"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Chen Yi gently rotated his fingers, and the Yangwen Sword evenly cut the Tianxing Sword Bamboo into twelve pieces.
He collected all the juice from it.
Although the raw materials for the Twelve-Story Jade Elixir are simple, the refining techniques required are quite demanding.
The Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo needs to be divided into twelve portions, each with different sizes, shapes, cooking times, processing times, and the spiritual energy added.
Moreover, there is another crucial condition for refining this jade liquid: two strands of true spiritual energy must be injected during the refining process.
However, this was not difficult for Chen Yi.
In the past five days, he has cultivated the Waterfall Heart Sutra to perfection. He only needs to consume the Twelve-Story Jade Liquid to break through the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and then refine the Kan Water Treasure Jade into his body to condense the Waterfall Jade Dew True Spiritual Qi.
During the process of refining the Twelve-Story Jade Liquid, he infused it with the True Spiritual Energy of Nine Yin Earth Fire and the True Spiritual Energy of Earth Element Subduing the Earth.
The only thing that was difficult to control was the heat, since it was his first time refining it and he had no experience whatsoever.
But whenever he's unsure, he just does whatever he feels like.
Most people would mess things up in this situation, since it's not a matter of how much water to add when cooking rice.
Even a slight increase in temperature could cause the entire structure to collapse.
But Chen Yi continued refining the elixir without incident...
"So that's how the term 'Mastery of Skill' is used?" Chen Yi thought to himself.
Although he had never refined the Twelve-Layer Jade Elixir, his control over the heat was like that of a seasoned alchemist who had been immersed in this art for many years—effortless and perfectly precise...
Time passed second by second as the fire was being controlled.
Cold sweat gradually seeped from Chen Yi's forehead.
Twelve hours have passed since he started refining the pills.
It takes a total of twelve hours, or twenty-four hours, to refine the Twelve-Story Jade Elixir. During this time, one must be highly focused and continuously use the fire control technique. We have now barely completed half of it.
"Fortunately, my cultivation level is already at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and I have condensed three strands of true spiritual energy, which is much more abundant than that of others at the same level, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on..." Chen Yi secretly rejoiced.
The reason he was able to distract himself and talk to himself was because of the "multitasking" entry.
He could even refine pills while simultaneously using the "Secret Technique of Qi and Blood Furnace" to accelerate the repair of his magical power.
This Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Technique of the Transcendent Realm not only transformed his physical body, but also greatly enhanced the original effects of the secret technique.
Chen Yi looked at the juice of the Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo. After twelve hours of boiling, it had not evaporated, but had only become more concentrated.
At this moment, the juice has been incorporated into the outer shell and internal fibers of the Tianxing Sword Bamboo. To the naked eye, it looks like a pool of water reflecting a whole starry sky, which looks quite mysterious.
The remaining twelve hours were extremely difficult for Chen Yi.
Fortunately, thanks to her strong willpower and the supervision of the schedule, she managed to hold on until the very last moment.
"Buzz!"
The flames on the surface of the alchemy furnace went out instantly, and a huge and pure spiritual energy burst through the furnace.
Chen Yi quickly activated the formation to lock in the spiritual energy, otherwise it would be easy for others to detect it.
"The spiritual energy emitted during the formation of the pill alone is enough to make the spiritual energy concentration in my dormitory exceed that of the Yinshan Sect Ruins. It truly deserves to be called a spiritual liquid that can help people break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining!"
He couldn't wait to open the alchemy furnace.
A pool of liquid the size of a fingernail appeared before them. It looked somewhat like mercury, more like a liquid metal than a liquid.
Its appearance is bluish-black, similar to that of Tianxing Jianzhu, and its surface seems to have starlight flowing around it.
Chen Yi used his spiritual power to draw the Twelve-Story Jade Liquid to himself.
"Such a huge Heavenly Star Sword Bamboo, and in the end only this piece the size of a fingernail remains, it's all the essence!"
After saying that, he put it directly into his mouth.
It is worth mentioning that the Twelve-Story Jade Liquid is not refined by swallowing it like ordinary pills, but by holding it in the mouth.
In an instant, a cool sensation rushed straight to the top of my head, as if I were soaring from the ground to a height of ten thousand miles, with a cool breeze brushing my face.
Next, he pushed the liquid in his mouth further in, trapping it in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, he visualized the throat chakra and activated the Ren meridian acupoints to participate in the microcosmic orbit.
"Snap!"
His previously unwavering cultivation level began to show a slight loosening.
When ordinary people cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining, the barrier they see is as wide and boundless as the earth, and it is impossible to shake it.
At this point, most people would think that this is the end of the Qi Refining realm, and there is no way forward.
To continue, one must transform spiritual energy into liquid and condense it in the lower dantian, which is the foundation building of the human path.
Only a small number of people with deeper foundations were able to continue their journey with the help of true spiritual energy and foundation-building materials, carving out a path through the barriers.
However, most people still cannot get through; they are stuck at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, which they consider the end of Qi Refining.
When such people establish their foundation, their spiritual energy rises to the middle dantian, which is the position of the Yellow Court, thus laying the foundation for their Dao.
But the cultivation world has no shortage of talent.
There are always a very few exceptionally gifted individuals who manage to forge their own path to heaven, crossing barriers comparable to the distance from the Earth's surface to its core.
When such people establish their foundation, spiritual energy lifts their Dao foundation to the Purple Mansion in the Upper Dantian, also known as the Niwan Palace.
This foundation of the Dao is revered as the Foundation Building of the Heavenly Dao!
"boom!"
At this moment, Chen Yi's cultivation level completely broke through the limit of the eleventh level of Qi Refining, reaching a new height.
Qi Refining Level 12, achieved!
......
"Um?"
Just as Chen Yi advanced to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, thousands of miles outside the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, in a Taoist temple shrouded in mist.
An old Taoist priest with white hair, wearing a crane-feather cloak, frowned, and with a gentle wave of his whisk, several divination tools appeared.
"The fortune of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom has changed. Our sect sealed off the fortune of this kingdom in its early years. How could a descendant at the twelfth level of Qi Refining still be born?"
"Fine, once I've deduced this person's name and appearance, I'll erase them..."
He closed his eyes and deduced.
But soon, he opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Can't deduce it? How could this be? A junior who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even with the protection of a Golden Core cultivator from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, should have no way of being unable to deduce the exact location..."
"How dare those True Immortals from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, who are busy coveting the Dao Fruit position, cultivate a seedling capable of establishing the Heavenly Dao under my very nose?"
Undeterred, he calculated it again.
Without exception, they couldn't calculate anything!
"Who on earth is blocking my calculations?" he asked with a solemn expression.
He moved his lips, transmitting his voice to his disciple outside.
"Suxin, I hereby order you to go to the Crimson Dragon Kingdom to find a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, or perhaps the thirteenth level..."
"Master, the Crimson Dragon Kingdom has a population of two billion. Where should we begin to search for Su Xin?" a female voice asked.
Her voice is clear and gentle, like a mountain spring, flowing slowly and steadily, carrying a tranquil power.
The old Taoist stroked his beard and uttered three words: "Foundation Establishment Certificate..."
