Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"The Mystical of the Sword is too tyrannical. The moment one consumes the pill, its Sword Intent surges sky-high. Even Profound Pill Realm Cultivators who practice the Sword Dao would find it hard to withstand the power of this Sword Pattern. You must emphasize the Mystical and downplay the sword's raw power." After the Elixir was consumed, Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun immediately pointed out the shortcomings of Ling Fei's creation.

Successfully refining the elixir was the first step.

The next step was to control the elixir's power, making it consumable for the majority of people.

Only an elixir like that could be considered a true Upper Grade Spirit Pill.

"Mm." With that, Ling Fei continued to practice his alchemy.

In truth, he had already sensed the shortcomings of imprinting the Sword Pattern during the refinement process.

His previous failures were all because the power within the Sword Pattern had destroyed the elixirs.

He had only succeeded this time by deliberately suppressing that power.

'I've succeeded in refining it. Now, I just have to learn how to control the strength of the Mystical.' Ling Fei thought to himself and continued his alchemy practice.

Once, twice…

Ling Fei practiced continuously.

Finally, after half a month, Ling Fei had completely mastered the strength of the Mystical, becoming a qualified Second Grade Alchemist.

"Haha! To become a qualified Second Grade Alchemist in such a short time… you truly are an Alchemy and Martial Genius!" Master Yuan Lang laughed heartily.

"There's only one month left until the Southern Wilderness inter-sect tournament. This is the perfect opportunity to make the cultivators from every sect see you in a new light. As long as you display this level of alchemy talent, I believe the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple will be even more firm in their alliance with our Lingyun Sect." Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun was also ecstatic.

An eighteen-year-old Second Grade Alchemist… In the entire history of the Southern Wilderness, he was the first!

"The inter-sect tournament." Ling Fei's gaze hardened as he spoke, enunciating each word. "I will make the elders of every sect see me in a completely new light."

Although he was called an alchemy genius, Ling Fei knew that many people still looked down on him.

After all, potential is meaningless until it's realized. No one knows what the future holds.

This was also why the people from Thousand Lakes Mountain, Dongze Sect, and Wind Watching Cliff chose to ally with the Beiming Sword Sect.

Otherwise, they would never dare to so easily offend the Lingyun Sect.

So if Ling Fei were to be outshone by others in this tournament, the expectations the various sects had for him would naturally diminish.

In that case, the Lingyun Sect and even Ling Fei himself would be put in a difficult position.

That was why Ling Fei didn't dare to be complacent about the Alchemy Dao.

Even Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun and the others were a little nervous.

But now Ling Fei had refined a Second Grade Spirit Pill. Among his peers, who could possibly compare?

This feat alone was enough to make him highly sought after by the experts of every sect.

That was why Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun and Master Yuan Lang seemed so happy.

After some pleasantries, Ling Fei bid farewell to Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun and the others.

"Mu Xue! Xiaoman! Come over, I brought some Elixirs for you," Ling Fei called out upon returning to his residence.

He planned to give the elixirs he had refined over the past few days to the two of them.

The two of them also cultivated the Sword Dao.

"Elixirs!" Hearing this, the two were delighted.

"These are Second Grade Spirit Pills. I specifically asked Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun for them for you. These elixirs contain Sword Dao Mystical; take your time to comprehend it." Ling Fei handed two elixirs to each of them, but he didn't say that he had refined them himself.

"Second Grade Spirit Pills! These are the kind of Spirit Pills ordinary people could only dream of getting!"

"I heard that Spirit Pills are extremely rare in the markets of the Southern Wilderness. A single one costs at least ten thousand Elemental Crystal Stones!"

Holding the Elixir, which was marked with two Inscriptions, Mu Xue was visibly thrilled.

A single Spirit Pill cost close to ten thousand Elemental Crystal Stones. A Second Grade Spirit Pill must start at several tens of thousands!

Elemental Crystal Stones…

This was the common currency within the Martial Arts World.

At the same time, Elemental Crystal Stones also contained dense Essence Qi and could be used as a supplement when Essence Qi was scarce, making them extremely precious.

In the Lingyun Sect, Inner Sect Disciples were given Elemental Crystal Stones, but not in large quantities.

Because Ling Fei primarily cultivated Dragon Qi, and Elemental Crystal Stones containing Dragon Qi are extremely rare in the Southern Wilderness, he didn't have any spare Elemental Crystal Stones of his own.

But if one were to go out on a long training expedition, it would still be best to have some spare Elemental Crystal Stones.

"Are you really just giving these Elixirs to us?" Holding the two Elixirs, Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman were very excited.

"Is it really such a big deal? They're just two Elixirs," Ling Fei said with a smile. "I'm an Alchemist. Once I become more powerful, do you think I'll ever be short on Elixirs?"

Ling Fei was constantly experimenting and improving his Alchemy Technique, refining an untold number of elixirs in the process. To him, it truly wasn't a big deal.

"Thanks," Huang Xiaoman said, looking up.

"Don't be so formal with me," Ling Fei said, rolling his eyes at Huang Xiaoman.

"Hehe, it's really nice to have a junior brother who's an Alchemist," Mu Xue beamed.

"Hurry up and take the Elixirs. Let's see the effect," Ling Fei said.

He was also very curious to see how effective the elixirs he had refined were.

"Okay!" Soon, the two went to a Cultivation Room and took the elixirs.

As the Elixir entered their mouths, pure Essence Qi surged into their bodies, continuously flowing inward to be absorbed by their Primordial Pills.

Then, the Sword Pattern on it flickered, and a wave of Sword Intent spread out.

"What a dense Sword Intent!" When this Sword Intent spread, both of them were shocked.

"I feel like I'm wrapped in a world of Sword Intent." Mu Xue's Heart Spirit stirred with excitement, and she couldn't help but immerse her consciousness in the feeling.

Because that Sword Intent touched her soul, giving her what felt like a new understanding of the Sword Dao.

...

Two full days passed before the two of them emerged from seclusion.

After emerging, their demeanors had clearly changed. When their gazes shifted, there was a faint hint of a Swordsmanship Master's air about them.

"So, how was it!" Seeing them emerge, Ling Fei smiled.

"This Second Grade Spirit Pill is too amazing! It was like I was immersed in a world of the Sword Dao."

"The Sword Dao Mystical within was mesmerizing. We both gained new insights," Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue explained.

"But it's a pity. The Sword Dao Mystical doesn't last long. If only it could be imprinted in my mind like a Visualization Image," Huang Xiaoman said with a look of regret.

If that were the case, then she could continuously comprehend the Mystical within.

"An Elixir like that would probably be priceless!" Mu Xue was also full of anticipation.

If it were really like that, it wouldn't be an Elixir anymore; it would practically be a Sword Manual.

"A Visualization Image?" Ling Fei rolled his eyes.

That was not a technique an ordinary Alchemist possessed!

At least, he didn't have that ability right now.

"But there will be, in the future!" Ling Fei said, his gaze firming as he saw their hopeful expressions.

Perhaps he couldn't refine that kind of Spirit Pill right now.

But given time, once his strength increased, refining such an Elixir wouldn't be impossible.

"I believe you'll definitely become an Alchemy Master in the future," Huang Xiaoman said, looking up with great conviction.

Ling Fei smiled. In fact, the elixirs he had given Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue were the very ones he had refined himself.

He had them take the elixirs this time not only to help them improve their Cultivation but also to test the effectiveness of the elixirs he had refined.

Now that it had been verified, he could rest easy.

'The Mystical of Martial Arts can be imprinted on an Elixir… what about other Mysticals?' A new idea suddenly struck Ling Fei.

'Like… the Mystical within the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern?!' An inexplicable excitement surged through him at the thought.

The Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern could clear one's Heart Spirit, unlock wisdom, and improve one's innate talent.

If he could refine such an Elixir, how great would its value be?

After all, although ordinary elixirs could help one improve their Cultivation, their effects were not long-lasting.

But if a Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern could open one's mind and improve one's comprehension, future cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

With enough talent, one wouldn't need to rely so heavily on elixirs to achieve breakthroughs.

Just like the Golden Eagle. After Ling Fei used the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern to open its mind, its cultivation progress clearly surpassed that of other birds.

'I can give it a try.' Ling Fei was filled with anticipation.

After bidding farewell to Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue, he set about this task.

First, Ling Fei entered a Cultivation Room. With a thought from his Heart Spirit, the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern appeared.

This was an extremely complex Dao Pattern, not something Ling Fei's Mystical Technique Pattern could compare to.

This Dao Pattern seemed as if it were sketched from the very patterns of heaven and earth. No matter how Ling Fei tried to comprehend it, he was unable to clarify its structure or the principles behind it.

It surpassed the patterns of the Mystical of Martial Arts.

'Then how am I supposed to imprint this Spirit Awakening Pattern onto an Elixir?' Ling Fei sank into deep thought.

'Let's see if I can stimulate the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern a bit.' With a mental command, Ling Fei prodded the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern imprinted in his mind.

When his Heart Spirit touched the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern, the Dao Pattern rippled.

Within these ripples, strands of patterns flowed.

These patterns were very mysterious, like the most exquisite patterns in all of heaven and earth.

Sensing them carefully, Ling Fei felt that these patterns could clear one's Heart Spirit.

'First, I'll try to gather these patterns.' With a mental command, Ling Fei attempted to guide them.

At first, the patterns dispersed upon contact, but after Ling Fei tried again and again, he finally managed to condense some complete patterns.

After confirming he could completely control these Dao Patterns, he went to Medicine Peak to perform alchemy.

This time, he came here alone.

Because this Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern was his secret, he naturally wouldn't let anyone else know.

Not even Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun.

The alchemy began. The patterns emanating from the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern were drawn out by Ling Fei, forming a single pattern that was imprinted on the Elixir.

The Inscription Pattern also contained the Mystical of Spirit Awakening. Although it wasn't complete, it still possessed some of its essence.

'But I wonder what the effects will be?' Ling Fei mused.

However, he didn't leave. He continued to refine more pills to better master the Mystical Technique Pattern that emanated from the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern.

After refining the elixirs, Ling Fei returned to his own mountain peak and found several Celestial Spirit Realm Profound Eagles.

Then, he took out the elixirs and gave one to each of the four Profound Eagles.

The elixirs were from his first batch, his second batch, and so on.

With each refinement, his control over the Spirit Awakening Dao Pattern became more perfect, so the elixirs naturally got better.

All that was left now was to verify the elixirs' effects.

These Profound Eagles were all at the Celestial Spirit Realm. They had some strength and were also very fierce.

When Ling Fei had captured them, they were all incomparably ferocious, but they had become docile only due to his overwhelming strength.

But it was obvious that these Profound Eagles were full of wildness and lacked a certain spark of intelligence.

'Now to see the effects of this Elixir.' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened, and he fed the elixirs to each of the four Profound Eagles.

As the elixirs entered their mouths, a rich Medicinal Qi permeated their bodies. Soon, the Profound Eagles quieted down, losing their ferocity.

After all, they were capable of cultivation, so their Spiritual Wisdom was greater than that of ordinary Profound Eagles. They naturally understood the benefits this Elixir would bring.

Soon, the Spirit Awakening Inscription Pattern dissolved and entered their minds.

In that instant, the eyes of the several Profound Eagles flashed with alarm.

But the next moment, they closed their eyes as if immersed in a beautiful environment, enjoying it to the fullest.

'It's working?' Joy bloomed in Ling Fei's heart.
