Chapter 240 - Chapter 240 Obtaining the Elixir and Defeating the Yuanying (Part 1)

"These are Bone Forging Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, Body Tempering Pills, Spirit Boosting Pills, Spirit Nourishing Pills, and Spirit Replenishing Pills."

Hearing Li Chuan's reply, Lotus Fairy immediately pulled out dozens of bottles of pills stored in jade bottles.

After the Nascent Soul Stage is the earth immortal stage, and to become an earth immortal, one must undergo the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; the physical body, yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul), and true essence must all be strong enough to have a chance of passing it.

Therefore, cultivators in the late Nascent Soul Stage generally try to refine some pills that enhance the physical body, and those who primarily cultivate the nascent soul also need to refine some pills that enhance the yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul).

As a master alchemist, Lotus Fairy had prepared these long ago.

At this critical juncture of life and death, she couldn't care less about the preciousness of these pills and shoved them all into Li Chuan's hands.

If the pills are gone, they can be refined again, but if Li Chuan loses, all of them will die at the hands of the demon cultivator leader, and she and her Master's reincarnated Ganoderma will have their souls extinguished, without even the chance of shedding their bodies to reincarnate.

"Such precious pills, I..."

Li Chuan looked at the pills in his hand, feeling ecstatic inside, but on the surface, he put on a hesitant expression.

Lotus Fairy, however, was so anxious that she directly helped Li Chuan open the bottles and pour out the pills, feeding them into his mouth one by one in order:

"Stop being so wishy-washy, you are saving our lives now, eat the Marrow Cleansing first, then the Bone Forging..."

The pills, upon entering his mouth, immediately transformed into various special energies and began to specifically strengthen and enhance Li Chuan's physical body and yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul).

In just a few breaths' time, Li Chuan felt that his physical body and spirit, which had reached their limit due to the massive consumption of Chakra and consumption of soldier pillss, began to recover rapidly.

He felt an indescribable comfort and exhilaration all over his body, like soaking in a hot spring in the middle of winter.

This feeling was greatly different from when he injected the Number One Enhancement Agent, Hulk serum, and the Perfect Extremis Soldier Serum; injecting those three serums was a very painful process that required enduring and resisting with willpower.

Although both strengthened the physical body, the direction of enhancement might differ due to their different principles.

Marvel's gene serums primarily induced mutations in Li Chuan's original cells, thereby strengthening the physical body, which is why the process was relatively painful.

The pills in this World, however, solidify the foundation and cultivate the origin, using special energy to nourish the physical body and yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul), allowing them to gradually become stronger.

This is similar to Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine; both can cure illnesses, just by different methods.

They complement each other, resulting in better effects.

After taking dozens of pills, not only did his body and spirit recover, but Li Chuan also clearly felt that due to the strengthening of his physical body and yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul), the amount of Chakra he could extract was also slightly more than before.

Crucially, this process was still ongoing and had not stopped due to time; he felt it could continue strengthening for a long time.

"Qingfeng, after taking the pills, the medicinal effect needs a month to be completely released, but you took quite a few types, so it should have a good effect now."

After feeding all the pills to Li Chuan, Lotus Fairy explained.

These are pills used by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to strengthen their physical body and yuanshen (primordial spirit/soul); naturally, it's impossible to absorb them all at once, and a period of time is needed for adaptation and buffering.

The cultivation methods and pills of the righteous path have always emphasized gradual progress and steady improvement; only demon cultivators would act recklessly.

"multiple Shadow Clone technique!"

When the five hundred Shadow Clones disappeared again, Li Chuan felt that his body could extract Chakra again thanks to the pills, and without even eating a soldier pills, he formed hand seals again and released Shadow Clones.

This time, the number of Shadow Clones went from five hundred to five hundred and fifty, fifty more than before.

"How can this be?"

Blood God Child, who was gritting his teeth and holding on in the air, became unsettled again when he saw the situation below.

The clones just disappeared after being consumed and then reappeared, which could be explained by recovering true essence, but what's going on now that the clones reappeared and became even more numerous after being consumed?

Even if he took pills that increased cultivation, the absorption couldn't possibly be this fast.

However, what happened next made him even more terrified, because after the wave of five hundred and fifty ended, it actually increased to five hundred and seventy, and after five hundred and seventy ended, it increased to six hundred.

"Hmph, today, for the sake of Whitebrow True Person, this Venerable One will spare you juniors; next time we meet, I will definitely not hold back!"

Seeing that his true essence was about to run out, while the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator below was getting stronger and stronger, Blood God Child left a harsh remark, put away his blood river, and directly fled using a blood escape technique.

Demon cultivators don't care about face; since there was no chance of winning, fleeing was definitely the best strategy.

At worst, he could wait until he recovered his vitality before seeking revenge.

Yun Zhong Seven and Lotus Fairy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Blood God Child flee.

Who would want to die if they could live!

"This trip was truly a huge gain."

And when Li Chuan saw Blood God Child flee, he didn't use Apparition to chase after him, but just sighed inwardly with joy.

After all, he was a disciple of Youquan Blood Demon; if he really killed him, Youquan Blood Demon would come looking for trouble, and he didn't have Bai Mei backing him.

The current situation was the best; he made friends with Yun Zhong Seven and Lotus Fairy, obtained pills, and his physical body and spirit were both enhanced.

He is now very much looking forward to seeing how much his body can grow after completely absorbing those dozens of pills in a month.

"Senior Brother Qingfeng, I didn't expect you could actually repel Blood God Child!"

After everything ended, Yun Zhong Seven looked at Li Chuan, their eyes full of admiration.

This time, in forcing Blood God Child to retreat, they could almost say they didn't play any role; it was entirely thanks to Li Chuan's initial sneak attack, coupled with the continuous thunder techniques attacks that followed.

A foundation establishment fighting a nascent soul, and a mid-stage nascent soul from the Blood Demon Palace at that, this has never been heard of in the historical records of the entire cultivation World.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, you flatter me; these are just secret techniques, no matter how strong they are, they are useless.

Junior Brother is still just at the Foundation Establishment Stage; without becoming a heavenly immortal, one cannot attain longevity, and everything is illusory."

This is actually true; in this World, only by becoming a heavenly immortal and ascending to the upper realm can one achieve immortality.

Otherwise, merely stepping onto the path of cultivation, although it can increase lifespan, there will still be lifespan limitations.

Normal humans cultivators have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years at foundation establishment, five hundred years at core formation, a thousand years at nascent soul, and three thousand years at earth immortal.

If the lifespan limit is reached without breaking through, one can only choose to shed their body and recultivate.

For demons, it's not fixed; the lifespan of different demons also varies.

If not for the lifespan limitation, there wouldn't be so few nascent souls and earth immortals in the cultivation World.

Therefore, for many cultivators, the matter of cultivation is also something to be carefully weighed.

Spending more time on cultivating techniques can lead to faster breakthroughs in realms and increased lifespan, but if the cultivation of arts is neglected, then one will be at a disadvantage in combat.

If too much time is spent on arts, one might be powerful in combat, but if the realm is not broken through by the time limit, everything is empty.
