"It seems we can't force our way in." Lin Qian frowned and began to carefully observe the surrounding situation.
At this moment, the system prompted her that she needed to find and destroy the rune nodes around the altar to eliminate the blocking force. Lin Qian followed the system's instructions and began searching for rune nodes around the altar.
The ground surrounding the altar was covered with intricate runes, which shimmered with a faint light, dazzling the eye. Lin Qian calmed herself and carefully observed the changes in these runes. After some effort, she finally found several rune nodes. These rune nodes were hidden within the patterns of the runes, and were difficult to spot without careful observation.
Lin Qian concentrated her spiritual power, her longsword gleaming, and slashed forcefully at the first rune node. The instant her sword touched the node, a powerful recoil struck, numbing Lin Qian's arm. But she didn't give up. Gritting her teeth, she attacked again. After several attempts, she finally succeeded in destroying the first rune node.
Next, Lin Qian repeated the process, destroying the remaining rune nodes one by one. As the rune nodes were destroyed, the blocking force gradually weakened.
Finally, Lin Qian successfully broke free from the shackles of this power and arrived before the altar. She cautiously reached out her hand, trying to grab the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
The moment her hand touched the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, a powerful force emanated from it, attempting to repel her. Lin Qian gripped the elixir tightly, refusing to let go. She mobilized all the spiritual energy within her body to resist the elixir's power.
The power of the Golden Core was exceptionally strong; Lin Qian felt as if her body was being torn apart. But she held an unwavering belief: she must obtain this Nine-Turn Golden Core. She gritted her teeth and continuously increased the output of her spiritual energy.
Lin Qian looked at the Nine-Turn Golden Pill in her hand, her heart filled with joy and pride.
After leaving the center of the Linglong Tower, Lin Qian did not immediately consume the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. She knew that the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was extremely potent and required caution when consuming it; it was best to find a safe and secluded place.
"System, help me find a suitable place to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," Lin Qian silently prayed.
"Ding! The system has detected a hidden cave near the host's current location, rich in spiritual energy, suitable for refining elixirs."
Lin Qian smiled, it seemed she was in good luck today, finding a suitable place so quickly. Following the system's guidance, she arrived at the cave entrance.
The cave entrance was narrow and hidden by vines; without careful observation, it would be difficult to discover that this hidden world existed within. Lin Qian pushed aside the vines and entered the cave. The interior was spacious, and the ceiling was inlaid with unknown luminescent minerals, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime.
Lin Qian sat cross-legged in the center of the cave and took out the Nine-Turn Golden Pill from her storage bag. The pill emitted a shimmering golden light, like a sun, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
Lin Qian took a deep breath and swallowed the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a surge of heat that surged through her body. Lin Qian's meridians felt as if they were being torn apart, and the intense pain made her groan involuntarily.
"Ah!" Lin Qian gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. She knew that the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was transforming her body, enabling her to withstand even greater power.
As time passed, the heat within Lin Qian's body gradually subsided, replaced by an incomparably comfortable feeling. She could feel that her meridians had become stronger and wider.
