Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Excitement flickered in Zhang Jing's eyes, but it quickly subsided back to calmness.

Before that, he needed to ascertain how quickly the Gather Spirit Light could purify the impurities in the spiritual power of his Dantian.

He couldn't afford to consume all seven Accumulative Spirit Pills in a month, only to have the Gather Spirit Light take more than ten years to gradually clean up these impurities from the spiritual power of his Dantian. That would be a loss.

"Let's buy one pill to test the waters."

Zhang Jing made up his mind.

Outside the Marvelous Pill Pavilion.

Ji Bochang, satisfied, tucked the purchased Purple Spirit Pill into his storage bag. He turned to Zhang Jing and said, "Brother Zhang, the Ghost Market will open here tonight. I want to see it, would you like to come along?"

"No, Brother Ji." Zhang Jing shook his head in refusal.

"Haha, well, in that case, I suppose Brother Zhang, you'll be heading back alone today."

"You may go as you please, Brother Ji."

"Goodbye, Brother Zhang!"

With that, Ji Bochang turned and walked deeper into the market.

Zhang Jing had barely taken a few steps before he quietly snuck back into the Marvelous Pill Pavilion. Ignoring the strange looks from the attendants, he spent a considerable sum of two Spirit Stones to purchase an Accumulative Spirit Pill.

After storing the pill away.

Zhang Jing, following his memory, headed to the southwest corner of the market.

There, Longze Market had a cultivation room set up, perfect for verifying the effects of the Accumulative Spirit Pill and the Gather Spirit Light.

Before long.

He had rented a secluded high-end cultivation room.

It cost him another Spirit Stone, a princely sum.

However, there was no other way. For someone like Zhang Jing who was renting it only for a day, of course, the price was relatively higher. Had he rented it for a longer period, the cost spread over each day wouldn't have been so expensive.

Yet one gets what one pays for.

Upon entering the cultivation room, Zhang Jing suddenly felt the value of spending a Spirit Stone.

The concentration of spiritual energy within was incredibly dense, almost comparable to the spiritual energy he garnered around him when he drove the Taoism Rhyme with full force or when circulating the Five-Vessels-Water-Element-Guide Method.

Moreover, the cultivation room was divided into two parts.

The one inside was smaller and already had Calming Incense burning, along with a meditation cushion ready. Furthermore, the concentration of spiritual energy here was even greater than that of the space outside.

Clearly, this was for cultivation.

The space outside, on the other hand, was much larger.

There was a bronze humanoid target in the very center -used for practicing and testing spells- and was the main reason why Zhang Jing was willing to spend a Spirit Stone to rent this cultivation room.

After locking the door of the cultivation room.

Zhang Jing went straight to the small cultivation room inside.

Sitting cross-legged, he calmed his mind and relaxed his body.

The faint scent of the Calming Incense lingered in his nostrils, completely calming his heart.

It was about time.

Zhang Jing took out the Accumulative Spirit Pill he had just bought and put it in his mouth. He then lightly scraped off some powder with his teeth and swallowed it.

In a flash.

Zhang Jing felt a burst of spiritual energy explode inside his belly.

He quickly shut his eyes and began to circulate the Five-Vessels-Water-Element-Guide Method. The burst of spiritual energy was instantly combed and followed the circulation of the Cultivation Method around his organs.

Eventually, it transformed into strands of pure black spiritual power, lingering in his Dantian.

"There really are impurities?" Zhang Jing couldn't help but marvel at this sight.

Though both were pure black spiritual powers, the spiritual power transformed from the Accumulative Spirit Pill was vastly different from the spiritual power Zhang Jing condensed through absorbing spiritual energy himself.

Compared to the latter, the former contained many tiny impurities. Fortunately, these impurities were being removed by the Gather Spirit Light at a very fast speed.

After several rounds of verification.

Zhang Jing finally came to a conclusion: one Accumulative Spirit Pill was roughly equivalent to his seven to ten days of non-stop cultivation, and the Gather Spirit Light could remove the impurities of an Accumulative Spirit Pill within three days.

This meant he could totally use the cheap and unlimited Accumulative Spirit Pills as Purple Spirit Pills without any negative consequences.
