In this Nanhua Continent, no alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage has ever been able to refine a god-level elixir, just like no cultivator has ever been able to directly jump from the Qi Refining Stage to the Great Accomplishment Stage and then ascend to heaven. However, Lin Dan had accomplished such a shocking thing, and the huge thunder in the sky was the best proof of it.
It has been a long time since any valuable treasure appeared in the Nanhua Continent. This time, not only did the evil demons refuse to leave, but even the righteous people who had been hiding in the dark waiting to take advantage of the situation came out, looking at Lin Dan's cave with burning eyes. They stopped attacking the barrier and stood there quietly, waiting for the moment when the elixir was formed before taking action.
Of course, if this elixir cannot survive the thunder tribulation, they can also kidnap Lin Dan and imprison him for their own use. For those who can refine god-level pills during the foundation-building period, it is worth taking some risks.
Le Zhengjiu also retreated to a range where the thunder could not reach him, and looked at everyone around him with gloomy eyes. Among these people there were minions in the Jindan and Yuanying stages, as well as great men in the Fusion and Tribulation stages. However, there was not a single cultivator in the Dacheng stage. But it was not that they did not want to come, but because the other party was only a kid in the Foundation Establishment stage, they felt it was a bit embarrassing to take action.
However, this is only temporary. Once the news of the magic pill's emergence spreads, these people will also hear the news and start fighting for it. Le Zhengjiu tightly grasped the Sword of Destruction and secretly took out most of his points to exchange for a holy-level pill that could unleash his full potential.
"The medicinal effect of this pill can only last for half an hour. After half an hour, the host will lose all strength and fall into a semi-comatose state. If the host cannot eliminate all enemies within half an hour, the host will face the threat of death, so this system recommends that the host consider it carefully." 001 said in a cold, inorganic voice.
"Let's exchange it, no more nonsense." Le Zhengjiu's consciousness moved, and a round pill appeared out of thin air in his palm. At the same time, the thunderbolts in the sky fell one by one, and in an instant, the huge mountain range was flattened. Only Lin Dan and her alchemy furnace stood in the lightning, without being affected at all.
Ninety-nine and eighty-one thunders illuminated everyone's eyes, which were filled with fear, greed and plunder. They all took out their magic weapons, ready to take action at any time. Even those old monsters who had been in seclusion for a long time felt something and woke up from meditation one after another. How many years has it been since such a fascinating treasure appeared in this continent that is gradually heading towards destruction?
The emotion of greed was infinitely magnified, and Le Zhengjiu swallowed the pill without hesitation and prepared for battle. Just at this moment, two pills shining with bright light jumped out of Lin Dan's alchemy furnace and flew straight into the sky. Lin Dan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so how could he possibly hold them? Although he reached out his hand at the first moment, he still caught nothing.
This is why she must find Le Zhengjiu to protect her. If her cultivation level was just right for these two magic pills, and she could have captured them in her palms the moment they came out of the oven, how could such a big commotion have occurred?
Le Zhengjiu did not disappoint her. As soon as the pills appeared, he rushed over instantly and held them tightly. On the way, he swung several swords and easily killed several demon cultivators and righteous people who were fighting with him for the pills.
"Hold it." When he fell back to Lin Dan, he split several cultivators in half. With a gust of wind from his sleeves, he blocked the dripping blood rain for Lin Dan and set up a very solid barrier.
"Thank you for your help." Lin Dan did not act pretentiously. He ate the pills immediately after receiving them, then sat cross-legged in the barrier and began to absorb the medicinal power.
The cultivators who had been fighting for the food outside were originally surprised that Lin Dan could refine two magic pills in one furnace. However, when they saw that she actually ate them, they immediately went crazy. They wanted to rush to her immediately, cut open her stomach with a knife, and take out the undigested magic pills. But how could Le Zhengjiu let them succeed? He had a stern face and drew his sword.
His cultivation base skyrocketed in an instant, and after two years of accumulation, he had already refined some moves of the Chaos Sword Art and compiled it into another sword art that belonged to him alone. Although its power was slightly inferior, it was still one of the top techniques in the South China Continent. He could kill people above his level. Monks below the fusion stage were no match for him. With just one swing of his sword, dozens of monks were killed on the spot. Monks above the fusion stage had to work together in groups of two or three to pose a certain threat to him.
But others were trying to seize the treasure, while he was fighting for his life, so the chaotic situation was quickly under his control. His chaotic sword intent could break all laws and kill all evil, so this was a one-sided massacre. No one could get close to Lin Dan under his protection, even though she had set up an extremely strong barrier around her.
Time was slowly passing, and Le Zhengjiu's fighting style became more and more crazy. The heads and limbs he had cut off were scattered all over the ground, and the sky was filled with the horrifying aura left by his crushed golden elixirs, primordial infants, and souls. He was originally the young master of the Xuan Ji Sect, known for his integrity and uprightness. However, after this incident, he might be labeled a madman.
But the attraction of the world's greatest treasure far outweighs the fear of being slaughtered by him, not to mention that he is alone with limited combat power. As long as everyone joins hands, they can always get rid of him. So more and more monks came from afar and joined the fight.
Seeing Le Zhengjiu being slapped hard by a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and falling from midair, and then being pierced through the chest and abdomen by several sword cultivators in succession, he had no power to fight back. The elder of the Wuji Sect who was hiding not far away whispered, "Young Sect Master, Le Zhengjiu's spiritual power is exhausted, I'm afraid he can't hold on any longer. Should we go up and help him?"
Lin Zeyu waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer. Sister is not at the end of her rope yet. Wait until these people break her barrier and surround her, then we can go over. It is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake. If we don't save her at the critical moment, how can she be grateful for everything the sect has done for her?"
The elders thought the same and suppressed their thoughts.
However, they did not know that Lin Zeyu did this out of selfish motives. He would never go to save Lin Dan, he just wanted to buy time and gain the advantage. After these people killed Le Zhengjiu, broke the barrier, cut open Lin Dan's stomach and took out the magic pill, he would rush out in the name of revenge for his sister and grab the final fruits of victory. By then, the magic pill will be his, the position of young sect leader will still be his, but Lin Dan will have turned into a handful of yellow earth.
He had planned very well, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen. Seeing Le Zhengjiu fall to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, Lin Dan, who was in a trance, opened his eyes and used his consciousness to send out a loud voice: "I, Lin, have taken note of your deeds today. When I have mastered the art of alchemy, I will definitely take revenge for my enemies and repay my kindness for my kindness!"
No one expected that she, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, not only did not explode after taking the magic pill, but she even had the energy left to transmit sound. They were shocked. In just this instant, Le Zhengjiu turned over and moved to the side, avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, people from Xuan Ji Sect rushed over to help him. Even the Sect Master came. The spiritual pressure of the Great Accomplishment Stage covered the sky and the earth, and in an instant, some cultivators with low cultivation base exploded into a puff of blood mist.
The leader of the Xuan Ji Sect was the first great master to be killed, but he did not do it to seize the treasure, but to protect Lin Dan, so the situation was immediately reversed.
The cultivator who tried to rob the divine pill was caught in a dilemma. At this moment, Lin Dan in the barrier suddenly burst out with a terrifying spiritual pressure, followed by layers of dark clouds and rolling thunder in the sky.
"She, how could she absorb the medicinal power of the magic pill? This is impossible!" The monks looked at the sky in disbelief.
"This is not surprising. She fell from the Jindan stage and could barely withstand the effects of the medicine. It would be too late if she explodes. We have to act quickly, otherwise she will consume more of the two magic pills!" Money can move people's hearts, and this is also true in the world of cultivation. Even with the presence of the Sect Master of Xuan Ji Sect, these people rushed forward regardless.
Le Zhengjiu was still killing frantically, his eyes red as blood, and he memorized the faces of these people firmly in his mind. Liang Jinxi, however, held the Apocalypse Sword horizontally in front of him and refused to let him fight any further. He gritted his teeth and smiled at the woman, but there was no tenderness in his eyes, only cold scrutiny.
Liang Jinxi stepped back a few steps and said hurriedly: "Big Brother, I have invited the sect master. With him here, Senior Sister Lin will be fine." As soon as she finished speaking, thunder fell from the sky. Lin Dan, who was in the lightning, quickly condensed a golden elixir, and a dazzling divine light burst out of his pupils.
Ninety-nine eighty-one thunderbolts proved that this was a ninth-grade golden elixir, but this was not the end. The calamity clouds dispersed and gathered again, and in the blink of an eye another ninety-nine eighty-one thunderbolts fell, striking the cultivator who tried to sneak attack Lin Dan to death. After forming the elixir, she also formed the infant stage, at a speed rarely seen in the world!
"What kind of magic pill is this, why is its effect so powerful?!" The cultivator who had exited the range of the thunderbolt changed his expression drastically.
But no one could help them resolve their doubts. Lin Dan, the only one who knew the answer, started to attack the barrier of the Spirit Severing Stage after breaking through the Infant Stage, and he soon succeeded. Another ninety-nine eighty-one thunders fell. The originally bright sky was now firmly locked by her calamity clouds. There was darkness within a thousand miles, and only lightning flashed through the sky and earth.
The Nanhua Continent, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years, had never been so shaken, and the gradually fading power of the Heavenly Dao had never issued such a deafening roar. Even two hundred thousand years ago when all the stars gathered, no genius could attract 243 consecutive thunderbolts.
And Lin Dan not only attracted it, but also withstood it. Every thunder tribulation destroyed her body, but the Bu Tian Dan and Da Zao Dan in her abdomen would repair all the damage for her in the first time. As long as she can endure the pain of her body and soul being torn apart repeatedly, she will be able to advance without a doubt. But what does all this pain mean to her? She had experienced far more pain than this.
She successfully broke through to the Spirit Severing Stage, and the monks who were watching went from shock to disbelief to numbness. They thought that this was the end, but they saw the calamity clouds condense again, and they were more vast and thicker than before.
"Can these two magical pills actually help people advance? They pushed a girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Fusion Stage, and also protected her Dao heart and body from being destroyed by the thunder tribulation. If I could get them, if I could get them..." A cultivator who had been stuck in the Fusion Stage for thousands of years muttered with bloodshot eyes, and jealousy and unwillingness had actually given birth to a demon in his heart.
There are many other monks whose souls were taken away by the effects of these two magical pills. If they had known earlier that these two magical pills could help people ascend to heaven, they would have fought for them even at the cost of their lives. But it's too late to say anything now. God is above us. As long as they dare to enter the range of the thunder tribulation, what awaits them is 100% death. There is no chance of luck.
“It’s too late, too late! Lin Dan broke through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Fusion Stage in a blink of an eye, and she is only two steps away from ascending. The medicinal power of the two pills must have been absorbed by her long ago. It’s useless for anyone to grab them now, it’s too late!” A casual cultivator shook his head and sighed.
Only then did everyone get rid of their greed and regain their rationality. The magic pill has been absorbed, so their trip here today was in vain. But Lin Dan is still there, her skills in refining medicine are still there, and the recipe for the magic pill is still there. As long as they can kidnap her or make friends with her, they still have hope of getting the magic pill. Even though the ladder to heaven is broken, these people still believe that they will be the one who can ascend to heaven by chance, and will not let go of such a treasure.
The murderous intent in everyone's eyes faded away, and they stared at Lin Dan with a determined look.
The elders of Wuji Sect wanted to go out to help Lin Dan several times, but were blocked by Lin Zeyu and could only hold back reluctantly.
Another ninety-nine eighty-one thunderbolts fell, and Lin Dan was struck to pieces with blood and his body was charred, but he would recover as before in the next moment. She didn't need any magic weapon to protect herself from disasters. Those two magic pills could repeatedly pull her back from the brink of death, replenish her with abundant spiritual energy, and reshape her perfect Taoist body. Seeing her easily resisting the Way of Heaven and her body gradually becoming indestructible and powerful under the tempering of hundreds of thunders, the cultivators' eyes turned red, their blood became hot, their heartbeats quickened, and even their consciousness began to tremble.
The effects of these two magical pills are so astonishing that even a saint would be tempted by them! A genius is always a genius. Even if she falls for a while, she will be able to stand up again one day! At this moment, everyone's fear and admiration for Lin Dan had reached its peak. No one would want to kill her, just as no one would want to kill the hen that lays the golden eggs. With her, establishing a force larger than the Xuan Ji Sect is no longer a daydream; with her, immediate ascension is within reach!
What a cunning Xuan Ji Sect! If Lin Dan can be saved today, tomorrow. She would definitely be grateful to Xuan Ji Sect and would repay them with all her strength. After all, she loved Le Zhengjiu deeply, and the other party almost lost his life in order to protect her! Thinking of this, the eyes of the cultivators looking at the leader of Xuan Ji Sect changed.
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect appeared calm on the surface, but his consciousness was actually wavering. He never expected that Lin Dan was so talented that he could refine a magic pill while only in the foundation-building stage! If he had known this would happen, he would never have driven people away!
Many people were struggling with regret, but Lin Dan had already withstood the last thunderbolt. Sensing that the effect of the medicine was about to run out, he took out a robe, put it on, and stepped out of the barrier.
"She's coming!" The cultivators who wanted to take Lin Dan for themselves rushed forward. Of course, those who dare to take action are all those whose cultivation is above the fusion stage. After all, Lin Dan's cultivation level is there, and not just any small fry can deal with her.
Le Zhengjiu shook off Liang Jinxi and took a step forward, but he eventually exhausted the last bit of his spiritual power and suddenly fell down. Liang Jinxi seemed to have anticipated this. He immediately opened his arms to catch him and hid behind an elder.
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect wanted to protect Lin Dan, and just as he was gathering a powerful palm force, he saw Lin Dan take out a big knife from the Qiankun Ring, and without blinking, she split the two demon cultivators who attacked her into two halves, and crushed their souls.
Her swordsmanship is extremely domineering, fierce, and peculiar, and carries a strong aura of blood and murder, as if it is a unique entity, yet it has incorporated certain moves of the Chaos Sword Art. It is actually a rare and peerless martial art in the world. If it is cultivated to perfection, its power will definitely not be inferior to that of the Chaos Sword Art.
The leader of the Xuan Ji Sect boasted of his profound experience and had seen almost all the peerless martial arts in the South China Continent, but the swordsmanship used by Lin Dan was something he had never heard of or seen before. When Lin Dan raised the sword to chop people, he didn't feel any hesitation at all, as if he had practiced this sword technique countless times and it had become his instinct.
No matter whether they were cultivators in the fusion stage or the tribulation crossing stage, they all became dead souls under her sword. Her methods were extremely strange and evil. She only knew how to attack but not defend. Her wounds all over her body resulted in corpses all over the ground and blood rain all over the sky. However, this reckless fighting style was nothing to her, because no matter how badly she was injured, she would recover in an instant with the remaining medicine. So the monks who besieged her quickly understood that as long as the effect of the medicine had not completely disappeared, Lin Dan was immortal and invincible!
"Retreat quickly!" The monk who valued his life turned around and ran away.
“I don’t believe this!” As soon as the cultivator who was not afraid of death stepped forward, Lin Dan’s knife took away his head, and his consciousness was shattered, and he disappeared forever between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the entire cultivation world has reached a consensus - Lin Dan is the most powerful alchemist in Nanhua Continent, and also the most capable alchemist in Nanhua Continent. If you make an enemy of her, you must be prepared to die!
The leader of the Xuan Ji Sect was completely helpless and could only set up a barrier to block the prying eyes of the other two great master cultivators. He had already realized that with the blessing of the magic pill, no one among all the cultivators present could pose a threat to Lin Dan except him. No wonder she would offer those non-toxic pills at this time. It turned out that it was not because she was blinded by the benefits, but because she had long known that she could quickly become strong and deal with all the troubles.
At least there was Le Zhengjiu here who could protect her for a moment while she was still weak. If she had gone somewhere else and caused such a big fuss, she would have been killed by someone the moment the magic pill came out. She had planned all of this, but Le Zhengjiu rushed in without hesitation and almost lost his life for her.
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect wanted to understand the whole story, and he loved and hated Lin Dan. He loved her unparalleled talent, but hated her for her cold-blooded exploitation.
Lin Dan killed them all in one breath, then walked steadily to the semi-conscious Le Zhengjiu and used his spiritual sense to check his physical condition. Liang Jinxi subconsciously hugged his senior brother tightly, looking at Lin Dan with both vigilance and fear. In the past few years, she was always proud in front of this woman and had a strong sense of superiority, because she knew that her qualifications and talents were far superior to hers, and the eldest senior brother only had her in his heart.
But now it’s different. Lin Dan, who had fallen from a high altitude, has returned to the top in a blink of an eye and trampled all the proud sons of heaven under his feet. Now she is a powerful being in the fusion stage, and the only alchemist who can refine god-level elixirs. In this Nanhua Continent, who dares to mess with her?
Liang Jinxi lowered his head, avoiding Lin Dan's scrutiny, but heard his master ask in shock: "You, you actually cultivated a pure body?"
Liang Jinxi suddenly raised his head and used his spiritual sense to probe Lin Dan, and his pretended calm expression finally collapsed. She clearly felt that Lin Dan's body had merged with the surrounding spiritual energy, as if she did not exist at all, and yet seemed to be everywhere. From then on, as long as she wanted, she could hide in the air and move freely between heaven and earth. Others inhale spiritual energy and exhale foul air, but she inhales spiritual energy and exhales pure spiritual energy. Therefore, all the spiritual energy in the vast universe can be used by her at will, and the entire South China Continent will become her purple palace and dantian. In battle, she would never fall into the predicament of running out of spiritual power, because her pure body could call upon the spiritual energy around her infinitely.
At the same time, her Nine Yin Body is still there. In other words, she possesses a dual Taoist body, one is Nine Yin and the other is Immaculate. Her cultivation speed is more than a hundred or a thousand times faster than that of others. All the geniuses in the world, including Yue Zhengjiu and Liang Jinxi, are nothing compared to her extraordinary talents. As long as nothing unexpected happens, she will eventually become a legend in the South China Continent!
As soon as the leader of Xuan Ji Sect finished speaking, the cultivators who came to "rescue" Lin Dan were stunned, especially the elders of Wu Ji Sect, who regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. If the young sect master hadn't been stopping them, they wouldn't have come out after everything was settled. Now, let alone timely assistance, there's not even any icing on the cake!
Lin Dan did not answer the Xuan Ji Sect's leader's words, but took out a porcelain bottle and said slowly: "This is the Yang Shen Pill. Le Zhengjiu's consciousness has been severely damaged. Please feed him this pill to ensure that his realm will not fall. In three days, I will refine a better Yang Shen Pill and personally deliver it to your sect. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Young Sect Master, please stay!" Several elders of the Wuji Sect shouted hurriedly, but they only saw a shadow that suddenly disappeared into the distance.
Everyone saw what Lin Dan experienced after her realm fell. Wuji Sect was so cruel to her, so naturally she would not be attached to them. She would probably start a new life after this departure. In this case, it would be better to help her out and improve our relationship. Thinking of this, everyone left in a hurry.
Being watched by many mocking or gloating eyes, several elders of Wuji Sect were so angry that their blood almost flowed backwards. They turned around and glared at Lin Zeyu fiercely, and said in a voice transmission: "Young Sect Master has a good plan. We will report the truth to the Sect Master after we return. Please clean up this mess yourself! If the eldest lady really starts a new business, the loss of the sect will be compensated by the young sect master!"
The group left angrily, leaving Lin Zeyu standing there feeling extremely embarrassed and terrified. How could he have known that Lin Dan's fighting ability was so strong? Not only was she not killed, but she also killed all those who attacked her. Her value has far exceeded expectations. In order to welcome her back, a young sect leader whose cultivation is only at the Jindan stage can be sacrificed by the sect.
The more Lin Zeyu thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he turned around and ran away.
Xuan Ji Zong sighed as he looked at his back, then took the eldest disciple from Liang Jinxi and used his spiritual sense to check his physical condition, but was shocked to find that he was indeed seriously injured. His purple palace was already crumbling and his sea of consciousness was riddled with holes. If he was not treated, he might not be able to maintain his cultivation to the middle stage of the distraction realm.
However, no matter how fierce the battle just now was, it was just a fight between us, and no spiritual consciousness was used at all. Why did the eldest disciple get injured so badly? Besides, these injuries were inflicted day by day and month by month, not from a sudden attack in an instant. Who could be this person who could cause such cumulative damage to the consciousness of the eldest disciple right under his nose? Thinking of this, the leader of Xuanji Sect subconsciously looked at Liang Jinxi and suddenly asked: "Jinxi, why is it that after two years, you and your senior brother still can't achieve spiritual integration?"
"Master, I don't know the reason and I don't want to do it!" Caught off guard, Liang Jinxi couldn't find any reason to shirk.
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect was just trying to trick his young disciple, but he didn't expect to learn such embarrassing news. He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and had never seen a couple whose spiritual consciousnesses could not merge. The eldest disciple's consciousness was severely injured, which showed how ruthless Liang Jinxi was. No matter how shy she is, she should have gotten used to it after two years, right? What reason did she have to reject his spiritual consciousness and even attack him when she loved her eldest disciple?
At this moment, the leader of Xuan Ji Sect thought a lot and couldn't help but have a little doubt about this little disciple whom he had always loved, but what followed was more regret. If he had not separated Lin Dan and his eldest disciple, both of them were peerless geniuses, and they would probably have already practiced the Chaos Sword Art to the seventh level, right? He originally thought that Liang Jinxi was more talented, but now looking back, it turns out that the one he discarded was the real pearl!
An inner sect disciple who fell behind Liang Jinxi complained indignantly: "Big Brother was seriously injured in order to protect Lin Dan, why did she leave without even looking at Big Brother? Can a bottle of Yang Shen Pill repay Big Brother for saving her life? What an ungrateful person!"
Several people nearby immediately agreed, their hearts filled with jealousy towards Lin Dan.
However, Lin Dan's behavior soon told the world whether she was an ungrateful person or not. She chased after the monks who had escaped, vowing to avenge Le Zhengjiu. She killed the independent cultivators without hesitation and robbed their treasures. She also destroyed the sects that had sects and also robbed their treasures. In three days, she destroyed sixteen sects and killed more than one hundred and eighty independent cultivators. Her realm rose sharply amid the slaughter, and she finally stabilized at the peak of the fusion stage, just a thin layer away from the tribulation stage.
Three days later, she knocked on the door of Xuan Ji Sect, bringing with her a Nine Revolutions Spirit Nourishing Pill and two Qian Kun Rings filled with treasures.
