Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 228 Enlightenment Elixir, Plan (2/2)
“What is that? I’ve never come across it in any elixir books.”
Lin Jing asked in confusion, turning to Wei Zhengqing.
Wei Zhengqing then began to explain:
“The Enlightenment Elixir isn’t produced through alchemy, but rather, it’s the result of a Divinity Transformation Stage or higher Cultivator condensing their lifetime of insights when they’re about to pass away, forming a fruit of the way.
“Because it is extremely similar to an Elixir Medicine, it’s called an Enlightenment Elixir.”
“This Elixir, when used by Cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Stage, can enhance their understanding of the heavenly way, allowing them to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage more quickly.”
“Especially for those at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage, the Enlightenment Elixir is highly sought after.”
“I’m sure you’re aware, Brother Lin, that very few Cultivators above Divinity Transformation naturally reach the end of their life and leave behind such an Elixir, and even if they do, it’s usually kept for their clan’s descendants and seldom remains in the world.”
“Therefore, the Enlightenment Elixir is extremely precious.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing suddenly realized why the Moon Demon Sect Leader would pursue them so aggressively.
With lingering questions, Lin Jing voiced a series of inquiries:
“If it’s so precious, Brother Wei, how did you come by the Enlightenment Elixir?”
“And…”
“How did that bead end up inside Si Yue’s body?”
Wei Zhengqing then said:
“Brother Lin, do you recall the ruins I mentioned to you before?”
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Of course, I remember…”
“Could it be that the Enlightenment Elixir was found within those ruins?”
Wei Zhengqing nodded and said:
“Exactly, it was within those ruins that we obtained the Enlightenment Elixir.”
Afterward, Wei Zhengqing began to recount the entire story of how it all began:
“Back then, Yan Xiong and I were cultivating and enhancing our power while traveling through the Northern Devil Region…”
“Everything was going smoothly until that day when a ruin was discovered, drawing many powers and cultivators towards it—including us.”
“And…”
“It was precisely in those ruins where I met Si Yue’s mother, Luan Shuangyue…”
“The first time I saw her, truth be told, I was in disbelief, I never expected someone in this world could resemble Ning Yue so closely…”
“I couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her, which unfortunately displeased her…”
…
…
Wei Zhengqing, immersed in his own world, recounted the details of his time with Luan Shuangyue.
From their initial encounter to gradually getting to know each other, and eventually, the two of them getting trapped together in a secret chamber within the ruins…
“It was in that secret chamber where we supported each other, came to understand one another, fell in love, and became intimate…”
Wei Zhengqing reminisced and narrated…
“The time we were trapped in that chamber could be said to be the happiest period of my life…”
“There, she was no longer the Holy Maiden of the Moon Demon Sect, and I had completely forgotten Ning Yue…”
“She was just herself, not a substitute for Ning Yue.”
At this point, Wei Zhengqing suddenly turned his head, looked at Lin Jing, and asked:
“Brother Lin, when you first heard the name Si Yue, did you think I was referring to Ning Yue?”
