Evil Immortal!

Chapter 116 A Small Goal: Achieving First-Grade Elixir!

If Meng Yuan were to encounter Wu Xingkong now, he would be confident that he could fight him head-on and not be at a disadvantage!

Of course, Wu Xingkong is no simple character either; his cultivation level will also increase, and he cannot remain stationary.

"Over 1.4 million experience points... I still have so many left. It seems I'll have to wait a while longer to advance to the Golden Core realm."

Meng Yuan glanced at the experience points on the panel, pondered for a moment, and chuckled, "But it's good. The Golden Core realm emphasizes accumulation, and even more so, the purity of one's cultivation. Before condensing the Golden Core, the purer one's cultivation, the more profound one's supernatural abilities, and the more supernatural abilities one possesses, the higher the grade of the Golden Core will be!"

"I can take this opportunity to cultivate a few more supernatural abilities, solidify my foundation, and it will be of great benefit to advance to a higher realm in the future."

The path to the Golden Elixir is divided into nine grades and three major levels.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades are considered low-grade Golden Cores. Their elixir energy is mixed and their true essence is relatively scattered. Their supernatural abilities are generally limited, and they are stuck at the Golden Core stage, unable to make any further progress. They will find it difficult to advance to the Yin Spirit stage in this lifetime.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth grades are mid-grade Golden Cores, with pure and refined elixir energy, but possessing strong supernatural abilities. They already have a chance to advance to the Yin Spirit realm and are often the backbone of major cultivation sects.

The first, second, and third grades are considered superior Golden Elixir cultivators. Those who achieve this level have a significantly higher chance of advancing to the Yin Spirit realm compared to those who achieve the middle or lower grades.

Especially when the pill reaches the second grade, there is a chance to advance to the Yang God realm, and even a glimmer of hope for the Yuan Shen True Immortal realm.

Once the elixir is completed to the first grade, it is already known in the cultivation world as a "seed of the primordial spirit." It is a true existence that has the potential for the primordial spirit to achieve immortality. In those major immortal sects, it is a rare immortal seed that the sect will devote all its efforts to cultivating.

Such a person will be the most eye-catching presence in any crowd, no matter where they go!

At the same time, according to the template classification of the players' panels, he is also a Dark Red Calamity level existence, belonging to the peerless genius who is invincible in the same level and can fight against those of higher levels!

Meng Yuan's "Zixia Zhenjie" is a Daoist book passed down through generations. Under normal circumstances, after he cultivates "Ziyang Zhenjie" to the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion, when he condenses the Golden Core, he will often condense the Golden Core of the corresponding grade according to his own understanding of "Ziyang Zhenjie".

If a cultivator's comprehension is average and their cultivation qi is not pure, they will generally condense a mid-grade Crimson Fire Golden Core or Crimson Flame Golden Core, which are fourth or fifth grade golden cores.

A person with pure cultivation and a deep understanding of Taoist scriptures may, if they are lucky, condense a Purple Qi Yuan Dan or even a Purple Yang Golden Dan. The former is a third-grade golden elixir, and the latter is a second-grade golden elixir.

If a cultivator who practices the "Purple Sun True Explanation" has extraordinary luck, pure true energy, and high comprehension, and fully comprehends its essence, and with the right timing, location, and people, there is a possibility that they can condense the "Great Sun Purple Cloud Pill"!

This is a first-grade golden elixir, and also the highest achievement in the "Ziyang True Explanation".

Of course, even with the help of the panel, Meng Yuan's chances of condensing this Great Sun Purple Cloud Golden Pill are probably not high. It also depends on luck, and the right time, place, and people are all indispensable.

Because there were many such examples in Meng Yuan's previous life.

Even if many players cultivate world-class or classic cultivation techniques and books, not every player can achieve the first grade of alchemy. There are many players who can achieve the second or third grade, or even the middle grade.

The reason is simple: players are restless and have many distracting thoughts. Based on this alone, they are destined to fail to achieve the first-grade Golden Core. Even if they cultivate with excellent quality Taoist books and have the help of the panel, it is still difficult to achieve the first-grade Golden Core.

Only a very few lucky individuals, with unwavering will, pure Dao heart, profound and refined cultivation, and good fortune, manage to achieve the first-grade elixir by sheer luck.

Meng Yuan in his previous life suffered from this. At first, the Taoist books he cultivated were of average quality. Later, he did not pay much attention to the hurdle of forming the core. In the end, he was lucky enough to form a fourth-grade core. Later, when he was advancing to the Yang God realm, he encountered an insurmountable bottleneck because his foundation was unstable.

In order to make up for his foundation, he spent a lot of effort and finally managed to make up for it, but he also missed many important hurdles, which stopped him from becoming a true immortal.

With the lessons of his past life echoing in his mind, Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't be careless.

Meng Yuan didn't think he was particularly lucky in this life; at least he wouldn't dare to rely on luck to overcome the crucial hurdle of condensing the Golden Core.

If he continues to cultivate normally, Meng Yuan believes that with his current cultivation foundation, he will most likely achieve the third grade of Dan (a type of elixir) and condense the Purple Qi Yuan Dan. With even better luck, he might even have a chance to achieve the second grade Purple Yang Golden Dan.

But since Meng Yuan has been reborn and transmigrated to the world of [Evil Immortal], and has finally embarked on the path of cultivation, he is not here for any third-grade or second-grade golden core. His ultimate goal is to attain immortality and become a primordial spirit true immortal!

To achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to refine the elixir to the first grade, which is also Meng Yuan's current small goal.

The grade of cultivation methods and Daoist books is only a part of the decisive factors in the grade of Golden Core, but not the whole reason.

To truly achieve a high-grade elixir, or even a first-grade elixir, one needs not only the grade of the cultivation method or Daoist book, but also the cultivator's own mental fortitude, willpower, accumulated supernatural abilities, luck, comprehension, and favorable timing and location.

Meng Yuan was confident in other aspects, but there were others he couldn't interfere with. However, he still had some ideas about accumulating supernatural powers.

As long as he accumulates a wealth of knowledge and his supernatural abilities are profound and sophisticated, this will also increase his chances of achieving the highest rank in alchemy!

Simply put, the more supernatural abilities he cultivates that do not conflict with the "Purple Yang True Explanation," the more profound his accumulation will be, and the better it will be for him to condense his golden core.

Relying solely on "Purple Cloud True Fire" and "Pure Yang Sword Technique" is somewhat insufficient.

If he could master the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, a top-tier thunder technique of the Xuanmen, and add the Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing, it would greatly solidify his foundation, enhance his potential, and significantly increase his chances of achieving the first rank of alchemy!

Of course, both the Five Thunder Orthodox Method and the Golden Body of Withering and Flourishing require a great deal of experience.

Meng Yuan was already mentally prepared for this.

After advancing to the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion Realm, Meng Yuan stayed at home, planning to go to the Demon Suppression Division after a while.

After all, he had only recently advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, and in the eyes of some shrewd people in the Demon Suppression Division, he was already considered a rare cultivation genius.

Only a few months have passed, yet he has already crossed two minor realms in succession. If this were discovered, it would likely attract considerable attention.

Putting everything else aside, it will at least attract the attention of Hall Master Tu Yuncheng and Deputy Hall Master Qingyun Sanren, and they might even summon him to meet with them.

Qingyun Sanren was one thing, as he was Meng Yuan's superior, but Tu Yuncheng was different. This person was somewhat special, scheming and not exactly upright. Meng Yuan didn't plan to deal with this kind of person for the time being.
