Refining the Mountains and Rivers

r>Originally, this attribute aptitude should be placed in the very first position of difficulty, but as time passed and there were developments made in the cultivation world, it was possible for the flaws in attributes to be filled in using other methods.
Relatively speaking, while this may seem a bit more difficult than the first three requirements, it might have been a solvable problem in Jiang Li’s eyes, thus why he had arranged it in last place.

Qin Yu opened his eyes.
Although his mind was a bit tired, his eyes were bright.
The sword curtain reflected in his pupils, shimmering with a translucent halo.

As a pill-based cultivator, when it came to magic power and how ‘fast’ it increased, he had full confidence in this aspect.
Similarly, swallowing pills without a care in the world gave him a powerful soul far surpassing others of his realm.
And, the existence of the Soul Mushroom would definitely allow him to walk further on the path of having a dreadfully powerful soul.
As for his mortal body, the Demon Body was undoubtedly potent and could even be constantly enhanced.
To withstand five times the amount of magic power shouldn’t be a problem.

Besides the fourth requirement, no matter how Qin Yu thought about it, this Five Element Sword Array was perfectly suited to him.
And that fourth requirement could be made up for using external forces! In other words, the bottomless pit that Pill Crucible referred to, and that technique that Jiang Li earnestly warned him not to try, this Five Element Sword Array was actually something he could cultivate!

No.
It was actually something that he very much could!

Qin Yu reared his head back and laughed to the heavens!

After a long time, he stopped laughing.
Thinking a bit, he left the Pill Disposal Department once more.

Jiang Li received Qin Yu’s visit.
There was a smile on the corner of his lips.
“Very good! If you can come to visit an old man like me, that proves you haven’t been tempted by the Five Element Sword Array and become entranced by it.”

He turned and lightly said, “Valley Master, it seems you have lost the bet.”

Pill Crucible suddenly appeared.
He wrinkled his nose, “Those Hundred Altar Flowers are yours.” He ruthlessly glared at Qin Yu.
“You brat, whenever you show up, nothing good happens!”

Qin Yu forced a laugh.

Jiang Li brightly smiled.
“Qin Yu, what did you come here for today?”

Qin Yu cupped his hands together.
“This junior has looked through senior’s insights.
In the end, I also saw the four prerequisite conditions you listed to cultivate the Five Element Sword Array.”

Jiang Li laughed.
“That was a bit discouraging, right? In the past, I was just like you.
When I came to this conclusion, I couldn’t even eat for several days.
Maybe I should have erased that part earlier so that it didn’t affect your self-confidence.”

Qin Yu blinked his eyes.

Jiang Li continued to say, “One’s magic power needs to be five times higher, one’s soul force needs to be five times greater, one’s bodily intensity needs to be five times stronger.
If it weren’t for such severe requirements, the Five Element Sword Array wouldn’t have fallen to its current state today.” He sighed and asked, “Qin Yu, what did you want to ask me?”

Qin Yu said, “In the fourth requirement that senior mentioned, it was said that the disparity in attributes could be changed and made up for through external forces.
I was wondering what senior’s ideas for that were?” Seeing Jiang Li’s strange complexion, he continued to say with a straight face.
“The first three points were too difficult, so I have no choice but to ask about the fourth.
Even if I cannot cultivate it, it would be good to pass this information on in the future.”

Jiang Li was full of praise.
“If we swordsmen could all think like you, then we wouldn’t have had countless supernatural techniques disappear in the river of time.” He revealed a helpless look.
“As for the fourth point, when I first concluded that I wasn’t able to cultivate the Five Element Sword Array, I didn’t think much more about it.
That is only an idea that I have.”

Qin Yu was crestfallen, but he didn’t reveal this.
“I guess I was too presumptuous.
If I have a chance in the future, I will go to Heavenseek Pavilion and hope I can find an answer there.”

“Heavenseek Pavilion?” Pill Crucible frowned.
“What connection do you have with them?”

Qin Yu honestly said, “Before I broke into the Golden Core realm, I went to them to find out some information, and it was indeed useful to me.”

Pill Crucible’s mind relaxed, but his expression remained dark and serious.
“In the future, keep your distance from Heavenseek Pavilion.
Don’t approach them too closely.”

Jiang Li slowly said, “Qin Yu, you must listen to the Valley Master on this matter.
This Heavenseek Pavilion…they aren’t some good force at all!”

Qin Yu’s heart chilled.
He cupped his hands together.
If even two great Nascent Souls were being so careful and warning him about them, then the renowned Heavenseek Pavilion definitely had some extraordinary secret behind it.

After exchanging some more words, Qin Yu bid his farewells and left.

Pill Crucible frowned.
A rare grim expression crossed his face.
“Fellow daoist Jiang Li, since Qin Yu mentioned Heavenseek Pavilion, has our investigation into them produced any results?”

Jiang Li shook his head.
“We only made some preliminary probes.
They are very cautious so we haven’t been able to determine anything for the time being.”

Pill Crucible shouted out loud, “If I find out that they were in any way involved with my child’s accident, I will not hesitate to pay any price to completely annihilate them!”

…..

Since Qin Yu couldn’t resolve the issue of having multiple attributes, he temporarily laid the matter of the Five Element Sword Array to the side.
After organizing his thoughts, he returned to the Pill Disposal Department.
He took out a storage bag and searched it with his divine sense.
Various materials were prepared within; it seemed the preparations were basically complete.

Leaving Immortal Eclipse Valley was inevitable.
The existence of the little blue lamp was something that could never be revealed.
If it were to be found out then a catastrophe would occur.
Even if Pill Crucible didn’t have any intention of harming him, he just couldn’t take the risk.

But before he left, Qin Yu had to refine a pill.

The pill was called Heaven Mending – Nascent Soul rank.

This pill could be called a higher rank version of the pill he had given Cao Han.
Its medicinal efficacy was far more powerful.
It could heal all the secret diseases and injuries within a cultivator, restoring their mortal body to peak condition.

The Heaven Mending Pill wasn’t meant for Qin Yu.
Rather, he wanted to gift it to Daoist Wang.
Daoist Wang had passed him his lifetime’s worth of understandings, and as Qin Yu’s skills in alchemy rose, he realized more and more just how precious they were.
It was truly everything, a complete pouring of a great alchemist’s knowledge.
It had tempered Qin Yu’s alchemy foundation, allowing him to obtain the greatest advantages in the inheritance Samsara.

This was a great graciousness that he had no choice but to repay.
And, the Heaven Mending Pill was Qin Yu’s repayment.
Daoist Wang was stranded at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
With this pill helping him, he might be able to step into Nascent Soul! But now, Qin Yu’s skills were still a bit lacking.
He prepared to undergo his last enlightenment in alchemy here, and then he would begin refining the pill.

After that, it would be time to leave Immortal Eclipse Valley.
