Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 130 Fifteen Years (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Chi Kehuan was overjoyed and quickly accepted the jade slip, expressing her gratitude.

She is only a first-grade high-level alchemist, and she is still a long way from being promoted to a second-grade low-level alchemist.

This second-tier, low-grade alchemy inheritance was extremely precious to her.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly, and after explaining the matters concerning Chi Kehuan's shop, he left the alchemy shop and returned to his cave.

He had already wasted more than half a year opening this alchemy shop.

The elixir has now been refined and can be sold at the elixir shop.

In addition, the one hundred Foundation Establishment Pills provided to the Wen siblings have all been refined.

From now on, all you need to do is sell three to the Wen siblings each year, and you can sit back and collect spirit stones.

As for the shop, I'll leave it to Chi Kehuan to look after. If there's anything important, we can communicate through messages.

"I refined the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill six months ago, and now it's time to consume the pill and cultivate my physical body."

Now that the alchemy shops have no shortage of pills for sale, the matter can be considered settled.

Next, Jiang Yun prepared to go into seclusion to cultivate the Golden Bone Refining Pill Technique and begin tempering his physical body.

He went straight back to his cave dwelling without a moment's delay, immediately activated all the restrictions, and then entered the cultivation room.

The restriction was lifted, and the stone door to the cave slammed shut, shutting out the noise from the outside world.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the futon, and with a gentle wave of his hand, many spirit wood boxes containing the Thousand Refined Jade Bone Pills appeared in front of him.

He immediately closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy.

After several days of rest and recuperation, I reached my peak condition.

With a thought, Jiang Yun sent out a Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill from the spirit wood box.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

"I hope that these twenty-two Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills will allow me to break through to the fourth level of the Golden Bone Refining Technique in one fell swoop."

After swallowing the pill, Jiang Yun completely immersed himself in the process and began to refine the medicinal power of the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

Cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique allows one to temper their physical body like a magical treasure.

In this process, whether refining body-refining medicines or pills, or refining the inner core and essence of demonic beasts, one must endure immense pain.

The Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill is a third-tier pill for tempering the physical body. Without cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique, it will cause great pain to the physical body.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was not only consuming and refining the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill, but also cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

As the effects of the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill began to take hold, every time Jiang Yun circulated his internal energy, his meridians, bones, and flesh experienced unimaginable pain.

What's exciting is that the body's energy and blood begin to surge and slowly increase, cleansing the physical body at the same time.

"Wow, the medicinal power of this Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill is truly domineering!"

Jiang Yun took a breath and frowned.

This was the first time he had taken the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

Intense pain shot through his body, causing his forehead to be covered in fine beads of sweat.

"The pills are indeed more effective. I didn't experience this level of pain when I refined the blood essence of a third-tier dragon in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm."

"Fortunately, my physical strength is already comparable to that of a low-grade third-tier magic weapon, which is enough to support my cultivation."

Jiang Yun already possesses a third-tier physical body.

He could endure the dual pain of refining the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill and cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

Otherwise, if one continues to cultivate in this way, one will either faint or suffer a backlash from the breakdown of the physical body.

As the effects of the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill began to take hold, Jiang Yun practiced the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique even more diligently.

In this way, time passed day by day as I cultivated my physical body.

Five months later, Jiang Yun suddenly opened her eyes.

He raised his hands and flipped them up and down, then made a fist with his right hand and gently swung it forward.

Instantly, a sharp burst of energy emerged from his fist.

"The effects of consuming the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill and cultivating the Golden Bone Refining Technique seem to be quite remarkable."

"However, it takes five months to refine and absorb a single pill."

Jiang Yun felt a significant increase in his physical strength and began to consume and refine the second Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

Five more months passed after refining the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

Ten months have passed, and in two more months it will be a year.

"Even with the Golden Bone Refining Technique, it took ten months to refine two Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills."

"From now on, I will refine two pills each year, and spend the remaining two months studying weapon refining and formation techniques, while also managing the affairs of the pill shop and dealing with the Wen siblings."

Jiang Yun shook his head and paused his cultivation.

He took out his communication magic item to contact Chi Kehuan and inquire about the alchemy shop's business.

"We did sell some Golden Essence Pills, but as for the other pills—"

Chi Kehuan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Clearly, Zhou's Pill Shop's business has remained dismal for the past ten months.

"It's alright."

Jiang Yun was not in a hurry. After instructing Chi Kehuan on a few things, he ended the communication.

He then left the cultivation room, opened his cave dwelling, and waited for the Wen siblings to come and collect the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Half a month later, the Wen siblings visited Jiang Yun's cave together.

The two men visited Jiang Yun for the first time, bringing many gifts, clearly intending to befriend him.

"Please come in, both of you."

Jiang Yun invited the Wen siblings into the cave and treated them to spiritual tea and fruits.

The three sat in the cave and chatted happily.

"Senior, were all the pills sold in Zhou's Pill Shop developed by you?"

Wen Ruyu frequently visited Zhou's alchemy shop, and would chat with Chi Kehuan whenever he had free time.

She already knew that the pills in Zhou's Pill Shop had never appeared in Canglan Immortal City or even in the entire Zhou Kingdom's cultivation world.

There is only one possibility: all these pills were developed by Jiang Yun.

"Not really," Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "It's just that we improved some ancient formulas and adjusted the ingredients to create these pills."

The Wen siblings exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Improving ancient formulas sounds easy, but it's actually difficult.

Improving an ancient formula often requires the efforts of several generations, and those generations must dedicate themselves solely to improving that formula.

For a cultivation family or sect, it would be a thankless task to devote all their efforts and resources to improving ancient formulas.

Therefore, in the entire cultivation world, not many people are willing to waste resources on improving ancient formulas.

Jiang Yun said that his pills were all improved versions of ancient formulas, which naturally surprised the Wen siblings.

"Improving ancient formulas not only requires wasting a lot of spirit stones and cultivation resources, but also requires exceptional alchemy talent."

Wen Changqing flattered, "I truly admire Fellow Daoist Zhou's talent in alchemy."

"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses," Jiang Yun said with a smile. "I also admire Fellow Daoist Wen's talent for talisman making."

"If we're going to make a comparison, my brother's talisman-making skills are no match for your alchemy skills, senior."

Wen Ruyu also began to flatter him.

The three of them chatted happily, each offering their own comment.

After some conversation, they brought up the topic of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Jiang Yun immediately waved his hand and handed the three Foundation Establishment Pills to the Wen siblings.

The Wen siblings took out a bag of spirit stones containing 102,000 spirit stones and exchanged money for goods.

Having obtained the three Foundation Establishment Pills, the Wen siblings bid farewell and left Jiang Yun's cave.

After the two left, Jiang Yun did not immediately begin his cultivation.

In the spirit of reciprocity, he planned to bring some gifts and visit the neighboring cave dwelling in a few days.

Seven days later, Jiang Yun brought gifts and personally visited the Wen siblings.

The three of them had another pleasant conversation.

This time, they talked about many things related to making talismans and alchemy.

This is equivalent to Jiang Yun and Wen Changqing exchanging their experiences in talisman making and alchemy.

After visiting the Wen siblings, Jiang Yun reactivated the cave's restrictions and began consuming the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill to cultivate the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

Each year, two are refined and absorbed, taking a total of ten months. The last two months are used to study weapon refining and formations.

He also frequently visited the Wen siblings to expand his network of contacts.

And so it went, day after day, year after year.

Eleven years later.

Jiang Yun refined and absorbed all twenty-two Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills, and cultivated the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique to the peak of the third level. He was only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level.

"Almost there!"

"At this level, it would take refining six or seven more Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills for the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique to break through to the fourth level."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun did not hesitate and immediately left the cave to purchase the medicinal materials for the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill.

This time, five sets of medicinal herbs were purchased, costing a total of 110,000 spirit stones.

All these medicinal materials were refined into pills, resulting in twelve Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills.

Jiang Yun didn't delay any longer and continued to swallow and refine the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills, while simultaneously circulating the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique.

Four years later.

During these four years, Jiang Yun consumed and refined eight more Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills.

During the process of refining the eighth Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill, the Golden Bone Refining Treasure Technique finally broke through to the fourth level.

After fifteen years of cultivation, I have finally reached this point.

Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and threw a punch.

Instantly, the force of the punch caused a gust of wind, resulting in a series of explosive sounds coming from the training room.

A casual punch could blast a Foundation Establishment cultivator into dust.

"Tsk tsk, a physical body comparable to a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon."

Jiang Yun clicked her tongue, her face showing excitement.

At this moment, his physical strength had broken through to the middle level of the third rank, and its power was comparable to that of a middle level third-rank magic weapon.

Simply put, Jiang Yun can fight against a mid-level third-tier demonic beast using only his physical strength.

A third-tier mid-level demonic beast is comparable to, or even surpasses, a cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

After all, demonic beasts are born with powerful bodies. Unless human cultivators have strong magical power and high-level magic treasures, it is difficult for them to harm demonic beasts of the same level.

However, Jiang Yun doesn't need to worry about this issue at all now.

"With the advancement of physical body, the strength will be greatly enhanced. If we encounter a powerful enemy in the future, even without using magic power, we will be able to withstand a third-tier flying sword with our physical strength and remain invincible."

Jiang Yun felt the surging power emanating from his body and couldn't help but feel radiant.

Advancing one's physical body to the middle level of the third rank is even more difficult than raising one's cultivation to the middle stage of Core Formation.

After all, not many people have the opportunity to cultivate both physical and magical powers like Jiang Yun.

Cultivating magical power is difficult enough, let alone cultivating the physical body.

Most Core Formation cultivators have pitifully weak physical bodies, and when enemies get close, they can only rely on magical artifacts to save their lives.

With Jiang Yun's physical body, he doesn't need any magical artifacts to save his life.

If anyone dares to get close to him, he'll punch them into dust.

Furthermore, cultivating magical power and improving one's cultivation level requires a large amount of spirit stones and resources, and cultivating the physical body requires even more.

Ninety percent of cultivators in the cultivation world do not have the resources for dual cultivation of body and spirit, and cannot afford to consume so many spirit stones and resources.

Little did they know, Jiang Yun had cultivated the Golden Bone Refining Technique to the fourth level, refining a third-tier dragon and thirty Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pills.

The Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill is a third-tier pill, and the cost of one batch of pills is more than 20,000 spirit stones.

Normally, a Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill would cost 60,000 to 70,000 spirit stones to buy.

Thirty Thousand Refined Jade Bone Pills would cost 2.1 million spirit stones.

If a cultivator had 2.1 million spirit stones, almost all of them would choose to use them to cultivate their magical power and improve their realm.

Who would use these spirit stones to cultivate their physical body?

However, Jiang Yun does have this condition.

For other cultivators, using so many third-tier pills to cultivate their physical body is undoubtedly too extravagant and unaffordable.

However, Jiang Yun could afford it.

He could eat the Thousand-Refined Jade Bone Pill like candy.

"The physical body has advanced; the next step is to enhance the power of the divine sense."

"When the Thousand Machine Divine Control Technique breaks through to the third level, one's divine sense will surge. After the surge in divine sense, one can then temper the thirty-six flying swords to the third level."

"In this way, I am confident that I can deal with even mid-level third-tier demonic beasts. I can go out of the city to hunt third-tier demonic beasts to obtain demon cores and prepare for the shattering and forming of the core."

After his physical breakthrough, Jiang Yun did not become complacent.

There are many things to do, but we'll only accomplish one at the moment.

Next, as planned, the focus will be on cultivating the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique to enhance the power of divine sense.

Then, gather materials to temper the flying swords, upgrading the thirty-six flying swords to the third tier.

After that, it was time to find resources for Core Formation and cultivate the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Core Shattering Technique.

"It would be best to complete the three core-shattering stages during the early stages of core formation, and cultivate the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Core-Shattering Technique to the third stage."

"If the core breaks down during the mid-to-late stages of Core Formation, who knows how much time will be wasted."

"Anyway, I only plan to shatter the core three times with the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Core Shattering Technique. The first three revolutions can be completed in the early stage of Core Formation."

According to the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill Shattering Technique, one can shatter the pill three times in each of the early, middle, and late stages of the Core Formation realm, for a total of nine times.

Each time the elixir is shattered and reformed, lifespan will increase by one hundred years.

In the world of supernatural cultivation, a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage without two supernatural abilities.

When their lifespan is about to end, they will choose to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill Shattering Technique to shatter their elixir and form a new one to prolong their life.

Jiang Yun doesn't need to prolong his lifespan; he only needs to complete the first three transformations to increase the probability of achieving Nascent Soul formation by 100%.

With a 100% chance of forming a Nascent Soul, he only needs to consider the tribulation and inner demons, without needing to prepare treasures such as Nascent Soul-forming artifacts.

After planning his next cultivation journey, Jiang Yun left his cave dwelling and prepared to head to Zhou's Pill Shop.

Thinking of Zhou's Pill Shop, Jiang Yun couldn't help but stop and take out a piece of animal hide from his storage bag.

"A mid-grade, third-tier Spirit Condensation Pill, which can be used to assist in the cultivation of spiritual sense."

"If we can refine this Mind-Concentrating Pill, the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique will likely be able to break through to the third level very soon."

"When I master the art of splitting my mind, I will be able to control the substitute puppet with my divine sense."

After careful consideration, Jiang Yun quickly made up her mind.

It's time to start aiming for the third-tier mid-grade alchemist level.

He has two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, which are perfectly capable of refining this Mind-Concentrating Pill, but he must be absolutely certain before he can begin.
