Chapter 677 - 322: Li Gou Ascends to Immortality
The three Profound Immortal Pills were sold, leaving him with over three thousand Anomaly Crystals in hand, more than enough to attempt the Immortal Dao Anomaly Crystal.But besides Anomaly Crystals, there is one crucial item that needs to be prepared: the Immortal Blood Pill!
Once becoming immortal, one is inevitably tested by treacherous tribulations. Many cultivators fail to endure at this stage, becoming ensnared by ominous forces, transforming into something indescribable, fate worse than death.
The Immortal Blood Pill is recognized as the best auxiliary pill for becoming immortal, significantly increasing one’s chances of survival.
Of course, the Immortal Blood Pill is not万能, as Li An has learned during this time. Even with the use of an Immortal Blood Pill, cultivators are still vulnerable to the indescribable effects, although the symptoms may be milder and do not fundamentally affect the cultivator for the time being.
The stronger the tribulation pill used, the more it can protect oneself.
Rumor has it that some prodigies, to walk further, use the "Profound Light Pill," usually reserved for Profound Immortal tribulations, when they are ascending to immortality. With the Profound Light Pill, cultivators can safely advance, and their very being remains unaffected.
But this also has side effects. Each stage has its own appropriate pill, and using future pills at lower realms diminishes their effectiveness later. When those individuals ascend from Immortal to Profound Immortal, the Profound Light Pill’s effect is greatly reduced, forcing them to use "Celestial Dew Pill," meant for the Celestial Immortal stage, akin to robbing from the future to pay the present...
Li An prepared to purchase just one Immortal Blood Pill.
The value of a Profound Light Pill is too high; he might have to sell all his Profound Immortal Pills to gather the funds. Moreover, he has the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill as his reliance, and his自身仙道修为...if he truly cannot withstand the legendary treacherous tribulation, he may as well retreat and give up becoming immortal!
He immediately left and headed to the Cloud Ascension Palace. After waiting for a long time, he entered Golden Wall Immortal’s dwelling, bowed to the Golden Wall Immortal, and said, "Greetings, Palace Master!"
Golden Wall Immortal opened his eyes and looked at him, "About to become immortal?"
Li An nodded, "I trouble the Palace Master. The disciple wishes to enter the Land of Divine Descent soon."
Golden Wall Immortal nodded, "Hmm, in ten days."
Li An took his leave and made his way out of the palace.
Within Purple Cloud Mountain, besides the sect’s established "Hundred Treasures Hall," there’s also a trading market organized privately by disciples. The items in the Hundred Treasures Hall are produced by the various halls of Purple Cloud Mountain, boasting high quality and high prices, whereas the trading market contains an assortment of everything, with many second-hand items.
Li An did not browse the trading market and went directly to the Hundred Treasures Hall. Facing the treacherous tribulation, he would rather spend generously.
After stating his purpose, an envoy led him to a wooden cabinet, saying, "Since this junior brother aims to reach the Immortal realm, the Immortal Blood Pill is indispensable. The quality of the Immortal Blood Pill varies, and this ordinary Immortal Blood Pill can increase your survival rate by forty percent; it is also our best-selling item here."
Li An asked, "Is there anything better?"
The attendant’s eyes lit up, "Of course!"
He then took out another small bottle and handed it to Li An, "This is a top-grade Immortal Blood Pill, personally refined by the Immortal Medicine Hall Master, capable of increasing the survival rate by five to six percent. To be honest, junior brother, we only have three left in our hall!"
Li An opened the bottle and took a whiff. Indeed, he sensed the life-blood energy contained in this pill was richer than a typical Immortal Blood Pill. However, upon seeing the price on the bottle, his heart ached.
One thousand Anomaly Crystals!
One thousand Anomaly Crystals... is enough to buy a Profound Immortal Pill.
Truly expensive!
But Li An gritted his teeth and bought it.
No other reason, but self-preservation is crucial!
The treacherous tribulation is so mysterious, facing it for the first time requires every possible precaution.
After all, in the path of nourishing Spirit Medicine, with the aid of the Demon Skill, Shennong Skill, and force of time, cultivating Profound Immortal Pills isn’t too difficult. Spending these Anomaly Crystals is manageable.
Returning to his dwelling, he immediately consumed the Blood Pill－－
According to predecessors’ experiences, tribulation-crossers should take the Blood Pill in advance, integrating it into themselves, to ensure that during the treacherous tribulation, this Immortal Blood Pill can safeguard their life.
...
In the blink of an eye.
Ten days passed.
That day, Li An set out for the Land of Divine Descent.
"Senior Brother Gu Fan, are you really not afraid?"
Xu Yuan came to see him off, seemingly puzzled and worried.
"One must explore."
Li An smiled slightly, "Once I return, I’ll tell you about the treacherous tribulation; maybe then you won’t be so afraid."
Saying this, he left.
Watching his back, Xu Yuan muttered, "Could it be, did I sense incorrectly... I distinctly felt an indescribable presence on him, hidden deep, definitely not Anomalous Qi, but now he’s resolute about going to the Land of Divine Descent, is he really an Abnormal Cultivator? Really about to become immortal?"
He was apprehensive.
However, waiting will soon confirm it.
If Li An is truly a legitimate cultivator, he certainly won’t become immortal.
Conversely, that would mean Xu Yuan identified the wrong person... possibly bringing trouble upon himself.
In an instant, Xu Yuan unexpectedly felt regretful. It was reckless of him; he shouldn’t have shared those things with Li An...
He was also baffled as to why, in all his years at Purple Cloud Mountain, he hadn’t shared a word, yet facing Gu Fan, he trusted so readily? Could it be because Gu Fan was extraordinarily kind to him??
...
The Land of Divine Descent is the core area of Purple Cloud Mountain, located within the main peak, Purple Cloud Peak.
At the entrance, a powerful elder sat guarding, checked Li An’s registration. Indeed, he was reported by Cloud Ascension Palace a few days ago, so the elder nodded and allowed Li An inside.
