Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

"This is Dan Fire."

That day, as soon as Li Ji'an returned to his room, he tried to condense Dan Fire again.

The moment a wisp of slightly reddish flame rose from his palm, it signified that Li Ji'an could barely be considered an "Immortal."

Because this was the first spell he had learned.

Dan Fire and Fireball Art were similar, both condensed from mana, the difference being that the former required continuous mana injection, constantly adjusting the temperature of the Dan Fire and the proportion of spiritual energy contained within, while the latter only needed to be launched.

So strictly speaking, anyone who could condense Dan Fire could cast Fireball Art, but the reverse was not necessarily true.

"Pfft~" However, before Li Ji'an could properly experience the non-human "immortal art" he had cast for the first time in his five lifetimes, the wisp of flame that was not solid to begin with extinguished.

"My mana is still too thin!" After many more attempts, it was still the same.

He was at the first level of Qi Training, and the mana in his Dantian was thin, unable to last for more than three breaths.

He was mentally prepared for this, after all, in this world, those who could fight with spells basically had to be mid-stage Qi Training cultivators.

"Alchemy is definitely out of the question, I wonder if I can launch it?" Thinking of this, Li Ji'an condensed Dan Fire again.

The difference was that this time, he no longer focused on the so-called spiritual energy content and temperature control, but instantly pulled the flame to the maximum extent he could condense.

Having understood the core logic and method of condensing Dantian mana, this spell from the same source became clear in all aspects.

"Boom~" A fireball the size of a fist instantly burst out from his palm.

"Pfft~" Unfortunately, the Dantian could no longer supply mana to launch it, and the fireball extinguished in a breath.

"It really takes an advancement to the mid-stage of Qi Training to have fighting methods… but there's no rush, I've already stepped into the mid-stage of the first level of body refinement… oh?" With a flash of inspiration, Li Ji'an smiled slightly and condensed a fireball again.

This time, the moment the fireball was condensed, the blood and Qi in his body suddenly went berserk, surging out from the palm under the fireball, and then shooting the fireball towards the wall in front of him.

"Bang!" The next moment, sparks flew everywhere, and a fist-sized hole appeared in the wall built by the market administrator, who claimed to be a late-stage Qi Training Earth-type cultivator, and could withstand a blow from a mid-stage Qi Training cultivator.

"The power is actually superimposed!" Li Ji'an was pleasantly surprised. He had tried to stimulate it with blood and Qi before, and as long as it wasn't his physical body attacking, the wall was fine.

But now, the blood and Qi stimulated the fireball, and the physical impact plus the magic explosion had such a miraculous effect.

This made Li Ji'an feel happy.

He remembered that in the sandstorm, when the two fourth-level Qi Training cultivators attacked him with Fireball Art, the speed was very slow, and his perception and movement could easily avoid it.

But for the fireballs they condensed, he was still not confident that he could withstand them head-on at the time.

And now, he could perfectly solve this problem with the blood and Qi of a first-level mid-stage body refiner, combined with the fireball condensed with mana, with both speed and power!

In this way, if he needed to attack, he wouldn't have to fight hand-to-hand.

"Content!"

Li Ji'an nodded in satisfaction.

This could be considered one of his greatest gains in the past six months.

The method of condensing Dan Fire was also sold in the market, but the condensation of Dan Fire was closely related to the formation of pills. Different condensation methods would result in different Dan Fires, and there would be differences in the amount of spiritual energy and temperature control.

Naturally, Mo Dan Shi's method of condensing Dan Fire was better.

But learning this was not easy. In the past six months, for the first three months, Mo Dan Shi only asked him to prepare in advance and clean up afterwards, and he was not allowed to enter the alchemy room to observe the alchemy process.

It was not until three months later, when Mo Dan Shi saw that Li Ji'an's temperament was calm and steady, and that he was doing things in a down-to-earth manner, without any impatience or unwillingness, as if he had really resigned himself to his fate, especially given his age, cultivation level, and spiritual roots, and judged that he could not possibly have the ambition to become an alchemist, that he allowed him to participate in the entire process.

It was during this period that he recorded a lot of fragmented information that Mo Dan Shi occasionally pointed out to Yan Qingwan and the information he used to condense Dan Fire himself.

Over time, he finally pieced together all the fragmented information today.

"Buzz~" Just then, the message talisman in his arms vibrated slightly.

Li Ji'an took it out and saw two message talismans, one of which flashed and disappeared.

"Yan Qingwan is back?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Li Ji'an held the message talisman and sensed it with his mind.

"The usual place." A familiar gentle voice came.

Li Ji'an did not delay, put away the message talisman, and went towards the noble area in the west of the market.

They had started this method of secret contact three months ago.

Before long, Li Ji'an came to the back door of a courtyard in the core spiritual vein area of the West District with ease.

Without needing to knock on the door, the meager mana in his Dantian circulated according to a specific route, the restriction was lifted, and he entered smoothly.

Then he swaggered into the main room of the second courtyard.

This was Yan Qingwan's alchemy room.

Yan Qingwan was wearing a moon-white dress, her face was peaceful, and when she saw him coming, she nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Ji'an did not waste any time, frowned hard, and pretended to recall.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Then he began to demonstrate the entire alchemy process of Mo Dan Shi today.

It is worth mentioning that three months ago, Li Ji'an deliberately pretended not to remember everything clearly, so that Yan Qingwan took the initiative to personally teach him the secret method of condensing spiritual consciousness.

Originally, he only knew that his soul was strong after four "rejuvenations", and he was not sure how strong it was, after all, the soul was invisible and intangible, it only enhanced his energy and improved his perception.

After obtaining Yan Qingwan's method of condensing spiritual consciousness, he condensed his spiritual consciousness and realized that his spiritual consciousness at the first level of Qi Training was actually stronger than Yan Qingwan's spiritual consciousness at the sixth level of Qi Training.

In the process of cultivators absorbing spiritual energy and refining mana, spiritual energy will autonomously nourish the body's blood and Qi, and temper the soul, so as to achieve the effect of synchronizing the enhancement of the body and the soul.

Under normal circumstances, if it is not a natural soul body, or if one has practiced the secret method of the soul, the souls of cultivators in the same realm are comparable, even if the secret method of condensing spiritual consciousness has advantages and disadvantages, the difference is not significant.

Li Ji'an was completely an anomaly!

Spiritual consciousness can clear the sea of consciousness, enhance memory, and also sense in a targeted manner.

Although it is not as good as the divine consciousness that evolves after foundation establishment, which covers an area and sees everything clearly, it is already very magical for Li Ji'an.

"How many pills were finally formed? What is the quality?" After the routine demonstration was completed, Yan Qingwan asked again.

"Five pills were formed, three were above average and two were below." Li Ji'an said truthfully.

"Creak!" The pear wood armrest in Yan Qingwan's hand instantly deformed, which was enough to show the anger in her heart.

Li Ji'an secretly shook his head, this could not be blamed on Yan Qingwan for losing her composure, it was really Mo Dan Shi who was not authentic.

He was clearly a first-level intermediate alchemist, able to refine intermediate-level pills, such as the batch of Spirit Gathering Pills refined today, which were very effective for the mana condensation of mid-stage Qi Training cultivators, and were also relatively scarce pills on the market.

But he found various excuses and refused to teach Yan Qingwan.

Every time, he would temporarily decide to start the furnace when Yan Qingwan had something to do and returned to the clan, without even giving Yan Qingwan a chance to observe.

Now Yan Qingwan was burdened with important responsibilities within the clan, and even gave up the second-level spiritual vein dojo in the clan to be stationed in the market for three whole years, only learning the refining of basic pills.

"Thank you for your trouble!" After Yan Qingwan calmed down, she barely squeezed out a gentle smile and still handed over a reward of two spirit stones.

This reward was not included in the promises of the pill shop, and was considered a personal reward as a young lady.

"Thank you, Miss." Li Ji'an thanked her.

It was thanks to these extra incomes in the past six months that his life had been slightly better. At least now he had to eat a meal of spiritual rice every three days, and the efficiency of refining mana had increased by at least 20%.

"Wait!" Just as he turned around and walked out of the alchemy room, Yan Qingwan suddenly stopped him again.

"Don't leave tonight…"
