Body Refinement Stage 2

Lin Han concentrated and then tossed the green fruit into his alchemical flame.

Instantly, the green fruit entered the flame.

The white flame was far from weak, and as the green fruit entered, there was a faint "sizzling" sound.

In the blink of an eye, the green fruit transformed into a liquid.

Lin Han knew that this liquid contained a remarkably rich essence of spiritual ingredients.

This kind of essence was unlike anything he had seen while practicing alchemy on Earth.

Lin Han restrained his inner desires.

Being the chief disciple of the Danwu Sect and a supreme alchemist who had refined countless elixirs, Lin Han knew that the elixir he would create this time would be the best he had ever made.

Without an alchemical cauldron, his alchemical skills might be affected.

However, any elixir made from these green fruits would surpass the elixirs created by top alchemists. It all thanked to the fact that these fruits were incredible spiritual ingredients.

On Earth, the highest-grade spiritual ingredients Lin Han had encountered would pale in comparison to these green fruits.

Lin Han didn't know where he was. Not only was there such abundant spiritual energy, but these precious spiritual fruits were left unattended.

If this were on Earth, such an item would be considered a national treasure.

Lin Han's alchemy appeared easy, but true alchemists knew that it wasn't easy. Lin Han's alchemy was so extraordinary that he could be considered a master alchemist.

Lin Han's refinement of the essence of the spiritual ingredients had reached a level where he could do it with ease.

Having refined all the essence of the herbs, the next step was to merge these spiritual ingredient essences into a pill.

Lin Han took a deep breath. At this point, he had no alchemical cauldron and had to simultaneously control the alchemical fire and the liquid essence produced from the green fruit. This placed a significant mental strain on him.

Even though Lin Han was a master alchemist, he still felt mentally drained.

Under the blazing flames, the liquid essence, resembling a fluid, started to meld and solidify, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Formation!"

Lin Han's eyes gleamed, and he sternly shouted.

The alchemical fire instantly burned more fiercely, and the pressure from the spiritual energy surrounding the essence of the ingredients compressed them into a solid form.

"Success!"

Lin Han smiled, and with a flip of his hand, the white alchemical fire dissipated.

In its place, a pure black, round pill appeared in Lin Han's hand, releasing a strong, pleasant aroma. A light sniff made one feel incredibly refreshed.

"This pill is indeed the best I've ever created. If I were to take this elixir to Earth, it would probably cost at least several billion."

Lin Han felt the astonishing spiritual essence contained within this black pill, even as an experienced alchemist who had created countless elixirs.

"However, why is the elixir created from the green fruit black?"

Lin Han looked at the nameless elixir in his hand.

Why was the elixir produced from the green fruit black? This color gave the impression that the elixir might be poisonous.

Lin Han didn't know what kind of fruit these green fruits were, and he was even more worried about not knowing what kind of elixir he had created.

A pill so jet-black looked, in Lin Han's extensive experience, much like a poison pill.

"Could it be a poison?"

Lin Han gazed at it.

These green fruits resembled divine fruits. How could elixirs created from such spiritual fruits be poisonous?

"It shouldn't be."

Lin Han shook his head.

He looked at the numerous green fruits on the small plants.

Each fruit was surrounded by spiritual energy, just like divine fruits. Lin Han couldn't believe that elixirs made from these spiritual fruits would be poisonous.

Lin Han took a deep breath and prepared to ingest it.

His eyes affirmed his decision, and in the next moment, Lin Han decisively swallowed the elixir.

The elixir gurgled its way into Lin Han's body. It was at this moment that a change occurred within him.

Inside his dantian, as the black elixir entered Lin Han's body, something unusual happened. The black vortex that resided within his dantian began to spin rapidly as if it had found something precious. Its speed increased with each passing moment.

The rapid rotation caused the black elixir Lin Han had just created to be drawn toward the black vortex by some unseen force.

Subsequently, the black elixir came to a halt, swallowed by the black vortex like a stone sinking into the ocean.

"How... how did this black vortex... just swallow the black pill?"

Lin Han was at a complete loss for words, almost rendered speechless.

This black vortex had come close to swallowing everything, including the spiritual energy Lin Han cultivated and the elixirs he ingested. And yet, at this moment, Lin Han felt something strange happening within his body.

He suddenly felt some discomfort as his body began to experience slight pain.

Then, in the next second, that discomfort escalated significantly.

Pain that was etched into his very bones!

An indescribable and intense pain surged throughout Lin Han's body like venomous snakes.

Lin Han instantly fell to the ground.

In that instant, the veins on Lin Han's neck stood out prominently.

His once pale complexion turned bright red the moment he hit the ground, and Lin Han lay there panting heavily.

Lin Han didn't utter a word because the pain was too intense, to the point where he couldn't even cry out.

What was happening?

Lin Han, lying on the ground, began to shudder violently.

With time, the tremors intensified.

Lin Han, with his mouth agape, felt like he was stretched to his limits. He curled into a ball, as if trying to alleviate the pain.

Lin Han had no idea what was happening.

However, he was certain that it had something to do with the black elixir he had ingested moments ago.

When Lin Han looked at the black vortex in his dantian, he noticed it had been trembling uncontrollably after absorbing the black elixir. It appeared to be on the verge of explosion.

Lin Han didn't know where this intense pain was coming from. It was unbearable.

His entire body felt like it was being pierced by ten thousand needles, causing immense discomfort. The pores all over his body seemed to have enlarged.

His blood surged wildly, causing intense discomfort.

Just when Lin Han felt like he couldn't bear it any longer, and the pain was about to make him pass out, he saw the black vortex within his body come to a sudden stop.

After it stopped trembling, Lin Han saw a stream of blue, milky liquid, like milk from Earth, instantly flowing throughout his body, saturating his limbs.

Following this, the excruciating pain gradually subsided.

Lin Han lay on the ground, gasping heavily. Even standing seemed almost impossible at this point. He was in a sorry state, drenched in sweat, with his clothes soaked through, and his hair plastered to his head.

After a considerable amount of time, Lin Han slowly began to regain his composure.

He managed to sit up, panting heavily, as he deeply inhaled the rich spiritual energy around him. It brought a refreshing and invigorating sensation, making him feel much better.

Lin Han took a moment to assess his body.

To his astonishment, he had experienced a breakthrough!

His entire body felt like it had gone through a series of tremendous explosions, and following that excruciating pain, Lin Han had achieved a direct breakthrough to the second stage of Body Refinement!

What on earth had just happened?
