Chapter 41: Spiritual Crisis (Urgently Seeking Three Rivers Ticket!)

  It has to be said that the divine elixir formula is several times more complicated than the divine wheel formula, and the required medicinal materials are also unheard of in Jiangnan. The spiritual key is even more numerous, with hundreds of varieties, it's terrifying!

  It turns out that the spiritual formula of Sheli Lingdan is only eighteen kinds!

  Jiangnan memorized a Dan Fang in his mind, and also learned the spiritual secrets one by one. He then changed to another stone wall, continued to meditate, and practiced these Dan Fang spiritual secrets.

  He was fully focused, his spirit wandering outside, unaware of the movements and sounds of the outside world. The old man, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and stared blankly at the young man beside him, whose hands were changing in a mysterious and unpredictable way, forming a complex and profound spiritual seal.

  "Marvelous! Truly marvelous! Such a profound and ingenious move, I've never seen it before in my life!"

  That sloppy old man's eyes lit up, muttering to himself: "Listening to his true energy flowing, without any stagnation, it solved the difficult problem I had been studying for years in one move, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

  Jiang Nan's movements were extremely fast, each spiritual key flashing by, leaving the old man unable to keep up. Just as he grasped one key, another flashed by, and he hastily focused his mind to remember, carefully savoring and comprehending.

  The old man had grasped all the spiritual secrets that Jiang Nan had demonstrated, but there were still many that he only half understood and couldn't perform smoothly. He then woke up from his meditation, looked around, and saw that the fourth floor of the Miao Dan Pavilion was empty, with only him left, while Jiang Nan had already left without knowing when.

  The old man hastily got up, rushed downstairs like a gust of wind, and searched through the layers of attic, but never saw Jiangnan again, feeling lost and disheartened.

  Yue Ting saw the old man and was both surprised and delighted. He hastily paid his respects: "Fourth Uncle, you've finally woken up..."

  Before he finished speaking, a sudden surge of invisible force came and swept him up, floating in mid-air, suspended before the old man. The old man hastily asked: "Ting Er, do you know that a young man has been to the fourth floor?"

  "Boy?"

  Yue Ting was stunned and didn't dare to hide the truth, saying: "Just now, a young man came by. He should have gone to the fourth floor and left not long ago. Could he have disturbed Fourth Uncle's quiet cultivation? Fourth Uncle, this young man is an honored guest of my Medicine King Manor. The king has allowed him to come and go as he pleases in the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion..."

  "A guest at the Medicine King's Manor? And still so young..."

  The old man's face was uncertain, he pushed Yue Ting away and muttered to himself: "If people knew that I, the old man, was pointed out by a young boy about the spiritual formula, and still didn't understand it thoroughly, and had to ask for guidance from him... The reputation of my Medicine King's Manor would be completely lost... Unfortunately, from his spiritual formula, I have gained insight into the subtleties of refining the Sacred Elixir of the Divine Wheel, only one step away from having a firm grasp on refining this divine-level elixir..."

  Yue Ting was tongue-tied and speechless for a long time.

  The old man shook his head and turned back to the fourth floor of Miaodan Pavilion, no longer going after Jiangnan to ask for the spiritual key.

  Yue Ting stood still like a wooden chicken, standing in the same place for half a day without moving. After a long time, he suddenly shivered with cold sweat and muttered to himself: "Impossible! Fourth Uncle must have been in meditation for too long and is a bit dizzy! How could Jiang brother possibly point out his spiritual key, and it's the spiritual key of a divine elixir? This is absolutely impossible!"

  In the pharmacy of the Medicine King's mansion, an old pharmacist said with great respect: "The king has ordered that whatever medicine the young master comes to fetch will be granted. Please wait for a moment, I'll get the spiritual medicine you need."

  After a brief wait in the quiet south, the old pharmacist soon finished preparing the spiritual medicine for the Ten Furnace Divine Transformation Pill and handed it over to him with great respect.

  "In a place like the Medicine King's Manor, refining pills is really easy, all kinds of spiritual medicine are available." Jiang Nan took the spiritual medicine and rushed to the pill-refining room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

  The old pharmacist watched him leave, but in his heart he was bleeding: "The king is really confused, and he made this order hastily. This kid is obviously a reckless fool, daring to concoct any kind of pill, actually daring to refine a divine-grade spiritual elixir... wasting ten furnaces of precious spiritual medicine. These ten furnaces of spiritual medicine are extremely valuable, even the king himself wouldn't dare ask for ten at once... But anyway, he's going to refine the elixir now, and it will definitely explode, a divine-grade spiritual elixir explosion is no small matter, it will definitely blow this fool into smithereens. At that time, I'll just go take back the remaining spiritual medicine..."

  In the Dan House, Jiang Nan's confidence surged as he rushed to the best Dan furnace. He thought: "The divine wheel-level spirit dan is not something that an ordinary Dan furnace can withstand the pressure of the medicine expanding, it must be used with the best Dan furnace, otherwise an ordinary Dan furnace will definitely be burst by the medicine!"

  If it were in the past, he would not have dared to refine a spiritual elixir of the Spirit Wheel level with just the realm of refining Qi. However, now that he has obtained the Yuanyang Divine Water and the Douluo Divine Fire, using both water and fire methods to temper and refine, combining yin and yang, subjugating dragon and tiger, it is certain that he can easily eliminate the impurities of various spiritual medicines and refine a spiritual elixir, which would be as easy as water flowing into a ditch!

  He chose a large bronze furnace, this bronze furnace was over five feet tall and weighed up to 1,000 catties, the lid alone weighed more than 150 catties.

  In the south, he snapped his fingers lightly and the lid of the cinnabar copper furnace suddenly flew up. The young man shook his sleeves and saw various medicinal materials flying up one after another, floating in mid-air, and a kind of spiritual medicine was thrown into the alchemy furnace one after another.

  His sleeves fluttered, his fingers danced, and a series of elegant spiritual incantations unfolded, instantly stirring the two great treasures, the Mysterious Water of the Eyebrow Center and the Cauldron God Fire. The spiritual incantation contained dense water yuan force and fire yuan force, which seeped into the furnace as he cast his spell, while the fire yuan force smelted and refined outside the furnace.

  He closed his eyes and looked with his heart, only to see the divine water of the abyss in the furnace washing away the impurities of various spiritual medicines. The godly fire of the furnace was then burning outside, refining and transforming the impurities that could not be removed by the water method, making the medicinal powers compatible!

  This was his first time practicing alchemy with both water and fire methods, but under the urging of the Mó Yù Xuán Tāi Jīng, he became proficient and composed.

  Others, even if they were divine wheel-level powerhouses, would find it extremely difficult to refine the impurities within these high-grade spiritual medicines. But for him, it was the simplest of tasks.

  After a long time, the medicinal properties in the furnace finally became extremely pure, without any impurities affecting the medicinal properties. Under the strong pressure of the Danzhu copper furnace, various medicinal properties began to be compatible and gradually condensed into a pill!

  At this point, it is most critical, and it is easy to cause the explosion of the furnace due to excessive pressure. Jiangnan sat on the lid of the furnace, using all his strength to urge the Xuanjing Scripture, suppressing the copper furnace.

  Ding dong! Ding dong!

  After a long time, the dan furnace suddenly transmitted the crisp sound of big pearls and small pearls falling onto the jade plate. Jiang Nan's sleeve rolled up, and he flipped the furnace lid flying, reached in with his hand, and grabbed at the air. Only two scarlet spirit elixirs the size of dragon eyes fell into his palm.

  He picked one up, tossed it into his mouth, crunched for two bites, and swallowed.

  "Perfectly pure, without a single impurity!"

  Jiangnan exclaimed in admiration, only to feel a sudden headache, his brow swelling as if inflated, with all sorts of sounds rushing forth, like the voices of billions of living beings chanting in unison, or the majestic and sonorous voice of heavenly praise, or even the chanting of thousands of high monks reciting Buddhist scriptures, and there were also deafening dragon roars and phoenix cries, ear-splitting iron forging sounds, as if a giant golden armored warrior stood within his brain, raising a massive hammer to strike fiercely!

  "What a powerful Divine Transformation Pill! If I'm even slightly careless, I fear that my mind will split and there will be countless versions of me fighting for control over my body!"

  All sorts of voices flooded his mind, making Jiang Nan suddenly feel that his spirit had split into thousands, tens of thousands, and in an instant, he seemed to have become countless independent selves, each one able to think independently!

  This situation is extremely dangerous, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your true self. Jiangnan is like a drowning person who doesn't know when he'll be able to put his hands and feet on the ground, panting heavily, with sweat all over his body, and his eyes have also become bloodshot, filled with blood vessels!

  "Get up, get up quickly!"

  He gritted his teeth, desperately resisting the thousands of fragmented spirits, clinging to the last shred of clear consciousness. Suddenly, he stood up, his hands transforming into a thousand different shapes, and in an instant, they formed a lotus seal. As soon as the seal was opened, the various sounds around him grew much fainter, and a cool sensation appeared at the center of his brow. A powerful spiritual intention transformed into a snow-white crystal, appearing at the center of his brow.

  Before long, the Lotus Seal was unable to calm his mind, and various strange sounds grew louder, once again disturbing his mental state. Jiang Nan's hand seal suddenly changed, his voice hoarse, as he shouted: "Treasured Vase Seal!"

  The white lotus between his eyebrows burst and transformed into a sheep fat white jade treasure bottle, absorbing countless sounds into the bottle. Before long, faint thread-like cracks also appeared on the surface of the bottle.

  "Lingzhu Yin!"

  "Shishin!"

  "Guangming Yin!"

  ……

  A bright seal of the King of Light appeared on his hand, changing and settling in his brow, keeping his mind clear and sharp. With an uncountable number of voices roaring around him, his spirit and will began to rapidly expand, as if a powerful force was pouring into his thoughts, forging, tempering, nourishing and supplementing them, not only increasing the quantity but also rapidly improving the quality!

  After a long time, these strange noises gradually disappeared. Jiang Nan breathed heavily and muttered to himself that he was lucky.

  Huashen Dan is not a spiritual elixir that can be taken by him in this realm, but rather a spiritual elixir that only strong practitioners of the Wheel of Heaven can take without any side effects. With his current cultivation at the Refining Qi stage, forcibly taking it would very likely lead to a split personality and problems with his mental state.

  The spiritual concept of Jiangnan was originally very strong, and after being trained by Jiang Xue, his martial arts will became extremely firm. He also cultivated the magical path of the Mysterious Fetal Scripture, and had been tempered with the divine water of Youming and the sacred fire of Tushita to refine his vital energy and spirit. However, taking the Divine Transformation Pill was still somewhat insufficient.

  Fortunately, he possessed the Ming Wang Shen Yin, a specialized technique for cultivating spiritual intentions, otherwise he would have been driven mad by this Dan and lost his sense of self, falling into madness.

  "Huang Shen Dan is indeed worthy of being a divine-grade spirit pellet!"

  Jiang Nan suddenly stood up, staring blankly at his own hands. He suddenly felt that his six senses had become extremely delicate and clear. His eyes could see incredibly small things, his ears could hear even farther away, and even with his eyes closed, he could "see" the tiny particles mixed in with the blood flowing through his body!

  This is the effect of the Divine Transformation Pill's spiritual refinement!
