“Zhi Ling, don’t worry, Elder Green Python will return in the future. In the meantime, Elder Golden Ape will accompany you.” Lin Yi spoke to Zhi Ling.

He played in the Medicine Garden for a while with Zhi Ling and Golden Ape. Soon, he forgot about the melancholy of Green Python’s departure.

When the time was right, Lin Yi fist-cupped and saluted towards Golden Ape, “Elder Golden Ape, I am entrusting Zhi Ling to you.”

“As long as I am here, you don’t need to worry, just leave some food here.” Golden Ape waved his hand and spoke straightforwardly.

Lin Yi left some food, then left the area and arrived in the Dan God’s Cave Mansion.

The Cave Mansion on this little island in the lake was extraordinarily vast. Pill Immortal Master was only a trace of a primordial spirit, unable to cultivate. Apart from going into the special formation to replenish his spiritual power, the rest of his time was not fixed.

However, as long as he called within the Secret Realm, the master would appear in an instant.

Lin Yi did not directly call out, first he arrived at the Alchemy Room where Master often stayed. Even if he couldn’t perform alchemy, the things engraved in his memory were unchangeable.

As expected, he saw his master’s figure in the Alchemy Room. He saluted with a smile, “Disciple pays his respects to Master, I knew you would be here.”

“If you’re in such a rush to find me, you must need something.” Zhang Dao Xuan slowly turned around, looking at Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded, “Master, there’s an important matter that the disciple needs to consult, I hope you can provide some insights.”

“Sit down, let’s hear it.” Zhang Dao Xuan pointed to a chair beside him, his heart also full of curiosity. Lin Yi rarely formally sought advice from him. What had he encountered?

Could it be that he wants to condense the Golden Core now? It wouldn’t be so fast, has it only been just over thirty years since Lin Yi first entered the Secret Realm for the inheritance test?

Even if his cultivation level was hidden when he entered and he was actually in the Early Foundation Building Stage, it would be impossible to advance to the Foundation Building Great Perfection in just thirty years, let alone evolve into the Tenth Layer.

Lin Yi sat in the chair and asked Zhang Dao Xuan the same question, “Master, I have read in some books that some cultivators use flames to refine their own Golden Core. Is this method feasible? Can you explain it to me from the perspective of Alchemy Dao.”

Upon hearing this question, Zhang Dao Xuan laughed, “As expected of my disciple, you’ve thought of this too.”

“Master, does this mean that your incarnation thought of refining one’s own Golden Core?” Lin Yi’s face changed, and he immediately asked. He came to consult Pill Immortal Master because he thought this Alchemy Dao master might have thought of this method in the past.

Zhang Dao Xuan gently nodded and slowly said, “After achieving Perfect Foundation Building, I also reached the peak of Alchemy Dao, refining a furnace of Spirit Level Elixir, and touched the threshold of the Spirit Level.”

“Under these conditions, I, or rather my incarnation, also thought of using alchemical flame to refine my own Golden Core, instead of condensing it in the usual way.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. As expected of the Dan God, he could refine Spirit Level Elixir even under Foundation Building Realm, which was incredibly powerful.

Even with his Alchemy title, and in Minor Blessing State, he couldn’t possibly refine a Spirit Level Elixir.

“For this reason, I made careful preparations. At that time, I had already obtained this Secret Realm and the most precious Purple Flame Divine Fire in Heng Yuan Cultivation World. Thus, I planned to use the Purple Flame Divine Fire, which I could freely control within my body, to refine my own Golden Core.”

Lin Yi’s face showed a hint of surprise. Pill Immortal Master’s luck was truly strong. The Purple Flame Divine Fire was not only the best flame for alchemy in the Cultivation World, but it also had a robust killing power.

And the Fire Hazard Zone that Fire Fierce from Divine Fire Peak went to was the only place where one could obtain Purple Flame Divine Fire. The environment there was not as safe as Dan God’s Secret Realm. If one was not careful, they would be reduced to ashes by the flame.

He listened carefully, judging from the tone of Pill Immortal Master’s words, Zhang Dao Xuan’s incarnation seemed to have failed in the end. However, this experience could bring him great help.

“At the time, I didn’t have much confidence either, so I asked some acquaintances and friends who were more senior than me. They saw it as wishful thinking, pure fantasy. They suggested I go back and focus on conjuring the Golden Core in a more traditional way,” said Zhang Dao Xuan with a snort of derision.

In his view, those people were like frogs at the bottom of the well; they would only practice cultivation step by step, without any innovation whatsoever.

Lin Yi nodded in agreement. Master Golden Sword shared the belief that this method was only recourse for those who failed to normally conjure the Golden Core.

However, he did not sneer like Pill Immortal Master because they were right in a sense. If one can break through the realm through normal cultivation, why take the risk and try other methods?

If it hadn’t been for the fire reward from his alchemy title, he wouldn’t have even tried to make Golden Cores.

Zhang Dao Xuan continued to recount his process of making a Golden Core, “Later, I began to try, using the Purple Flame Divine Fire in my body to start alchemizing the Spiritual Liquid in my Dantian, in the way of alchemy. During this period, I encountered some dangers…”

He told Lin Yi everything about the process of turning his own Golden Core— from the alchemy techniques he used, to the possible dangers he faced.

After finishing his account, he shook his head and sighed, “However, near the end, although I managed to refine all of the Spiritual Liquid, I just couldn’t get it to form a Core under the fire. I tried several methods, but nothing worked. I had no choice but to give up.”

“Nevertheless, although I ultimately failed to create a Golden Core, using the Purple Flame Divine Fire indeed further purified and compressed the Spiritual Liquid in my body. In the end, I created a Golden Core in the usual way, which turned out to be somewhat stronger than an ordinary Golden Core.”

Lin Yi was deeply moved. His master had truly reached the pinnacle of Alchemy Dao. The risks, which could potentially turn ordinary cultivators to ash, were resolved adeptly in his hands.

He bowed with his fists and asked, “Thank you for your guidance, Master. Is it truly impossible to conjure a Golden Core through alchemy?”

Zhang Dao Xuan chuckled and said, “Each person’s opportunity is different. What I can’t accomplish, others might be able to. However, remember to prepare for everything, because even a slight accident when refining the Spiritual Liquid in the Dantian with fire can cause your Dantian to be destroyed and burn you to ashes.”

Then he looked at Lin Yi, and asked seriously, “Lin Yi, the reason you asked this question today… could it be that you have already evolved your cultivation levels to reach the true Foundation Building Great Perfection—the Foundation Building Tenth Layer?”

“Indeed, Master. I have already built the Tenth Layer and have made my cultivation perfect. I’m preparing to conjure the Golden Core,” Lin Yi responded without concealment, as he would need the protection of Pill Immortal Master if he really wanted to refine the Golden Core.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dao Xuan expressed his amazement. Even with his prime Spiritual Root, it took him over thirty years to advance from the Early Foundation Building Stage to Foundation Building Great Perfection.

But Lin Yi had done it in thirty years, while also evolving to the Foundation Building Tenth Layer. Moreover, he hadn’t neglected his alchemy cultivation either. This was simply incredible.

He took a deep breath, “How did you manage to do this, boy? It’s unbelievable.”

After a moment, he waved his hand dismissively, “Ah well, forget it. I won’t ask for specifics. Just as I said earlier, everyone has their own opportunities.”

Essentially, this would involve Lin Yi’s secrets, and he didn’t want to put his disciple in a difficult position.

“Thank you, Master. I did come across some opportunities that I should not openly discuss,” said Lin Yi with a respectful bow. He owed his rapid progress in cultivation to his master, after all, he had directly benefited from the Pill Immortal Master’s work.

Zhang Dao Xuan chuckled and waved his hand again, “Consider it a question unasked. Are you sure you want to make your own Golden Core?”

Lin Yi nodded, “I would like to give it a try.”

Zhang Dao Xuan spoke gravely, “Before you attempt to refine a Golden Core, you need to understand why you are doing it. If your body only possesses the Dantian for cultivation, then the process of alchemy merely serves to purify the Spiritual Liquid.”

“But, if you possess any other special Divine Skills, they can be used as materials to infuse into the Golden Core, to form an integrated whole…”
