C15 Heaven Seizing Jade Spirit Liquid

From birth, everyone inevitably accumulates impurities within their bodies, a fact that even cultivators cannot escape. The medicinal liquid Xiao Yu intended to create was designed to purify the flesh and eradicate all internal contaminants, restoring the body to the pristine purity of a newborn.

This state is known as the Innate Realm. For cultivators, achieving this state could significantly accelerate their cultivation speed. However, the task of completely purging the body of impurities is far from simple. It is virtually impossible without attaining a profoundly advanced level of cultivation.

Xiao Yu's strategy involved using this medicinal liquid to expel the dark Qi from his system and enhance his constitution, as his innate talent for cultivation was exceptionally poor in this lifetime.

He began by placing a portion of the medicinal components, valued at two hundred thousand crystals, into a water tank. Xiao Yu then filled the tank with water and kindled a fire beneath it.

"Yuer, what are you up to?" Lin Yurou approached with a puzzled look upon seeing Xiao Yu's actions.

"Mother, I'm preparing to concoct a medicinal liquid," Xiao Yu replied with a smile.

He wasn't concerned about Lin Yurou discovering his plan; even a skilled alchemist would likely be baffled by his methods.

Modern alchemists are aware that medicinal ingredients should not be consumed raw due to their inherent toxicity. Even the most precious of spiritual medicines must undergo refinement before they can be safely ingested. This necessity is the very reason alchemists are valued in this world.

Yet, few remember that the earliest alchemists did not rely on a Medicine Furnace. Instead, they directly mixed various ingredients to neutralize harmful substances, making them safe for consumption without the need for refinement.

This ancient technique was quicker and had a lower risk of failure compared to traditional refining, but it also had its drawbacks. The resulting medicinal power was mixed, and its efficacy could not match that of the meticulously refined Pills.

Nevertheless, at the level Xiao Yu had achieved in his past life, he could effortlessly concoct ordinary medicinal liquids with an efficacy that rivaled that of refined Pills.

"Concocting a medicinal liquid?" Lin Yurou's confusion deepened. It was her first time hearing of such a process, and she couldn't grasp the concept of concocting a medicinal liquid.

As long as Xiao Yu was content, Lin Yurou refrained from further comment. She advised him to get some rest soon and left with a smile, leaving Xiao Yu to his own devices.

Night fell quickly, and Xiao Yu remained steadfastly by the vat, never straying. He busied himself with adding water or another herb, never pausing for a moment.

As dawn broke, the water in the vat had long evaporated, leaving behind a bowl's worth of liquid at the bottom. It was a translucent green, exuding beauty like a flowing piece of jade.

Xiao Yu retrieved a prepared jade bottle and carefully decanted the remaining liquid into it, filling exactly three bottles.

"Yuer, have you been up all night?"

Lin Yurou, having just woken up, was surprised to find Xiao Yu still at work. She approached him with a look of astonishment.

She was about to scold him when her eyes landed on the jade bottle in his hands. Through the nearly transparent bottle, she could see the captivating green liquid and was struck by its beauty.

Even though the liquid was now bottled, the scent of the medicine lingered, opening one's pores in a most relaxing way.

"Yuer, what is this?" Lin Yurou couldn't resist asking, feeling utterly enchanted by the aroma alone.

"This is the Heaven Seizing Jade Spirit Liquid," Xiao Yu explained, offering a bottle to Lin Yurou. "Consuming this liquid purges the body of all impurities, restoring it to the Innate Realm. Mother, taking a bottle will greatly benefit your health."

Each bottle contained just enough for one dose, and Xiao Yu had prepared three portions, one of which was intended for Lin Yurou.

Anyone, cultivator or not, stood to gain immense benefits from this liquid. Minor ailments and pains would vanish after its use.

"The Innate Realm of the body?" Even the typically composed Lin Yurou was taken aback by the revelation.

The concept of an Innate Body was legendary among cultivators. While it was widely recognized, no one had ever been known to achieve it.

Lin Yurou received the jade bottle with a healthy dose of skepticism. She trusted Xiao Yu not to deceive her, but the idea that he could produce such potent medicinal effects was hard to believe, especially since he had no background in alchemy. Could he really have concocted such a powerful medicinal liquid simply by boiling it in a water tank? Lin Yurou found it hard to accept.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yu would never harm her, and with a smile, Lin Yurou carefully stored the bottle away.

Once back at his residence, Xiao Yu wasted no time in consuming a bottle of the medicinal liquid and set about refining it. As he had anticipated, the liquid was incredibly effective against the black Qi within his body.

As the medicinal liquid worked its magic, the dense black Qi within Xiao Yu rapidly dissipated until it vanished completely. Moreover, his physical body underwent a purification, expelling all impurities through his pores.

"Innate Body!" Xiao Yu exclaimed.

He tested his newfound strength and found that his cultivation speed had significantly accelerated, now several times faster than before. In terms of cultivation speed alone, he was on par with the most talented of geniuses.

The Innate Body was a state many yearned for, and having achieved it, Xiao Yu's innate talent was now truly exceptional, even without considering the black Qi.

Despite the miraculous nature of the medicinal liquid, it was costly, requiring nearly a hundred thousand crystal stones' worth of ingredients, and Xiao Yu's personal touch in the concoction. Such an opportunity was beyond the reach of most, even if they had the resources.

"With my current physical condition, and by using the Spirit-gathering Talisman to boost my cultivation, I should be able to form a third Spirit River in no time," Xiao Yu mused, quite pleased with himself.

He then took out the Talisman embryo he had purchased and began to inscribe it. With his current level of power, crafting the Spirit-gathering Talisman was effortless, and his success rate was astonishingly perfect. In less than half a day, he had inscribed a full hundred Spirit-gathering Talismans.

"After receiving half a million crystals, it's best to get these Spirit-gathering Talismans carved as soon as possible for peace of mind." Xiao Yu stored the hundred Spirit-gathering Talismans and immediately began cultivating with one of them.

Xiao Yu's cultivation continued relentlessly over the following days. His physical body had attained the Innate Realm, and with a Spirit-gathering Talisman, his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.

Within ten days, Xiao Yu had successfully formed the third Spirit River within him, advancing to the third level of the Spirit Origin Stage!

Condensing a Spirit River in just ten days was an achievement that would drive many to envy. Typically, advancing from the second to the third level would take at least a year, if not several. Even a prodigy would need more than half a year, yet Xiao Yu had done it in a mere ten days!

Despite this remarkable feat, Xiao Yu felt only modestly satisfied with his progress.

"Yuer, come out quickly, someone is here to see you."

Xiao Yu had only just achieved his breakthrough when he heard Lin Yurou's voice outside his door.

"Someone is looking for me?" Xiao Yu wondered.

If it were a member of the Lin Family, they certainly wouldn't have asked Lin Yurou to summon him, as they were the true hosts here. But if it wasn't the Lin Family, who could be seeking him out at their residence?
