Chapter 1756 Medicinal Power Fusing with the Bones
Chapter 1756: Medicinal Power Fusing with the Bones Chapter 1756: Medicinal Power Fusing with the Bones Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Spirit herbs that were very old developed their own spirituality and consciousness, becoming demons in the process. They became spirits! These kinds of herbs were even more precious. However, if they became demons and caused widespread destruction, they would definitely face divine retribution. Plants and vegetation needed to undergo heavenly tribulation and a long period of time to gain intelligence. It was a gift from the heavens. If they caused harm on a large scale, they would suffer the backlash of the heavenly path.
As a result, alchemists typically did not live to old age. They often face misfortune in their later years, and a good outcome was rare—though there were exceptions.
Braydon Neal looked at all the herbs and thought for a while.
“Without returning to the path, one cannot enter nirvana.
If you can achieve a spirit body, it shouldn’t be too difficult to merge with the Dharma Idol and return to the path!” But surpassing a cultivation realm was no small feat. Everyone usually followed the prescribed steps. Although Braydon had other ideas, he still wanted to focus on refining his physique first. The path of body refinement was also a path to mastery. Among the ten thousand banished immortals, there was one who specialized in cultivating the path of the body and likely succeeded in cutting through the path of return.
Braydon selected over a thousand types of herbs from the list. As an alchemist, Bedirhan Leitner naturally had a vast collection of spirit herbs. Braydon used the flame of primordial chaos to refine them, which was far superior to the eternal flame in both quality and efficiency.
Among the herbs Braydon had chosen, he could refine more than ten types of pills needed for body refinement. However, the Ninth Revolution Body Refinement Pill, which had the most powerful medicinal effects, required an exceptionally potent old medicine as the main ingredient. These were all plant demons! Bedirhan’s collection included the materials Braydon needed, such as this ten-thousand-year-old body-tempering grass, which was essential for refining the First Revolution Body Refinement Pill.
With a wave of his hand, Braydon refined a hundred cauldrons. The success rate was a flawless 100%! If he had failed in pill refinement after awakening the memories of two lifetimes, both the leader and Lord Lukyan Flerov would have had every right to strangle him.
In just two hours, Braydon produced a hundred cauldrons’ worth of a thousand body-refinement pills.
Holding a gray pill shell in his left hand, he examined a snow-white pill with nine layers of light on its surface—a supreme-grade medicinal pill with the highest quality, an ultimate supreme-grade path pill, certainly worthy of an auction. Braydon swallowed it in one gulp. The scorching, tyrannical power was overwhelmingly intense.
Instantly, his flesh cracked open like a spider’s web. Fresh blood flowed as his body began to heal. His muscles were torn apart and then mended with every healing cycle, growing stronger each time.
Despite the pain, Braydon’s expression remained unchanged. He muttered, “Refining the flesh without reaching the bones is useless!” The focus should be on the physique and bones. Flesh and blood were merely an attachment to the bones. Braydon, with his vast experience over many lifetimes, had seen countless body cultivators. Though their flesh and blood might be scattered, their bones remained unbroken. During battles, no matter how much flesh and blood they lost, their bones were incredibly resilient. Additionally, their vital essence could be concealed within their bones.
In Lukyan’s lifetime, he had encountered a ruthless individual who refined his body to the point of immortality and reached the peak. To defeat him, Lukyan had to pay a great price. The injuries sustained were such that they could not heal in 10,000 years. This demonstrated how terrifying such a body could be.
If it were an ordinary immortal, they could devastate entire regions with a mere gesture. Braydon closed his eyes, delving into the depths of his memory, and recalled the ancient body-tempering technique: the Heaven-Devouring Forbidden Technique. This technique drew power from devouring the heavens, the true essence of killing. It allowed one to obliterate everything and absorb their essences for personal gain. The formidable Heaven-Devouring Forbidden Technique could absorb anything and cleanse all life imprints, converting them into pure energy that the body could absorb without any negative effects.
This forbidden technique had been lost for far too long! Once Braydon activated it, the power of the pill was immediately drawn out and transformed into a turbulent river that surged through his body. The energy spread purposefully, gradually wrapping around his bones and seeping in. The medicinal power of the First Revolution Body Refinement Pill produced a faint heat as it slowly penetrated his bones.
Braydon’s face turned pale as he experienced the sensation of ants gnawing on his bone marrow—both burning and intensely itchy. This pain was far greater than mere physical discomfort. He longed for someone to crack open his bone marrow just to relieve the agony.
On the path of cultivation, one had to endure unimaginable pain. Braydon silently bore it, letting the medicinal effects of the First Revolution Body Refinement Pill wreak havoc in his body.
Meanwhile, Loki and Bedirhan were searching for ingredients for the body-refining pill. At the same time, they were also dealing with some of their opponents. The final evaluation of the Ten Stellar Realm Competition was based on points. No matter how talented you were, if you didn’t have points by the end of the competition, it wouldn’t matter. Braydon and his team had no intention of spending ten years tracking down other contestants. When the final month arrived, they planned to strike and plunder the points accumulated by others, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
For now, the priority was to increase their strength as much as possible. In all the competition zones, the Northern Army people were the strongest, each with soul imprints that had awakened. Memories from their previous lives surfaced, revealing many forbidden methods that could be used. Their true combat strength far surpassed their outward appearances.
As time passed, Braydon secluded himself, ignoring the chaos outside. During this period, Loki and Bedirhan returned once, handed the spirit herbs to Bendik Leitner, and then went back out to continue their search. They realized that instead of merely searching, they needed to start plundering.
Those who could participate in the Ten Stellar Realm Competition were the elite from major stellar realms, with high net worths and countless precious spirit herbs. Instead of tirelessly searching, it made more sense for them to hunt spirit body geniuses. Each successful hunt could yield significant rewards, equivalent to years of effort.
So, they began selecting targets to hunt. Both were inheritors of Braydon’s legacy, exceptionally talented, and skilled in forbidden techniques, making them dominant in offense. Who could stand against Loki with just an ordinary spirit body? Bedirhan was equally formidable and ruthless.
Quickly, they gained a formidable reputation. Meanwhile, Braydon had been in seclusion for two years, during which he refined numerous First Revolution Body Refinement Pills, as well as Second and Third Revolution Body Refinement Pills. The main ingredient for the Second Revolution Body Refinement Pill was a 100,000-year-old body-refining grass—a rare and valuable spirit herb in the starry sky, priced over 100 million star coins.
The Second Revolution Body Refinement Pill was extremely potent. If Braydon’s body could fully handle its effects, it would indicate that his physique had reached the level of a path-returning cultivator. The First Revolution Body Refinement Pill could strengthen a body to the level of an eternal cultivator, while the Second Revolution Pill could elevate one’s body to the path-returning realm. As for the Third Revolution Pill, it would strengthen one’s body to the nirvana realm. Unfortunately, Braydon was unable to consume the Third Revolution Body Refinement Pill directly. Instead, he relied on the Heaven-Devouring Forbidden Technique to absorb its powerful medicinal effects, allowing his flesh and blood to tear apart and heal in the process.
