Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.

Ling Dan remained immersed in contemplating the profound insights gained from the Dao of Dan.

During this time, Ling Dan would occasionally emerge from seclusion to consult Lao Tzu on many of his questions about cultivation.

Apart from Lao Tzu.

Yuanshi and Tongtian will also teach Ling Dan other cultivation knowledge.

After listening for thousands of years, Ling Dan's pill patterns have also increased by three: the Way of the Sword, the Way of Weapon Forging, and the Way of Array Formation!

The way of weapon crafting was taught by Yuanshi, while the way of swordsmanship was naturally taught by Tongtian.

As for the Dao of Formations, it originated from Tongtian's understanding of sword formations and can be considered a great Dao method.

Ling Dan did not spend too much effort on these three major paths.

After all, you can't bite off more than you can chew.

He devoted himself to the path of alchemy, and now the Niwan in his dantian has transformed into a golden core, and his strength has reached the realm of Golden Immortal.

"Unfortunately, although I have lived two lives, my spiritual power is not enough to support me in continuously visualizing the form of the Great Dao. I can't afford the consumption," Ling Dan said with slight regret.

……

In the primordial era, years were not recorded.

Ling Dan's days in Kunlun Mountain were both leisurely and fulfilling.

Besides listening to the Three Pure Ones preach, my daily practice consisted of observing the patterns on the cinnabar using visualization techniques, and comprehending the divine essence of the Great Dao.

Strength has been steadily improving.

Rumble!

But on this day, strange phenomena occurred.

An inexplicable pressure enveloped the heavens and earth.

At the same time, the purple aura stretched for billions of miles, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, and celestial music, like bells, resounded throughout the entire primordial world.

It was as if the entire world was celebrating at this moment.

Then, a majestic Daoist voice resounded throughout every corner of the primordial world.

"I am Hongjun, and I have now attained enlightenment. I will establish the Zixiao Palace, a sacred site outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and preach there three thousand years from now. Those with the affinity are welcome to come and listen!"

The Daoist voice of Hongjun, amplified by the power of the Heavenly Dao, reached the ears of every living being in the primordial world.

In an instant, all living beings in the primordial world were greatly excited.

There are many creatures in the primordial world, but few possess cultivation methods. Most cultivators cultivate in a daze, relying on their powerful and profound foundation.

Once you hit a bottleneck, being stuck with tens or hundreds of dollars is the least of your worries.

For them, it is an absolutely wonderful thing that a great person is preaching now!

Therefore, many powerful beings set off to find the location of Zixiao Palace.

……

East Kunlun.

Compared to the excited myriad spirits of the primordial world, the Three Pure Ones appeared much calmer.

"Congratulations, teacher, on achieving sainthood!"

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian respectfully bowed to the outside of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Lao Tzu then remarked with considerable emotion, "Teacher, you have still chosen this path."

"This is the teacher's choice, and we have no right to interfere. The most urgent thing is to go to Zixiao Palace." Yuanshi Tianzun also sighed.

Tongtian nodded in agreement.

Ling Dan, who was standing to the side, seemed a little confused.

Something's not right about this conversation.

Could it be that this prehistoric world is different from the one I know?

Laozi lightly flicked his whisk and looked at Ling Dan: "Disciple, let's go, come with your master to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao."

Swish!

As he spoke, Laozi rolled up Ling Dan, streaked away in a stream of light, and rushed straight into the outer reaches of the Chaos Heaven.

Yuanshi and Tongtian followed closely behind.

Wow!

In the chaos, endless gales raged.

With Ling Dan's cultivation level, if he were to enter this place, his only fate would be annihilation.

Fortunately, Laozi promptly summoned the Xuanhuang Pagoda to protect Ling Dan. The mysterious Xuanhuang Qi fell down, and no matter how the outside gale lashed at it, it could not get close to Ling Dan.

This was also the first time Ling Dan had seen this treasure, which was known as the number one defensive weapon in the primordial world.

I couldn't help but think, "It's so good to have a big, thick leg to cling to!"

Deep within the chaos for a full thousand years,

At this moment, the gale ahead grew stronger and stronger, making it difficult even for top-tier beings like the Three Pure Ones to move forward.

Some cultivators who forcibly delved deeper into cultivation were ultimately torn to shreds by the violent qi.

This scene made many innate masters hesitate to approach.

"Walk!"

With the Xuanhuang Pagoda protecting the Three Pure Ones, this bit of gale force was not enough to threaten them.

Following the faint guidance, they found their way to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Compared to the suffering and obstacles encountered by other powerful beings, the journey of the Three Pure Ones was as smooth as walking on flat ground.

That's the benefit of getting things done through connections.

Ling Dan sighed once again.

Since the Three Pure Ones have already become disciples of Hongjun, it's perfectly reasonable for the teacher to give his disciples preferential treatment in advance!

……

The Purple Cloud Palace occupies a vast area, lying across the desolate, broken, and chaotic void, resembling a continent.

"I never expected that Master would refine the entire Jade Capital Mountain into the Purple Cloud Palace." Yuanshi, who was skilled in weapon crafting, immediately recognized the origins of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Tongtian also looked on with envy: "Master is truly generous."

"Let's go, let's enter the palace first." Laozi flicked his whisk and led Ling Dan into the Zixiao Palace.

At this moment, the Zixiao Palace was completely empty, with no one in sight.

Clearly, the Sanqing group was among the first to arrive.

In the very center of the main hall, there was a lotus platform.

Around the lotus platform, six prayer cushions were placed.

When Ling Dan saw the prayer mats, she couldn't help but feel excited. These prayer mats represented the position of a saint!

Should he take one too?!

The Three Pure Ones also noticed the seven prayer cushions, and their expressions changed slightly.

At this moment, two exquisitely beautiful children appeared.

Xiao Haotian blinked and said, "My lords, Lord Hongjun asked me to convey that each of you may take a seat on a prayer mat."

Laozi focused his mind and asked, "Haotian, did Master really say that?"

"Yes, those are the master's exact words," Xiao Haotian said earnestly.

"Alas... Master..." Yuanshi glanced at the void behind the lotus platform and sighed deeply.

"In that case, please take a seat."

Lao Tzu remained silent for a moment, then found a futon and sat down.

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged a glance and then took their seats.

Ling Dan stared blankly at the fourth prayer mat: "Master, I..."

To be honest, he also wanted to choose a futon to sit on.

"You, just stand behind your master. You mustn't touch these prayer mats!" This time, Laozi was unusually decisive. He flicked his whisk and protected Ling Dan tightly.

Ling Dan could only stand there obediently.

……

Not long after.

One after another, powerful beings from the primordial era arrived.

This includes figures such as Di Jun and Tai Yi, Fu Xi and Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoists...you are all very fast." Nuwa said as she walked towards the Three Pure Ones, showing no signs of awkwardness.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Fuxi." Laozi greeted them, then, as if remembering something, pointed to the futon beside him and said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, after traveling for a thousand years, why not sit down and rest?"

Thank you.

Nuwa didn't think much of it and sat down casually.

On the contrary, Fuxi glanced around casually and ended up chatting with Dijun and Taiyi.

At this moment, Nuwa also saw Ling Dan, and a smile appeared in her eyes: "Little guy, you must be Fellow Daoist Taiqing's disciple, right? Such a rich aroma of pills! Come, let your big sister give you a hug!"

As she spoke, Nuwa stretched out her hand, looking overwhelmed with love.

"No, I don't want to."

Ling Dan quickly shook his head. He had a feeling that Nuwa was not the compassionate saint he had imagined.

The Nuwa before us is a bit mischievous, and even a little cunning!

"Little one, you can't escape." Nuwa grabbed Ling Dan with her jade hand, and Ling Dan was immediately pulled in front of her. She then held him in her arms, her gaze scrutinizing him as if she wanted to devour him.

Ling Dan immediately looked at Laozi with a pitiful expression: "Teacher..."

"Don't be afraid, my disciple. Fellow Daoist Nuwa was just teasing you..."

Lao Tzu smiled but did not make a move.

Ling Dan could only cautiously look at Nuwa: "Don't eat me, I'm poisonous, very poisonous..."

"Hehe, little one, you're so adorable." Nuwa pinched Ling Dan's porcelain-white face, her smile full of joy. "Don't worry, I won't eat you. However, you are a manifestation of elixir energy, and you possess great potential within you. Let me take a good look at you. I have a feeling that you hold a great opportunity within you!"

"Waaah... Can I refuse?"

Ling Dan cried.

"No, hehe!" Nuwa chuckled mischievously, continuing to explore Ling Dan's body carefully.
