Chapter 1555: Chapter 33: Stepping into the Unity Realm! (Part 2)

Feeling the changes within his body, his heart was filled with a faint joy.

For a First-Grade Martial Artist, achieving a balance of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, culminating in Mixed Element, and deriving the Mixed Element Domain is extremely difficult.

But going further, compressing, sublimating, and transforming these three powers within the inner world, creating Divine Power, is an even greater difficulty.

Yet now he has refined the first strand of Divine Power, which symbolizes stepping into the Unity Realm.

Throughout the entire process, he did not feel any difficulty.

Far less difficult than what he understood before.

The integration of the three energies was as smooth as the flow of water, without the processes of compression and sublimation.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, with golden threads flashing through them.

He stood up straight, and his body’s joints emitted a dense, soft sound, like the first crack of spring ice.

"How do you feel?"

Ji Mingyue had also finished counting the pill cabinets, now sitting by the bronze furnace, roasting the fire with her palm on her chin, the fire casting a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Very good." Jiang Ning slightly smiled, nodded: "The Dragon Blood Green Immortal Vine truly is a rare treasure; its vine body reshapes the physique, its immortal buds cleanse the divine soul. Now my physical and mental states have both restored to their peak, with improvements in strength, and even a further advancement in realm!"

"A further advancement in realm?" Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning with a surprised and somewhat incredulous expression.

At that moment.

Jiang Ning raised his right index finger, and a strand of golden thread emerged from his fingertip, circling around.

"This is?!!" Ji Mingyue’s pupils contracted.

"The first strand of Divine Power!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue’s expression trembled.

"How did you achieve this?"

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit further advanced, happening naturally!" Jiang Ning replied.

While speaking.

The strand of golden thread on his fingertip drilled back into his body.

Then countless faint golden lights like raindrops scattered within his body.

The smoothness of this step exceeded his imagination.

But this is merely the first step into the Unity Realm.

To achieve it is to integrate this power into every cell of his body, making each cell a carrier of Divine Power.

Divine Power filling every corner and every cell of the body is the Great Success of the Unity Realm.

According to what he knows, the previous Prince Huaian was at such a realm.

It is called the Martial Arts Peak.

The so-called peak is reaching the actual pinnacle from Martial Arts Nine Grade to First Grade.

Ahead, there is no road.

The so-called strongest title is earned through battling with strength bit by bit.

In terms of realm, the strongest and the Martial Arts Peak are not substantially different.

And having taken this step, his next goal is the peak.

But that road is still very long.

Because integrating Divine Power into every cell of the body, making each cell a carrier of Divine Power, requires a long time to hone.

To shorten this process, one must enhance Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Currently, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit bloom in three flowers, with seven petals blooming, still not strong enough at the highest level of Martial Arts.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue saw Jiang Ning’s expression and felt relieved.

"That’s good." She spoke softly, continuing: "Having reached this point, I am truly relieved!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Soon after, Ji Mingyue recalled something, pointing to several open pill cabinets behind.

"This pill room stores quite a lot of medicine; I took a rough look, and there are quite a few fine pills for nurturing the spirit, supplementing the soul, healing, strengthening the blood, opening wisdom, consolidating Qi...and so on."

"When added together, it’s not low at all!"

Jiang Ning nodded and walked to the pill cabinets, his eyes scanning the rows of jade and porcelain bottles of varying sizes.

Ji Mingyue guided from the side: "I’ve roughly categorized them by medicinal properties; the cabinet on the left mostly contains pills for strengthening the foundation and supplementing Qi-blood. The middle ones focus on nurturing the divine soul, soothing the mind and spirit. The right ones are rare pills for detoxification, healing, barrier-breaking, breakthrough assistance."

Jiang Ning nodded, casually picking up a green jade bottle labeled with a Red Sun Blood Refining Pill.

Opening the stopper gently to sniff, a fierce yet mellow medicinal power wafted in, faintly tinged with the smell of blood.

Obviously refined using the Essence Blood of some powerful demon beast, it has a miraculous effect on tempering Qi-blood and strengthening the physique.

He picked up another small white porcelain jar with a vermilion label of Condensed Soul Frost Cream.

Opened the lid, inside was a semi-transparent ointment like cream, cool to the touch, refreshing the soul, evidently top-quality for nourishing the spirit.

"Cross Immortal Gate’s hundreds of years of accumulation is indeed abundant." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Although these pills are mostly not as high-grade as the treasures in the secret vault, they are complete in variety and considerable in quantity, with many of them aiding in consolidating his realm and replenishing the daily exhaustion of cultivation.

He pondered for a moment.

He waved his hand, and the lids of the pill bottles on the counter opened one after another.

Then, he opened his mouth wide, and one pill after another flew into his mouth.

His open mouth at this moment was like a bottomless cave, swallowing the pills without causing the slightest ripple.

This lasted for dozens of breaths.

Only then did he close his mouth.

Then he returned to the mat from before, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes again.

Although these pills in the pill room aren’t all useful to him now, the materials of these pills are all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are precisely important sources of Source Energy Points.

In such a situation now, he knows that improving his strength is the primary element.

And the enhancement of strength is closely linked with Source Energy Points.

Though these pills cannot directly enhance his strength, he does not want to miss out on the growth of Source Energy Points.

In the next moment.

His body seemed like a melting furnace, with surging heat waves pouring out from inside him.

He was operating the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill, a secret technique from the Medicine King Valley, the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill.

This technique uses Qi-Blood as fuel, turning the body into a furnace, with the ability to purify pills and remove erysipelas within them.

At this moment, he was ingesting large quantities of pills indiscriminately, requiring the assistance of such a secret technique.

...

After a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Hoo——

He opened his mouth and exclaimed a black smoke was spat out from his mouth, suddenly the window in front opened slightly, and the black smoke gushed out through the seam.

A hint of a smile appeared on his face.

This black smoke just now was sourced from the erysipelas in the pills.

"Feasible!" he nodded to himself.

He could feel most of the erysipelas within the pills were refined out, with only a very small amount remaining in his body.

Compared to the initial amount, what’s remaining is not even a hundredth.

This little burden in his heart did not bother him anymore.

Then, he continued to ingest the remaining pills, continuing to operate the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill to refine these pills.

Persisting again and again in cycles.

After an hour and a half.

On the pill cabinet, there were only some empty bottles left, and the pills contained within had all been refined by him.

"Although the quality isn’t there, the accumulation of quantity, the effect is still quite good!"

Feeling the growth of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he took a slight break, allowing his body to return to calm.

Then took out Dust Cleansing Pill, Blood Essence Pill, Concentrating Spirit Jelly, and other things like Spiritual Milk.

He first placed a Dust Cleansing Pill into his mouth, the pill dissolved upon entering his stomach, the gentle medicinal power flowed like a clear spring throughout his body, slowly cleansing the minute impurities and dark injuries hidden within his blood and meridians.

He only felt his pores slightly open, threads of gray-white impure energy exhaled with his breath, his body becoming more translucent and crystalline, and the circulation of his Qi-Blood became more harmonious without hindrance.

"Good stuff, worthy of being placed within the secret vault!" He sensed the feedback from his body, and his eyes brightened slightly.

This pill, although not as miraculous as the Dragon Blood Green Immortal Vine, had the wonder of strengthening the foundation and clarifying the physique, greatly benefiting his somewhat shaky current state.

Having just refined many pills, it precisely matched the effects of the Dust Cleansing Pill.

Then, he took the remaining Dust Cleansing Pills one by one and refined them.

After completely consuming them, his body felt more relaxed, his physique increasingly translucent and crystalline.

He then took out the Blood Essence Pill.

This pill has the effect of increasing Qi-Blood.

Just as the pill entered his stomach, a vast and hot Qi Blood Power erupted suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, it rushed through his limbs and bones.

His Heart Spirit calmed intensely, as he circulated his Qi-Blood to guide this power into his body, transforming it into the resources for Qi-Blood growth.

At the heart, the Essence Flower blooms with a brilliant red glow.

The total amount of Qi-Blood within him climbed, faint echoes of thunder resonated within his body.

Then, Jiang Ning took the Concentrating Spirit Jelly.

This jelly is semi-transparent amber-like, cool to the touch, he used his fingertips to pick out a soybean-sized piece, and placed it on his forehead. As it touched the skin, it permeated into the Spirit Platform, transforming into a clear spring-like power for spiritual nourishment, soothing the subtle fatigue and agitation deep within the Divine Soul.

In the Spirit Platform, the Divine Flower flowed with silver light, its petals unfolding.
