The lake of the heart stirred slightly, and from the Flying Immortal Pill in front of him, Liu Yu saw the hope of rapidly advancing in cultivation.
Although he had solid foundations and had gained considerable strength upon reaching the yuan ying realm, the crises he faced were numerous.
Near at hand, there was the sworn enemy of the sect, He Old Devil from the Heavenly Harmony Sect, who would not rest until he was dead.
Further away, there was the threat from the sword of ruin, looming over him like the Sword of Damocles, ready to strike down at any moment.
Moreover, the trip to Bright Moon Immortal City to slay the poisonous dragon Aolang had drawn the attention of the demonic race.
Currently, during the war between humans and demons, he might be given special “care”.
It was uncertain when the crisis would suddenly arrive, so his current strength was still not safe enough.
Considering all these factors, Liu Yu knew he could not remain stagnant; otherwise, he risked falling into an abyss.
“From qi refinement to yuan ying, such a difficult path, I have walked step by step.”
“Could it be that I, Liu Yu, would fall in the darkness before dawn?!”
With that thought flashing through his mind, Liu Yu's gaze became cold and firm.
After a moment, he calmed his emotions and cleaned the alchemy furnace to handle the waste residue.
He placed eight Flying Immortal Pills into a jade vial and headed straight to the training room.
“Boom!”
The stone gate slowly closed, producing a heavy sound.
In the spacious room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged, quickly clearing his mind to enter a state of emptiness.
Then, he took out a pure white Flying Immortal Pill and swallowed it, operating the tenth layer of the qingyang skill to refine it.
Once the pill entered his abdomen, under the active refinement of his cultivation technique, a slightly violent surge of spiritual energy exploded, and the medicinal properties began to take effect.
From what Liu Yu knew, there were only about twenty or so types of fourth-grade lower-tier spiritual pills still usable in Tian Nan.
Among them, although the Flying Immortal Pill could not be considered a top-tier product, it was definitely not bad and was more than enough to support him in cultivating to the peak of the early stage.
Thus, for cultivation in the early yuan ying stage, this spiritual pill was sufficient; there was no need to gather other pills.
After all, although his promotion had been recent, thanks to the effects of the Infant Nurturing Pill, Liu Yu was not a true newly advanced yuan ying cultivator.
“Gather qi and concentrate the spirit, embrace the origin and guard the one!”
Sensing a large amount of pure spiritual power emerging from his abdomen as the medicinal properties began to take effect, Liu Yu fully operated his technique for refining.
Under his control, the pure spiritual power first circulated through his physical body, completing seventy-two great cycles.
This refined the impurities within, imprinting his spiritual consciousness, and initially refined it into magical power.
Only then did it flow into his dantian, where it underwent the remaining thirty-six great cycles, refining into true yuan ying magical power, returning to the vast sea of magical power.
Under the observation of his powerful spiritual consciousness, every change was clear at a glance, with not a single mistake; the entire process proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Countless deep blue crystals, smaller than dust, formed into strips of “blue ribbons,” emerging from his limbs and bones, constantly merging into the deep blue yuan ying.
After completing the thirty-six great cycles, the scale and volume shrank significantly.
It overflowed from the seven orifices of the yuan ying, transforming into countless invisible crystals that fell into the sea of magical power below.
As time passed, the vast spiritual power of the Flying Immortal Pill was absorbed, and the medicinal properties continued to take effect, causing the water level of the sea of magical power to rise slightly.
