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

In the primordial era, years were not recorded.

Time flies.

The Zixiao Three Lectures were held as scheduled.

In this sermon, Hongjun focused on the Way of Hunyuan.

The Zixiao guests gained a great deal and all broke through to new heights.

Ling Dan was no exception; she imprinted her Dao Fruit in the Great Dao River, and her strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

This day.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

The melodious Taoist chanting ceased, and Hongjun stroked his beard, speaking calmly: "The Heavenly Dao has its predetermined course; there will be seven sages in the primordial world. Those who obtain the Primordial Purple Qi will attain the status of a sage!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, sending out seven streams of primordial purple energy.

These purple energies seemed to choose their masters, falling into the hands of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

The last wisp of purple mist was obtained by Hongyun.

Having done all this, Hongjun once again flicked his whisk, sending the Treasure Distribution Rock out of Zixiao Palace: "Within the Treasure Distribution Rock lies endless spiritual treasures. What you can obtain is up to you to find."

This prompted everyone to look back on the past.

In an instant, many guests from Zixiao Palace rushed out of the palace gates.

That Treasure Rock hides countless treasures; first come, first served.

At this moment, even Laozi and his group didn't stand on ceremony and headed out of Zixiao Palace.

Ling Dan also entered the Treasure Dividing Rock, looking at the place as if it were a vast world.

It is formed from the fusion of countless worlds, containing countless treasures, as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Ling Dan has inside information and knows where the best treasures are kept.

Soon, Ling Dan arrived at a place where she saw many large cauldrons.

"The One Yuan Cauldron, the Two Elements Cauldron, the Three Talents Cauldron, the Five Elements Cauldron..." Ling Dan searched all the way, and many precious cauldrons and alchemy furnaces flew over.

Ling Dan frowned slightly: "What are these? Why are they all top-grade spiritual treasures?"

As he said this, a Bagua furnace flew out and landed in front of Ling Dan.

Goodness, from the One Yuan to the Eight Trigrams, and then the Nine Palaces and the Ten Directions, wouldn't that complete a whole set?

As Ling Dan pondered this, she also collected quite a few beads.

By walking and stopping frequently, I acquired dozens of treasures.

However, most of them were mid-grade or high-grade spiritual treasures; I didn't get many top-grade ones.

Before long, countless treasures transformed into streams of light and fell down the Purple Heaven Staircase to the primordial land.

Hongjun's Daoist voice also resounded: "Numerous treasures will be awarded to those who have made contributions in the two great wars. Those who have made contributions are numerous, including all living beings in the primordial world. These treasures will be scattered throughout the primordial world, and those with the right destiny will find out."

As he spoke, a vast array of treasures were scattered across the primordial world. This caused many cultivators to gaze upon them, feeling both heartache and awe.

Many guests from Zixiao Palace, eager to find treasures, flew out of the palace grounds along the steps and headed to the primordial wilderness to search for treasures.

Ling Dan found Laozi, feeling aggrieved: "Master... I'm unlucky; I only found mid-grade and high-grade spiritual treasures. Especially a whole bunch of alchemy furnaces and cauldrons..."

Ling Dan was also frustrated. She relied on inside information to find treasures, but she didn't find a single good one. What a rip-off!

Laozi stroked his beard and smiled, looking at the treasures Ling Dan had acquired: "Disciple... there weren't many top-grade spiritual treasures placed in the Treasure Distribution Rock to begin with. The few that were there all ended up in my hands. In addition, these alchemy furnaces and cauldrons you obtained are also quite good. From the One Yuan to the Ten Directions, it means a lineage. If there is an opportunity in the future, you can fuse them together, and perhaps you can obtain a half-step supreme treasure."

"Melting it together? A half-step supreme treasure?" Ling Dan was also puzzled, looking at her master.

"Yes, spiritual treasures are divided into innate and acquired types. To improve the quality of an acquired spiritual treasure, it needs to incorporate many divine materials and Daoist principles. To improve the quality of an innate spiritual treasure, it must devour other innate spiritual treasures of the same type or containing the same Dao. The cauldron and alchemy furnace you acquired this time are basically of the same lineage, belonging to the same type of treasure, and containing the same Dao. In the future, you will slowly spend time fusing these alchemy furnaces and cauldrons together. Once they are completely fused, their quality will not only reach the level of a supreme treasure, but will at least be at the level of a half-step supreme treasure." Laozi stroked his beard and instructed Ling Dan.

Ling Dan nodded with a smile.

"It's so heavy, why is it so hard to carry?"

Ling Dan stared at the Treasure Dividing Rock, wanting to put it away.

After all, many ancient fantasy novels from my past life say that this Treasure Distribution Rock is definitely a treasure.

It could be some precious Chaos Divine Material, or it could be the legendary Qiankun Cauldron... In short, many speculations aroused Ling Dan's curiosity, and she wanted to know what this Treasure Dividing Rock was all about.

Laozi, observing Ling Dan's actions, stroked his beard and smiled, "Disciple...you intend to take away the Treasure Distribution Rock?"

"Master... I thought this Treasure Dividing Rock must be a really good treasure to be able to hold so many spiritual treasures. So I wanted to put it away, but it's so heavy that I can't carry it away," Ling Dan said, frustrated.

"Haha... Little Ling Dan, you actually thought of taking away the Treasure Sharing Rock. You're really something, even trying to take away your grandmaster's great treasure." Tong Tian flew over, looking at Ling Dan with a smile, and teased her.

Ling Dan looked at the Treasure Dividing Rock with a surprised expression: "Uncle-Master...you're not kidding me, are you? Wasn't Grandmaster's great artifact the Jade Disc of Creation? How did it become the Treasure Dividing Rock?"

"Silly child... No matter how miraculous the Jade Disc of Creation is, it is still the possession of the Great God Pangu, and it is difficult for it to become your grandmaster's artifact for proving his Dao. Moreover, the Jade Disc of Creation is incomplete. Therefore, your grandmaster will naturally refine a great artifact, an artifact for proving his Dao that can unleash his full power."

"This great artifact is in an advanced stage, which is why it has transformed into the form of a treasure-gathering rock, constantly accumulating its foundation while awaiting a breakthrough. Now, your grandmaster has taken this great artifact out to carry many treasures. He probably wants to use these treasures to accelerate the accumulation of the great artifact's foundation." Tongtian, who seemed to know a lot, informed Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was also completely bewildered and didn't know what to say. She could only say with a hint of confusion, "I understand now. No wonder the Treasure Distribution Rock couldn't take it away."

"Alright, let's return to Zixiao Palace first. After all, the sermon is not yet over." Laozi stroked his beard and said, then flew towards Zixiao Palace with Ling Dan in tow.

Upon entering the Zixiao Palace again, I found that only a few Zixiao guests remained.

The rest followed the crowd, leaving Zixiao Palace one by one to search for treasures in the prehistoric world. They all thought that the sermon at Zixiao Palace had ended, but little did they know that Hongjun had not said it was over, so the sermon was not over.

Currently, within the Zixiao Palace, besides their own master and uncle, there are only Nuwa, the Queen Mother, and Kunpeng.

Upon seeing the three of them, they exchanged glances, each seemingly understanding the other's intentions.

Lao Tzu stroked his beard and looked at them, especially at Kunpeng, a hint of admiration appearing on his face.

In truth, it's understandable that Nuwa was among the cultivators who remained this time. After all, Nuwa was a direct disciple of the Xuanmen sect, which gave her some advantages and restraint.

The reason why the Queen Mother was able to stay must be because of her special nature and that she was not influenced by greed.

Kunpeng's words were different; he actually stayed true to himself, unaffected by the treasure, and chose to stay.

Lao Tzu was somewhat impressed: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng... you have a fine mind; you were not attracted by the many treasures."

"Seeing the countless treasures within the Treasure Sharing Rock, no cultivator could resist their greed. In particular, the inheritance of the Three Corpses Severing Technique has increased the demand for innate spiritual treasures, further fueling the greed of many cultivators for these treasures."

No wonder, with so many treasures scattered throughout the primordial world, countless cultivators are driven by a kind of madness to venture into the primordial world in search of them. However, what I covet is not treasures, but the Great Dao itself. Therefore, after flying out of this hall from the Treasure Distribution Rock, I have remained true to my principles and have not taken a single step outside. I have made a choice between the Great Dao and treasures. Now, seeing you all, I think I made the right choice.” Kunpeng gazed at Laozi, and also looked at the cultivators present, a wise look appearing in his eyes.

Lao Tzu also praised this highly: "Fellow Daoist's devotion to the Dao is truly admirable!"

As they talked, Ling Dan gazed at the Kunpeng, a look of disbelief on her face.

Speaking of which, Ling Dan knows Kunpeng quite well. After all, in many prehistoric novels, Kunpeng is described as a treacherous villain.

But now, looking at Kunpeng, Ling Dan felt that this was not the case. The Kunpeng in front of her seemed to be a wise man with a heart that yearned for the Dao.

The emotional separation at Baoyan is a test.

Choose either the treasure or listen to the Great Dao!

It has to be said that the path of cultivation is full of pitfalls!

As Ling Dan was thinking this, Hongjun, who had been resting with his eyes closed for a long time, finally slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the few remaining cultivators within the vast Zixiao Palace, Hongjun sighed, "You are all quite good. You have managed to stay true to yourselves and have not been swayed by greed. This is indeed a good opportunity. Next, I will explain the core of the Great Dao you cultivate, as well as the cultivation of the Hunyuan Realm. How much you can comprehend depends on your comprehension."

"We thank our master," Laozi and the others said hastily.

Kunpeng, in particular, was extremely excited.

He made the right bet!

Hongjun stroked his beard and nodded, then went on to expound on the Great Dao: "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao... The Primordial Great Dao uses the Dao as a vessel and condenses the true body... In Primordial cultivation, the Great Dao is the core, yet it is not the core... In Primordial cultivation, the elevation of one's life level is absolutely crucial..."

At this moment, Hongjun's exposition of the Great Dao and the cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Realm is absolutely profound and genuine.

Ling Dan also learned about Kunpeng and the Great Dao cultivated by the Queen Mother from Hongjun's teachings.

The Great Dao cultivated by Kunpeng was actually the Devouring Great Dao, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. This Great Dao was also mysterious, capable of devouring all things, as well as devouring and digesting other Great Daos.

The Great Dao cultivated by the Queen Mother is the Eternal Great Dao, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. This Great Dao is also profound, involving eternity, and can make the Great Dao eternal, and thought eternal...

This explanation of the Great Dao also covers how to cultivate these Great Daos, as well as the methods of cultivation. If you cultivate step by step and have enough resources, you will definitely be able to achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos).

Having expounded on the Great Dao for a thousand years, Zhunti and Jieyin slowly approached.

Previously, countless treasures flew out from within the Treasure Distribution Rock, triggering the greed of both those who desired to develop and improve the West.

After all, with so many treasures, it would be enough to slightly improve the situation in the West.

Therefore, both Jieyin and Zhunti were blinded by greed and plunged into the prehistoric world in search of countless treasures.

But as they found many treasures, they suddenly realized something was wrong; it seemed the sermon wasn't over.

Upon hearing this news, Jieyin and Zhunti instantly realized something and rushed to Zixiao Palace. Looking at Laozi and the others, they were filled with despair.

Although they arrived, they lacked many steps, resulting in little understanding for either of them; at most, they acquired some of Hongjun's methods.
