Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"Great!" Mu Xue smiled. "This way, I can spend a lot more time on my cultivation."

"Tee-hee, Ling Fei, thank you." Huang Xiaoman also seemed rather excited.

After all, obtaining profound Martial Arts in the Outer Sect was incredibly difficult.

Even cultivating in a Cultivation Room required a certain amount of Merit Points.

It was simply impossible for ordinary people to cultivate for extended periods.

That's why, after six months, they were still only in the Early Stage of Celestial Spirit Realm.

But now that they were at Ling Fei's place, things would be different.

"Don't mention it. If you run into any difficulties with your Martial Arts in the future, feel free to come discuss them with me," Ling Fei said with a smile.

Having already condensed a Cold Dao Mystical Seed, Ling Fei's insight into Martial Arts had surpassed that of ordinary Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivators. He was more than qualified to guide Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman.

"You'd better not go back on your word, then." Mu Xue's smile was full of charm. She had a bold and forthright nature; if she had a question, she certainly wouldn't be shy about asking.

After chatting for a while longer, Ling Fei got Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman settled in.

...

After familiarizing themselves with their new surroundings, Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue went to the Cultivation Room.

"The Gang Qi is so dense!" Both of them were ecstatic upon entering the Cultivation Room.

The concentration of Gang Qi here far surpassed that of the Cultivation Rooms in the Outer Sect!

'With an environment like this, I can definitely break through to the Primordial Pill Realm.' Now, both Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman were filled with confidence.

For them, reaching the Primordial Pill Realm would be a remarkable achievement.

After all, in the Great Tang Empire, a Primordial Pill Realm cultivator was considered a regional powerhouse.

"Just focus on your cultivation here," Ling Fei said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman's faces were filled with gratitude.

Ling Fei then checked on some medicinal herbs before heading to the Alchemy Room.

He had his own private Alchemy Room, which was even equipped with a source of Earth Fire.

But now that Ling Fei had mastered Celestial Fire, he naturally had no use for Earth Fire.

'I'll try using the Celestial Fire for alchemy first.' Ling Fei walked over to the Alchemy Furnace, intending to refine pills with his Celestial Fire.

When ordinary people used Earth Fire for alchemy, it not only exhausted their Heart Spirit, but they also couldn't achieve perfect control.

Even Ling Fei would feel fatigued if he were to use Earth Fire for alchemy now.

FWOOSH!

The Celestial Fire surged into the furnace, and he began refining a Celestial Essence Pill.

The ingredients went into the furnace, and the fire danced to his will. Ling Fei controlled the temperature fluctuations with flawless precision.

The temperature of the Celestial Fire responded perfectly to Ling Fei's Heart Spirit.

As a result, refining this elixir felt remarkably easy.

'Celestial Fire really is much stronger than Earth Fire.' After the pill was complete, Ling Fei took it out. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he examined the elixir's quality.

He had refined its color and medicinal properties to perfection.

This was, without a doubt, a top-grade elixir.

Ling Fei continued to practice alchemy with his Celestial Fire. His control over it grew more and more proficient, and the process of refining elixirs became noticeably easier than before.

'I can start learning to refine two pills in one batch.'

Refining two pills in one batch meant creating two elixirs simultaneously.

This technique demanded an extremely high level of Control Power from an Alchemist.

After mastering two pills per batch came multiple pills.

This was an essential skill for every Alchemist.

After all, a Sect required tens of thousands of elixirs. If they were refined one at a time, how many batches would it take to meet the demand?

Ling Fei practiced relentlessly, and his Control Power gradually improved.

From two pills per batch, to three, and finally, he could produce nine pills at once!

Half a month slipped by.

With the legacy of the Pill King Yuan Feng, Ling Fei's progress was incredibly smooth. In just half a month, he could already refine nine elixirs in a single batch.

Such rapid progress was a sight seen perhaps once in a millennium in the Lingyun Sect.

Many Pill Masters couldn't reach this stage even after years of practice.

It required immense Soul Control Power.

The strength of Ling Fei's soul had already reached the level of Transforming Essence into Gang; he was far beyond ordinary people.

If he were to advance further, once his Soul Power transformed into Soul Liquid, he would become even more formidable.

Therefore, Ling Fei's refining speed was simply incomparable to that of an ordinary person.

"Nine pills per batch. I'm now a qualified Basic Level Alchemist. The next step is to become an Entry Grade Alchemist," Ling Fei murmured.

'But becoming an Entry Grade Alchemist isn't that easy. Many Alchemists can't reach this level even after ten years of practice,' Ling Fei thought. 'I don't need to be too anxious right now. Everything has to wait until I solidify my Primordial Pill and become a Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator.'

This was because becoming an Entry Grade Alchemist also required a certain level of insight to reach that Realm.

It wasn't a Realm he could reach just by willing it.

It required experience and accumulation.

Having made progress in alchemy, he prepared to continue his cultivation toward Solidifying Pill.

After leaving the Alchemy Room, Ling Fei went to the Cultivation Room.

He had already completed the process of Condensing Gang and Liquid. The next step was to accumulate more Primordial Liquid and then solidify his Primordial Pill.

However, this required a vast amount of Primordial Liquid.

It required an immense amount of Dragon Gang Qi. Without enough Essence Qi, successfully Solidifying Pill was impossible.

This was why, in the Great Tang Empire, few could successfully solidify their pill by the age of twenty.

However, Ling Fei's speed at absorbing Heaven and Earth Gang Qi was dozens of times faster than others. The two couldn't even be compared.

Furthermore, very few people in the entire Lingyun Sect cultivated with the Dragon Gang Qi that Ling Fei absorbed, so he had a plentiful supply for his own cultivation.

As such, Ling Fei didn't have to worry about his supply of Dragon Gang Qi running out.

...

「One month later.」

Ling Fei's Dantian was filled to the brim with Primordial Liquid.

His meridians had long since been saturated with it as well.

'The Primordial Liquid is at its peak. The next step is Solidifying Pill.'

Once the Primordial Liquid in his meridians was full, Ling Fei focused his Heart Spirit and began the process of Solidifying Pill.

"Gang Qi turns to liquid, allowing one's Heart Spirit to merge with it. A Primordial Pill, on the other hand, is the condensation of that liquid into a pill. A person's Heart Spirit is contained within the Primordial Liquid. As the Primordial Liquid condenses, it causes the Heart Spirit to condense as well, eventually giving birth to Divine Sense. Once the Divine Sense is born, it can be released to perceive the outside world," Ling Fei murmured.

This was the essence of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Of course, because he cultivated the True Dragon Divinity Transformation Technique, Ling Fei had already formed his Divine Sense long ago. It was now strong enough to perceive objects within a ten-thousand-meter radius.

The strength of his Divine Sense even surpassed that of a typical Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator.

However, his comprehension of the Mystical of Heaven and Earth was still somewhat lacking.

Ling Fei's Heart Spirit stirred. The Primordial Liquid continuously condensed as his Cultivation Technique operated, as if it were being compressed, causing the liquid to grow increasingly viscous.

However, as the Primordial Liquid condensed, the portion of his Heart Spirit that had merged with it entered a profoundly mystical state.

He felt as though he were in a hazy, nebulous space. This space was condensing, preparing to evolve into its own heaven and earth and give birth to life.

That life, of course, was his Divine Sense.

"A nebulous space, evolving into a world, giving birth to Spiritual Sense... is this the process of Solidifying Pill?" Ling Fei murmured to himself. His Heart Spirit was completely immersed in the sensation. It was an experience that was impossible to describe in words, something one had to feel for themselves.

This was why, beyond the Primordial Pill Realm, comprehension became paramount. Even if countless experts in the Sect had left behind their experiences, no one could ascend to the heavens in a single step and easily solidify a Primordial Pill. Everything depended on one's personal insight; without sufficient aptitude, it was simply impossible to succeed.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

A month had now passed since Ling Fei's return from the Dongze Ruins, meaning he had been in the Lingyun Sect for a full seven months.

Upon closer inspection, the Primordial Liquid in Ling Fei's Dantian had already condensed, forming the embryonic shape of a pill.

Within this embryonic Primordial Pill, Ling Fei's condensed Heart Spirit was becoming increasingly distinct. Although it still couldn't compare to the Divine Sense already in his sea of consciousness, his level of comprehension was far beyond what it was before. He had clearly approached the level of insight characteristic of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Insight!

An elevation of his state of mind.
