C20 Imperishable Golden Body Spell

After several minutes, the embryonic form of a Pill materialized within the flames. It steadily drew in the surrounding fire, shaping its form.

Moments later, an abrupt explosion echoed as a beam of red light burst forth from the Pill Cauldron. The room was bathed in a brilliant blood-red hue, dazzling to behold.

Upon witnessing this, a smile crept across Zhuang Xing's face. He recognized the red light as an odd phenomenon, signaling the emergence of a Top Grade Pill. This meant that the Pill he was crafting would indeed be of the highest quality.

For Zhuang Xing, known as the Pill God, failing to produce a Top Grade Pill would be the world's greatest farce. The Spirit Essence Pill he was working on was merely a Rank Two Pill. With his mastery of the Pill Refining Arts, he was certain he could successfully create such a Pill.

Suddenly, Zhuang Xing noticed the Pill Cauldron beginning to shake violently. A fearsome energy surged from within the Spirit Essence Pill. The Pill Cauldron appeared to be on the brink of bursting, unable to contain the overwhelming power.

Shaking his head, Zhuang Xing recalled that he had retrieved this particular Pill Cauldron from the Pill Room. It was a common cauldron, suitable only for crafting Rank One and Rank Two Pills. To attempt Rank Three or higher with such a cauldron would be futile.

A Rank Two Top Grade Pill was far more valuable than a Rank Three Middle Grade Pill. Refining such a high-quality Pill with a common cauldron posed significant challenges. Any lapse in attention could result in the cauldron's explosion, leading to a failed refinement process.

"It looks like he needs to acquire a better Pill Cauldron," he mused.

As Zhuang Xing gazed at the cauldron, he was reminded of the divine cauldron he had used in the past. When he refined Pills with that cauldron, the results were exceptional.

Confronted with the Pill Cauldron's erratic behavior, Zhuang Xing had his own methods to counteract it. He had encountered numerous cauldron explosions during previous refinement sessions. Thus, he swiftly adjusted the flames, channeling a potent force into the Pill to create a protective barrier. This would safeguard the Pill from excessive force, preventing any damage to the Pill itself.

The process continued for some time when, suddenly, the Pill Cauldron burst into a bright red glow. A Pill radiating a dazzling light gently emerged. It released an unusual fragrance that was refreshing and soothing to the senses.

The refinement of the top-grade Spirit Essence Pill was a success.

Zhuang Xing seized the Pill for inspection and nodded in approval. Both its composition and quality had attained optimal conditions. Utilizing it to practice the Imperishable Golden Body Spell promised to yield the most ideal results.

Having completed the Pill refinement, Zhuang Xing took a brief respite. He stored the Pill Cauldron and various other items back into his Storage Ring. Once he had adjusted himself to peak condition, he settled down to meditate. Consuming the Spirit Essence Pill, he commenced his breakthrough in cultivation.

The raw energy required for the Imperishable Golden Body Spell was incredibly potent. Despite being processed into a Pill, the effects remained fiercely intense. As soon as the Pill entered Zhuang Xing's system, he began to quiver. A formidable power was unleashed, permeating his bloodstream. It surged through his circulation, swiftly spreading throughout his entire body.

Zhuang Xing's body shook uncontrollably as the medicinal strength of the Spirit Essence Pill coursed through him. The pain was akin to being scorched by flames. His clothing disintegrated in moments, exposing his reddened skin.

This sensation was entirely new to him. In his past life, he had never encountered such a feeling while practicing this Magic Spell. Back then, his cultivation was considerably advanced when he acquired the Spell, rendering the first three levels of the Imperishable Golden Body Spell effortless. However, his current circumstances were markedly different. His present level of cultivation was quite feeble, his body not nearly robust enough, and his Spiritual Force lacking. Consequently, cultivating the Magic Spell was fraught with challenges and exceptionally arduous.

Yet, there was a silver lining. The sooner he began practicing the Magic Spell, the more formidable his physique would become. With a more solid foundation, once he achieved the same level of cultivation as in his past life, his combat prowess was certain to surpass his previous capabilities by a significant margin.

Zhuang Xing clenched his jaw and activated the Imperishable Golden Body Spell, beginning to draw on the medicinal power within his body to fortify his physique and advance beyond the current limits of the spell.

To his surprise, he realized that the Fire Phoenix Spell within him had started to operate on its own, siphoning off some of the energy and directing it toward his dantian. "What's happening?" Zhuang Xing was initially startled but then filled with elation as he recognized this as a sign of a breakthrough in his cultivation. He was on the verge of ascending to the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Two Heaven.

The air around him seemed to validate his thoughts, swirling violently and rushing into his body. His dantian roiled intensely as streams of Spiritual Force bubbled up and swiftly coursed through his body, circulating in concentric patterns and layers.

After a quarter of an hour, a formidable power burst forth from within him, his aura now far more potent than before, unmistakably signifying his arrival at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Two Heaven.

Zhuang Xing was inwardly astonished by this development. He had intended to use the Spirit Essence Pill to practice the first level of the Imperishable Golden Body Spell, not anticipating his own cultivation to leap forward first. This was a serendipitous windfall.

Without dwelling on it, Zhuang Xing continued to channel the Imperishable Golden Body Spell, harnessing the pill's medicinal strength to invigorate his flesh and reinforce his physique.

This endeavor was far from straightforward. Even though the Pill Refining Arts had significantly shortened the time required for such breakthroughs, Zhuang Xing estimated that, given his physical condition, it would still take three full days and nights to completely assimilate the Spirit Essence Pill's potency and enhance his body.

Refining bones and tempering the body was a grueling and challenging process, one that demanded unwavering resolve to achieve success.

The three days flew by, and Zhuang Xing remained still as a statue in his room, diligently employing the Imperishable Golden Body Spell to refine the medicinal power of the Spirit Essence Pill, fortifying his sinews and bones.

Then, without warning, an overwhelming force burst forth from the room, shaking it as mightily as ocean waves during a storm, making the entire house quiver as though in the grip of an earthquake.

"I've finally succeeded."

Bursting out of the house with a face full of excitement, his body radiated a yellowish-gold hue—a testament to the formidable physique forged by the Imperishable Golden Body Spell.

"Let's test out my new strength."

Zhuang Xing gripped his fist and launched a punch at a nearby tree. A surge of immense power was unleashed, and with a resounding boom, the tree splintered under the force of his blow.

"This power is incredible."
