C1 Phyllodes

The Immortal Yuan Continent. The Supreme Sect.

Within a brightly lit palace, a youth was seated in the lotus position. At this moment, a faint glow that could be seen with the naked eye appeared around his body. It was as if a mysterious and unfathomable energy was surging into his thin body.

In front of the youth was a pill furnace that was about half the height of a person. Under the pill furnace was a blazing fire, and the fragrance of medicine wafted out from the furnace and lingered in the hall.

The young man's name was Ye Daoxuan.

A few years ago, he was sent to the Supreme Sect by his clan's elders from thousands of miles away. Together with the ambitious youths from the Blessed Paradises, he participated in the training of the outer sect disciples of the Supreme Sect. Because of his innate longevity, even the Sect Leader was shocked by his peerless talent and thus, Ye Daoxuan directly emerged from the tens of thousands of participants to become an outer sect disciple of the Supreme Sect.

Logically speaking, with Ye Daoxuan's unparalleled talent, after cultivating in the mysterious technique for a period of time, the Longevity Seed in his aurasea would evolve into a star, and thus step into the first step of cultivation. However, after many years had passed, the outer sect disciples that had entered the Supreme One Sect with Ye Daoxuan had already stepped into an even higher realm, and those with better aptitudes had even entered the inner sect to cultivate. Only Ye Daoxuan had remained calm and unmoving, without any signs of evolution!

When a cultivator reached the age of sixteen, if the Immortal Dao seed within his body had yet to evolve, it would mean that he had no fate with the Martial Dao. Since Ye Daoxuan had reached this age this year, for some reason, he was unable to break through, causing the Sect Master and the other elders to give up on cultivating him.

It was obvious that the main hall was a pill room, and inside the pill furnace was some sort of pill concocting.

His face was calm, and when he opened and closed his eyes, there was a sense of majesty. It was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time, and behind him, there was a hidden profound and obscure aura that rose and fell, causing him to appear extremely deep and unfathomable.

At this moment, this old man, who had a high status, was completely engrossed in watching the changes in the pill furnace.

The size of the fire needed to be strictly controlled. Even if there was the slightest mistake, the entire furnace of Spirit Dans could be destroyed just like that, and the price paid for that was incomparably huge. Because this cauldron of Spirit Dans was the pill he had personally prepared for Ye Daoxuan, the ancient forbidden pill — the Absolute God Pill!

Its effect was to allow a cultivator to break through their shackles and evolve into a star, thus turning into a dragon gate and giving birth to all sorts of wondrous sights.

In order to successfully refine it, one would have to have the blood essence of a pill refiner as an offering in addition to all sorts of other treasures in the world. No one would be able to interfere, and no matter how powerful one was, they would not be able to move mountains or move the seas; otherwise, they would have to face endless calamities.

At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly appeared within the pill furnace. Soon after, green smoke curled up, accompanied with a dragon roar, and a scorched and pungent smell that immediately scattered the faint glow that lingered around Ye Daoxuan's body. The veins on his forehead began to twitch, causing his body to continuously tremble, as if he was enduring a pain that was difficult to put into words.

As he lifted his hand, a gentle light emitted out. The medicinal fragrance overflowed and shone on Ye Daoxuan's body, and under the light, the chaotic aura within Ye Daoxuan's body gradually began to calm down.

After an incense stick of time, the green smoke finally completely disappeared. Finally, it disappeared from this world.

"Master Xie, this Absolute God Pill … Did I succeed? " Ye Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the childish looking old man in front of him as he asked with expectation.

Hearing this question, the Tong Yan old man's expression darkened. He shook his head and said: "It is said that after the Spirit Severing Pill is formed, it will give birth to a scene where dragons and tigers intersect. The medicinal fragrance spanned ten miles. "Xuan'er, I'm afraid this old man will be powerless against your dao of cultivation …"

When Ye Daoxuan heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. His eyes dimmed as he thought about how many days of hard work and hope had gone to waste.

In this world, the path of cultivation began with the human body.

There were countless meridians in the human body, and all sorts of treasures and divine abilities were hidden inside. When a cultivator absorbed a large amount of the energy of heaven and earth into their body, over the years, they would develop an Esoteric Immortality Dao Seed inside their body, and at this point, as long as the water reaches a certain point, the Esoteric Immortality Dao seed could absorb the sun and moon, and after transforming into a star, one could step into the eternal Dao that countless people yearned for!

This was the Dao Realm, the beginning of all cultivation.

Cultivators who absorbed the energy of heaven and earth while they harvested the stars and moon would possess thousands of supernatural powers. Those who were able to create good fortune would be able to steal Yin and Yang and live for tens of thousands of years, thus they were also known as eternal martial artists.

It didn't matter if you were immortal or peerless, you were still an ant!

Even the seniors who had previously treated him with respect felt that it was too much for them to let him go, while in the entire Supreme One Sect, only Xie Canghai, who was standing in front of him, still cherished and protected him. Although his cultivation was not high, because of his status as a pharmacist, his status and treatment in the Supreme Sect was comparable to that of the elders.

If that wasn't the case, then he, Ye Daoxuan, would have already been removed from the list.

When Master Xie saw the gloom on Ye Daoxuan's face, he could not bear to see it anymore. He sighed and said, "For the past few years, I have exhausted all my knowledge, but I was still unable to solve the problem of your cultivation. As for the path of pill refining, this old man is at a loss. However, Xuan'er, you don't have to continue to be depressed. If you can find the most mysterious Immortal medicine – the Resurrection Lily and use the Power of Samsara to cleanse your body, then there might be a one in a million chance … "

Ye Daoxuan was already disappointed. When he heard these words, he felt as if he was grabbing onto the last straw. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "The Resurrection Lily? Where is it? "

Master Xie was silent for a moment, then said with a reminiscent look in his eyes, "This old man once saw a certain ancient scripture in the church. When the Saints founded the Supreme Sect in the ancient era, they held the Resurrection Lily in their hands and preached to it. "Later on, in the last years of the Primordial Era, when the Saints did not appear, they would live in seclusion in the depths of the Golden Mountain Range, where the Supreme Sect Leader entered the depths of the Golden Mountain Range several times but was unable to find the Saints' treasure. If you have a deep source of fortune, you can go and try..."

"The depths of the Golden Mountain Range huh …" Ye Daoxuan wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and stood up. A strange light flashed in his eyes, "As long as you can help me step into the Dao of cultivation, then I will also go and try out the Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild in front of me!"

Over the past few years, Ye Daoxuan had constantly experienced the feeling of living a life worse than death. After lying dormant for a long time, his mind and mental strength had been honed to a level that ordinary people could not achieve.

However, when Ye Daoxuan heard Master Xie's words, he was unable to maintain his emotions. The blood in his body seemed to boil up, causing his eyes to turn blood-red. His delicate and pretty face actually looked somewhat sinister at this moment.

Master Xie looked at him and stroked Ye Daoxuan's head pitifully, saying, "You were born with the Esoteric Immortality Pill. You should have been stunning and contending with the heavens for good fortune! Going to the Golden Mountain Range to try your luck would be fine, but, if you can't rush back in time for the competition a few days later, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you … "

Ye Daoxuan knew that Master Xie's words weren't fear-mongering. If the outer sect disciples' competition were to begin in a few days' time and he was unable to participate, then according to the rules, he might really be expelled.

In the past, when he became a disciple of the Supreme Sect, the entire clan placed great hopes on him. If the clan knew that he had been demoted to a medicine boy because he could not step into the martial way, and could not find an opportunity to break through, then even Master Xie would not be able to protect himself. If he were to be rushed home, then what would welcome him would be cold eyes, cold faces, and sarcastic words.

With that in mind, Ye Daoxuan bowed deeply towards Master Xie before walking to the west corner of the hall. He picked up a large medicine basket and placed it on his back before striding out of the medicine hall.

As he left the pill room, a chilly mountain breeze blew across his face. Ye Daoxuan's depressed and dispirited spirit was immediately lifted.

"I, Ye Daoxuan, hereby swear that within three years, if I am unable to become an eternal martial artist, I will be willing to accept the Thousand Hammers, and not even my bones will remain!"

Ye Daoxuan stood at the peak of the mountain, gripping his palms tightly. He stared at the innumerable immortal peaks as countless emotions surged in his eyes.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and rubbed his face. He took a few deep breaths of the incomparably fresh air of this world before walking down the stone steps one step at a time, facing the rising sun.
