First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 111: Return to the Dan Tower (Seeking Subscriptions)

It has only been two months since Shen Mo last broke through to the Qi Gathering stage.

This cultivation speed is considered quite fast among inner disciples.

"But compared to true geniuses, it is still incomparable."

Shen Mo did not become complacent because of this.

Because his goal has never been those low-level cultivators, but rather to compete with the likes of Lu Ming and Xiao Ling'er, who possess natural spiritual bodies.

Their cultivation speed will not be slower than Shen Mo's.

In fact, not long after Lu Ming returned to the sect from the Mountain and River Realm, he broke through to the Second Heaven of Qi Gathering.

Through the sound transmission talisman, Shen Mo learned that Lu Ming had gained a lot from his recent two instances of running dungeons with senior brothers in the sect.

It is likely that he will reach the Third Heaven of Qi Gathering soon.

If Shen Mo wants to catch up to such geniuses, he cannot be satisfied with this cultivation speed. After all, he can no longer be considered a youth due to his age.

"The Heavenly Mountain Convention is still five months away. If there is a chance, I also want to strive for it."

Although Shen Mo didn't have much ambition when he learned from the peak master that he and Lu Ming had been arranged to participate in the Heavenly Mountain Convention, where the newly promoted disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects would compete, he couldn't help but want it if there was a chance to become famous and renowned.

At this moment, his expectations were low, but there was still a faint desire in his heart.

"Even if I can't surpass all the geniuses from the Five Great Immortal Sects at the Heavenly Mountain Convention, at the very least, I cannot become the bottom, becoming a foil for the geniuses."

"Otherwise, not only would I disappoint the title of a transmigrator, but also the encounter of carrying the destiny panel."

After consolidating his cultivation in the cave, Shen Mo left the mountain at night.

He flew towards the Pill Domain on his sword.

"The Harmonizing Pill and Soul Nurturing Pill have both reached the pinnacle of expertise. It's time to break some records!"

At night, the Pill Domain was still bustling with people and brightly lit.

On the central square, many alchemists were exchanging their experiences in pill refining, and there were also stalls along the street selling medicinal ingredients for pill refining.

However, there were not many people in the area of the Dan Tower.

After arriving at the Dan Tower, Shen Mo didn't go to the central square to join in the fun. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he directly pushed open the Taiji stone door of the Dan Tower.

First floor.

Second floor.

Third floor.

Fourth floor!

Since the Harmonizing Pill and Soul Nurturing Pill are both second-grade spirit pills, their existence cannot be found on the lower level light screens.

He arrived at the fourth floor, where he finally found the light screen records for the assessment of these two pills.

"Let's begin!"

Taking a deep breath, he set up the pill cauldron on the fourth floor and then lit the charcoal fire to start refining pills.

With his previous experience, he was already familiar with the pill refining assessment.

[Harmonizing Pill: Second Grade]

[Record Holder: Zhao Lingyin]

[Narration: It took three hours to refine the pill, and it turned out to be a top-quality pill.]

[Soul Nurturing Pill: Second Grade]

[Record Holder: Zhao Lingyin]

[Narration: It took three hours to refine the pill, and it turned out to be a top-quality pill.]

The record holder for the two pills that Shen Mo wanted to break through was also Zhao Lingyin, who was known as the number one genius in the Pill Domain.

Shen Mo didn't feel guilty about this.

After all, she has so many records, and she probably won't notice if he breaks a few more.

But Shen Mo didn't know that the last time he broke her four basic pill records, it made Zhao Lingyin unable to sleep well for a long time.

She was obsessed with finding out how Shen Mo was able to refine top-quality pills at such a fast speed.

"A thousand-year Polygonum multiflorum."

"Mysterious Frost Blood Lotus."

"Nine-leafed Lustrous Glass Tree Root."

"Lava Red Earth Fruit"

He had already prepared the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Soul Nourishing Pill.

When the cauldron turned red and the temperature was right, he put all the spiritual herbs into it.

After an hour, when the herbs turned into liquid medicine, Shen Mo used a special alchemy technique to remove all the black impurities from the liquid.

Only the essence was left, carefully placed in a medicine box.

Then, he began to melt, condense, shape, and awaken the liquid medicine in the cauldron.

"Dang!"

His hand seals kept changing, and vibrant green wood fluorescence surrounded him.

Finally, following the hand seals, he infused them into the cauldron to help solidify the spiritual energy of the Soul Nourishing Pill that was about to be completed.

This was the technique of ascending spirit alchemy, the reward he obtained last time in the Tower of Spirits.

After a period of practice, Shen Mo had completely mastered it.

This technique not only accelerated the speed of pill formation but also ensured that the finished pill had a better spiritual energy and color.

"Hoo!"

When Shen Mo made the last hand seal, he let out a long breath.

At the same time, the cauldron trembled slightly.

A dense and vibrant dark blue pill rose slowly from the bottom of the cauldron.

"The Soul Nourishing Pill is done, and the quality is excellent!"

Holding the successfully completed Soul Nourishing Pill in his hand, Shen Mo quickly looked at the light curtain of the pill tower that recorded the assessment of the pill.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, after Shen Mo finished refining the Soul Nourishing Pill, the original assessment record of the pill was instantly erased.

In its place was a brand new message.

[Soul Nourishing Pill: Second Grade]

[Record Holder: Mo Shen]

[Narration: It took two hours to refine the pill, and the result is top-notch.]

The quality was the same, but Shen Mo's speed in alchemy was one hour faster than hers.

"Buzz!"

When the record was replaced, the Tower Spirit quickly sent out a stream of light.

Shen Mo reached out and received it. The divine light converged, and the reward was a jade slip.

[Demon Subduing Pill: Second Grade]

This jade slip recorded a second-grade spiritual pill.

Its effect was to subdue inner demons and obstacles, allowing Qi Gathering stage cultivators to break through the bottleneck of practicing immortal arts and martial techniques without fear of demonic invasion.

This pill was quite popular among Qi Gathering stage cultivators and was considered one of the commonly used pills.

However, for Shen Mo, it was not very useful.

"My immortal arts, martial techniques, and cultivation methods only need to fill up the experience bar to level up."

"Usually, the first four levels do not require enlightenment, so there is no need for this kind of pill to assist in subduing inner demons."

From initial learning to slight proficiency, to entering the advanced stage and achieving mastery.

In the Fate Panel, the four levels of immortal arts and cultivation methods corresponded to the commonly accepted stages of entry, slight proficiency, mastery, and perfection in the cultivation world.

Unless one was a naturally gifted spiritual body prodigy.

Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would need a long time of polishing and grasping opportunities to make their immortal arts reach the next stage.

But Shen Mo didn't have this worry. He needed to reach the three stages of reaching the peak, reaching the state of perfection, and returning to the original state to apply the breakthrough through enlightenment.

And these three stages were realms that ordinary cultivators could hardly touch in the field of practicing immortal arts and cultivation methods.

They belonged to the high-level states that were encountered but not sought after.

This was an advantage that Shen Mo had over normal cultivators in the field of practicing immortal arts and cultivation methods.

"In the future, when refining this kind of pill, it will mainly be for selling. The price should be quite high."

Shen Mo murmured, "But if my immortal arts and cultivation methods reach the state of perfection, and I still need to improve, I can keep a few in my Qiankun Bag for backup."

After putting away the jade slip, Shen Mo quickly tried again to refine the Qi Condensing Pill, attempting to refresh the record of this pill.
