Chapter 4, The Path of Refining the Heart

It is only a little more than one realm higher than him; thinking this way, it is indeed true that the other party has cultivated very quickly

Truly deserving of the title of a once-in-a-millennium genius

Has Brother Liang really emerged from seclusion

Over the past year, he has signed in at the ancestral hall the most times. Although he has gained a lot, he has also grown somewhat weary of it.

However, if one can overcome it, the benefits are numerous

But then he/she regained his/her spirits

One must at least be an outer sect elder at the Nascent Soul stage, and among the best of them, to dare to make a feeble attempt; otherwise, it would only be self-humiliation

In front of the mountain peak, there stood quite a number of disciples from our sect, whispering among themselves

Subsequently, the discussions of the crowd began to reach my ears

Before long, they arrived at the back mountain of the Huayu Sect

Liang Xiaotian

This path of refining the heart has quite a history. It is said that over ten thousand years ago, a senior ancestor of our sect accidentally discovered an ancient cultivation relic, which is rumored to have a slight connection to the primordial chaos

Of course, there are also some important places, such as the Sanqing Hall, where one can only check in once.

He does not care at all for the celestial treasure before him

Having contemplated the intricate and convoluted origins of this *picture* book, Lin Xiaoyao stood silently among the crowd

Thus, I went out to explore the mountains and rivers of the Huayu Sect. Although I have traversed most of them, there are still a few forbidden areas that I have yet to visit. Today, on a whim, I decided to take a stroll in one of them.

After cleaning the ancestral hall, Lin Xiaoyao went out for a walk

Although this place is not the restricted area of our sect, it is also not a place where ordinary disciples may tread

Knowing full well that the road ahead is arduous, he will never give up on himself. In any case, he will not easily venture outside until he possesses a cultivation level that matches that of a sage.

However, the other party's attempt to venture into the Heart Refinement Path is somewhat overconfident

... ...

This elixir is a renowned item in the realm of immortality. It is said that if a Qi-refining practitioner consumes a single grain, they can cleanse their marrow and bones, directly advancing to the Nascent Soul stage

Without mentioning anything else, with a solid foundation and profound skills, even without mastering the three thousand great paths and the endless laws, cultivators of the same rank before him are like mere ants

It can refine the mind and elevate the state of consciousness

With such a pace of cultivation, it will take at least ten more years to achieve immortality, and this is an estimate on the conservative side

Unexpectedly, he formed the Golden Elixir in just 30 years, while I spent over a year only to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

If possible, what can one obtain after signing in?

Although this sect does not prohibit disciples from coming here, everyone is aware of the dangers of the path of refining the heart, and they would never dare to recklessly attempt it.

The situation is similar for many elixirs.

As for the desire to restore one's cultivation to match that of a saintly fruit position, it is indeed a distant and uncertain prospect

Brother Liang

The second day

Who says otherwise? It is said that even the sect leader speaks highly of him, and several elders are vying to take him as their disciple to pass on their legacy. It is rumored that they almost came to blows over it

Of course, it is not entirely without gain; every now and then, I am still able to sign in and obtain useful items.

Lin Xiaoyao left the place leisurely, lost in her own thoughts

Unlike the surrounding mountains, the one before me is not only steeper and taller, but also features rugged rocks and sparse vegetation, giving it a somewhat desolate appearance, which is in stark contrast to the lush greenery of the nearby ranges

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment and remarked: "To form a golden elixir after thirty years is indeed a model for our generation. I entered the field a bit later, but it has also been twenty years since then. Not to mention forming a golden elixir, I am still far from establishing a foundation."

The mountains here stretch and undulate, winding and twisting, extending all the way to the distant horizon.

Mild cases may result in significant depletion of vitality, while more severe instances could even lead to a state of obsession or madness

Cultivating immortality is truly difficult

There may be unexpected gains

Lin Xiaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly and quickly thought of someone.

Hmph, the path of immortality is arduous, how can we compare ourselves to Senior Brother Liang? I heard that he is coming to challenge the Heart Refining Path this time, but I wonder if it is true

In addition to the ancestral hall, places such as Yujian Peak, the Library Pavilion, the Spiritual Herb Garden, and Baodan Valley are all locations where multiple sign-ins are permitted

Hmph, do you think I can be deceived? It is said that he just emerged from seclusion yesterday

The treasures that others yearn for are, to him, hardly more precious than a stone. Even though his cultivation is still low, possessing the status of a sage, how could he possibly regard ordinary rare treasures with any significance?

The entry is earlier than oneself

He fell into a state of melancholy and lamentation

It seems that the difficulty has increased significantly, but in reality, this is the treatment that a sage should receive, extraordinary and unparalleled, how can it be compared to that of ordinary people

He originally came here because the Refining Heart Path is considered an important location of this sect, so he wanted to see if he could sign in here

For instance, he once signed for a Celestial Essence Pill in Baodan Valley

This elixir does not merely enjoy a hollow reputation; it is produced by the system, and its quality is undoubtedly beyond question. However, for one who possesses the fruit position of a sage, the amount of mana required for each level of advancement is entirely on a different scale compared to the cultivation required for the same level of practitioners.

This individual is a genius who is praised by many prominent figures in our field

As the divine consciousness swept across, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Lin Xiaoyao's face

Eh?

Senior Brother Liang is truly remarkable. Having joined our sect for only thirty years, he has already formed his Golden Elixir, making him a rare talent that appears once in a millennium

Hiss ... ...

Although the consumption of magical power is greater and the challenges in enhancement are more significant, in reality, the benefits will only be greater.

In the journey of refining the heart, there are endless illusions, with mountains of knives and seas of fire, as well as the beauty of wind, flowers, snow, and the moon. If one's mind is even slightly unsteady, one may become lost within them

Lin Xiaoyao sighed, feeling very dissatisfied.

The harvest has indeed been quite abundant, with numerous miraculous remedies and rare treasures received.

Among their disciples in this generation, there are actually individuals who dare to venture into the Heart Refinement Path, which is an unprecedented occurrence in the past thirty years

Among them, cultivation is the most useful

Although this place is not the main restricted area, it is quite remote, and very few people come here on a regular basis. The scene before me is indeed strange

However, after Lin Xiaoyao consumed it, although she felt a surge of vibrant spiritual energy, her cultivation only increased by a small fraction in the end

Lin Xiaoyao also felt a sense of emotion

This cannot be false; had the information not been reliable, we would not have come here eagerly to witness the spectacle.

After walking for a while, Lin Xiaoyao arrived at a very large and steep mountain peak

Secondly, there are some relics that can enhance magical power

No wonder so many people are gathered here to watch the excitement

Any item casually taken out and placed in the realm of cultivation would attract the covetous eyes of countless cultivators, leading to a bloody storm. However, for Lin Xiaoyao, most of these items are rather useless.

Sigh, after a year, I have only reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul; this rate of advancement is rather slow

Fortunately, this Huayu Sect is indeed a paradise for him
