Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Chapter 158: Golden Core Peak, Refining the Nirvana Elixir (2/2)

otherwise, it would have been eradicated long ago.

especially that mysterious guild leader, although he had made moves but a few times, his enigmatic yet potent image had long been etched in people’s minds.

therefore, his downfall caused such a huge sensation.

moreover, coupled with the demise of the other seventeen puppet guild cultivators, people couldn’t help but speculate, what on earth had happened.

to have caused the simultaneous death of eighteen puppet guild cultivators, including the guild leader himself.

soon, the incident was leaked by the cultivators behind the puppet guild.

turns out this mission was actually for the sake of one person…

and this person was the very powerful cultivator who had briefly appeared on the sea of blood shore and then entered deeper into the sea of blood.

this person rarely showed his face, so no one knew his name.

the few who did know lin jing’s name had all participated in the mission to encircle him and had all turned into walking corpses.

consequently, lin jing’s name also became a mystery.

later on, even the battlefield where the two sides had clashed was discovered, drawing countless onlookers.

of course, among them was a particularly curious individual who was involved throughout.

that person was zhao linxing.

when zhao linxing heard that someone had killed eighteen cultivators, including the puppet guild leader, he was also extremely shocked.

and he marveled at this person’s strength.

but as the events slowly unraveled, the deeds of lin jing came to light.

zhao linxing listened, finding the tale increasingly familiar.

until finally, he nearly confirmed it.

it must have been lin jing’s doing.

however, zhao linxing did not mention this to anyone else, and instead sought out xu ye at the first opportunity to inquire about the situation.

after zhao linxing’s arrival, xu ye revealed the truth to him.

that the cultivator who had slain the puppet guild leader and the other seventeen members was indeed lin jing.

even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still so stunned that he became speechless.

afterward, xu ye reminded zhao linxing that this matter absolutely must not be revealed.

zhao linxing promptly nodded like a pecking chicken in agreement.

in the following period, the outside world was abuzz with discussions, and the puppet guild thus fell into decline, leaving scarcely a trace of activity.

as for all these occurrences in the outside world, lin jing was completely unaware, as he had been patiently cultivating all this time.

……

and so, seven years passed by just like that.

during these seven years, lin jing had not stepped out even once.

apart from staying within the system space, lin jing was cultivating using spirit stones in his own abode.

in reality, lin jing had already reached the peak of the golden core five years ago.

however, after reaching the golden core peak, lin jing did not feel the coming of the heavenly tribulation.

he knew this might be because he had just entered the golden core peak, and his cultivation was not sufficient, hence he could not trigger the heavenly tribulation.

so,

after reaching the golden core peak, lin jing did not emerge to notify xu ye.

instead, he continued to cultivate, aiming to completely perfect the realm of the golden core peak in one go.

sure enough, after five years of continuous cultivation, lin jing finally perfected the golden core peak state.

at this moment, he was only one step away from the nascent soul realm.

and it was then that lin jing finally felt the call of the heavenly tribulation.

although he sensed the calling of the heavenly tribulation, lin jing did not immediately emerge to face the tribulation.

he still had one last step to prepare.

this time, within the devouring spirit blood realm, the sensing of the heavenly tribulation was far too weak.

lin jing also needed to prepare the elixir medicine necessary for transcending the tribulation.

the elixir medicine needed for the tribulation was the nirvana elixir.

although lin jing already had one top-quality nirvana elixir, this tribulation was too crucial to leave things to chance, so he had to prepare in advance.

hence, lin jing needed to concoct another batch of the nirvana elixir as a backup.

following this, lin jing re-entered the system space from his abode.

previously, in the space ring of that puppet guild cultivator, lin jing had obtained a nirvana flower.

with that nirvana flower in hand, lin jing now had all ingredients necessary to concoct the nirvana elixir.

so, after entering the system space, lin jing immediately headed to the alchemy room.

preparing to begin the alchemy process.

once in the alchemy room, lin jing took out the spirit plants he had already prepared.

nirvana flower, thousand spirit divine leaf, moonflow pure heart fruit, and so on…

having taken out these ingredients, lin jing started the preprocessing work for the alchemy…

it took him more than an hour to process all the materials.

afterward, lin jing meditated to recover.

once revitalized, lin jing was in peak condition and ready to begin the alchemy process.

then, rising to his feet, lin jing approached the cloud pattern purple gold furnace and started to invoke the divine fire triple realm.

a purple flame instantly rose…

lin jing then controlled the purple flame, bringing it under the furnace to start heating it up.

after a while, seeing that the pill furnace was almost ready, lin jing began to add the processed spirit plants into the furnace in sequence.

only after all the spirit plants were fully inside did lin jing sit cross-legged next to the pill furnace, carefully controlling the flame.

on the other hand, he cautiously extended his divine sense to monitor the activity within the furnace.

…

…

as time steadily passed,

several hours flew by quickly, and the elixir medicine inside the pill furnace was almost ready.

at this moment, lin jing, after using his divine sense for several continuous hours, looked somewhat fatigued, but his eyes were still earnestly fixed on the pill furnace, his determination unwavering.
