I Come to Teach You Cultivation - Chapter 347 - 30: Body Undying, Immortal Life (3/3)
"I don’t know either..."
Looking slightly bewildered, the Golden Horn spoke the truth as he shook his head.
Though he had long known from Bahu about the stubborn vitality of this "living corpse."
However, no matter what, Golden Horn never expected that the vitality of this "living corpse" was so tenacious that even the always effective Golden Gourd couldn’t refine it.
One must know that this Golden Gourd, as Golden Horn’s innate embryonic membrane, inherently possessed a powerful innate attribute.
When Li Boyang decided to refine it into a magical treasure.
He didn’t weaken this innate attribute; instead, he adopted an entirely new refining method—[Sacrificial Refining and Nurturing Method].
Not through the traditional artifact refining method, adding various heavenly and earthly treasures to finally form it all at once. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The [Sacrificial Refining and Nurturing Method] treats the magical treasure as a seed not yet sprouted.
Allowing the holder to continuously invest materials and nourish the magical treasure with their own primordial qi, giving it growth potential far beyond ordinary magical treasures.
In this process, depending on the subsequent qi and materials invested, the magical treasure will unlock various abilities.
The [Sword-Hiding Silver Gourd] held by Silver Horn can nurture various types of sword qi, renowned as the foremost divine artifact of slaughter.
The Golden Gourd held by Golden Horn is different; it primarily focuses on defense and refining techniques.
Conventional means can hardly shatter this Golden Gourd.
And anything absorbed by it will be refined, extracting its purest essence.
——Using the essence of all things to refine pills.
This is the correct use and opening method of the Golden Gourd, also the embodiment of Golden Horn’s inherent nature.
"Eating too much of anything can cause indigestion."
At this moment, Li Boyang appeared in the forest alongside Silver Horn.
"Your gourd is still in the growth phase, suddenly consuming an unprecedented big guy, naturally it would also experience indigestion."
Walking with a smile to stand beside Golden Horn and Nvman, Li Boyang reached out to touch the Golden Gourd.
Instantly, the vermilion blood circulating on the Golden Gourd immediately dissipated.
But the Golden Gourd itself was also affected, faintly emitting an ominous blood-red hue.
"Master?"
"Prophet?"
They simultaneously turned to look at Li Boyang.
Golden Horn and Nvman’s expressions differed, yet shared a similar sense of reassurance.
As if, with Li Boyang present, any difficulty could be easily resolved.
"He who tied the bell must untie it."
Simply by holding the Golden Gourd, Li Boyang understood.
The vitality within the Golden Gourd wasn’t particularly strong, but it was quite strange and persistent.
Even though Long Jikui’s corpse had long been refined.
The vitality continued unabated, struggling with a spiritual-like intent to escape the Golden Gourd.
Frankly, even the well-informed Li Boyang was witnessing such tenacious undying vitality for the first time.
What was even more crucial, Li Boyang seemed to glimpse his hope for breakthrough from this strand of "undying vitality."
As of today, Li Boyang’s physical body was almost fully matured, only a step away from reaching the most perfect "Golden Core Realm."
However, the closer to the realm of great perfection, the more Li Boyang sensed he was still lacking something.
Thousand Transformations? Vajra Indestructible? Leakless Body?
Li Boyang’s [Omen Divine Power] told him—these were the limits of ordinary people, but not his limits.
His physical body could still progress further, even achieving true immortality and indestructibility.
The original hesitation, about waiting for that elusive premonition, weighed on Li Boyang’s mind.
After all, a test score of a hundred is already perfect.
No need to expend so much effort for an extra point.
Until encountering the undying vitality within the Golden Gourd, Li Boyang understood that elusive opportunity had now presented itself.
Moreover, Li Boyang had an intuition that this might be the key to resolving the conflict between Kunwu and Xiluo.
"An indestructible body, eternal life?"
As Li Boyang murmured.
The one-person-tall gourd abruptly ceased trembling and rapidly shrank at a visible speed.
By the time Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and Nvman realized.
The Golden Gourd had already shrunk to palm size, quietly lying in Li Boyang’s hand.
"Master?"
Tilting his head in confusion, Silver Horn’s voice snapped Li Boyang out of his deep thoughts.
Noticing their puzzled gazes, Li Boyang explained with a smile.
"The contents of this gourd remind me of a certain person..."
"A legendary Divine Witch who lived over two thousand years after consuming the ’Elixir of Immortality.’"
With Li Boyang’s reminder, Golden Horn immediately reacted, recalling Bahu’s speculation about Long Jikui’s immortality.
"Immortal Grass? The legend of Immortal Grass is true?"
...........................
"I truly didn’t expect you were still alive..."
"No wonder the Horror God Corpse behaved so unusually; it lacked the key ingredient!"
Appearing silently in the village where Bahu resided, Wu Peng, one of the Enlightened Six Witches, sighed.
When the five other members of the Enlightened Six Witches wanted to give up on Long Jikui, planning to use the [Undying Tripod] to refine another [Horror God Corpse], Wu Peng, proficient in healing and pharmaceuticals, pondered why their elixir of immortality failed this time.
Without understanding this point, no matter how many attempts they repeated, Wu Peng didn’t believe they could succeed.
Thus, Wu Peng ultimately decided to secretly act alone, away from his five siblings and visit the Hundred Lands Group, where Long Jikui might be hiding.
It’s worth mentioning here.
As the leader of the Enlightened Six Witches, and also one of the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches, Wu Peng’s abilities and witchcraft skills are unquestionable.
Moreover, neither Golden Horn nor Bahu realized there was a hidden manipulator behind the "Long Jikui Incident."
So they never expected anyone to follow the trail they left behind.
Under such circumstances, Wu Peng easily found the secluded village of Bahu and discovered that the other party was initially one of the materials used for alchemy.
"An innate divine plant, also practicing the Celestial Human Technique..."
"At the time, I lamented that using you as a side ingredient for the ’Elixir of Immortality’ seemed like such a waste."
"But now it seems you are the key to crafting the ’Elixir of Immortality’!"
Wu Peng admitted that he had overlooked this.
However, the method of crafting the "Elixir of Immortality" by the Enlightened Six Witches was very strange, and it would be bizarre if nothing went wrong.
In comparison, merely having an "supplement" survive and then come back to life through the [Horror God Corpse].
To Wu Peng, it was the smallest surprise; he wasn’t even sure if there were other surprises.
"Fortunately, there’s still a chance to rectify this..."
"As long as you are reunited with the ’Horror God Corpse,’ there should still be an opportunity to craft the genuine ’Elixir of Immortality.’"
