Chapter 146 Longevity Pill
As they reached the central courtyard, they happened to see Biji walking towards them from the direction of the alchemy room.
She held a warm jade elixir box in her hands, the box shimmering with a faint green light.
"Greetings, esteemed elders." Biji handed the pill box to Li Ren. "Elder Li, please pass this on to Elder Mu. Biling has other important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."
Li Ren solemnly accepted the jade box, feeling its smooth, warm texture, and the subtle aura emanating from it made his martial spirit tremble slightly.
He nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."
Biji bid farewell again and turned to walk quickly toward the alchemy room—the residual aura from alchemy must be sealed off and not allowed to leak out in the slightest.
Wan Shu watched her leave, understanding the situation, and continued to guide the elders on their tour.
When they left, each elder had a carefully wrapped scroll in their hands, and everyone wore a satisfied smile.
In the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En sat quietly in the main seat.
Li Ren presented the jade box with both hands: "Elder Mu, this is something that my young friend Bi Ling asked me to pass on."
Moon took the box, and the moment his fingertips touched the jade box, his aged eyes suddenly narrowed. He slowly opened the lid—
hum!
A soft, golden-blue light rippled outwards like water, and an extremely pure life force permeated the entire Sea God Pavilion.
The aura was as warm as the spring sun, as vast as the deep sea, yet it carried an indescribable sense of sacredness.
At this moment, all the plants in the pavilion moved swiftly without wind, their leaves trembling as if in worship.
In the center of the jade box, a pill floated silently.
The pill's body was as clear as glass, containing azure blood and golden patterns within. It rotated slowly like a living thing, each rotation bringing up fine dust.
"This is..." Li Ren's voice trembled.
Old Zhuang suddenly stood up: "A longevity pill?! And this aura... far surpasses that of ordinary longevity pills!"
The elders gathered around, their eyes filled with awe.
They could clearly sense that the life-giving power contained in the elixir had almost reached the level of the rules.
If ordinary longevity pills are said to "replenish lifespan", then this pill is to "nourish the source of life"!
Mu En stared at the pill for a long time, a smile slowly spreading across his aged face. The smile deepened, finally turning into a long sigh: "What...what a wonderful gift!"
He gently closed the jade box, and when he looked up, his eyes were filled with a clear and resolute determination:
"From this day forward, the Spirit Pagoda will be an eternal ally of Shrek Academy."
"And Huo Yutong—" Mu En's voice was deep and slow, yet each word struck like a hammer, "I will take her as my personal disciple and establish her as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion's next generation of Pavilion Master."
There was a moment of silence in the pavilion, then all the elders bowed in unison: "We respectfully obey the Pavilion Master's command."
……
Let's go back to the moment when Huo Yutong entered the Golden Tree to cultivate.
Following Moon's directions, she arrived at a special training room.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the sight that came into view made her pause slightly—dozens of soul beast skulls of various shapes were neatly inlaid on the four walls, each radiating a deep spiritual fluctuation.
She closed the door, walked to the center of the room, and sat down cross-legged.
In an instant, waves of invisible spiritual shock emanated from her skull, washing over her consciousness like a tidal wave.
Although this force is not violent, it is continuous and greatly beneficial for tempering mental strength and accelerating the circulation of soul power.
Just as she was getting into the swing of things, a gentle yet aged voice echoed in her mind:
"Child, I know you are a disciple of Lord Elex, the master of the Spirit Pagoda."
But I still wish to take you as my personal disciple—not to compete with Lord Electrox for the title of master.
Moon's voice was sincere: "I can discuss this with Lord Electrox myself."
If you are willing, you may formally become my disciple after this training is completed. I will impart all my knowledge to you without reservation.
Huo Yutong was deep in thought when, after a while, Electrolux's voice rang out leisurely in her sea of consciousness:
"This man's aura is as clear as a lake, and his mind is enlightened. He is a true elder of the righteous path. I really wish to brew tea and discuss the Dao with him."
He paused, then said gently, "Yutong, just follow your heart. If you wish to become his disciple, then so be it."
Huo Yutong had already made up her mind. She composed herself and resumed her cultivation.
For several days in a row, she was completely immersed in the golden tree’s powerful vitality and spiritual tempering, almost forgetting the passage of time in the outside world.
……
Deep within the Sea God Pavilion, in a fire-attribute training room.
The air distorted and steamed under the high temperature, and the intense soul power fluctuations made the stone walls faintly turn dark red.
Ma Xiaotao sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, the crimson-gold flames flowing around her flickering, illuminating her face with her eyes closed.
Level 70.
This former bottleneck has been overcome thanks to the opportunity granted by the divine test.
Floating in her palm at this moment is a divinely bestowed soul ring. Before absorbing this soul ring, she took out a pill bottle and ate three Xuanbing Pills.
Without hesitation, she poured her soul power into it.
"Buzz—" A vast amount of energy surged into her meridians like a burst dam.
Ma Xiaotao's body trembled, and the location of her seventh spirit ring began to glow.
The color began to change.
White, fleeting.
Yellow, flashed by.
The purple hue lingered for a moment before deepening into a deep, inky black.
The black spirit ring slowly rotated beneath her, but the patterns on the spirit ring did not stop.
The number of years jumped wildly in her perception: ten thousand years, thirty thousand years, fifty thousand years... Energy flowed in like an inexhaustible spring.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, only to evaporate instantly in the high temperature.
Seventy thousand years.
When you start to feel a throbbing pain in your meridians, it's a sign that your energy is too abundant.
Ordinary Soul Masters would stop here, but she gritted her teeth—it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough.
Eighty thousand years.
The pain intensified, as if magma was flowing through my veins.
She recalled the rows of names of those who had died young in the ancestral hall, and the deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth when her father finally lost control.
If you can't even bear this pain, how can you break free from your destiny?
Ninety thousand years.
A hint of crimson appeared quietly at the edge of the black spirit ring.
Right now—
"boom!"
The evil fire that had been suppressed deep within his bloodline finally erupted completely.
The crimson flames suddenly shot up three zhang high, no longer a docile force, but a violent, chaotic, and destructive tidal wave.
The heatwave crashed against the protective barrier of the training room, producing a sizzling sound that made your teeth ache.
Normally, Ma Xiaotao would instinctively suppress it, forcibly pressing the rampaging flames back into her body with her willpower.
But this time, she didn't.
"I will no longer run away," she said to herself, and also to the struggling phoenix within her.
She relaxed all resistance, letting the evil fire engulf her entire body.
Pain burned through every inch of her skin and every bone, but she no longer resisted; instead, she sank her consciousness into the depths of that destructive flame.
Immerse yourself in the flames.
The red color on the black spirit ring began to spread.
A wisp, a strand, a patch… Crimson as blood, yet like the dawn of rebirth, gradually permeated the entire spirit ring. The spirit ring's rotation slowed, but its color deepened, eventually solidifying into a pure, breathtaking crimson.
The moment the red spirit ring took shape, all the raging flames in the training room suddenly stopped.
Then it collapsed inwards, returning entirely to Ma Xiaotao's body.
A clear and melodious phoenix cry soared from within her body, and a massive phoenix phantom pierced through the dome of the cultivation room, unfurling its dazzling wings of light above the Sea God Pavilion.
Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes.
She stood up and pushed open the door to the training room.
