Chapter 63 The Refining of the Breakthrough Pill

In front of the Cauldron, Chen Li grabbed a five-hundred-year-old mirror-breaking spirit grass, began controlling the earth vein fire, formed a pill seal, and tossed this spirit grass into the Cauldron.

Seeing that it was almost refined, he tossed in several hundred-year-old auxiliary spirit grasses, then controlled the fire, formed a seal, and fused the medicinal herbs.

An hour later, the medicinal herbs were almost fused, and Chen Li began forming the Dharma Art for shaping the pill.

A moment later, pill fragrance emanated from the Cauldron, and two dark, lustrous, cyan mirror-breaking pills appeared inside. The earth vein fire was performing the final strengthening and refining to condense the medicinal power.

"Two Medium Grade mirror-breaking pills!" Chen Li showed joy. Achieving a full furnace of pills was not easy! This was a high-level Medicinal Pill for the Foundation Establishment Realm. One mirror-breaking pill could significantly increase cultivation, and the market price started at ten thousand Spirit Stones each.

Chen Li put away these two mirror-breaking pills and continued refining the next furnace.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Chen Li refined furnace after furnace, tirelessly. The Old Ancestor of Black Magpie Mountain was terrifying even when engaging in internal competition.

...

Outside the Immortal Cave, Black Magpie Mountain was full of spring vitality. At the Dao Seeking Platform, Chen Songyan and Chen Songxuan were sparring.

"Third Brother, I, who am at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, still can't beat you, who are at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. Second Brother is just not suited for killing!"

Chen Songxuan laughed, "Haha, Second Brother, if you use your full cultivation, I definitely can't win."

"Haha, Third Brother is humble again... By the way, Third Brother, what are we eating tonight?"

"Eating chicken!"

"Eating chicken again?"

...

Inside Concentric Heart Hall, Chen Songli and Zhu Lingyue were studying together, engraving a set of Third-Rank Formation patterns.

"Mother, yours seems incorrectly engraved. The Formation pattern circuit path seems a bit off?"

"Is that so? Let me see." After Zhu Lingyue checked, she praised, "Songli, you are truly amazing; your observation is so detailed."

"Hehe, we improve together."

"Your talent is really good, just like your father's." Zhu Lingyue was not jealous; she was very happy, as her own talent was slightly below average.

"Mother, I saw the warehouse bought a batch of Third-Rank Formation Materials. Let's make them together and check each other's work."

"That works. But your mother can't compare to your engraving speed, haha~"

Chen Songmei was playing with the Puppet toy that her Third Brother made for her in the room, happily playing by herself, occasionally taking snacks from her pocket and putting them into her mouth.

In the spiritual field outside the hall, Brother Ox walked around watching the Alchemy operation for the grain dispelling pill. However, his cultivation had recently approached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and he would only need to swallow a few bottles of qi overflowing pill to achieve a Breakthrough.

Brother Ox planned to conduct Alchemy operations after achieving the Qi Refining Sixth Layer. The Niu Realm had its own preparations for Alchemy.

Inside Chen Songxiao's Immortal Cave, many empty bottles of qi overflowing pill were scattered on the ground. Chen Songxiao sat cross-legged, refining the qi overflowing pill he had just swallowed. He was steadily increasing his cultivation.

...

A month passed, and nothing unusual happened at Black Magpie Mountain.

The Boundless Forest fell into a deathly silence. Many Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were searching for Opportunities near the very edge, not daring to venture deep.

The Golden Core Luo Family and the Golden Core Yang Family reduced the tax contributions owed by those Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans that had been tricked to death. Furthermore, the Golden Core Luo Family announced that the Luo Family was on high alert, and the Golden Core Old Ancestor was in seclusion and not seeing guests.

In Yuanwu Prefecture, the Lu Family and the Zhu Family jointly took over Maan Prefecture, where the Foundation Establishment Cultivators had been wiped out.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan within the Prefecture who went to the Boundless Forest to hunt beasts had all disappeared. They hadn't returned for so many days; they were definitely the batch of Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were tricked to death.

After taking over, the Qi Refining Immortal Clan within the Prefecture watched the two Foundation Establishments join forces and were powerless to resist. Both families received a considerable amount of tribute.

Time flew by, and another month passed since Chen Li refined the mirror-breaking pill.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Chen Li stopped Alchemy. There were still several hundred five-hundred-year-old mirror-breaking grasses; he simply couldn't finish refining them all. Chen Li checked the harvest from this refining session.

In two months, he refined a total of one hundred and sixty mirror-breaking pills. There were only about fifty High Grade ones; most of the rest were Medium Grade, and a small portion, thirty-something pills, were Low Grade.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Chen Li retracted the earth vein fire from the Cauldron, changed the Formation Materials for the watering System of the Great Sun Seed Jade, harvested the five hundred one-hundred-year-old qi overflowing grasses that had been hastened to ripen over fifty days, and planted another crop.

Chen Li emerged from seclusion and gave these five hundred one-hundred-year-old qi overflowing grasses to Zhu Lingyue, who tacitly accepted them.

Chen Li began adjusting his physical and mental state, preparing for secluded cultivation to achieve a Breakthrough. On this day, Chen Songli came to Zizai Pavilion.

"Father, I want to build a structure called the Formation Comprehensive Building. I want to Move all the Teleportation Arrays into this Formation, establish better teleportation rules, and this building can also incorporate the warning Formation for unified management."

Chen Li strongly supported this, saying eight words: 'Dare to try, dare to act.'

Chen Songli told him many details afterward. Chen Li reviewed all the details one by one and also offered some opinions.

After she left, Chen Songxuan also came to Zizai Pavilion, expressing his desire to properly plan the architecture of Black Magpie Mountain.

Chen Li stated, 'Dare to try, dare to act.'

...

A month later, Chen Li adjusted his body, mind, and emotions to their best state and entered the Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Chen Li took out a High Grade mirror-breaking pill, smelled the pill fragrance a few times, and then put it into his mouth.

Inside his body, Chen Li immediately felt a tyrannical medicinal power. The spiritual energy contained in the mirror-breaking pill instantly released, impacting his Meridians everywhere.

Chen Li immediately sat cross-legged and circulated his magic power to absorb this tyrannical medicinal Qi.

Several days later, Chen Li opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"It actually takes seven or eight days to refine one High Grade mirror-breaking pill; it is truly tyrannical. My cultivation has increased a little."

Chen Li was very expectant, wondering how many pills it would take to advance to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, especially since he had Five Spiritual Roots.

He had heard that those Prodigies with Heavenly Spiritual Roots only needed five or six mirror-breaking pills to break through one Realm; he couldn't help but envy them.

Chen Li continued to sit cross-legged in meditation, took out another High Grade mirror-breaking pill, and continued to consume it. The familiar feeling returned, and Chen Li began refining the medicinal power for his own cultivation again.

Time waits for no man; days passed, and Chen Li's Immortal Cave remained closed off.

Within Black Magpie Mountain, on this day, Chen Songxiao emerged from seclusion. He had broken through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

At the Dao Seeking Platform, Chen Songxiao and Chen Songli were sparring. Chen Songli was currently at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer Perfection. Chen Songxiao, who came out to relax, encountered Chen Songli refining a sword and wanted to know how his killing Move was after breaking through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

"Big Sister, take this Move."

Chen Songli smiled, "Fourth Brother, just use your Moves to your heart's content."

Half an hour later, the battered Chen Songxiao finally understood the feeling his Second Brother had when he was abused. Even though he was one level higher in Realm, he couldn't see the slightest advantage in cultivation during the fight; he was only passively taking hits!

He thought to himself that perhaps only his Third Brother could fight his Big Sister evenly.

"Big Sister, I won't compete with you anymore. You are too formidable; I can't compare!" Chen Songxiao conceded.

"Haha, Fourth Brother, you still need to strengthen this. Your killing Move is about the same as Second Brother's."

Chen Songxiao smiled bitterly. He looked at his Big Sister and seemed to see Chen Li's shadow. The world of a Genius was terrifying!

The two siblings then discussed some insights on Cultivation together. Chen Songxiao also asked many questions about the cultivation of the Qi Concealment Art, and Chen Songli answered them one by one.

Inside the Great Sun Seed Jade Immortal Cave, Chen Li had already swallowed twenty-five High Grade mirror-breaking pills.

His current Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation had already reached Perfection. The medicinal power refined afterward required increasingly longer times; the membrane barrier was very strong.

Chen Li suppressed the urge to leave seclusion and pushed forward with all his might. He stabilized his state of mind again and adjusted his breath.

One day later, he took out another High Grade mirror-breaking pill and swallowed it.
