C536 Blood Rejuvenation Elixir!
A vibrant pill, the size of a walnut, lay serenely in Yu Yuan's palm. The pill was a radiant red and, when magnified many times, resembled a slumbering little spirit, occasionally puffing up as if taking even breaths. Wisps of spiritual energy, carrying the scent of pine, wafted from this "little spirit," refreshing the heart and soul with a single inhalation.
Named the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir, this pill was a third-level earthly concoction. Earthly pills were typically suited for cultivators in the Subtlety and Lunar Spirit realms, packed with vitality and spiritual energy that could soothe the soul. However, the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir stood apart. It was exclusively effective for those in the Veil Breaking realm, solely aiding in the perfection of their vitality within their little world.
An earthly-level pill designed for lower realm cultivators certainly possessed unique qualities. There were three Blood Rejuvenation Elixirs in total, but they weren't originally prepared by Yu Yuan. Rather, they were placed there decades earlier by someone else, likely intended for his future successors.
Refining the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir wasn't inherently challenging; many herbalists from the Order of Healing were capable of doing so. The real challenge lay in the collection of the magic items required. Gathering all nine types of herbs that could enhance vitality was no small feat. Additionally, there were over a dozen types of medicinal liquids to collect, a task complicated by their sheer variety.
Three hundred years prior, the reason Yu Yuan had not managed to refine the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir and had instead stored it in the secret chamber was due to a period when the Order of Healing, the Skyreach Consortium, and various other sects were fervently collecting the nine types of herbs needed for the elixir. Coincidentally, during that time, the climate across the three continents was unusually harsh, leading to poor harvests of two specific herbs essential for the elixir's creation.
As a result, as soon as these two herbs were ripe, they were swiftly secured by the herbalists of the Skyreach Consortium and Ebon Star, leaving the Order of Healing empty-handed. After all, one cannot refine a pill out of thin air, just as even the most skilled cook cannot prepare a meal without rice.
The absence of certain herbs prevented Yu Yuan from crafting the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir before his reincarnation, a fact he shared with deep regret to his two closest confidants.
On Celestial Isle, within the hall where myriad herbs were sold, he had spotted the key ingredients needed for the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir. Three centuries ago, these herbs were scarce, but now they were readily available through the Skyreach Consortium.
Yu Yuan had counted on the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir as the crucial pill to aid in the refinement of the Sunsorrow from the giant beast, which would in turn transform the acupoints of his Profound Gate. Without this elixir, however, his plans would be thwarted. This pill was essential for compensating for deficiencies within the little world of vitality, fortifying it, repairing any damage, and delivering swift and noticeable results.
During the refinement process, the overwhelming vital energy from the giant beast would be unleashed in an instant. Yu Yuan was acutely aware that the little world of vitality within human cultivators was not like the robust constitution of evilkind; it simply couldn't withstand the immense outburst of vital energy from the Sunsorrow all at once.
The human race, inherently frail in physique, was a well-known fact among all superior intelligent life from beyond our world. Without gradually cleansing their bodies with spiritual energy, fortifying their bones, and conditioning their organs, humans would be incapable of accommodating the torrent of vital energy, even after unlocking the Profound Gate's acupoint.
Moreover, the essence of the cosmic giant beast's flesh and blood represented the most formidable source of vital energy known!
Yu Yuan needed the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir to swiftly mend and stabilize the ruptures within the little world of vitality as he broke down the Sunsorrow. This would ensure a controlled release and integration of the giant beast's vital energy, allowing for a gradual transformation and refinement of the Profound Gate's acupoint.
Now, to his surprise, the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir he had intended to create was already in his possession—and not just one, but three! With a single thought, he realized that his words of regret had resonated deeply with his friends, who had clearly taken them to heart.
With the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir in his possession, Yu Yuan felt no urgency to return to Celestial Isle. There was no longer a need to procure the medicinal herbs required to concoct the elixir on the island.
A radiant piece of Sunsorrow, the essence of a giant beast, burst forth from the Bracelet of Holding and materialized in his other palm.
Yu Yuan quietly activated the Nine Glories Wheel within the Golden Sanctum of his lower elixir field, where it seemed as though a sun was rising from the earth itself.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of sunfire burst forth from the little world within the Golden Sanctum, illuminating the once dim hall with a dazzling red glow, as if it were daylight, and the temperature skyrocketed.
The Nine Glories Wheel spun within the Golden Sanctum, casting a spectacular stream of light that danced like a divine rainbow.
This divine rainbow enveloped the lower elixir field, and threads of spiritual energy emerged, flowing through the meridians.
Chi!
A wisp of sunfire, ensnared by his pure spiritual energy, made first contact with the Sunsorrow.
Upon contact, the Sunsorrow was instantly set ablaze, unleashing a thunderous surge of vitality.
The entire hall was suddenly awash with the vibrant hues of a mysterious sea of life. As the Sunsorrow ignited, countless twinkling lights, the very essence of the Abyssal Leviathan, floated up, infusing the space with life force and the enigmatic power to command the forces of creation.
Yu Yuan inhaled deeply, his focus converging on the Profound Gate acupoint within his middle elixir field.
A powerful suction emerged from his chest, the seat of the little world of vitality, drawing in the scattered essence of the giant beast.
Boom!
A massive orb of light burst into existence within the little world of vitality, brimming with tumultuous energy that careened uncontrollably throughout the small universe, defying Yu Yuan's command.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the light orb, as large as a wheel, Yu Yuan recalled the cauldron spirit's teachings about the wondrous and intricate nature of the Sunsorrow. He knew all too well the challenges of refining and absorbing such a potent substance.
Yet, he couldn't fathom how the mere burning of a Sunsorrow could release vitality light spots that, upon entering his little world of vitality, became so terrifying!
How could a light spot no larger than a grain of rice become so immense and violent within the Profound Gate acupoint?
Before he had time to react, more essence from the giant beast's vitality began to vanish into his Profound Gate acupoint, twinkling like bright fireflies.
In just a few seconds, his little world of vitality brimmed with dozens of enormous light orbs!
Each orb pulsed with an incredibly exaggerated vitality force, akin to savage Fellbeasts rampaging wildly throughout his little world of vitality.
"The cosmic giant beast is indeed the most fearsome entity in existence!"
Yu Yuan groaned, his face contorted in a bitter smile.
Just a fragment of Sunsorrow, a mere fraction of the vitality essence, had transformed into raging Fellbeasts within his Profound Gate's little world!
How fearsome must the Abyssal Leviathan have been in its prime?
It's no wonder the cosmic giant beast was said to devour suns and moons, soar through the Star River, refine extraterrestrial stars, and greedily drain the spiritual energy from stars, leaving once vibrant celestial bodies utterly depleted.
"An aberrant being like the Abyssal Leviathan should never have emerged near the Everlands. It's no surprise it was jointly subdued by numerous ancient evilkinds." As Yu Yuan grappled with his shock, he noticed his little world teetering on the brink of collapse.
He swiftly redirected his thoughts, manipulating a cluster of sunfire, ceasing to ignite the Sunsorrow to prevent further seepage of the star-like vitality essence.
Meanwhile, he ingested a Blood Rejuvenation Elixir, immediately setting to work refining it upon entering his stomach.
The Elixir was rapidly melted down by the spiritual energy within, unlocking its potent medicinal effects.
The soothing, restorative energy of the Elixir circulated through the eight extra-channels, replenishing his little world of vitality.
Like a mountain stream, the medicinal energy of the Blood Rejuvenation Elixir flowed with a cool, moist, and gentle breeze, naturally seeking out and mending the areas damaged by the tumultuous light orbs.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Out of nowhere, the formidable power harnessed from the Sunsorrow of the giant beast began to wildly assault the Crucible of Evil.
Suspended in the little world of vitality, the Crucible of Evil was instantly turned into an outlet, relentlessly pounded by the glowing orbs of light.
