Chapter 208: Chapter 154: Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pill

Li Qingming attempted to slowly probe into the prohibitions beneath the Moon Laurel Tree with his Primordial Spirit.

Beneath the Moon Laurel Tree was a vast expanse of whiteness, filled with extremely cold Taiyin Qi. If Li Qingming’s level of Primordial Spirit weren’t that of a Heavenly Dao Saint, this portion of his Primordial Spirit would have been nibbled away by the Taiyin Qi in an instant.

Li Qingming secretly swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, "This damned Taiyin Star is too hateful! Not only does it masquerade as a desolate place, but its prohibitions could also take a person’s life! Today, this Big Brother must break it no matter what!"

As he was gritting his teeth in determination, Li Qingming suddenly discovered tiny, wondrous creatures frolicking capriciously within the white Taiyin Qi. These creatures had long ears and red eyes, their bodies silver-white throughout—they were clearly rabbits. If one did not observe carefully, it would be very difficult to detect the existence of these little beings.

Li Qingming found it quite strange. This Taiyin Qi clearly had the ability to devour Primordial Spirits. Yet, looking at these rabbits, each one was vigorous, with an aura surrounding them—those weak ones already possessing the power of an Earth Immortal, and the strong ones even reached Taiyin Golden Immortal. How could they run freely and unharmed amidst this Taiyin Qi?

Puzzled, Li Qingming simply moved his Divine Thought of Primordial Spirit, capturing a rabbit that appeared to have Golden Immortal Cultivation, and observed it closely.

Although the rabbit looked adorable, its temperament was extremely irritable. Being captured by an unknown force, it exploded in rage upon seeing Li Qingming, with its aura violently increasing. Its ruby-like eyes exuded a bloodthirsty chill, and a thick Taiyin Qi surged from all around its body, condensing into sharp arrows that ruthlessly shot towards Li Qingming.

Li Qingming looked at the rabbit in the sky with amusement and did not dodge. He simply watched the rabbit with a smile, letting the seemingly sharp arrows hit him without causing any pain or itch. Meanwhile, his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought infiltrated everywhere, penetrating the rabbit’s body from all directions—through fur, muscles, bones, to internal organs—Li Qingming researched it thoroughly.

"Oh! I didn’t expect this rabbit to be a Primordial Species called ’Thunderbolt Rabbit.’ Not only does it possess the Xuanyin Attribute, it is naturally nurtured! Worthy of being a creature bred by the Taiyin Star! But... heh heh!" Li Qingming chuckled strangely, stroking his smooth chin, "If I capture some of them, based on the alchemy my Master taught me, and refine Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pills, how could I not break this Star Sealing Spirit Array!

Therefore, a crazy phenomenon appeared on the Taiyin Star—countless rabbits were flung up from underground nonstop, these rabbits looked at the desolate scene on the moon confusedly and fled in panic.

In alchemy, what is important is to perfectly integrate the various medicinal properties of the refining materials. And such integration needs to be maintained to a very subtle degree. For this reason, the power of Primordial Spirit becomes the key factor in determining the success or failure of refining elixirs.

But who is Li Qingming? He is of Heavenly Dao Saint level! In terms of the power of Primordial Spirit alone, perhaps even Hong Jun couldn’t compare to Li Qingming at this time.

To refine Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pills, aside from needing some fixed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it is also necessary to collect some compatible or antagonistic Spiritual Objects that correspond to the characteristics of the prohibition as the main refining materials, in order to have a fifty percent chance of success.

Against the characteristics of the "Star Sealing Spirit Array," these Thunderbolt Rabbits happened to be compatible with the prohibition of the Moon Laurel Tree’s array eye. Together with the Profound Yin True Water, Three Light Divine Water, Nine Yin Star Stone, and other Innate Refining Materials, when matched with each other to achieve a balanced state, there’s a possibility to successfully refine the pill.

Having come to this Taiyin Star, and being tricked by this damned Moon Laurel Tree, Li Qingming felt it would be too regretful to leave the Primordial area just like this!

Thus, with a gleam in his eyes, Li Qingming swept his hand, capturing the numerous fleeing Thunderbolt Rabbits into the Qiankun Tripod, then took out other Innate Refining Materials from his storage space and threw them into the Qiankun Tripod.

Under the sweeping of deep purple Chaotic Flames, in just the time of a breath, those refining materials and Thunderbolt Rabbits, under the exquisitely controlled integration by Li Qingming’s Primordial Spirit, slowly mingled into a pale golden liquid.

Li Qingming took out a handful of Sun Golden Flame from the storage space. Although it appeared to be a flame, it was actually in a liquid state. This golden flame was the essence condensed from the Fusang Divine Wood, with about one cubic meter forming every thousand years—an Supreme Yang object between Heaven and Earth.

Li Qingming stared at the palmful of Sun Golden Flame tinged with a touch of crimson, made a beckoning motion with one hand, and the latter slowly fell into the Qiankun Tripod, swirling into the increasingly tumultuous surface of the pale golden liquid.

This one cubic meter of liquid that contained Supreme Yang power, upon falling into that pale golden liquid, the Radiant Yang Power it held immediately had a noticeable effect.

The pale golden liquid began to boil violently. An oppressive power, barely perceptible, spread out from the amalgamated liquid within the Qiankun Tripod.

As soon as this oppressive sensation emerged, Li Qingming’s expression turned serious, realizing the critical moment when the two materials were fusing. His palm flipped over, and the Chaotic Flames burning in the air intensified. Its color slowly shifted from deep purple towards a darker black.

The mixed liquid in the Qiankun Tripod began to churn madly, a wild force that shook one’s soul rapidly escalating within it.

The ancient Qiankun Tripod began to grow larger, and streams of Vitality Power emerged like a Clear Spring.

Through the Power of Primordial Spirit, Li Qingming could see. As more and more Vitality Power was stimulated by the Qiankun Tripod, the liquid inside, which was initially tumbling, slowly began to calm down. But this lasted only for the time of one incense stick.

Immediately thereafter, amidst the release of that oppressive force, the turmoil began to intensify dramatically. And as time passed slowly, a huge beast’s head gradually took shape from the Qiankun Tripod. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a Thunderbolt Rabbit’s head with long ears.

Li Qingming sighed and said, "No wonder Master said that alchemy is a craft of clever use of the creations of Heaven and Earth. Precious elixirs such as the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and the Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pill are all difficult to refine successfully. This is merely a single-natured Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pill, yet it is so complex, and filled with illusions. I’m afraid that when the pill forms, there will be an Elixir Tribulation to cross!"

Li Qingming gritted his teeth with resentment: "It’s said that the blood of living beings is full of spirituality, so I’ll use my own blood for this shaping and pill-refining!"

"Go!"

With that thought, Li Qingming forced out a drop of blood and flicked it into the Qiankun Tripod. As Li Qingming’s blood merged, the chaotic world seemed to fall into a moment of silence. Soon after, Li Qingming was shocked to notice that the strange oppressive force emanating from the liquid mixture began to dissipate rapidly like a receding tide. The beast head, as if it had seen some terrifying thing, dived back into the liquid with fear, not daring to show itself.

Seeing this, Li Qingming couldn’t help but sigh: "Alas! Even this oppressive force pushes around the weak and fears the strong!"

Now the pill refining process had entered a stable stage; the remainder was about nurturing the pill to completion. This fusion process was expected to take at least hundreds of years. One should know that the Taiching Saint took a full thousand years to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill back in the day.

What Li Qingming needed to do now was to wait quietly.

However, Li Qingming was not one to idle about. If you asked him to stay in this silent void for hundreds, or even thousands, of years, it would be better to just kill him. So, Li Qingming turned his attention to the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc he had obtained.

That fragment of the Jade Disc carried the complete Laws of Time and Space. Having only understood two or three layers of it, Li Qingming was not capable of setting up a Time Array that could span a thousand years in an instant. However, he was confident in creating an Array that could turn one hundred years into one.

Thus, Li Qingming set up a Time Array around the Qiankun Ding, adjusting the time ratio to the maximum of 1:100.

This waiting period for Li Qingming lasted a total of ten years.

During these ten years, aside from spending the first year touring the entire Taiyin Star and catching many Thunderbolt Rabbits for roasting—whose meat was so fatty that it dripped with oil and whose texture was tender, melting in the mouth (to the delight of the picky Li Qingming)—for the remaining nine years, Li Qingming sat in meditation beside the Qiankun Tripod. His Primordial Spirit delved into the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, carefully comprehending the mysteries of the Laws of Time and Space.

In the span of nine years, Li Qingming’s presence gradually became faint to the point of near non-existence. Later on, even his breathing ceased. If any creature were to scan over his body with their Primordial Spirit at that moment, they might mistake Li Qingming for a lifeless object.

As the saying goes, "The greatest skill appears clumsy, and the Great Dao is simple." That may well describe Li Qingming’s current state.

When Li Qingming opened his eyes again and retracted the Time Array, the elixirs in the Qiankun Tripod were finally ripe.

However, just at that moment, dark clouds roared in from the horizon, carrying layers of cloud clusters running rampant like dragons, twisting together. Finally, from the distant stars of Outer Heaven, they rapidly converged above the Taiyin Star, covering an area of several miles.

"Elixir Tribulation!"

The dark clouds quickly converged from all directions, and Li Qingming commented bitterly with self-mockery: "Ever since I came to this world, I seem to have quite the affinity with these Heavenly Tribulations and Heavenly Punishments..."

Whenever a high-grade spiritual object is born, it provokes the Heavenly Dao and must endure Tribulation Crossing Thunder to continue existing in the world, and the Elixir Tribulation is one among them.

Take the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that Laozi refined in the past; it weathered through eighty-one strikes of Heavenly Tribulation. The pills that perished under the Elixir Tribulation numbered more than thirty, and that was with the protection of Laozi’s Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Without any shielding object, if the pill itself had to survive this Tribulation, it’s feared that eight out of ten would be lost. This is also why Laozi treasured those few gourds of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

As Li Qingming looked up at the gathering dark clouds with a wry smile, a splendid golden streak of light, like a shooting star, sprang out from the Tripod, as if trying to flee from the Taiyin Star.

But the Qiankun Tripod, an almost Innate Level Spiritual Treasure, is well-equipped in containing and refining treasures; how could it possibly let this pill get away? A burst of blue light soared from the Tripod, and a massive suction force voraciously headed toward the golden Chaos Breaking Forbidden Pill. (To be continued.
