After the charcoal was robbed, no evil alchemist ever appeared in Dan City again, and it seemed the city had once again regained its tranquility from days of old.

Yet Ye Lingyue knew this was but an illusion, and a greater storm was likely brewing.

On this particular day, Third Brother He of Treasure Cave suddenly came to visit.

"Task accomplished without dishonor, Princess Ye, here is the ledger you requested." Third Brother He, true to the Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect's reputation, had stealthily procured the true ledger from the Alchemist Mansion that Ye Lingyue had long been investigating in secret, only took him a month to steal it from within the General Mansion.

The ledger clearly recorded that General Su had previously colluded with former masters including Wang Zhangding, secretly selling Elixir Pills from Dan City for high profits.

Moreover, the ledger also recorded that the former master was murdered by someone secretly dispatched by General Su because he refused to be part of General Su's corrupt schemes.

"What audacity General Su has," Ye Lingyue was furious after reading the ledger.

"Additionally, during the days I stole the ledger, I also noticed that General Su's movements were suspicious, and he has been frequently leaving the city these past few days. I dared not follow him recklessly," warned Third Brother He, reminding Ye Lingyue to be extremely cautious of General Su.

"Thank you for the warning, Third Boss. I'll figure out how to deal with this," Ye Lingyue accepted the ledger. With this ledger in hand, she could legitimately eliminate General Su.

Yet, she was one step short of being able to fully confront General Su.

Ye Lingyue had been practicing the Chaos Cultivation Yuan Technique for over a month now, her inner Black Gold Vortex growing day by day. She anticipated that within three days, she could completely merge the Yin Yang Qi Vortex and thus achieve Core Formation.

With the impending battle against General Su, Ye Lingyue knew that forming the core a day earlier would give her an extra edge.

She decided to head out of the city and intensify her cultivation to make a breakthrough in the Elixir Realm.

Similarly, before dawn, during the time when Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was most lush over the past month, Ye Lingyue suspended herself mid-air, using the Qian Cauldron to purify Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi into Gang Drips and Evil Drips.

After over a month of practicing the Chaos Cultivation Yuan Technique, Ye Lingyue also felt she was near the threshold of the Elixir Realm.

However, each time when she felt a breakthrough imminent, she was always slightly lacking in readiness.

"Today, I must breakthrough no matter what," Ye Lingyue slowly closed her eyes.

Just as dawn was about to break, Ye Lingyue suddenly felt something.

The vortex at her Dantian began to spin rapidly.

All around, countless amounts of Primordial Qi, like cats that smelled fish, crazily surged into Ye Lingyue's body.

Core Formation was imminent!

This unexpected discovery filled Ye Lingyue with both surprise and immense tension.

Dawn was upon her, and if she couldn't succeed in Core Formation in an extremely short time, the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth would dissipate, and she would have to wait a long time for another chance.

Ye Lingyue gathered her energy, tensed her entire body, and controlled the Qian Cauldron to swiftly separate Gang and Evil Qi from the air.

One drop, two drops, three drops, more and more Gang and Evil entered her body.

The black-gold vortex also spun rapidly.

When a crack appeared in the clouds at the horizon, bathing Ye Lingyue's face in golden morning light.

Inside her body, there was a loud boom.

Like hundreds of Thunder Bombs exploding all at once.

Ye Lingyue only felt that every pore in her body opened instantly, and the Heaven and Earth Elemental Power rushed in like untamed wild horses.

One hour, two hours, three hours... Sun rises and sets, stars light up and fade, Ye Lingyue sat cross-legged on the Xixia Plain, meditating for three full days and nights.

If other martial artists saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked.

When a martial artist forms a Primordial Elixir, the elixir within their body absorbs the Primordial Qi from the surroundings; the amount absorbed determines the quality of the Primordial Elixir.

This, in turn, signifies the future achievements a martial artist can reach.

Taking Hong Mingyue of the Hong Residence, a disciple from Three-Life Valley, as an example, when she formed her elixir, she absorbed all the Primordial Qi within a mile radius of Three-Life Valley, and the whole process lasted a day and a night.

But Ye Lingyue's elixir formation took three times as long as Hong Mingyue's, and it drained the Primordial Qi within dozens of miles.

Such a devouring act, Ye Lingyue herself was completely unaware of.

In a daze, Ye Lingyue only heard her stomach rumbling, and finally, she was awakened by the growling sound of her stomach.

Ye Lingyue was woken up by hunger, and when she opened her eyes, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was dazzlingly bright. She found that the wild grass next to her had grown significantly taller.

With a rumbling stomach and some bird droppings on her body, Ye Lingyue smiled wryly, realizing that her elixir formation had indeed taken quite some time.

She casually plucked some Spirit Fruits from the Hong Meng Heaven and wolfed them down. Afterward, Ye Lingyue checked her Dantian.

Upon checking, the half-eaten fruit in her hand dropped to the ground.

What on Earth?

Ye Lingyue had indeed formed an elixir, but unlike other Elixir Realm Martial Artists with either a Small Yuan Elixir or a Great Primordial Pill, the elixir within her body was dual-colored.

Ordinarily, Small Yuan Elixir Realm absorbs the Evil Qi from the surrounding environment, forming a black-colored Evil Elixir.

When it reaches Big Yuan Elixir, it absorbs the Gang Qi, forming a golden-colored Gang Core.

However, the elixir Ye Lingyue formed over three days and nights was a bizarre black and gold-colored Primordial Elixir.

It was only the size of a cat's eye, and both gold and black colors shared equal halves, resembling a Taiji Bagua but round in shape.

Could this be the Chaos Primordial Elixir that Hunyuan Ancestor mentioned?

Originally, Hunyuan Ancestor, the founder of the Chaos Cultivation Technique had an unusual, variant Dantian, which led him to create the Chaos Cultivation Technique based on his core formation experience.

Others with normal Dantian structures naturally could not successfully cultivate the Chaos Cultivation Technique, but with the aid of the Qian Cauldron, Ye Lingyue had a special variant Dantian as well, which allowed her to learn his technique. By a stroke of luck, she even transformed her own Primordial Elixir.

She has now become the only martial artist possessing a Chaos Primordial Elixir in thousands of years since Hunyuan Ancestor.

Ye Lingyue didn't know what this special primordial elixir would look like after breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm in the future.

"No matter if it is a Chaos Primordial Elixir or Big and Small Yuan Dan as long as the elixir formation is successful, that's enough." Ye Lingyue urged her Primordial Power, and with a flick of her finger, a majestic Little Infinite Finger Strength shot out.

With a loud bang, a finger strike was launched, instantly turning into dozens of finger winds in the sky, and the ground was instantly bombarded into a crater filled with countless holes.

Little did she expect that this elixir formation allowed Ye Lingyue to also comprehend the second style of Little Infinite Finger, Sky-shattering Stone.

Although it was the same Little Infinite Finger, the power in the Elixir Realm was ten times stronger.
