Chapter 392: A Bountiful Harvest

Yin Qi's speed was not slow, but cutting open over a thousand Source Stones still took him nearly two days; however, the harvest was full, with over a thousand catties of Divine Source alone, in twenty-eight pieces of varying sizes.

As for Pure Source, there were only over twenty thousand catties, all in large chunks of several hundred catties, because the vast majority of these thousand-plus Source Stones were various spirit medicines and divine materials, as well as a small amount of Dharma Treasures and an incomplete cultivation manual.

These spirit medicines were not only Taigu spirit medicines, many of which are now extinct, but they were also basically top-grade spirit medicines, among which there were quite a few Treasure Medicines, and even Medicine Kings.

If converted into Pure Source, these spirit medicines alone were worth three to four million catties of Pure Source.

As for divine materials, such as Great Luo secret silver, purple gold divine iron, and crimson blood refined copper, the worst of them were main materials for refining top-grade Spirit Tools, and many were materials for refining Sacred Weapons, or even Great Saint weapons.

As for Dharma Treasures, they were basically broken Sacred Weapons or Great Saint weapons, and their value was likewise not small.

As for the incomplete cultivation manual, its own value was not great—it was just a Great Saint-level technique—but the material used to record this technique was the Bilan Divine Jade, one of the extremely rare Nine Heavens Divine Jade.

Such a piece of Nine Heavens Divine Jade the size of an A4 sheet of paper is worth at least over two hundred thousand catties of Pure Source.

Overall, the total value of the treasures cut out was around six million catties of Pure Source.

If this harvest were made known, I fear the various major powers would vomit blood; the precious Source Stones they had kept to build their reputations had actually been swept up by Yin Qi, leaving behind only some scraps.

As the grand voice finished speaking, a stream of information emerged out of thin air; it was a secret method on how to integrate the aura of the Great Dao into the alchemy process, which could greatly improve the quality of the pills.

"Good, perform the Deduction."

He pinched fire-control hand seals, continuously placing various spirit medicines into the Pill Furnace, then continuously cast various alchemy hand seals to condense the pills into shape, while simultaneously casting the secret method to integrate the aura of the Great Dao into the pills.

With his comprehension, merging the two alchemy methods was not difficult, but it required time.

Success!

A look of joy flashed in Yin Qi's eyes as he placed the Jade Bone Pill into a Spirit Jade bottle.

After organizing his harvest, Yin Qi did not rush to Purple Mountain, but instead began refining pills.

There were seven-colored divine deer neighing, and nine-colored Phoenixes dancing.

After digesting the memory and mastering the special technique, Yin Qi began to refine pills.

Then, with a boom, the Pill Furnace shook, and it seemed as if celestial music sounded within the furnace, celebrating the successful refining of the pills.

At the same time, the red luck of the Luck Altar also dropped to two feet.

Soon, faint rosy clouds bloomed from the Pill Furnace, and the fragrance of the pills overflowed from the furnace, manifesting into various visions.

However, before refining the pills, he first communicated with the Altar: "Altar, how much luck is required to integrate the Shrouding the Heavens alchemy method into the Honghuang alchemy method?"

"As you wish!"

Although this Jade Bone Pill was only a high-grade pill, because it had integrated the aura of the Great Dao, its medicinal efficacy was already comparable to a top-grade pill.

For the next month, Yin Qi spent his time refining pills.

Yin Qi first refined the Jade Bone Pill, a high-grade Spirit Pill that could assist Mysterious Yellow Qi in tempering bones; while increasing cultivation speed, it could also protect the internal organs from harm.

He would certainly become famous next, but this 'fame' was not a good name.

Back when he entered the Qing Emperor Mausoleum with Yan Ruyu, he had been allocated a Pill Furnace of high-grade Spirit Tool level.

Yin Qi opened the furnace lid and beckoned with his right hand; twelve pills like red jade flew in front of him, within which traces of 'Dao' and 'Reason' seemed to be faintly intertwined.

His luck had not been this low for a long time.

"Five feet!"

Jade Bone Pills for tempering bones, Xuanling Pills for recovering cultivation, Purple Dew Pills for healing, and God Origin Pills for extending life—these were prepared specifically for the God King Jiang Taixu.

Jiang Taixu had been trapped in Purple Mountain for four thousand years, nearly exhausted.

This God Origin Pill could replenish vital energy, allowing Jiang Taixu to quickly recover his cultivation; if taken by someone whose lifespan was nearing its end, it could extend their life by at least five hundred years.

Besides this, Yin Qi also refined a large quantity of Spirit Source Pills.

This type of pill used Divine Source, Pure Source, and some spirit medicines as materials; the refined pills contained pure Spirit Qi, which could nourish the physical body and increase cultivation speed.

He had refined these Spirit Source Pills specifically for Xiao Nannan; they also tasted very good and could be eaten as snacks.

For this, he also refined another Space Ring, wore it on Xiao Nannan's finger, and placed her clothes and Spirit Source Pills inside, making it convenient for her to take them herself.

He still needed to cultivate and could not stay with Xiao Nannan all the time.

With these things, she could also take care of herself; eating one Spirit Source Pill would keep her from being hungry for over ten days.

Back then, memory Jade Slips were also indispensable.

Xiao Nannan would lose her memory every so often, which was very detrimental to her life and growth.

This memory Jade Slip could record the scenes of her daily life; once she lost her memory, she would be able to find it back from this memory Jade Slip.

………

"Xiao Nannan, I need to go out for a few days; will you play by yourself at home?"

This day, Yin Qi said to Xiao Nannan.

Mist immediately rose in Xiao Nannan's eyes, and she looked up pitifully: "Big Brother, are you not wanting me anymore? I am very obedient, and I don't eat much."

Yin Qi shook his head and smiled: "How could that be? Xiao Nannan is so obedient, how could I not want you? It's just that I really have something to do and it's not convenient to take you with me; I will be back in a few days."

Xiao Nannan struggled for a long time before saying reluctantly: "Alright, Big Brother must come to find me; Xiao Nannan will always be here waiting for you."

"Mm, I will be back very soon."

After settling Xiao Nannan, Yin Qi traversed the void and arrived directly at Purple Mountain.

……

Purple Mountain was purple-brown throughout, as if polished from dull purple gold; it was thick and heavy, four thousand meters high, and very steep; mortals could not climb it at all.

It was like a great Sword standing on the earth, piercing straight into the clouds, with a majestic aura.

On the mountain body, there were many knife marks, sword holes, as well as palm prints and finger holes; these marks were nearly weathered and erased, and could only be seen clearly upon careful identification; it was unknown what era they were left from.

"Nine Dragons Arching the Pearl, truly a good layout."

Standing in the void, Yin Qi observed the Feng Shui layout of Purple Mountain; with Purple Mountain as the center, nine mountain ridges converged here from afar, forming the layout of Nine Dragons Arching the Pearl.

Nine is the extreme number; this place of Nine Dragons Arching the Pearl could be called a top-tier Feng Shui treasure land in the world.

It is no wonder that first the Ancient Race sealed themselves here, and later Wu Shi Dadi used this place as his own mausoleum.

A green mist flashed in Yin Qi's eyes, and he immediately saw countless Dragon Qi and Yunxiao rising and steaming from Purple Mountain, with rosy clouds filling the sky and stars shining down, as if it were an Immortal Realm.

It is said that the Ruthless Great Emperor also once had designs on Purple Mountain.

It was only after seeing that the Wushi Dadi had already taken up residence there that she gave up on this place.

When Yang reaches its limit, Yin is born; when Yin reaches its limit, Yang is born.

The Feng Shui layout of this Purple Mountain is top-tier, which also means it contains great danger.

To forcibly break open the mountain body to enter would only mean death; one can only enter from within the nine mountain ridges, and although all nine mountain ridges can lead to the interior of Purple Mountain, there is only one path of life among them, while all others are paths of death.

According to the Feng Shui layout, Yin Qi quickly performed a Calculation to find the location of the path of life.
