In Lan Jue's eyes the Pharmacist was a powerful Adept, but at the same time she was a pitiful woman and a good mother. He hadn't expected her to analyze his Discipline so clearly and logically. She'd analyzed his situation with such clarity.
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "It's not that I want to re-cultivate. It's just that my Discipline has changed.
Forget it, there's no harm in telling you. "
He told her about his encounter with Bize, the Goddess of Wine, in order to save Zhou Qianlin. He also told her about the Clairvoyant's arrangements.
He even told her that he and Zhou Qianlin could recover their Discipline if they were together.
He only hid the fact that they could merge and summon each other.
The Pharmacist's eyes widened at his explanation. "So that's how it is. The Clairvoyant arranged it. No wonder.
I'm almost certain that what you're experiencing right now is a form of re-cultivation.
On the surface it looks like Zhou Qianlin has taken advantage of you.
But in reality you're the one who has taken advantage of her.
The Queen of Heaven's Transformation is a rare Discipline.
With the help of the Heavenly Silkworm Ten Thousand Law Shifter Divine Ability, it is equivalent to you being reborn.
As for your so-called special ability mutation, it shouldn't have lowered your cultivation. There's only one possibility for it to have lowered your cultivation, and that is to remove all the impurities in your special ability.
All that's left is the purest form of lightning. Your cultivation will be based on that pure lightning. "
This was the first time Lan Jue had heard of such a thing. "Is that so?
But I don't feel anything particularly strong! "
"You don't feel anything," the Pharmacist explained. "It's simple. Your Discipline has dropped so much that the first thing you'll feel is weakness, not purity.
Don't worry.
You'll be able to feel the benefits gradually once your cultivation level increases for a period of time. "
"Almost all Disciplines have impurities. There are almost no Disciplines without impurities.
When an Adept ascended to Paragon, it was a process of dissolving the decay and preserving the essence of the body. It was necessary to preserve the essence of the body.
Only then can they fully understand the changes of heaven and earth.
I can even tell you that the moment a Paragon becomes a Paragon, their future is decided.
This is what is known as the Heavens and Earth, the solidification of the laws. "
"That is to say, after your ability is purified, you will be able to refine it.
It would be easier than any other Adept to become a Paragon.
Furthermore, with the way you're cultivating, I'm almost certain that you'll become a Ruler without any bottlenecks.
These were not the only benefits.
You have stabilized your realm once more.
When they broke through to Paragon, the laws of heaven and earth were set in stone, and protogenia solidified. They could feel the changes in their protogenia more clearly than ordinary Adepts, and were able to grasp more of it.
That gives you more potential than most Paragons. "
"It sounds like you know a lot about Paragons," Lan Jue said.
"A little," the Pharmacist replied.
I'm sure you've heard that the Paragon world is divided into four levels. Paragons of the same level are as different as heaven and earth.
The Gourmet had mentioned it earlier.
If the Terminator personally intervened, there was nothing he could do.
It was because of the difference in levels.
Paragons were divided into four levels. The first was the Realm of Protogenia.
The second level was Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, the third was Nirvana, and the fourth was Boundless Magic.
Each level was a world of its own. "
Although Lan Jue was Jue Di's disciple, Jue Di hadn't told them about it because their Cultivation was too low. Now that the Pharmacist was telling them about it, they understood.
Now that the Pharmacist told him about it, he realized that the four levels of Paragons were so distinct.
Moreover, each level had its own name.
The Pharmacist continued. "Of the ten Paragons, only Jueti has reached the Boundless Magic.
Jue Di was the only one who had reached the Infinite, or the peak of Nirvana.
Second is my master, Celestial Master Qian. I'm sure he's at Nirvana.
The third is the Clairvoyant, at the peak of Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. It's a shame he won't be able to break through to Nirvana, otherwise he'd have two hundred more years of life.
The Clairvoyant had the potential to break through, but for the sake of Skyfire Avenue, for the sake of humanity, he overdrew himself in his early years. That's why he lost his potential. "
"Aside from the three of them, the Terminator and the Spacetime Hegemon are also at the second level of the Manifestations of Heaven and Earth.
The other five Paragons are all at the first level of Protogenia.
Only they're at different levels.
The Pontiff and Satan are at the peak of Protogenia. The Wine Master and Keeper are at the peak of the first level. The rest are low to mid level.
The Gourmet, for example, is at the initial stage of Protogenia. He's beginning to understand the mysteries of protogenia and Domains.
He's still in the process of stabilizing his cultivation. "
Lan Jue felt as though a whole new world had opened up in front of him. More importantly, it was the first time he'd heard the Pharmacist confirm that she was Celestial Master Qian's disciple.
"So Celestial Master Qian is still alive …" Lan Jue couldn't help but ask.
If the Pharmacist was Celestial Master Qian's disciple, then she'd been around for at least a few decades.
But the Pharmacist shook her head. "I don't know.
Actually, I'm not Master's true disciple. When I was young, I accidentally obtained a jade pendant. This jade pendant contains Master's Divine Sense inheritance. That's how I obtained Master's cultivation method and Daoist's Primordial Transformation Empowerment.
That's how I became what I am today.
If he hadn't affected my state of mind, I'd have broken through already.
So I've never actually met him. "
At this point, the corners of her mouth revealed a hint of bitterness.
The "he" she was referring to was naturally her husband.
The Pharmacist took a deep breath, pushing down the grief in her heart. She held Jun 'er close to her chest and looked at Lan Jue. "Master told me in his message that he'd gone to seek a new world, to seek the mysteries of the Infinite.
Plus, he once said that if someone can reach the level of the Infinite Qi, then that person will be able to communicate with the universe and reach the state of immortality.
So, although Jueti's combat prowess is greater than Master's, he may not have reached the Infinite. "
Lan Jue shook her head. "That I don't know.
Since you're telling me the truth, I have nothing to hide. I'm Jueti's disciple, adopted and taught by the Old Master. "
The Pharmacist smirked. "I knew. I knew that day." She was referring, of course, to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when Lan Jue had been provoked by the crimson Adept.
The two of them looked at each other. It was as though the barrier between them had been lifted. Lan Jue's face broke into a small smile. "Thank you for telling me so much.
It's helped me see the direction of the future. "
The Pharmacist went on. "I just wanted to tell you that being able to cultivate at this level, and with such talent, will be a great boon for you.
Your body has been remolded by the Queen of Heaven, and with the help of your cultivation, your foundation is the strongest in all of humanity. Once you reach the Paragon level, you'll become a Paragon. Your potential will support you until you reach the third level.
As for the fourth, I don't know. "
Lan Jue finally understood how much effort the Clairvoyant had put into his life. Everything that had happened to him, especially after his encounter with Bize, was all part of the Clairvoyant's plan.
He'd done it to give her a future!
"I'll work hard.
I hope that day comes soon. "Lan Jue smiled.
Jun'Er, who'd been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. "Protect me and mommy."
Lan Jue smiled. She took her from the Pharmacist's arms and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Of course.
Daddy will protect my little Jun'Er. "
The Pharmacist pursed her lips. Her heart warmed at the sight of it all.
"But remember, don't use any outside help to improve yourself. I'd planned to give you some pills to help you recover.
Now it seems that's no longer necessary.
Any outside help will contain impurities. It wasn't easy for you to get rid of the impurities, so don't repeat the same mistakes. Cultivate step by step, and your potential will grow. "
"Alright." Lan Jue nodded.
The most important thing the Pharmacist had done today was give her confidence.
Lan Jue ate lunch with Jun'Er, then coaxed her to sleep. Afterwards, Lan Jue returned to her room with Zhou Qianlin.
To her surprise, Su Xiaosu was there as well.
"Mistress, you've returned." She rose to her feet and bowed respectfully to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "Don't be like that, it's weird.
You've recovered your cultivation? "
Xiaosu smiled. "Thanks to you retrieving the crystal, I've recovered about eighty percent. I'll need to nourish the core for the rest."
"Eighty percent isn't bad. Don't be too hasty." If Xiaosu could recover eighty percent, she'd be ninth level fifth rank. She was strong.
"I've thought about it for a long time," Xiaosu said. "There are some things I need to tell you. But first, promise me you won't be impulsive."
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat when he saw her frown and worry. "Does it have to do with the dungeon?"
Xiaosu nodded.
