Chapter 479: Cross-level Refining
The Dragon Blood Golden Pill was personally refined by Chai Xin some time ago, and he only had this one left.
For him, who has already used the power of faith to temper his body and soul, this magic pill has long been useless.
However, for other people, even a top-notch immortal like Xiao Tianchen, the effect of this elixir is still very significant.
"With the medicinal effect of this pill, after taking it, my body and soul will be at least 20% to 30% stronger! By then, my overall strength is estimated to double, which is exactly the momentum for me to enter the peak of the immortal realm..."
Holding the Dragon Blood Golden Pill in his hand, even Xiao Tianchen couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"As the saying goes, a gift from an elder should not be refused. Since it is a gift from my uncle, I am ashamed to accept it."
As he said this, he clasped his fists and bowed to Chai Xin again.
"No need to be so polite. This elixir is of little use to me. Giving it to you is just a small compensation. Let's go back to Shenning City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Xin waved his sleeves, opened a passage in the void, and walked in first.
"Yes!"
Xiao Tianchen put away the pill and followed him immediately.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Things turned out just as Chai Xin had expected. After losing several generals, Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain fell completely silent and no one was sent forward again.
Not to mention being held accountable, they didn't even mention it anymore, as if it had never happened.
However, just because Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain did not mention it does not mean that others did not mention it either.
Including the Shenzhou Sect, as well as various factions that witnessed the battle in Taining City and Qingning City that day, they quickly spread the entire story in a clear and detailed manner.
Within a few days, the entire fairy world knew that Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain had taken the initiative to provoke trouble, and despite warnings from Shenzhou Sect, they continued to escalate their behavior and refused to repent again and again.
Finally, the leader of the branch of Shenzhou Sect who was oppressed could no longer endure it and went to the main cities of the two sects alone...
With his own strength, he killed several supreme immortals and over a hundred holy immortals!
The most important point is that according to rumors, when the master of the branch temple went to seek revenge, his strength seemed to be only at the Yuanxian realm...
This rumor was so outrageous that most people regarded it as a false rumor.
It was not until the details spread that people knew that Shenzhoumen had also sent reinforcements - a vice-president of the Council of Elders, to help.
As a result, many people who were not in the know suddenly realized the truth and became more convinced that some parts of the rumors were deliberately exaggerated.
The truth was obvious to them. It must have been the deputy speaker of the Shenzhou Sect who took action and successfully killed several immortals from the Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain.
In their opinion, let alone a Yuanxian, even a Shengxian or even an ordinary Zhixian, how could they have the ability to achieve such a record with their own strength?
Human nature has always been like this. People are always willing to believe what they want to believe, but often turn a blind eye to the real facts.
Although there were many people stranded in Taining City and Qingning City that day, even if the people from Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain were excluded, there were still hundreds of millions of people.
But although these hundreds of millions of people may seem huge, once they are placed in the vast ocean of the fairyland, a boundless world with a population of tens of trillions, what do they count for?
At most, it's just a drop of water.
Even though they were very confident and said they had seen it with their own eyes, there were still countless people who did not believe them.
Some people even used magic to copy the picture, but they could not really make it public so that everyone in the fairy world could see it.
What's more, the images copied by magic may not be completely real. Certain special means can be used to forge pictures and sounds.
In short, Jiang Xuanhuang's name in this battle shocked the entire fairy world.
However, only a very few people truly realized that this was a peerless genius rarely seen in the ages, who used his immortal body to attract heavenly thunder and killed a leader among the immortals.
After becoming a saint, he killed another powerful man like that.
However, at this critical juncture, no one would act rashly. Even if they knew about the situation, they would just wait and see what happened.
As for the result that most people in the fairy world ignored the truth, it was naturally due to the deliberate guidance of the Shenzhou Sect.
The top leaders of Shenzhou Gate certainly didn't want Chai Xin's talent to be exposed too thoroughly, so they simply ordered people to spread all kinds of messages randomly.
In this way, the water is completely muddied, and naturally there are very few people who can discern the truth.
As for those senior officials who have truly realized the truth, they dare not act rashly at this moment.
No one can determine whether there are unimaginable guardians around Jiang Xuanhuang.
Besides, this incident has caused such a big stir that it is impossible for the highest level of Heaven to be unaware of it.
The reason why I didn't make any public statement was that I didn't want the situation to escalate further.
But they have secretly issued a stern warning that anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical juncture will be severely punished!
Therefore, under pressure from many sides, Chai Xin, who should have been at the center of the storm, is unusually peaceful at this moment.
More than half a month ago, Xiao Tianchen had returned to report.
Moreover, before returning to report, he refined the Dragon Blood Golden Elixir, which increased his strength further and allowed him to finally reach the ultimate level of immortality that he had always dreamed of.
Before leaving, he thanked Chai Xin profusely and said that in the future, if his uncle gave him any instructions, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.
After all, that one pill not only saved him thousands of years of hard training, but also further enhanced his potential.
This increases the probability of him reaching the invincible immortal realm in the future.
More importantly, in these turbulent times, any increase in strength would be a great blessing.
Maybe, this will increase the chances of survival and opportunities in the coming catastrophe.
Otherwise, if Xiao Tianchen delays for another few thousand years before stepping into the pinnacle of immortality, it will be too late!
It is even possible that he would perish in the next catastrophe due to his lack of strength, and would never have the chance to take that one step forward again...
Of course, Chai Xin was not idle during this period.
He has used time acceleration to basically refine all the immortal essences he carried on his body, including the rich essences of the white-haired Taoist and True Lord Haoxuan!
The reason why it was a "basic" refining was that he did it on purpose.
Before Xiao Tianchen left, his cultivation had already reached the invincible level of a saintly immortal.
Even if he wanted to, he could take that step at any time and bring about the legendary great calamity of the immortal!
But he didn't do that because he had a bigger plan in mind.
"Recently, the entire fairy world has been as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water. It is obviously the calm before the storm. I am afraid that a full-scale war with the gods is just around the corner."
Chai Xin sat quietly in the inner room, trying his best to maintain his cultivation at the pinnacle of the Saint Immortal.
The so-called invincibility of Yuanxian, invincibility of Shengxian, and even invincibility of Zhixian are not a realm of cultivation in themselves.
Speaking of which, the invincibility of the Saint Immortal still belongs to the category of the pinnacle of Saint Immortals.
It's just that their strength is too incredible, they can almost treat other cultivators of the same level as nothing, and can even kill hundreds of cultivators of the same level by themselves. Therefore, they are called "invincible".
Moreover, almost only those who can reach the "invincible" level of this realm have the possibility of entering the next realm.
As for ordinary "peak" cultivators, 90% of them will never make any progress in their lifetime, or they will rely on external forces to step "half a step" into the next realm.
Such as half-step to sainthood and half-step to immortality.
Of course, there is always a way out. Over the long years, there have been examples of people who did not reach the "invincible" level but eventually achieved the next level.
But there are very few such exceptions. It is difficult to find one among a hundred or a thousand people.
As for Chai Xin's current situation, he is standing at the last half step of the pinnacle of Saint Immortal. To say that he is "Invincible Saint Immortal" is actually not enough to describe even one percent of his strength.
After all, with his current real combat power, he is already comparable to the most powerful immortals!
Maybe he lacks endurance, but if he encounters humans or gods, with the support of the World Tree and Xirang, he may even have a great chance of winning.
"I want to take advantage of the great catastrophe of the Supreme Immortal to make a big profit! When the time comes, I will have earned enough Supreme Immortal essence from the God Clan, and I can hide and refine it with peace of mind, and reach the pinnacle of the Supreme Immortal in one fell swoop!"
Whenever Chai Xin thought about the large number of gods dying in his great calamity of immortality, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
“By that time, I will definitely have the strength to fight against a Half-Step Heavenly Monarch! And with the help of the World Tree, I may even be able to suppress the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch of the God Clan! After that…”
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and suppressed the unrest in his heart.
Because a thin figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Yizu.
"Master has been gone for nearly a month, and he is finally back."
Chai Xin quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to his master.
As soon as he returned to Yongning City, Yi Zu told him that he had some things to deal with, and he disappeared for a month.
"Hahaha, isn't it all for you? I have finally gathered all the materials to help you refine a king-grade immortal weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zu laughed out loud, with a look of great joy on his face.
When Chai Xin heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a warm feeling surged in his heart.
It turned out that the master left in a hurry in order to collect materials for him to refine a top-grade immortal weapon!
"Disciple... Thank you for your trouble, Master!"
Chai Xin bowed again and saluted seriously.
"Well, since you call me Master, do you still need these polite words? Come, come, come and see what good things I have got for you!"
Yi Zu waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, and as he waved his sleeves, a row of divine materials shimmering with precious light appeared in the quiet room, filling the entire room with rosy clouds.
"Master, with your great background, you are only refining a king-grade immortal weapon for your disciple. Why would you need to spend a month collecting materials?"
Just when Chai Xin was feeling suspicious, he caught a glimpse of the many magical materials in front of him. His voice stopped abruptly and his breathing stagnated.
"Nether Soul Crystal, Chaos Spirit Stone, Blood-Withered Vine..."
Hundreds of precious divine materials were listed in front of him, each of which was priceless, and even the immortals would salivate at the sight of them.
With Chai Xin's current wealth, being able to exchange for one-tenth of these divine materials would be considered a great blessing.
It is conceivable that it would not be easy for Yizu to get all these things.
"Master, I just refined the Xuanhuang Seal to the level of a king-grade immortal weapon. Why would I need so many rare treasures?"
After taking a closer look, Chai Xin asked in surprise.
Yi Zu smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you were only refining an ordinary king-grade immortal weapon, you wouldn't need to put so much effort into it. However, if you just hastily refine your Xuan Huang Seal, it would be a waste of talent."
As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman and sent it in front of Chai Xin with a flick of his finger.
"Master has a special ritual refining method that can help you successfully refine a high-level king-grade immortal weapon at the Saint Immortal stage."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chai Xin's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He knew that king-grade immortal artifacts were roughly divided into two qualities, the so-called primary and advanced levels.
A primary-grade royal immortal weapon can be refined by a saint.
However, in order to refine a high-level king-grade immortal weapon, one must reach the ultimate immortal realm.
This was almost an iron rule. Even he had never heard of a method that allowed a Saint Immortal to refine a high-level king-grade immortal weapon.
"Are you serious? In the realm of Saint Immortal, can one refine a high-level king-grade immortal weapon?" Chai Xin still found it a little unbelievable.
Yi Zu nodded and said, "How can your master lie to you? It's just that the refining requirements are very difficult."
“The first, and most difficult condition, is to be able to reach the Saint Immortal realm and possess strength comparable to that of the Supreme Immortal.
"Secondly, you need these precious materials. If it were a Supreme Immortal, these materials would be enough to refine ten King-grade Immortal artifacts, but you only have enough to refine one.
"Finally, there is one more thing, and that is to have an invincible immortal being to help you."
After saying this, he looked at Chai Xin with a smile and said slowly: "Coincidentally, you fully meet these three conditions."
"Master..."
Chai Xin took a deep breath and felt the warmth in his chest surge more and more violently. Suddenly he was speechless.
After so many years, he had this feeling again.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm telling you this. After I help you refine the Xuanhuang Seal again, I will no longer be your babysitter!"
Yi Zu interrupted Chai Xin again, looking very serious.
"You are a rare genius, far exceeding my expectations when I accepted you as my apprentice... If I continue to teach you closely like this, it may not be a good thing for you.
"This supreme immortal weapon is your apprenticeship gift to you. But I never expected that you would become an apprentice so quickly. You are the best in our sect..."
Having said that, without waiting for Chai Xin to respond, he waved his hand and summoned a huge black cauldron, which released divine fire out of thin air and began to burn fiercely.
"Don't waste time, quickly learn the refining method in the jade slip. I will help you dissolve these divine materials first. The formal refining steps later will still need to be done by yourself, no one else can help you!"
Yi Zu sat cross-legged and flicked his fingers from time to time, and a material fell into the cauldron and was burned by the divine fire.
"Disciple, please obey your master's orders!"
Chai Xin took a deep breath, injected his spiritual thoughts into the jade slip, and began to learn this little-known special refining method.
