Lin Qian's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with focus. With a flick of her wrist, a pool of clear spiritual spring water flew from the jade bottle and landed in the blazing alchemy furnace. The moment the spiritual spring water touched the flames, it instantly transformed into dense white steam, tinging the originally eerie flames with a hazy mist.
"Sizzle—"
Enveloped in steam, the mythical beast egg emitted a strange sound, like a protest or a wail. Lin Qian's lips curled into a cold smile: "Little brat, you're quite resilient."
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals as she chanted incantations. As the last syllable faded, a complex "Flame Gathering Spirit Array" took shape beneath her feet. The array's patterns shimmered with a dazzling red light, and the surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy seemed to be summoned, rushing eagerly into the alchemy furnace.
The azure flames were tinged with a hazy white by the rising steam of the spiritual spring, as if veiled in a light gauze, both alluring and eerie. Lin Qian relentlessly cast spells, the spiritual spring water transforming into spiritual energy that was consumed by the flames. The color of the flames constantly shifted, finally settling on a dazzling crimson gold, as if even the air itself was about to be burned away.
"Flame Gathering Spirit Array, activate!"
Lin Qian let out a low shout, her hands leaving afterimages in the air as a complex array slowly unfolded beneath her feet. The surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy seemed to be summoned, surging wildly towards the alchemy furnace, causing the already scorching temperature to rise even higher, and even the space itself seemed to distort.
Under such terrifying temperatures, the divine beast egg inside the alchemy furnace finally began to change. The once indestructible golden barrier began to fluctuate violently, like a small boat swaying precariously in a storm. Fine cracks spread across the eggshell like a spiderweb, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
"Cook it for me!"
A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Qianmei's eyes. Unconvinced, she continued to channel her spiritual power, manipulating the flames to envelop the divine beast egg even more tightly.
Time ticked by, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Qian's forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them away, her eyes glued to the alchemy furnace. Finally, with a crisp "crack," the divine beast egg burst open, and a rich aroma instantly filled the air.
The aroma was incredibly unique, refreshing and invigorating, as if even the soul had been cleansed. Lin Qian took a deep breath, feeling her spiritual energy flow more smoothly. She resisted the urge to immediately swallow the divine beast egg and continued to urge the flames until the egg was fully cooked.
The moment Lin Qian lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace, an even richer fragrance wafted out. A crystal-clear, softly golden "boiled egg" lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, radiating an alluring glow.
Lin Qian couldn't wait to scoop out the "boiled egg," and without caring that it was too hot to handle, she peeled off the shell and took a bite. An indescribable deliciousness exploded on her tongue, as if it contained the most primal power in the world, flowing down her throat and into her entire body.
An indescribable deliciousness exploded on her tongue, as if containing the most primal power of heaven and earth, flowing down her throat and into her limbs. Lin Qian couldn't help but groan in pleasure, feeling her meridians become wider and stronger under the impact of this power, and her cultivation bottleneck even began to loosen.
"As expected of a divine beast egg that appears only once in ten thousand years, it is truly extraordinary!" Lin Qian's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. She swallowed the entire "boiled egg" in a few bites, then sat cross-legged and circulated her cultivation technique to refine this enormous energy.
Moreover, this is the deepest part of the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm, where the spiritual energy is several times denser than outside. In addition, the fire spirit-gathering array set up earlier has not completely dissipated, making this place an excellent place for cultivation.
Lin Qian felt her meridians were being stretched painfully by this massive spiritual energy, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
The energy of the divine beast egg was too domineering, and with her current late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, she could not fully absorb it.
She dared not delay, and quickly calmed herself down, circulating the "Nine Heavens Profound Technique" to guide the violent energy through her body.
As she circulated the cultivation technique, Lin Qian felt a surge of heat coursing through her body, as if it were about to burst her apart. She gritted her teeth, desperately suppressing this violent power and guiding it to circulate according to the technique's pathways.
However, the energy of the divine beast egg was too immense. Every time she circulated it through her body, she felt as if her meridians were being pierced by countless fine needles at the same time, causing unbearable pain.
However, this spiritual energy was too domineering. Even with the guidance of cultivation techniques, it ran rampant like a wild horse. Lin Qian gritted her teeth and persevered, guiding the spiritual energy to repeatedly break through the bottleneck. Cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her face gradually turned pale.
"No, this will damage my meridians!" Lin Qian was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The energy contained in the divine beast egg was far too great, far exceeding her expectations.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "Energy disorder detected within the host's body. Activate energy channeling function?"
"Energy channeling function?" Lin Qian was taken aback, then overjoyed. "It's the system! Activate it quickly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cool current flowed through her body, and the previously violent spiritual energy immediately became docile, obediently circulating according to the cultivation technique's pathway. Lin Qian immediately felt much more relaxed and quickly seized the time to refine and absorb it.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qian felt the violent power within her body finally subside, transforming into streams of pure spiritual energy that nourished her meridians and dantian. Driven by this power, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
