Chapter 0220
Refining a Jindan required the Great Way of Immortality Art . As the spiritual qi was drawn bit by bit into the body, it would be sucked into the power of the Jindan, and then essentialized and compressed . It would be attached to the Jindan, purified of any inferior qualities through burning .
The quality of one's Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art, the quality of one's Jindan, and the density of the spiritual qi all directly affected the rate of Jindan refining .
The resources available to Shushan Immortal Sect disciples, whether Jindan Condensation Wondrous Arts or spiritual qi, far surpassed others, and so their cultivation rate at the Jindan Dao Realm was ferocious .
Wu Yu's Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art and Jindan quality were all of sublime quality . But after leaving Shushan, the spiritual qi was far more sparse .
However, just like the Qi Condensation Realm, one could also use immortal medicines and immortal essences to supplement the Jindan refinery . Between them, immortal medicines were more effective .
Spirit Concentration Pills and Golden Essence Pills both had supporting effects on cultivation, although their actual effects differed . Spirit Concentration Pills condensed spiritual sources, while Golden Essence Pills refined Jindan . As a comparison, condensing each spiritual source required a couple of dozen Spirit Concentration Pills to complete, as long as one's body could endure it .
But to refine Jindan to another level, it required many more Golden Essence Pills . Furthermore, the higher one's Jindan level, the greater the requirement! To use Golden Essence Pills alone to temper one's Jindan was not a practical course . First of all, even ordinary Shushan disciples could not endure such a drain . Plus, Golden Essence Pills were expensive treasures, and there were also many other cultivation resources that one needed to buy .
Moreover, using spiritual qi over a long time to temper one's Jindan would make one's Jindan firmer . If one's foundation was not sturdy, then even pouring in copious amounts of Golden Essence Pills would temper the Jindan in an unstable way . One's Jindan might even explode . Once the Jindan exploded, the martial cultivator would be dead without question .
That was why using Golden Essence Pills or other immortal medicines and essences to refine one's Jindan had a limit . And this limit differed from individual to individual . Ordinarily, the higher one's Jindan quality, the more developed one's processing abilities were, and the higher this limit .
Wu Yu's white Jindan, combined with the strength of the Great Way of Immortality Art, meant that his limit was a lot higher than Nangong Wei's . He was confident about this .
Normally, one could sense the limit approaching if one used too many Golden Essence Pills . And if one did not give up, and continued to seek strength through Golden Essence Pill tempering, then the Jindan would destabilize, and there would a high chance of an accident occurring .
Of course, such a problem did not exist for the majority of martial cultivators, because they would not even have so many Golden Essence Pills .
And now, in Wu Yu's hand, he had those that he had obtained from the Ninth Spirit, as well as those that Futu Hall had given out at his initiation .
Under circumstances where the spiritual qi was insufficient, he had to use Golden Essence Pills . Wu Yu did not hesitate to consume the first Golden Essence Pill .
Golden Essence Pills were even more violent than Spirit Concentration Pills . The power they contained was more than a thousand times that of Spirit Concentration Pills . The ingredients needed to refine Golden Essence Pills were basically all immortal essences with spiritual marks . As the Golden Essence Pill entered his body, he could feel the molten lava eating through his insides as it trickled through his body . Clearly, using Golden Essence Pills also required a tenacious body .
As the power of the Golden Essence Pill burnt and gripped Wu Yu's body, he endured the pain and used the Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art of the Great Way of Immortality Art to start up his white Jindan . As the white Jindan began to spin, it formed a vortex that began to consume the power of the Golden Essence Pill, converting it to an essence . Through repeated passes, the immortal fire became one with the Jindan, and it was converted into Wu Yu's own Jindan essence . The majority was discarded as waste - it was burnt clean off by the immortal fire and dissipated as green smoke .
While tempering one's Jindan, one's own immortal fire also made a big difference . Especially this white immortal fire, which was extremely powerful; once it started to burn, it was like a nightmare for the Golden Essence Pill, which was readily consumed to completion by the immortal fire . The essential portion became one with the white Jindan after repeated tempering .
"Refining my Jindan is truly not easy . A majority of the Golden Essence Pill is wasted energy, but that portion has to be wasted because it is unable to become the purest Jindan essence .
"When tempering Jindan, one cannot be hasty . "
After expending one Golden Essence Pill, Wu Yu was composed . He knew that the refining the pill through the Great Way of Immortality Art would prevent any impurities from being absorbed . Such was the power of the highest quality Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art .
Of course, he was clear that even if the Great Way of Immortality Art had no limit, he had to set a limit for himself .
Now that he had just reached Jindan, he could afford to be a little more lax . Following this, he consecutively used all the Golden Essence Pills, tempering his Jindan with them . After he was done, his Jindan was close to twice as strong as it had previously been . However, he was at most 20% of the way to the second tier of Jindan . It was not so easy to refine one's Jindan purely through Golden Essence Pills .
A quick count told him that five days had passed .
At this time, the golden flames that had obscured Wu Yu's entire body finally winked out, and Nangong Wei finally saw him . She was sitting on the ground, her face cupped in her hands . "Big Brother, you're too serious . Wei Er is really bored . "
Now that he was out of Golden Essence Pills, it was hard for him to fulfill his goal to become stronger within these three months . If he cultivated here, it would be a waste of time . Wu Yu stood up, saying, "There must be many sects and bountiful places within the divine continent . Countless treasures never discovered, and the remnants of innumerable martial cultivators since the beginning of time left untouched . Let's go walk around to see if there's anything interesting . "
"So we're treasure hunting!" Nangong Wei's eyes lit up .
"That's right . "
Of course, treasure hunting was a test of luck . Wu Yu knew that the chances were low, but at least it was a better shot than remaining here .
If he really could not, then he would just have to steal Sumeru Pouches from those martial cultivators he met and took a disliking to . . . .
He let Nangong Wei mount her own sword . Side by side, they flew low through the air . They passed mountains, rivers, and lakes, skimming past them on their swords . Wu Yu was looking for any signs below, while Nangong Wei was enjoying herself, and even making Wu Yu play catch with her .
