Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

After drinking the strangely transformed porridge in one gulp, Chen Tian felt as if a fire had ignited within him, making his body incredibly hot.

It was as if Chen Tian's body had become a furnace, with scorching flames raging inside his stomach.

Chen Tian didn't adjust in time, and his body swayed a few times, looking as if he was about to be burned to death by the intense heat.

But just at this critical moment, the old man suddenly flashed to Chen Tian's side, pulled out the stopper of the gourd at his waist, and poured something into Chen Tian's mouth.

Surprisingly, what had just been poured out of the gourd were extraordinary Xuan-grade spirit pills. Yet now, what was poured into Chen Tian's mouth had become a stream of clear spring water.

One moment it was pills, the next it was clear spring water, as if this gourd contained everything!

However, Chen Tian had no time to pay attention to these things, because an extremely strange transformation was taking place within his body.

The raging fire that had been burning was instantly extinguished after Chen Tian drank the clear spring water, and then turned into streams of gentle and docile pure spiritual energy, constantly nourishing Chen Tian's meridians.

At this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have returned to being an infant, basking in his mother's womb, carefree and enjoying gentle care.

Chen Tian had come a long way, enduring many hardships that others could not imagine, and swallowing many tears of unwillingness and regret.

But at this moment, all emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment had vanished without a trace. A profound and peaceful warmth enveloped Chen Tian's entire body.

After a long while, Chen Tian finally recovered from this mysterious and profound feeling, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze once again revealed his previous firmness and coldness.

At this time, Chen Tian's cultivation had already crossed the early stage of the Transformation Spring realm and reached the middle stage!

However, Chen Tian's face did not show too much joy, but instead fell into contemplation.

You should know that the immortal-grade spirit pill was a cold-natured pill. Miss Li from the Li family suffered terribly because of it back then.

But what made Chen Tian strange was that when this spirit pill, which exuded bursts of cold air, fell into the porridge, it changed its properties and became extremely hot. If the old man hadn't rescued him in time, Chen Tian would have been in mortal danger this time.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian looked up at the old man and found that he had poured out a bowl of wine from somewhere, eating salted vegetables and taking small sips, looking very content.

Chen Tian frowned and asked, "Senior, what exactly was the porridge you asked me to drink just now?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the old man immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile, "Boy, let me ask you, with your current cultivation, how long would it take to refine an immortal-grade spirit pill?"

Chen Tian did not expect the old man to ask such a strange question. He was stunned for a moment and then replied, "It would probably take three to five years."

When Chen Tian was still in the Brahma Sect, he had refined a pseudo-immortal pill.

If it hadn't been for the joint help of Qin Yi and the essence fire vein, Chen Tian would have needed half a year or a year to completely refine the pseudo-immortal pill.

So, based on this speculation, it would take Chen Tian at least three to five years to refine a true immortal pill.

However, Chen Tian still didn't understand why this old man would ask him such a question.

After figuring all this out, Chen Tian nodded secretly, then looked at the old man again and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior, for this generous gift. Junior is extremely grateful."

Chen Tian knew that all of this was a gift from this mysterious old man.

And this also released a signal, that is, this old man had no malice towards Chen Tian.

After understanding all this, Chen Tian's vigilance eased slightly.

The old man had been observing Chen Tian from beginning to end. Seeing that his brows had relaxed, the old man smiled slightly, then picked up his wine glass and drank again.

Chen Tian put down his worries, so he had nothing to worry about. He sat down opposite the old man, snatched the wine glass from the old man's hand, and took a big gulp like he was familiar with him.

The old man was stunned when he saw Chen Tian's straightforward appearance, then patted his thigh and laughed, "Haha, happy! Happy! I didn't expect you to be more interesting than I thought, not bad, a promising child!"

After drinking the strong wine in the glass, Chen Tian let out a long breath, put down the glass, and said to the old man, "Okay, Senior, now you should explain your intention. What exactly is the matter that you specifically came to find Junior for?"

The old man didn't rush to speak after hearing this, but instead took the wine glass back from Chen Tian's hand, filled it with the gourd, took a small sip, and showed an intoxicated expression, then slowly said, "Do you... want to reach the凝海境 (Níng hǎi jìng -凝: congeal, solidify, condense; 海: sea, ocean; 境: boundary, state, realm. Thus, the Congealing Sea Realm)?"

"What? The Congealing Sea Realm?"

Although Chen Tian had already been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the old man's words.

The Congealing Sea Realm is the realm that countless cultivators dream of, who wouldn't want to cultivate to the Congealing Sea Realm?

Although he had been suspecting it from the beginning, Chen Tian was even more certain at this time that the old man in front of him was unfathomable, and his cultivation might far exceed ordinary Congealing Sea Realm cultivators.

Even more so, an incredible idea arose in Chen Tian's heart, that is, the old man's realm might have reached the筑天境 (Zhù tiān jìng - 筑: to build, construct; 天: heaven, sky; 境: boundary, state, realm. Thus, the Foundation Building Realm)!

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Tian asked the old man, "Then please give me some guidance, Senior. What exactly should Junior do to reach the Congealing Sea Realm?"
