Chapter 2533: Breakthrough, the Hidden Devourer
"Success?"
Kaldren Stanford looked at the porcelain bottle before him, eyes filled with undisguised doubt, and raised his head to look at Carson Flores, as if seeking confirmation: "White Bone Jade Algae Elixir?"
Carson Flores nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Director, please inspect the quality to see if it meets the standards."
Kaldren Stanford, shocked, picked up the porcelain bottle and poured out the White Bone Jade Algae Elixir.
A refreshing fragrance filled the air, its luster bright and clear, possessing a bone-like white starkness but also a jade-like mildness.
With one glance, Kaldren Stanford judged the quality of the elixir; it was above middle grade, close to superior grade!
Three days!
Carson Flores actually used just three days to comprehend the elixir formula for White Bone Jade Algae Elixir thoroughly, and successfully concocted a well-quality product.
A genius in Alchemy Dao!
Kaldren Stanford’s eyes grew fervent; an alchemist of such caliber would be considered outstanding not just in this place of exile but across the entire North Sea!
He was previously a loose cultivator, without backing or connections, yet he achieved such a level of skill. The difficulty of White Bone Jade Algae Elixir was no small feat, and what Kaldren Stanford knew of Alchemy Dao geniuses, none had ever comprehended it thoroughly in three days and succeeded in concoction with limited materials.
If given a better environment, combined with more advanced elixir formulas and more materials, and time, could he become a Grandmaster of the Pill Path, even a Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine?
Such talent, if recruited by the Valentine Family, would be tremendously beneficial to them. And for himself, at least, he could gain merit through recommendation!
"You’ve completely mastered it?"
Carson Flores nodded with certainty: "Yes."
"Good, good, good!"
Kaldren Stanford delightedly exclaimed ’good’ three times, heavily patting Carson Flores on the shoulder: "To think you have such talent in the Alchemy Dao, our Valentine Family has truly struck gold this time!"
Carson Flores humbly replied: "All thanks to the Director’s guidance!"
Kaldren Stanford laughed heartily: "From now on, you’re the superior resident alchemist at our Valentine Family Pharmacy, you won’t have to concoct other elixirs, just focus on this White Bone Jade Algae Elixir."
"Alright, I’ll follow the Director’s arrangements."
Kaldren Stanford chuckled: "Do your best, when your time here finishes, I’ll give you a recommendation letter, you go to the Valentine Family, they won’t treat you unfairly!"
After Carson Flores became the superior resident alchemist, his status and treatment underwent a tremendous change.
Wherever he went, others would first pay respect, addressing him as "Master Roth," everything he used or consumed was the best, and if not for Carson Flores’s refusal, Kaldren Stanford would have even assigned him two very beautiful maidens.
Not only in the Valentine Family Pharmacy, but everyone on the island knew that the Valentine Family Pharmacy had recruited an astonishing genius in Alchemy Dao.
Time flew by like water, and as the will power within each Sea God Command was completely absorbed, Carson Flores’s strength steadily increased, and finally reached the Great Land Profound Immortal Peak after half a year.
Carson Flores did not cease absorbing will power, and as he continued absorbing madly, the once thick bottleneck, like a city wall, began to show slight loosening.
However, all the will power within the Sea God Command was gone!
Carson Flores felt slightly disappointed, if he had more Sea God Commands, perhaps he could directly break through the bottleneck.
Regarding breaking through the bottleneck and advancing, will power indeed has a unique advantage, yet it’s exceedingly rare!
In half a year’s time, Carson Flores had ten Clam Pearls in hand, and thinking of the last bit of Void Lotus Herb he had, after contemplating for a period and confirming his state had reached the peak, with no room for further improvement, he decided to take a risk.
Carson Flores first ingested the last Void Lotus Herb, in a vague trance, Carson Flores seemed to glimpse the hazy vistas beyond that barrier.
Not enough!
Carson Flores did not feel disappointed, he retrieved a Clam Pearl and began absorption.
The Clam Pearl contained no pure spiritual energy but held a kind of peculiar energy, once absorbed, Carson Flores’s mind became increasingly ethereal, everything around him grew clearer in his perception, as if amplifying Carson Flores’s senses many times over.
Carson Flores had an epiphany.
Sensing the heavens, sensing the wind and rain, sensing the changing seasons, sensing the rules of Heavenly Dao, from perception to enlightenment, the clearer the perception of the world, the easier it became to comprehend Heavenly Dao.
The peculiar energy within Clam Pearls wouldn’t enhance spiritual power but could amplify perceptual abilities, making one see the world more clearly, thereby accelerating one’s comprehension pace.
One pearl...
Two pearls...
Carson Flores used the Clam Pearls liberally, continuously deepening his comprehension.
By the time Carson Flores finished absorbing the sixth Clam Pearl, the Spiritual Power Sea in his Sea of Consciousness started boiling uncontrollably, like a pot of boiling water.
Carson Flores remained unfazed and continued absorbing the seventh Clam Pearl.
The deeper the comprehension, the easier the advancement, and the lower the chance of failure.
The eighth pearl!
The Sea of Consciousness was already surging with towering waves.
The ninth pearl!
The whole Sea of Consciousness began to tremble gently.
The tenth pearl!
The Sea of Consciousness seemed to be experiencing an earthquake, as if it were the end of the world.
At this moment, as daylight dawned, Carson Flores soared into the sky, his figure a phantom, swiftly departing the Valentine Family Pharmacy.
Carson Flores executed Carefree Wander, his figure flickering, and already he had reached ten thousand miles away.
In the vast, deserted sea, Carson Flores ascended skyward, spiritual power erupting like a sea, soaring towards the heavens.
"Heavenly Tribulation, come!"
Mysteriously, Heavenly Dao answered, and with Carson Flores’s words, clear skies instantly filled with tribulation clouds.
Soon, the tribulation clouds formed a massive Thunder Cave, where lightning flickered, and before the thunder had fallen, its terrifying power already enveloped the entire world.
The tribulation lightning descended, Carson Flores ascended to meet the lightning.
The ten-thousand-mile sea region became Carson Flores’s personal stage.
No audience was present, only Carson Flores stood proudly between heaven and earth, with an Eight-Armed Arhat standing tall behind him, the Dharma Manifestation imposing.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
One after another, heavenly thunders fell, Carson Flores hovered in mid-air, showing no sign of retreat.
Carson Flores concentrated fully to endure the heavenly tribulation, entirely unaware that beneath him, in the deep sea, a colossal figure emerged from the seabed, slowly rising toward the center of the tribulation lightning.
"Boom!"
The ninth heavenly thunder fell, Carson Flores like a Fire God, Eight-Armed Arhat akin to a Buddha, various magic artifacts danced, true fire rolled across the skies.
The tribulation lightning gradually dissipated, Carson Flores was drenched in blood yet stood proudly unyielding.
Carson Flores floated high in the sky, exhaling a long breath of relief.
Endured!
Advanced successfully!
From the Thunder Cave in the sky, vast pure spiritual energy rained down on Carson Flores, like the Milky Way of Nine Heavens continuously pouring into Carson Flores’s Sea of Consciousness.
In Carson Flores’s Sea of Consciousness, the wall shattered, the Spiritual Power Sea expanded rapidly, Carson Flores’s aura climbed steadily.
Hovering in the sky, Carson Flores’s blood-covered wounds healed rapidly.
At this moment, a terrifying figure rose from the sea, opened a gigantic mouth like a mountain, and forcefully inhaled towards Carson Flores in the sky.
Carson Flores was surrounded by spiritual energy akin to the Milky Way, and never expected such an attack; caught off guard, he was instantly sucked into the black hole-like gigantic mouth.
