Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 333: 325: Golden Elixir in Hand

A look of ecstasy flashed across Wang Duan’s face.

‘Golden Elixir?”

“Is this a Golden Elixir?”

“Sir didn’t lie to me, he really is a Golden Elixir Master!”

“A Golden Elixir Master’s storage bag, all of his possessions, his legacy.” “Now, everything is in my hands!”

“From now on, not to mention Foundation Establishment Masters, even Golden Elixir Masters, I can handle!”

After confirming that the item in his hand was indeed a Golden Elixir left by a Golden Elixir Master after his death, a flame of ambition suddenly ignited in Wang Duan’s eyes.

Although his current cultivation was only at the Qi-refining late stage.

Although even now, when facing the weakest Foundation Establishment Master, the other party could easily crush him to death with one hand.

Although his current status was only that of a loose cultivator, mingling among evil cultivators, often committing nefarious deeds like murder and arson.

Although now…

But, after entering this quiet room, and having read the jade slip inside, and picking up the storage bag inside the room.

And after obtaining the Golden Elixir within the quiet room.

Wang Duan’s ambition in his heart instantly swelled up tremendously.

This could be clearly seen from the fact that he dared to address himself as “this seat” even though he was just a Qi-refining cultivator.

He was trying to elevate his own status.

At the same time, Wang Duan was addressing himself as “this seat” and his ambitions were expanding.

But He Song, who was watching all this from afar, was frowning more and more at this moment.

This Wang Duan.

He seemed to have lost his mind.

Has he completely forgotten how he came here?

Or was his mind overwhelmed by the enormous opportunity before him, and he chose to temporarily forget about that matter?

Moreover, He Song could see that Wang Duan’s expression now looked somewhat abnormal.

With doubts in his mind, He Song weighed his options and decided not to make any sudden moves. Instead, he chose to continue quietly watching everything happening within the Golden Elixir Array.

As long as Wang Duan didn’t try to bring everything down in a desperate move, destroying He Song’s opportunity, he could let Wang Duan live a little longer.

Perhaps, the longer Wang Duan stayed alive, the more trouble he could stir up for He Song.

Meanwhile, inside the quiet room.

Wang Duan started toying with the Golden Elixir in his hand after his ecstasy had waned.

The Golden Elixir was obtained from the jade slip.

Previously.

When he picked up the jade slip in the quiet room and placed it on his forehead, the information contained within it naturally appeared in his memory.

After reading the information in the jade slip, Wang Duan naturally understood everything.

This cave mansion was owned by a Golden Elixir Master.

That Master’s dharma title was Yin Yue.

He was seriously injured during a fight for an opportunity.

With no choice but to flee desperately.

After escaping, however, he was gravely injured and pursued by his enemies.

Thus, he was forced to settle here and eventually passed away due to the severity of his injuries.

Leaving behind this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

According to Master Yin Yue’s description, the Array outside the cave mansion should be able to last for more than a hundred years. By the time Wang Duan saw the information in the jade slip, Master Yin Yue had already been dead for over a hundred years.

At the same time, the jade slip also detailed the mystery and wonders of the Golden Elixir left behind after the Golden Elixir Master’s death.

In the description of the jade slip.

Wang Duan learned.

Golden Elixir was the source of a Golden Elixir Master’s mana and the culmination of their cultivation.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that swallowing a Golden Elixir puts one’s fate in their own hands and makes them immune to destiny.

The meaning is not only to express the strength of a Golden Elixir Master but also carries an implicit meaning.

If someone else obtained a Golden Elixir, after swallowing it, the power in the Golden Elixir would gradually integrate with their own power.

Once the two become indistinguishable, the person would naturally become a second Golden Elixir Master.

And due to the Golden Elixir within their body, the Elixir would naturally protect them during this time, greatly increasing their power.

If they don’t encounter any extreme situations, it would be difficult for them to die even if they wanted to.

It was precisely because of the detailed description of the Golden Elixir in the jade slip that Wang Duan now regarded himself as a future Golden Elixir Master.

Wang Duan didn’t know what a Golden Elixir Master was like.

He was just a loose cultivator, having only met Foundation Establishment Masters at most.

Those Foundation Establishment Masters were lofty and wouldn’t even bother to look at Qi-refining cultivators like him.

And when faced with them, they would often address themselves arrogantly as “this seat”.

Even Foundation Establishment Masters were like this.

So.

He, who was destined to become a Golden Elixir Master in the future.

Naturally, he needed to adopt an appropriate demeanor.

After all, a Golden Elixir Master is much stronger than a Foundation Establishment Master.

The gap between their status and positions is also vast.

As a result, he addressed himself as “this seat” in an attempt to elevate his own status.

Ideas flashed through Wang Duan’s mind, and he quickly reached out to remove the layer of grayish material covering the Golden Elixir in his hand. This substance was purposely placed over the Golden Elixir by Master Yin Yue before he entered meditation.

Its purpose, however, was not recorded on the jade slip.

The reason for its existence was also not explained in the jade slip.

After the grayish layer was removed from the Golden Elixir.

A dazzling golden pill appeared in Wang Duan’s hand.

The Golden Elixir was radiant and looked as if it was made of gold, but more dazzling.

Even a gentle golden light emanated from its core.

Though the sky outside had darkened and the quiet chamber already had pitch black, the soft golden light from the Golden Elixir illuminated the entire room.

As a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator, Wang Duan had sharp senses, so relying on this faint golden light, he didn’t need to worry about not being able to see clearly.

After carefully examining the Golden Elixir in his hand.

His eyes grew more and more greedy.

In the next moment.

Under He Song’s watchful gaze, Wang Duan directly put the Golden Elixir in his mouth.

Then, he swallowed it into his abdomen.

However.

This scene made He Song, who was observing in the dark, widen his eyes.

A sense of confusion flashed through his mind.

Logically speaking.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm Master.

If He Song wanted to stop it, he could certainly stop Wang Duan’s actions at any time.

Wang Duan’s cultivation level was merely Qi Refining late-stage, and He Song’s was Late Foundation Establishment Stage; Wang Duan’s every move could be stopped by He Song at any time.

This was why He Song allowed Wang Duan to move freely within the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

Every move was under He Song’s surveillance, and any slight motion could be stopped by him instantly.

Therefore, Wang Duan’s behavior wasn’t restrained.

But when He Song saw this scene, his thoughts didn’t turn to stopping it.

Instead, his heart was filled with thick confusion.

Golden Elixir…can be swallowed?

Having read about cultivator’s Golden Elixir in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Thick Earth Sect, He Song’s gaze turned completely different when he looked at Wang Duan.

Is this guy an idiot?

Does he think that everything can be swallowed?

There was a record in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Thick Earth Sect.

The Golden Elixir was the source of mana and the Dao fruit for a Golden Elixir Master.

Since ancient times, there has been the saying that if a Golden Elixir was swallowed, one would be in control of one’s own destiny.

Although it expresses the immense strength of a Golden Elixir Master, it also has a hidden meaning.

As long as the Golden Elixir remains, the cultivator’s divine sense can be placed within it and manipulate the Golden Elixir to flee elsewhere.

If, within a certain period, a mortal with Spirit Roots or a Qi Refining stage cultivator whose cultivation did not exceed Foundation Establishment Realm was found and possessed, they could naturally live a second life.

Due to the presence of the Golden Elixir, one would only need a short time to return to the Golden Elixir Realm after possessing the new body.

This is the origin of the saying that if a Golden Elixir is swallowed, one’s fate is in one’s own hands, not dictated by heaven.

Even if one’s body is shattered, and the flesh destroyed, as long as the Golden Elixir remains, one can possess another body.

This is, to some extent, a defiance of the laws of nature.

But, a cultivator’s Golden Elixir, while precious, wasn’t meant to be swallowed directly.

Although Golden Elixirs are valuable,

It takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate one, and the cultivator’s own requirements are extremely high.

Once the divine sense within the Golden Elixir dissipates, the mana contained within it will become very stable.

Apart from using it to refine elixirs or spirit artifacts, it also has many other uses.

If taken for sale, it can be said to be very valuable.

Even if swallowed by another cultivator, the mana within the Golden Elixir will be too stable to be absorbed by them and become their own power.

A Golden Elixir that can’t be refined will not be much stronger than swallowing a big iron ball when it enters the abdomen.

In other words,

At this moment, Wang Duan.

Performed an act of swallowing a big iron ball in front of He Song.

And precisely because of this, He Song’s gaze was so confused.

Why would this person perform the act of swallowing a big iron ball in front of him?

Could it be that he made a living from it in the mortal world, and now that his chance had come, he wanted to re-experience the atmosphere of those days?

However, as He Song’s thoughts were struggling to comprehend but did not intend to stop the scene before his eyes,

Inside the quiet chamber,

Wang Duan, who had just swallowed the Golden Elixir, suddenly stopped moving.

Seeing this, He Song’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he continued to watch due to not knowing what Wang Duan was up to.

However, in secret, He Song had already started manipulating the Golden Elixir Array.

The scene before him made it hard for He Song not to think about the matter of possession.

Even though the owner of this cave mansion had been dead for more than a hundred years,

In the Cultivation World, no one knows if there could be some strange things, or strange secrets that could allow the person to possess others after a hundred years.

As such, while He Song was watching, he simultaneously controlled the Golden Elixir Array, prepared to strike and kill Wang Duan at any moment.

If the Golden Elixir Master really came back to life inside Wang Duan’s body, He Song could kill the enemy again at any time..
