Chapter 474: Pill Control Technique
“This is…”
While Su Jingzhen stood in a daze, Bai Suzhen at his waist did not offer any guidance.
She merely muttered to herself, “This guy really does have great fortune. He actually managed to summon a star.
Judging by its dimness, the star must have existed for an incredibly long time.
If more time had passed, this star might have completely vanished from the sky.
If this is an ancient inheritance, I wonder what he will gain from it.”
As Bai Suzhen’s voice faded, the starry sky returned to silence.
Su Jingzhen’s body gradually assumed a seated position, ready to receive the blessing that had come his way.At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness transformed into a spiritual entity.
He watched as the unique energy that had entered his Sea of Consciousness earlier began to evolve into a massive pill furnace.
Fuzzy hands took various medicinal ingredients and demonstrated the process above the pill furnace.
From these actions, Su Jingzhen sensed a familiar aura. It was the very same aura he instinctively felt whenever he activated the Dan Heart during alchemy.
“A successor of Control Dan Heart, watch how Control Dan Heart is used.
My ultimate secret: the Pill Control Technique!”
An ancient voice suddenly echoed within his Sea of Consciousness, causing Su Jingzhen’s scalp to tingle.
This level of power was something his current divine consciousness, in the Condensing Divine Consciousness stage, could not resist.
If this presence had malicious intent, it could easily shatter his Sea of Consciousness.
For cultivators, the Sea of Consciousness was an Upper Dantian.
Although in this environment, most cultivators rarely used it, its importance was nearly equal to the Lower Dantian.
If it were to be destroyed, the consequences could be even more severe than the destruction of the Qi Sea in the Lower Dantian, potentially resulting in anything from insanity to death.
“Luckily, it’s just an inheritance,” Su Jingzhen murmured to himself.
He then focused all his attention on the illusory pill furnace and the phantom hands.
The medicinal ingredients, though also illusory, were of little importance. What mattered were the techniques being demonstrated and the unparalleled control exhibited in every movement.
Su Jingzhen’s Control Dan Heart, as well as Xuening’s Pure Dan Heart, were only in the initial stages.
It hadn’t fully coalesced yet, but Su Jingzhen’s heart was brimming with excitement.
He closely observed the movements of the illusory hands, feeling the aura emanating from them.
A strong premonition arose within him—if he could grasp this opportunity, he might be able to fully condense his Dan Heart in one smooth effort. If that happened, his alchemy skills would likely ascend to new heights.
Su Jingzhen didn’t expect to gain other inheritances or fortunes within the Dantai ruins.
After all, the Dantai clan was primarily known for their expertise in alchemy. Therefore, the best inheritance to be found here would naturally be related to alchemy.
As time passed, Su Jingzhen’s body gradually settled into a seated position. His divine consciousness slowly condensed into the shape of a pill furnace.
Unconsciously, his hands began to mimic the movements of the illusory hands before him. The aura of Control Dan Heart reappeared, and a sense of mastery instinctively infused his actions.
As Su Jingzhen continued to follow the motions of those phantom hands, the sense of control that initially resided only within his Sea of Consciousness seemed to spread throughout his entire body.
The aura of absolute control was inherently domineering, and the moment it permeated his being, Bai Suzhen coiled at his waist, suddenly transformed into her true form—a massive white python.
Her sapphire-blue eyes flashed with shock and uncertainty.
“What is this? According to what I know, each star of the Dantai clan represents a different inheritance, all related to alchemy. But this overwhelming aura of dominance—what is it?”
Though the aura that Su Jingzhen currently exuded appeared faint to Bai Suzhen, it was undeniably of a very high level.
Having seen much in her time, Bai Suzhen blinked her large eyes before realization dawned on her.
“Is this the legendary Control Dan Heart? But why do I feel that if he successfully condenses this Dan Heart, it won’t just be useful in alchemy?”
As she muttered to herself, a serious expression crossed Bai Suzhen’s face, mixed with unparalleled anticipation.
Although her relationship with Su Jingzhen was still in the early stages of cooperation, she was fully aware that it was Su Jingzhen who had awakened her.
To some extent, Su Jingzhen was Bai Suzhen’s benefactor in her rebirth.
From the moment she came back to life through his blood, their fates were inextricably linked.
The stronger Su Jingzhen became, the happier she was. After all, there were many things she would need Su Jingzhen’s help with in the future.
As she thought this, a gentle yet immense energy suddenly surged from Bai Suzhen, enveloping Su Jingzhen and maintaining him in his optimal state.
At that moment, as Bai Suzhen’s aura swelled and released this energy, thousands of stars in the ancient sky above suddenly began to shine brightly.
Had Su Jingzhen not been deeply immersed in comprehending the Dan Heart, he would have clearly sensed the almost human-like excitement radiating from those stars.
Each star seemed eager to condense its starlight beam and direct it towards Bai Suzhen, competing to bestow its inheritance upon her.
However, a flicker of disdain flashed in Bai Suzhen’s sapphire-blue eyes.
Her snow-white scales shimmered with white light, forming an oval-shaped barrier that enveloped both her and Su Jingzhen, keeping the beams of light at bay.
“I knew that revealing my true form would cause a commotion here, but these things are of no use to me. It would be better to wait until this guy wakes up and let him collect them all,” she mused.
If Su Jingzhen knew that Bai Suzhen had refrained from revealing her true form for this reason, he would likely be shocked beyond belief.
After all, he had spent so much effort just to attract the attention of the dimmest star. Yet, Bai Suzhen had done nothing more than unintentionally release a bit of her aura, causing all the stars in the sky to compete for her favor.
The contrast was indeed stark, though fortunately, Su Jingzhen remained blissfully unaware of it all.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly cling even more tightly to Bai Suzhen, recognizing her as an invaluable ally.
The starlight beams collided with the barrier that Bai Suzhen had formed, only to be instantly deflected back.
