Chapter 1105: Dao Fruit Elixir

Yuan Xu meticulously transcribed all the data from his research on immortal spiritual energy into a physical book and presented it to Chen Mobai. By not storing it online, there would be no digital trace. Chen Mobai was very pleased with this.

"True Lord," Yuan Xu reported, "I also studied the pill formulas you provided. I found that the two seem to originate from the same source, sharing identical core frameworks. Considering the Immortal Sect's situation, while spiritual energy won't be scarce in the future, it's still better to be economical. How about merging these two pill formulas into one?" Yuan Xu was reporting on another task Chen Mobai had assigned. Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai inwardly praised him, thinking, 'As expected, he is the Immortal Sect's foremost mind after Quan Xing.' Both the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the True Sacred Spirit Pill had evolved from the Grand Dao Pill formula. For the Immortal Sect, one type of Soul Transformation elixir was indeed sufficient.

"Then let's proceed as you suggested. Oh, and I discussed with Senior Brother Cheng Xuan that to prepare for the next pioneering war, we've decided to open access to the Dao Fruits of the Pill Cauldron Jade Tree for Immortal Sect cultivators. I can decide to give you one of the Dao Fruits related to pills. You are a fifth-tier alchemist and incredibly intelligent; after refining it, you should at least gain knowledge of some sixth-tier alchemy." Chen Mobai always rewarded merit, fully motivating cultivators. Without a doubt, Yuan Xu was an exceptional talent, and his wholehearted assistance saved Chen Mobai a great deal of effort, which is why he directly offered a pill Dao Fruit.

"Thank you, True Lord!" Yuan Xu was naturally surprised and delighted upon hearing this. After their conversation, the two instantly teleported to the Wuqi Dao Academy.

After a brief word with Cheng Xuan, Chen Mobai led Yuan Xu directly into the Yu Ping Minor Realm. It was Yuan Xu's first time witnessing the profound heritage of the Wuqi lineage, and he was thoroughly dazzled. The myriad colorful fruits on the jade tree made it difficult for him to choose. "I will impart to you the method of acquisition and refinement..." Chen Mobai extended a finger, directly transmitting the secret method into Yuan Xu's sea of consciousness. Yuan Xu closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, then nodded and opened his eyes, indicating he had learned it. After much consideration, Yuan Xu selected a purple Dao Fruit. He immediately sat down beneath the Pill Cauldron Jade Tree, holding it in his palm, as his Nascent Soul emerged from his crown and began refining it into his body using the secret method.

This refinement process took a full month. Chen Mobai left his second Nascent Soul there to stand guard, while his main body took the three Dao Fruits he had previously picked and traveled to the Sky River Realm to give them to Qing Nü. When it was time to account to Cheng Xuan, he would simply say he had refined them himself.

Qing Nü had just refined a water-attribute Dao Fruit, and now three more Dao Fruits containing sixth-tier alchemy knowledge arrived. She felt that Chen Mobai, her husband, was truly good to her, always thinking of her first whenever there was something useful. Under Chen Mobai's guidance and assistance, Qing Nü refined the first Dao Fruit.

"This Dao Fruit contains a pill formula called the Lifeblood Refinement Pill," Qing Nü said, opening her eyes with a hint of surprise and doubt, describing the formula. "It's for body-refining cultivators, and if consumed as a complete set, it can help one comprehend the realm of rebirth from a drop of blood..." Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression changed to one of shock.

Qing Nü saw his expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" When she was in the Immortal Sect previously, her status was lower, and she hadn't come into contact with the core inheritances of the Four Great Dao Academies, so she didn't know that rebirth from a drop of blood was a realm equivalent to the Void Refinement stage. After Chen Mobai's detailed explanation, Qing Nü also looked astonished. "This is actually a sixth-tier body-refining realm! As expected, it's a pill formula that can reach up to the sixth tier..." The Dao Fruit Qing Nü refined contained a complete set of Lifeblood Refinement Pills, from first-tier to sixth-tier, each corresponding to a specific body-refining realm.

"Can only cultivators take it?" Chen Mobai, however, thought of another question and asked.

"There's no such restriction; any living creature can take it," Qing Nü replied, understanding his meaning, and reiterated the notes on the pill formula.

"It seems this pill formula is even more useful for demon beasts." After hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression became solemn. Although human cultivators also practice body refinement, most do so as a secondary pursuit, with their main focus being the Profound Gate Nascent Soul Grand Dao. But demon beast true spirits are different; the vast majority cultivate the path of indestructibility through their physical bodies. For example, the lineage of the little Yellow Dragon Girl, if theoretically evolved to its most primordial and ultimate state and if the Grand Dao isn't occupied by others, could become an immortal true spirit of the seventh tier.

"I can first try to refine third and fourth-tier Lifeblood Refinement Pills. Little Yellow Dragon Girl and Jing'er will both need them. I wonder if the Tai Sui Child can take them?" After Qing Nü refined the pill formula Dao Fruit, she quickly mastered the Lifeblood Refinement Pill. Fifth and sixth-tier materials are too precious, so she could only refine lower tiers. The Five Elements Sect, over the years, has developed desolate ruins and captured many spiritual beasts for taming, some even possessing true spirit bloodlines. With this pill, they could grow much faster.

"If we can artificially breed fifth-tier true spirits in the future, Soul Transformation elixirs will become an endless supply," Qing Nü said, her face full of hope, even thinking of combining this Lifeblood Refinement Pill with the Grand Dao Pill.

"There are also two more Dao Fruits; you should try refining them..." Chen Mobai was also very much looking forward to this. Thinking of the legendary seventh-tier pill formulas, he couldn't help but want to extract them immediately.

Qing Nü nodded and, with an alchemist's eagerness, refined the second Dao Fruit. What appeared this time was a pill called the Purple Sun Immortal Longevity Pill. As the name suggests, it's a longevity elixir. This pill only had three tiers: fourth, fifth, and sixth. The fourth-tier could extend life by 60 years, the fifth-tier by 300 years, and the sixth-tier by 800 years. After reading through it, Qing Nü concluded that the fifth-tier Purple Sun Immortal Longevity Pill offered the best value, both in terms of material efficiency and longevity effects.

"Can you refine the last one?" At this moment, Chen Mobai looked at Qing Nü with concern. After refining two Dao Fruits, her spiritual aura was already fluctuating, a sign of severe spiritual consciousness depletion.

"I don't think I can right now. I might need to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage before I can refine another one..." Qing Nü shook her head and didn't force herself. Hearing what she said, Chen Mobai also understood why the Pill Cauldron Sect throughout history only allowed disciples to refine one Dao Fruit at a time; this must be one of the reasons.

"Then I'll refine this one, so Senior Brother Cheng Xuan won't have questions about the accounts later." Chen Mobai nodded, took the last Dao Fruit, and refined it instantly.

"Oh!" Given his cultivation level, he naturally absorbed all the alchemy knowledge contained within the entire Dao Fruit with ease. He then discovered that this particular Dao Fruit seemed to be the most useful for him at present. "The inheritance within this Dao Fruit is a pill formula called the Flying Immortal Dragon Gall Pill. It uses dragon gall as the main ingredient and can enhance cultivation. The pill's tier depends on the dragon gall. For example, if I were to slay the two fifth-tier Flood Dragons from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court and use their galls to refine it, the pill would become a fifth-tier one. And a fifth-tier Flying Immortal Dragon Gall Pill can precisely enhance the cultivation of a Soul Transformation cultivator..." After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nü's expression also became slightly peculiar.

"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" It was almost as if heaven intended for Chen Mobai to slay the Flood Dragons of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, thus arranging this pill formula for him. Chen Mobai had always been very diligent in improving his cultivation, and if such an opportunity arose, he certainly wouldn't miss it. However, he wouldn't deliberately start a war to obtain pills, leading the Eastern Continent cultivators into battle against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court. He decided to observe the situation further. If the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court proved to be foolish, then he would have no choice but to lead the righteous path of the Eastern Continent to eliminate this menace!

After Qing Nü obtained the alchemy knowledge contained within the two Dao Fruits, she felt that her previous knowledge system still had many gaps. Coupled with the severe depletion of her spiritual consciousness, she hastily went into seclusion for cultivation. This left Chen Mobai, who had originally intended to get intimate with her, slightly disappointed. With no other option, he returned to the Immortal Sect with a slight trace of irritation.

In the Yu Ping Minor Realm, Yuan Xu had also fully refined and absorbed the Dao Fruit after a month of cultivation. "True Lord, the pill formula I obtained is called the Startling Spirit Condensing Pill. If cultivators take it, it can provide half the effect of the Startling Spirit Melody and is a pill used by the Pill Cauldron Sect to aid in Soul Transformation. If combined with the two pill formulas you asked me to simulate and adjust, the chance of Soul Transformation could increase to an estimated thirty percent!" Yuan Xu opened his eyes and reported with an excited expression. Because Chen Mobai had previously mentioned that the Heavenly Spirit Pill and True Sacred Spirit Pill he asked him to study belonged to the Pill Cauldron Sect, Yuan Xu was not surprised to discover the Startling Spirit Condensing Pill this time. He even theorized that these three pill formulas formed a set, similar to the three spirit medicines for Nascent Soul formation.

Hearing Yuan Xu's words, Chen Mobai was slightly startled. He had never imagined that there would truly be a pill formula on the Pill Cauldron Jade Tree that aided in Soul Transformation. Thinking about it this way, the Wuqi lineage's heritage was indeed the deepest among the Four Great Dao Academies. At this point, Yuan Xu had already transcribed the pill formula. Many of the medicinal ingredients listed were unheard of in the Immortal Sect, evidently only available at the White Crane Daoist Temple or the Central Daoist Temple of the Purple Heavens Galaxy.

"Then you'll have to work hard to study and adjust it alongside the previous two pill formulas. This will be an unparalleled achievement for the Immortal Sect." Chen Mobai was also very pleased after reading it. If this pill formula could be successfully modified, the Immortal Sect would essentially never lack Soul Transformation cultivators in the future. Coincidentally, even with his resource support, Yan Bingxuan and Meng Huang'er would likely only reach the Nascent Soul stage at most. But with this pill formula, they would have some hope of achieving Soul Transformation. As for the Five Elements Sect, with this, along with the Five Elements Dao Fruits, Qing Nü, Zhuo Ming, Yin Qingmei, Mo Douguang, and others might truly be able to help the Five Elements Sect assemble five great Soul Transformation cultivators, each corresponding to a Five Element attribute! The five-colored immortal seeds that Patriarch Hunyuan had dreamed of might just refer to this. In Chen Mobai's view, only the Soul Transformation realm deserved the title of "Immortal."
