: The Five Elements Revolve, Opening the Elixir Chamber

Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is a basic human instinct.

Although the two members of the Fu family had their aura completely erased by Lu Jianghe, their bodies and souls were annihilated.

However, the commotion caused during the earlier pursuit of Qi Yunxiao and the break-in at the shop still attracted the attention of a few individuals.

However, such conflicts are quite common in the world of cultivation.

Unless, in the end, disaster strikes and implicates one's own interests.

Otherwise, few people would delve into the root cause, let alone take the initiative to investigate the reasons behind it.

Therefore, no one really cared.

However, news of the appearance of a top-tier formation called the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" spread like wildfire throughout the market.

Qi Yunxiao was already a formation master in this area, and this incident made him even more famous.

Many cultivators secretly pondered his background and origins, wondering how he came to possess such a precious treasure.

A monk, if he lives long enough, cannot be a fool.

By examining the subtle details and analyzing the underlying principles, one can usually arrive at a definitive conclusion.

This fool has absolutely no powerful backing.

What kind of good person would do something like hawking their wares on the street?

As expected, Qi Yunxiao's small shop was targeted by several different forces, who kept them there day and night.

The three major sects of Yuanwu Kingdom were already famous for their weapon crafting and formation techniques.

They naturally looked down on the "Inverted Five Elements Formation," which was rumored to be able to withstand a blow from a Core Formation cultivator.

However, this top-tier formation is naturally very valuable to cultivation families, and it is enough to serve as a protective barrier for their mountains.

Fu Tianhua, the patriarch of the Fu family, had spread the word early on that anyone who could provide definite clues about this person, regardless of the size of the information, would receive a reward once the information was confirmed.

Those well-informed and daring rogue cultivators inevitably harbored thoughts of taking advantage of the chaos, hoping to succeed by sheer luck and thus quietly carrying out their schemes.

Undercurrents began to stir in the various markets and towns of Yuanwu Kingdom.

Inside a secret chamber reinforced with multiple layers of restrictions.

Lu Jianghe sits in the meditation hall of forgetting himself.

Five spirit stones, each containing the primordial energy of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—slowly rotated around him.

The pure spiritual energy of the five elements emanated from the spirit stone, flowing like a trickle, continuously gathering and eventually flowing into his dantian.

He is currently using the power of the Five Elements to open up and stabilize the alchemy chamber.

The purpose of opening the alchemy chamber is to lay the foundation for the future condensation of the golden elixir and the transformation of the elixir into an infant.

Heaven has five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Following the natural order, these elements circulate on the earth, nurturing and nourishing all things in their respective seasons, spinning and repeating endlessly.

When all five elements are present, the ever-flowing essence of the five elements in the universe is naturally activated, forming a cycle.

It not only fills the dantian, but also nourishes the primordial spirit and soul of cultivators, strengthening their physical foundation.

In the mortal world, such a mysterious concept as the "alchemy chamber" does not exist.

But for Lu Jianghe, this was the "greatness" of the Great Way.

To bear all things and to act in accordance with their will, the five elements must be harmonized in order to achieve harmony.

In the future, one can also cultivate the primordial spirit and nurture the yin and yang spirits.

However, since he himself is drawn to water, when he opened the alchemy chamber, he only needed to draw in the original Qi of the Five Elements at the very beginning.

Originally, Lu Jianghe was deliberately looking for the so-called "hardware".

Unexpectedly, the spirit stone containing the essence of the five elements was enough to meet the needs of opening the alchemy chamber.

This surprised and delighted him.

These ores are the crystallization of the purest essence of heaven and earth, and are pure in nature without any impurities.

In this human realm, spirit stones containing the essence of a single element are called attribute spirit stones. Although they are not extremely rare, their value is far higher than that of ordinary spirit stones without attributes, given the same size.

One attribute spirit stone can often be exchanged for two or three ordinary spirit stones, or even more.

For this reason, core members of large families and sects, as well as those with exceptional talent, almost always choose to stockpile five-element spirit stones that match their own spiritual root attributes.

In this way, whether it is to restore spiritual power through daily cultivation or to replenish the depleted mana after intense battles, one can restore one's cultivation level at a faster pace.

Therefore, in transactions, the price of Five Elements Spirit Stones is usually much higher than that of ordinary spirit stones.

For Lu Jianghe, exchanging the spirit stones he accumulated from selling talismans for Five Elements Spirit Stones was very simple.

He originally thought that opening the alchemy chamber and finding all the five elements would take a lot of time.

They even considered postponing the process until after arriving at the Chaotic Star Sea.

I never expected this.

With a spirit of experimentation, these Five Elements Spirit Stones not only proved remarkably effective, but were also the best choice for opening a pill-making chamber.

This material itself contains the resources of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and the five elements.

Lu Jianghe hadn't seen many of them at the Sword Qi Great Wall.

But in this human realm, it seems so... within reach.

Feeling the transformation of the five elements' essence, flowing smoothly and circulating in the dantian and dantian, the smoothness far exceeded expectations.

Indeed, this human realm has its own mysteries.

The principles of the great way are sometimes hidden in seemingly ordinary and minute things.

Every realm has its own advantages and limitations, and this statement is certainly true.

Never underestimate any blessed land or otherworldly realm, for each has its unique endowments and shortcomings.

It was originally expected to take twenty or thirty years.

It seems that opening the alchemy chamber with the Five Elements Spirit Stones may be completed in a short time.

Once the foundation is completely solid, everything else will fall into place naturally.

Because its own great path is close to water.

Water benefits all things without striving, nourishing all living beings and sustaining the universe.

Even the founders of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism mostly praised and tolerated the merits of water virtue, never criticizing or objecting to it.

With his natal flying sword and the aid of a nurturing alchemy chamber, Lu Jianghe should be able to attempt his first condensation soon.

Even the formation of the Golden Elixir has its own rank and distinction between high and low.

Lu Jianghe's demands were not high.

A second-rank official position would be sufficient.

This already represents the qualifications for the upper five realms.

Of course, if one can form the legendary first-grade and flawless golden core, then one almost possesses the aptitude to directly reach the fourteenth realm of Dao Integration cultivators.

The only person he knew who could form such a first-grade golden elixir was Lü Yan.

Lu Jianghe did not aspire to directly achieve that elusive first-rank achievement.

It would be enough to form a second-grade golden core.

Just as heaven and earth are not perfect.

If one strives for perfection and flawlessness, it can easily become a constraint and a self-imposed shackle.

Therefore, do your best and leave the rest to fate; that's all.

Just like a clear mirror, the clearer and more flawless it is, the less it can withstand the slightest test or scrutiny.

With a slight wipe, the faint marks immediately become visible.

The rest is just a matter of patience and perseverance.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jianghe went out of the pass and closed the pass again during his time there, repeating this process three or four times.

The alchemy chamber has finally taken complete and stable shape.

At this moment, the five elemental stones surrounding him had long since turned to dust, but the pure essence contained within them had been completely absorbed and refined.

Within the Qi Sea, a delicate alchemy chamber floats in the center, resembling a miniature world or mind aperture.

It is neither metal nor stone, neither illusory nor real, but is constructed from the pure primordial energy of the five elements.

Its walls shimmer with light and color, as if the traces of the Dao were engraved when heaven and earth were first created.

The five elements revolve and circulate endlessly.
