Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

A surge of formidable intent began to grow.

Xu Yang felt as if his consciousness were nourished by a shower of sweet dew, greedily absorbing invisible essence and swelling in strength at a startling pace.

"The transformation of my Primordial Spirit..."

Xu Yang murmured in a daze.

At a certain moment.

He slowly opened his eyes, an invisible tide of soul power sweeping through the room.

Just as it seemed the room would be torn apart, Xu Yang suddenly called out in a low voice, "Condense!"

Crash!

The soul surge instantly froze, causing violent upheaval inside the room, but remained strictly confined within a set area.

Compared to before, the strength had multiplied many times over!

Blurry fragments of memory flashed through his mind, and Xu Yang began to recall them.

He had forcibly maintained an extreme state for more than a day.

In the end, he’d endured a barrage of ancient residual will, wrestling with it fiercely before finally devouring it, which brought about such a great transformation and leap.

"How far am I now in strength of Primordial Spirit compared to a True Immortal?"

A gleam of sharp light flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes.

No standard for comparison, but he felt his Primordial Spirit could fight a True Immortal.

"The pill."

Xu Yang suddenly remembered and hastily summoned the Divine Cauldron.

At the bottom of the Divine Cauldron lay a pill, bathed in starry glow.

Closer inspection revealed slight pits around the edge, but not a trace of impurity remained.

"Done!"

Xu Yang trembled all over in excitement.

"Many thanks to you, predecessors." He gazed inward at the tranquil Tripod of Heaven and Earth and murmured silently.

If not for the shock of residual will within that world, he could have never held out.

The final rage and struggle led directly to the ascent of his Primordial Spirit.

He ought to be grateful!

Still, thinking back to the cleansing of the impurities from this first-tier Immortal Pill gave him the chills—he definitely did not wish to experience it again anytime soon.

It was simply too arduous.

Yet with his Primordial Spirit greatly enhanced, next time would no doubt be far easier.

Without delay—

Xu Yang eagerly swallowed the Four-Star Concentration Elixir in a single gulp!

Boom!

In an instant, torrents of starlight burst into every bone, encasing his Dantian and flooding his Immortal Seed.

For a moment, Xu Yang felt himself standing amidst the splendor of vast, shining stars, with thick and majestic essence enveloping him, bringing shocking refinement and accumulation.

This time he hadn’t refined the pill into Purest Essence Qi, simply wanting to directly experience its effects.

The power was indeed formidable, shaking every limb, bringing immense impact.

Yet he withstood it with almost no difficulty at all.

This laid plain proof—his strength had already reached the True Immortal level.

Buzz!

After half an hour.

Xu Yang opened his eyes slowly, feeling utterly refreshed.

"No wonder it’s a first-tier Immortal Pill—at least equal to a month of bitter training!"

"Pity there are only two!"

Xu Yang took out the second one, eyes blazing with heat.

"Must think of a way to get Bai Jie to buy a few more." Xu Yang licked his lips, pondering how to pass the message on to Bai Jie.

For quite a while.

He put aside stray thoughts and directly began driving out the impurities from the second Four-Star Concentration Elixir.

With the boost to his Primordial Spirit and the effect of taking one already, he was confident he could complete it in a day.

Cleansing the second Four-Star Concentration Elixir of its impurities went off without a hitch, everything orderly and smooth.

Thanks to his improved strength, the refining sped up.

At last, on the verge of falling asleep, he finally achieved success.

Afterwards, Xu Yang didn’t bother to check, but immediately entered cultivation to restore his energy.

Next day.

The shattering wave at the edge of the courtyard imprints was like a thunderbolt, blasting Xu Yang awake from his stupor.

He sprang up from the bed in a shock.

Opened the door and stepped out.

Lu Chuan stood in the yard, scanning a spot on the ground.

Obviously, he’d instantly noticed the minor trick Xu Yang had left.

Hearing the noise, he glanced up, half-smiling, "Trying to do something shady, are you?"

Xu Yang hurriedly shook his head, "Mr. Lu, you misunderstand—just worried Mr. Bai might disturb my alchemy, wanted to be prepared!"

Lu Chuan laughed dryly; whether he believed it or not, who could tell.

He did not pursue the matter further.

"Come out with me."

Out?

Xu Yang’s heart gave a jolt—confused but quickly nodded.

Leaving the courtyard.

A village came into view.

The layout was simple—rows of stone and wooden houses and small towers, spaced amply apart on both sides, in between stood giant ancient trees shading the scene.

Neighbors kept their distance, but not too far.

A wide road ran through the center.

Behind lay a stretch of sheer mountains—not too tremendous, but compared to the village, quite imposing.

It was Xu Yang’s first time leaving the compound and seeing the outside world since his arrival in the Immortal Domain, Black and White Star Sky.

Compared to the mortal realm, there were both similarities and differences.

Lu Chuan led Xu Yang straight towards the hills.

After about half a incense’s time.

They arrived midway up a high peak.

The place was broad and level, and a huge cave gaped before them.

Seeing the cave, Xu Yang guessed this was probably Lu Chuan’s usual retreat for secluded cultivation.

Remembering Bai Jie’s previous assumptions about Lu Chuan, he wasn’t sure whether the guy might have some peculiar secrets.

"Sir, I wonder how the Purple Sun Saber is coming along?"

Xu Yang probed.

Purple Sun Saber was a random name he’d invented for the four Daluo Sabers.

At the mention, Lu Chuan’s face darkened and shot a baleful glare at Xu Yang, "You think a third-tier Immortal Artifact is so readily refined?"

Xu Yang grinned sheepishly, snickering inwardly.

This fellow knew just how to comfort himself.

A third-tier Immortal Artifact was no trivial matter.

Clearly, Lu Chuan wasn’t suspicious of his explanation.

But if he learned it was a Daluo Immortal Artifact—who knows if he’d keel over from fury.

A Daluo Immortal Artifact—the strongest in all of Black and White Star Sky, where even Golden Immortal Realm experts were capped!

Perhaps the top immortal sects here didn’t even have one handed down in their legacy!

With just True Immortal cultivation, even a genuine third-tier Immortal Artifact was hard to control—let alone a Daluo Immortal Artifact.

Possessing a supreme treasure, but forced to treat it as ’trash’!

That feeling, truly something else!

"Your Immortal Gang Elixir and Cloud Light Elixir, I’ve examined both—results are impressive; for these two pills, most Pill Master apprentices rarely succeed at refining them. It fully proves your Alchemy Dao talent!"

Outside the cave, Lu Chuan stared at Xu Yang and smiled, "I brought you here this time to have you refine a certain pill—the Cold Frost Elixir!"

"This pill can freeze the Human Primordial Spirit, and one Cold Frost Elixir is worth three to five times a Cloud Light Elixir. Among pre-ranked pills, it counts as top-tier."

"If you can refine it successfully, I’ll allow you freedom in Baimu Village, and may even reward you handsomely—such as a top-tier Divine Weapon, or an Immortal Elixir to boost your Primordial Spirit."

Swish!

Lu Chuan flicked his sleeve.

A sapphire spirit saber and a wooden box appeared out of nowhere.

Xu Yang’s pupils narrowed.

Just for alchemy?

Why go to all this trouble here?

He felt suspicious; as for the saber and elixir before him, he quietly scoffed.

After seizing my Daluo Immortal Artifact, controlling my freedom and even my life—what use are these?

Still, he cooperated and put on a look of excitement.

"Mr. Lu, I dare not claim success, but I’ll give it my all!"

"Excellent—come in with me."

Lu Chuan turned and headed into the cave.
