The Distant Heaven Pill can increase the chances of reaching Core Formation. This kind of pill is not commonly seen, and is usually reserved for the Sect. Only those who have made a certain amount of contributions to the Sect, or are core disciples of the Sect, have the right to use this pill.
Five Distant Heaven Pills was a huge number. After all, Li Muwan was all alone, and it was not easy to refine it in a hundred years.
Wang Lin looked at it for a while, then picked one up with two fingers and put it into his mouth.
The Distant Heaven Pill this time was much more potent than the one he had consumed in the past. After all, the pill he had consumed back then was refined using other herbs.
Time slowly passed, and the first Distant Heaven Pill failed.
Despite that, all the Spiritual energy in Wang Lin's body surged into his Dantian.
The second Distant Heaven Pill failed as well, but the Spiritual energy in Wang Lin's body was even more condensed. If one were to look inside his body, they would discover that Wang Lin's Dantian was like an ocean, and the Spiritual energy in his meridians was like a hundred rivers flowing toward his Dantian, forming a slowly spinning vortex.
Every time the vortex spun, the Spiritual energy in his meridians would rapidly surge, which was quite a strange sight.
The third Distant Heaven Pill failed as expected, but the vortex in Wang Lin's Dantian spun faster and faster. Gradually, a drop of golden liquid condensed in the center of the vortex.
Wang Lin was not in a rush to take the fourth pill. Instead, he focused on consolidating his foundation and cultivating his Qi. As time passed, the vortex in Wang Lin's Dantian finally slowed down. At this moment, there were three drops of golden liquid in his Dantian.
These three drops of golden liquid were actually formed by the Spiritual energy in Wang Lin's body. The moment the three drops of golden liquid appeared, the Spiritual energy in his meridians disappeared. Even the vortex in his Dantian became dimmer.
What Wang Lin cultivated was the Ancient God Tactic. However, under his forceful obstruction, the Ancient God Tactic was not absorbed by his body. Instead, it formed a spiritual power cycle within his body.
Among the Ancient Gods, there was no such thing as Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, or Nascent Soul. After all, almost no Ancient God would give up on external cultivation and walk the path of internal cultivation. Thus, aside from Wang Lin, no one else had ever used the Ancient God Tactic for internal cultivation.
Therefore, Wang Lin felt quite strange about condensing all the spiritual power in his body into three drops of golden liquid, but he couldn't find any information or memories related to it.
He could clearly feel that each of the three drops of golden liquid contained spiritual power that was no weaker than the full power of a Core Formation cultivator.
This phenomenon was quite similar to when he was in the Jue Ming Valley in the State of Zhao, where he relied on his Ultimate Realm Spiritual Power to condense the Frost Pearl.
However, in the end, Wang Lin's body was destroyed and his Ji Realm merged with his Divine Sense. From then on, he could no longer use the Ji Realm Cold Pearl attack.
Looking at the three drops of golden liquid in his dantian, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Without a word, he picked up the third bottle. This bottle didn't have a wax seal and there were more than 30 black pills inside.
This pill was called the Light Sealing Pill. Li Muwan once said that this pill was very effective and could only be consumed after reaching the Core Formation stage. If one consumed it during the Foundation Establishment stage, they could only consume one pill at most. If they consumed too many, it would easily cause their body to swell and their spiritual power to become chaotic.
Wang Lin's expression was calm. After picking up the pill, he didn't even look at it and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly, his meridians that were originally empty of spiritual power began to appear. As more and more spiritual power appeared, under the effect of the Ancient God Tactic, almost in an instant, the spiritual power in Wang Lin's body was completely restored.
He immediately channeled his spiritual power into the whirlpool in his dantian. The whirlpool was originally dim, but now it suddenly lit up and its slow rotation became fast.
After an unknown amount of time, the amount of golden liquid in Wang Lin's dantian had increased to five drops!
A feeling of swell suddenly appeared in his dantian. Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he picked up the last two Distant Heaven Pills and threw them into his mouth. Then, he clenched his teeth, channeled the Ancient God Tactic, and closed his eyes to meditate.
The two Distant Heaven Pills were like raging waves that roared through Wang Lin's body, creating a huge pressure. This pressure acted on his dantian and was immediately transferred to the five drops of golden liquid.
Suddenly, the five drops of golden liquid that were originally separated began to move closer to each other. Finally, they suddenly collided with each other and fused together.
At the same time, as the effects of the Distant Heaven Pills intensified, Wang Lin's dantian began to show signs of cracking. This cracking could not be stopped and immediately spread. Finally, Wang Lin's dantian completely shattered into pieces.
These fragments were pushed back and fused with the golden liquid. What followed was the spiritual energy from the Distant Heaven Pill. The various substances fused together until a golden, fist-sized core appeared in Wang Lin's lower abdomen!
On top of this golden core, countless thin tentacles grew out and connected to all of the meridians. As it slowly rotated, a huge amount of spiritual power came out from it and instantly circulated around Wang Lin's body.
At this moment, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shined so brightly that no one could look at them directly. The threshold from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation had been crossed by Wang Lin!
At the same time, Li Muwan had already stayed in the Cloud Sky Sect's Scripture Pavilion for almost a month. In this month, she almost never left the Scripture Pavilion. Every day, she would look through the books to find a way to open the pill seal.
In reality, up until now, she had already found three ways to open the pill seal. However, all three methods had a certain destructive nature. When opening the pill seal, it would cause a lot of damage to the pill inside. It could even turn the pill into a useless pill.
This was something Li Muwan couldn't accept. She knew that the pill inside was very likely the key for Wang Lin to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Sun Zhenwei had been paying attention to Li Muwan's movements. He was very confused about why she had stayed in the Scripture Pavilion for so long. He felt like there was something wrong with this.
However, no matter how much he guessed and analyzed, he still couldn't see through the truth.
There was also the disciple named Wang Lin. In this month of time, he didn't go out to find Li Muwan.
The flying sword he placed next to Li Muwan also didn't have any reaction. Although all of this was normal, Sun Zhenwei still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
However, there was only a little more than a month left until the cultivation pair. During this time, many sects sent people to congratulate him. Sun Zhenwei needed to greet them one by one, so he no longer paid attention to this matter.
The late stage Nascent Soul ancestors of the Cloud Sky Sect also knew that Li Muwan wasn't willing to agree to this matter, so they didn't push her too hard. They didn't even ask why she had stayed in the Scripture Pavilion for so long. They even opened up the Scripture Pavilion and let Li Muwan look through it. This could be considered repairing the rift between them due to the cultivation pair.
On the day that there were still twenty days before the dual cultivation, Li Muwan finally found a sealing technique that was more reliable than the previous three methods in an ancient book in the cabinet.
She calculated in her heart and found that this method had a 50% chance of not damaging the quality of the pill inside the furnace. Even if it did damage the pill, it wouldn't cause too much of an impact. At the very least, the chance of it becoming a waste pill was the lowest out of all the methods.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she clenched her teeth and decided to use this method.
After making her decision, Li Muwan immediately made a copy of the method. She didn't immediately leave, but picked up a few more books. After carefully looking at them for half a day, she gently put them down, made a few copies, and left.
In reality, during the month that Li Muwan was in the Scripture Pavilion, she made a lot of copies every day. The contents of the books she read were very complex, and she didn't just focus on unsealing pills.
The reason she did this was to confuse others. Li Muwan wasn't a new cultivator. On the contrary, after experiencing so many things, her originally smart mind had become very sharp.
Otherwise, as a woman, it would be extremely difficult for her to survive in this cruel cultivation world.
This cautiousness more or less had something to do with Wang Lin. It could be said that part of Li Muwan's cautiousness came from her years with Wang Lin in the Sea of Devils.
This cautiousness saved her life many times after she left Wang Lin.
She knew that the Cloud Sky Sect, especially Sun Zhenwei, would be suspicious of her staying in the Scripture Pavilion for so long. They would definitely try to find out what she was looking for.
As a result, Li Muwan's cautiousness played a big role. Even if someone came to investigate, it would be very difficult to find out what Li Muwan's real goal was.
Also, even if someone tried to use a copy of the book, it would be useless. In order to confuse others, Li Muwan divided the important parts of the book into more than 10 different parts. As for the pill sealing technique, it was only a small part of the large amount of information.
Not long after she left the Scripture Pavilion, Sun Zhenwei walked in. After he entered the Scripture Pavilion, he waved his hand and a purple token appeared in his hand. The word "Cloud" was clearly written on the token.
The moment the token appeared, the space 30 feet before him twisted and two grey robed people appeared. The two of them looked at the token, knelt on the ground, and respectfully said, "Outer sect disciples greet the sect's Cloud Token."
"This Scripture Depository has always been guarded by outer sect disciples. The two of you have been monitoring Elder Li for the past month. Have you found anything?" Sun Zhenwei's face was no longer gentle. Instead, it revealed a sinister expression.
One of the grey robed people respectfully said, "The books Elder Li has been looking at are very messy. From pill recipes to herbs, there is almost nothing. According to disciple's observation, there is nothing special."
Sun Zhenwei furrowed his brows. He did not believe that Li Muwan would waste more than a month's time just to look at these. After a while, he asked coldly: "Are there any Inscription items?"
The other grey robed person calmly said, "There is, but the things she recorded are also very messy. Elder Li doesn't seem to have a fixed target.
Of course, there is one other possibility. "
Sun Zhenwei's eyes lit up and he said, "Speak."
The grey robed person's expression was normal as he said, "This Elder Li is very smart and cautious. She already knew that there would be people monitoring her, so she deliberately mystified us and hid her goal with a lot of books. If that's the case, then she has obviously succeeded."
Sun Zhenwei snorted. He had already guessed this, but after thinking about it, he only had 20 days. He wanted to see what else Li Muwan could do.
Furthermore, Sun Zhenwei wasn't afraid of the person Li Muwan was acquainted with. The matter of dual cultivation was decided by the ancestors. If that person appeared, he wouldn't even need to do anything. The late stage Nascent Soul ancestors would make sure that person wouldn't be able to return!
After Wang Lin reached the Core Formation stage, he took several more bottles of pills. As the pills entered his body, they were absorbed by the Ji Shen Tactic. Gradually, the amount of pills he took increased and his cultivation level increased. He broke through the early stage and reached the mid stage.
However, Wang Lin still felt that the speed was too slow. He didn't care about the consequences and continued to take pills. However, as the number of pills he took increased, he could clearly feel that the effects of the pills were slowly decreasing.
Li Muwan had mentioned this phenomenon to him before. This was a habit. Once a person took too many pills, their body would produce some strange changes. Although the spiritual power inside the pills was still the same, because of the strange changes in the body, the moment the pills entered the body, before the Ancient God Tactic could be used, most of the spiritual power would immediately dissipate without a sound.
This phenomenon was known as the Bodily Barrier.
This was a problem that almost everyone who took pills would encounter. There was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to take more precious pills.
Otherwise, there was no other way. No matter how long it took, the Bodily Barrier would always exist.
After taking pills for so many days, the Bodily Barrier appeared in Wang Lin's body. However, this didn't stop Wang Lin from continuing to take pills. Li Muwan also had a way to deal with the Bodily Barrier.
In fact, with the alchemy grandmaster Li Muwan by his side, Wang Lin didn't need to think at all when it came to pills. Li Muwan had already prepared everything for him.
Wang Lin picked up the second bottle from the right. This bottle was the key to solving the Bodily Barrier. The medicine inside was called the Bodily Barrier Dispelling Pill. Although it was called the Bodily Barrier Dispelling Pill, it didn't actually dissolve the Bodily Barrier. It was just a medicine that Li Muwan had refined from many rare herbs that could help the body absorb spiritual energy.
According to the grade, this pill was only a first-grade pill. However, if it was used properly, then it could have a miraculous effect at certain times.
After taking the Bodily Barrier Dispelling Pill, Wang Lin immediately picked up several bottles of pills and poured them all into his mouth. These pills immediately melted. Under the effect of the Bodily Barrier Dispelling Pill, although the speed at which it dissipated didn't change, the speed at which Wang Lin's body absorbed it did suddenly increase.
Although it was only a bit faster, if it was someone else, they would also be able to feel the effect of the Bodily Barrier Dispelling Pill and use this bit of speed to obtain more spiritual energy.
However, Wang Lin's Divine Blessing Technique was originally a devouring technique. At this moment, when the Divine Blessing Technique devoured the spiritual energy, it immediately expanded infinitely. A large amount of spiritual energy that should have dissipated didn't have a chance to dissipate, but was immediately activated by the Divine Blessing Technique.
Using this method, Wang Lin's cultivation soared.
Finally, his cultivation stabilized from the middle stage of Core Formation to the late stage of Core Formation. Although he hadn't completed it yet, he was very close.
However, the pills given to him by Li Muwan had already been completely consumed by him.
On this day, Wang Lin woke up from his meditation in the heaven defying bead space. He could feel a trace of summoning coming from the devil Xu Liguo. According to his previous agreement with Li Muwan, this meant that Li Muwan had already found a way to open the pill seal.
Wang Lin stood up and took a step forward. Suddenly, his figure suddenly became faint, as if he had shattered the void, and instantly disappeared without a trace.
In the house of the northern courtyard, pieces of crystal light flashed from the void and quickly condensed together to form a human figure. That human figure slowly solidified and revealed the appearance of Wang Lin.
After Wang Lin appeared, his eyes lit up and he looked at the flying sword on the ground that he had thrown away a month ago. He reached out with his right hand and the flying sword immediately fell into his hand. Wang Lin glanced at it and immediately saw that it contained a restriction set up by divine sense. This restriction wasn't strong, but it was quite clever. As he expected, it was used for surveillance.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he waved his right hand and the flying sword immediately stabbed into the ground. His body moved forward, pushed open the door of the house, and walked out of the courtyard.
But at this moment, he suddenly stopped and frowned. He saw that the door to the courtyard had been pushed open without a sound. Zhou Lin slowly walked in!
When he saw Wang Lin, his eyes narrowed. With his cultivation level, he could immediately sense that Wang Lin was different. Before he went into seclusion, Wang Lin was only at the third level of Qi Condensation. But now, even he couldn't see through him. According to his analysis, even if Wang Lin wasn't at the late stage of Core Formation, he was at least at the mid stage. A complicated expression appeared on his face, and then he bitterly smiled. "Master was being watched and couldn't come in person. She asked me to take you somewhere. Ai."
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he looked at him and nodded.
Zhou Lin walked into the courtyard and closed the door behind him. He once again looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and bitterly smiled. "This … should I call you Uncle Master … or … forget it. Since you are Master's friend, then you are my Uncle Master. Uncle Master, please!"
Zhou Lin shook his head. He was originally in seclusion when he suddenly received a message from Li Muwan, asking him to come out. Zhou Lin was an orphan that Li Muwan had saved many years ago. He listened to Li Muwan's words and had always respected and appreciated her.
From Li Muwan's words, he had already guessed that the apprentice he had accepted was a friend of his Master. Because of this, his mind was in a mess. It took him a long time to sort out his thoughts before he reluctantly accepted this reality. Because of this, when he saw the huge change in Wang Lin's cultivation level, although he was stunned, he wasn't surprised. In his mind, Wang Lin's cultivation level had always been like this, and he had just been hiding it.
Zhou Lin arrived outside his room. His hands moved slightly and a curtain of light suddenly appeared above the room. Shortly after, the door automatically opened.
Zhou Lin turned around to look at Wang Lin before entering the room.
Wang Lin didn't step forward. Instead, he secretly placed a restriction on Zhou Lin's body that could activate at any time with his divine sense. Only then did he casually walk away.
Wang Lin always had a cautious attitude toward everyone. Although this Zhou Lin had been good to him and was also Li Muwan's disciple, Wang Lin's habits wouldn't change because of anything or anyone. When it was time to be on guard, he wouldn't be careless.
When he scanned the room with his divine sense, other than the faint fluctuation of spiritual energy under the pill furnace on the ground, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
The moment Zhou Lin entered the room, he immediately slapped his bag of holding and took out three pieces of jade. He placed them under the pill furnace according to the order. Then he took two steps back, flipped his hand, and shot out a ray of light. Suddenly, the three pieces of jade began to shine with a green light. At the same time, the pill furnace trembled and slowly sank three inches into the ground.
Zhou Lin took a deep breath, grabbed the pill furnace, and turned it half a circle from left to right. In an instant, a ray of light appeared on the wall in front of him.
This ray of light moved like a dragon, leaving behind a long tail. Its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a formation.
Zhou Lin took a few steps back and respectfully stood to the side. He said in a low voice, "This formation is connected to a secret room. It is the alchemy room that master secretly prepared. Outsiders don't know about it. Martial Uncle, please enter. Disciple will stand guard outside. If anything happens, I will report it immediately."
Wang Lin didn't step forward, but stared at the formation on the wall. After a while, he frowned and glanced at Zhou Lin. He asked, "Your master is in the secret room?"
Zhou Lin secretly sighed. He knew that Zhou Lin wouldn't believe him, so he bitterly smiled and took out a piece of jade from his bag of holding. He said, "This is a talisman that master gave disciple. Martial Uncle, please take a look."
Wang Lin accepted the jade and scanned it with his divine sense. Then he looked at Zhou Lin and walked toward the wall without a word. The moment his body touched the wall, his figure disappeared.
Zhou Lin's expression was calm as he turned the pill furnace. After the formation disappeared, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, opened the pill furnace, and began to refine pills with a serious expression.
However, his divine sense was spread out to closely observe the outside of the room. If there was any movement, he would immediately notify his master.
Zhou Lin didn't know the relationship between Wang Lin and his master, but he knew that everything he had was given to him by Li Muwan. Therefore, he would do his best to complete any task that Li Muwan gave him.
He also knew that his master must be doing something very mysterious. This must be directly related to the dual cultivation ceremony in 20 days. Once he got involved, it was very likely that he would be implicated.
When Wang Lin reappeared, he saw Li Muwan.
In front of him was a secret chamber. This secret chamber was not big, and the most eye-catching thing was the huge pill cauldron in the center. Above the pill cauldron, there were seven black dragons. At this moment, the seven black dragons were constantly spewing out purple mist. The purple mist slowly rose up and gathered together to form a sphere.
Inside the ball was a small pill furnace with a piece of yellow paper on it. Li Muwan's beautiful figure was staring at the pill furnace with a nervous expression. After she saw Wang Lin enter, she softly said, "Above here is the main square of the Cloud Sky Sect. To open the pill seal, we will need the help of the Cloud Sky Sect's seven Heaven Stealing Cauldrons!"
