第两千五百九十八章 提纯蟠桃

Subsequently, Lin Xuan did not immediately purify the Spirit Fruit but instead returned to his practice room.

After all, peaches of immortality were extraordinary objects that defied nature. The difficulty of purification was naturally far greater than what he had obtained from the Soul-Eating Demon Peach on Demon Spirit Island. Although Lin Xuan had improved significantly since then, he did not dare be careless when facing such a precious treasure. There was only one chance for purification, and it must under no circumstances fail.

The path to cultivation was long and arduous. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to advance, he would not waste time over this small matter.

Haste makes waste. Lin Xuan planned to rest well first, waiting until his spirit and energy were at their peak before proceeding with the purification.

Returning to his bedroom, Lin Xuan immediately cast a spell to gather water essence from the air and took a shower. After changing clothes, he slept soundly for several hours.

The next morning, refreshed and invigorated, Lin Xuan arrived at the practice room in high spirits.

Crossing his legs, he adjusted his breathing for about half an hour before slowly opening his eyes. At this moment, his energy, spirit, and physical strength were all at their peak.

"Phew!"

Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, his expression filled with satisfaction. He then waved his sleeve, and a dazzling light appeared as the exquisite jade box flew out.

It was still sealed withprohibitive talisman (restraining talismans). Lin Xuan did not want to risk any loss of the peach’s essence due to carelessness; such a loss could affect his advancement.

A small margin of error could lead to significant differences. Lin Xuan naturally hoped that every aspect of the treasure he was about to consume would be at its best.

He then raised his right hand, and a beam of light shot out from his fingertips. With a soft sound, the talisman ignited on its own, the lid opened automatically, revealing the enticing peach.

Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over it, his eyes showing a hint of passion. After all, using this object could save him hundreds or even thousands of years of effort. If he were to advance both baby souls and the pill at once, the benefits would be incalculable.

Of course, that was still uncertain; what mattered now was purifying out the impurities inside.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, calming his agitated emotions. Although he had been practicing purification for many years, he could not claim a 100% success rate. Especially since this peach was a sacred fruit of the highest wood element, Lin Xuan could not afford to be careless.

Based on experience, the purer and more precious the treasure, the greater the difficulty in purification.

Hence, Lin Xuan did not dare to take any chances. There was only one chance for purification, and there was only one peach. If he failed, his hopes of advancing easily would become as illusory as a flower in a mirror or a moon in water.

Even with his composure, Lin Xuan could not help feeling anxious at this moment. He then took a deep breath, sinking into his divine consciousness to use Inner Vision to examine the state of his body.

In his dantian, everything remained unchanged. The blue Star Sea continued to rotate slowly within him. If there was any difference from before, it was that the innermost layer of the blue Star Sea contained significantly more silver light points compared to before—indeed, they made up about one-tenth of the entire sea and perhaps even more.

These would be the main purifying agents.

After all, the higher the grade of material, the harder the purification. The blue light points could no longer handle this task.

Now, Lin Xuan’s sole concern was whether there were enough silver light points.

It should be known that purification must be done in one go; any interruption would result in failure. If the light points were insufficient, the effort would be in vain.

However, after scanning the Star Sea, Lin Xuan’s worry diminished significantly. The number of pure silver light points alone was impressive, and they should suffice for purifying a single peach, no matter what.

Having dispelled this concern, Lin Xuan began to mobilize the light points. He excluded all blue ones and only used the brilliant silver ones, allowing them to rotate slowly before flowing into his palms like a clear stream.

All these light points gathered at the center of his palm, making it appear as if Lin Xuan was holding a miniature Star Sea in his hand, breathtakingly beautiful.

After years of purifying elixirs and spirit herbs, Lin Xuan’s mastery over the blue Star Sea had reached an unparalleled level. Of course, this expertise came not only from practice but also from enhanced strength. Compared to when he first entered the cultivation world, his divine consciousness was incomparably stronger, making such precise operations much less likely to fail.

And unlike before, Lin Xuan did not hold the peach in his hand; instead, he had already cast a levitation spell, encasing it in a ball of spirit essence and floating it about a foot in front of him.

Everything was ready. A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xuan’s eyes as he suddenly lowered his left hand while swiftly drawing an arc with his right. As he moved, the silver light points seemed to be driven by an invisible force, flowing into the peach like a stream.

Although this process appeared simple, Lin Xuan’s expression was extremely serious. The true difficulty could not be discerned at first glance.

Lin Xuan carefully controlled the light points, not daring to make any mistakes.

The purification of the peach proved more difficult than he had anticipated. Fortunately, compared to blue light points, silver ones had far greater purifying capabilities, but it was still challenging. The movement of impurities inside the peach was extremely slow.

And so Lin Xuan sat for three days.

"Finally done."

At noon, the usually quiet stone room suddenly echoed with a joyful cry.

Lin Xuan’s eyes showed signs of fatigue, but his expression was one of unparalleled excitement.

He looked at the spirit fruit floating in front of him. Compared to when he first saw it, this peach was smaller but smoother and more lustrous, its color vividly fresh. Even more mysteriously, some faint spiritual patterns appeared on the surface of the peach.

These patterns were incredibly intricate. Even with his current cultivation level, Lin Xuan could not discern their meaning, but they added a touch of mystery to the fruit.

At the same time, it emitted an intoxicating fragrance that filled the entire stone room. Just inhaling it was enough to make one feel refreshed and invigorated. What benefits this perfect peach would bring if swallowed were beyond description.

Lin Xuan held his treasure in hand, marveling at his good fortune. Advancing through such a method could save him much effort.
