Chapter 587: Chapter 245: Ji Xiyue’s Wager, Repairing the Elixir Manuscript_2
“`
In the pill book contained within this jade slip, Lin Jing had also gained some understanding.
The alchemy techniques recorded in this pill book share some similarities with the Lin Family’s alchemy path, but there still exists a gap.
Although some key parts had already been lost, Lin Jing could still make out that these alchemy techniques likely had some connection to the ancient alchemy arts.
It was very possible that these were techniques recorded by a descendant of a family from the ancient alchemy path.
Even though these alchemy techniques were incomplete, they were not beyond repair.
Lin Jing was fully confident that he could restore them.
After looking over it, Ji Xiyue approached with hopeful eyes and asked Lin Jing,
“Lin Daoyou, what do you think?”
“Can this pill book be repaired?”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“It may be a bit troublesome, but there is no problem in repairing it.”
Ji Xiyue immediately became joyful,

“Then I will have to trouble Lin Daoyou…”
Lin Jing waved his hand and said,
“No need for politeness.”
“I will keep this jade slip with me for the time being, and once I have repaired it, I will return it to you.”
Ji Xiyue promptly responded,
“No problem.”
…
In the following period, Lin Jing’s tranquil life once again became busy.
On normal days, Lin Jing was either helping Ji Xiyue to repair the pill book or occasionally concocting some elixir medicines himself.
During this period, Ji Xiyue often visited Lin Jing.
Sometimes, the two of them would discuss the alchemy techniques.
Other times, Lin Jing would ask Ji Xiyue about the matters of advancing to Divinity Transformation.
Although Ji Xiyue had once warned Lin Jing not to aim too high too soon,
she still answered all of his inquiries.
Through Ji Xiyue, Lin Jing learned…
that to advance to Divinity Transformation, every cultivator must go through this stage of enlightenment.
This enlightenment generally starts when one enters the Nascent Soul Peak Stage.
Yet, Lin Jing was somewhat different.
He was currently only in the latter stage of Nascent Soul, but had already experienced an epiphany once before, entering a period of enlightenment.
Which means, Lin Jing’s enlightenment had begun since that epiphany.
Ordinary cultivators typically spend at least a hundred years in this state of enlightenment.
They remain at Nascent Soul Peak for a hundred years, then successfully comprehend the power of heaven and earth and ascend to Divinity Transformation.
This, even for those with impressive talents.
Of course, there are also those with duller talents who, after several hundred years of comprehension, still fail to fully understand and thus remain at the Nascent Soul Peak.
There are those with keen talents, naturally, and they usually comprehend much faster than others, with the especially swift possibly needing only a decade or two to fully comprehend.
Beyond those mentioned, some individuals achieve enlightenment in a single moment and directly transform into divinity.
Once such people appear, they become legends, usually accompanied by great fortunes and not to be compared with ordinary folks.
This enlightenment, depending on each individual’s life experiences and chosen methods, naturally differs.
Lin Jing had inquired about it, and Ji Xiyue had told him some of the methods used by the Divine Transformation Cultivators from the Xingluo Elixir Sect in the past.
Some, upon reaching this step,
would temporarily leave the sect or their family, immersing themselves in the natural world and seeking understanding of heaven and earth.
Others would cease their cultivation, devoting themselves to a certain passion, researching it with zeal and intoxication and using it as a medium to comprehend the power of heaven and earth.
Yet others self-impose a seal, turn into a commoner among mortals, integrate with the world, and cultivate the Dao in the mundane.
In short, there are various methods.
After reaching Nascent Soul Peak Stage, the significance of cultivation diminishes greatly.
If one cannot comprehend the power of heaven and earth, they will be stuck at the latter stage of Nascent Soul for life.
Moreover, Ji Xiyue’s father, the Grand Elder of the Xingluo Elixir Sect who was at the Body Consolidation phase, had also said,
after entering Nascent Soul Peak Stage, one should no longer prioritize increasing one’s cultivation level.
Because by that time, even without active cultivation, one’s cultivation level would slowly and automatically increase.
If at this stage one continues to meditate to enhance their cultivation level, not only would it not be very effective, but it might even interfere with their own enlightenment.
After Ji Xiyue’s explanation, Lin Jing had gained some understanding of advancing to Divinity Transformation.
However, regarding that enlightenment,
Lin Jing still fell far short, still somewhat clueless about it.
And Ji Xiyue, having reached Nascent Soul Peak only over twenty years ago, also had a vague understanding and could not fully answer Lin Jing’s question.
Hence, Lin Jing did not inquire further.
…
Time rushed by in a flash.
