With a bug-like Pill Condensation Technique in hand, refining spirit medicines into pills was ridiculously easy for Ian Song.
So, Ian stayed inside the Divine Temple for a few more days, refining all the immortal medicines he'd looted into Immortal Pills.
To awaken the power of his Pangu Bloodline as soon as possible and gain its inherited cultivation technique, Ian decided to advance to the Golden Immortal realm at the fastest speed.
This time, he refined more than three thousand pills in total.
He only needed a small portion himself; the rest he just tossed to his women in one go.
He casually tossed an Immortal Yuan Pill into his mouth; as soon as it hit his stomach, it turned into pure medicinal power, which he could instantly convert into immortal yuan with a simple circulation of his cultivation technique.
Immortal Yuan Pills are the most common pills in the Immortal World.
A low-grade Immortal Yuan Pill costs five immortal stones, mid-grade costs ten, high-grade fifty, and top-grade two hundred.
The poorer immortals have to absorb immortal essence from the world to cultivate.
Those with a bit more wealth use immortal stones for cultivation.
As for those big sects and major powers, they can use pills and immortal stones together for cultivation.
Of the three main cultivation methods, taking pills is the fastest, followed by using immortal stones, and the slowest is absorbing immortal essence from the world.
Take a typical late-stage Human Immortal for example: it takes three days to absorb and refine the immortal essence from a single immortal stone.
But with an Immortal Yuan Pill, it only takes an hour to refine the pill's essence—which is way stronger than what you get from a single immortal stone.
It saves dozens of hours for free, and the effect is even better.
With a divine body and the Pangu Bloodline fused, Ian's absorption rate was insane. For the top-grade Immortal Yuan Pills he refined, a normal late-stage Human Immortal would need at least two hours to absorb one.
But he only needed ten breaths.
"Not bad!"
Feeling his immortal yuan increase a bit, Ian nodded to himself and popped two more Immortal Yuan Pills into his mouth.
He wasn't worried about the medicinal power blowing up his body—his flesh was tougher than a Golden Immortal's anyway.
Gradually, Ian stopped being satisfied with two pills at a time. He just dumped a whole bottle of a hundred Immortal Yuan Pills into his mouth. As the surging medicinal power spread out, he felt his body swell up a size.
"Refine!"
But he wasn’t worried at all. He sped up his body’s refining process, and in just half a quarter-hour, he’d absorbed all the power from a hundred pills. If other Human Immortals saw him cultivating like this, they’d probably be so jealous they’d want to bash their heads against a wall.
After swallowing over a hundred top-grade Immortal Yuan Pills, Ian felt his immortal yuan inside had reached its peak.
If he didn’t break through, he wouldn’t be able to absorb any more immortal yuan.
With a thought, he activated his cultivation technique. There was a booming sound inside, and Ian felt his immortal soul suddenly clear—he’d broken through to the early Earth Immortal realm.
The Pangu Bloodline is the strongest bloodline in the universe.
And since Pangu opened the heavens, he’s favored by heaven and earth. For Ian, who carries the Pangu Bloodline, cultivating is like having a cheat code—he doesn’t need to comprehend the laws or polish his realm. As long as his energy is enough, he can break through effortlessly.
He stayed in the Divine Temple for a few more months to stabilize his cultivation, then left.
He’d trained inside the Divine Temple for months, but only a few hours had passed outside.
The effect of the Origin-Sealing Seal hadn’t faded yet.
Ian didn’t care and headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.
Victor Tu’s Storage Ring was packed with immortal stones and rare Immortal Medicines, but the City Lord’s Mansion’s Treasure Vault should have even better stuff.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, Ian swaggered right up to the City Lord’s Mansion, sent the guards flying, and strolled up to the Treasure Vault. He broke the outer formation with ease and walked right in.
The vault mostly held armor, weapons, and some low-grade Immortal Medicines.
Ian didn’t stand on ceremony and swept everything into the Divine Temple.
He wandered around the mansion, found several Immortal Medicine gardens, and—never one for politeness—moved the gardens into his Divine Temple worlds. He’d captured plenty of immortals earlier, so they could look after the gardens.
After looting the City Lord’s Mansion like it was empty, Ian suddenly felt lost. Where should I go next?
The System hadn’t issued a third mission yet, so he had no idea what he was supposed to do.
