Chapter 37: Imperial Dao Palace Cultivation Method (6/7, Requesting Flowers and Ratings)

"Don't rush to agree," the Elder waved his hand. "In addition, you must refine sixty Hundred Herbs Golden Pills each month for the sect's disciples. Are you willing?"

"Thank you for the Elder's kindness," Zhang Taixuan said, even happier—this was clearly the Elder opening the door wide for him.

You should know that, apart from the first time when the sect provides support, ordinary disciples normally have to exchange sect contribution points for spiritual herbs when they want to refine pills.

Now, he was receiving spiritual herbs for free.

This was literally a business with no capital required.

The Elder laughed heartily: "Actually, the sect is the one gaining the advantage. By the way, I have three elixir formulas here—I'll give them to you too. I'll have a disciple deliver a batch of spiritual herbs shortly; try refining them."

"Yes."

"I am Li Changfeng. Should you need anything, come to the main hall of the sect to find me."

Zhang Taixuan bowed respectfully and departed, satisfied with his haul.

Not long after returning to his quarters, a disciple arrived with the spiritual herbs.

Along with them came a token—the Core Disciple Identity Token.

"The Elder has already submitted your improved elixir to the Sect Master," said the junior disciple who delivered them, envious. "The Sect Master personally upgraded you to Core Disciple. Congratulations, Senior Brother."

"You're too kind," Zhang Taixuan said, slightly surprised, and handed him one Hundred Herbs Golden Pill. "Please sample this elixir I refined." He dismissed the junior disciple.

"With Core Disciple status, my movements will be far easier," Zhang Taixuan mused. "Even the Four Extremes and Transformation Dragon cultivation methods can now be exchanged."

Displaying talent carries risk, but also benefits.

Moreover, he displayed only his elixir-refining talent—not any divine body or holy body ability—so the chance of becoming someone's target was extremely low.

He casually tossed the herbs for refining Hundred Herbs Golden Pills into the Qiankun Cauldron. Moments later, six thousand Hundred Herbs Golden Pills were refined and emerged.

"The Elder gave me half a year's supply at once. I won't need to run around much," Zhang Taixuan said, packing six hundred into a container to submit to the sect later.

The rest of the elixirs he directly dumped into the Shangcheng.

【Ding, you sold 5,400 Hundred Herbs Golden Pills and earned 810,000 points.】

After finishing this, Zhang Taixuan ignored the loud exclamations in the group and turned to contemplate other matters.

【You comprehended the formula for Marrow-Washing Pill. Based on your own understanding of elixir arts, you improved it, increasing its potency tenfold. Your knowledge of elixir arts has grown.】

【You comprehended the formula for Ziyang Dan. Based on your own understanding of elixir arts, you improved it, increasing its potency tenfold. Your elixir arts have become truly extraordinary.】

【You comprehended the formula for Youth-Restoring Pill. Based on your own understanding of elixir arts, you improved it, making Youth-Restoring Pill's effects even more terrifying. Your elixir arts have reached divine mastery within the Dao Palace realm!】

Marrow-Washing Pill: Gu Mingsiyi—a pill that washes and purifies the marrow and flesh.

Many mortals who entered the path of cultivation used Marrow-Washing Pills to refine their bodies and enhance their physical potential.

Ziyang Dan: An elixir refined primarily from century-old Purple Ginseng, its power immense, ideal for Dao Palace cultivators.

Youth-Restoring Pill: An elixir that restores injuries.

Having effortlessly comprehended the formulas, Zhang Taixuan tossed the herbs the Elder gave him into the Qiankun Cauldron.

Moments later, he held one hundred Marrow-Washing Pills, one hundred Purple Yang Pills, and one hundred Youth-Restoring Pills.

"Ten portions of herbs, not a single bit wasted—perfect. I'll submit thirty of each; the rest are mine!"

With his incredible comprehension, Zhang Taixuan's elixir-refining success rate was extremely high—nearly one hundred percent.

【Ding, you sold 70 Marrow-Washing Pills and earned 14,000 points.】

【Ding, you sold 70 Ziyang Dan and earned 28,000 points.】

【Ding, you sold 70 Youth-Restoring Pills and earned 28,000 points.】

After selling everything, Zhang Taixuan began contemplating cultivation methods.

【You comprehended a Dao Palace cultivation method. Your understanding of the five viscera and five spirits increased.】

【You comprehended a Dao Palace method. Your understanding of the Five Elements increased.】

【……】

【You grasped the true essence of the Dao Palace realm. Combining Daoist classics from countless worlds with your understanding of martial arts, you discovered the method to cultivate the Five Qi within the chest.】

【Based on the method of cultivating the Five Qi within the chest, you recreated the Dao Palace cultivation method, naming it: The Dao Jing—Dao Palace Scroll.】

Dao Jing—Dao Palace Scroll: After cultivation, one's foundation is sufficient to break through to the Emperor realm.

Seeing that the first stage of the Dao Palace realm had finally been perfected by him, Zhang Taixuan was deeply satisfied. He activated the heart method and began cultivating the new technique, refining his Heart Spirit Vault and Liver Spirit Vault once more.

Within his heart, a fiery red glow filled the space, and a hazy, shadowy figure emerged.

This was the Fire Qi of the Five Elements.
