Chapter 392: Astonishing Power

“You can just think of it as a technique I created myself,” Lu Yang said, not bothering to explain further since it would be too complicated to do so.

Seventh Elder didn’t press the matter. After watching Lu Yang perform the technique once, he could easily calculate how to adjust the ingredients for the pill that Lu Yang needed.

With a quick calculation, Seventh Elder nodded. “Give me a moment, and the pill will be ready.”

Seventh Elder, holding a comb-like tool, casually gathered various herbs from the shelves without even needing to weigh them.

He made a single lap around the shelves, and his comb was filled with ingredients, which he divided into five portions based on the order in which they should be used.

Then, he stomped his foot, and a cluster of flames burst forth. The flames connected in a lotus-like shape, blooming brightly.

“Are these all True Fire?” Lu Yang was shocked, suddenly reminded of the wall full of True Fire that the Fifth Elder had collected.

Lu Yang mused, “Fifth Elder once said that all of these True Fires were painstakingly gathered from all over the world. Could it be that the Dao Seeking Sect has a tradition where disciples travel the world to collect True Fire?”

Seventh Elder noticed Lu Yang staring and casually explained, “I snatched these True Fires from Fifth Elder.”

Lu Yang: “...”

Seventh Elder ignited the furnace. Three different flames emerged, flowing under the tripod-shaped cauldron, sparking a fierce fire. The bottom of the cauldron turned red-hot, and even from a distance, Lu Yang could feel the heat waves from the three True Fires.

The five portions of herbs were added to the cauldron in sequence, and within moments, they dissolved into a thick liquid, emitting a fragrant aroma. Inhaling it made Lu Yang feel like he was about to ascend to immortality.

Outside the elixir liquid, a small black glob of liquid floated. As more ingredients were added, the black liquid grew in size, its color shifting from black to green, releasing the same medicinal fragrance.

Seventh Elder clapped his hands together, and with a loud clang, the cauldron’s lid shut tightly. Lu Yang could no longer see the transformation within the elixir liquid, but the scent in the air grew increasingly rich.

“What a remarkable alchemy technique. Even the excess herbal residue can be refined into other pills, and their quality is far from low,” Everlasting Fairy remarked with a hint of surprise. Among the Unity Stage experts she had seen, none had reached Seventh Elder’s level of mastery.

“Open!” Seventh Elder shouted, and the cauldron opened with a bang. A series of pills, surrounded by swirling clouds of medicinal essence, flew out, landing on the prepared golden tray with a crisp clinking sound.

“This is a pill I concocted on the spot based on your physical traits and the way you cast your spells. I’m calling it the Yang Revitalizing Pill. I’m not sure how effective it will be, so why don’t you give it a try?” Seventh Elder flicked a pill over to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang stepped outside, held the Yang Revitalizing Pill in his mouth, and circulated his spiritual power to cast Village in the Palm.

Suddenly, the sky darkened as the massive hand, the size of a village, descended. His spiritual power was rapidly drained, and at this point in the past, the technique would have failed. But this time, the Yang Revitalizing Pill transformed into a warm flow, replenishing his depleted spiritual power just in time, allowing the hand to continue its descent.

Boom—

The enormous hand slammed down, generating a shockwave that sent dust flying. Lu Yang himself was nearly blown away by the force of the aftershock!

“But how do I test it with people?”

Lu Yang looked around. Heaven’s Gate Peak had many things, but no people.

He couldn’t just grab a senior brother or sister from the lower peaks to test it.

“I’ve got it!”

Lu Yang descended the mountain and went to the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion, where he bought a duck from the kitchen.

“Let’s test it with this duck.”

Lu Yang absorbed the duck into his palm. The duck first pecked at his finger before disappearing into the space within his hand.

Watching the duck hopping around inside the space, Lu Yang pondered, “If the duck can fit, then people can probably fit too... Wait, can I fit myself in here?”

Lu Yang stared at his hand, unable to resist the temptation to try.

“The path to immortality is filled with challenges. As cultivators, we must be brave in our experiments. How could I let fear hold me back?”

Just as Everlasting Fairy was about to warn him, Lu Yang slapped his own forehead with his palm.

...

Yun Zhi had just finished listening to the life story of the Sovereign of Calamities and left the Prison Peak.

She had been away for over half a month and wondered if her junior brother had been diligently cultivating.

With a great era approaching and all the forces stirring, advancing one’s cultivation as quickly as possible was the highest priority.

Her junior brother was sensible and mature, fully aware of the situation. He should have been focused on his cultivation.

But when she returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak, she found that Lu Yang had completely disappeared, leaving only half an arm visible.

The severed arm was being absorbed into a palm, which was struggling to consume it entirely due to the structure of the body.

The palm and arm had formed a spinning ring, rotating rapidly in the air.

Yun Zhi: “?”

What kind of cultivation technique was this?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
