After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 197 Breakthrough to the Mid-Stage of Core Formation

"Alright, now that you've moved to a new cave, how do you plan to improve your alchemy skills?" Tuntian asked Ye Xiaobai curiously.

"Senior, it's like this. My cultivation level is currently low, and my spiritual sense and spiritual power are limited. It takes a lot of effort to refine sixth-grade pills. If I want to refine seventh-grade pills, my primary goal now is to improve my cultivation level!" Ye Xiaobai explained.

"Then why aren't you cultivating? What are you waiting for?" Devouring Heaven asked, puzzled.

"Senior, you don't know, I have four elemental roots and extremely poor talent. With normal cultivation, it would take decades to advance to the mid-stage of Core Formation. Only by relying on a large number of pills can I have a chance to advance in a short time!"

"Then just use pills to improve. You're a pill master after all! You can't possibly lack pills, can you?"

"Senior, to tell you the truth, I do lack some pill formulas suitable for improving cultivation in the Core Formation stage. You used to accompany the Five Elements Venerable, so you should know quite a few pill formulas, right?" Ye Xiaobai said with a fawning expression.

"I give up. So you're just missing a pill formula. How about we exchange twenty bottles of top-grade spirit essence pills for a pill formula?" Devouring Heaven suggested.

"Deal!" Ye Xiaobai immediately agreed. Such a good deal, Ye Xiaobai was even worried that Senior Devouring Heaven would regret it. After speaking, Ye Xiaobai directly tossed twenty bottles of top-grade Spirit Essence Pills to Devouring Heaven.

After receiving the pill, Tuntian directly gave Ye Xiaobai a pill formula—the Tongxuan Pill.

Upon obtaining this precious pill formula, Ye Xiaobai was overjoyed. He clutched it tightly, as if it were a priceless treasure. Eager to learn more about the Tongxuan Pill, he began studying it meticulously without hesitation.

His gaze was focused and earnest, not missing a single detail. Each line of text was like a key, unlocking the mysteries in his heart and giving him a deeper understanding of the refining of the Profound Pill. As time passed, he gradually became immersed in it, forgetting everything around him.

During this process, Ye Xiaobai's excitement and anticipation grew stronger. He knew that the Tongxuan Pill was an extremely precious elixir, and if he could successfully refine it, it would greatly benefit his cultivation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil, filled with motivation and determination.

In the days that followed, Ye Xiaobai devoted himself entirely to refining the Tongxuan Pill. He constantly tried various methods, adjusted the proportions of the medicinal ingredients, controlled the heat, and strived to find the optimal refining conditions. Although he encountered some difficulties along the way, he never gave up and relentlessly pursued perfection.

Finally, after countless trials and improvements, Ye Xiaobai found the optimal formula for refining the Profound Enlightenment Pill. He carefully prepared all the materials and followed the instructions step by step. At crucial moments, he was completely focused and dared not relax for a moment.

When the final step was completed, Ye Xiaobai anxiously awaited the result. He stared intently at the alchemy furnace, hoping to see the Profound Enlightenment Pill appear. Finally, a slight vibration came from within the furnace, followed by a rich medicinal fragrance wafting out. A joyful smile spread across Ye Xiaobai's face, for he knew he had succeeded!

Upon opening the alchemy furnace, a crystal-clear Tongxuan Pill, radiating a strange light, appeared before him. Ye Xiaobai picked up the Tongxuan Pill, feeling its powerful medicinal properties, his heart filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. He knew that this Tongxuan Pill would become a great help on his cultivation path, bringing him more opportunities and challenges.

Ye Xiaobai decided to preserve the Profound Enlightenment Pill carefully and continue his research into alchemy, striving to refine more and better pills. He believed that as long as he persevered and worked hard, he would surely achieve greater success in the future. Filled with confidence and expectation, Ye Xiaobai embarked on a new journey.

Ten days later, Ye Xiaobai successfully refined a top-grade Profound Enlightenment Pill, which emitted an alluring fragrance, was crystal clear, and contained no impurities. He was extremely satisfied with the high quality of this pill. His next step was to consume the Profound Enlightenment Pill to enhance his cultivation.

Ye Xiaobai carefully placed the Tongxuan Pill into his mouth, then sat cross-legged and began circulating his spiritual energy. As the medicinal effects of the Tongxuan Pill gradually took hold, he felt a powerful force surge into his heart, constantly impacting his meridians and acupoints. This feeling was both painful and exhilarating, causing him to let out a long howl.

Under the influence of the Profound Enlightenment Pill, Ye Xiaobai's cultivation level increased rapidly. Already at the early stage of Core Formation, this further propelled his cultivation to new heights.

Finally, after the medicinal power of the Profound Enlightenment Pill was fully absorbed, Ye Xiaobai's cultivation level improved significantly. At this moment, his aura became much stronger, and his entire body exuded a terrifying pressure. Feeling the changes in himself, Ye Xiaobai was filled with joy and confidence.

After this period of secluded cultivation, Ye Xiaobai not only successfully refined a top-grade Tongxuan Pill, but also used its medicinal power to enhance his cultivation. Now, his strength surpasses that of the past, and he can be said to have gained a great deal.

Next, he needs to consolidate his cultivation and refine more top-grade Tongxuan Pills. Ye Xiaobai feels that he can definitely advance to the mid-stage of the Core Formation stage within two years.

really!

After a year and seven months of secluded cultivation, Ye Xiaobai finally broke through his own limits and successfully entered the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm.

For more than a year, he had been focused on cultivation and had hardly stepped out of his cave.

Every day, he tirelessly refines pills, cultivates, absorbs spiritual energy, condenses true essence, and practices techniques and magical treasures. Now, his strength has significantly improved; not only has his true essence become more powerful, but his mastery of spells and magical treasures has also become more proficient and effortless.

However, Ye Xiaobai was not satisfied with this. He knew that the path of cultivation was long and arduous, and that each stage required tremendous effort to achieve a breakthrough.

Ye Xiaobai originally wanted to continue cultivating and break through to a higher realm, but Tuntian had already begun urging Ye Xiaobai to refine seventh-grade pills.

Ye Xiaobai had no choice but to stop his cultivation and consider refining the Profound Origin Pill.

The Profound Origin Pill is a seventh-grade pill, an extremely precious healing elixir. Even a Core Formation stage cultivator on the verge of death can recover 50% of their combat power after consuming a Profound Origin Pill. A top-grade Profound Origin Pill can directly restore peak combat power.

Before, Tuntian was injured in an accident while searching for treasure in a secret realm with the Five Elements Venerable, which is why he needed this elixir to heal his wounds.

"So, now that you're in the mid-stage of Core Formation, how confident are you in refining this Profound Origin Pill?" Tuntian asked Ye Xiaobai, whose strength had improved rapidly.

"Five points!" Ye Xiaobai said uncertainly.

"How come you only got five points? Aren't you already in the mid-stage of Core Formation? Can't you still refine seventh-grade pills?" Tuntian asked, slightly annoyed.

"I've never seen or am unfamiliar with the spiritual herbs used to refine the Profound Origin Pill before, so I'm not very confident about it. But as long as I become more familiar with them in the future, the probability of successfully refining it will greatly increase!" Ye Xiaobai quickly explained.

"So, the next step is to collect the spiritual herbs needed for the Profound Origin Pill?"

"Exactly!"
