I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives

Another two years passed, in the Qinghua Sect.

Above Rizhao Peak, the Spiritual Qi suddenly surged like a tide.

In the deduction chamber of the Pill Hall on Pill Furnace Peak, Chen Sheng was sitting cross-legged in front of a jade desk, scattered with dozens of jade scrolls recording the properties of herbs.

He was carefully deducing in his mind, pondering over the Pill Formula of the "Tier Three Replenishing Essence Pill."

Suddenly, a familiar ripple of Spiritual Qi came from the southeast, carrying the unique rhythm of a breakthrough in realm.

Chen Sheng's heart stirred:

"Someone is forming a Core on Rizhao Peak!"

His Divine Sense was subconsciously projected out. Although not fully extended, it was enough to perceive the spreading Spiritual Qi tide.

"It's that Core Formation seed from the Chen Clan!"

Chen Sheng instantly reacted, put away the deduction jade scrolls, and with a movement, transformed into a purple rainbow light, heading towards the observation platform of Rizhao Peak.

Upon arrival, more than twenty Foundation Establishment elders had already gathered on the observation platform, all core figures of the sect's various peaks.

Seeing Chen Sheng arrive, the crowd sidestepped to make way, bowing respectfully:

"Greetings to Hall Master Chen."

Their tone was full of respect.

Nowadays, not only was Chen Sheng the authority of the Pill Hall, but he was also a master capable of refining quasi-Tier Three Elixirs, even the Fake Pill Ancestor had to show him some respect, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Chen Sheng nodded slightly in return, his gaze turning towards the Core Formation phenomenon on Rizhao Peak, the Spiritual Qi tide had spread over several miles, with the peak's top shrouded in a golden array of spirit light.

At this moment, a cyan rainbow light streaked across the sky, landing in the center of the observation platform, revealing a figure dressed in a brocade robe, with white hair and beard, but with a ruddy complexion—indeed, it was Master Lin Xian, a Fake Pill ancestor of the Nine Refinements Lin family.

His entire being exuded a heavy Spiritual Pressure, though not intentionally released, it nonetheless induced a sense of suffocation among the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

"Greetings to the Master, Ancestor!"

The Foundation Establishment elders bowed in unison, their voices respectful.

Chen Sheng also followed suit: "Greetings to the Master."

"No need for formalities, young friend."

Master Lin Xian laughed heartily at Chen Sheng, his tone intimate:

"Thank you for the Profound Yang Qi Nourishing Pill you sent me days ago. After taking it, I felt quite vigorous, in no way inferior to what Fellow Daoist Dragon Void refines."

Chen Sheng nodded lightly:

"The Master is too kind. My master's alchemy is profound, I am still far behind.

Over the years, he had successively refined many kinds of quasi-Tier Three Elixirs, not only sending them to descendants like Wu Guang and Lin Yi.

But also to sect ancestors like Lin Xian and Hua Taixuan, precisely to maintain connections and build relationships.

Master Lin Xian sighed, changing the topic:

"Any news from Fellow Daoist Dragon Void? I heard he went searching for the Pill Transformation technique, such determination is beyond me."

Chen Sheng shook his head, his tone calm:

"My master journeys across the Four Seas and has not sent back any news yet."

Master Lin Xian nodded lightly, not saying more, his gaze turning towards the Core Formation phenomenon on Rizhao Peak.

After a quarter of an hour, a purple-robed figure flew from the main peak, the Sect Leader Hua Taixuan of the Qinghua Sect, donned in the sect leader's standard robe, with the sect's Jade Seal at his waist, his demeanor steady, his aura unfathomable.

Seeing Lin Xian and Chen Sheng, he merely nodded slightly, but his gaze was firmly fixed on the phenomenon on Rizhao Peak, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth:

"Judging by this phenomenon, it seems our Qinghua Sect is about to gain another Master."

Upon his words, envy flashed in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

A Master Fake Pill signifies a life span of five hundred years and the power to control the seas, the ultimate goal they pursue in their lifetime.

After another half a stick of incense time.

The Spiritual Qi tide above Rizhao Peak suddenly retracted, and the golden spirit light condensed into a dazzling golden rainbow light, illuminating the whole sky, even dyeing the clouds golden.

Immediately, a middle-aged Daoist flew out from the peak, dressed in a profound Daoist robe, with a firm countenance, exuding an overwhelming aura surpassing that of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yet he gradually retracted it in a moment, appearing calm and restrained.

"Chen Xin greets the Sect Leader, Elder Lin, Hall Master Chen!"

The middle-aged Daoist landed in front of the observation platform, nodding slightly to Hua Taixuan, Lin Xian, and Chen Sheng.

It was also the first time Chen Sheng had seen this Core Formation seed from the Chen Clan.

He had long heard that after Chen Xin was tested to have an Earth Grade Spiritual Root, he was personally taken as a disciple by Elder Chen Jiang, to cultivate under his guidance.

In a century, he had seldom appeared in the sect, now having refined a Fake Pill, he finally lived up to the Chen Clan's expectations, continuing its hundreds of years of glory.

The Chen Clan elders born from Rizhao Peak around were already moved to tears, their gazes at Chen Xin full of admiration.

Hua Taixuan looked at Chen Xin, nodding with satisfaction:

"Good, very good! Fellow Daoist Chen Jiang has successors, stabilize your realm first, and return to the main peak in three days for a meeting, the sect has its rewards."

Chen Xin bowed and replied:

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Master Lin Xian also spoke with a smile: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chen, if you have any doubts in the Fake Pill Realm in the future, feel free to come to Treasure Mist Peak to find me."

"Thank you, Peak Master Lin!"

Chen Sheng also exchanged pleasantries, before they all dispersed.

On the way back to Pill Furnace Peak, his state of mind was calm and undisturbed—even though others' breakthroughs, he no longer felt the envy he once had.

The path of cultivation is gradual; one ultimately relies on oneself to walk it step by step.

Returning to the deduction chamber, Chen Sheng sat back down, picked up the jade scroll, and continued deducing that Tier Three Pill Formula.

...

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, within Chen Sheng's cave abode, Spiritual Qi swirled, forming a faint vortex.

Sitting cross-legged on the Profound Jade Meditation Mat, his eyes closed, his heart spirit delved into his Dantian.

Within the Dantian, fifty drops of chicken-blood-red liquid mana slowly rotated, each drop like the purest gem, radiating brilliant light.

Now, having reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Early-stage, he encountered a bottleneck.

On the jade desk in front of him lay three quasi-Tier Three Realm-Breaking Pills, each with two pill patterns. These were his pinnacle work, refined three years ago, specifically for breaking through to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Meanwhile, over the years, he polished his mana daily, compressing and purifying every drop to the extreme, clearly preparing to the utmost extent.

"The time has come."

Chen Sheng opened his eyes, raised his hand to pick up a Realm-Breaking Pill and swallowed it.

The elixir pill dissolved in his stomach, transforming into a warm stream that spread throughout his body via the meridians, like spring rain nourishing the earth, awakening his mana.

The fifty drops of mana in his dantian instantly became active, spontaneously circulating rapidly along the meridians according to the spell of the "Pure Yang Qi Technique".

First cycle, second cycle...

When his mana circulated to the tenth cycle, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a slight tremor from his dantian.

It was the bottleneck of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, like an invisible membrane, blocking further growth of his mana.

"Break!"

With a thought, all his mana converged instantly, like a surging river, crashing hard against the bottleneck.

The warm stream and mana cooperated, one soft and one hard, and the bottleneck shattered instantly like paper.

An unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his body, and his dantian seemed to expand by double.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi above the Tier Three Spiritual Vein around him, as if being drawn, crazily rushed into his body.

Driven by the spell, countless spiritual qi was rapidly refined, transformed into drop after drop of new liquid mana, merging into his dantian.

A month later.

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a turbid breath, immersed his heart spirit into his dantian, looking at the seventy-five drops of liquid mana inside. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips:

"Just broke through, and my mana increased by fifty percent. My divine sense range also expanded to two hundred and ten zhang. No wonder the bottleneck of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment is so hard to break."

He raised his hand and waved, extending his divine sense outward, instantly enveloping a corner of Pill Furnace Peak.

Two hundred and ten zhang range, ten zhang more than ordinary Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the subtlety of his divine sense far exceeded others of the same stage.

He could clearly perceive the growth state of each spirit grass inside the Alchemy Room within the Pill Hall, and even distinguish the subtle mistakes made by disciples during alchemy.

Chen Sheng thought silently to himself:

"It seems these years of cultivating the 'Divine Inference Array' haven't been wasted."

During these years, besides polishing his mana, he had also cultivated the Spiritual Sense Technique 'Divine Inference Array' to the peak of the fourth layer.

The control of his divine sense had significantly improved again, which was also the direct reason for the divine sense exceeding the standard after his breakthrough.

...

Another half year passed.

Chen Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the cave.

He took out one hundred and eight light cyan array banners from his storage pouch, casually tossing them, the banners scattered in the air, forming a circle.

He closed his eyes, using his divine sense to control the array banners, beginning to derive the array according to the technique of the 'Divine Inference Array'.

The array banners moved rapidly in the air, connecting runes, gradually forming a light cyan light screen.

After half an hour, a Tier One top-level 'Spirit Gathering Array' emerged, and the concentration of spiritual qi inside the array was more than three times that of the outside world.

"The fifth layer, finally done."

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, revealing a rare smile on his face.

The fifth layer of the 'Divine Inference Array', capable of simultaneously controlling a hundred array banners with divine sense, deriving a Tier One top-level array.

"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment divine sense, and the 'Divine Inference Array' cultivated to perfection, at this moment my subtle manipulation of divine sense is beyond that of ordinary Late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Years of deduction, Tier Three Elixirs, finally ready to have a try."

Chen Sheng murmured to himself, sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, a three-foot-tall tripod furnace floating in front of him.

The entire body of the tripod furnace was black-golden, with nine lifelike black dragons carved on the furnace body, dragon whiskers and dragon claws clearly visible.

It was the quasi-Tier Three Pill Furnace 'Black Dragon Cauldron', inherited by Pill Furnace Peak.

This cauldron came equipped with a Tier Three Spirit Gathering Pattern, making it an excellent tool for refining Tier Three Elixirs.

On the jade disc beside him were the spiritual materials needed to refine the 'Tier Three Replenishing Essence Pill'.

The Tier Three Replenishing Essence Pill was the easiest to refine among Tier Three Elixirs.

Primarily used for Tier Three cultivators to quickly recover mana, it was suitable as a 'hand-training pill' for breaking through to a Tier Three Alchemist.

"Begin."

Chen Sheng took a deep breath, and a wisp of pale golden spiritual fire ignited at his fingertip.

He controlled the spiritual fire, slowly injecting it into the Black Dragon Cauldron, instantly lighting up the dragon patterns on the cauldron body, emitting a faint golden light.

Subsequently, he used his divine sense to control the spiritual materials, sequentially placing them into the cauldron according to the order.

The concoction rotated within the cauldron, gradually forming a pale white liquid.

Chen Sheng did not dare to relax even slightly, using his divine sense to firmly lock onto the changes inside the cauldron, with every adjustment of the heat and every spell cast being precisely perfect to the extreme.

Half an hour later.

The concoction began to condense into a pill form, and he quickly cast with his divine sense to guide, drawing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the cauldron to begin nurturing the 'Pill Spirit'.

Time passed slowly.

An hour later, the Black Dragon Cauldron suddenly shook, and the cauldron lid was lifted by a surge of spiritual qi.

A pale white light flew out of the cauldron, circling once in the air, with a rich medicinal fragrance, slowly landing in Chen Sheng's palm.

Chen Sheng opened his eyes, looking at the pill, pure white and containing a trace of spirituality in his palm, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes:

"The Tier Three Replenishing Essence Pill, it's done!"

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

In order to maintain abundant mana while refining this pill, he had supplemented mana twice, and his divine sense had become somewhat exhausted.

But looking at the Tier Three Elixir in his hand, all fatigue vanished into thin air.

This was not only the first Tier Three Elixir he refined but also marked his entry into the ranks of Tier Three Alchemy Grandmasters.
