I forge immortality with a pagoda.

"puff--!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Nine Constant Transformation Source Refining Light had already swept over his body.

Gu Xuan's body instantly melted and shattered, turning into a pool of thick liquid mixed with bone and blood.

The liquid contained glimmers of light, the lingering essence of flesh and blood and abundant spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated.

The shimmering light enveloped the mass of pus and blood.

With a hissing sound, black smoke rose, and all impurities and filth were quickly refined.

In just a few breaths, the pus and blood shrank by more than half, becoming crystal clear and exuding a fragrance.

The fragrance was extremely complex, as rich as a thousand-year-old elixir, as refreshing as exotic flowers, and as sweet as a young girl's body scent.

Finally, all the essence condensed into a pure white elixir with an inner radiance, which floated quietly in the air.

At the same time, in the deepest, darkest part of the abyss, in the darkness that devours everything, a pair of eyes suddenly opened.

His eyes were cloudy and difficult to see, reflecting an endless sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses.

The moment it opened its eyes, the silent depths of the abyss suddenly trembled.

"roar--!"

Countless deformed and twisted monsters howled madly, their voices overlapping and converging into a terrifying sonic wave. They struggled, tore at each other, and devoured one another in the viscous darkness, causing a violent commotion.

An indescribably terrifying aura spread upwards along countless passageways and fissures.

At this moment, all the cultivators who were exploring and searching for treasures in the various levels of the abyss felt their hearts tighten and their hair stand on end.

"What did that feel like just now?"

"Quickly, leave this place immediately! We shouldn't stay any longer!"

Words of surprise and fear rang out everywhere, and countless cultivators quickened their pace, wanting to leave this suddenly changed abyss as soon as possible.

However, some desperate individuals had greed in their eyes, danger tinged with opportunity, believing it to be a sign that a rare treasure was about to be born.

Within the core ruins of the suspended dojo, a female cultivator dressed in an elegant lotus-embroidered dress and wearing a white jade crown suddenly stopped, frowned, and muttered to herself, "Could that thing have come back to life?"

After standing silently for a moment, she put away the Dao Seed in her hand and vanished into thin air.

The owner of those eyes uttered a few difficult and obscure syllables, producing a weathered sound, before disappearing in an instant. With his movement, all the demons in the deepest part of the abyss immediately fell silent, returning to deathly stillness.

Just as the Radiant White Elixir was gradually taking shape, Shen Yu's true Qi surged forth like a floodgate bursting open, pouring into the Mysterious Vault Pagoda above his head.

By the time the elixir was completed, Shen Yu's face was ashen, and his aura was extremely weak.

However, the extracting force did not stop. Shen Yu felt that his life essence, innate energy, and even his original vitality were being drawn away and slowly flowing towards the pagoda.

His skin quickly lost its luster, and his hair turned from black to gray. These were signs that his vital energy and blood were beginning to decline. If this was not stopped, it would not only damage his cultivation but also his lifespan.

Without hesitation, Shen Yu swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill that was pressed under his tongue.

The elixir dissolved, and a warm current spread throughout the body, barely replenishing some of the spiritual energy. However, this was like a drop in the ocean, and the rate of replenishment was far slower than the rate at which the pagoda was drawing it away.

"Refining a Foundation Establishment cultivator beyond one's level is indeed too much of a stretch."

Shen Yu felt a chill run down her spine. She looked down and saw that the skin on her palm was already loose, her knuckles were prominent, and it looked withered.

Can't wait any longer!

He took a deep breath and moved his heavy legs, finding the short distance of just a few meters extremely difficult.

Finally arriving before the luminous white elixir, Shen Yu grasped it in his palm, feeling a cool, warm sensation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yu opened his mouth and swallowed the rare and precious pill.

When ordinary cultivators take high-quality pills, they must first envelop them with their own true qi and slowly refine them. Then, they must combine this with breathing techniques to gradually absorb the medicinal power. Only in this way can they absorb the essence to the greatest extent and avoid the medicinal power being too strong and impacting their meridians, causing damage.

For someone like Shen Yu to swallow a high-grade precious pill whole when his own true qi was almost exhausted would seem like courting death to others.

The luminous white elixir slid down his throat and into his abdomen, dissolving on its own before Shen Yu could even guide it.

In an instant, a dense vortex of spiritual energy exploded within his body.

The domineering medicinal power surged through the internal organs, nourishing the body, but in an extremely brutal way, like scraping with a dull knife or pounding with a heavy hammer.

Shen Yu felt an unbearable cramping pain in her abdomen, as if countless hands were tearing at her inside.

The most dangerous thing is that he has very little true qi left in his body at this moment, so his ability to restrain this violent medicinal power is negligible.

Shen Yu's face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.

He endured inhuman pain, and with immense willpower, he focused his mind and guided the relatively mild medicinal effects with the remaining vital energy.

It's now!

Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Purple Fiend Forging Yuan Technique with all his might.

This technique is a superior body-strengthening Taoist art, which emphasizes using external evil to temper the muscles and bones, and using internal energy to temper the internal organs. It is a wonderful method for comprehensively improving the physical body of the practitioner.

Once the technique was activated, a very faint purple halo appeared on Shen Yu's body, and subtle malevolent energy seemed to be surging beneath his skin.

Before long, the pain throughout his body subsided slightly, and Shen Yu's tolerance to the violent drug's effects increased a little. More importantly, he gained more control over his body.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Yu immediately guided the second, slightly larger stream of medicinal energy to refine it.

Within the dantian, the speed at which the Primordial Profound Truth was recovering had significantly accelerated.

Gradually, a wonderful virtuous cycle begins to form. The more true qi is restored, the stronger the Purple Fiend Forging Yuan Technique becomes. The stronger the Purple Fiend Body Forging Power becomes, the stronger the ability to refine medicinal power becomes, and the more true qi can be transformed.

With a sense of reassurance, Shen Yu began to cultivate step by step, repairing his body while simultaneously working on his training.

Ten days later, Shen Yu's Qi had become perfectly balanced. Not only had his true Qi returned to its peak state, but his cultivation level had also far surpassed that of the past.

He had completely refined and absorbed the immense medicinal power of that pure white pill. At this moment, his energy was abundant, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing over his body. The true energy within his dantian surged like a tide, and the barriers that hindered his advancement in cultivation were now within reach.

Shen Yu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, with a fleeting hint of purple.

He flipped his palm over, and a white-pink spiritual fruit appeared in his hand; it was the Xuan Yu Fruit he had obtained earlier.

This fruit has a remarkable effect on cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who are breaking through minor realms, as it can enhance their spiritual energy and help them comprehend key points.

He gently put the Xuan Yu Fruit into his mouth. The fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, turning into jade liquid that flowed directly into his dantian, while a pure and spiritual energy surged up to his Niwan Palace.

Shen Yu's soul suddenly trembled, and his mind became clearer than ever before.

Many obscure points from past cultivation practices and various insights into the path of Qi cultivation emerged and were integrated, making the road ahead suddenly clear.
