Chapter 1528: Reverse Heart Method

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Reverse Heart Method

After a brief respite, Lin Tian returned to his busy state once more.

The big horn of the wild bull was ground into powder, mixed with bull’s blood, snake gall bile, and various rare herbs, boiled into two large pots of alchemical baths. This was an extremely complex process, at least the craftsmanship involved was very intricate, so relying solely on Lin Tian was not feasible. The whole household began to bustle around.

It took two whole days, along with alchemical pills to complement the baths, which Lin Tian needed to watch over an alchemy furnace to concoct.

Once everything was ready, the two alchemical baths were placed in two separate rooms, with Lin Tian and Xu Xianrong each taking one. Both of them needed the baths to further strengthen their bodies.

Yu Yang mentioned that even if they soaked in the Dragon Transformation Pool for another month, it wouldn’t compare to a single alchemical bath. After all, the nutrients in the Dragon Transformation Pool had been absorbed too much by the giant serpent, while the materials combined in the alchemical bath made it much richer than the pool.

In fact, the meat of the giant serpent was also incredibly valuable, but Lin Tian was only one person and couldn’t eat that much. Besides, since the Dragon Transformation Pool was produced under a dragon vein, in a certain sense, the giant serpent belonged to the Xu Family.

Over the past few days, almost every inch of the serpent’s meat had gone into the pot, either boiled into soup, turned into medicine, or roasted to eat. Within days, it was consumed entirely.

The effects were also significant, as many people broke through to the Late Stage Martial Artist. The difficulty of forming a Golden Core was imaginable.

Lin Tian simply continued doing good deeds till the end, sharing with Xu Shaohui several methods to form a Golden Core without side effects. As for how many could succeed, that would depend on their luck.

This time’s retreat wouldn’t be too long. Once everything was prepared, Lin Tian entered the room with the alchemical bath. The room wasn’t big, only about ten square meters, but once the door was closed, it was completely sealed off, and this place was so remote that no outsiders would disturb it.

At the same time, Lin Tian also brought the Thousand Jin Rock. His master had said that the rock would be the key to his retreat this time.

The alchemical bath was contained in a large brown vat, which could submerge his head without any issue.

However... the bath’s liquid was a thick red color, and nearing it, he could smell a slightly pungent bloody odor, so unpleasant that Lin Tian felt like retreating from the room.

You’re kidding, bull’s blood, snake gall, plus various herbs—the smell being intense isn’t surprising. This was even after being diluted by the herbs. Initially, with everything mixed together, it was so foul no one could get close, let alone soak in it.

The crucial point was, this bath was thick, like freshly cooked congee barely soaking the rice.

"Don’t be picky, get in. This pool is a treasure that not everyone can enjoy. Coupled with the Taiyi Elixir and Thousand Jin Rock, I have seventy percent confidence you’ll break through to the Late Stage Golden Elixir," Yu Yang said casually.

Lin Tian’s eyes widened, his heart pounding fiercely.

Late Stage Golden Elixir!

These four words struck his heart, making his scalp tingle.

To think, his last breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir wasn’t even three months ago!

"Hehe, boy, don’t get arrogant. I only said there’s seventy percent confidence; whether it works out depends on you. Three months from Middle Stage to Late Stage, it’s quite fast, but you must solidify your foundation, or the Grotto Heaven Realm won’t be easy to break through,"

Though saying so, Lin Tian could hear the pride in Yu Yang’s tone for him. Moreover, that seventy percent confidence was likely an understatement.

Lin Tian took a deep breath into his lungs, then exhaled the turbid air. Finally, he shed all his clothes, grasped the Thousand Jin Rock, stepped lightly, and leaped into the alchemical bath.

Plop~

Lin Tian jumped in from above; the bath was so thick it resembled a swamp, not a drop splashed. Lin Tian could feel the bath enveloping him, pressing on every inch of skin.

The gall of the serpent that was about to transform into a flood dragon was indeed extraordinary, not something anyone could endure. The pressure from all sides alone would crush the bones of a cultivator below Golden Core. As for ordinary people, they’d be crushed into pulp within minutes.

However, with pressure, there was equally a sensation that was euphoric yet unbearable.

As the pressure enveloped, the medicinal liquid was also absorbed through his pores, tempering his skin.

"Quickly, reverse the Heart Method of the Tyrant Emperor’s Record!" Yu Yang shouted in Lin Tian’s mind.

"What? Reverse the Heart Method? Master, did you say it right?"

Lin Tian’s breathing started to become rapid.

Reversing the Heart Method was like reversing the blood flow—Akin to seeking death! The probability of going astray was astonishingly high.

Running the Heart Method involved circulating spiritual qi along all the body’s major and minor meridians, aligned with blood flow direction.

Reversing circulation meant the blood would have to reverse too. And since the heart drives blood circulation, wouldn’t reversing it mean opposing the heart?

Moreover, reversing blood flow didn’t adhere to the heart’s structure; within seconds, his heart would halt, or worse, cause blood vessel rupture.

If anyone other than Yu Yang had said this, Lin Tian would outright reject the idea. But trusting Yu Yang, he still voiced his question.

"The Tyrant Emperor’s Record is different from ordinary heart methods. If you follow my instructions, you won’t go wrong. However, you must focus part of your mind into the Thousand Jin Rock, otherwise, just as you imagined, your heart meridians will rupture, and you’ll die."

Yu Yang spoke casually, as if this matter were as simple as drinking a glass of water.

Lin Tian widened his eyes further, "Master, performing heart method reversal by itself is already exceedingly risky. You also want me to immerse my mind into the Thousand Jin Rock? Isn’t this... multi-tasking, which might be very difficult."

What made Lin Tian more apprehensive was that this matter was do or die; a single mistake would be fatal! He was still young! He hadn’t even seen his own child yet!

Yu Yang replied grumpily, "It’s not as hard as you think. Would I deceive you? The difficulty isn’t as great as you imagine; instead, it will feel very smooth to you then. You might as well try. Anyway, the intricacies I explain now wouldn’t help much; you should experience it for yourself. But don’t forget to take the Taiyi Elixir, or all efforts will be in vain."

Lin Tian eventually calmed down and tossed the uneven Taiyi Elixir into his mouth, not intending to swallow but letting it melt gradually instead.
