I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1169 - 723: Seizing Heaven’s Fortune, Extinction Immortal Pill (Part 2)

True to its name, utilizing this Elixir to achieve a breakthrough is a tactic similar to "pulling up seedlings to help them grow." Once the breakthrough is complete, the individual's future potential will be severely damaged.

From that moment on, making any meaningful progress becomes nearly impossible. It essentially severs one's path to immortality, ensuring that reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm again would be a monumental challenge.

Legend has it that the Extinguishing Immortal Elixir was first created by a Primordial Spirit Realm Alchemist originating from a Small World.

This particular Primordial Spirit Realm Alchemist was a man of profound sentiment. In his youth, before he had ever set foot upon the path of cultivation, he shared his life with an ordinary wife.

The pair were deeply devoted to one another. However, their lives changed when a passing Immortal Master noticed the future Primordial Spirit Realm Alchemist. Recognizing his extraordinary talent for cultivation, the master resolved to take him as a disciple and bring him back to the Sect to begin his training.

Because of the deep love he held for his wife, the Primordial Spirit Realm Alchemist could not bear the thought of being parted from her and firmly declined the offer.

In response, the Immortal Master took him by force. After making him a disciple, the master promised that if he dedicated himself to his cultivation, he would be permitted to reunite with his wife once he achieved Foundation Establishment.

Driven by the desire to see his wife again as quickly as possible, the Alchemist practiced day and night. Finally, after several decades, he successfully reached Foundation Establishment. Having also gained significant skill in the Dao of Alchemy, he was finally granted the chance to return home.

But when he arrived in haste, he discovered that his wife was now a white-haired, frail old woman with very little time remaining in this world.

Even so, the Alchemist refused to surrender. To reclaim his wife’s youth and grant her a longer life,

he brought her back to the Sect. There, he exhausted his Alchemy talent and scoured every piece of literature the Sect possessed.

Ultimately, he succeeded in researching and developing an Elixir that could transform a mortal, allowing them to step onto the Immortal Dao.

Tragically, before the Elixir’s refinement was complete, his wife succumbed to the passage of time. Her lifespan was exhausted, and she departed for the Netherworld.

Grief-stricken by the loss of his beloved, the Alchemist was devastated; a powerful Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, his hair turned white in a single night.

Later, after laying his wife to rest, he went back to the Sect to immerse himself in cultivation.

It is possible that his wife’s passing cut his final ties to the secular world, significantly elevating his state of mind.

The Alchemist’s latent potential was fully unleashed. His cultivation speed increased dramatically, and he reached the Golden Core stage in a remarkably short period.

Then, in a mere two hundred years, he overcame the Primordial Spirit Tribulation, becoming the youngest Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator in the history of the Sect.

The Alchemist’s master—the same Immortal Master who had kidnapped him and who was now the Sect Leader—was immensely pleased, feeling vindicated in his past actions.

He believed that if he hadn't followed that sudden inspiration to create obstacles and use the disciple’s mortal wife as a tool for heart refinement,

the disciple would never have severed his worldly attachments, purified his Dao heart, or realized that the Great Dao is heartless and only the Immortal Dao is eternal.

While the Sect Leader was busy celebrating and planning to groom his disciple as the next leader of the Sect, a catastrophe occurred.

During a single, blood-soaked night, the disciples and Elders of the Sect were all poisoned by a mysterious toxin, dying before dawn.

The Sect Leader himself was not spared; he was poisoned and subsequently attacked and slain.

The architect of this massacre was none other than his most prized disciple, that very Alchemist.

As it happened, the Alchemist had nurtured a boundless hatred for the master who had abducted him ever since his wife’s death.

It was this very hatred that had fueled his desperate drive to cultivate.

His sole aim was to exact revenge on his master once he possessed the necessary strength.

Knowing that his master cherished the Sect above all else, he sought to destroy everything the man held dear, forcing him to experience true despair.

In the end, his plan succeeded.

His fellow disciples, who lived alongside him every day, had no reason to guard against him. They were all quietly eliminated by the toxin he had painstakingly perfected.

Even his master was poisoned while his guard was down, eventually falling by the Alchemist’s own hand.

Reflections on the legend of the Extinguishing Immortal Elixir drifted through Lu Qing’s mind.

He had encountered this story in alchemy records left behind by a Primordial Spirit Realm practitioner.

According to those records, the Alchemist chose to self-destruct his Primordial Spirit and die after he had wiped out his Sect.

However, before his death, he documented the reasons for his actions on a Jade Scroll and left behind the sum of his life's knowledge.

These artifacts were eventually discovered by other Sects that arrived after the news spread; only then was the truth behind the Sect's annihilation revealed.

Thus, the formula for the Extinguishing Immortal Elixir was preserved and passed down.

Lu Qing felt a sense of complexity as he recalled the tale.

He found it difficult to judge the morality of the situation, feeling only that the world is unpredictable, often leaving one to sigh in contemplation.

Naturally, Lu Qing kept these thoughts to himself and did not speak of the Elixir’s dark history.

While the Extinguishing Immortal Elixir isn't of the highest grade, its worth is significant, as it requires several rare Spiritual Medicines to produce.

This particular one had been retrieved from the hoard of a Primordial Spirit Great Power.

Regrettably, using the Extinguishing Immortal Elixir requires certain prerequisites.

The recipient must possess a specific foundation of Qi and Blood, reaching at least the late stage of the Postnatal Realm.

Without that foundation, a common mortal simply cannot endure the Elixir's overwhelming power.

Because of this, an elderly man like Uncle Zhang, who has no cultivation, is unable to take it.

Lu Qing was powerless to change this; despite his skills, he was not all-powerful.

“Regardless of the circumstances, Brother Lu, the favor you’ve done for our family is immense. The Wei Family can never truly repay you,” Wei Zian said, his voice thick with gratitude.

“We have been friends for many years; such a small matter is nothing,” Lu Qing replied with a smile as he rose to his feet.

“I have completed what I came for, so it is time for me to return. Zi’an, focus on your cultivation. Once you reach the Golden Core Realm, I will have another gift for you.”

“Brother Lu, please allow me to escort you out,” Wei Zian said quickly.

The others stood up as well.

Lu Qing waved them off, saying, “There is no need. Don't worry about seeing me off for such a short trip. I’m heading out.”

With those words, he transformed into a beam of light and soared toward his home.

“Ah Qing, he really is…”

Mrs. Wei sighed, surprised that Lu Qing had departed so abruptly before she could properly express her thanks.

“Young Master Lu has always disliked trouble; it seems that hasn't changed a bit over the years,” Wei Shanhai noted with a hint of emotion.

The Wei Family stayed a bit longer before saying their goodbyes to Hu Zezhi.

When they returned to their own home, the servants were shocked to see Mrs. Wei’s youthful appearance, which naturally sparked a great deal of talk.

Lu Qing, however, was no longer concerned with such things.

Upon returning home, he found Little Yan and the others just finishing their meditation.

“You’re awake? Good, I have something to give you.”

Lu Qing summoned Little Yan and Han Lingshuang to his side.

“Brother, what kind of treasures are they?”

Little Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement at his words.

“I spent the last few days refining some Elixirs.”

Lu Qing produced several Jade Bottles.

“These two bottles contain Ice Element Elixirs designed to boost cultivation. Since you practice Ice Element techniques, they are perfect for you. This other Jade Bottle holds an Elixir that can improve the quality of a Golden Core; it is intended for Lord Han.”

“Ice Element Elixirs?” Little Yan took the bottles happily. “So that’s why you were in the quiet room refining all this time, brother. I kept catching the scent of medicinal herbs.”

“Guardian, these Elixirs are so rare. How could I possibly accept such a gift?”

Han Lingshuang felt hesitant and didn't dare reach for them.

“It is quite alright. These items are of no benefit to me, but they will help you advance your cultivation. That is the best use for them.”

Lu Qing didn't give Han Lingshuang a chance to argue, pressing the Jade Bottle into her hands and forcing her to take it.

“Then I offer my deepest thanks to the Guardian.”

Han Lingshuang gave a graceful bow before putting the bottle away.

“No need for such politeness.” Lu Qing nodded, then added, “Also, Little Yan, I will be entering seclusion again shortly, so I won't be able to cook for you for a while.”

“That’s fine, brother. You focus on your seclusion. I need to work on refining the Elixirs you gave me anyway,” Little Yan said brightly.

“Very well, just be careful. Even though you possess the Mystic Cold Flame, do not try to refine too many Elixirs at once, or you might suffer from Elixir toxin buildup.”

“I understand.”

After giving his final instructions, Lu Qing prepared to head to the Jade Cave for his seclusion.

Before he could leave, Little Li hopped onto his shoulder, clearly wanting to accompany him.

Lu Qing allowed it, and soon he and Little Li entered the Jade Cave together.

Sitting cross-legged in the silent room, Lu Qing began to focus his mind.

Now that he had settled all his outside affairs, his Heart and Spirit were back at their peak.

He could now devote himself entirely to studying the Divine Skill "Mistaken," aiming to transform this Small Divine Power into a Great Divine Power.

As Lu Qing entered his meditative state, his Heart and Spirit once again reached out to the Sea of Laws.
