Chapter Forty-Four: The Five Elements Pill Is Complete

  He nodded his head with a smile, "The five elements of the universe, the divine power after perfection is unimaginable! In my childhood, I once saw that great man who created the Five Elements Way, his elegance was unmatched, and he was as lofty as a high mountain..."

  At this point, Shui's eyes were somewhat dazed and showed a hint of longing. He then coldly laughed and said, "There are at most 8,000 techniques in the Five Elements, but most people only master one aspect. Although everyone knows about the Five Elements, it doesn't mean they truly understand its subtleties!"

  "Fei Longzi also sighed with emotion after achieving the Yuan Shen, lamenting the complexity of the Five Elements Grand Dao. He was quite regretful. What I'm going to tell you today is the secret to successfully forming the Five Elements Dan and reaching the pinnacle!"

  "The five elements are complete, and I have reached the pinnacle!" Even Rong Yuan, who was born with a carefree nature, felt his blood boiling with excitement upon hearing these words!

  "No matter which of the Five Elements, they can all condense into a Golden Elixir and achieve the Primordial Spirit! And their powers are not low either. But if you really want to roam freely in the world, unstoppable and without worries, it's still the Five Elements' Golden Elixir, the Primordial Spirit of Heaven and Earth!"

  By the time he heard this, Mu Yuan had already become deeply engrossed in it. Shui continued, "In those days, after Fei Long Zi achieved his yuan Shen, he once engaged in a fierce battle with the yuan Shen of other four paths' high-ranking cultivators. Although he didn't get to snoop on their cultivation methods, he gained insight into the fundamental principles of the four paths!"

  "The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, the essence is constantly changing and transforming. Among them, the Fire Path is the most powerful in achieving the Yuan Shen, with the strongest combat power. The others have their own mysteries, but after the Five Elements Dan is formed, the achievement of the Yuan Shen is earth-shattering, almost sweeping across all sects!"

  Muyuan originally thought that gathering the five elements was just a change in magical powers, with many ways to deal with enemies. His master had pointed it out to him before, but only up to the realm of Dan Cheng, and the path of Yuanshen was long and unknown. No one had ever told him about the highest prospects of Lianqi cultivation, so now that he had the opportunity to listen, especially to the highest way, Muyuan would not miss it!

  "May I ask, senior, since the Five Elements Paths are vastly different from each other, how can they be merged into one?"

  She smiled slightly, "You forgot what I said earlier. Among the Five Elements, Earth is broad and tolerant, accommodating all things. In the Way of Earth, its method is called the Furnace Technique, which means to merge the five elements into one furnace, gathering them together to form a pill. Water and fire complement each other, dragon and tiger intersect, that's the four elements of water, fire, wood, and metal! As it is said, 'With sleeves spread wide, the universe is vast, with a staff in hand, the sun and moon shine bright, all depends on the formation of one pill'!"

  Mu Yuan murmured, "With sleeves spread wide, the universe is vast, with a staff in hand, the sun and moon shine bright. But to gather all five elements of the Great Way, what kind of difficulty is that?"

  "Who says it's not, otherwise there wouldn't be one after all these years! However, Fei Longzi had also imagined that as long as he could get the Huo Lu Jue, the other four paths could be replaced with other methods, although they couldn't compare to the subtlety of the authentic Five Elements Path, but it would still be far superior to the others!"

  "Oven rhyme, oven rhyme, but doesn't it sound more like a fire path's technique?"

  "With a smile, 'The Heart Sutra's magic, how can it be guessed by name? The Fire Path is called Nirvana Sutra, the Golden Path is Eternal Sutra, and the Water Path... you know, it's Tidal Flow, together with Longevity Sutra. These are the Five Great Heart Methods, each of which can achieve the Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit). It all depends on the individual!'"

  Mu Yuan nodded and asked, "If the five great heart methods are not enough, how can the Furnace Formula be used to smelt the Five Elements and achieve the Golden Elixir?"

  "Just seek the divine, all the skills and methods in the world are complex, but ultimately do not depart from the five elements and yin-yang. If you gather the five elements, it will be enough. If it really doesn't work, condense the five elements of heaven and earth, or some exquisite treasures of the five elements Tao can barely make up for it!"

  "Is Fa Bao also done?"

  "If it's about the method of treasure, Feilongzi has also made some inferences, which is feasible. However, the requirements for the treasure are a bit stricter, requiring it to be a five-element Dao treasure that is purely one way. After you have cultivated your spirit and achieved great success, you can divide and refine your spiritual consciousness into an externalized body, naturally allowing you to glimpse some of the subtleties of the treasure's refinement. At that time, use the Huo Lu Jue to burn and refine these second yuan shen externalized bodies and the true qi of your original body, transforming them into a golden elixir. Compared to the golden elixirs formed by accumulating and gathering through other methods, this one is even higher."

  "An external body, oh no!" Mu Yuan was about to go crazy, never expecting so much trouble. He bitterly smiled and said, "Senior is joking, right? How could junior have known that refining a dan would be so troublesome?"

  His face turned slightly cold, "Who was joking with you? If you don't want to, then forget it. It's easy to achieve the elixir of immortality with the Longevity Incantation, I might as well have not said anything to you!"

  After finishing speaking, Shui's delicate body flipped over and suddenly transformed back into its original form. Its twin wings trembled as it parted the marsh and hid within once again.

  "What a big temper! I was just talking. Mu Yuan sighed, "Still a water-controlling spirit, how come you didn't extinguish your fiery temper!"

  "Ah, the secret of the oven, externalizing the body, the treasure of the law, the heavenly and earthly shackles, alas, my elixir is complete!" Mu Yuan wailed, thinking that his elixir was not far from completion, only waiting to condense the shackles and refine his spirit before he could melt his essence and spirit, forming a golden elixir. But today, Water's words had disturbed his mood, who among those cultivating their energy and refining their path didn't have a few parts of arrogant bones? Who didn't want to achieve the highest quality elixir, with an invincible primordial spirit?!

  He walked back to the original place, sat down cross-legged, but didn't notice that in the swamp, a huge body was curled up into a ball, transformed back into human form, wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, "Fortunately, this little guy is easy to deceive, just by telling him a guess about Fei Long Zi, I got the Dragon King's dynamic skill, whether it succeeds or not depends on himself! Unfortunately, there aren't any good treasures around me, otherwise I would have given them to him too. Alas, deceiving a junior like this, if Fei Long Zi finds out, he'll laugh to death."

  Immediately, the self-satisfied and self-obtained new method of operation transformed the true energy of the body into threads of lightning power. In just a moment, the body was covered with a layer of electric light, flashing and scorching, and the surrounding space was affected by this electric power, all twisted and distorted. Compared to Mu Yuan's Dragon King's movement, it was stronger by at least a hundred times!

  The remaining days, Mu Yuan still practiced the tide of true energy every day. Occasionally, when he was idle, he would also think of the method of alchemy that Shui had told him, but he couldn't make sense of it. Thus, one day after another passed, and the last month of facing the wall finally came to an end. Mu Yuan had also made up his mind.

  "Let's first ask Master for the Cultivation of Spirit method, can't help but go to collect Lingzhi Congxian, if we're lucky enough to encounter suitable Lingzhi, together with collecting and preparing Dan Cheng, if we're unlucky enough to meet a few blind Three Paths people, I'll have no choice but to use force, being able to snatch the Cultivation method is naturally good, can't snatch it then having a few magical artifacts is also fine! Ah yes, there's also Spiritual Consciousness Division, cultivating the External Body technique!"
