua Yunlong's body and found that his body had hardly changed at all. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Yunlong, tell me about your experience in detail."

Then Hua Yunlong told everything he knew.

After listening to Hua Yunlong's report, the headmaster sighed inwardly. He no longer had much hope for their trip to the Star Cave, so he said, "Come with me."

Although the head of Taixuan Sect in this generation is not from the Hua family, his wife is a disciple of the Hua family and has close ties with the Xingfeng Hua family.

Although he was a little disappointed that Hua Yunlong did not get any luck to change his qualifications.

But he also understood that the probability of success of such a thing was not high. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

He also felt that Hua Yunlong seemed to be hiding something from him. After all, the other party was a disciple of the Hua family, so it was not easy for him to search his soul directly.

Afterwards, the head master took Hua Yunlong directly to the small world of sages located in the Fengming Palace.

After meeting the ancestor Hua Yue, he did not care about Hua Yunlong's identity. He directly pointed his finger at the center of Hua Yunlong's eyebrows, and a colorful star bead emitting dazzling seven-color light flew out from Hua Yunlong's sea of ​​consciousness.

When Hua Yunlong saw this, he looked a little frightened.

He did not tell the truth to the headmaster just now, and deliberately concealed the fact that he had obtained the seven-colored star beads. He did not even elaborate on the conditions of Le Yao and Jia Changming, but only said that the two were unconscious.

After observing the seven-colored star beads for a while, Huayue Patriarch sent the star beads back to his sea of ​​consciousness and said, "Refining the innate star spirit beads as if they were your natal stars is a way to become stronger. You can expect great power in the future."

"Thank you for the praise, Grandmaster." Seeing that Grandmaster Hua Yue had no intention of blaming him, Hua Yunlong immediately said with a happy expression.

The head master looked at him meaningfully and said, "Yunlong, tell this ancestor again what you saw and heard in the Star Cave World. Don't hide anything." This time Hua Yunlong no longer concealed anything and directly told ancestor Huayue everything he had experienced.

Hua Yue Patriarch's eyes sparkled with divine light, and he turned his head and said to the headmaster: "Starlight becomes a cocoon, and blood light becomes an egg. It seems that Le Yao and Jia Changming have both received great fortune."

Afterwards, Patriarch Hua Yue cast a spell to cut off all of Hua Yunlong's memories about the Yuheng Star Cave small world and this secret small world, and modified his memory, changing the origin of the seven-colored star beads into the treasure given to him by the Supreme Elder Chen Yin before his death.

At the same time, Hua Yunlong fell into a deep sleep.

The head master seemed to have anticipated this, and not a single strange look flashed in his eyes.

Hua Yunlong might be a powerful person, but compared to the changes that occurred in Le Yao and Jia Changming, he seemed too ordinary.

The head master said, "Uncle Master, according to Yunlong's description, Senior Brother Chen is probably already dead. The reason why Yunlong was sent back early was to ensure the safety of Le Yao and Jia Changming. Perhaps the potential of the two of them is extraordinary, so Senior Brother Chen sent Yunlong away directly."

Hua Yue Patriarch nodded and said, "My guess is the same as yours. I will go outside the region to see if Chen Yin has left. If he is not there, I will go directly to the Northern Region. I guess he will arrange for Le Yao and Jia Changming to stay in the Qingxuan Sect in the Northern Region."

The Qingxuan Sect he mentioned was a puppet sect secretly cultivated by the Taixuan Sect in the Northern Territory. On the surface, it was a small sect native to the Northern Territory, and the strength of its sect leader was only at the fourth level of the secret realm.

In fact, behind the scenes, there are two elders from the Taixuan Sect whose cultivation has reached the Xiantai secret realm and who are secretly in charge of the Qingxuan Sect all year round.

There are no more than ten important figures in the entire Taixuan Sect who know the relationship between the Qingxuan Sect in the Northern Territory and the Taixuan Sect in the Southern Territory.

The headmaster sighed and said, "My Taixuan Sect is still too weak. Even if we have a peerless genius, we dare not make it public."

Hua Yue Patriarch had an inexplicable look on his face, and said, "Everything will be fine. If Le Yao and Jia Changming really complete their transformation, I will train them in the Northern Territory and then bring them back to the sect."

Then, Huayue Patriarch suddenly asked, "Are you saying that Li Changshou from Lingyao Peak really fell in the Yuheng Star Cave?"

The headmaster was somewhat puzzled by the question. He had never met Li Zhi and did not know how special Li Zhi was. He then said, "The star gate has been closed. It will take a hundred years to open it again."

The master's meaning was very clear, after the star gate was closed, Li Zhi would definitely die.

After all, the star gate needs to accumulate enough power before it can be opened by the second-level immortal. The more power accumulated, the longer the starlight channel can extend.

A trace of worry flashed across Huayue Patriarch's eyes, and he said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Among the seven disciples, he was actually most optimistic about Li Zhi. If anyone could use the Creation Starlight Divine Water to achieve a complete transformation, it would be Li Zhi.

After all, even if Li Zhi is not good at music, his understanding of the great Dao is far beyond that of other disciples. Maybe he can master the Phoenix Tribulation Regeneration Technique and complete his transformation.

It’s a pity that Li Zhi was not brought out by Chen Yin, which made Huayue Patriarch feel a little regretful.

In the eyes of Patriarch Huayue, although Li Zhi has an ordinary physique, he has extraordinary comprehension and is still young. Once he completes his transformation, he will be a genius who is no weaker than Hua Yunfei.

Afterwards, Hua Yunlong was sent back to Xingfeng, and Patriarch Hua Yue also quietly left Taixuanmen.

After not seeing Grand Elder Chen Yin at the outer void star gate, he went directly to the North Territory. Moreover, he did not use the domain gate of any force, but directly used the Xuanyu Platform to quietly go to the North Territory.

Afterwards, Patriarch Huayue saw Le Yao, who was still in the process of transformation, and Jia Changming, who had already awakened, in Qingxuan Gate.

After seeing Le Yao's condition, Patriarch Huayue said "good" thirteen times in a row. Although it was not a Star Dao Body, the acquired Seven Star Body was far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

Possessing the Seven Star Body, he can even be compared with the Sons of Heaven from most ordinary holy lands.

There was also a stream of great demon's blood in Jia Changming's body, which made his physical strength increase dramatically.

Although his potential was not as great as Le Yao's, his aptitude had also broken through the limits of his physical fitness and reached a higher level. He was directly accepted as a registered disciple by Huayue Patriarch.

As for Le Yao, Patriarch Huayue planned to accept Le Yao as his last disciple after she woke up, and personally teach her to practice the great way inherited from Xingfeng.

It can be predicted that Le Yao's future achievements will definitely be higher than his, and he may have the opportunity to become a king or even a saint.

As for Li Zhi, whom he had been thinking about before, he had already forgotten about him.

But at this moment, Li Zhi began a cruel transformation journey.

When he jumped into the Starlight Pool of Creation, he immediately felt the pain of his flesh, blood, soul and thoughts being dissolved at the same time.

But at the same time, I felt a magical force of creation constantly repairing the dissolved parts, producing a sense of joy from the bottom of my heart.

Afterwards, Li Zhi's entire body seemed to be dissolving while being pulled by the two forces in a constant rebirth.

The whole process is a mixture of pain and pleasure, which is simply an extreme torture.

Especially after the thoughts were dispelled, the feeling of helplessness was even more frightening, as if the true soul was trapped in the abyss of darkness, with a feeling of never being able to be reborn.

According to the records left by the ancient saints, at this moment one should use the Phoenix Regeneration Technique to rely on the powerful physical vitality to fight against the pain of having one's thoughts stripped away.

But Li Zhi felt that having his thoughts dissolved was not a bad thing.

Just as the ancient Beidou sages cried out: "I have a fairy heart, which has been blocked by dust for a long time. When will the dust be gone and the light be born, shining through the mountains and rivers."

Li Zhi felt that even if the Creation Starlight Divine Water dissolved his thoughts, it would not be able to completely dissolve all of his thoughts.

He believed that after the baptism, his thoughts would become stronger and purer, washing away all worldly distractions, making his immortal platform clearer and his soul closer to nature.

Li Zhi, lying in the Creation Starlight Pool, looked like a corpse thrown into a sulfuric acid pool waiting to be dissolved, with multiple dissolution wounds on his body.

But he was like a wounded person thrown into the fairy spring pool for treatment, and his wounds healed quickly with the nourishment of the fairy spring water.

Under this extreme dissolution and new pulling, the new bone skin eventually becomes extremely tough.

This extremely cruel transformation process is simply horrific.

In other words, after Li Zhi's thoughts were gradually dissolved, he no longer felt the pain.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of soul-wrenching roar would be uttered.

An unknown amount of time had passed before a crystal clear immortal fetus appeared in the Creation Starlight Pool, which could not be shaken in the slightest by the divine water in the pool.

Although the immortal fetus had abundant blood and energy, and its heart beat strongly, it did not feel any soul fluctuations from him.

It seemed that the reborn Li Zhi had become a living dead without a soul.

After a few more days, there was still no movement from Li Zhi in the pool.

At this moment, a sound-shadow bead embedded in the rock wall suddenly began to emit the sound of chanting and summoning souls.

The mysterious sound of chanting and summoning souls became louder and louder, and it lasted for three days in the underground cave.

The eyes of the immortal fetus in the pool began to show signs of opening.

It was not until the sound of chanting and summoning souls penetrated the rock layers and reached the surface that the immortal fetus in the pool finally awakened.

"That was a close call!" Li Zhi said with lingering fear after climbing out of the Creation Starlight Pool.

If he had not arranged the sound of chanting to summon the soul in advance, he would probably never wake up again. The feeling of having his thoughts dissolved was too terrifying.

This soul-calling scripture is a kind of soul-calling technique he created by combining the soul-calling scripture in "Feng Shui Burial Sutra" and the sacrificial scripture in "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven".

I didn't expect that the first complete use of it would be on myself.

At this moment, Li Zhi's eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of worldly vulgarity.

As if it were a newborn baby, it was a look that had not been polluted by the world.

Although Li Zhi looked like a six-year-old child before, his eyes would occasionally flash with the vicissitudes of a young man.

In other words, although his body had rejuvenated, his mind was still that of a young man. Even when he thought of himself as a child, he was just pretending to be a child, instead of acknowledging from the bottom of his heart that he had become a child.

Unlike now, there is no trace of the accumulation of time in his eyes.

It's so clean and transparent that it makes people feel uneasy.

Moreover, his eyes were as sharp as lightning and could see every detail clearly. The clarity of the entire world in his eyes was improved by several levels.

It feels like my vision has gone directly from severe myopia to over 5.0.

There seem to be signs of awakening a special clairvoyance.

Standing by the Creation Starlight Pool, Li Zhi felt the changes in himself, then turned around and grabbed a ball of transparent gel-like object from the bottom of the pool.

After sealing the mysterious substance into the Wheel Sea, he put on his clothes and left the underground lake.

Calculating the time, it's time to leave here.

　Here comes the second update. Good night, everyone.
