The seven-day competition has finally ended!
The one hundred and eight Alchemy geniuses all flew out of the Dan Cauldron with tired faces, appearing on the square.
After they came out, they all looked up at the list suspended in mid-air.
They saw that the first place on the list was none other than Li Qinglian!
This made many people beat their chests and stomp their feet. It was precisely because Li Qinglian made the decision first, seizing the initiative. This quick first step led to quick steps all the way, and she ultimately managed to snatch the title of Alchemy champion!
"I, I actually won first place in the grand competition! Is, is this real?"
Li Qinglian shouted in surprise.
Her Sect Elder also showed a look of joy: "Well done! Well done!"
Su Yuan stood up, looked at Li Qinglian, and said: "Congratulations, Li Qinglian, you have successfully obtained the title of champion of the Dan Dao Gathering. I will personally reward you with a fourth-tier spirit fire. I hope you can surpass this old man in the future!"
With a wave of his hand, a spirit fire flew out from the Dan Cauldron and floated towards Li Qinglian.
Li Qinglian took the spirit fire in surprise and said with extreme gratitude: "Thank you for Elder Su's reward!"
"Hmm, and the top ten Alchemists will also receive spirit fire rewards!"
Nine clusters of third-tier spirit fire appeared on the Dan Cauldron and flew towards the remaining top ten Alchemists!
Everyone expressed their thanks repeatedly.
Third-tier spirit fire is not considered too precious, but the ones Su Yuan provided were rare varieties, quite hard to come by.
But in reality, for the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron, spirit fire has already been cultivated through Spirit Stones. This is the ability of the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron. As long as there are enough Spirit Stones and a seed of spirit fire, it can continuously produce spirit fire.
This is why Su Yuan was so generous.
Su Yuan nodded.
He surveyed the crowd and continued: "Next, there will be a three-day Dan Dao exchange meeting. Everyone can speak freely and share their insights on Dan Dao. After three days, the Artifact Spirit of my Dan Cauldron will select three Fellow Daoists who spoke the most, best, and most profoundly, and they will receive a reward."
"Who would like to go first, everyone?"
"I will!" Someone immediately responded.
Su Yuan smiled, looked at that person, who was indeed an Elder from the Sect Li Qinglian belonged to. Truly, a good disciple reflects a good teacher!
Soon, under his guidance, this Spirit Transformation Elder came to the center of the high platform and shared his Dan Dao experience.
"In my opinion, what is most important in Alchemy is not the medicinal properties and ratios, but the combination of the spiritual attributes of heaven and earth…"
Su Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened, it was a very profound Dan Dao experience.
As this Spirit Transformation Cultivator made a start, one Alchemist after another came forward to share their experiences. Some Alchemists would even debate others' viewpoints, making the entire gathering seem very much like a proper event.
Many people formed small circles and began discussing specific Medicinal Pill issues.
Su Yuan stood on the high platform, quietly listening to everyone's Dan Dao experiences.
Although everyone wouldn't bring out their most deeply held insights, for Su Yuan, it was already enough!
The gathering continued like this for another three days.
After everyone had finished speaking.
The Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron then selected three Cultivators, identifying them as the ones who contributed the most.
Among them was precisely the Spirit Transformation Elder from the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Sect Li Qinglian belonged to, whose Daoist title was Xue Jian.
This Spirit Transformation Elder truly didn't hold back. He spoke of many Dan Dao experiences without reservation, which was admirable.
The three Cultivators, along with Li Qinglian, sat cross-legged before Su Yuan. They had the Opportunity to observe Su Yuan's Alchemy process up close.
Su Yuan said: "The Dan Dao Gathering is nearing its end. This old man has benefited greatly this time. Taking this Opportunity, I will personally refine a Medicinal Pill. After the refining is complete, I will also share some of my own insights on Dan Dao. If there are any errors or omissions, please bear with me."
Everyone looked at Su Yuan with great anticipation.
At this moment, Su Yuan looked at the System panel.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Qingke Continent
[Level]: Renowned (53.5w/100w)
[Realm]: Foundation Establishment Realm Peak (99/100): Golden Star Realm Peak
[Entry 1]: [Labor and Rest Combination]: Current Rest Time: 101 days
[Entry 2]: Law of Nature
[Entry 3]: Seven Stars Shining Brightly
[Entry 4]: Mind Echo
[Entry 5]: Grand Elder's Demeanor: Late Refining Emptiness stage pressure
Su Yuan looked inward at his Dantian, and saw that on the nine Golden Stars, only three had Dao patterns carved onto them, with six still missing. Now he decided to add a Dao pattern related to Dan Dao to one of them!
When breaking through to the Golden Core, one can imprint Dao patterns onto the Golden Core. This Dao pattern will become the Foundation of a Cultivator's practice. Some choose Spell Dao patterns, transforming Spells into their innate Spells, while others imprint sword patterns, directly transforming the Golden Core into a sword pill, capable of breaking all techniques with a single sword strike in the future! The majority, however, imprint 'momentum' Realm Dao patterns, integrating their Dao Foundation into the Golden Core, allowing for a transition towards Conception in the future!
As for him, he currently chose Wood, Fire, and Metal Conception Dao patterns, which are clearly more Advanced than Spell Dao patterns and even more Advanced than 'momentum' Realm Dao patterns. Furthermore, he is preparing to integrate the four paths of Alchemy, Formation, Talisman, and Artifact into the Golden Stars, as well as the two Conceptions of Water and Earth, to compensate for his shortcomings.
Finally, he would coordinate all his insights with the Starry Sky Conception.
This way, his Golden Core Foundation would be as stable as the stars, flawless and perfect.
Countless thoughts turned in his mind. Finally, Su Yuan activated the entry [Labor and Rest Combination].
Activated once!
Activated twice!
Activated thrice!
Comprehension increased tenfold, scores of times, hundreds of times!
At this moment, Su Yuan felt like he had become a true cultivation Genius.
All sorts of doubts that arose during his past slacking were easily resolved at this moment.
Over the past ten days, various Dan Dao experiences and Alchemy techniques had all transformed into resources, becoming the fuel for Su Yuan's comprehension of Dan Dao.
Coupled with his previous experience of personally refining Medicinal Pills for comparison.
His Dan Dao level surged at an astonishing speed.
The four people closest to him saw Su Yuan close his eyes and did not disturb him.
Cultivators' Concept of time is different from Mortals'. It was merely adjusting his breathing, everyone could afford to wait.
Half an hour later, Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, which gleamed brightly. A ball of flame burned in his eyes. Countless Dan Dao experiences merged into one furnace and were integrated into his ultimate techniques.
The next moment, Su Yuan moved!
He abruptly stood up and stepped onto the ground. Immediately, streaks of starlight spread out from under his feet. Everyone retreated and stood up, giving up their positions on the ground.
They saw streaks of starlight rapidly carving a complex formation pattern on the ground. Lines of starlight connected quickly like flying dragons, gradually forming the shape of a Dan Cauldron.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the formation pattern on the ground finally converged, and then a ten-thousand-foot beam of light shot into the sky!
At this moment, the Big Dipper in the sky also erupted with astonishing brilliance, illuminating thick starlight pillars!
The starlight pillars descending from the sky and the light rising from the ground met in mid-air, then merged with each other, forming a Starry Sky Dan Cauldron as large as a mountain!
Everyone gaped, silently watching this astonishing change!
Su Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he looked into the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron. After devouring various Medicinal Pills, the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron could now condense a large amount of various spiritual liquids, especially from the Medicinal Pills provided by the various Alchemist geniuses earlier, which were all of extremely high quality.
These Medicinal Pills transformed into spiritual liquids, which could be used as secondary Materials for Alchemy.
Su Yuan reached out and guided. From the Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron, three hundred and sixty-five kinds of spiritual liquids flew up, like three hundred and sixty-five colorful ribbons, flying towards the sky and entering the Starry Sky Dan Cauldron!
Su Yuan flew up, instantly transforming into three hundred and sixty-five afterimages. Each afterimage was casting Alchemy hand seals, rapidly merging into the Starry Sky Dan Cauldron!
"What kind of Alchemy method is this?"
"Crazy! Too crazy!"
"This is using the sky as the lid, the earth as the base, and starlight as the furnace!"
"Those Alchemy hand seals are so profound, each one feels extremely extraordinary!"
"Quickly record this! We must study it thoroughly when we go back!"
At this moment, everyone was awed by Su Yuan's methods.
"How is this done?" Gu Sect Leader also exclaimed repeatedly.
Immortal Elder Nangong, on the other hand, sensed a trace of familiar fluctuation. It was the sensory experience gained from guarding the Immortal Seed Valley for many years—it was the fluctuation of space! He guessed the principle behind the method Su Yuan displayed, but the Patriarch's Secret Realm being actually refined by someone was even more outrageous!
The starry river above the Seven Stars Sect at this moment seemed to be pulled by Su Yuan, changing direction one after another and converging towards Su Yuan's Dan Cauldron!
Whether it was Cultivators practicing Seven Stars ultimate techniques or spiritual plants absorbing Seven Stars power, at this moment they all lost the starlight of the Big Dipper. They all turned towards the direction of that Dan Cauldron!
Ten thousand rays of starlight converged, drawing lines of starlight across the night sky.
That Starry Sky Dan Cauldron became increasingly solid. The three hundred and sixty-five kinds of spiritual liquids within were also tempered by starlight power, condensing into a ball of multicolored liquid medicine!
Seeing this, a large number of Alchemists were mesmerized, frantically memorizing and comprehending the profoundness of this scene.
This Alchemy scene was unforgettable.
At this moment, Su Yuan's True Essence was being consumed at a terrifying speed, but the Yuan Pool formation restriction within his body was also recovering at a terrifying speed!
Every few dozen seconds, he would consume all the magic power of a Golden Core, but the natural formation restriction completely withstood this consumption. This was the true value of a terrifying Dao Foundation, allowing him to display a terrifying total amount of magic power that seemed real!
Just over an hour.
Su Yuan finally opened an Alchemy hand seal and dropped it into the Starry Sky Dan Cauldron.
Subsequently, the entire Dan Cauldron exploded with a boom!
Like nine-colored fireworks, blooming in the sky!
Everyone's expressions changed, thinking the furnace had exploded.
However, after the Starry Sky Dan Cauldron disappeared, nine beads remained in place, surrounded by starlight, shining with seven-colored radiance.
Waves of enlightenment rose in Su Yuan's heart. The various insights gained during the Alchemy process sublimated one after another, and his understanding of Dan Dao entered another level.
Seven Stars Alchemy Technique is complete.
The Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron was overjoyed. With a large gulp, the rich divine charm on the nine Medicinal Pills was absorbed by it. Although its spiritual treasure grade didn't change, its progress towards enhancement increased significantly!
Li Qinglian asked at the right time: "Elder Su, what kind of pill is this?"
Hearing this, Su Yuan coughed for a while and said with a pale face: "This is the Seven-Colored Star Pill. It doesn't have a fixed grade. Cultivators at Spirit Transformation and below can all improve their Realm by taking it. Even those in the Spirit Transformation Realm can improve by a minor Realm. Of course, I suggest integrating it into the body for nurturing, which can improve the Dao Foundation."
With a wave of his hand, the nine Medicinal Pills were collected into his hand.
Then he said: "I will auction one on the spot. Those who are interested can bid! This old man is very short on Spirit Stones, so there's no other way, I can only trouble everyone to spend some money!"
Elder Xue Jian understood the hidden meaning upon hearing this and said: "Senior, you worked hard to refine the pills. For the two Seven-Colored Star Pills you gifted to me and my disciple, we will pay the Spirit Stones according to the auction price later!"
The other two were also speechless. They helplessly said similar words.
Su Yuan feigned anger and said: "I said I would reward you! You're making things difficult for me!"
Xue Jian smiled and said: "To have the Opportunity to purchase Senior Su's Medicinal Pills is already an unparalleled stroke of luck. We would also feel uneasy holding such treasures for free."
"Please agree, Senior!"
Su Yuan sighed: "Alright then, as for Spirit Stones and such, just give what you feel is appropriate!"
