I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 537: Chapter 358: Sun Moon Flowing Juice, Elevating the Sword Pill!

"Ascend to a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yunyang was slightly startled, then looked at Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill, a flash of understanding gleaming in his eyes.

"You indeed have no small fortune."

"Spiritual treasures in the world are often remade from nothing after ascending to the Daoist Embryo. To have a treasure that can directly ascend as yours does is truly rare."

Master Yunyang remarked with emotion.

Digging up the foundation to build a new house is sometimes more convenient than renovating. After all, turning a wooden house into a metallic one is extremely difficult.

"Your Sword Pill contains the changes of Yin and Yang and embodies the figure of the Yin Yang, resembling a melting furnace; it is indeed extraordinary."

"This Moonlight Sword Pill, pure and unparalleled, does not resemble a metallic artifact, containing only radiant moonlight. If it could merge into your Yin Yang Sword Pill and gain the changes of Yin and Yang, it truly could ascend to a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure."

"However, it still lacks a key element!"

Master Yunyang stroked his beard and chuckled.

As expected, something was missing!

Gu Yuan suddenly realized, bowed, and asked for guidance: "Please, Dean, enlighten me!"

"Spiritual treasures hinge on the word ’spirit.’ Below the Daoist Embryo, no matter how strong an artifact is, it serves merely as an assistant, needing the cultivator to control it with heart and spirit to slay enemies."

"But a Spiritual Treasure with exceptional Spiritual Nature possesses some degree of spiritual wisdom, able to slay enemies on its own without the cultivator’s control. Its vast power far exceeds the mundane, capable of absorbing and exhaling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, defending and attacking, akin to a half-Daoist Embryo."

"Your Yin Yang Sword Pill might reach this quality after merging with the Moonlight Sword Pill, but to transform fundamentally and gain exceptional Spiritual Nature, it’s still insufficient."

"Only with the Sun Moon Flowing Juice infusing the artifact can it ascend and truly become a Spiritual Treasure."

Master Yunyang explained.

"Sun Moon Flowing Juice?"

It was the first time Gu Yuan had heard of this treasure.

"This item is a treasure formed from the condensation of Sun and Moon Essence to the extreme, allowing the artifact to be nourished by Sun and Moon Essence Qi, significantly enhancing its Spiritual Nature and rank!"

"If you want to ascend a Tier Three Treasure to a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, this item is vital and indispensable."

"Even a Daoist Embryo Master must use this item when forging a Spiritual Treasure!"

Master Yunyang said with a smile.

Gu Yuan understood in his heart and asked again: "May I ask, Dean, where can this Sun Moon Flowing Juice be obtained?"

Hearing this, Master Yunyang stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Since you have come to me, how can I let you leave empty-handed?!"

With that, he waved his large sleeves, and a crystal-clear Jade Bottle flowed out into Gu Yuan’s palm.

Inside the Jade Bottle, a mass of golden liquid and a mass of silver liquid intertwined, seemingly merging yet distinct.

Within the golden liquid, the brilliant Great Sun Essence shimmered, while the Moonlight Qi in the silver liquid flowed like the Emperor’s Liquid, shaking one’s Soul Spirit.

"This is the leftover Sun Moon Flowing Juice from when I forged my Spiritual Treasure years ago. It’s useless to me now, so I’ll give it to you. It should be enough to ascend your Sword Pill!"

"With a Tier Four Sword Pill, it’s like having a half-step Daoist Embryo-level Sword Cultivator by your side, adding more assurance to your conquest of Jiuyi Mountain!"

Master Yunyang said with a smile.

At this time of war, Gu Yuan’s greatly increased strength is a boon, both for him and for the Daoist School.

"Thank you, Dean, for the generous gift!"

Gu Yuan was also delighted, saluting and thanking him.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "May I ask, Dean, if there is more Sun Moon Flowing Juice available, I am willing to spend all my assets to acquire some."

This Sun Moon Flowing Juice, which Gu Yuan had never heard of before, was naturally not something he could let go of once caught by the Dean.

Moreover, after spending time together, he realized the Dean was exceedingly agreeable, and with his current status, asking for more juice would not upset the Dean.

"You want more of this juice?"

"The bottle I gave you is sufficient for your Sword Pill’s ascension, with likely some left over. Why do you need more?"

Master Yunyang was somewhat puzzled.

He may be a Daoist Embryo Master, but he is not omniscient. At Gu Yuan’s current level, with artifacts absorbed into the body and covered by flesh and Soul Spirit, only a deep exploration would reveal what artifacts Gu Yuan possesses.

And given Gu Yuan’s identity, how could he pry?

Being puzzled is normal.

Gu Yuan did not hide it, immediately taking out the Muddy Cloud Boundary Determining Gui, presenting it in front of him and saying, "I have another treasure that has been nurtured for thousands of years, just one step away from ascending to a Spiritual Treasure. Thus, I wish to seek another portion of Sun Moon Flowing Juice."

In fact, what he most wanted to enhance was the Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd, but even before the Dean, he couldn’t reveal all his cards, so he temporarily used the Muddy Cloud Boundary Determining Gui to ask for another portion of Sun Moon Flowing Juice.

Master Yunyang sighed lightly upon seeing this: "Your fortune..."

Then he helplessly added: "Sun Moon Flowing Juice is only occasionally found in Tier Four mystical lands where the Sun and Moon Essence gather. It is essential for Spiritual Treasures and incredibly rare. I originally had one portion, and Fellow Daoist Cangming also had a portion, but they were all consumed to refine the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Disc, and there is truly none left."

"This item is rare, with not much even in the East Mountain Realm, and little in circulation. For a time, I am also unable to find it."

"However, do not fret; the Celestial Demon Sect has occupied Jiuyi Mountain for years. This mountain’s Ancient Spiritual Vein has Yin and Yang convergence, precisely the place for producing Sun Moon Flowing Juice. Over the years, there should be some reserve. If we acquire this mountain, I can promise you another portion."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan was slightly disappointed.

But he also knew that at his level of cultivation, every step forward was exceedingly difficult. Thus, he quickly composed himself and expressed his gratitude to Master Yunyang.
