TTPC Ch. 24: The Awakening of Lin Yi’s Spiritual Element

The medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water was very gentle. After drinking it, his stomach became comfortably warm, and this warmth quickly rushed toward his dantian.

Because Lin Yi never truly stepped into cultivation, he was incapable of seeing the situation in his dantian. When absorbing spiritual power, he could only feel a warm force circulating his dantian, but now, the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water was just like the spiritual power from tonics, turning into a warm current that flowed into it.

Except, before it flowed to his dantian, it first circulated Lin Yi’s entire body, and then with a rumble, it quickly rushed into his dantian.

Within Lin Yi’s dantian, the Spirit Enlightening Water began converging as if intending to rush toward somewhere specific. However, it did not reach its destination, instead being hindered by an intangible barrier, of which the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water started to strike at the obstacle.

The medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water was gentle when consumed and warm when circulating through the body, but as it converged in the dantian, the spiritual power seemed to become stronger, burning Lin Yi’s dantian hot. As it began to attack the intangible barrier, Lin Yi started to feel an indescribable pain, as if a delicate part inside his body was being fiercely struck.

“Endure. As long as the medicinal power can break through that barrier, you will succeed.”  Pei Xuanqing’s voice rang out.

Lin Yi nodded with a pale face. No matter how painful it was, he would endure.

The medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water was very powerful. With the first collision unsuccessful, a repeated second and third collision followed, causing Lin Yi to suffer unspeakably, his whole body breaking out in a cold sweat.

But Pei Xuanqing said that the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water had a time limit. If the medicinal power couldn’t break through the barrier within a quarter of an hour, then Lin Yi would be unable to awaken his spiritual element and embark on the path of cultivation.

As for what the barrier was, Pei Xuanqing couldn’t explain it clearly. Not only Pei Xuanqing but no one in the mainland of Fengtian seemed to know what the barrier was. It couldn’t be seen and couldn’t be touched. Even the most powerful cultivators couldn’t ‘see’ its existence. It was a genuinely intangible existence.

This barrier has blocked many people outside the threshold of cultivation.

In any case, because they couldn’t see through or guess what it was, cultivators on Fengtian could only consider it Heaven’s Will, determining who could embark on the path of cultivation and who could not.

Lin Yi was now struggling against this ‘Heaven’s Will.’ His jaw rigidly tense, he cursed this damned Heaven’s Will. Hurry up! It hurts to death!

He didn’t know if this was the case for other people, but it was excruciating, so painful that his entire consciousness quickly felt faint. His head began to buzz incessantly, and his body visibly twitched, sweating profusely.

“Lin Yi, hold on.” Pei Xuanqing’s solemn and earnest voice sounded once more.

After a while, Lin Yi felt like he was leaning against someone’s leg, but he was in too much pain. He had a death grip on his dantian, and all his attention was focused on it, with no energy left for anything else.

“Young Master, Young Master Lin’s situation…” Pei Qi hesitated to speak and looked at Lin Yi, leaning on Pei Xuanqing’s leg as if about to die, “This subordinate has never seen someone in pain like this after drinking the Spirit Enlightening Water. It doesn’t seem right.”

Pei Xuanqing’s long brows furrowed, his expression grave, his gaze locked on Lin Yi, “No matter what, now he must break through this hurdle.”

……

Just when Lin Yi thought that he wasn’t going to be able to hold out and that his dantian was about to be crippled, the Pharmacopoeia in his mind suddenly released several streaks of light, which coalesced into several golden threads that swiftly traveled along his meridians, rushing toward his dantian.

When the Spiritual Enlightening Water once again accumulated its medicinal power to violently collide with the intangible barrier, several golden threads coalesced alongside it and slammed into it together.

Hong——

Lin Yi seemed to hear the sound of something shattering into collapse. In the dark, he heard a faintly discernible ethereal sound. He couldn’t understand the sound, only knowing it came from high above the nine heavens like a bell chime rapping in his mind, jolting him out of his blurred consciousness after suddenly relaxing.

He seemed to have heard something and felt something, yet heard nothing and felt nothing.

At the same time, the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water converged into an intriguing place, a place that initially seemed to have nothing but suddenly came to life because of the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water.

The second it came to life, Lin Yi finally had a distinct sense of his dantian. He saw a vast realm filled with a faint chill with extremely indistinct, almost invisible filaments of frost.

This was his dantian.

Unlike Pei Xuanqing’s dark and gloomy emptiness, his dantian was vivid.

A bead that glowed with a faint white light quietly floated above the dantian, the medicinal power of the Spirit Enlightening Water having turned into spiritual power, filling the bead into emitting white light.

Lin Yi quietly shivered. As far as he knew, most pharmacists’ spiritual elements should be gentle, a green color close to spiritual plants. Even if it wasn’t a green color close to spiritual plants, it should at least be gentle. How come his spiritual element was so cold?

Why did it feel strange to him?

Not waiting for Lin Yi to think carefully, his entire body suddenly underwent a miraculous change due to the awakening of his spiritual element and dantian……
