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

Outsiders may not know what's going on, but as Ling Dan's master and uncle, how could he not know what's going on?

Now, Tongtian's expression was solemn, without anger, but rather slightly worried: "That child Ling Dan seems to know the cruelty of the prehistoric world. I wonder if he can accept it."

"We've protected Ling Dan too well, so he doesn't know what the primordial world is. But he'll accept it," Yuanshi Tianzun sighed.

"Sigh... Ling Dan, that child, will eventually grow up." Laozi sighed again, then smiled.

To be honest, Laozi and the others were also angry at first, feeling that Ling Dan's attitude was too reckless. But after communicating with the spirit, they learned that Ling Dan was talking to Bai Ze, and they fell silent.

After all, they didn't tell Ling Dan about the cruelty of the primordial world.

Now that Ling Dan has suddenly learned the truth, her feelings are bound to change.

……

After a long time, Ling Dan arrived at the Western Spirit Mountain.

That's right, this is the future Western Spirit Mountain.

This place is also where the dragon veins, which have been severely damaged after being purified, converge.

Jieyin and Zhunti stay here year-round to protect the last pure land in the West.

Ling Dan arrived here without any disguise, wearing his own Taoist robe, putting away the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and the Pangu Banner also fell into his body.

However, the treasures within Ling Dan's body are also poised to be unleashed. After all, many prehistoric novels depict Jieyin and Zhunti in a very shameless manner.

The phrase "We are destined to meet" has swindled countless treasures.

Ling Dan landed in the Spirit Mountain and found it to be very desolate, as if the spiritual energy was contained within and never released, making it difficult to nourish the Spirit Mountain.

Ling Dan approached the area but didn't find any formations. She could see Jieyin and Zhunti within the formations at a glance.

Ling Dan respectfully said, "Ling Dan, a third-generation direct descendant of the Xuanmen, has come to pay respects to Martial Uncle Jieyin and Martial Uncle Zhunti..."

Regardless, etiquette must still be observed.

A child dressed in a simple Taoist robe flew over slowly: "Senior Brother Ling Dan... welcome to Mount Ling, please come in quickly..."

"Call me senior brother? Are you a disciple of Uncle Jieyin or Uncle Zhunti?" Ling Dan asked, looking at the young Taoist.

"Senior Brother Ling Dan... I have become a disciple of Jieyin, whose Daoist name is Yaoshi. Zhunti is my senior uncle," Yaoshi said slowly.

Ling Dan nodded upon hearing this, looking at the young Taoist priest in front of her, never expecting him to be the future Medicine Master, the Glass Buddha.

Speaking of which, in Ling Dan's memory, Jieyin and Zhunti each had a disciple.

One is the Medicine Master, and the other is Maitreya.

After Buddhism was founded, neither Bhaisajyaguru nor Maitreya became its leader. Instead, it was Prabhutaratna who became its leader.

Well, Ling Dan wasn't entirely clear on the details of what happened.

Now, Ling Dan followed the pharmacist into the Spirit Mountain.

The bare rocks make it hard to believe that many dragon veins are hidden here.

Deep within the sacred mountain, we saw Cundi and Jieyin.

Now, both of them have sorrowful expressions and wear simple Taoist robes. They are squatting on the ground, sorting out the earth's veins and nurturing the dragon veins. They look like old farmers and have no air of great power at all.

Seeing this scene, Ling Dan was also moved, and then said respectfully, "Uncle-Master Jieyin, Uncle-Master Zhunti..."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin, though his expression was sorrowful, smiled and said, "Senior Brother Taiqing invited us to the Kunlun Banquet. He could have simply informed us of our Dao Fruits through the Great Dao River. It's our fault for troubling you to make this trip."

Ling Dan's expression shifted slightly, becoming serious: "Uncle-Master Jieyin... you and my master are from the same sect. Inviting you to Kunlun requires me, as a junior, to personally deliver the invitation as a sign of respect. It's also a matter of etiquette..."

Although Ling Dan is young, she understands many things.

Especially for the present moment, Jieyin and Zhunti, regardless of their future, they are all elders. Therefore, the etiquette towards elders is ultimately a matter of rules and respect.

Jieyin stroked his beard and smiled, his expression kind: "Good child, as expected of Senior Brother Taiqing's direct disciple, you are truly enviable. Pharmacist... you should learn from Ling Dan in the future..."

The pharmacist was also very cautious: "Master, I will learn from Senior Brother Ling Dan from now on."

Seeing this, Ling Dan didn't say anything, only smiled.

Zhunti, with a smile on his face, gazed at Ling Dan, making Ling Dan feel flustered.

Back then, it seems that Zhunti was one of those who proposed keeping Ling Dan in captivity within Zixiao Palace.

Zhunti, however, no longer harbored greed in his eyes. Instead, his gaze held a hint of envy: "Ling Dan... it's been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has advanced even further. Among the older generation of Dao Fruit cultivators, you would be considered top-tier. With this level of cultivation, you could easily stand on your own. Such cultivation is truly something we all envy, Senior Brother Taiqing!"

Ling Dan smiled awkwardly: "With the cultivation levels of my two senior uncles, teaching the pharmacist will eventually enable him to cultivate to the Dao Fruit and become powerful."

"That's true. Speaking of which, the Pharmacist and you share some similarities; he was originally a glass fruit tree from the West. By chance, he transformed into human form." "I was taken in by my senior brother. The transformation of a spiritual herb into human form is similar to the transformation of your elixir." Zhunti stroked his beard and smiled.

Ling Dan gazed at the Pharmacist, a hint of wonder appearing on her face: "I never expected that Junior Brother Pharmacist was actually transformed from a spiritual herb. That's quite similar to me."

Ling Dan looked at the pharmacist, who appeared somewhat shy.

A short while later, Ling Dan delivered the invitations to Zhunti and Jieyin, and then took her leave.

After Ling Dan left, her heart underwent many changes.

"Let's not talk about Zhunti or Jieyin's future. But right now, both of them are setting an example and working extremely hard to restore and promote the West." Ling Dan knew very well that there were many dragon veins kept in that Ling Mountain. But none of these dragon veins released a single trace of spiritual energy.

If even a tiny bit of energy were released, Mount Ling would undoubtedly transform into a blessed land. But now, Mount Ling is barren and desolate. Jieyin and Zhunti sacrificed their cultivation to improve the earth's veins and repair the dragon veins.

Besides, this dignified Dao Fruit cultivator, the future Heavenly Dao Primordial being, was dressed in a very simple Daoist robe, looking like an old farmer, and did not have the feeling of a great Daoist being at all.

It must be said that both sides went to great lengths for the West.

Ling Dan flew on the clouds, far away from the western lands.

Gazing at the desolate westward landscape along the way, I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

From a fair perspective, both Jieyin and Zhunti truly possess immense perseverance. After all, restoring such a desolate place is an impossible task.

Ling Dan's eyes showed contemplation, but she finally said, "In the end, we can't judge the powerful beings of the primordial world based on our past memories. Otherwise, we'll really make a fool of ourselves."

……

Over the next thousand years, Ling Dan went to the Wu tribe, Xikunlun, and other places.

They returned to Dongkunlun with Houtu, the ancestral witch, and west Wangmu.

"Finally back." Ling Dan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease as she sensed the familiar presence.

In the distance, Ling Xi, carrying Hu Niu, flew over at lightning speed: "Junior Brother, you're finally back."

Ling Xi was very happy, but when he looked at the Queen Mother and Houtu who had returned with Ling Dan, his expression was somewhat wary.

Ling Dan didn't care about any of that. With a smile, she nodded, took the tiger girl from Ling Xi's arms, and gently rubbed the tiger girl's little head.

"Awoo..." Tiger Girl made a lazy sound, as if she was about to fall asleep again.

I really don't know what happened, I developed this habit of loving to sleep.

Ling Dan playfully rubbed the tiger girl's hand and then asked, "Ling Xi... where are Master and the others?"

"Junior Brother... ever since you went out to deliver the invitations, Master and the others have gone into seclusion again to study the Yellow Court Inner Classic that you created, and then to perfect the entire 'Yellow Court Classic'." Ling Xi said this, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Ling Dan and then at the many female cultivators who followed him.

Those who came to Kunlun this time were not only the Queen Mother and Houtu, but also many female cultivators from Xikunlun, such as Xuan Nu and Su Nu... They all came.

Ling Dan ignored the resentful gaze and instead looked towards Kunlun's secluded cultivation place.

Now, the Taoist spirit is intertwined there, clearly indicating that the Three Pure Ones have comprehended something.

However, they seemed to realize that Ling Dan had returned, so they stopped and all came out of seclusion.

Ling Dan flew directly over: "Master, your disciple has successfully delivered all the invitations."

"Very good, now we can arrange the banquet," Lao Tzu said, stroking his beard.

Ling Dan nodded instantly: "Master... I will immediately instruct the young disciple to arrange the banquet."

With that, Ling Dan fled the place, fearing she would be reprimanded.

Upon seeing this, Tongtian shook his head: "Sigh... Only Ling Dan could pull off something like using the Pangu Banner to intimidate the enemy."

Yuanshi Tianzun grabbed the Pangu Banner and it landed in his hand: "Although it's a bit flashy, the harvest is not bad."

What else could I say but a bitter smile?

……

The banquet proceeded smoothly and ended smoothly as well.

At the Sanqing Temple, no one dares to cause trouble.

Lao Tzu passed down the Huangting Jing, which dispelled the desires of all beings and brought them much merit.

Even Ling Dan got a share of the pie.

Taking advantage of the merits accumulated and the experience of discussing the Dao with many great masters.

He immediately entered the secluded place to meditate and contemplate his own body.

"Next, I'll refine my clone to increase my strength!"

As Ling Dan pondered this, she flicked her sleeve, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared.

The furnace appeared, and Ling Dan took out a lot of pills.

Many of the pills were quite dull. They were all incarnations of Ling Dan's alchemy. Their medicinal properties had been over-burned before, and now that they had reappeared, they could hardly maintain their human form and could only appear in the form of pills.

Ling Dan threw her sword avatar into the furnace, and then sent in many spiritual herbs.

Not only that, Ling Dan once again took out many innate sword-wielding spiritual treasures. Many of these treasures flew out and fell into the furnace, transforming into endless sword energy.

The sword energy was refined and sharp.

However, this sword energy was instantly devoured upon encountering the Sword Dao Divine Pill.

"The pills for refining the sword avatar were originally made by me using many sword-related spiritual herbs and spiritual roots. However, the sword is sharp and masculine, and relying solely on pills to support it is somewhat fragile. I need to create a sword pill technique and integrate it into the pills," Ling Dan thought to himself.

Ling Dan's intelligent soul instantly gained many inspirations: "The sword pellet is like a pill, and also like a great vessel. If we find the common ground between the two, we can find the method of refining pills using a great vessel."

Ling Dan knew very well that it was easy to refine a large artifact into the shape of a pill. However, merely having the shape of a pill was not enough; it was still not a pill. Therefore, she needed to spend time deduce its potential.

Recalling the many descriptions of sword pellet techniques from his past life, he was suddenly struck by inspiration.
