The little grass was very surprised and carefully stretched out its tendrils to observe the situation outside. After the golden lightning struck the peak, it seemed to shrink in size out of thin air, becoming a small snake-like golden lightning bolt, which flashed and disappeared from the lid of the cauldron.
"I don't know. This alchemy technique and hand seals are very strange. They seem to be specifically designed for these 'Tai Sui' (a type of powerful deity).
Lin Yao still had the energy to respond to Xiao Cao. He opened his eyes to observe the magical scene of golden lightning entering the cauldron lid. "Xiao Cao, these 'Tai Sui' seem different from the ones before. In addition to the 'life force' you mentioned, they seem to have another ability. When I contact this power with my mind, I feel like I am listening to Zen. Maybe it is the power of Buddha."
"no!"
Suddenly, the little grass shouted, "That's not the power of Buddha, but the power of faith!"
“I suddenly remembered that the ‘Tai Sui’ is a very magical creature. Not only can its specific components and abilities not be explored by modern science and technology, but it can also absorb and store the power of faith. This is the reason for the folk tradition of ‘worshipping Tai Sui’, because some mutated ‘Tai Sui’ may have preliminary intelligence, which is what people call ‘becoming a spirit’.”
“Yaoyao, hurry up and refine it. I think this ‘power of faith’ might be very helpful for me to restore my original nature. Of course, its name may not be ‘power of faith’, but it is very similar to the ‘power of faith’ I have read in Western classics, doctrines and legends. It all comes from human faith and is gathered by some special things. This is similar to ‘Morning Mist’ using ‘Poison Man’ to deprive the human body of its life force, but it is a level higher.”
Lin Yao understood what Xiao Cao meant. Mount Heng in Nanyue has been an important place for both Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times, and the deities worshipped there are very complex. Among them, the Guanyin Bodhisattva who grants children in the "Nanyue Grand Temple" at the foot of Zhurong Peak is said to be very efficacious, almost to the point of granting every request. This may be related to the "life force" contained in "Tai Sui". After drinking three small cups of water in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue, the physical functions of both men and women are well regulated, and they can naturally get pregnant and give birth as they wish.
This religious site even attracts pilgrims from Taiwan and Hong Kong, demonstrating its fame. The devotion of its followers is undeniably strong, resulting in an immense amount of "faith power" collected by these "Tai Sui" statues. Perhaps this is the real reason why these miraculous "Tai Sui" statues can grow to such an astonishing size.
"not good!"
Lin Yao suddenly sensed a change inside the cauldron. He had originally only intended to refine the smallest one-meter-diameter "Tai Sui," but after the first golden lightning bolt entered the cauldron lid, an anomaly occurred. All thirty-six "Tai Sui" entered the alchemy process, and the electric light wrapped around the small "Tai Sui" automatically split into thirty-six strands, rapidly rotating around the thirty-six spheres, including the "Tai Sui King." Lin Yao's true energy output surged, immediately giving him a feeling of being overwhelmed.
"Give me spirit stones! I can't take it anymore!"
"Okay!" Xiaocao immediately put two spirit stones into Lin Yao's mouth. "I'll help you extract spiritual energy."
With the help of the little grass, spiritual energy was extracted from the spirit stone and fed back into Lin Yao's meridians, the situation was alleviated, and the alchemy process continued.
One, two, three...
Golden lightning bolts continuously fell from the crimson clouds in the sky. At first, the intervals were relatively long, but as time went on, they became more and more frequent, and finally they seemed to connect together, falling rapidly like a pearl necklace, which made the several Heavenly-level experts who had controlled their minds tremble with fear.
"Fortunately, these golden lightning bolts can be absorbed by the electric light inside the cauldron, otherwise there wouldn't be enough electric light."
Lin Yao thought to himself, quickening the hand seals in his hand. The feeling of rapidly draining his true energy and then being quickly replenished and converted by spiritual energy made him feel somewhat exhausted. After completing the last hand seal, he suddenly had a feeling of "leaving it to fate." Whether the alchemy would succeed or not depended on the will of heaven. It was the first time he had used a new mental cultivation method and hand seals, and he really didn't know what the consequences would be.
"Hum~~~~~~~"
Like a bolt from the blue, the sound resounded from Lingyao Peak, which had been bathed in the glow of the rosy clouds all night and was welcoming the dawn. The sound traveled hundreds of kilometers away, leaving all living beings deeply shocked.
The crimson glow in the sky disappeared, replaced by a magnificent radiance from the summit of Lingyao Peak, like countless multicolored laser beams shooting into the air and spreading out in a radiant pattern, resembling a giant, colorful chrysanthemum blooming atop Lingyao Peak, incomparably beautiful.
"We did it! We did it!"
Little Grass shrieked, "There are a total of 3,333,333 pills, all of them are golden, and I can feel a mysterious power inside them."
Just as Lin Yao was about to respond to Xiao Cao's happiness with his last bit of energy, he was interrupted by Xiao Cao's even louder exclamation.
"Yaoyao! It worked! My essence can be restored!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao, who had been forcing himself to stay awake, felt a surge of joy and then fainted...

"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing that Lin Yao's emotions and actions were extremely inappropriate, Xiao Cao quickly suppressed her joy, realizing that it was inappropriate for her to be happy at this time; she should at least share Lin Yao's joy.
“I was thinking, if we hadn’t rushed to Huizhou, but instead come here first to refine the ‘Tai Sui,’ then Dika wouldn’t have died…”
“Dika is not dead, Yaoyao. I assure you she is not dead. She is just sealed in Chiyou’s horn. We can revive her.”
Xiao Cao was getting anxious. If this situation wasn't handled properly, it would become a major hidden danger in Lin Yao's heart, and might even become a matter of life and death in the future, because it was related to Lin Yao's state of mind.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more obstacles and crises arise from all sides. One careless move can lead to demonic possession. One must be extremely cautious, like walking on thin ice, to get through safely. Cultivation against the heavens is not so easy to accomplish!
"What's the use? We don't even know the method, let alone how to achieve it." Lin Yao was very frustrated. "Even if we had the method, I don't think the two of us would be able to resurrect people. Maybe we'll have to leave it to future generations."
Humans are often like this: when tragedy strikes, people can usually bear it, but if they learn afterwards that they could have avoided the tragedy, the resulting regret, self-reflection, and self-blame can even wear down all of their willpower. Perhaps this is human nature.
After a long while, Little Grass couldn't find any words to comfort her, so she said in a huff, "Then let's cultivate desperately! As long as we cultivate to a certain level, we might be able to revive Dika. But if we don't cultivate, we'll never have a chance!"
Xiao Cao's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Lin Yao's head, sweeping away his entanglement and melancholy. He immediately realized that this kind of Lin Daiyu-style self-love and self-pity was simply a morbid state, and that only a positive and upward spirit was worth advocating and could help him achieve his goals.
After thanking Xiaocao, Lin Yao focused his mind and glided down from the top of Lingyao Peak. He let out a fierce howl all the way down, and the huge howl penetrated the forest and carried for more than ten kilometers, which surprised Yi Potian, Sun Woxing and others who were waiting at a distance from Lingyao Peak.
The howling sound was filled with endless longing and an indomitable will, giving a feeling of defying fate and roaring to the heavens.
At this moment, Lin Yao hated many people, dragging everyone in, whether they were related or not, into the mess.
For example, government officials and heads of related institutions and companies who have consistently promoted and favored "Jiuren Pharmaceutical"; for example, those who resolutely opposed the complete extermination of the Jiang family and protected the Jiang family headquarters in Luofu Mountain, Huizhou from invasion. Those political and military officials who were retained will continue to be granted preferential treatment.
For example, those leaders and staff of various levels of government and institutions who are snobbish, obsequious to superiors and bullying subordinates, and who only know how to do superficial work and not actually do anything else, are the ones who keep companies and enterprises, including Minhong, busy and have to devote a lot of financial, material and human resources to deal with them. They also made Lin Yao eager to deal with "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" so that he could spare the energy to deal with them seriously. However, he did not expect that this haste would lead to Dika's death.
