Chapter 599 The Significance of Inheritance

The next day, in the gourd world.

Ji An put down his talisman brush, picked up the freshly made top-grade calming talisman, blew on it as usual, and then flicked it with his finger, revealing a pleasant smile.

"I can complete the mission in less than three hours. This place is truly my lucky place."

Today, the success rate of refining the Vajra Pill reached 95%, setting a new historical record. This is the pill he has refined the most times, and he is very skilled at it.

He will only hand over 80%, and plans to maintain this figure in the future.

His success rate in drawing talismans has remained stable at just over 80%. He plans to submit 60% to 70% each time, and keep the rest in reserve.

When the true demonic calamity fully erupts, the prices of these supplies will rise significantly, so it won't hurt to stock up on some.

After storing the materials to be submitted tomorrow in his storage bag, Ji An picked up the third-grade mid-level Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea that the puppet had just brewed, took a sip with relish, and shook his head, saying:
"Hmm, not bad! If it weren't for the True Demon Tribulation, life would be as blissful as that of a god."

He then said in a low voice, "In my previous life, I would have been considered a god, able to survive for over a thousand years!"

At this moment, his gaze pierced through the void, as if he were seeing the past.

After a long silence, he sighed softly, then clenched his fist with excitement, "Let's set a small goal: break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Ji An began to perform hand seals to release the Bing Fire Divine Thunder. This was a smaller goal: to first train the Bing Fire Divine Thunder to the Great Perfection level.

His goal is to have no weaknesses and to find a counter spell to fight any enemy.

Finally, all methods were fused into one, becoming a legend in the world of cultivation, leaving a mark like a wild goose in flight.

A crimson light shone brightly, accompanied by thunderous roars.

After concluding the battle debriefing meeting, Master Yunyan returned to her room, took out the Vajra Pill, and put it in her mouth. To test the pill's effects, she hadn't used any means to isolate herself from the demonic mist that day.

For her, without protective measures, she could stay in the magic fog for about ten days before anything happened.

As soon as the pill entered my mouth, I felt a warm current rise from my abdomen and spread to my limbs and bones.

What surprised her even more was that the pills had layers and showed several changes.

She had cultivated for hundreds of years and consumed countless pills, but she had never felt anything like this before.

Master Yunyan calmed his mind and quietly felt the medicinal power surging within his body. The pollution caused by the demonic mist was quickly removed, and the medicinal effect had not yet been exhausted.

"The pills are much faster to take effect and more effective than those I took before. I never imagined that Master Xuanqing would have such abilities."

She couldn't help but wonder how the other party had managed to do it. Was it only by refining this kind of pill that such an effect could be achieved?

If all the pills he refines have this effect, what would be the reason behind it?
If I ask the other party to refine a pill that helps me break through to a higher realm, will there be any additional effects?

Flying Cloud Immortal returned to the main branch of her family's residence in the Phoenix Dance Mountains. She met with the patriarch, recounted her past in Cloud Sea Immortal City, and concluded by saying:
“Clan leader, I have discovered an alchemist in the Immortal City who possesses the Azure Lotus Heart-Burning Flame. I think it is necessary to spend a great deal to bring him into the clan.”

"I think you've already done that, haven't you?"

The Phoenix Dance Mountain Range is the ancestral home of the Ge family, a renowned alchemy family in the Central Continent, which has branched out into several sub-families.

One branch has maintained close ties with the Shenmu Sect in recent years, and its development in recent years has even shown a trend of surpassing the main branch.

However, the Ge clan patriarch, True Man Tianfeng, was pleased with this outcome. With the True Demon Tribulation about to erupt, the stronger each branch of the family became, the better.

"I subtly probed their intentions, but they didn't seem to have any interest in that area."

Since I couldn't make any specific promises, I didn't pursue the matter further.

I think we need to take action as soon as possible. He has been recruited by the Merchant Alliance to carry out a mission in the Misty Mountain area, and the fact that he possesses the Heavenly Flame will soon be discovered by others.

If he's tempted by offers from other forces, then nothing will happen.

Master Tianfeng picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said:
"Have you investigated this cultivator's background?"

"Of course, the other party's Daoist name is Xuanqing. He is a cultivator from the Western Continent and came to the Central Continent on a merchant flying ship of the Cloud Sea Merchant Alliance. I have confirmed this with the people of the Merchant Alliance."

He came from a small sect at the Golden Core level, the kind of sect that had no Nascent Soul inheritance at all.

I think if we use the Nascent Soul cultivation method as an incentive, there's a high chance the other party will agree.

Even if they don't agree now, they'll eventually give in.

Master Feiyun spoke eloquently, clearly understanding how alluring cultivation techniques were to those who needed them.

Master Tianfeng put down his teacup, stroked his sparse goatee, and said with a smile:

"Are you so sure he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Cultivating at the Golden Core stage requires overcoming several hurdles. No matter how talented a disciple from a humble background is, without sufficient vision and knowledge, how far can he go?"

He paused, his expression turning serious:
"If the other party is a rogue cultivator, I would feel more at ease. Who knows what a cultivator with a sect's inheritance has experienced in the past?"

If you can't tame them, they'll become a major threat.

Cultivation families are very strict about accepting outside cultivators, and True Person Tianfeng prefers to adopt some talented rogue cultivators and train them from a young age.

Through continuous strengthening of consensus, these children, nurtured from a young age, will highly identify with the Ge clan. However, the worldview of a Golden Core cultivator who has cultivated for many years is difficult to change; the Azure Lotus Heart-Burning Flame, though desirable, cannot make him make a firm decision.

Master Feiyun remained silent for a moment, then said:

“I understand the clan leader’s concerns, but if True Person Xuanqing can be used by us, we can make a lot of money just by refining pills that help people break through major realms, such as the Golden Core Pill and the Nascent Soul Pill.”

Even if we can't bring him into the family, cooperating with him is still a good thing.

Master Tianfeng nodded slightly, "Cooperation is negotiable, but there's no need to try to recruit us into your family."

If a cultivator from a sect were to betray their sect, I would have no faith in their character.

Some things can only be done zero times or countless times. A cultivator who can break faith once can break faith twice or three times.
If faced with greater temptations, they might abandon the Ge family and turn to someone else.

He paused and then said:

"The Heavenly Spirit Fire is indeed very powerful, but our family's heritage can help us make up for many of the gaps."

For example, when it comes to forming the Golden Elixir, the Azure Lotus Heart-Burning Flame can enhance the elixir's effects. Our family has a special formula that can achieve the same result, but at a higher cost.

The Golden Elixir you took back then was this type of elixir. Although it was still somewhat inferior to those refined with the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, the difference was not significant.

Yun'er, let me tell you something. Whether it's the spiritual fire of heaven and earth or any other rare and precious resources, cultivators are constantly striving to find substitutes.

What is the purpose? It is to turn a probabilistic event into a certainty; that is the meaning of inheritance.

This is especially true of powers with a long history; only in this way can they prosper forever and rise again from decline.

Historically, the Shenmu Sect experienced the depletion of its mountain gate's spiritual veins, which was a fourth-grade high-level item!
But how did the Divine Wood Sect manage to cultivate a third-grade low-level spiritual vein to a fourth-grade mid-level spiritual vein and continue the sect's heritage? It relied on a large number of secret techniques.

In the entire cultivation world, when it comes to planting and nurturing spiritual veins, all other forces pale in comparison to the Divine Wood Sect.

There was one thing he didn't say: the chances of a Golden Core level alchemist refining a Nascent Soul Pill were slim, even for alchemists at the Perfect Golden Core level.

The requirements for alchemy skills in the Nascent Soul Pill are too high; the gap cannot be bridged by using the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to refine it.

A cultivator who can refine Nascent Soul Pills can also refine mid-grade fourth-tier pills.

Master Feiyun sighed softly and said:

"Once the situation stabilizes, I want to return to Cloud Sea Immortal City and speak with True Person Xuanqing in person."

She had a hunch that Fellow Daoist Xuanqing would surely achieve great things in the future.

"Sure, but you've been stuck at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage for many years. You'll need to work harder to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core stage."

Looking at the gray sky, Wan Jinrong felt inexplicably irritable. He had been in Wulan Mountain for two years, and every day he saw this oppressive sky.

Wan Jinru walked to his side and asked with concern:

"Myna, something seems off about you. What happened?"

"I've been feeling a bit restless for the past month. I feel better when I'm in the attic refining weapons, but when I come out and look up at the sky, the oppressive feeling makes me feel like I can't breathe."

Wan Jinrong turned his head to look at his younger sister and said suspiciously:
Don't you feel that way?

“No,” Wan Jinru shook her head gently. “I know what’s going on with you. The purification array dispelled the demonic mist near the fortress, but the demonic mist can form a huge field that indirectly affects us and makes our emotions unstable.”

Why weren't you affected by this?

"Of course I was affected too, but I had to go deep into the magic mist every few days to carry out patrol missions, which allowed me to leave the field briefly, so I didn't accumulate much of this kind of negative emotion."

In addition, I often take Vajra Pills and use Purifying Talismans, which also purify my spiritual power.

Another point is that Fellow Daoist Yunyan said that killing helps release suppressed emotions. In the past two years, I've killed thousands of various demons and true demons.

Wan Jinru raised her chin slightly and smiled proudly, "I even killed four True Demons and Yin Demons at the Golden Core level."

Wan Jinrong was amused by his sister's expression, "Yes, yes, Master Miaohua is the most amazing!"

He remembered the little girl who used to follow him when he was young. The two shadows overlapped at that moment, and he suddenly realized that so many years had passed.

Wan Jinru's eyes shone, and she covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, regaining her usual composure.

"Myth brother, you can take the Vajra Pill, which can alleviate this condition. Activating the Purifying Spirit Talisman every month can also help."

But to fully alleviate the situation, we must wait until we leave Wulan Mountain.

She tilted her head from side to side, glancing around, and transmitted her voice:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing's Vajra Pills are very effective; you can buy some from him."

Most of the Vajra Pills currently in stock at Black Wind Ridge were refined by Ji An, and are highly favored by the cultivators who participate in the battle and patrol.
