Chapter 1156: Chapter 752: Tai Chi Immortal Map

On the blueprint, the Yin Yang Fish rotates, concealing the wonders of space and the mechanisms of evolution.

It is a space treasure that integrates defense, trapping enemies, and refinement.

Its core refining concept lies in the fusion of the "Yin Yang, space, and evolution" elements.

Shen Xuan pointed to the blueprint: "The foundation of this map is a small piece of Tai Chi Primordial Stone, painstakingly condensed over eight years using my own Ice and Fire Tai Chi Pill Essence. This stone bears my magical power source and serves as the foundation of the magical treasure, facilitating unobstructed power flow."

Then he pointed to several key parts: "These two array eyes, made from Sun Fire Crystal and Profound Ice Cold Crystal, are ready. These two substances are condensed from the essence of [True Sun Flame] and [Primordial True Water] within my Dantian. Additionally, Yin Yang Mica is needed to form the boundary, Universe Silk to bear, and Ten Thousand Years Cyan Milk for harmonization..."

"All other auxiliary materials are listed in the blueprint."

Shen Xuan paused slightly and confessed: "I do not currently have Yin Yang Mica, Universe Silk, Ten Thousand Years Cyan Milk and other spiritual materials in hand. I imagine the Thousand Mechanism Sect should have them in storage."

True Monarch Tian Gong smiled and said: "There’s a bit in stock."

Shen Xuan said: "With these materials prepared and refining according to this method, the initial product should be a Tier Three Top Grade Spiritual Artifact."

"Indeed."

True Monarch Tian Gong nodded and said.

This Tai Chi Immortal Map is not a real Spiritual Treasure yet.

It requires Shen Xuan to incorporate it into his Dantian and nourish it with Tai Chi Primordial Magical Power.

Only through years of effort can its grade be elevated, eventually transforming into a Spiritual Treasure.

True Monarch Tian Gong’s eyes glinted as he occasionally applauded, analyzing the refining key points.

"What a brilliant concept! Such a marvelous Lifebound Spiritual Treasure!"

With his discerning eye, he naturally saw that this treasure seamlessly matched Shen Xuan’s cultivation technique, in both form and spirit.

Given time, it would inevitably become a formidable Spiritual Treasure.

Although the materials are lavish, they are suitably applied and worth the expense.

"It imitates the ancient treasure Tai Chi Diagram’s form without insisting on the Five Elements’ completeness, only taking the union of water and fire to evolve the wonder of Yin Yang, perfectly fitting Brother Dao’s cultivation technique—truly ingenious!"

Shen Xuan asked: "Brother Dao, can you craft it?"

True Monarch Tian Gong looked at Shen Xuan, feigning anger: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, don’t underestimate this old man! Such a top-grade artifact, even if it’s a replica of an ancient masterpiece, poses no difficulty!"

The words carried the pride of a Tier Four Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

Hearing this, Shen Xuan felt relieved and smiled deeper: "With Brother Dao’s assurance, I can rest easy. For the material costs and labor for the refinement, I am willing to pay with Longevity Pills. What does Brother Dao think of this offer?"

"Agreed."

True Monarch Tian Gong readily agreed, extending his hand with five fingers: "Five pills."

"Deal." Shen Xuan agreed without haggling.

True Monarch Tian Gong put away the jade box, along with the Tai Chi Primordial Stone, Sun Fire Crystal, Profound Ice Cold Crystal, and other core materials Shen Xuan had prepared, all into his Storage Pouch.

The two had been acquainted for many years, and due to interests tied deeply in matters like the deep-sea Spirit Vein and new-type puppets, they were closely allied.

For True Monarch Tian Gong, crafting this Lifebound Spiritual Treasure for Shen Xuan was not a burden, but rather a pleasure.

Moreover, Shen Xuan was not stingy towards him.

Five Longevity Pills, each capable of extending the lifespan of a Golden Core True Master by more than a decade, were incredibly valuable.

True Monarch Tian Gong promised that once the deep-sea Spirit Vein was connected, he would refine the Tai Chi Immortal Map for Shen Xuan.

This matter cannot be rushed; the refinement requires two to three years.

Shen Xuan also needed time to refine the Longevity Pills.

He had one batch of materials for the Longevity Pill in hand.

The Medicine God Valley should have several batches.

...

A few days later, Shen Xuan sent a message to summon the pill masters stationed on the island by the Medicine God Valley.

Instructing them to pass a message to Sect Leader True Master Yao Chen.

To make every effort to gather Longevity Pill materials.

He was willing to purchase them at a high price.

Either paying with Spirit Stones or with Longevity Pills.

To show sincerity, during the refinement of the Longevity Pill, Shen Xuan was willing to teach a pill master from the Medicine God Valley.

The requirement was a stable personality, reliable identity, and a Fire Attribute in the Golden Core Realm.

The message was relayed back, and True Master Yao Chen was overjoyed.

The Longevity Pill is a Tier Three Life-Extending Spirit Pill.

Although he could refine it, the pill success rate was not high.

Soon, True Master Yao Chen personally led someone to visit Starlight Island’s Cold Ice Cave.

The person brought was a young cultivator.

His appearance was delicate, his demeanor gentle, and his gaze calm.

This person was Medicine God Valley’s new generation prodigy, True Master Bao Yuan.

True Master Yao Chen introduced, True Master Bao Yuan established Foundation at thirty-six and formed Core at ninety-seven.

Now just over a hundred years old, his alchemy talent was outstanding, and his heart nature was excellent.

Obviously, he was a key figure the Medicine God Valley had invested in.

A hot candidate for the next Sect Leader.

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s personal impartation of the Longevity Pill’s refining method, True Master Bao Yuan immediately faced Shen Xuan, pushing mountains of gold and toppling towers of jade, solemnly performing a disciple’s ritual of gratitude.

"Junior Bao Yuan, thanks senior for the grace of passing down teachings! This kindness and virtue, unforgettable in my lifetime!"

Shen Xuan calmly received it, and helped him rise gently.

In truth, he had his own considerations.

Refining the Longevity Pill takes considerable time and requires a reliable person to watch the fire in the pill cauldron.

Li Ruyi, his close friend, was the most suitable choice.

However, as the dean of the Alchemy Branch, she couldn’t possibly remain in the Alchemy Room all the time.

This time teaching True Master Bao Yuan was both a favor to Medicine God Valley and a necessity for a reliable pill master to assist.

Of course, Li Ruyi would also be present during the alchemy process to learn.

To Shen Xuan, teaching one person was the same as teaching two.

Li Ruyi was his life-and-death acquaintance and trusted right-hand, deserving full instruction without reservation.

And True Master Bao Yuan, as a prodigy of Medicine God Valley, with this teaching favor.

Having this bond of camaraderie would greatly ease future collaboration.

The Longevity Pill materials provided by Medicine God Valley were likely sourced from Danxia Sect in Yan Country.

However, this is inconsequential.

In the face of benefits, a few personal grievances matter to none.

...

Half a year later, on Starlight Island.

At dawn, in the central square of five Immortal Cities, people gradually gathered.
