Afterward, he slowly opened his eyes and spoke to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Master, I am going to start trying to refine the thunder and lightning element. Please protect me.”
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and answered with a smile, “Alright, with me here, you will be safe.”
Feeling reassured, Lin Yi closed his eyes and focused. He began by incorporating the cloud of thunder and lightning element into the strings of the piano.
Through the piano strings, he could detect the subtle changes in the thunder and lightning during the refining process. Should any risks arise, he could instantly halt the refining process.
Next, through the piano strings, he manipulated the thunder and lightning, ensuring its stability. Once satisfied that there were no issues, a thought passed through his mind, and a strand of crimson-red fire pellet appeared underneath the element of Thunder and Lightning, beginning the refinement.
Unlike the very stable and calm spiritual liquid in his Dantian, the lightning element was extremely unstable. Even the lightning that had been brought into his body through the spell of Five Thunder, was no exception.
The moment the lightning element was subjected to refining under the fire pellet, it began to alter rapidly, as if it was about to explode and separate.
When Lin Yi sensed this through the piano strings, he quickly controlled the thunder and lightning, causing it to roll around evenly, to be uniformly refined by the fire. This helped the thunder and lightning to become somewhat stable.
However, during the subsequent refining process, the lightning again became unstable and dispersed like fireworks from its consolidated state.
Diverting his focus, he tried to control the lightning that burst out. However, much of the lightning struck the spiritual liquid at the edge of his Dantian and was directly repelled, giving him an idea. He controlled the other spiritual liquids to block the direction of the thunder and lightning.
In this manner, he quickly gained full control over the thunder and lightning. Even though his first attempt at refinement failed.
Nevertheless, the risk from this failure was within manageable limits. If he had refined a large amount of thunder and lightning directly, his Dantian would have inevitably been damaged.
From this experience, Lin Yi came up with a method to further reduce the risk from the lightning. That is, to envelop the lightning with jelly-like spiritual liquid. Even if the refining failed, the lightning would always be trapped within the spiritual liquid, unable to cause any harm to the Dantian.
Since the risk of refining thunder and lightning had been reduced to a controllable range, he decided not to use the Minor Blessing State.
He felt that the lightning that had been repelled by the spiritual liquid was quite likely due to the effect of the [Face Difficulties Head On] Lucky State.
Next, Lin Yi created a three-layered encirclement using one hundred clumps of spiritual liquid. The innermost layer used twenty clumps, the middle layer used thirty, and the outer layer used fifty.
The innermost circle was tightly packed, the spiritual liquids close to one another, in a state between blending and not blending.
There was a distance from the lightning so it would not be greatly affected by the fire pellet. Even if the fire’s heat acted on these spiritual liquids, there would be no change because they were already in a fully refined state.
According to the size of the thunderball, Lin Yi divided it into ten parts for refining. First, he opened the encirclement and let one piece of lightning fly in. Then he continued to refine it using the remaining fire pellet.
During this process, even if failures were experienced, the clumps of spiritual liquids would control the lightning, gather it back into a thunderball and continue to sustain the refining process.
Due to the instability of the lightning, the refining time was longer. Each part of the lightning required about fifteen days to refine.
Under the powerful effect of the fire pellet, the refined lightning turned into a liquid that flashed with electric lights, similar to the various materials transformed into pill liquid during alchemy.
Later, as his experience increased, the time was reduced to about ten days. In such a manner, after four months, Lin Yi successfully refined all the thunder and lightning in his body.
The ten pieces of thunder and lightning flickered with electric lights inside his Dantian. It looked beautiful.
By this time, nearly three years had passed of the five years he had planned for cultivating the Golden Core. Two years were spent refining the spiritual liquid within his body, five months were used to familiarize himself with the Spirit Level Alchemy Art, and the recent four months were used to refine the Thunder and Lightning element.
Next, the only thing left was to refine the wind element and solidify the final pill.
As for how to separate the wind elements that are tightly fused with his body, Lin Yi already had some ideas. He decided to ask his master for advice.
As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. The Pill Immortal Master is a veritable god of Alchemy Dao in the Cultivation World. If he doesn’t put his rich experience to use, and instead insists on making things hard for himself to prove his enlightenment, that’s just foolishness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile, “Master, the thunder and lightning brought into my body by the Five Thunder Spells I cultivated have been completely refined.”
Zhang Dao Xuan looked at Lin Yi and said encouragingly, “Being able to take you as a disciple is truly a blessing. You once mentioned that you have both wind and thunder elements in your body. Next, you’ll start refining the wind element, right?”
Lin Yi nodded, “Yes, but the wind element comes from the Body Refining Techniques I cultivate. These wind elements are already tightly integrated with my flesh, and I can’t separate them out individually.”
“However, I have some immature thoughts, and I hope Master can give me some guidance.”
He then detailed his idea of using the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique to string the wind elements in his body like a string of a violin and then use the alchemic flames to refine them out. Then, to use the violin string to control and fly them out.
Although he might have to start over with his years of Cultivation of the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, if his golden core has wind elements, then he would have an endless supply of wind power.
He could even potentially comprehend the power of wind-thunder element laws through this, which is much more significant than the Transforming Cloud into Wind Technique.
Integrating his own Dao into the golden core through refinement is considered a shortcut. Whether it is successful or not is an unknown factor.
After hearing Lin Yi’s thoughts, Zhang Dao Xuan mused for a moment and then said, “Your idea is good, but are you sure your physical body can withstand the refinement of the alchemical fire?”
“It should be able to. My body, refined with the power of the wind, is definitely more resilient than the inside of my dantian,” Lin Yi replied. Although he had not tried to put alchemical fire into his body yet, he thought it should not be a problem.
Regarding the alchemical fire awarded by his title, he could control it completely freely, even reducing it to the smallest fire element without any problem.
In this case, he could use the alchemical fire in the state of fire elements to refine the wind elements integrated into his body, according to the cultivation route of the Wind Transformation Technique, and then let them enter the Dantian.
“Good, then give it a try. However, there are some things you need to pay attention to…” Zhang Dao Xuan shared his insights with Lin Yi.
For example, how to use the Piano-refining Alchemy Technique to link the wind elements in the body, and how the alchemical fire should be used to refine the wind elements integrated into the body, and so on.
These insights were very beneficial to Lin Yi. He had a clear plan to refine the wind element. A few days later, Lin Yi first attempted to turn the alchemical fire into tiny fire elements and introduced them into his body.
At this point, Lin Yi did not skimp on using Virtue Points and used a Minor Blessing State to minimize the risk of refining the wind element.
After all, this is about introducing alchemical fire into the body, which is different from directly entering the dantian.
When he had the idea, the alchemical fire awarded by his title indeed turned into fire elements. Of course, this was not due to his power, but the effect of the Title System.
After entering his body, he began to refine these fire elements according to the cultivation route of the Wind Transformation Technique. Under the influence of the Alchemical Fire, the wind elements that originally fused tightly with his body became activated.
Under the influence of the wind elements, the effect of the alchemical fire seemed to have become stronger. Is this the phenomenon of wind assisting the fire?
Meanwhile, Lin Yi closely monitored the consumption of Virtue Points. If the consumption was too large, that meant the risk was high, and he would have to consider giving up integrating the wind elements, or go to the outside world to accumulate more Virtue Points.
