Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 796 Entering the Unity Realm!
The Gate of Immortal Crossing.

Alchemy room.

An hour later, the medicinal properties of the vine were completely absorbed.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and felt light and refreshed, with abundant blood and energy. He felt even better than before he broke the formation.

He then looked at the crimson buds in front of him; the glow of the sunset was still there, but much softer than before.

"There are no longer any barriers between me in terms of essence, energy, and spirit. The three are interconnected. This thing can strengthen the soul, which for me means increasing essence, energy, and spirit, and at the same time, allowing the three flowers to solidify!" The thought flashed through his mind.

His gaze returned to the crimson fairy bud.

The tender sprouts, no bigger than grains of rice, were imbued with a jade-like glow, as if a ray of dawn had been condensed on their fingertips.

He then raised his hand and put it in his mouth.

The celestial sprout entered the mouth but did not dissolve. Instead, it trembled slightly and, as if possessing a spirit, fell straight into the depths of the dantian, hovering before the celestial seedling that had grown to more than one foot and four inches tall.

next moment.

hum!
Suddenly, the fairy bud burst forth with thousands of fine, hair-like crimson rays, which, like roots, burrowed into the branches, leaves, and stems of the fairy seedling.

The seedling trembled violently and began to grow again at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few breaths, the seedling grew an inch taller, its leaves became wider and thicker, and faint blood-red veins flowed between its veins, as if blood were flowing.

"It has such an effect!!" He was overjoyed when he saw this scene in his dantian.

At the same time, a gentle yet powerful spiritual force emerged from the immortal seedling, rising up and ignoring all obstacles, rushing straight to the spiritual platform.

Jiang Ning felt a surge between his brows, and the divine flower floating in his mind's eye shone brightly, its seventh petal rapidly solidifying.

At the same time, through the bridge connecting essence, energy, and spirit, the flower of energy in the dantian and the flower of essence in the heart are also rapidly solidifying.

Compared to the effects of the vine itself, the medicinal power of the fairy bud is more rapid and more potent.

The medicinal effects were being rapidly absorbed by his body, and the sapling was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No wonder that person from the Flying Immortal Sect possesses a six-foot-tall immortal tree!" Jiang Ning suddenly understood after recalling what had just happened.

He also gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of the four words: wealth, companionship, law, and land.

That Lingxuzi, within his own grotto-heaven, enjoyed the resources of the Flying Immortal Sect, which allowed him to grow to the height of a six-foot-tall immortal tree.

At that time, the immortal root within him had transformed into a seedling that was only a foot tall and could not yet be called a tree.

Now that he has experienced the effects of the Dragon Blood Green Immortal Vine, he personally understands the powerful efficacy of the treasures from the blessed land.

At this moment, as the immortal seedling grows and the medicinal properties are released, the essence flower in the heart and the qi flower in the dantian are also drawn in, their crimson and gold colors shining brightly and complementing each other.

The three flowers resonated together, forming a faint three-colored halo around his body that slowly rotated.

Standing to the side, Ji Mingyue stopped distributing the pills and looked at Jiang Ning, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The crane that had been dozing off beside him opened its eyes and looked at Jiang Ning.

The man and the crane watched for a while, until Jiang Ning made no further moves, before slowly withdrawing their gaze.

The crane lowered its head and fell asleep again, while Ji Mingyue continued to sort and identify the pills in the pill cabinet.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning had been secretly observing the solidification of his three flowers until the three flowers residing in the spiritual platform, heart, and dantian reached nine-tenths solidification.

"It'll be soon!!" He felt a surge of excitement.

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit—with each additional petal, this secret technique becomes more powerful, which also means that his strength will be enhanced.

Furthermore, the number of petals on the three flowers also represents his own shortcomings.

Only when the three flowers are in balance, and the essence, energy, and spirit are in balance, can a stable state of primordial chaos be formed.

During the process of tasting.

The three elements of essence, energy, and spirit must not be out of balance.

When the balance is disrupted, internal turmoil occurs.

If this continues for a long time, it can even lead to a drop in realm level, and the Primordial Chaos Domain will also collapse.

Only by going further and entering the realm of perfect harmony can one break free from these constraints.

The simultaneous growth of a petal from all three flowers signifies that the essence, energy, and spirit remain in balance.

The strengthening of these three elements will further enhance the power of the Primordial Chaos Domain.

A few more moments passed.

It only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"It's done!!"

He was secretly delighted.

At that moment, the three flowers completely solidified from the ethereal.

The flower has seven petals and blooms with crimson, gold, and silver rays of light.

The glow of the sunset was even more magnificent than before.

He felt the Qi in his dantian surging, like the ebb and flow of tides, emitting bursts of booming sounds.

I felt my blood and qi surging like a red dragon, roaring incessantly.

I felt divine thoughts spreading outwards like a tide.

The breathing of the guards outside the alchemy room, the whispers between Shen Wenyuan and Yun Yinzi, and the rustling sound of soldiers trudging through the snow below the mountain were all clearly audible.

Every snowflake that falls between heaven and earth is reflected in his mind.

His perception is broader, larger, and clearer.

He slowly gathered his mind and brought his outward-radiating divine sense back into his body.

At this moment, my mind is as clear as a mirror, as pure and bright as ice and snow.

At this moment, he felt that he had nothing left to lose, and every bit of power of essence, energy, and spirit transformed into three floating flowers.

The three flowers reside in the Lingtai (spirit platform), the heart, and the Dantian (lower abdomen).

The three forces converged and resonated within the body, slowly giving rise to wisps of golden streams.

"As expected, my current strength of essence, energy, and spirit can only condense seven pieces of the Three Flowers, which also means that my upper limit is seven pieces. Now that the seven pieces have been formed, essence, energy, and spirit merge and become one without any hindrance, directly transforming into golden divine power!"

"And all of this is because I took this step before!!"

Feeling the changes within his body, he felt a faint sense of joy.

For a first-grade martial artist, achieving a balance of essence, energy, and spirit to attain Hunyuan and generate the Hunyuan Domain is extremely difficult.

But going a step further, compressing, sublimating, transforming, and generating divine power within the inner world, presents an even greater challenge.

He has now condensed his first wisp of divine power, which is a symbol of entering the Unity Realm.

Throughout the entire process, he did not experience any difficulty whatsoever.

It wasn't as difficult as I had initially thought.

The fusion of the three energies was as natural as water flowing into a channel, without any compression or sublimation process.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, golden threads flashing in them.

He stood up straight, and his joints made a series of soft, cracking sounds, like the first ice of spring breaking.

How are you feeling?

Ji Mingyue had finished checking the pill cabinet and was now sitting by the bronze stove, warming herself by the fire. The firelight made her cheeks look slightly red.

"Very good." Jiang Ning smiled slightly and nodded: "The Dragon Blood Azure Immortal Vine truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure. The vine body reshapes the physique, and the immortal buds cleanse the soul. Now, both my physical body and spirit have recovered to their peak, and my strength has even improved, and I may have even advanced a step further in my realm!"

"A further advancement in your realm?" Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning with surprise and disbelief.

Just now.

Jiang Ning raised his right index finger, and a strand of golden thread emerged from his fingertip, swirling around his finger.

"What is this?!" Ji Mingyue's pupils shrank.

"The first wisp of divine power!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue's expression changed.

How did you do that?

"Your spirit and energy have improved even further; success has come naturally!" Jiang Ning said.

As they were talking.

The golden thread at her fingertips burrowed back into her body.

Then it transformed into countless faint golden lights, raining down on the body.

This step went more smoothly than he had imagined. But it was only the first step towards the Unity Realm.

To achieve this, one must integrate this power into every cell in the body, making each cell a carrier of divine power.

Only when divine power permeates every corner of the body and every cell can one achieve the state of perfect unity.

According to his understanding, the previous Prince of Huai'an had reached this level.

This is called the pinnacle of martial arts.

The so-called pinnacle is reaching the true peak of martial arts, from the ninth rank to the first rank.

There is no way forward.

The so-called supreme powerhouses are all those who earned their titles through hard work and battles.

In terms of realm, there is no substantial difference between the strongest and the pinnacle of martial arts.

Having taken this step, his next goal is to reach the pinnacle.

But the road ahead is still long.

Because it takes a long time to refine and perfect the divine power so that it can be integrated into every cell of the body and become a carrier of the divine power.

To shorten this process, one needs to strengthen one's spirit and energy.

Currently, his essence, energy, and spirit are in three stages, with seven petals blooming. However, even at the highest level of martial arts, he cannot yet be described as powerful.

A variety of thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue saw Jiang Ning's expression and felt relieved.

"That's good." She said softly, and continued, "Now that we've come this far, I can truly rest assured!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Then, Ji Mingyue remembered something and pointed to several open alchemy cabinets behind her.

"There are quite a few medicines stored in this alchemy room. I took a quick look and they are all of good quality. There are medicines for nourishing the spirit, replenishing the soul, healing injuries, strengthening the blood, opening wisdom, and condensing qi, etc."

"If you factor it all in, it's not low at all!"

Jiang Ning nodded and walked to the alchemy cabinet, his gaze sweeping over the rows of jade bottles and porcelain jars of varying sizes.

Ji Mingyue pointed out, "I've roughly categorized them according to their medicinal properties. The cabinet on the left mainly contains pills that strengthen the body's foundation and replenish qi and blood. The ones in the middle focus on nourishing the spirit and calming the mind. The ones on the right are some rare pills that detoxify, heal injuries, and break through barriers."

Jiang Ning nodded and casually picked up a jade bottle labeled "Crimson Sun Blood Refining Pill".

Pulling out the stopper and taking a gentle sniff, a strong yet mellow medicinal power wafts out, faintly carrying a hint of blood.

It is clearly made primarily from the essence and blood of some powerful demon beast, and has remarkable effects on tempering blood and strengthening the body.

He then picked up another small white porcelain jar, with a cinnabar label on it for the Soul-Condensing Frost Cream.

Upon opening the jar, one finds a translucent, creamy paste inside, cool to the touch, instantly refreshing the mind and spirit—clearly a superior tonic for nourishing the soul.

"The Immortal Crossing Sect's accumulation over hundreds of years is indeed substantial." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Although most of these pills were not as high-grade as the treasures in the secret vault, they were of a wide variety and in considerable quantity. Many of them were also beneficial for him to consolidate his cultivation realm and replenish the losses from his daily cultivation.

He pondered for a moment.

With a wave of his hand, he opened all the medicine bottles on the counter.

Then, he opened his mouth, and pills flew into it.

His mouth was wide open like a bottomless pit, and pills entered it one by one without causing the slightest ripple.

It lasted for dozens of breaths.

He then closed his mouth.

Then he went back to the futon he had just been on, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes again.

Although not all of the pills in the alchemy room are useful to him now, the ingredients for these pills are all rare and precious herbs.

Natural treasures are an important source of energy points.

Given the current situation, he knows that improving his own strength is the most important thing.

The improvement of strength is inseparable from the amount of source energy points.

Although these pills couldn't directly improve his strength, he didn't want to let go of the increase in source energy points.

next moment.

His body was like a furnace, with rolling heat waves surging from within him.

He was practicing the Furnace Elixir Refining Technique, a secret technique from Medicine King Valley.

This technique uses qi and blood as fuel, transforming the body into a furnace, and has the effect of purifying elixirs and removing the toxins from them.

He was currently consuming large quantities of pills, indiscriminately, and needed such secret techniques to assist him.

a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

call--

He opened his mouth and exhaled a plume of black smoke. Suddenly, the window in front of him opened a crack, and black smoke poured out from the crack.

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

That plume of black smoke just now originated from the poison in the elixir.

"It's feasible!" he nodded to himself.

He could sense that most of the toxins in those pills had been extracted by him, with only a very small amount remaining in his body.

The remaining amount is less than one-hundredth of the original.

He didn't care about this burden.

He then continued to swallow the remaining pills and continued to use the Furnace Pill Refining Technique to refine them.

I persisted, over and over again, in a repetitive cycle.

An hour and a half later.

Only some empty bottles and jars remained on the alchemy cabinet; all the pills inside had been refined by him.

"Although the quality is not good, the sheer quantity has resulted in a decent effect!"

Feeling the increase in his own energy and spirit, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

He then took a short breath to calm his body back down.

Then take out the Cleansing Pill, Blood Soul Pill, Mind-Concentrating Glue, and other earth vein spiritual milk and other items.

He first put a Cleansing Pill into his mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered his stomach, and its gentle medicinal power flowed through his body like a clear spring, slowly cleansing the subtle impurities and hidden injuries hidden in his flesh and meridians.

He felt his pores open slightly, and wisps of grayish-white turbid air were expelled with his breath, making his body more radiant and clear, and his blood and qi circulation more smooth and unobstructed.

"Good stuff, no wonder it's kept in the secret vault!" Feeling the feedback from his body, his eyes brightened slightly.

Although this pill is not as miraculous as the Dragon Blood Green Immortal Vine, it has the wonderful effect of consolidating the foundation and purifying the body, which is of great benefit to his current slightly weak state.

I have just refined a large number of pills, which are exactly what the Cleansing Dust Pill is supposed to do.

He then consumed and refined the remaining Cleansing Pills one by one.

After completely eliminating it, my body felt even lighter, and my skin became increasingly clear and translucent.

He then took out the Blood Soul Pill.

This pill has the effect of increasing qi and blood.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a surge of powerful and intense blood energy erupted, like a volcanic eruption, rushing straight to his limbs and bones.

He focused his mind and circulated his qi and blood to guide this power into his body, transforming it into resources for the growth of his qi and blood.

At the heart, the flower of essence blooms in full glory.

The total amount of Qi and blood in the body increases, and a faint thunderous sound echoes around the body.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning took the calming gel.

The gel was translucent amber in appearance and had a cool feel to the touch. He picked up a piece the size of a soybean with his fingertip and applied it to his brow. The gel seeped into his mind as soon as it touched his skin, transforming into a refreshing and nourishing power for his soul, soothing the subtle fatigue and restlessness deep within his soul.

Within the spiritual realm, the divine flower shimmered with silver light, its petals unfurling.

All the resources he had previously obtained from the secret vault vanished from his hands like water flowing into his body.

Time is constantly passing by.

Ji Mingyue had already fallen into a deep sleep along with the crane.

The fire in the alchemy furnace gradually dimmed, but it still burned, dispelling the chill of the night and keeping the alchemy room warm!
