Chapter 33 The Clarity of Mind and Enlightenment Method, Mid-Mortal Realm!

A few days later, on the edge of the Tagor Desert.

A majestic city stands at the edge of the yellow sand, its towering walls gleaming metallically under the blazing sun. In the city's central plaza, a dozen large, thick-winged birds perch quietly.

These docile giant birds, with their full plumage, are not magical beasts but are easy to tame, making them a unique flying transport tool of the Gama Empire.

"Three hundred gold coins per person, one thousand for a whole cargo space," the transport company manager said, rubbing his hands together. "Our Thick-Winged Birds can travel a thousand miles a day, guaranteeing a smooth and safe journey."

Lu Yu readily paid the fee and led Little Fairy Doctor and the others onto the specially designed cabin on the bird's back. With a whistle from the beast tamer, the giant bird spread its wings, which were ten zhang wide, and stirred up a whirlwind in the square.

"Where are you honored guests headed?" the animal trainer asked respectfully.

"Black Rock City," Lu Yu said calmly, gazing into the distance.

He wanted to participate in the alchemist examination, so naturally he had to choose a large city with an alchemist guild, and Blackrock City met the requirements.

Firstly, the city's location overlapped with their return route; secondly, if he remembered correctly, Blackrock City harbored an old fellow named Gut, who possessed a rare Ice Spirit Cold Spring...

"I'll take this opportunity to get my hands on it..." Lu Yu thought to himself.

Soon after, at the tamer's command, the Thick-winged Bird spread its enormous wings and carried everyone into the air.

Inside the cabin at this moment.

Lu Yu took out a black jade slip, which contained the "Danxin Tongming Method" that he had previously simulated in the Endless Fire Domain.

Previously, I was too busy practicing my movement techniques to study them carefully, but now I can finally take a closer look.

He gently pressed the jade slip to his brow, slowly infusing it with his soul power. A moment later, Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with brilliance: "This is actually a high-level Earth-rank soul technique?"

"I thought it was just a Xuan-level one before, but now it seems I underestimated the power of the Endless Fire Domain."

Lu Yu could not hide his excitement and murmured to himself. According to the jade slip, this "Danxin Tongming Method" was not only ranked as a top-grade divine technique, but it was also a prerequisite technique for the supreme-grade soul manual "Sanhun Tongxuan Secret Manual".

If one can cultivate the "Danxin Tongming Method" to its highest level, one can naturally transition to cultivating the complete "Sanhun Tongxuan Secret Manual". After all, the entry requirements for Heaven-rank soul cultivation techniques are extremely demanding. Without a foundational cultivation technique, even if an ordinary person obtains the manual, it is difficult to comprehend its profound mysteries.

Lu Yu lightly stroked the jade slip with his fingertips, secretly pondering: "No wonder this 'Danxin Tongming Method' is listed as a high-level Earth-rank technique; it turns out it's paving the way for a Heaven-rank technique..."

Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged and gently placed the jade slip between his eyebrows. As his soul power slowly seeped in, a vast torrent of information instantly flooded his mind.

"This is……"

Lu Yu felt the scene before him suddenly change, and a vast starscape appeared in his mind. Tens of thousands of stars moved along mysterious trajectories, each star radiating a unique soul fluctuation.

What's even more amazing is that there seems to be some kind of resonance between these stars. When his soul power touches one of them, the entire star map will produce a subtle resonance.

"I see..." Lu Yu suddenly realized, "These star trails are the method for operating the soul perception power!"

He immediately followed the star chart's guidance, carefully channeling his soul power. At first, it was just a trickle, but gradually, his soul power began to surge like a river. As his cultivation deepened, his perception abilities improved at an astonishing rate—

Outside the cabin, the airflow changes with each flap of the thick-winged bird's wings;

Several feet away, Little Fairy Doctor's even breathing rhythm could be heard;
Even further away, the hushed conversations of other passengers...

Suddenly, Lu Yu's body trembled violently, and the long-dormant soul power within him surged forth like boiling magma—a sign that his soul realm was about to break through!

As a transmigrator, he already possessed a soul strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, remaining at the peak of the early mortal realm. Now, having just begun to grasp the basics of the *Danxin Tongming Fa*, his soul perception surged instantly, breaking through the bottleneck that had plagued him for so long!

"boom--"

An invisible wave of soul energy exploded outwards from Lu Yu, causing the air inside the cabin to freeze.

He felt as if some barrier in his mind had been completely shattered, and his previously vague perceptions were now crystal clear, his soul power increasing several times over!
"This is the soul power of the mid-stage mortal realm..." Lu Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He was surprised to find that not only had the total amount of his soul power doubled, but the precision of his control had also improved by several levels.

"Improvement is comprehensive..."

"Now, I'm probably a pill below the fifth rank, and the difficulty of refining it has been greatly reduced..."

With a thought, he immediately took out several medicinal herbs from his storage ring: a hundred-year-old Wind Spirit Grass, a third-tier wind-attribute magic core, and a Jade Spirit Mushroom. He then took out a red bronze medicine cauldron.

"Let's try the Grade 3 Windwalking Pill first..."

Then, taking a deep breath and calming his mind, the Earth Core Flame in his palm suddenly leaped up, and he skillfully threw the Wind Spirit Grass into the medicine cauldron, controlling the heat just right.

The Wind Spirit Grass in the medicine cauldron gradually dissolved, and at the same time, the energy of the Wood Attribute Magic Core was slowly guided out, merging with it in a surprisingly harmonious way...

Time slowly passed as the alchemy process unfolded...

After a few days,

Lu Yu suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and his hand seal abruptly changed.

"Congeal!"

With a soft shout, the lid of the cauldron opened. A pure green pill rose into the air, tracing a graceful arc before landing precisely in a prepared jade bottle.

"finally……"

Looking at the lustrous pills in the jade bottle, Lu Yu let out a long sigh of relief, the weariness between his brows unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.

In the past few days, he had opened his furnace three times in a row, and each time he successfully refined a high-quality grade three pill. At this moment, he could finally be certain that he had officially entered the ranks of grade three alchemists.

Just then, a rapid knocking on the door interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts.

"Young Master!" Qing Lin's clear voice called from outside the door, "We've arrived at our stop. Sister Little Fairy Doctor asked me to come and call you."

Lu Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, only then remembering that today was the day he was to arrive in Blackrock City.

He carefully stored the last batch of Windwalking Pills into his storage ring, then flicked his sleeve and put away the medicine cauldron.

When the door was opened, Qinglin was waiting on tiptoe outside.

"Thank you for waiting, Qinglin. Let's go."

Lu Yu gently rubbed the top of her head, then looked up into the distance, where the majestic outline of Black Rock City was clearly visible.

"Prepare to land!" the old man piloting the flying magical beast called out.

With a slight tremor, the enormous, thick-winged bird folded its wings and landed steadily in the designated parking area in the central square of Blackrock City.

Qinglin excitedly leaned on the railing and said, "Young master, look! There are people selling candied hawthorns over there!"

"I'll buy it for you in a bit, let's go downstairs first."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded.
