Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Taiyi Elixir (Part 2)

Taiyi Elixir?

Lin Tian tilted his head and thought for a long time, unable to figure out what this thing was. In the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, there were many records of elixirs, but Lin Tian couldn’t recall what Taiyi Elixir was. Just by hearing the name, he knew it wasn’t simple.

"Master, what is Taiyi Elixir? Stop keeping me in suspense," Lin Tian couldn’t resist his curiosity and urged.

Yu Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard Lin Tian’s question and instead asked, "Do you know the Investiture of the Gods?"

Lin Tian was stunned. He didn’t understand why this question was being asked. But soon, he reacted, realizing that in the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha’s master was called Taiyi Zhenren. Could it be... that there was some connection to the Taiyi Elixir? That would be too ridiculous, wouldn’t it? After all, it was just a mythical story.

"Yes!" Lin Tian almost answered without thinking.

"In the story of the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha pulled out the dragon veins of the third prince of the Dragon King, which angered the Dragon King, who wanted to flood Chentang Pass. To appease the Dragon King, Nezha cut his bones to give back to his father and cut his flesh to give back to his mother. His parents called his name continuously to prevent his soul from dispersing, and finally, Taiyi Zhenren used lotus and lotus roots to form his bones, bringing him back to life."

Lin Tian still didn’t understand why Master was telling this story. Finally, with wide eyes and somewhat dazed, he asked, "Could it be... Master, you..."

"Yes, this Taiyi Elixir can allow me to be reborn; it just requires finding a suitable body," Yu Yang said, unable to suppress his excitement.

"That’s great! But how did you recognize this as a Taiyi Elixir?"

"I died a thousand years ago. Heaven allowed me to survive, not letting my soul scatter. What do you think I’ve been doing for a thousand years? I’ve been looking for a way to rebuild my physical body. I’ve come across countless unorthodox methods in this time, but they were all illusions, nothing could be proven."

"The Taiyi Elixir is not just folklore. The reason it’s called Taiyi Elixir is that it borrows from the story between Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha. A thousand years ago, Taiyi Elixir already existed, a pill only those in the Grotto Heaven Realm could refine, but it was very scarce even back then. Let alone now? I searched for a thousand years, going in circles, and unexpectedly, at the brink of soul death and the end of the path, I actually saw the Taiyi Elixir!"

Yu Yang was very excited. If he were sitting in front of Lin Tian now, he would surely be weeping in tears, with tears streaming down his face from excitement.

Lin Tian could very clearly feel his emotions, sincerely happy for him. Even though there was only this one Taiyi Elixir, wasn’t there still hope? This was the only glimmer of light Yu Yang had seen in a thousand years.

"Master, what other materials are needed to rebuild your body? You tell me! Even if it costs my life, I will get them for you!" Lin Tian said through gritted teeth.

Yu Yang could also feel Lin Tian’s emotions and smiled, "Forget it."

"Why forget it? It’s hard-earned hope!"

"Hehe," Yu Yang’s mood fell again. He smiled and said, "When I saw this thing just now, I remembered my obsession. How easy is it to rebuild a body? Do you think a single Taiyi Elixir is enough? The materials needed are indeed rare in this world, hard to find but impossible to seek. I don’t have such luck, so just forget it..."

Yu Yang appeared extremely carefree. He laughed and said, "This Taiyi Elixir eventually can’t be wasted. In a few days, I want to make body-refining medicine with materials such as Snake Gall and bull horn. At that time, take the Taiyi Elixir, and your strength will soar tremendously. In the legend, Luban’s lock supposedly hides the Elixir of Immortality. From a certain perspective, that’s not entirely inaccurate. If taken properly, it can indeed extend lifespan by several hundred years. If its effects weren’t overwhelmingly potent, why would only Grotto Heaven Realm experts be able to refine it?"

If these words were spread outside and reached others’ ears, they’d fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it, especially the Wang Family.

To increase lifespan by several hundred years! Once given to the most powerful person in the family, they could protect the family for centuries—it’s the greatest temptation!

However... Lin Tian listened without any reaction. He closed the redwood box and smiled at it, showing no intention of taking it.

"As I said, you needn’t reserve it for me."

Yu Yang understood Lin Tian’s intention. Even if the hope was faint, wasn’t it still hope? Right now, this Taiyi Elixir carries enormous significance for Yu Yang. Even if just placed there, it symbolizes a glimmer of light, a piece of hope. If Lin Tian were to consume it, he would be neither loyal nor filial, so there wasn’t a trace of greed.

"You really don’t need to keep it for me; it is a crucial element for you to break through to the Grotto Heaven Realm. Think about it, if you consume it, you can achieve Grotto Heaven sooner, and then you can refine the Taiyi Elixir. As you just saw, the Taiyi Elixir in that box, full of pits and holes—not to mention Pill Pattern or Pill Aura—the quality is just too low. Do you think such a shabby thing can help me rebuild my body?"

These words made Lin Tian’s eyes light up, contemplating but unable to find any faults in it.

Indeed, as long as he reaches the Grotto Heaven Realm, getting a Taiyi Elixir wouldn’t be difficult, and its quality would be much higher than this one.

But...

"Master, don’t fool me. Do you know how to refine Taiyi Elixir?" Lin Tian asked cautiously.

"Nonsense, if I knew, I’d have refined it long ago."

"..." Lin Tian was so angry he rolled his eyes. So what’s the point of saying all that earlier?

Yu Yang continued, "The process of refining the Taiyi Elixir is indeed too complicated. I didn’t intend to refine it back then, so it’s normal to not remember. But I am sure there are such things in the Yv Family!"

"The Yv Family..."

Lin Tian rarely heard his master mention his own family, but every time he did, Lin Tian could sketch a grand and magnificent picture in his mind. The Yv Family is definitely not simple!

"Previously, the hosts I borrowed were all too lacking in talent, and even with the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, they could only cultivate to the Early Stage Golden Core. With their strength, there was simply no need to seek out the Yv Family. But you’re different. You’re my most accomplished direct disciple. With your talent, reaching Grotto Heaven is not difficult. By then, you’ll have the qualifications to seek the Yv Family. Otherwise, what’s the point of being my disciple if you haven’t even achieved Grotto Heaven?"

Yu Yang was a strict teacher, never praising Lin Tian, always adhering to the principle of strict teachers producing outstanding students. Lin Tian knew he was good to him; he just never said so.

Perhaps seeing a glimmer of hope today, his mood was good, and he uncharacteristically praised Lin Tian like a blooming flower.

After gritting his teeth, Lin Tian finally said, "Alright, then I’ll listen to you, Master. I will take this Taiyi Elixir."

"Haha, that’s more like it. However, taking this Taiyi Elixir is very particular, but you just need to follow what I say, and everything will be fine," Yu Yang said with a smile.
