Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 994: Chapter 699: Great Increase in Strength! Chapter 994: Chapter 699: Great Increase in Strength! The power of the life-bound Artifacts will also become increasingly stable after it has absorbed enough spirit Qi.

As for the subsequent power growth that occurs once the life-bound Artifacts are brought back into the Elixir Field for nurturing,

that belongs to matters of the future.

And now,

what He Song faced was the final step in the refinement of the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.

In this step, He Song needed to do nothing at all.

He simply had to let the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl absorb the surrounding spirit Qi to replenish itself.

Once the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl stopped absorbing the spirit Qi from its surroundings, its refinement would be complete.

After that, He Song only needed to successfully refine the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl to fully control this life-bound Magical Treasure.

As time passed,

He Song stood beside the Earth Fire Array.

His gaze was fixed unwaveringly on the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl before him, which was absorbing the surrounding spirit Qi.

Thus, until finally, the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl ceased its behavior of absorbing spirit Qi and became completely tranquil.

It was then that He Song burst into laughter, holding the small sphere, which appeared somewhat bloodstained on the outside but was golden and translucent within, firmly in his hand.

From then on, the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl was thoroughly refined.

After taking the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl into his hand, He Song’s gaze swept over it.

The Earth Vein Spirit Pearl was a bright golden hue throughout, and He Song could even see the scenery behind the pearl through it.

However, within the bright golden hue, there were also faint traces of bloodstains.

This gave the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl an overall touch of mystique.

Upon closer inspection, He Song could even make out the dense and intricate patterns within the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.

These patterns, almost transparent, were nonetheless clearly visible to a Gold Core Cultivator like He Song with his exceptional Eyesight.

And when these intricate patterns appeared before He Song’s eyes,

he developed a hint of curiosity about the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl before him.

Before this,

while refining the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl, He Song continuously cast Secret Techniques and mana formulas into the interior of the pearl and the auxiliary materials infused within.

At that time, He Song had a vague sense that these mana formulas would undoubtedly form numerous patterns inside the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.

However, he did not expect

that when he successfully refined the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl, the interior would form such mystical patterns.

Even for He Song, who had seen many mystical patterns during artifact refinement, these were especially profound.

One should know, He Song was an artifact refining master who had long been capable of successfully refining Middle Grade Spiritual Devices.

He had seen many mysterious patterns arise during artifacts refinement.

Yet the mystical patterns displayed on the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl now sparked in him a sense of fascination.

This indicated just how extraordinary the patterns within the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl were.

After carefully observing the intricate patterns within the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl,

He Song pondered briefly and eventually came to a conclusion.

The appearance of these patterns and the essence blood used in the pearl’s refinement seemed to be the fundamental reasons why the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl could become a cultivator’s life-bound Magical Treasure.

Perhaps, it was also these patterns that allowed the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl to grow stronger over time with the cultivator’s nurturing.

After reaching this conclusion in his mind, He Song lost any remaining interest in further investigating the matter.

The method for refining the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl was already etched in his memory.

It would not be a big deal to delve into it for further study later.

But now,

the most important matter at hand

was to first successfully refine the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl and let it truly become his own life-bound Magical Treasure; that was the Righteous Tao.

Thinking this, He Song did not hesitate and in the blink of an eye left the side of the Earth Fire Array and entered the Quiet Room within his cave mansion.

Inside the cave mansion,

within the Quiet Room,

He Song sat cross-legged, the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl quietly floating before him.

It wasn’t until a certain moment, when He Song felt his mind had become completely tranquil and his state had been adjusted to its best,

that he let out a slight breath and took the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl into his hands.

As mana coursed through He Song’s body, streams of mana rapidly surged from his Golden Elixir, gradually entering the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.

Since the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl was personally refined by He Song,

and contained his own essence blood,

it was in harmony with his will.

Therefore, it was much easier to refine than other Magical Treasures and spirit artifacts.

It did not take He Song much time.

In just a few short months, He Song successfully completed the full refinement of the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl, integrating it into his Elixir Field for nurturing.

The Earth Vein Spirit Pearl, now within He Song’s Elixir Field, received his mana’s nurturing day and night,

and its power would continuously grow stronger as time passed.

Thus,

several months later, once He Song had fully refined the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl,

he emerged from his seclusive cultivation.

However, since the refinement of the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl and its integration only took He Song a few short months,

and even considering the years it took to refine the Eight Treasures Breakthrough Pill and to consume it for a successful breakthrough to the Later Stage of Golden Elixir,

to outsiders, it seemed as if He Song had just been in seclusive cultivation for a little over five years.

And with He Song’s current status within the Golden Core Realm,
