Chapter 58: The Method of Refining Immortal Herbs into Pills, Complete!
Facing his teacher Qian Xunji's praise, Yun Yuan did not shake his head in denial. His achievements today were certainly due to his talent, but his attitude and effort were equally indispensable.
Afterward, the master and disciple returned to Spirit City once more. Upon arriving, Yun Yuan immediately took his recorded materials back to his palace and began studying them.
For a long period afterward, Yun Yuan devoted most of his attention to refining immortal herbs into pills. As for meditation cultivation and spear training, he spent comparatively less effort on them.
In terms of soul power level, Yun Yuan had already reached rank twenty-nine—only one step away from breaking through to rank thirty. In his plan, he intended to take immortal pills before obtaining his soul ring.
The reason was that, after consuming immortal pills, his physical fitness would inevitably improve significantly. Additionally, Yun Yuan also planned to refine a pill to enhance his spiritual power.
He wanted to accomplish, at the stage of obtaining his third soul ring, what other soul masters could only achieve when obtaining their fifth—that is, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
As for spear training, Yun Yuan had already reached the realm of spear intent and had a clear direction within this realm. As long as he progressed step by step, he would reach the state of perfection.
After that, he would begin attempting to comprehend the third realm of the spear dao—the realm of spear heart.
This realm was something that only top-tier soul masters could typically enter. His former teacher, Gu Feng, with Soul Douluo cultivation, had only reached the initial stage of spear heart.
The realm of perfected spear heart was usually achievable only by a Titled Douluo. For example, his teacher Qian Xunji, who inherited swordsmanship from his father Qian Daoliu, had already reached the perfected realm of sword heart.
Time passed like a galloping horse, days and months flowing like falling water. In the blink of an eye, a season quietly passed in Spirit City.
At this moment, behind the Pope's Palace, inside Yun Yuan's palace.
"I've done it!"
A clear and pleasant youthful voice rang out, filled with excitement and exhilaration.
The owner of this voice was the current Holy Son of Spirit Hall, the direct disciple of the current Pope, Yun Yuan.
After a full season of research, he had finally developed several formulas for immortal pills.
Heaven does not fail those who work hard. His nearly year-long study of alchemy knowledge had not been in vain.
"Looks like I do have quite the talent in the path of alchemy."
With a smile on his face, Yun Yuan could not help but praise himself.
To develop a method for refining immortal herbs into pills within a year was beyond what could be described as genius. He had to be called a 'sage.'
Looking across the entire Douluo series, the only person Yun Yuan could think of with comparable wisdom was the Necromantic Holy Magic God, Scourge of the Undead, Electrolux, who drifted to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.
The current Yun Yuan could be seen as a growing version of Electrolux, possessing monstrous talent—not only in soul power cultivation but also in alchemy.
"Time to go. I need to head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again. The immortal pills that have been waiting for a year should finally be completed."
After muttering a few words, Yun Yuan first headed toward his senior sister Bibi Dong's palace. This time, he intended to bring his senior sister along.
When the pills were finished, he could directly feed them to her while they were fresh, saving the trouble of bringing them back.
After dragging Bibi Dong out of her palace, Yun Yuan brought her to the Pope's Palace. It was time to inform his teacher of this news.
Qian Xunji had long been extremely eager for the immortal pills Yun Yuan mentioned. After all, the chance to become an Ultimate Douluo was something he desired intensely.
"Teacher, I've completed the immortal herb research. Let's head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now."
As soon as he entered the Pope Palace, Yun Yuan spoke loudly and excitedly.
Hearing this, Qian Xunji, who had been seated handling affairs, immediately stood up, his entire body trembling slightly with excitement.
Immortal pills—he had finally been waiting for this moment.
Looking at Yun Yuan, his eyes were filled with undisguised satisfaction and joy.
"With such a disciple, what more could a master ask for?"
"My disciple Yun Yuan has the potential of an Alchemy Grandmaster!"
After a few sighs of admiration, Qian Xunji was about to immediately take Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but Yun Yuan raised his hand to stop him.
"Teacher, don't be so hasty. We haven't prepared what's needed for alchemy yet. Going now would be pointless."
Hearing Yun Yuan's words, Qian Xunji gradually calmed down. It seemed he had been too eager. The temptation of immortal pills was simply too great, overwhelming his rationality.
"Oh, right, Xiao Yuan, my apologies. Let me prepare everything first before we head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
A few hours later, after Yun Yuan gathered everything needed for alchemy, he set off with Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This trip, Yun Yuan estimated, would increase his soul power rank by more than ten ranks.
Now that his soul power had reached rank thirty, he was just a step away from becoming a Soul Elder. With the medicinal effects of immortal pills and the energy of two soul rings, it was not impossible for his soul power to approach rank fifty.
After a long flight, the three arrived once again at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, unlike previous visits, this time they came to harvest the results.
Entering through the entrance, once inside, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged dramatically.
Already very familiar with the place, Yun Yuan took out specialized tools from his storage soul tool for harvesting immortal herbs and then carefully picked them using a unique method.
The freshly harvested immortal herbs totaled three: Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia, and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone was what Yun Yuan planned to use to refine a pill for Bibi Dong. It was a neutral immortal herb that would not interfere with the poison attribute of her twin martial souls.
In addition, this herb could nourish tendons and bones, open the meridians, and enhance a soul master's innate talent.
It also had another important effect—improving a soul master's physique, appearance, and temperament.
Among all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the most attractive to female soul masters was undoubtedly Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone.
Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid were prepared by Yun Yuan for Qian Xunji. These two herbs had similar effects—both served to consolidate the foundation and strengthen vitality.
Now, Qian Xunji's soul power had reached rank ninety-one, and he was no longer young. To achieve a drastic transformation, he needed the combined medicinal force of these two herbs.
The pills refined from these herbs could enhance the origin of Qian Xunji's Six-Winged Angel martial soul. At that point, his path to Super Douluo would no longer face obstacles.
If his ambition were strong enough, even stepping into the realm of a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo would be within easy reach.
As for the immortal herbs Yun Yuan intended to use for himself, he had already made his choice. His gaze turned toward the spring eye of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where two herbs emitted extreme cold and extreme heat.
Then, his gaze shifted to the neutral zone along the shore where ice and fire energies converged.
A jade-green plant stood there, with three snow-white leaves at its center and crystal-clear droplets hanging like morning dew.
These three immortal herbs were Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. They were precisely his targets for today.
