Chapter 301 - 176: Medium Grade Resurrection Pill_1
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, akin to a jest, Gold Sword Zen Ren sighed softly, “It is my fault as a teacher. You have achieved such a great merit, yet unlike other cultivators, you cannot be free to travel the world but get to remain only within the tiny scope of the Liu Yun Sect.”
Lin Yi shook his head, saying earnestly, “Master, there’s no need for self-blame. My words just now were not self-deprecation but my genuine thoughts. I can roam the world at any time, there’s no need to rush. Once I achieve the Golden Core, the situation will naturally become safer.”
After he accomplished the Golden Core, he would be equivalent to a big shot, moreover, with the effect of his berserk state, even the old monster of Primordial Infant would be unable to suppress him.
Seeing Lin Yi in this manner, Gold Sword Zen Ren looked at him with approval, “Since you have such ambition, I can rest assured. It seems you have not lost your persistent courage due to excessive caution.”
Many Foundation Building Cultivators daren’t say they could definitely achieve the Golden Core, yet Lin Yi has that kind of confidence and ambition, indeed rare.
Lin Yi smiled, with the aid of the Golden Finger title, he continued imagining the higher realms,”Master, my being overly cautious is entirely for the purpose of achieving a higher realm someday, I definitely won’t retreat.”
“What’s more, with you and my senior brother as examples, I daresay I won’t abstain from even imagining the golden core.”
Saying this, he suddenly remembered something and immediately asked, “Speaking of which, Master, Senior Sister Qi told me previously that our Liu Yun Sect’s ancestor had ended his seclusion and plans to refine the Sky Herb Pill for the senior brother. Has it started yet?”
Now, it’s time for the Dan God Secret Realm to open again, and twenty years have passed since the last time the Precious Spirit Grass of the Giant Spirit Tree was obtained.
At present, Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng only has fifty to sixty years left to live.
A few days ago, he had met Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu at Golden Sword Peak, she looked quite excited. Upon inquiring, he learned about the Nascent Soul Ancestor ending his seclusion.
For a Golden Core Real Person like Gold Sword Zen Ren, several decades of secluded cultivation is very normal, much less for the thousand year lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Some Nascent Soul True Lords in the midst of hundreds of years of cultivation, already indifferent to emotions, won’t make a move unless the sect is on the verge of being destroyed, let alone help a foundation-building cultivator refine a Heaven Pill.
Gold Sword Zen Ren nodded, “Indeed, our Liu Yun Sect’s Elder Xuan Qing recently ended his seclusion and agreed to refine the Heaven Pill for your senior brother. After he came out of seclusion he still has some affairs to deal with, so it would probably be some time before he begins the refining.”
Even though he is the most powerful Golden Core in the Liu Yun Sect, he is nothing in the eyes of Elder Xuan Qing. That’s the huge gap created by differences in realm.
“That’s great. It looks like Senior Brother will be able to embark on the path of cultivation again this year.” Lin Yi spoke joyfully. If this Heaven Pill doesn’t get refined successfully, he would probably have reached the Golden Core by then.
“Hopefully.” Said Gold Sword Zen Ren calmly. The Heaven Pill also presents some difficulty even for the Nascent Soul True Lord. Elder Xuan Qing prepared him well in advance for the possibility of failure.
The fortunate thing is, there are two stubs of the Sky Herb available, which means there are two opportunities for refining. Even if one attempt fails, as long as the other one succeeds, it’s still a cause for celebration.
“Master, I will take my leave now and continue my cultivation in the cave mansion.” Lin Yi made a fist salute. Even though Gold Sword Zen Ren’s facial expression was very calm, he could still detect some negative emotions from his words.
Estimating that even Elder Xuan Qing does not have a hundred percent assurance to successfully refine the Heaven Pill. By success, it’s not just refining a lower or medium-grade resurrection pill, but at least a higher-grade one and only then there would be a chance to restore Zhou Yun Feng’s damaged foundation.
His high-order alchemy skill is already at Grandmaster level. Once he achieves the Golden Core, he estimates that he will reach even higher Spirit Level Alchemy Skill.
According to the current rate of his cultivation progress, under normal circumstances, he is certain to breakthrough to the Golden Core realm within twenty years, even if he has to comprehend the tenth layer of the Creation Method.
There’s still a year’s time before the Dan God Secret Realm truly opens, and the refining of the Heaven Pill merely requires several tens of days.
If this Heaven Pill’s refinement fails this time, Lin Yi will also consider helping the disciples of Golden Sword Peak acquire the Sky Herb. Likewise, to divert attention from him, he’d help disciples from other sects acquire some spirit grass too.
After all, this senior brother has helped him a lot on the cultivation path.
Gold Sword Zen Ren waved his hand lightly, “Go ahead, your swordsmanship training is not bad. However, don’t forget to gain actual combat experience too. You can ask your third senior brother Li Yuanqing to spar with you.”
“I will heed your instruction, Master. I’ll take my leave now.” Lin Yi saluted with a fist and left the Golden Sword Hall.
Once he returned to his Cave Mansion, he began to summarise the cultivation achievements of the past twelve years, in order to determine the next step in his cultivation plan.
First, his cultivation level is already at the Foundation Building Eighth Level with a progress of six hundred points. Just two hundred points shy of the Great Completion at the eighth level.
Even if he couldn’t take advantage of the Liu Yun Sect later and could only obtain cultivation points from the Pill Immortal Master, he is confident that he can achieve the Golden Core within twenty years.
Next is alchemy, his high-level alchemy skills and Piano-refining Alchemy Technique are now at the Grandmaster level. He has over a hundred points of experience, if he wants to reach Great perfection he requires a thousand points of experience.
