343: Chapter 343 Purple Pill

He held the Jade Slip in his palm, moved his mind, and injected a wisp of spiritual energy. The Jade Slip instantly shone with crimson spiritual light, and lines of golden text slowly appeared in the air, clear and distinct.

Qin Changsheng calmed his mind, reading word by word, careful not to miss any details, and seriously reviewed all the precautions recorded in the Jade Slip.

"To Breakthrough to a Purple Core, one must use the golden spirit seed to condense Qi, the crimson flame fruit to temper the core, the purple-veined spirit grass to nourish the core body, and the mystic water jade dew to harmonize the spiritual energy. These four are indispensable; the spiritual materials must be refined in advance and cannot be injected directly into the Golden Core, otherwise, it will lead to spiritual energy disorder and the Golden Core will shatter..."

Qin Changsheng muttered to himself, a flash of understanding in his eyes. He committed every precaution to heart, repeatedly confirming them to ensure there were no mistakes, fearing that a moment of negligence would lead to a failed Breakthrough and ruin all his previous efforts.

After all, the Breakthrough from Golden Core to Purple Core was a critical step on the path of Cultivation, fraught with danger. A slight carelessness could result in a shattered Golden Core and the total loss of his Cultivation.

Qin Changsheng was always cautious, and this time he dared not be careless in the slightest. Only after fully understanding the steps, taboos, and precautions in the Jade Slip and confirming that he had mastered all the key points did he slowly withdraw his spiritual energy. The golden text on the Jade Slip gradually faded, returning to its simple appearance.

Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of determination in them. He raised his hand and waved his sleeve again. Amidst flickering spiritual light, the four rare spiritual materials flew out one after another, neatly arranged on the stone table in front of him. These were all the spiritual materials needed to Breakthrough to a Purple Core.

On the stone table, the purple-veined spirit grass was emerald green, its leaves covered with fine purple veins, emitting a pure nourishing power; the crimson flame fruit was as red as clouds, surrounded by warm heat, with rich and overbearing spiritual energy;

The golden spirit seed was translucent white, containing condensed spiritual energy with a soft glow; the mystic water jade dew was contained in a jade bottle, clear and transparent, emitting cool water vapor that could harmonize violent spiritual energy.

The four spiritual materials complemented each other, their spiritual energy intertwined, faintly forming a majestic power.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, composed his mind, and slowly circulated the spiritual energy within his body. His aura gradually became steady.

Following the steps recorded in the Jade Slip, he first picked up the purple-veined spirit grass, injected spiritual energy, and gently kneaded it, refining the juice and spiritual energy of the purple-veined spirit grass into a wisp of pure green spiritual light, which he slowly injected into his Dantian to nourish the Golden Core within.

As the green spiritual light entered his body, a warm sensation instantly came from his Dantian. The Golden Core, which had been rotating steadily, began to tremble slightly, and the spiritual energy around it became increasingly abundant.

Qin Changsheng's expression remained unchanged. He continued to operate according to the steps, picked up the crimson flame fruit, urged his spiritual energy, refined the heat and spiritual energy of the crimson flame fruit into a wisp of crimson spiritual light, and carefully injected it into his Dantian.

The crimson flame fruit was overbearing and fierce, the key to tempering the core, so it had to be done gradually, without haste.

The crimson spiritual light slowly merged into the Golden Core. The Golden Core instantly glowed with a faint red light, and the temperature around it suddenly rose. Qin Changsheng felt a burning sensation in his Dantian, but he remained focused, not wavering in the slightest.

Immediately after, he picked up the golden spirit seed, refined it into a translucent white spiritual light, and injected it into his Dantian. The pure spiritual energy of the golden spirit seed wrapped around the Golden Core, neutralizing the overbearing power of the crimson flame fruit and making the rotation of the Golden Core increasingly stable.

Finally, Qin Changsheng picked up the jade bottle containing the mystic water jade dew, gently poured out a drop of clear jade dew, and simultaneously refined the jade dew into a cool blue spiritual light with spiritual energy, slowly injecting it into his Dantian.

The cooling power of the mystic water jade dew instantly spread out, harmonizing the spiritual energy in his Dantian, soothing the burning sensation brought by the crimson flame fruit, and allowing the power of the four spiritual materials to perfectly fuse and rotate slowly around the Golden Core.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes tightly, sitting steadily on the meditation cushion, surrounded by layers of spiritual light. The power of the four spiritual materials slowly merged in his Dantian, orderly nourishing and tempering the Golden Core within.

He strictly adhered to the steps recorded in the Jade Slip, his mind as firm as a rock, not daring to be slack in the slightest, letting the power of the spiritual materials penetrate the Golden Core bit by bit, reshaping the Foundation of the Golden Core.

Inside the Dantian, the originally red Spirit Pill was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

The nourishing power of the purple-veined spirit grass made the Golden Core more rounded, the overbearing heat of the crimson flame fruit tempered the texture of the Golden Core, the pure spiritual energy of the golden spirit seed condensed the spiritual energy within the core, and the mystic water jade dew harmonized all the forces, making everything orderly. The originally faint red light was gradually replaced by a layer of rich purple light, which grew increasingly intense, like a prairie fire, sweeping across the entire Dantian, even staining the surrounding spiritual energy with a faint purple hue.

"Hum—" A low hum came from his Dantian. Qin Changsheng felt his whole body shake, and a majestic power instantly burst out from his Dantian, sweeping through all the Meridians of his body.

He could clearly feel that the Golden Core in his Dantian had completed its transformation. The original Spirit Pill had completely shed its red color, turning into a purple, fine-textured Purple Core, suspended in the center of the Dantian, emitting thick and condensed spiritual energy, which was more majestic and overbearing than the previous Spirit Pill.

Once the Purple Core was formed, the surrounding spiritual energy vortex instantly boiled. The spiritual energy in the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land poured into Qin Changsheng's body like a tide, flowing along his Meridians, and finally merged into his Dantian, slowly absorbed by the Purple Core.

Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant purple light flashing in them, then returned to calm, but the joy and shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

He raised his hand and urged the spiritual energy in his body. A force several times thicker than before instantly gathered at his fingertips. As the spiritual energy circulated, it was smooth and rapid, without the slightest stagnation.

Qin Changsheng's heart moved, and he carefully perceived his own changes, a knowing smile gradually appearing on his face.

He could clearly perceive that his mana had actually increased by a whole factor!

This qualitative change in mana far exceeded his expectations, allowing his strength to achieve a leap-forward improvement.

What surprised Qin Changsheng even more was that his Speed of absorbing spiritual energy had also doubled.

He slightly focused his mind, urged the Purple Core to operate, and the spiritual energy in the Secret Chamber gathered towards him at a Speed visible to the naked eye, more than twice as fast as it was during the red core period. The sensation of spiritual energy entering his body became clearer and clearer, as if all the Meridians in his body had been widened, capable of accommodating more spiritual energy.

The next moment, Qin Changsheng also found the introduction of the Purple Core on the attribute panel.

[Purple Core: High-quality Golden Core, mana increased by two times, Cultivation Speed increased by three times, Nascent Soul Breakthrough probability increased by 30%]

"Thirty percent chance of Nascent Soul Breakthrough?!"

Qin Changsheng opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes, immediately replaced by deep ecstasy.

He knew too well what the Nascent Soul Breakthrough probability meant.

On the path of Cultivation, from Golden Core to Nascent Soul was an insurmountable chasm. Countless Cultivators were trapped at the Peak of the Golden Core for their entire lives, exhausting their energy and blood, unable to Breakthrough, and finally, their Lifespan was exhausted, turning into a pile of loess.

Even the extremely rare Nascent Soul Breakthrough pill in the Cultivation world could only increase the probability of Nascent Soul Breakthrough by ten percent, and the Nascent Soul Breakthrough pill was extremely difficult to refine, priceless, and rare, making it hard for ordinary Cultivators to even see one.

Previously, even after breaking through to the Golden Core, Qin Changsheng only thought about accumulating steadily and slowly looking for the Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, never daring to hope for such a high increase in the Nascent Soul Breakthrough probability.

After all, thirty percent was even stronger than the superimposed effect of the Nascent Soul Breakthrough pill. This was simply a Heaven-Defying gift, enough to let him take fewer detours on the road to breaking through to the Nascent Soul and greatly increase the possibility of success.

Qin Changsheng slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the ecstasy in his heart.

He could clearly feel that within the Purple Core, in addition to the thick spiritual energy, there was also a faint blessing of special power.

It was this power that increased the probability of Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

...

The days of Cultivation passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this year, Qin Changsheng had never stepped out of the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, devoting all his energy to Cultivation. The spiritual energy in the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land was rich, far exceeding the outside world by several times, making it an excellent place to hone his Cultivation and stabilize the Purple Core.

Deep in the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, spiritual energy was like mist, surrounding him. Qin Changsheng still sat quietly on the meditation cushion, his expression steady, and his body surrounded by faint purple spiritual light.

Inside the Dantian, the Purple Core was suspended steadily, operating faster and smoother. A year of diligent Cultivation had allowed him to fully master the power of the Purple Core. There was no longer the awkwardness of the initial formation. The purple spiritual energy circulated between his Meridians, round and thick, freely retractable.

Over the past year, his Cultivation had also achieved a small improvement.

He had also cultivated many Cultivation Techniques to Perfection.

But these were not the things that made Qin Changsheng the happiest.

What made Qin Changsheng happiest was that today was the beginning of another year.

He could extract new Golden Traits again.

Qin Changsheng glanced at his attribute panel, then sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, and began to extract new traits.

In an instant, spiritual light gathered above the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land, and a brilliant golden beam of light crashed down, covering the attribute panel. A majestic power of traits swept over, gentle and thick, which was the sign that a Golden Trait was about to appear.

The next moment, a clear message slowly emerged, and with the condensation of golden spiritual light, a Golden Trait engraved with simple patterns appeared on the attribute panel.
