Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Summoning his Innate Flame, Adam began to burn the medicinal herbs in an orderly sequence.
Although also a second-grade pill, the Marrow Washing Pill was far more difficult to refine than the Foundation Establishment Liquid, and its various tedious procedures were extremely complex.
The Marrow Washing Pill could easily be called one of the three most difficult second-grade pills to refine.
An ordinary second-grade alchemist might find it difficult to successfully refine one even once in their entire lifetime.
But for Adam, who was now an Alchemy master, there was no difference between the Marrow Washing Pill and the Foundation Establishment Liquid.
Relying on his peak fire-controlling skills, it took him a mere three incense sticks’ worth of time to successfully refine the Marrow Washing Pill.
Looking at the crystal-clear, jade-like pill in his hand, Adam did not hesitate in the slightest. He swallowed it in one gulp, then sat cross-legged and began to refine its medicinal efficacy. freewebnσvel.cøm
The moment the Marrow Washing Pill entered his stomach, Adam felt a warm current flow through his heart.
Soon after, his body gradually grew scorching hot. It did not take long for him to turn completely red all over, with white smoke billowing from his head, steaming profusely.
Adam felt as if there was a heavenly furnace inside him refining his very self. It felt as though his entire body was about to melt.
He held his breath and concentrated, knowing the Marrow Washing Pill’s medicinal efficacy was taking effect, calcining the impurities within his body.
Now was the critical moment.
If he slacked off and the impurities were not completely purged, leaving even a single trace, it would inevitably leave a flaw when forging his Innate Body.
Enduring the roasting pain from within, Adam circulated his cultivation technique, continuously refining the pill’s medicinal power. He gradually slipped into a state of deep cultivation.
An hour later, sensing the scorching pain slowly weaken until it completely disappeared, Adam finally opened his eyes.
A foul, fishy stench emanated from his skin.
Looking at his body covered in filth, Adam immediately jumped into the bathtub to wash himself.
After washing up and putting his clothes back on, he looked at his reflection in the bronze mirror and was instantly stunned on the spot.
Flawless as white jade, gentle and elegant, exceptionally handsome, peerless in the world.
This Spotless and Stainless Body was powerful indeed. Although his facial features had not changed much, his entire temperament had undergone an extremely obvious transformation.
The original owner was already handsome, otherwise he would not be in this situation. But compared to now, it was the difference between an ordinary person and a superstar.
Before, it was rough craftsmanship. Now, it was exquisitely carved.
If Adam were to leak any intentions of marriage right now, the threshold of Vernal Manor would probably be trampled flat by matchmakers.
However, these were merely superficial things. What Adam valued most was the improvement of his strength.
Adam circulated his cultivation method, and joy instantly appeared on his face.
This Spotless and Stainless Body was indeed incredible, his body’s absorption rate of spiritual energy was dozens of times faster than before.
In this Dharma-Ending Age where spiritual energy was thin, there were only two ways to improve one’s cultivation on the path of cultivation.
The first was to increase the speed of absorbing ambient spiritual energy.
The second was to increase the speed of refining it.
In present-day Silver Willow Dynasty, those peerless Heaven’s Chosen all possessed some level of talent in these areas.
The reason the Heaven and Earth Upheaval would cause turmoil in Silver Willow Dynasty was that the spiritual energy in the world would drastically increase.
As long as you were a cultivator, even with the worst aptitude, your strength would multiply several times over.
Not to mention, during this Upheaval, many heaven and earth treasures and peerless rarities would also be born. Even a mediocre person could have the chance to become a Mortal Supreme if they obtained a peerless rarity.
For resources and for power, many cultivators would violently slaughter each other. Unless a supreme figure capable of suppressing the world appeared, like the first Emperor a thousand years ago, this chaotic Silver Willow Dynasty would never be pacified.
Two days ago, Adam had activated his God-Tier Comprehension.
In just a single day, he broke through from the fifth level of Qi Condensation to the Innate Realm. The reason was that his speed of refining ambient spiritual energy had taken a leaping advancement.
But the original owner’s aptitude was mediocre, and his absorption speed had been extremely slow.
Now, with this Spotless and Stainless Body, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy would be massively increased.
Adam speculated that if he had possessed this body two days ago, he could guarantee he would only need an afternoon to break through from the fifth level of Qi Condensation to the Innate Realm.
After completing Marrow Washing, the second Innate step, the next was forging the Innate Body.
Compared to the second step, condensing the Innate Body was relatively simple, he only needed to use the Innate Qi converted from spiritual energy to temper his body.
After stepping into the Innate Realm, the spiritual energy stored in his spiritual core had long since been converted into Innate Qi.
Without the slightest delay, Adam immediately mobilized the Innate Qi in his spiritual core to temper his physical form.
Three hours passed in a flash. When Adam awoke from his cultivation state, the sky was already faintly bright.
He had finally condensed the most perfect Innate Body. Now that he had reached Innate peak, even looking at the entirety of Silver Willow Dynasty, he could be considered a minor expert.
Sensing the vigorous power and exuberant vitality within his body, Adam could finally let go of much of the anxiety that had been suppressing his heart these past few days.
In current Silver Willow Dynasty, a Heaven and Earth Deity had not been born for hundreds of years.
Mortal Supremes were the absolute top figures in the dynasty.
In all of Silver Willow Dynasty, supreme figures like Mortal Supremes would not exceed twenty, even by the most generous estimates. Moreover, the majority resided inside the Silver Willow Imperial Palace.
Not to mention, these Mortal Supremes were like divine dragons whose heads could be seen but not their tails. Ordinary people rarely ever encountered them.
In the current cultivation world, the top figures were those Great Grandmasters.
