In an instant, the Divine Medicine Sect's momentum soared. With so many core disciple positions vacant, every disciple was determined to give it their all.
Chen Liao was pleased with this and ignored the visiting card on the table.
Under the orders, the Divine Medicine Sect, which outsiders thought would have fallen into silence, burst forth with tremendous energy, and the daily performance stage was incredibly lively.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed amidst the fervent cultivation frenzy of the Divine Medicine Sect disciples, and the winner of the first grand competition had emerged.
Xie Yifan's eyes welled up with tears when he saw the top-notch techniques and medicines in his hands.
He was originally just a menial disciple tending the medicinal herb fields, but in the blink of an eye, he became the senior disciple of the inner sect.
He was filled with fervor for Li Dao, the sect leader he had only met once.
Li Dao, standing by the ancient well, was unaware that he had unknowingly gained a fervent admirer.
At this moment, Li Daosheng was barely alive, his body was hunched over, and his energy and spirit seemed to have been drained away, his skin as dry as tree bark.
Behind him, a golden tree was rooted in an ancient well, radiating a vibrant life force that was completely opposite to the aura emanating from Li Dao.
The golden medicinal tree branch landed on Li Dao, attempting to transfer vital energy, but Li Dao refused.
At this moment, Li Dao was surrounded by a dense aura of death, and the flame of his life was flickering as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
However, in the next moment, Li Dao's body trembled slightly, and the world became still, as if a storm was sweeping through.
hum-
He suddenly opened his eyes, and in those cloudy eyes, there was a sense of realization and regret, but not a trace of panic.
"Life and death are intertwined; life and death are revealed in the cycle of yin and yang!"
"What a pity, what you've grasped is only the tip of the iceberg. To truly understand life and death and the workings of destiny, you're still a long way off!"
"But even a little bit is enough."
His voice was hoarse, like metal scraping against metal, but the emotions hidden in his tone made even Elder Li Yu, who was stationed outside, feel strange emotions.
"What's going on? Why am I feeling inexplicably sad?" Li Yu was puzzled.
Although I didn't know what was going on, I knew that letting this emotion spread would inevitably lead to trouble, so I immediately tried to keep my mind clear.
Beside the ancient well, Li Dao saw his own state: surrounded by deathly aura, his primordial spirit was obscured and on the verge of death, almost about to step into the gates of death.
Without lingering any longer, he embarked on his own transformation journey, drawing upon his insights into the cycle of life and death of the Golden Medicine Tree.
bang——
He took out the large cauldron, which was still warm, and focused his divine sense on the chaos inside.
A golden elixir shone brightly, emitting a faint glow, as if it contained boundless Dao essence.
With a leap, he landed beside the cauldron. Seeing the chaotic energy permeating the cauldron, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Looking at the rich vitality within the ancient well, he took out the Creation Body Refining Pill he had refined, and felt reassured.
He lifted his foot and stepped into the cauldron.
boom--
As soon as I entered, it felt as if towering mountains were pressing down on every inch of my flesh and bones, and excruciating pain surged through my heart.
Holy light flashed around him, and immortal Dao patterns appeared, but they were eroded by the chaotic energy.
The holy light dimmed, and the Dao patterns were eroded and damaged in the blink of an eye.
Click, click—
The sound of mincing meat emanated from the large cauldron, as every inch of bone was being ground up.
Li Dao hurriedly swallowed the Creation Body Refining Pill. The pill entered his mouth and landed in his dantian, emitting a silvery light.
It continuously repaired the bones and flesh that had been eroded and worn away, but this constant cycle of breaking and repairing caused Li Dao to groan involuntarily.
"Body Refinement in Chaos, you must persevere!"
The Creation Body Refining Pill continuously released its medicinal properties within his body, and milky-white Creation Qi flowed through his limbs and bones.
However, under the endless, surging chaotic energy, the flesh and blood were immediately corroded, revealing the translucent white bones that emitted a golden light.
Li Dao felt the excruciating pain, as if someone was carving something on his bones with an awl.
"This can't go on! My Dao body will collapse before the transformation is complete!"
"It seems this is the only way!"
Li Dao laboriously raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and chanted a profound incantation, using the Creation Body Refining Pill to protect his life force as he slowly moved towards the golden elixir.
The space inside the cauldron was vast, as if he had fallen into a chaotic world. When he arrived in front of the golden core, much of his flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only a broken body that was still moving.
The flesh and blood flow back and forth in constant cycles of erosion and regeneration, and each time the body is restored, it becomes much stronger.
As the bones were constantly eroded by the chaotic energy, they became increasingly crystalline. Even before that, chaotic energy had been secretly generated between the bones.
Only now could they hold out for a moment, thanks in large part to the Creation Body Refining Pill, which kept their life force intact and allowed the chaos to refine their bones and flesh.
The golden core, which was no bigger than a thumb to outsiders, was now as large as the sun, radiating golden light that pierced through the barrier of chaos.
"Could this be the elixir used by Kunpeng for its rebirth?"
The moment this thought arose in Li Dao's mind, Tianhuang's voice rang out in his head.
"In the past, the master wanted to refine the Nirvana Pill to be reborn from the ashes, but unfortunately, his immortal power was exhausted and his primordial spirit was damaged, so the refining failed."
"I never imagined that this worthless pill would end up in your hands, and after such a long period of nurturing, it has actually gained some efficacy. Now, go inside."
Li Dao's gradually muddled consciousness immediately became clear as Tianhuang's voice came.
He raised his hand, his pale, bony hand terrifying, and pressed it directly onto the crimson sun.
thump—
Li Dao's mind was shaken as a tingling sensation swept through his body, followed by waves of comfort.
It felt like falling into the ocean, the warm water engulfing him, and a wave of lazy comfort lulled him to sleep.
"Don't sleep!"
Li Daoqiang roused himself, remaining vigilant. He knew that falling asleep now might jeopardize the opportunity for transformation.
He sat cross-legged facing the sun, as if he had returned to the womb, with streams of pure energy filling his surroundings.
With a firm resolve, his body trembled, and the Yin-Yang axis beneath him unfolded, upon which the meaning of life and death flowed.
Slowly closing his eyes, his body seemed to transform into a withered tree, not immediately absorbing external energy.
Instead, it continuously strengthens the vitality within its body, comprehending the profound meaning between life and death, until at a certain moment when the vitality is fully restored.
Beneath him, on the axis of the Dao, life and death, yin and yang complement each other, the sound of the Dao arises all around him, and myriad Daos accompany him with every move he makes.
Li Dao sat cross-legged within the crimson sun, having transformed into a golden core, with a continuous stream of chaotic energy tempering his physique.
The energy within the Golden Core continuously replenished him, and the Nirvana power contained within it caused his body to undergo a constant transformation.
Bones shatter and regenerate, flesh rot and regenerate.
In this back and forth process, chaotic energy naturally emanated from the bones, and the golden Dao bones began to transform into chaotic Dao bones.
Chapter 217 Breaking the Shackles!
Just as Li Daoshang was undergoing his transformation within the chaotic energy, the commotion outside the Divine Medicine Sect subsided, but undercurrents were just beginning to surge.
Inside the ancient hall of the Myriad Medicines Sect, the strongest members of the top-tier forces in the Medicine Capital, including the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Hundred Herbs Palace, gathered together.
Among them were many cultivators at the initial stage of formation. The Sect Master of the Myriad Medicines Sect spoke first:
"As you all have seen, the sect leader of the Divine Medicine Sect is avoiding guests. According to our spies who have infiltrated the sect, that person has entered the Medicine God Well."
The expressions on everyone's faces varied. The Medicine God Well was where the Medicine God rose to power and was also the best place to heal.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one said anything; they were all silently calculating in their hearts.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, the Sect Master of the Myriad Medicines Sect lost interest in continuing to beat around the bush and spoke directly:
"I have received word that a Venerable One will be passing through this area in three months, and I have already made contact with him!"
Upon hearing this, the ancient hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.
"What? A Venerable One? You must be joking!"
"What incredible luck! They even managed to invite a Venerable One!"
"If the Venerable One were to take this path, I fear even the Medicine Capital would have to change its allegiance!"
The Sect Master of Ten Thousand Medicines, naturally aware of the influence of a Venerable One, explained:
“The Venerable Mingyang comes from another region and will not stay here for long. It took a great deal of effort to contact him this time.”
"He promised to help us once if we could offer him a price that satisfied him."
Everyone's eyes gleamed. If they could get the Venerable One to take action, then the medicine would be entirely under their control.
The medicinal fields and spiritual herbs will all belong to them; their current efforts will yield a hundredfold reward.
With this thought, the light in everyone's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
As for whether that Venerable One will take over Medicine Capital, as an outsider, once he does take over Medicine Capital, the Fire Kingdom's royal family will not stand idly by, so there's no need to worry at all.
As their eyes met, they had already made a plan.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, the sect leader of the Myriad Medicines Sect smiled slightly, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes.
"The Divine Medicine Sect..."
Time flies, and March has passed uneventfully.
The cultivators coming and going in the Medicine Capital could all feel the undercurrents within the city, and a sense of restlessness permeated the air.
The Divine Medicine Sect, however, was like a pure land, automatically isolating itself from the undercurrents of the outside world.
Beside the Medicine God Well, a large cauldron stands, and strange metallic clanging sounds come from within it.
It was as if the Daoist voice had first sounded at the beginning of creation, and that great cauldron was the source of everything.
Behind the large cauldron, a medicinal tree over three zhang tall, its body shimmering with golden light, stood tall, its medicinal properties cascading down like starlight.
Beneath the medicinal tree, Hei Sha lay there, letting the medicinal properties seep into his body, snoring softly.
