Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

"What a waste of a heavenly gift!"

Zhao Qi from the Law Enforcement Hall stood up abruptly, eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is it possible? How could he possibly have a Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasure!"

His magical power was profound and refined, with deep reserves and comprehensive preparation, yet now, just because he was missing a Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasure, he saw no hope of forming a True Pill within the Sect.

But this outsider, who rose through Pill Medicine like Li Ji’an, actually possessed a Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasure.

How could he balance this mentally?

If he had this Spirit Treasure, he was confident he could guarantee a True Pill!

He immediately looked towards the Sect’s main peak.

However, in an instant, he calmed down: "It couldn’t be provided by the Supreme Elder for him, absolutely not!"

"It’s Xiao Changfeng!"

"It’s done! It’s done! Haha, Xiaoli’s Fake Pill is certain to be completed!" Master Jade Pill, who was beginning to think about how to speak to his two disciples, suddenly beamed upon seeing the surging clouds.

"Haha, I knew Master would definitely succeed in forming a Pill!" Xu Xiaochun was overjoyed, dancing with excitement.

Guo Wanzhi bit her lower lip tightly, crying tears of joy, pressing her hands against her chest, and also let out a long breath.

Seven days later, the rainbow clouds expanded slowly from four miles to five miles.

However, this process was always slow, not like the continuous surge during Xiao Changfeng’s time.

Inside the Cave Mansion, Li Ji’an’s entire body was like a fire, his skin turning crimson red.

Inside his Dantian, one could clearly see a blazing sphere of highly compressed, dazzling crystalline particles spinning rapidly.

His eyes were shut tight, holding a piece of Earth Source Essence, contemplating.

The efficacy of the Crystal Condensing Pill exceeded his expectations. Originally, with his gathered Spiritual Qi from the first stage, he thought refining three miles of magical power clouds in a short time was already impressive.

Yet it finally reached five miles.

This extent was already enough to form a Fake Pill.

Nonetheless, the Earth Source Essence he planned to consume now posed a dilemma.

If the Crystal Condensing Pill only reached three miles of clouds, he would unhesitatingly consume the Earth Source Essence to at least ensure a Fake Pill.

But now, the magical power was already enough to guarantee a Fake Pill. Whether it could be completed depended on the subsequent pill condensation and purification.

Moreover, consuming the Earth Source Essence might not even reach the threshold for a True Pill.

And he couldn’t be sure if the Protective Vein Pill he consumed could withstand the impact of the Earth Source Essence, especially since his Dantian was already under immense pressure.

Another point, if he consumed the Earth Source Essence now, it would almost openly reveal to everyone that he possessed two Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasures.

With his current status, obtaining ordinary opportunities might not attract much greed, but having a Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasure would be somewhat risky.

After all, anyone would think one Core Formation Spirit Treasure might be a gift from Xiao Changfeng because, during Xiao Changfeng’s Core Formation, besides the Superior Core Formation Spirit Treasure gifted by the Sect, there was another unknown one of higher quality.

Half a day later, under everyone’s gaze, the cloud mass did not change further. Soon, the magical power clouds formed a sky-reaching funnel, rapidly pouring down towards the Cave Mansion below.

And Li Ji’an finally arrived at the third stage of Core Formation: Purification Pill!

This stage involves removing the impurities from the Solid-state Pill and further compressing the Pill to make it more compact.

Moreover, at this stage, the Spirit Root melds into the Pill, changing the absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from relying on the Spirit Root to relying on the Pill.

Once the Pill is completed, the Spirit Root will disappear.

The future path of cultivation will no longer depend on the innate Spirit Root for absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but on the quality of the Refined Pill.
