This inner elixir is the culmination of the efforts of the youth from the Yin Yang Gate, containing his will and serving as a vibrant, independent existence.
For Lu Chen, this inner elixir is extremely dangerous; it could potentially cause significant trouble.
Rather than allowing it to remain restless by his side, Lu Chen decided it would be better to put it to use for himself.
With this thought in mind, Lu Chen gestured with his hand, sending forth a wave of Yin Yuan Power that swept through like a gust of wind, wrapping around the inner elixir and bringing it back to his side.
Lu Chen spread his five fingers, grasping the inner elixir in his hand like a magical claw. It felt somewhat warm and soft to the touch, lacking any solid sensation.
At this moment, the inner elixir was still alive, wriggling like a mouse caught in his grip, very active.
"Since you still possess will, I will shatter your will. Only then can you be of use to me."
Lu Chen stood quietly within the Jun Bell, slowly speaking as he held the inner elixir in his hand, resembling a cold reaper.
Then, Lu Chen tossed the inner elixir into the air and immediately used Yin Yuan Power to immobilize it, preventing it from escaping. At the same time, he invoked the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture to baptize it with lightning.
In an instant, thin electric snakes danced across its surface, crackling loudly as they expelled the Youth's Will within.
As time passed and the will was being shattered, at a critical moment, a face emerged from the inner elixir, baring its teeth and saying: "Lu Chen, you have destroyed my true form and shattered my inner elixir's will. You covet my hard-earned essence; I will not let this go. Once my death is known to the ancestors of Yin Yang Gate, they will seek revenge for me. Hahaha."
This face belonged to the youth from Yin Yang Gate whom Lu Chen had killed; this inner elixir was his, containing his will. In the final moments before being refined, he struggled desperately to threaten Lu Chen.
"Die!" Lu Chen shouted fiercely as he clenched his palm tightly. Instantly, that youthful face was shattered by Lu Chen's force, bursting like a bubble with a pop, completely annihilated without leaving even a trace behind.
At this moment, the young man from the Yin Yang Gate truly vanished from the world, leaving behind not even a fragment of Yin Spirit or a trace of will.
This person was a senior brother of the Duke of Qi at the Yin Yang Gate and had a close relationship with Chen Taikun's son, Chen Shilong. He had come out of retirement to help because of his ties to the Duke of Qi and Chen Shilong, but unexpectedly, he met his demise before accomplishing anything.
Chen Shilong and the Duke of Qi must have already learned of his death and were undoubtedly furious. Their first suspicion would fall on Lu Chen, although they lacked evidence.
According to Lu Chen's speculation, they would likely report to the Yin Yang Gate first, informing the higher-ups about the situation. Consequently, the Yin Yang Gate would inevitably send someone to investigate due to this young man's death, making it only a matter of time before they sought out Lu Chen.
Ordinary people might search high and low without finding any clues, but some individuals are different; they often discover important leads in inconspicuous places.
For instance, the Yin Yang Gate is not short on such experts. If they arrive and find that Lu Chen was responsible, it would be inevitable that trouble would come his way; it was merely a question of time.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen could not concern himself with such matters. Killing was neither easy nor difficult; it ultimately depended on one's Dao Heart.
If the Dao Heart is stable enough, one can transform slaughter into justified killing. Slaughter depletes one's cultivation, while justified killing is part of cultivation and progress, leading to an elevation of one's Dao Heart in a mysterious way.
Lu Chen had already reached such a state. He did not believe that killing that young man was a mistake; on the contrary, he saw it as correct. This person obstructed the operation of Dao Qi Number and was a tumor—thus, he deserved to be killed.
After killing him, Lu Chen's Dao Heart faced no hindrance; instead, it elevated further, thanks to his own Dao Heart.
Having completely annihilated that young man, Lu Chen was left with only a pure inner dan in his hand, resembling a newborn baby—clean and flawless, whiter than white paper.
Lu Chen extracted a wisp of will from his true self and infused it into the inner dan. In doing so, this inner dan became his own.
Of course, Lu Chen would not cultivate an inner dan nor could he manipulate it as a weapon like those at the Yin Yang Gate could; he had never practiced Inner Alchemy Technique and thus could not perform such feats.
The only thing he could do was directly use this inner dan to unleash its residual heat. After all, that young man from the Yin Yang Gate had caused him trouble; thus, what Lu Chen was doing now could be seen as a form of compensation for himself.
Next, he would use this inner elixir as the focal point for the Blood Flower Array, serving as the central mechanism of the Great Formation, a controlling entity.
The inner elixir was thrown into the flowers, immediately surrounded by petals as red as blood. It looked beautiful on the surface, but in reality, it exuded a chilling aura.
The Blood Flower Array now had a focal point, but it was still imperfect, lacking a core. Only with a core could it function effectively.
What is the core? For example, Yin Boqing's Five Elements Calamity Scripture serves as a core based on the five elements. Only a Great Formation with a core is truly formidable and lethal.
At this moment, Lu Chen was refining this formation, which could also use the five elements as its core. However, Lu Chen did not want others to think he was merely imitating Yin Boqing; he wanted to create his own core, making the Great Formation entirely his own.
Moreover, the Blood Flower Array had ten petals, which did not correspond to the five elements in terms of quantity. If he forcibly imposed the five elements onto it, it would diminish its power, something Lu Chen did not wish to see.
Therefore, for now, the Blood Flower Array would remain unused until he found a suitable core in the future.
After completing all this, he spent an entire day just refining the Great Formation. If he included the time spent searching for materials, he couldn't even estimate how long it would take.
Lu Chen let out a long sigh of relief and swiftly flew outside of Jun Bell.
Upon returning to the outside world, it was already dark. Lu Chen checked his protective measures and found that no one had come looking for him.
During this period, everyone had little to do while Lu Chen focused on his training. Even if Princess Zhulan and her companions came by and couldn't find him, they wouldn't act recklessly; at most, they would take a look and then leave voluntarily without disturbing Lu Chen's cultivation.
The moonlight flowed like water, and the tranquil night quickly passed without incident.
On the second day, Lu Chen got up and began practicing his spells: Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, and Five Elements Calamity Scripture.
These three spells were currently his most frequently used and powerful techniques; however, none had yet been cultivated to their highest or ultimate realms.
If everything reaches its ultimate realm, one cannot imagine how great the power would be.
However, it is somewhat clever that the enemies Lu Chen encountered, aside from Yin Boqing, were not too strong. If they were all of Yin Boqing's caliber, he wouldn't know how many times he would have died by now.
Lu Chen locked himself inside the Jun Bell, engaging in closed-door cultivation like the elders and sect leaders of those major Sects, under the pretense of seclusion.
Of course, Adolf's Naval Minister's Residence was very safe, so he didn't need to find anyone for protection. He simply set up some defenses in his room, hid the Jun Bell in a corner, and then entered it himself, thus avoiding any disturbances.
As time passed, Lu Chen repeated his daily routine of intense cultivation, practicing the three **techniques**, gradually elevating his realm step by step.
Naturally, his Yin True Realm also made progress during this time, reaching the mid-stage of Manifestation of the Dharma Body.
Aside from his seclusion, he occasionally exchanged letters with Sun Zizhao to understand the latest developments in the current situation and how those major Sects were dealing with Lu Chen.
Having killed many people, it was inevitable that he would make enemies, and it was normal for foes to come knocking.
It was likely that someone outside had already begun searching for him; however, very few knew that he was hiding in the Naval Base of Yushan Kingdom, cultivating in seclusion.
Thus, life was relatively stable.
As winter turned to spring and summer faded into autumn, another year passed. This was the autumn of the third year, with only one winter left until the end of the third year.
On this evening, Lu Chen had just finished his training and stepped out of his room into the outside world.
At this moment, having just completed his cultivation after spending a year inside the Jun Bell, he found himself imbued with a strange aura.
After deep contemplation, Lu Chen realized that this aura belonged to a strong individual. Now, after a year and through meticulous conditioning, he had also become a master capable of exuding the aura of a powerful being.
At that moment, he saw Yue Shaoting and Princess Zhulan happily playing together. Lu Chen blinked, feeling somewhat relieved.
Princess Zhulan and Yue Shaoting were both among the people closest to him. Lu Chen very much hoped that there would be no barriers or hatred between them; what he wanted was unity to form an even greater strength.
However, he felt a bit mystified about how they had managed to improve their relationship, but he didn't have the courage to ask.
When Princess Zhulan and Yue Shaoting saw Lu Chen appear, both of them showed surprise, as if they had seen something they liked the most.
"Lu Chen, you finally came out."
Princess Zhulan and Yue Shaoting slowly walked over, smiles on their faces.
"Hey, what's this aura?" Princess Zhulan furrowed her brows, noticing something unusual about Lu Chen.
"Sister, that's the aura of a strong person! Lu Chen has become stronger again," Yue Shaoting said to Princess Zhulan, addressing her as sister right away.
