Chapter 128: Chapter 97: Transcending Mortality and the Heir of Martial Arts Secret Realm? (Please Subscribe)

If one were to say that prior to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn Realm, the cultivation process involved tempering each part of the body,

then the Seventh Layer of Dining Dawn Realm would be akin to purification and transformation of one’s very being.

The so-called Golden Refine Chapter is a process in which Star Power is incessantly stimulated to temper the whole body, known as Refining Skin, Refining Meat, Refining Blood, Bone Refining, and Refining Internal Organs.

But this tempering happens simultaneously.

Once the entire body has been tempered by Star Power and is as translucent as jade, one can then stimulate Star Power to continuously purify oneself, with flows of Star Power surging like floodwaters. This strengthens the tempering and eliminates bodily impurities, enhancing one’s fundamental essence.

This step is also called Transcending Mortality!

Completing this step signifies shedding mundane flesh and bone, bursting with vitality!

Everything becomes vastly different from that of a normal person.

Take the speed of recovery, for example.

An injury that takes a regular person a hundred days to recover from, after completing this step, would take significantly less time.

Even in cases of broken bones, a cultivator would need at most half a month to heal.

For a regular person, a common knife wound takes seven to ten days to heal, but a cultivator only needs one to two days.

Their lifespan is also different.

Just by completing this step, one can live to eighty without suffering from illnesses or disasters.

According to the latest interrogation by the Star Patrol Guard, why did Zhao Bo, the wealthiest man in Jinshan County, join the Fighting God Sect and donate six hundred thousand taels of silver?

It is said to be in pursuit of longevity.

The Fighting God Sect promised him that he could reach the Ninth Layer of Star Refining within three months and live over a hundred years without illnesses or disasters.

In this world, cultivation can also extend one’s life, but the extension is extremely limited.

The lifespan limit for someone in the Star Refining Realm, Star Condensing Realm, or even Gathering Battle Realm is only around 120 years.

Unfortunately, the Star Patrol Guard searched the entire Thousand Leaf Island and did not find the six hundred thousand taels Zhao Bo mentioned.

And on the bodies of the executed Star Officer, Gu Jianfei, and his followers, the silver found did not exceed ten thousand taels.

The interrogation is still ongoing, but it’s said that Zhao Bo is nearly broken.

There’s also some rather disconcerting news: Zhao Weizhen, Zhao Bo’s second son who has a talent for cultivation, and his family are nowhere to be found.

They did not flee from Jinshan County.

Years ago, they had entered the National Taoist Institute and were cultivating in Wanyi at the Dachen National Daoist School.

When the Dachen National Daoist School tried to apprehend Zhao Weizhen and his family, they had already completely vanished from Wanyi, leaving the officers empty-handed.

Zhao Weizhen entered the Jinshan Taoist Institute in the year 1753 of the Dou Calendar and was selected for the Dachen National Daoist School a year later. Before his disappearance, his cultivation level was at the Fourth Layer of Star Condensing Realm.

After leaving Ning Yuchan, Xu Jin’s first stop was directly at the Pill Room.

In the Seventh Layer of Dining Dawn Realm, as one must stimulate Star Power like a flood to purify themselves, medicinal pills are necessary. The required pill is the Transcendence Pill.

Each practice session consumes one Transcendence Pill.

Practicing the Golden Refine Chapter in combination with a Transcendence Pill can achieve the effect of purification, and generally, after three such purifications, with a 30% increase in the total amount of Star Power, it is considered reaching the peak of the Seventh Layer of Dining Dawn and one can then attempt Star Casting.

"Transcendence Pill? You’ve reached the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn?" The Pill Room Master was quite surprised.

Already familiar with Xu Jin since he was the disciple who had bought the most pills from him during this season, especially the Rejuvenation Pills and Mental Awakening Pills.

In his mind, it was simply impossible for Xu Jin to have advanced this quickly after an eighty-three-day Star Pointing event.

"I just had a breakthrough, my teacher sent me to buy Transcendence Pills," Xu Jin said.

Hearing that Xu Jin had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn, the Pill Room Manager immediately treated Xu Jin differently.

No other reason, but every disciple who breaks through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn must come here to receive or buy Transcendence Pills.

As for keeping track of the disciples’ cultivation progress, this Pill Room Manager was the most knowledgeable.

In this season’s Star-pointing Disciples, Xu Jin was the fifth one to come for the Transcendence Pills. Ranked before Xu Jin were only Yue Daqi, Lu Xianbing, Ren Xiaoxiang, and Yu Guan.

Not only this, but the Pill Room Manager was also aware of another fact, such as Yue Daqi, the first in this Star-pointing Season, who broke through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn three days after Star Pointing. He achieved this half a month ago, whereas Xu Jin, who took eighty-three days, had just now broken through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn, taking a total of sixty-five days less cultivation time than Yue Daqi.

Such a cultivation speed, faster than the first in this season’s Star-pointing, with such a genius speed of cultivation, was definitely worth his welcoming smile.

"Lord Xu, according to the rules of the Daoist Institute, a disciple who has just broken through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn can receive five Transcendence Pills. Normally, one pill is used each day, continuing cultivation for five days straight. Those five Transcendence Pills should be enough to complete the first purification.

Afterwards, about every five to ten Transcendence Pills can complete another purification.

Generally speaking, buying another two bottles should be enough," said the Pill Room Manager.

"Then give me two bottles."

Quickly, the Pill Room Manager handed over two and a half bottles of Transcendence Pills to Xu Jin. At one hundred taels of silver per pill, they were quite expensive, with two bottles costing two thousand taels.

But now, Xu Jin could afford it.

Besides, as long as the disciples have broken through to the Dining Dawn Realm, they should be able to afford it. At most, they would have enough after two or three trips of mountain picking.

"By the way, do you have any other pills that restore Divine Soul Power?" Xu Jin asked.

"For Divine Soul Power, we have the top-grade Rejuvenation Pill."

"Is there anything else?"

"No, generally, even for Star Refining Realm, the top-grade Rejuvenation Pill should be sufficient."

"What about pills that restore Star Power?"

"There are quite a few pills that restore Star Power. There’s the top-grade Star Refilling Pill, which has twice the recovery effect of a regular Star Refilling Pill, and the Three Elements Star Returning Pill, which is much more potent, four times as effective as the top-grade Star Refilling Pill. They are usually only used by those in the Late Period of Star Refining or by those in the Star Condensing Realm," explained the Pill Room Manager.

"Let’s get one of each then."
