Yang Shan was dumbfounded, "Is he forming a Golden Elixir? Why is it so exaggerated!"
Yong Ji forced a smile, "I can't understand it at all!"
Thousand Poisons Qian had a sharper eye than the two of them. He vaguely sensed that this wasn't the conventional way of forming a Golden Elixir; it seemed to be some ancient method. However, the commotion was indeed a bit frightening.
This was Mi Xiaojing's most critical breakthrough. It might get even harder in the future, but this was his only chance to step onto the path of Ancient Cultivation. If he failed to condense the Star Elixir, it would be impossible to try again without at least ten years of recovery. Even Mi Xiaojing himself was unaware of this.
It was fortunate that he didn't know the intricacies involved. If he did, it might have caused problems instead. As the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss." Mi Xiaojing had been cultivating the Qianyuan Art from the Starry Sky without a true mentor, relying entirely on his own exploration. Even Wang Weijun couldn't guide him, as he had never practiced such a method.
Mi Xiaojing muddled through this stage, and even he felt a bit lucky about the result, prompting Wang Weijun to sourly remark that he had a stroke of luck.
Wang Weijun had sensed the situation as soon as Mi Xiaojing began his breakthrough. He almost immediately understood what was happening.
The power of the Tea of Dao Lord acted like a catalyst, turning what were originally bottlenecks and difficulties into mere trifles. Wang Weijun regretted that it wasn't used for the crucial stage of breaking through to the Mahayan stage during the Body Fusion period.
However, he didn't know that the most challenging hurdle for Mi Xiaojing was precisely forming the Golden Elixir. This was the glorious beginning for Mi Xiaojing.
No one could understand the importance of this stage to Mi Xiaojing, not even himself. He effortlessly condensed the Star Elixir.
It took only one night. That night, Mi Xiaojing was like a large glowing body, shining brightly until dawn. When the sky began to lighten, his entire body trembled, and he entered a state of sudden enlightenment, slowly floating about a meter off the ground, freely rising and falling.
It was a hazy state of enlightenment, devoid of thoughts, awareness, selfishness, fear, emotions, or heart. It felt like great joy and great freedom. At that moment, Mi Xiaojing was in a completely unconscious state, yet his cultivation level was rapidly increasing. A vast aura spread out from him.
Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, Mu Xiaoyin, Mao Tou, Wei Fu, and Da Zhu all quickly retreated. They had no choice but to back away, as the immense, invisible aura pressed down on them, making it difficult to breathe.
It felt like a mountain was about to crush them, filling them with immense fear. They were like mantises trying to stop a chariot or ants trying to shake a tree.
Yong Ji and Yang Shan also showed expressions of disbelief, involuntarily stepping back. Only Thousand Poisons Qian could maintain his composure. He looked at Mi Xiaojing in astonishment, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say, "How is this possible?" But the words wouldn't come out.
Mi Xiaojing's state of enlightenment lasted less than five minutes, but his gains were immense. As for the specifics, even he didn't know after waking up. The only thing that puzzled him was that the sky didn't look like the sky, the ground didn't look like the ground, the lake didn't look like water, and people didn't seem real. This feeling lasted for several seconds.
After taking a long breath, Mi Xiaojing didn't rush to get up. Instead, he sank his Divine Sense back into his Dan Tian.
The Heart Tower had grown taller, bigger, and thicker. That was his first impression. Then he saw Wang Weijun's head, with his body hidden inside the Heart Tower, looking incredibly eerie.
The decoy doll was still sitting on the Karma Fire Golden Lotus, while the four floating Poison Lotuses had settled in the four corners of the Heart Tower, as if they were growing there.
The Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture was still revolving around the decoy doll, with eighteen Prayer Beads orbiting in the outer circle. Mi Xiaojing suddenly noticed that the decoy doll had a heart—a silver-white spherical object that pulsed with Silver Radiance, like a beating heart.
Mi Xiaojing quickly realized that this was his condensed Star Elixir. But why was it inside the decoy doll?
Is this really my Star Elixir?
In truth, Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied because the Star Elixir was stunningly beautiful, like countless fireflies gathered into a twinkling star, especially when it pulsed, flashing with beautiful Silver Radiance.
Wang Weijun had already reacted, "I've truly seen it all now. So this is Ancient Cultivation!"
He secretly envied Mi Xiaojing. Unfortunately, when he obtained the Qianyuan Art from the Starry Sky, he was already a master and couldn't switch to this method.
Wang Weijun understood that Ancient Cultivation was difficult, but those who could practice it were incredibly powerful.
Since giving up the idea of seizing Mi Xiaojing's body, Wang Weijun hoped that Mi Xiaojing would become stronger. This way, when he cultivated as a Loose Immortal, he would have a strong backing and support. He was very clear about this. After changing his mindset, he felt much more relaxed. Moreover, judging by Mi Xiaojing's character and behavior, he knew that this child would definitely help him.
This wasn't a guess; Mi Xiaojing's actions had proven it time and again. Mi Xiaojing was not someone who would forget a favor.
Mi Xiaojing used his Divine Sense to observe for a long time before finally opening his eyes in satisfaction. His body returned to the ground, and he stood up with a smile, "I did it!"
His joy was evident.
A group of kids immediately surrounded him, each congratulating Mi Xiaojing.
"Brother Xiao Mi is the best!"
"Hehe, Junior Brother, take care of us in the future. You're a Golden Elixir expert now! You can dominate the Cultivation World!"
Mu Xiaoyin praised him with her eyes closed, making everyone laugh.
Mi Xiaojing said, "Little Senior Sister, dominating the Cultivation World is a bit much. I'll be lucky just to stay alive; there are too many experts in the Cultivation World."

"You will surpass them!"
Mu Xiaoyin had more confidence in Mi Xiaojing than he did himself.
Zhang Ke was worried. He had already started calling Mi Xiaojing Junior Uncle. What should he call him in the future? Little Ancestor? Wei Fu, Mao Tou, and Da Zhu weren't as conflicted, calling him Brother Xiao Mi right away.
Yong Ji and Yang Shan approached.
"Congratulations, from now on, you're our Junior Brother."
Yong Ji smiled as he congratulated him.
Yang Shan, who knew about Mi Xiaojing's cultivation process in the Heart Sect, was deeply shocked by his rapid progress.
Unfortunately, when Mi Xiaojing invited everyone to drink the Tea of Dao Lord, Yang Shan wasn't there. Moreover, Mi Xiaojing wasn't very familiar with him and didn't think of him. When he returned, everyone tacitly didn't tell him.
Why had everyone around him suddenly advanced?
Although Yang Shan had many doubts, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother!"
He also stepped forward to congratulate Mi Xiaojing. In truth, Yang Shan was quite satisfied. After all, Mi Xiaojing had previously refined a batch of pills for him, giving him the possibility of advancing to the late-stage of the Elemental Infant.
Yang Shan had been stuck at this level for some time. Although it wasn't very long, he was eager to advance. With the help of the Spirit Pills, he was confident he could break through.
