Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1481: Chapter 687: Lu Youyou’s Breakthrough, Dao Companion’s Advancement

”You have witnessed the richness of this realm’s essence, haven’t you.”

”In the distance, that city is called Celestial Secret City, which was once the territory of the sect Celestial Secret Mansion.”

”Ever since it was eradicated by the Primordial Talisman Sect, a huge city was built here, becoming Celestial Secret City.”

”Cities like these are countless throughout the Void Realm.”

”But inside, it contains a Tier Eight Spirit Vein.”

”Even Mahayana Cultivators can practice inside without any problem.”

Lu Nanqiu explained.

”It’s just an ordinary region, but it has a Tier Eight Spirit Vein.”

”This Void Realm is truly remarkable.”

”If we cultivate in this place for a long time, we might indeed have a chance to advance to Mahayana.”

”It seems we still need to obtain an identity token in the Void Realm, otherwise, it’s impossible to move forward.”

”That’s right, even Fellow Daoist Lu has received an identity token, so there probably won’t be any big issues.”

”If a major problem does occur, we can just flee back to the Star Sect.”

”True, compared to the opportunity to reach Mahayana, everything else is just minor.”

Many Integration Cultivators felt incredibly excited.

Despite their high talent as cultivators of the Star Sect, they were not confident they could advance to Mahayana.

Countless prodigies in history have been trapped at this stage, unable to break through even when their Lifespan ran out.

But after arriving in the Void Realm, they found a glimmer of hope to advance to Mahayana.

Each of them felt extremely fortunate to have accepted the Void Realm’s task, otherwise, they wouldn’t have encountered such an opportunity.

Immediately, they made the decision to obtain an identity token in the Void Realm, facilitating their actions within it.

......

Primordial Talisman Sect, Primordial Secret Realm, a palace.

This is where Lu Youyou resides, a Holy Land for Alchemy.

It is completely constructed from thousand-year warm jade and purple-gold essence stone, with its architectural layers resembling a lotus, and the eaves and corners adorned with Luminous Pearls, softly illuminating through the billowing pill mist, making the entire palace seem ethereal and dream-like.

As the residence and pill room of a Body Integration Realm alchemy Grandmaster, every inch of this place is imbued with the fusion of Alchemy Dao and cultivation, with mysterious runes wandering like living creatures, and the fragrances of pill and Spirit Medicine intertwining into a web, embodying Grandmaster-level profundity and the enigmatic allure of a mystical secret realm.

The main entrance of the palace is composed of two gigantic purple-gold doors, carved with spiraling Spirit Vein dragons, with fine-grade spirit jade embedded between the dragon scales, and ancient alchemical runes inscribed on each scale by Integration Cultivators using their own Spiritual Power—these are ”Gathering Pill Patterns” that automatically gather the world’s pill energy when the door opens, causing the runes to radiate a pale golden glow accompanied by a deep hum, reminiscent of the resonance of a pill furnace or the pulse of a Spirit Vein.

On both sides of the gigantic door stand two stone statues of pill cauldrons, their bodies engraved with ”Alchemy Incantation” runes, around the cauldron mouths faintly linger purple mist, within which the illusionary silhouettes of Spirit Medicine can barely be discerned, nurtured by long-standing exposure to pill qi, forming spiritual grace from the sculptures.

Upon entering the hall, the first sight is a long corridor paved with Spirit Grass, flanked by walls sculpted from cold moon crystal stone, covered with dense mysterious runes, some resembling dancing flames, some like Spirit Grass stretching, others like the operation of pill furnaces, each rune flickering with dark purple light, marking ”Protective Pill Arrays” infused with Lu Youyou’s century-worth of Alchemy Dao comprehension and combined cultivation.

The runes do not remain static, but move slowly with the flow of pill qi inside the hall, occasionally colliding to burst into tiny sparks, which nurture dewy droplets on the Spirit Grass on the floor, and as the droplets fall, they transform into gentle fragrance, intertwining with the ambient pill aroma.

At the end of the corridor hangs a plaque inscribed with the ancient characters ”Profound Alchemy Dao,” the writing crafted from cinnabar mixed with cultivator’s Essence Blood, its pen stroke surrounded by light pill fire aura, with faint sounds of pill furnace operation emanating from behind the plaque.

Passing through the corridor, you arrive at the core of the palace—the Danchen Main Hall, the place for Grandmaster alchemy.

The dome of the main hall, vast like a starry sky, is inlaid with hundreds of Spirit Crystals arranged in the form of an Alchemy Dao Bagua, each crystal emitting a soft pill light, illuminating the entire hall.

The inner wall of the dome is covered with ”Essence Pill Runes,” as they circulate, continuously gathering the world’s Spiritual Qi and pill energy, channeling it down in a stream of pale purple spiritual energy to the pill furnace below.

At the center of the main hall stands a mysterious pill furnace towering a dozen feet high, named ”Void Purple Flame Cauldron,” its body made of a blend of meteorite iron and purple gold refined essence, adorned with extremely complex runes, the outer layer inscribed with ”Sky-burning Alchemy Patterns,” the inner layer with ”Gathering Spirit Essence Patterns,” its handles shaped like spiritual cranes holding pearls, and its legs formed by three-headed spiritual turtles, with their backs also carved full of protective furnace runes.

Surrounding the pill furnace is a gentle purple pill fire, ”Purple Mansion Pill Fire” refined by Integration Cultivators, its flames gentle yet containing boundless power, capable of refining top-grade spirit medicine while protecting the pill body from scorching.

The lid of the pill furnace is embedded with a pigeon blood red Spirit Crystal, sealing within a strand of a Grandmaster’s natal pill qi, which lights up with the operation of the furnace, as the runes circulate, the cauldron mouth emits a rich pill fragrance that is not a sharp medicinal smell, but warm and mellow, inhaling it brings refreshment and makes Spiritual Power operate more smoothly, benefiting even Void Refining Cultivators who linger long in this place.
