653. Chapter 651: Starting Cultivation

"Put all your thoughts into cultivation; I believe you will one day become a great master."

Lu Yuan left the Medicinal Mystery Chamber, his heart full of anticipation for his future cultivation journey.

Lu Yuan left the Medicinal Mystery Chamber and returned to Lei Huo Dan Ge with great anticipation.

He realized that entering a new stage of cultivation required greater effort and focus.

After returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan began to rearrange his immortal artifacts and treasures.

He spent a great deal of time and energy adjusting every detail to ensure they could function to their fullest extent.

At the same time, he focused his attention on practicing the Hidden Origin Secret and the Talisman God Record.

These two books were precious secret manuals given to him by the Supreme Dao Ancestor, helping him conceal his true cultivation level and expand his skills and abilities.

Lu Yuan cultivated while pondering the Supreme Dao Ancestor's earlier mention of the new person in charge.

Although this might seem an ordinary, insignificant change to others, it was very important to Lu Yuan.

He worried whether he could maintain a good cooperative relationship with the new person in charge and try to avoid unnecessary trouble from friction.

The high-ranking officials of Heavenly Wind City also found this quite troublesome.

After evaluation, they decided the new person in charge should be someone who could maintain good relations with Lu Yuan, the Blood Moon Sect, and all other parties.

Finally, they selected inner disciple Ji Wuji to take the position, and he received a recommendation from Yang Zhenkong.

Ji Wuji was a highly regarded young talent in Heavenly Wind City, his cultivation standing among the best of his peers.

It was said he had also participated in some high-level missions, performing excellently.

Although young, his abilities were widely recognized.

Ji Wuji found Lu Yuan, expressed his willingness to cooperate, and revealed that Yang Zhenkong had recommended him for the position.

Lu Yuan felt relieved, thinking Ji Wuji might be a trustworthy partner.

In the conversation, Lu Yuan also told Ji Wuji about the Blood Moon Sect Sect Leader Xueying's unfavorable plot against Yang Zhenkong.

This left Ji Wuji deep in thought, and late at night he discussed countermeasures with Zi Xi'er.

Lu Yuan watched Lei Huo Dan Ge return to normal operation, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With this cultivation site, he could focus more on studying immortal arts and enhancing his strength.

After spending some time recuperating at Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan began to devote more time to entering a cultivation state.

Especially the Talisman God Record brought him a new realm breakthrough; he had successfully reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He sat in the training chamber, closed his eyes to nurture his spirit, and his whole body was enveloped in a faint golden light.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, as if time itself had stalled.

Although his cultivation had improved, Lu Yuan could not shake off a worry.

Why hasn't Su Liyan responded yet?

He once thought his emotions were too sensitive, but after waiting a long time there was still no news.

Feeling uneasy, he decided to search for Su Liyan's whereabouts.

After asking Zi Xi'er, he learned she had followed Heavenly Wind City's lord's son, Jiang Tao, to the Central Plains for training.

"Since Su Liyan has also gone out for training, that makes things easy."

Lu Yuan's heart eased; if only he himself were worried, it would still be painful.

He quickly consulted with Mo Di, and they decided to go together to the Central Plains to find Su Liyan.

The two mounted their flying swords and headed straight for the Central Plains.

Upon arriving in the Central Plains, Lu Yuan's sense of perception played an important role.

He closed his eyes, seemingly able to sense Su Liyan's presence.

As the target point drew nearer, his mood gradually relaxed.

Finally, in a splendid valley, Lu Yuan and Mo Di saw a huge ice sculpture.

The ice sculpture was an exact replica of Su Liyan's likeness.

"Isn't this the pair of cold jade ice shards from my home?" Zi Xi'er exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, thinking: "Could something have gone wrong?"

Zi Xi'er ran a few steps to the ice sculpture and searched inside for any trace of Su Liyan.

In an instant she frowned: "There's no one inside the ice sculpture."

"How could this be?"

Mo Di also felt puzzled.

Lu Yuan carefully sensed and suddenly realized that the icy aura on Su Liyan's body was dissipating, as if something was drawing away her power.

"There's a problem here!"

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened; he gripped his Thunderfire Sword tightly, ready to give his all.

Just then, a flash of cloud light streaked across the heavens.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly appeared, and his presence made the scene instantly grow solemn.

"Dao Ancestor!"

Lu Yuan and Mo Di were overjoyed.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor gazed at Lu Yuan and the others, smiling slightly: "You're here to look for Su Liyan, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, she's still alive."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

"Where is she now?"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor pointed at the ice sculpture before them: "She is being held captive in the Ice Realm."

Lu Yuan, Mo Di, and Zi Xi'er exchanged a glance; they all knew the Ice Realm was fraught with danger for those with low cultivation.

"What should we do?" Mo Di asked.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor's expression turned stern: "Follow me."

They closely followed the Supreme Dao Ancestor, passing through a spacetime tunnel to leave the valley.

Before them lay a vast icy world, with biting cold everywhere.

They had no choice but to decide on a quick battle, relying on the Supreme Dao Ancestor's power to rescue Su Liyan.

But even after rescuing her, Lu Yuan found Su Liyan still unconscious.

First, bring her back.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor said: "With your ability, you will surely be able to save her."

After Lu Yuan accepted the Supreme Dao Ancestor's guidance, they arrived at the Medicinal Mystery Chamber of Azure Fall Peak.

The Medicinal Mystery Chamber is the most famous alchemy sect in Heavenly Wind City, led by an elder.

This elder had given Lu Yuan much help on his cultivation path, and held him in high esteem.

Lu Yuan entered the chamber, immersing himself in the practice of the alchemical Dao.

He constantly tried and practiced, gradually mastering the "Spirit Qi Condensing Pill Technique".

The alchemy room was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance as Lu Yuan focused, manipulating various immortal materials and alchemical tools.

He quickly and accurately controlled the flame, mastered the timing, and adjusted the force.

Although he encountered many challenges in his initial attempts, Lu Yuan did not give up.

After each failure, he summarized lessons learned and adjusted according to his own situation.

As time slowly passed, Lu Yuan gradually formed his own unique alchemical method.

He could sense the subtle yet precise balance among the immortal materials, and gradually condense the spirit qi through his technique.

Finally, spiraling white smoke rose from the alchemical furnace before him.

One after another, spirit qi pills gradually took shape.

These spirit qi pills were of exceptionally high quality, initially reaching the upper-grade level.

Lu Yuan could not help but clench his fists in joy.

This was the first time he had successfully refined such a high-quality pill. (End of chapter)
