1135 Travel (I)
After receiving the formula, Yan Liling entered a deep state of focus and analysis. She concluded the sthing as Wang Wei, but she also knew how to use this formula properly. So, without wasting much time, she entered the Dream World for a pill simulation.
For the first simulation, she successfully refined the pill using her current skills. For the second simulation, she restrained her dream body to the Quasi-Emperor Realm and had her refine the pill. This attempt took a few trials and errors, but only because she was limited by her cultivation level-but she had the skill. After all, her ability reached another level after comprehending the Alchemy Grand Dao Source.
Yan Liling was unsatisfied with this result, so she created a dream body that perfectly replicates her skills right before she proved the Dao. She was finally getting somewhere. As she watched her young self refine that pill, Yan Liling noticed many minute or subtle flaws in her techniques, many of which can improve her skills and cultivation levels after correcting them.
Yan Liling felt a rush of satisfaction once that version of herself refined that pill, and her skills increased by a noticeable amount.
'So, the path of skill is viable,' Yan Liling thought with a bright smile. After proving the Dao, she felt a great sense of emptiness inside of her. She had achieved everything she had wanted: being praised by the world as a Pill Sage, proving the Dao, becoming immortal/eternal, and marrying a great husband. The only unsatisfactory part about her life was that she was stuck in the Guardian World but did not regret her choice.
So, Yan Liling has been feeling lost for a while. She took solace in cultivating and refining pills, but she felt directionlessness - like she was doing it just for the sake of doing it. But now, she felt her passion for pill refining reignited. She saw a new challenge in the path of pill refinement, which ignited her love for the art and her competing spirit - she wanted to challenge that mountain that has probably stopped countless Pill Paragons.

Yan Liling's eyes becbrighter, her aura more peaceful and ethereal - her state of mind had improved significantly. 'It's tthat I visit the Myriad Pill World.'
A screen floated before her, and Yan Liling clicked on the [Embassy] icon and thought the words [Myriad Pill World] in her mind. She clicked on sending a request and waited. Her actions created a small commotion as the Myriad Pill World's Heavenly Court received her request for travel.
After all, she was the [Guardian] of the Myriad Emperor World and, more importantly, the first on the [Pill Emperor List]. The staff swiftly noticed their Heavenly Emperors, who exited his retreat to hold a meeting. Ten minutes later, Yan Liling received notification of her approval and left the Dream World.
A blue flmaterialized before her in the shape of a curvy body, and a few minutes later, it condensed into a clone. "This should do," she muttered before contacting her big brother to ask for a talisman. Once she received it, she used the Dream World to teleport the clone to her destination.
The first thing Yan Liling noticed after opening her eyes was a long red carpet with soldiers wearing gold armor on both sides. Her gaze immediately noticed a few towering statues: two on the right side with the title of [Pill Saints] engraved on their plaque and fourteen on the left with the [Pill Monarch] title. She slowly walked to the end of the red carpet, where this world's Heavenly Emperor and other court members received her with a bright smile.
"I apologize that I could only cwith a clone."
"We understand your situation, so there is no need," replied the Diligence Pill Emperor. Yan Liling observed this Eternal Emperor: nothing extraordinary, old, with long white hair and a beard that reached his waist, regular black clothes, and an aroma of medicine-just like most alchemists. His eyes were bright, and his aura could be described as steadfast.
Despite how ordinary and boring this man looked, Yan Liling knew he was actually quite an interesting character. The Diligence Pill Emperor, also called Cui Guoliang, originated from two eras of the Myriad Pill World. At a young age, he learned of the existence of the Nine Extremity Foundation and wanted to achieve it. However, all indications showed him he did not have the talent for it, so he opted for an alternative method through pills.
After honing his skills to the pinnacle of his generation, he refined a Mortal-Grade Dao Forging Pill with the slightest intelligence/spirit before sending it through reincarnation to experience the Samsara Baptism. The pill was instructed to remain a pill, so whatever form it was reincarnated into, it would absorb the flesh, blood, and spirit of its new owner to remain or revert to a pill.
Meanwhile, Cui Guoliang sealed himself in bloodstones. After every reincarnation, he would wake up, track down the pill, and refine it again to ensure no issue before sending it into reincarnation. This generation was the ninth, and his plan succeeded through luck and great help from his factions. Cui Guoliang woke up and swallowed that pill.
His plan did not work, but it also did not fail. The pill granted him the strength of 6-Leaf while also washing away his karma since his constant interruption of the process meant he had to start over. After that, he used his newly created [Samsara Refining Technique] to prove to Heavenly Dao he was the best in this generation and becthis world's Great Emperor.
"I'm glad you are understanding," Yan Liling nodded. The two walked inside while taking part in small chatter.
"I see that you haven't increased the number of recognized [Pill Monarchs]?" Yan Liling asked casually, but her words made many of these "ministers" embarrassed. Cui Guoliang sighed, "This topic has becan issue of contention, and these people insist that I be the one who makes a final decision.
[Pill Monarchs] or [Pill Saints] were not titles granted lightly; not even an Eternal Emperor can change that. Pill Monarchs are for alchemists who have refined an Immortal Pill while being mortals, and Pill Saints are for the ones who refined the Dao Pill.
In other words, this world had sixteen individuals who did something that only Yan Liling did back home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I honestly do not see what's wrong with using my Immortal Runes to achieve the Pill Monarch Position. Yes, it is easier than the other methods, but it's not something everybody can do."
Yan Liling was not shy about sharing her opinion. This world had created four methods of refining Immortal Pills, but with harsh requirements for talents and skills, none were universal. Over the course of their history, only 14 people have succeeded, and the number would have been higher if not for the fact that these pill formulas were highly guarded secrets, which even led to the destruction of countless factions or lineages.
This world's alchemist praised Yan Liling for her Immortal Runes creation, but they also debated whether the people who succeeded with her method were worthy of the title.
"It's all about preserving traditions," added one of the ministers walking behind them.
"Traditions, huh? That's not necessarily a good thing."
"What are you implying?"
"I'm not implying anything, just stating a fact," Yan Liling replied coolly. "Traditions is why you haven't uploaded your Immortal Methods to the Dream World so that others can learn and improve based on it. Traditions are what restrict development; traditions are why many people have predicted that in less than ten generations, your world will lose its status as the place with the most developed pill Dao."
These ministers' faces turned ugly. Such a fact was one of their sore spots, and they haven't been happy ever since someone released that statistic in the Dream World. Most people denied this truth, but sadly, the data did not care for their feelings. Most worlds were entering a golden era of alchemy with the spread of the Immortal Runes, and it was only a matter of tbefore someone surpassed them.
Yan Liling did not utter another word to these people. She knew why they were so stubborn. This world had one of the highest statuses during the Commerce Hub, which would use them primarily to turn most of its raw resources into things like pills.
However, now that the mighty had fallen and the other worlds could use the Dream World to train alchemists like raising grass, they were not as high and mighty as they used to be. It hasn't been 50,000 years since the war ended, and these people have not adapted to the rapid changes of the Endless Void.
