Tempered Immortal

Chapter 271: Core Formation

A pleased look appeared on Lin Xuan’s face. He patted his storage bag and took out the Water Cloud mother sword and Curved Hook. There was a dazzling light, and it took him only the time to light up an incense stick to dig out a simple cave house

Anyway, it was just a temporary residence. He would leave after he successfully made the pill. Without any embellishment or decoration, Lin Xuan just cut out a few stone rooms.

Then he waved his sleeve and took out the colourful array formation flags one by one. He was already familiar with the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array, so it was easy to set up.

With the protection of this array formation, even if there was a cultivator in the early stages of the Core Formation Stage, it should be able to withstand for a day or two.

Subsequently, Lin Xuan also arranged two concealment restrictions, with his current cultivation base, plus this spell from the Nine Heavens Spirit Art, he believed that even if it was a master of the Golden Core state, they would very likely be deceived if they weren’t paying attention.

Finally, Lin Xuan took out a talisman, handed it to Lin Yue’er, and told her to activate it when he condenses his Golden Core in case it caused a spiritual energy abnormality.

Although there will probably be no one in the vicinity, it’s better to be careful than to make a mistake.

Lin Yue’er nodded obediently. She decided to stop cultivating during this period, and she was fully committed to protecting Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smiled at her, then turned into a beam of light and entered the new Cave Abode.

He did not become busy with cultivation. Instead, he slept for a whole night, and then began to meditate, restoring his energy and spirit power to their peak state.

Then he set foot into the training room, flipped his hand, and took out a crystal clear jade bottle. He opened the cork, and he poured out three longan-sized red and white pills.

On the surface, these medicine pills have all completely lost their spiritual power. They were similar to wasted pills, but Lin Xuan’s face revealed a cherishing and heavy expression.

Heavenly Dust Pill!

The miraculous medicine pill left behind by the founder and greatest genius of the legendary Spirit Pill Mountain had once made the whole You State cultivation would go crazy. Even an old monster like the Extreme Demon Venerable made a move for it

Legend has it that after taking this spirit medicine, a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection would easily succeed in condensing a Golden Core. Moreover, it had a great additive effect on the formation of the Nascent Soul.

Nascent Soul, for Lin Xuan, is still too far away.

However, there was a 90% chance of success in Golden Core condensation, this effect was heaven-defying, it’s no wonder that the two masters of the righteous and demonic factions went ballistic.

Unfortunately, the Sky Demon Lord was extremely stubborn. Seeing that there is no way out, he would rather die than allow his enemies to benefit, he actually merged the red vital energy with it, turning it into a waste.

With the powerful Extreme Demon Venerable breathing down their necks, everybody was only able to stare blankly and finally leave.

On the contrary, Lin Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, picked up the objects.

With the blue star sea, he can naturally re-purify this material.

However, as he looked at the red and white pills in his hand. Lin Xuan’s heart was inexplicably tense. This is understandable, as whether it was the earliest purification of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill, or even the previous Spirit Gathering Pill, the herbs required to concoct them were in abundance, so even if the purification failed, he wouldn’t feel distressed. However, there are only three Heavenly Dust Pills.

Moreover, the purifying ability is not omnipotent. As long as it fails once, the materials are completely scrapped.

Looking at the three pills lying in the palm of his hand, Lin Xuan couldn’t bring himself to do it.

After a while. He took a deep breath and finally picked up one of them with the greatest determination.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on mobilizing the blue star sea within his body.

…

He sat in meditation for the whole day, jumping from the morning sun that rose on the horizon until the afternoon sunset.

Finally, Lin Xuan raised his head. He opened his eyes and two small pills appeared in the palm of his hand. One was snow-white all over and crystal clear, the other bright crimson with a faint heat radiating from it.

Heavenly Dust Pill!

Lin Xuan took the white pill and fondled it.

After a while, he stored them away separately.

Afterwards, he went back to the living room to sleep.

The next day, after the recovery of physical strength and spiritual power, the purification resumed.

In this way, it took a full three days for Lin Xuan to purify all three pills, but fortunately, there was no failure.

However, Lin Xuan didn’t take the pills immediately, but after a little pondering, he rested for another night.

The next day, he carefully purified them again.

Unlike the other common pills in the cultivation world, such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, and so on, there had only been three Heavenly Dust Pills so far, and naturally, there was no way to distinguish their grades.

However, according to Lin Xuan’s thoughts, even if his founder knew everything about heaven and earth, there should still be many impurities.

The more impurities he extracted, the greater the effect of the Heavenly Dust Pil. For his impact towards the Core Formation Stage, Lin Xuan was determined to succeed!

Of course, he was very careful during this process, adhering to the principle of ‘doing what I can’. He spent a few days obtaining three pure versions of Heavenly Dust Pill.

Subsequently, Lin Xuan took one pill and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Soon, the elixir dissolved in his stomach and flowed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians along with his spiritual power.

The expression on Lin Xuan’s face became more and more solemn.

…

After forty-nine days, Lin Xuan took the second Heavenly Dust Pill.

Continue!

In a blink of an eye, he has already broken through the bottleneck and stepped into the eighty-one days mark.

Lin Yue’er stood outside bored and idle. Although there was a blood bond between her and the young master, and they could feel each other’s state of mind. However, Lin Xuan was now cultivating with all his strength, her spiritual sense was restrained and the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array was blocking her way, so she was completely oblivious to what was going on inside!

Several times, she wanted to fly in and have a look, but she was afraid of disturbing Lin Xuan’s seclusion, so she had to grit her teeth and hold back that urge.

“The Young Master is a lucky man, it should be okay!”

Yue’er crossed her arms and prayed in silence. She was always grateful to Lin Xuan. She was originally a weak and lonely little ghost. If it weren’t for the young master, she wouldn’t be here.

Yue’er was praying for Lin Xuan’s safety when the sky suddenly dimmed.

The moment before, the blazing sun was still hanging high above. Suddenly, it became inexplicably dark, as if the sun was devoured.

The sky was clear, but streaks of strange lightning cut through the sky, and the surrounding spiritual Qi inexplicably thickened…

“This is…”

Yue’er was shocked, and then immediately overjoyed. There was only one explanation for this abnormal phenomenon, the young master arrived at the crucial stage of forming the Golden Core.

With a flash of green light, little Yue’er had already appeared in the sky above the barren hills. She waved her hand and activated the talisman that Lin Xuan gave her.

After the talisman turned into ashes, it turned into a barrier and wrapped the whole barren mountain within it, blocking all the Spiritual Qi, and the abnormal signs in the sky quickly disappeared.

However, before Yue’er could catch her breath, a chill suddenly travelled through her face, and a powerful spiritual power was rapidly approaching her.
