Chapter 512: Chapter 460: Trying to Condense the Golden Core Again? (New month, seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket.)

Pei Xuanjing naturally didn’t need to personally handle the affairs of the Taoist Academy, as people were there to help supervise and track everything.

After all, with Pei Xuanjing’s current status, even if he wanted to teach disciples and impart cultivation methods, it would normally be taught only to disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, at most allowing some disciples of the Taoist School to eavesdrop.

But now, such a world-leading powerhouse was willing to give public classes, a good deed that drew countless supporters. Even those forces who understood that Pei Xuanjing’s actions would harm their own interests and intensify the Internal Competition among martial artist cultivators knew that this was a rare opportunity.

Therefore, since it was impossible to stop it, they might as well cooperate fully to minimize losses as much as possible.

However, despite the fact that the blueprint for the Taoist Academy was provided and completed by the Ministry of Works, it underwent many amendments after being requisitioned by Pei Xuanjing.

Though the people at the Ministry of Works couldn’t understand the revised blueprint, that didn’t stop them from conveniently keeping a copy and sending it to Imperial City.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t say anything about this; in fact, he was quite pleased.

It was a small experiment of his. If someone from the imperial court was willing to duplicate it, he wouldn’t mind, as it would provide him with more experimental data.

Afterward, Pei Xuanjing went into seclusion. During this time, he adjusted his essence, Qi, and spirit to their optimal state, ready for another attempt.

“This time, don’t let me down,” Pei Xuanjing murmured to himself.

He sat down on his meditation cushion, and the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him began to gather and circulate. The entire room was filled with the rich scent of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

But this attempt was not carried out with jade as the medium, but with an actual External Incarnation.

He transformed his hand into a blade, and scraped off flesh from his own body. He spat a few mouthfuls of blood essence on the jade, the dropped flesh flickered with light. The imposing aura of Pei Xuanjing burst forth, and an abundance of Shenxiao Origin Qi surged into it.

In a blink of an eye, the flesh turned into a ball of meat. Pei Xuanjing continuously dripped blood into it. The meatball spun rapidly, absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and Shenxiao Origin Qi like a bottomless black hole..

After a long while, a figure identical to Pei Xuanjing emerged before his eyes.

Next, Pei Xuanjing closed his eyes, focusing his attention on his External Incarnation.

The incarnation opened its eyes, then sat on the ground and continued to attract the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy from the surroundings.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing started his skill, harmonizing the essence, Qi, and spiritual power in this body, attempting to integrate them into the Dantian and condense them into a Golden Core.

Humans have the three treasures: essence, Qi, and spirit. It is said by the Taoist School that the human body is a melting pot. Using body’s essence and Qi as precious medicinal ingredients, and the spirit as the flame, condense them into a Holy Embryo, undergo a complete change, and reverse to the Primordial State.

In his cultivation journey, aside from the help of the life simulator, Pei Xuanjing has been following the Cultivation Method Manuals, observing the principles of Heaven and Earth, and learning from nature.

The whole universe is within the Heaven and Earth; a small universe is within the human body. Heaven and Earth serve as the blast furnace, Yin and Yang serve as charcoal, and nature serves as the worker. Hence, the human body being the furnace, the essence and Qi being the medicine, and the spirit being the charcoal, all follows the same reasoning.

Pei Xuanjing was controlling his divine soul power, balancing Yin and Yang, smelting the essence and Qi, allowing the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit to gradually blend together.

As Pei Xuanjing continued to circulate his skills, an intangible object, the inner alchemy formed by essence, Qi, and spirit, emerged inside him. This inner alchemy kept hammering, rotating, and emanating an immortal and indestructible aura…

However, no matter how much Pei Xuanjing refined it, it seemed that there was always something missing from this intangible inner alchemy inside him.

“What am I missing exactly?” Pei Xuanjing pondered.

According to his previous attempts and inferences, many failures were due to the imbalance of essence, Qi, and spirit in his incarnation. This imbalance led to the inability of the perfect fusion of condensed inner alchemy and the destruction of inner alchemy due to instability after refinement.

But now, the powers of this incarnation, including physical strength, Primordial Qi, and divine soul strength, have all remained at the Spirit Realm Third Level. Logically, it should successfully condense the inner alchemy, so why does it seem to be lacking?

“Sigh…”

The countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathering around the incarnation of Pei Xuanjing quietly dispersed, and the room eventually returned to tranquillity again.

He temporarily stopped circulating his skills. He couldn’t continue any further; otherwise, this incarnation might suffer the same fate as in previous experiments.

“Hmm?”

Just as Pei Xuanjing was about to withdraw his incarnation, he suddenly noticed some changes in the incarnation’s body.

Although the creation of the inner alchemy was not complete this time, the smelting of the essence, Qi, and spirit through the incarnation earlier was not in vain. Instead, it made the Primordial Qi in his body even more refined, his divine soul more resilient, and his body slightly stronger.

“Perhaps it’s because this incarnation was only initially polished. Although the essence, Qi, and spirit are balanced, they have not truly reached perfection yet. Could this be the reason it failed just now?” Pei Xuanjing guessed.

He wasn’t sure about this guess as he couldn’t verify it. After all, his previous experiments ended with the destruction of the incarnation.

Regardless, at least for now, his incarnation has not been withdrawn. This allows him to have an additional guess, and as long as he keeps trying slowly, it is ultimately a possibility.

Creating laws is difficult, let alone exploring the Supreme Golden Elixir Path of this school. The failure of this experiment was within his anticipations. He never thought that he would succeed in one try.

Despite continuous cultivation, Pei Xuanjing’s talents have only changed from ordinary. His comprehension skills are average. If it weren’t for the help from the life simulator and experiences from his previous life, it would have been difficult for him to get to where he is today.

If the Supreme Golden Elixir Path was so easy to succeed, it would be a joke.

Given the situation of exploring it alone, Pei Xuanjing was already satisfied with the current situation.

In the main hall, Pei Xuanjing asked, “How is the selection process going so far? Are there people deliberately causing trouble and hindering it?”

As he said this, there was a hint of coldness flashed across Pei Xuanjing’s eyes. The Taoist Academy plan was crucial to his own Dao cultivation and it was something that must be carried out. Anyone who dare interfere, need not be surprised by his ruthlessness.

“Master, not only did the various forces not hinder this time, they also sent many disciples from various schools to participate in the selection,” Deng Zhong shook his head and said to Pei Xuanjing.

This was odd to him at first. Whether or not the establishment of the Taoist Academy could be pushed forward was uncertain in the eyes of many people. After all, Pei Xuanjing’s move was akin to digging at the roots of those powerful family sects, especially the recruiting sects. However, due to Pei Xuanjing’s awe-inspiring presence, no one dared to voice any differing opinions. Even if they were unsatisfied, they had to hide it and dare not expose it publicly.
