Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 578

Chapter 576 Golden Elixir Collection

Elixir Collection. The Chiwu Lu was beaten so hard that it howled and continuously spitted out external elixirs.

The Chiwu Lu, which had suppressed the world for eternity, was ruthlessly suppressed by Jiang Li, leaving it no chance of recovery.

Su Wei was below, collecting the external elixirs and selling them to the crowd. Everyone thought they were valuable and generous with their spirit stones, selling out all three thousand external elixirs.

“This refined golden elixir is stronger than the average Golden Elixir Stage,” Jiang Li said, walking towards Su Wei.

The Chiwu Lu accidentally fell and was seriously injured, unable to stand. Jiang Li had to drag it to Su Wei.

Jiang Li continued, “However, this technique can only be used at the Golden Elixir Stage. This modified golden elixir destroys its perfection. Once it reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, it will not be as powerful as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator achieved through the top three golden elixirs.”

Golden elixirs are divided into three grades: high, medium, and low, with the top three grades being the strongest.

Upon hearing this, everyone tried their hand at using this elixir to simulate a Nascent Soul. They discovered that, as Jiang Li had predicted, it was inferior to a top-three grade elixir. Depending on the elixir

‘s characteristics, its power hovered between the mid- and low-grade elixir-forming Nascent Souls. For example, a Taiji elixir could be cultivated into a Taiji Nascent Soul. While this Nascent Soul’s quality was the lowest among the Nascent Souls, it could circulate yin and yang energy, a trait that rivaled that of a mid-range Nascent Soul in combat power.

Therefore, this method of refining elixir was highly sought after by cultivators. After all,

only a tiny minority, less than 10%, could achieve a top-three grade elixir.

Jiang Li suggested, “Why don’t we write down what happened today and call it ‘Golden Elixir Collection’? This will serve as a reference for future generations as they work towards elixir formation. Those who can achieve a top-three grade elixir should do so. Those who can’t should follow our example and devote more time to their elixir.”

Everyone agreed. Today had been so much fun, and it felt like something was missing if they didn’t record it.

The fusion-stage cultivators pondered silently, quickly coming up with a plan for their writing, recording their successes and failures.

Bai Hongtu collected the written pages and organized them into a book.

Yu Yin ground ink and spread out paper, writing down the appearances of various golden elixirs and scenes from today’s battle as supplementary text.

Jiang Li wanted to write a preface to the “Golden Elixir Collection,” imitating the “Lanting Collection Preface.

” “In the fourth thousand and first year of the Yan calendar, in the year of Guichou, at the beginning of late spring, we met under the banyan tree of the Lingzhi Sect… How do I recite the rest of the poem?”

Jiang Li took up his pen, pondering for a long time before finally assigning the task to Dong Zhongren.

Dong Zhongren was flattered; Emperor Jiang Ren would bestow such an honor upon him—truly selfless and admirable.

Finally, thanks to Jiang Li’s efforts, the “Golden Elixir Collection Preface” was completed. Everyone signed their names in a flamboyant manner, and Bai Hongtu used his magic to create copies of the book, distributing them to everyone as a keepsake.

The original copy remained in the Human Emperor Palace, where it was distributed to the cultivators of the Nine Provinces.

When Jiang Li handed the “Preface to the Golden Elixir Collection” to Commander Liu, Commander Liu looked puzzled.

“Palace Master, I remember you were going to overcome the tribulation, so why did you return with a book that collected the insights of the top cultivators in Jiuzhou on the Golden Elixir stage?”

Jiang Li didn’t know how to explain this, so he could only laugh it off.

Jiang Li had spent the night in the Human Emperor Palace, proving himself to be the Human Emperor who often sat in the Palace.

In the morning, as he walked out of the Palace, he met the Taoist of Heavenly Destiny.

“Greetings, Human Emperor.” The Taoist of Heavenly Destiny bowed.

Jiang Li was puzzled. They had just met yesterday at the Spirit Plant Sect, so why was he here again?

“Please forgive me, Human Emperor. After I returned to the Tianji Tower, I told you about what happened today. My new disciple suggested writing a report about you. I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed.”

The Taoist of Heavenly Destiny was followed by a young cultivator, presumably his new disciple.

“I don’t care. What do you want to report at Tianji Tower?”

“I want to write an article called ‘A Day in the Life of Jiang Renhuang.'” The young disciple looked at Jiang Li with admiration.

“This is my youngest disciple, named Yanshi. Before this, he was the second senior brother of Guan Dacheng Sect.”

“Yanshi has met Renhuang.”

“…You don’t pick and choose your disciples by their status?” Jiang Li felt that the disciples of Guan Dacheng Sect were truly omnipresent.

“Renhuang, you may not know, but this young disciple of mine is incredibly talented at writing news stories about you, and he’s also an exceptionally talented practitioner of our sect’s technique, ‘Mastering Heavenly Secrets.'”

Jiang Li had a feeling that Tianming Daoist had other motives in accepting Yanshi as his disciple.

“What do I need to do?”

“You don’t need to do anything. Just bring Yanshi with you whenever you go. Yanshi will use his magical treasure to record your daily activities.”

“Of course, Yanshi might be puzzled by some of your actions and ask you questions. Feel free to answer them.”

Jiang Li nodded, figuring it was nothing, and agreed.

Taoist Tianming gave Yanshi a few words of advice before disappearing into the air. Yanshi followed Jiang Li quietly, as if invisible.

Yanshi looked at Jiang Li’s back and couldn’t help but think of the instructions given by his eldest brother, third brother, fourth sister, and others.

Their disciples of Guan Dacheng Sect were scattered throughout Jiuzhou. It can be said that they could be seen everywhere except the Human Emperor Palace.

Their purpose was to observe Jiang Renhuang and deduce the changes in humanity.

They must live up to expectations and observe Jiang Renhuang carefully.

All major forces knew something about Guan Dacheng Sect’s affairs, but they didn’t care much about it. There was no other reason, simply that they felt that a sect should be responsible for recording Jiang Li’s whereabouts. They

absolutely did not think it was fun and let Guan Dacheng Sect do whatever they wanted.

They dared to swear to Bai Hongtu.

…

Jiang Li changed his appearance, randomly chose a city, and went to the city for breakfast. He ordered a bowl of millet porridge and two trays of steamed buns, which he ate with gusto, chatting with the diners from time to time, talking about all sorts of happy things, such as how Jiang Renhuang had survived his sixteenth immortal tribulation, how he had made another breakthrough in swordsmanship, and how he had returned from the dead to become an immortal being…

Yanshi carefully noted: Emperor Jiang was a low-key person, disguised himself, and observed the people’s sentiments. He personally investigated local breakfast conditions, checking whether the food was expensive and good. He also paid attention to his own public opinion, reflecting on himself.

“Emperor, since you’re already fasting, why do you still eat breakfast?”

“Because this place’s millet porridge and steamed buns are truly delicious. I’ve eaten them several times.” Jiang Li, unsatisfied, requested two more trays of steamed buns, one for himself and one for Yanshi.

He ate for the taste; it was impossible to satisfy his hunger.

A fasting monk never felt hungry or full.

Yanshi thanked Emperor Jiang and carefully noted: Emperor Jiang insisted on eating breakfast at the same breakfast shop, observing price fluctuations.

Yanshi took a bite of the steamed bun and found it delicious. He asked the shop owner how they made it. The shop owner didn’t hide anything and explained the production process.

Yanshi noted: Good ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods…
