Chapter 368: Chapter 201: Refining the Wind-Thunder Element_i

Translator: 549690339

During the second year of making golden cores, Lin Yi stopped following the regular alchemy routine. This was because his Dantian was already accustomed to the scorching of the Dan fire, and he no longer felt any pain.

Therefore, after informing the Pill Immortal Master, he began refining two lumps of spiritual liquid simultaneously. Each lump of spiritual liquid was refined under the heat of a wisp of Dan fire, and his focus was more intense than before.

The scorching of the two wisp of Dan fire was a tremendous test for the Dantian. Fortunately, the Dantian remained sturdy and managed to bear it, but it also brought him a greater feeling of pain than before.

Lin Yi believed that refining two lumps of spiritual liquid within the Dantian at the same time should be the limit. If there were any more, he wasn’t sure if his spiritual concentration could bear it, and it would likely cause problems with his Dantian.

After enduring the pain for nine days, he successfully refined two lumps of spiritual liquid for the first time and his face broke into a happy smile. By doing this, he could cut his cultivation time in half.

The remaining sixty-odd lumps of spiritual liquid only needed another year to be completely refined.

“Master, I succeeded. I refined two lumps of spiritual liquid at a time,” Lin Yi said, his face filled with joy.

Zhang Dao Xuan sighed deeply, “You truly are a genius born from an ordinary man, surpassing the ordinary. When I was making golden cores before, I didn’t dare to refine two lumps at the same time. The golden Dantian built by the Creation Method must be very powerful.”

“Master, this little progress is not necessarily better than ordinary. I still need to work hard and continue refining.” Lin Yi said with a smile, and then continued to refine the spiritual liquid, still refining two lumps at a time.

Time flew by, and another year quickly passed. All the spiritual liquid that his Foundation Building Tenth Layer body possessed was completely refined and turned into a jelly-like substance, distributed around the Dantian.

After complete refining, these jelly-like spiritual liquids could be directly fused together. However, in order to condense into a pill, they need to be further refined and fused under the effect of Dan fire.

Therefore, he used the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique, controlling these pill liquids, distributing them in different places, and preventing them from fusing now.

The power of thunder and lightning, which originally existed in the spiritual liquid, was completely separated from the spiritual liquid and wandered within the Dantian.

After refining all the spiritual liquid in his body, Lin Yi’s gaze inevitably fell on these thunder and lightning elements. His Five Thunder Magic Technique was already of Great Perfect Level, so the number of thunder and lightning elements accumulated in his body was quite large.

Before refining the thunder and lightning, he moved all one hundred lump of spiritual liquid to the edge of the Dantian, to prevent them from being affected by the thunder and lightning elements.

Whether it was wind or thunder, both were powerful destructive elements in nature. When refining, one must be careful. A failed refinement is not as harmful as damaging the Dantian, which would result in all efforts being wasted.

In order to minimise the risk of refining thunder and lightning, Lin Yi chose to use the Minor Blessing State. Through the protection of luck, the risk would be reduced.

Thanks to the Evil Spirits given by his third senior brother Li Yuan Qing, he had received more than 20,000 virtue points. Adding to those he previously possessed, he now had a total of over 45,000 points.

He thought for a while and decided to use no more than 5,000 virtue points for refining the two elements of wind and lightning, sparing all the remaining 40,000 for the final Gold Core consolidation.

The refining of thunder element was fine, as cultivating Five Thunder Spells allowed it to enter the Dantian.

However, wind elements were a bit more troublesome. The Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind was a body refining technique that integrated wind into the body, tightly merging it with the body.

In other words, these wind elements did not pass through the body’s meridians, but were integrated directly into the body through the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind after they were drawn into the body.

This is why his body was becoming lighter and lighter and his perception of wind was becoming sharper and sharper.

Wind Transformation Technique, in the end, allows the body to completely achieve the state of wind, capable of merging with the wind.

These body-fused wind elements, although he could use them, it was difficult for him to easily separate them from the state of fusion with the body.

Of course, he could draw wind into the body again, bringing the wind element into the Dantian. However, that would introduce external elements, and not the ones possessed by his divine skills. Thus, it might fail to be used as a material in the final Gold Core fusion process.

After pondering a few days, Lin Yi decided to refine the thunder and lightning elements first and find a way to refine the body-fused wind elements later.

He gathered all the thunder and lightning elements in his body into a thunder ball. Unlike the spiritual liquid in his body, it was not like a gas either, it was purely thunder and lightning elements.

Therefore, it needed to be refined and turned into an alchemy material, for the final condensing fusion. This must be done because the previously unrefined thunder and lightning elements could not merge with the spiritual liquid, and would not be able to blend with the already refined spiritual liquid either.

Lin Yi separated a small lump of thunder element from the thunder ball, deciding to try refining it first without using the Minor Blessing State, to ensure that any risks would be within a controllable range.

After all, he didn’t know how much virtue points would be consumed in the subsequent Gold Core consolidation. He had to save wherever he could, just in case he fell short of a few hundred to a thousand points in the end.

Based on his estimation, over 20,000 virtue points should be enough. He only spent thousands of virtue points on evolving to the Foundation Building Tenth Layer and Zhi Ling’s awakening of the Lightning Mink Bloodline consumed only 10,000 virtue points.
