These seven aspects, like seven pillars supporting a spiritual edifice, were all nourished by the Bodhi Pill’s medicinal power, receiving a balanced and gentle enhancement. This was unlike other Martial Artists who took the Bodhi Pill and could only improve two or three of these aspects.
However, because of this, enhancing each aspect consumed a corresponding amount of medicinal power, far more than what other Martial Artists required.
The Bodhi Pill’s power, which would have been enough to cause a huge surge in an ordinary Martial Artist’s Spiritual Power, was instead evenly distributed across the seven dimensions. As a result, the increase in the explicit metric of pure Spiritual Power was not as dramatic as expected; in fact, it was far from it.
But Xia Wuyang knew deep down that this was the most suitable path for him—and the best one.
Other Martial Artists couldn’t achieve this even if they wanted to.
The core of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Talent lay in the balanced development and synergy of these seven spiritual dimensions; there could not be the slightest imbalance.
One-sidedly pursuing a massive increase in Spiritual Power might boost the might of Spiritual Attacks like the Soul Enchantment Technique in the short term, making it seem like a rapid growth in strength.
But in the long run, it could destroy the balance of the seven dimensions, affect more fundamental potential like Comprehension and creativity, and even shake the very Foundation of his talent, leading to hidden dangers.
Therefore, he was not disappointed that the Bodhi Pill’s power was being spread across all seven dimensions; on the contrary, he was delighted.
The medicinal power of a single Bodhi Pill lasted for dozens of hours before it was completely absorbed.
The effects were immediate. Although the total increase in his Spiritual Power seemed equivalent to only a few days of his usual diligent cultivation, the qualitative leap in his overall cognitive abilities and cultivation efficiency from the comprehensive enhancement of all seven dimensions was tangible and far beyond anyone’s imagination.
His speed in comprehending the Vajra Unbreakable Techniques had clearly increased, he had many new inspirations for using the Enchanting Heart Scripture, and he even felt that processing various information in his daily life was easier and more efficient... All of this was thanks to the Bodhi Pill.
After continuously consuming and digesting several Bodhi Pills, it was just past midnight on this day.
In the center of the dazzling spiritual Star River within his Sea of Consciousness, a brand new point of starlight suddenly ignited. It rapidly grew and solidified, shining in concert with the other four hundred and sixty-nine points of Spiritual Power.
Four hundred and seventy points!
The accumulation of another ten points of Spiritual Power was complete. The opportunity for an epiphany from his Seven-Aperture Exquisite Talent had arrived, right on schedule!
With the help of the Bodhi Pills, he had gained another ten points of Spiritual Power in just a fraction of the time it used to take.
This time, Xia Wuyang didn’t hesitate to use this precious opportunity for an epiphany on Alchemy itself, to elevate his Alchemy Skill.
He wanted to break through the final barrier in one fell swoop and officially step into the ranks of Middle Level Spirit Pill Masters!
Although he was currently only a Low Level True Monarch, his Companion Talent Tree had deep roots and a strong trunk. He possessed three times the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of other True Monarchs at his level, making him in no way inferior to Middle Level True Monarchs.
Therefore, elevating his Alchemy across realms was not difficult for him.
BUZZ...
Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, it was as if thousands of Pill Furnaces roared in unison, the sound echoing throughout his body.
Countless insights regarding Spirit Material processing, fire control, Pill Formation mastery, Energy Fusion, Pill Pattern condensation, and even deeper comprehensions of the Alchemy Dao... all surged into his consciousness like a bursting river, completely submerging him.
From the clumsiness of his first attempts at the Mortal Pill Technique to the joy of successfully refining his first batch of Elixirs; from the hardship of repeatedly trying to create Top Level Mortal Pills to the breakthrough of crossing the threshold to become a Spirit Pill Master; from the exploration of improving various Pill Formulas to the magnificent feat of refining the Bodhi Pill far above his level...
Every past experience with Alchemy—whether success or failure, easy or difficult—now transformed into the most precious nourishment. Under the illuminating light of his epiphany, these memories were re-chewed, digested, and sublimated... becoming the driving force for his breakthrough.
He saw the more fundamental laws of energy interaction between Spirit Materials of different attributes. He touched upon the secrets of energy flow hidden behind the temperature curves of the Pill Fire. He understood even more deeply that the formation of a Pill Pattern was not just a manifestation of condensed medicinal power, but also an external sign that the Elixir’s internal energy structure had reached a state of perfect balance... The connections between these concepts were profound, far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.
A vast amount of fragmented knowledge, experience, and intuition... was now being strung together, integrated, and elevated by an invisible hand... A previously hazy barrier to the realm of a Middle Level Spirit Pill Master became increasingly clear before his eyes, and also increasingly fragile, as if it would shatter in the next moment.
The tide of epiphany slowly receded. Xia Wuyang opened his eyes, and for a fleeting moment, two clusters of faint, silver Pill Fire seemed to flash within them.
His aura now contained not only the rush of a river, the majesty of a dragon and tiger, and the profundity of his Spirit, but also an ineffable quality of harmony and clarity befitting a master of the Alchemy Dao.
He slowly opened his palm, and a thought flickered in his mind.
A wisp of azure River True Qi and a strand of faint silver Dragon Tiger Spiritual Blood Power materialized three feet above his palm. They condensed and intertwined, slowly rotating, faintly outlining the translucent, miniature phantom of a Pill Furnace!
Within the furnace, motes of medicinal light even flickered, as if simulating the Alchemy process, looking utterly bizarre.
This was not true Alchemy, but a profound manifestation created by the fusion of his Spiritual Power and his own energy after his Understanding of Pill Dao reached a new height. It represented his extraordinary attainments in Alchemy.
"A Middle Level Spirit Pill Master... I’ve finally achieved it."
Xia Wuyang whispered the title, a genuine smile finally gracing his lips. How could he not be happy about achieving such a cross-level promotion?
Although he had yet to officially refine a new batch of Middle Level Spirit Pills for certification, he already knew in his heart that he had broken through that threshold. Besides, he had already successfully refined a Middle Level Spirit Pill long ago.
The rest was just a matter of letting things take their natural course, using actual refining to solidify his new realm. It would not be difficult for him.
He retracted the Pill Furnace phantom in his palm and his gaze fell upon the Jade Box in the corner, which held the remaining Bodhi Pills and numerous Spirit Materials. He felt more confident than ever.
’There are still quite a few Bodhi Pills left, enough to support me in pushing my Spiritual Power to an even higher level. Now that I’m a Middle Level Spirit Pill Master, refining them will be much easier.’
’My comprehension and fusion of the Vajra Unbreakable Techniques is also progressing. It won’t be long before I succeed.’
’And the realm of a Middle Level Spirit Pill Master is a key that unlocks even more treasure vaults of resources. I must make good use of it.’
...
A clear blueprint was slowly unfolding in Xia Wuyang’s mind.
Outside the window, the storm that had been brewing for so long finally broke. Accompanied by a flash of lightning that tore the sky asunder and a deafening peal of thunder, a downpour descended, crashing down all over White Jade City.
Fat raindrops hammered down on the roof tiles, creating a thunderous rattle that instantly washed away the accumulated heat and dust of the past few days, bringing a rare, cool respite.
And inside Wenhua Hall, amidst the thunder and rain, a more violent storm of cultivation, one belonging to Xia Wuyang alone, was quietly beginning a new Chapter.
