Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

"Damn it, directly writing a complete foundation of the Great Dao requires too much from the Golden Core."

"Then, could you write a Dao Foundation Seed that, after being consumed by the user, automatically evolves into a complete Dao Foundation based on the user's state of mind and insights?"

One day, Hongyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration. If the hardware couldn't meet the requirements, then he would find a way to reduce the size of the software. After all, a living person can't be suffocated by urine.

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. Theoretically, this is certainly feasible."

Having come up with the idea, Hongyun began experimenting, and this time it worked on the first try, which surprised even Hongyun.

Hongyun took out the refined golden pill to observe it, and even took it himself to sense the medicinal effects of the golden pill.

As the old saying goes, "Swallow a golden pill and your fate is in your own hands, not in the heavens," which sounds very inspiring.

Although Hongyun's Golden Core did not reach that level, it was still considered a step towards the Nine-Turn Golden Core stage.

After personally practicing, he found that his method of replacing the innate Dao foundation with the Dao foundation seed was feasible, but this discovery had a limitation, namely the time required to attain the Dao.

According to the normal design of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, when a mortal swallows the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he instantly achieves the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. "Instantly" means that the time is very short.

Hongyun's Nine-Turn Golden Elixir requires a long time because the Dao Foundation Seed evolves autonomously by combining the user's own state of mind, experience, and insights. If your understanding and state of mind are insufficient, it will greatly prolong the time required.

According to Hongyun's calculations, it might take hundreds of millions of years for a mortal to break through from a mortal to a Great Luo Golden Immortal after using his Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

However, this approach is not without its advantages, because the foundation of the Great Dao is evolved from the seed of the Dao based on the user's state of mind and understanding, so it is very suitable for the user.

Therefore, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of the Dao Foundation Seed version has little impact on the user's continued progress. In the future, it is hoped that the user can cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection, or even achieve Quasi-Saint status by severing the corpse with the help of innate spiritual treasures.

However, with the timeframe extended to hundreds of millions of years, whether the user can live to see that day is a question, not because of lifespan, but because of the struggle; they might die in a fight with someone at any time.

Afterwards, Hongyun refined it thousands of times and finally compiled a method for refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Hongyun named it the Dao Seed Alchemy Method, meaning the seed of the Dao takes root, sprouts, blossoms, and bears fruit.

"Haha, with this method of alchemy, I can say that I have entered the inner sanctum of alchemy."

In the vast and powerful world of the Primordial Era, only those who can refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can be considered alchemy masters.

Previously, Hongyun had been unable to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. Now, after summarizing the Dao Seed Refining Method, he has swept away the chaos in the world and finally entered the path of alchemy.

Looking at the vast amount of blood essence remaining, Hongyun decided to refine it all into pills at once.

Under the precise control of the primordial spirit, portions of the essential medicinal liquid were kneaded into pills and refined into the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

"Buzzing—!!"

Accompanied by a series of buzzing sounds, wisps of misty vapor wafted out from the alchemy furnace.

The rich fragrance of the elixir is so strong that it can cause mortals to experience a surge of energy and even instantly become immortals.

A look of joy appeared on Hongyun's face.

Although this wasn't the first time he had successfully refined the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, Hongyun still felt a sense of accomplishment every time he succeeded, let alone when he refined a large quantity at once.

Previously, only one pill could be made from one batch of medicine.

This time, Hongyun estimated that this batch of pills would yield at least 6636 Nine-Turn Golden Pills.

"Bang—!!"

At one moment, Hongyun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped the alchemy furnace, causing the lid to be lifted by a rich aroma of elixirs.

Countless Blood Essence Pills surged out of the alchemy furnace. The first batch consisted of forty-five pills, which were Nine-Turn Golden Pills. The second and third batches were Eight-Turn Golden Pills.

Looking at the Nine-Turn Golden Pill he had refined, Hongyun's face lit up with joy, but then he became somewhat dissatisfied.

The success rate of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is only 1%.

"It's a pity that the quality of the alchemy furnace affected the success rate of pills, and this is not an easy problem to solve."

Hongyun also knew where the problem lay.

His alchemy furnace was only a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and this success rate was already the limit of the furnace.

If Hongyun wants to break this limit, he needs to find or create a better alchemy furnace.

Thinking of this, Hongyun sighed. This was not something that could be easily solved.

"receive!!"

Afterwards, Hongyun casually took out a mid-grade gourd-shaped spiritual treasure and inhaled the Blood Essence Pill in mid-air.

This is a gourd made by Hongyun for refining pills. Placing pills inside will prevent them from losing their medicinal properties.

Of course, the loss of medicinal properties applies to ordinary pills below the seventh level of the Golden Elixir.

Golden cores of grade seven or higher will not lose their medicinal properties, because golden cores of grade seven or higher are already perfect and have achieved self-balance, with all spiritual energy and medicinal properties contained within them.

The Golden Immortal is one who lives as long as the heavens, and the Seven-Turn Golden Elixir, which corresponds to the Golden Immortal, is the same and can be preserved indefinitely.

"Whoosh—!!"

A terrifying suction force emanated from the gourd's mouth.

A whirlwind swept through, and in less than three breaths, all the Blood Essence Pills were absorbed into the gourd for preservation.

Hongyun's primordial spirit scanned the gourd and found forty-five Nine-Turn Golden Pills and three thousand Eight-Turn Golden Pills.

"I've been using these golden pills for a very long time."

Hongyun patted the gourd and grinned as she put it away.

Next, Hongyun began to organize his gains. The Dao Seed Alchemy Method gave him a deep understanding of the Dao of Literature, and he even put forward a conjecture, which was the Dao Seed Proving Dao Method.

If Hongyun doesn't intend to switch to cultivating immortality or follow the path of severing the three corpses, then he must plan his path to enlightenment in advance, lest he panic at the last minute.

Although he had an idea, perfecting it was too difficult for Hongyun at the moment.

One reason is that his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. The second reason is that his understanding of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm is insufficient, and his concept of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm is only in his imagination.

With this in mind, Hongyun temporarily abandoned the deduction of the Dao Seed Proving Method and began to meditate and cultivate.

Hongyun patted his forehead, and the five elements converged at the origin, the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, and the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit bloomed in nine grades.

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit bloom, adorned with countless strands of jewels and golden blossoms, within which endless Taoist charm is nurtured.

Next, Hongyun opened the gourd, took out a Nine-Turn Blood Essence Pill and swallowed it. The golden pill melted instantly in his mouth, and the powerful blood energy, along with the medicinal power, tempered his body, making it stronger.

The flowers atop Red Cloud Peak are becoming increasingly beautiful.

Hongyun was already a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The Dao foundation seed of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was directly shattered by his literary foundation when he refined it, turning into nutrients.

If one Nine-Turn Golden Pill enhances one's foundation in Dao, then 45 Golden Pills would provide a much greater boost.

Next, Hongyun began a deep seclusion for cultivation. When he woke up again, his physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power had reached the limit of the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At this moment, Hongyun could break through at any time, but perhaps due to unknown circumstances, he did not feel the urge to break through and had no choice but to end this training session.

However, the consumption was also considerable; the Nine-Turn Golden Pill that Hongyun refined was completely used up during this cultivation boost.

The poor alchemy gourd only held the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir for a few years before Hongyun refined it all.
