Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Wang Quan told everyone about the 60,000 volumes of Daoist scriptures and the influence of the "Six Grades of Daoist Seals" on the Golden Elixir.

Although everyone listened, including Ying Jiaren, everyone wanted to reach the Golden Core stage first.

"Once you reach the Golden Core stage, you will hone your skills there and strive to reach the sixth rank."

"It won't be too late to cultivate the great supernatural powers you mentioned then."

Anyway, as long as the great supernatural power that Wang Quan mentioned can be handled at the Golden Core stage, that's fine.

They first reach the Golden Core stage, and by relying on their increased strength and realm, they may be able to gather more resources to enhance their wisdom.

At that time, it will be much easier to break through to the sixth rank of Dao Seal.

Seeing this, Wang Quan stopped trying to persuade him.

He began to adjust his state, preparing to step into the Golden Core stage.

The same applies to Ruo Jinghong and others.

Over the years, everyone has accumulated Golden Elixir resources, preparing to create the most top-tier Golden Elixir.

Mei Niang chose the top-tier Golden Elixir – [Body Without the Wings of a Colorful Phoenix].

Once this golden elixir is refined, it can sprout a pair of wings; when the wings flap, they can scatter colorful clouds.

Smoke and clouds can soften metal and harden weeds, turn falsehood into truth, and distort right and wrong.

They are most skilled at using methods such as bewitching, seduction, nightmares, and illusions.

It also conceals a special supernatural power.

This special supernatural ability is closely related to the foundation of the alchemist.

Those who possess Daoist seals, those with strong foundations, and those with special spells will have powerful supernatural abilities that are ultimately nurtured within their Golden Core.

Without Dao seals, no matter how strong one's foundation or how great one's abilities, one cannot nurture supernatural powers in the Golden Core.

Moreover, the supernatural powers nurtured by each Daoist Golden Elixir are different.

If Jinghong had chosen the top-grade Golden Elixir—[A myriad of rouge dots glowed in the setting sun, a faint blush spreading across the wine's surface as they sat.]

This golden elixir is the most top-grade golden elixir in the [Rouge Sect].

Once mastered, it can amplify the power of all fundamental techniques within the [Rouge Sect] by three times.

It is effective not only for those in the Golden Core stage, but also for those in the subsequent Nascent Soul stage, Blessed Land stage, and even the [One-Way Street] stage.

Similarly, this top-grade golden elixir also contains a special divine power.

Instead of choosing the top-tier Golden Elixir from the Drowning Path, Ying Jiaren ultimately selected a top-tier Golden Elixir based on the two Imperial Scriptures she possessed: 【May the Incense Burn Forever and the Elixir Endure Forever】.

This golden elixir comes from the [Heavenly Fragrance Path].

Once mastered, it can amplify the power of incense offerings, similar to the effect of Ruo Jinghong's Golden Elixir.

Moreover, Ying Jiaren comprehended a special golden elixir technique from the two volumes of the Imperial Scripture.

With the help of this incense-infused golden elixir, she can further refine—a top-tier golden elixir for the Drowning Path—[The Southern Sea, though its waters are not yet stirred, stretches three thousand miles; a heart in a dried-up rut finds no peace].

Once this golden elixir is refined, it can be compatible with incense-infused golden elixir.

At that time, the incense and elixir will transform into a sea, and the elixir that drowns in the sea will become as bright as the sun.

The sun rises from the deep sea, suppressing the world.

This was deduced by her based on the "Imperial Canon".

As for whether she will ultimately succeed, she doesn't really care.

If it fails, you can simply cut up the golden core, sell it to recoup your losses, and then refine it again.

It's nothing more than a little delay and a bit more wear and tear.

If she succeeded, she believed she would be invincible in the Golden Core stage and stand out from the crowd.

Moreover, if she succeeds, she will gain two additional special supernatural abilities.

Wang Quan lacked Ying Jiaren's ambition and unconventional thinking.

He proceeded methodically, selecting the supreme elixir from the Imperial Scripture: "The people of today do not see the moon of ancient times, but only the bright moon of yesteryear shining upon us."

This Golden Elixir has a similar effect to Ruo Jinghong's [Rouge Golden Elixir], comprehensively enhancing the power of spells, fundamental techniques, and supernatural abilities.

In addition, according to the Imperial Scripture, if one could burn 180 billion golden pills to nurture them, these golden pills could also nurture a special divine power—[The Milky Way in the heavens revolves, and curtains hang on earth.]

This supernatural ability has nothing to do with his foundation, but only with the Golden Core.

This supernatural power was not deduced by the emperor back then, but rather a mystery he unexpectedly discovered within the Golden Core after he cultivated the Bright Moon Golden Core and became an immortal, while sorting out his own realm.

This profound mystery can only be mastered at the Golden Core stage.

Once you surpass the Golden Core stage, there will be no more opportunities to master it.

The emperor who wrote the "Imperial Scripture" was always filled with regret when he mentioned this supernatural power.

According to that "Emperor," the special supernatural power nurtured by the Golden Elixir, though unrelated to the refiner's background, is absolutely top-tier. It is said that "modern people do not see the moon of ancient times, but only the bright moon of yesteryear shining upon people."

Wang Quan believed it.

Because the emperor who wrote the "Emperor's Scripture" greatly admired this supernatural power, and regretted throughout his life that he had never mastered it.

This demonstrates just how powerful the supernatural ability of "the Milky Way turns in the sky, and curtains fall on earth" truly is.

Wang Quan adjusted his mindset and state of mind, preparing to refine the elixir.

Before that, he had specifically looked at the Daoist script.

He is now a sixth-rank Daoist, and there are still three characteristics he hasn't selected.

Now he has more features to choose from, but he's still unsure which to select.

"It's not too late to choose the characteristic after you've reached the Golden Core stage and explored its mysteries."

Suppressing all his thoughts, Wang Quan began to adjust his state of mind.

one day.....

Three days.......

Five days...

On the mulberry tree, Wang Quan rose.

His eyes shone with golden light, his gaze piercing through the gap between the human world and the underworld, landing directly on City 95 of the underworld.

Outside the city:

Huge metal spheres were suspended in the air by clusters of black clouds.

Some of these metal spheres are completely smooth, resembling the most perfect circle; some are a thousand feet in size.

Some of the spheres are hollowed out, with layers inside each other, and are carved with mountains, lakes, rivers and seas, totaling three thousand feet in length.

There is a sphere carved with 108,000 demons and 360,000 evil spirits, which is 1,200 feet long.

There is a sphere carved with the sun, moon, stars, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the twenty-four solar terms, totaling 3,600 zhang.

These spheres are all prototypes of top-tier Golden Cores created by top-level Daoist cultivators.

Countless ghosts, spirits, monsters, martial artists, and orthodox cultivators were busy working on the Golden Core.

They would expel rich yang energy, essence blood, or magical power, repeatedly tempering every part, every line, and every groove.

Even more ghosts and monsters held sandalwood incense and kowtowed in worship under the golden elixir.

The billowing incense smoke wafted through the air, causing the nascent golden cores to buzz and rotate, some quickly and some slowly.

Among the many nascent forms of the Golden Core, there are the Yang spirits of figures such as Jinghong, Meiniang, and even the Daoist nun in charge of ceremonies.

These spirits mechanically chanted scriptures, talking incessantly on Bilibili.

Numerous scriptures condensed into Daoist texts, which landed on the swirling embryonic form of the Golden Elixir.

Wang Quan watched for a while, then stopped paying attention and turned his gaze to something further away.

Because, although he wanted to create a golden elixir, due to the [Emperor's Scripture], his golden elixir was not created in this way.

His gaze wandered outside City 95, searching for a suitable mountain peak.

After a thorough search, they found nothing.

He then continued searching outwards.

one day.......

His gaze fell beyond the other cities, surveying the mountains and rivers.

Three days...

His gaze pierced through the 95 rings of the city, continuing to search for mountains and rivers in the distance.

Ten days...

His gaze lingered on a city outside the 88th Ring Road.

There is a mountain here:

This mountain is 9,999 feet high, naturally formed and without any trace of human construction, yet it has grown into the shape of a three-legged cauldron.

The geological formations in the mountains resemble those described in the Imperial Classic.

"This place shall be my alchemical furnace."
