230: Golden elixir, spiritual realm!

Spirit Pill quality!

Lu Sheng's expression sharpened as he looked at Kong Yunchang.

Kong Yunchang lay on a rattan chair and slowly said, "The strength of Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists and Flying Sky Realm Martial Artists is actually determined by Spirit Pills."

"Among the Spirit Transformation Realm, one Spirit Pill represents one level. For Flying Sky Realm Martial Artists, ten Spirit Pills make one level. This is similar to the Qi and blood in the Qi Refining stage."

"But similarly, you should also know that even with the same quantity of Qi and blood, higher quality Qi and blood will always have an advantage."

"And this… is why Spirit Pill quality is so important!"

"Spirit Pill quality primarily depends on the patterns on a Spirit Transformation Martial Artist's Spirit Pill. The more patterns there are, the higher the quality of the Spirit Pill, and the more Spiritual Qi it contains."

"Among them, one pattern is the lowest, and nine patterns are the highest. Of course, it's rumored that some have condensed Spirit Pills with more than nine patterns, but whether it's true or not is impossible to verify. At least, none of us old folks in this generation have been able to do it, and no one from the younger generation has appeared either."

"The quality of the first Spirit Pill condensed by a Spirit Transformation Martial Artist is crucial. The quality of the first Spirit Pill also determines the quality of subsequent Spirit Pills. If a person's first Spirit Pill is only a one-pattern Spirit Pill, then, unless they have a certain Opportunity, all the Spirit Pills they condense in their future cultivation will be one-pattern!"

"So, this is why I say Spirit Pill quality is extremely important!"

"Spirit Pill quality is determined by the amount of Qi and blood in the Martial Artist's body, which means, the more Qi and blood before breaking through to Spirit Transformation, the higher the quality of the Spirit Pill!"

"This is also why we wanted you to reach a hundred Body Repository as much as possible, because each Human Body Treasure opened contains more Qi and blood!"

Listening to Kong Yunchang's words, Lu Sheng's brows slightly twitched.

If more Qi and blood meant higher Spirit Pill quality, then his forty million Qi and blood… At this moment, Kong Yunchang curiously asked, "I forgot, after you broke through to a hundred Body Repository, how much Qi and blood did you reach?"

Because after ninety Treasure Troves, all are hidden Treasure Troves, and Qi and blood are all within these hidden Treasure Troves. If Lu Sheng did not release his Qi and blood, even Kong Yunchang would not be able to detect it.

Lu Sheng scratched his head and chuckled.

"Forty million!"

"How much!!!"

Kong Yunchang's voice instantly rose. He suddenly stood up from the rattan chair, and even Lan Linglong, who had been quietly standing by, couldn't help but open her mouth when she heard that number.

Forty million points of Qi and blood!

What kind of concept was this???

As a result, Kong Yunchang's gaze towards Lu Sheng was filled with shock.

One must know that in the history of Great Xia, a Body Storage Realm Martial Artist with one million Qi and blood was already considered qualified. Some Prodigies could even reach four or five million points of Qi and blood.

Even figures like the Ten Saints of Great Xia, when they were in the Body Storage Realm, their Qi and blood never exceeded ten million.

Kong Yunchang himself was a Prodigy who once suppressed an era, and his Qi and blood barely approached ten million.

In Kong Yunchang's opinion, it was already Heaven-Defying for Lu Sheng to reach twenty million Qi and blood. Who knew that Lu Sheng would give him such a huge surprise?

Forty million Qi and blood!

That was double their prediction!

What kind of terrifying fellow was this?

At this moment, Kong Yunchang finally came to his senses. No wonder Lu Sheng and his companions were able to defeat the Prodigies of the Sky Demon Royal Clan. With forty million Qi and blood, even just by smashing with Qi and blood, they could probably smash a normal Spirit Transformation Peak Martial Artist to death.

Not to mention Lu Sheng's Heaven-Defying combat power, he also mastered the Sky Demon Royal Clan's nemesis Martial Arts, the Heaven and Earth Hammer.

"Oh my goodness!"

Kong Yunchang looked at Lu Sheng and couldn't help but exclaim. Finally, he slowly sat back down on the rattan chair, but even so, the corners of Kong Yunchang's mouth were still twitching constantly.

Forty million points of Qi and blood, it was simply terrifying to the extreme.

Condensing a Spirit Pill with forty million Qi and blood would undoubtedly result in a nine-pattern one.

Wait!

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Kong Yunchang's mind.

He had mentioned before that, according to legend, some people's Spirit Pill quality surpassed nine patterns, but it had never been verified.

Could it be... that Lu Sheng was about to become the one to verify this news?

Thinking of this, Kong Yunchang felt a bit restless for a moment.

He quickly looked at Lu Sheng and said in a deep voice, "When can you start condensing the Spirit Pill?"

To be honest, Kong Yunchang was somewhat eager to see what quality Spirit Pill Lu Sheng would condense.

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment: "I can start now!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Yunchang's eyes again, but compared to the shock Lu Sheng had brought him before, this news seemed insignificant.

"Good, good, good, then start condensing. I will protect your Dao!"

Kong Yunchang waved his hand, and in an instant, surging Heaven and Earth Power directly enveloped the entire courtyard.

It cut off the connection between the courtyard and the outside world.

After a solemn inspection, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Lu Sheng.

"The conversion of Qi and blood into Spiritual Qi is not very difficult. There is naturally a record in the 'Hidden Dragon Formless Sword'. Just follow the records in the 'Hidden Dragon Formless Sword' and you'll be fine!"

Lu Sheng nodded, then sat cross-legged on the spot, silently adjusting his state.

Kong Yunchang and Lan Linglong stood in the distance, quietly watching Lu Sheng.

"Teacher, is it possible for Little Junior Brother to condense the legendary Spirit Pill?"

Lan Linglong asked curiously.

Kong Yunchang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If this kid can't do it, then no one in the world can. Forty million Qi and blood... just saying it almost made my heart give out!"

To be honest, when he first heard it, even Kong Yunchang, with his calm inner self, felt a bit envious. However, when he thought that such a Prodigy was his Disciple, Kong Yunchang felt relieved and even proud.

Immediately, the two looked at Lu Sheng.

"Hiss... Exiting the Abyss Realm!"

Upon seeing the extremely solid Sword Qi behind Lu Sheng, even Kong Yunchang couldn't help but gasp, and his expression gradually became strange.

The 'Hidden Dragon Formless Sword' was created by Kong Yunchang, so he was naturally extremely familiar with it.

However, what Kong Yunchang hadn't expected was that Lu Sheng's talent would be Heaven-Defying to such an extent.

He hadn't even stepped into Spirit Transformation yet, but he was already in the Exiting the Abyss Realm. One must know that the 'Hidden Dragon Formless Sword' only had five Realms in total.

And these five Realms could extend to Kong Yunchang's level.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this kid wasn't my Disciple, I'd want to dissect him to see what he's made of!"

Kong Yunchang said with a hint of envy.

Lan Linglong covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Then what if someone wants to dissect Little Junior Brother?"

"Who dares?! My Disciple, Kong Yunchang, who dares to dissect him? I'll dissect him first!"

Kong Yunchang puffed out his beard and glared as he spoke.

The smile on Lan Linglong's face grew wider.

As time passed, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Sheng finally adjusted his state to its Peak.

Then, Lu Sheng followed the method recorded in the 'Hidden Dragon Formless Sword' and silently began to convert the Qi and blood in his Dantian into Spiritual Qi.

Forty million points of Qi and blood continuously circulated within Lu Sheng's body, eventually submerging into his Dantian little by little.

The moment the Qi and blood surged into the Dantian, the various other elemental Spiritual Qi within the Dantian seemed to sense it and fused into the Qi and blood.

Gradually, with the influx of Spiritual Qi, those Qi and blood also began to transform into the state of Spiritual Qi.

Lu Sheng could even feel his Qi and blood dissipating.

However, although the Qi and blood were dissipating, the sense of power did not diminish; instead, it made Lu Sheng feel increasingly powerful.

Gradually, a drop of golden Spiritual Qi slowly appeared in Lu Sheng's Dantian.

The moment that drop of golden Spiritual Qi appeared in Lu Sheng's Dantian, an extremely special fluctuation also gradually diffused from Lu Sheng's Dantian.

Within this special fluctuation, there was not only the sharpness of Sword Qi, but also the explosive power of flames, and even the inclusiveness of a vast ocean, and perhaps… even the coldness of ice and snow.

It was as if various attributes of Spiritual Qi had combined, ultimately converging into this final golden Spiritual Qi.

"What attribute of Spiritual Qi is this...?"

Kong Yunchang felt the fluctuations emanating from Lu Sheng's body and couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. He was astonished to find that he had never seen what attribute the Spiritual Qi in Lu Sheng's Dantian possessed.

Lan Linglong also asked with some concern, "Teacher, will the Spiritual Qi in Little Junior Brother's body have any ill effects on him?"

Kong Yunchang felt it for a moment, then shook his head. "No, the transformation of vital blood into Spiritual Qi has no harm for a Martial Artist. I can only say that I have never seen the attribute of this kid's Spiritual Qi, but I can be certain of one thing..."

"This kind of Spiritual Qi... is very strong!"

Kong Yunchang stated firmly.

However, there was a hint of shock in his eyes. The attribute of Spiritual Qi certainly relates to combat power, as all things in Heaven and Earth have different attributes and thus possess mutual restraint.

For example, a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse with water attribute is naturally stronger than a Spirit Transformation powerhouse with fire attribute.

Some special attributes of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi are also stronger than ordinary attributes.

But fundamentally, it still depended on the quality of the Spirit Pill condensed by the Spirit Transformation powerhouse.

Yet, Kong Yunchang had a premonition that merely with the attribute of this Spiritual Qi, Lu Sheng would far surpass most Martial Artists in terms of combat power.

Once Lu Sheng's Spirit Pill quality was revealed, he would likely become even more powerful.

"This kid... is simply a monster!"

Kong Yunchang couldn't help but exclaim.

"I wonder if this brat can condense a Spirit Pill that surpasses nine patterns!"

Kong Yunchang slightly narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Lu Sheng, who was seated cross-legged on the ground.

At this moment, the golden Spiritual Qi liquid in Lu Sheng's Dantian became increasingly abundant. Lu Sheng roughly calculated that approximately ten thousand points of vital blood could condense into one drop of golden Spiritual Qi liquid.

Currently, in Lu Sheng's Dantian, the golden Spiritual Qi liquid had already exceeded one hundred drops!

Over a million points of power had transformed into Spiritual Qi liquid.

As time passed, the Spiritual Qi liquid in the Dantian grew more and more, and an extremely powerful aura fluctuation gradually emerged from Lu Sheng's body.

When the last drop of vital blood in Lu Sheng's body transformed into golden Spiritual Qi liquid, a powerful sense of pressure instantly surged forth.

It directly stirred up gusts of wind, centered around Lu Sheng.

Kong Yunchang waved his large hand, and a burst of energy directly isolated himself and Lan Linglong from the storm.

He then looked at Lu Sheng.

"This is the final step; begin condensing the Spirit Pill!"

Kong Yunchang's eyes slightly narrowed as he watched Lu Sheng, who was seated cross-legged on the ground, the anticipation in his gaze growing more intense.

At this moment, Lu Sheng also took a deep breath, quickly forming a series of complex hand seals with both hands.

Then, he let out a low shout.

"Condense!"

Buzz! !

It was as if a mysterious energy fluctuation emanated from Lu Sheng's Dantian. Immediately afterwards, in Lu Sheng's Dantian, those drops of golden liquid seemed to be driven by some kind of power, beginning to converge.

In just a moment, a rudimentary pill-like shape appeared in Lu Sheng's Dantian.

With the appearance of the pill's prototype, Lu Sheng's aura also grew stronger.

The pill began to rotate continuously within the Dantian, frantically absorbing the four thousand drops of golden Spiritual Qi liquid.

When all the Spiritual Qi liquid was swallowed by the pill, the rudimentary pill seemed to develop its own sentience. Immediately afterwards, it directly whistled out of Lu Sheng's Dantian, circling outside Lu Sheng's body.

Upon seeing this, a sharp gleam shot out from Kong Yunchang's ancient eyes.

"The pill has taken shape. Next... we'll see how much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi this pill can absorb and how many patterns it can condense!"

Kong Yunchang stared intently at the rudimentary pill, appearing even more nervous than Lu Sheng.

Gradually, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the courtyard began to surge towards the location of the pill, little by little.

Due to the Profound Spirit Luck, the Spiritual Qi density between Heaven and Earth had directly increased fivefold. Furthermore, at this moment, Yin Yang City did not have many people, resulting in extremely dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Yin Yang City.

In just the blink of an eye, five golden patterns directly appeared on the pill.

"Five patterns so quickly!"

Kong Yunchang exclaimed in surprise.

One must know that ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists usually condense pill patterns by slowly increasing them one by one. Yet, Lu Sheng was so terrifying.

He directly jumped to five patterns at the very beginning.

However, this also indicated that the quality of the Spirit Pill Lu Sheng had condensed had already reached an extremely terrifying level.

So much so that it could directly break through to the level of five patterns.

Soon, another golden pattern appeared on the pill.

Six patterns!

The time it took for six patterns to appear, compared to the time it took for five patterns to appear, was only a single breath. This shows how incredibly fast the speed was.

At this moment, both Kong Yunchang and Lan Linglong held their breath, not daring to be careless as they watched the pill before them.

Soon, more and more patterns appeared on the pill.

Seven patterns!

Eight patterns!

Nine patterns!

In just a few breaths, nine patterns directly appeared on the pill!

"Hiss! !"

Even Kong Yunchang couldn't help but gasp at this sight.

No, was achieving nine patterns really that easy?

Even when he had condensed his own pill, it had taken him a full stick of incense to finally reach nine patterns.

Yet, from the moment Lu Sheng's pill left his Dantian until now, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it had only taken a few breaths, and nine patterns had already appeared?

This was... a bit too exaggerated.

However, Kong Yunchang still stared intently at the pill, a look of excitement appearing in his eyes.

Kong Yunchang also knew... that today, he might truly witness history.

Witness... the birth of a Spirit Pill surpassing nine patterns!

At this moment, Kong Yunchang's breathing began to quicken.

He saw that the pill, covered with nine golden patterns, suddenly gave birth to another pattern.

"Ten patterns?"

Kong Yunchang was startled by this.

Could it be that above nine patterns, it was simply a matter of one more pattern? If so, achieving this quality didn't seem that easy, did it?

Just as this thought emerged in Kong Yunchang's mind, numerous patterns suddenly appeared on the pill at an extremely rapid speed.

Eleven!

Twelve!

Thirteen!

...Ninety-nine!

In just a few breaths, the golden patterns, as if they were free, frantically emerged on Lu Sheng's pill.

When ninety-nine golden patterns appeared on the pill, the entire pill was already filled with golden patterns.

A moment later, a golden radiance emerged from the pill.

Filling in the last missing trace.

Finally... the pill had already taken on a golden luster, every part completely filled with that golden luster, perfectly seamless.

"This..."

Kong Yunchang looked at the scene before him, his face momentarily devoid of any emotion except for utter shock. Even Lan Linglong, who was usually extremely composed, couldn't help but gape at the sight, then quickly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment.

The golden pill was suffused with an extremely powerful fluctuation. Finally, that golden Spirit Pill seemed to have had its fill, lazily returning to Lu Sheng's Dantian.

At this moment... Lu Sheng had finally succeeded in Spirit Transformation, crossing from the Qi Refining stage into the Qi Refining stage!
