NOVEL NEXT Chapter 98: Solar Nirvana Pill
Feng Xuan stood before the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his eyes scanning the ethereal mist that drifted above the dual-colored springs. He had read about this place in ancient texts, but standing here in person, he could feel the immense energy radiating from it. The well was a sacred land of natural balance, where extreme heat and cold coexisted harmoniously. A lesser cultivator would struggle to absorb its power, but Feng Xuan had already formulated a plan rooted in the Vedic knowledge he had studied for years.
He knew that consuming multiple immortal herbs separately was futile—each herb carried a dominant energy that would reject the presence of others. His body would only fully absorb one before rejecting the rest, and the waste of such divine treasures was unacceptable. But Feng Xuan wasn't just a martial artist; he was also a seeker of wisdom. Instead of consuming them individually, he would refine them into a single, perfectly balanced elixir—a method known only to true masters of alchemy.
Step 1: Selecting the Base Herb
The first and most crucial step was choosing the Nine Yang Divine Ginseng as the core of his pill. This was not a random decision. Among all the herbs available, the Nine Yang Divine Ginseng was the most stable in terms of energy composition. It contained pure Yang energy, making it the perfect foundation upon which the other herbs could merge. With its presence as the central ingredient, the conflicting energies of the other herbs could be tamed rather than repelled.
Step 2: Extracting the Essences
Refining immortal herbs was not a simple task. It required precision, patience, and absolute control over one's spirit energy. Feng Xuan sat cross-legged and summoned his Sun God Armor, allowing his spirit fire to envelop his hands. The golden flames danced between his fingers, glowing with divine warmth as he began the meticulous process of essence extraction.
✔ Thousand-Mile Hawk Eye Lotus → He carefully extracted the essence of perception and tracking ability, which would enhance his vision, particularly for archery.
✔ Starfire Nirvana Leaf → This herb carried the energy of rebirth. He separated its regenerative properties, ensuring that the pill would grant him rapid healing and resilience.
✔ Heaven's Piercing Arrow Vine → A legendary herb said to enhance projectile techniques. He condensed its arrow-enhancement properties into pure energy, ensuring that his bow techniques would reach unparalleled levels.
✔ Sunfire Sacred Marrow → Known for its body-strengthening attributes, he extracted its reinforcement essence, ensuring the final pill would fortify his body against damage and energy depletion.
As he worked, he chanted ancient Vedic mantras under his breath, guiding the fusion process. The words held power—not just in their meaning, but in their vibrational energy. They helped to harmonize the conflicting energies of the herbs, ensuring they would not clash once merged.
Step 3: Pill Refinement – The Birth of the Solar Nirvana Pill
After nearly two hours of intense refinement, sweat beaded on Feng Xuan's forehead. His hands moved with precise, fluid motions, weaving golden flames around the extracted essences, binding them together with the Nine Yang Divine Ginseng. He compressed the energy, layer by layer, shaping it into a perfect sphere.
At last, the process was complete. A small, golden pill rested in his palm, radiating a blinding light as if he held a miniature sun in his hands. This was no ordinary pill—it was the Solar Nirvana Pill, a creation unlike any other.
Effects of the Solar Nirvana Pill:
✅ Yang Body Enhancement – Strengthens the user's physique, increasing resilience and spirit energy recovery.
✅ Hawk Eye Precision – Enhances vision, allowing for flawless tracking with the bow.
✅ Solar Rebirth – Grants passive regeneration when exposed to sunlight, ensuring continuous healing.
✅ Heavenly Arrow Empowerment – Infuses archery techniques with divine energy, increasing power and penetration.
✅ Internal Energy Flow Stability – Balances the body's energy, allowing for prolonged combat without backlash.
Step 4: Pill Tribulation – Defying the Mortal Realm
Just as Feng Xuan marveled at his creation, the skies above began to change. Thick clouds rolled in, swirling ominously, crackling with divine lightning. His heart pounded. He had read about this phenomenon before—this was a Pill Tribulation.
The Solar Nirvana Pill had exceeded the limits of the mortal realm. Such power could not exist without divine acknowledgment or punishment. The heavens themselves were preparing to test its worthiness.
A thunderous roar echoed across the mountains as the first bolt of tribulation lightning descended. Feng Xuan reacted instantly, summoning his Sun God Armor, raising his bow in defense. The lightning struck with devastating force, sending shockwaves through the valley. But he held firm, his golden armor glowing brilliantly as it absorbed the impact.
The second strike followed, even stronger. He gritted his teeth, channeling his spirit fire into the ground, forming a barrier around him. His body trembled under the strain, but he refused to yield. If he could not endure this tribulation, then he was not worthy of wielding such power.
The third and final bolt gathered above, forming a massive vortex of divine energy. This was it—the ultimate test. Drawing a deep breath, Feng Xuan nocked an arrow, infusing it with every ounce of his energy. He aimed skyward, locking onto the core of the lightning storm.
With a mighty release, his arrow soared, slicing through the heavens with unparalleled force. The moment it struck, an explosion of golden light erupted, dispelling the storm entirely. Silence followed. Then, the skies cleared, as if the heavens had acknowledged his success.
The Solar Nirvana Pill hovered before him, its energy purified by the tribulation. It was now a true divine elixir.
Step 5: Balancing the Energy – The Ice Counterpart
Though the Solar Nirvana Pill was perfect, it leaned heavily toward Yang energy. Without proper balance, the sudden surge of power could overwhelm his body, causing instability or even permanent damage. He needed an element of Yin to counteract it.
Recalling the wisdom of the ancients, he knew there was only one solution—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. It was the same herb that Tang San had used to balance his body's extreme Yang energy. If it worked for him, it would work for Feng Xuan as well.
Carefully, he retrieved the icy blue herb and examined it. It was incredibly potent, exuding a bone-chilling cold even from a distance. If not handled properly, it could freeze one's internal energy pathways. But Feng Xuan was prepared. He channeled a controlled amount of his spirit fire to counter the extreme cold, ensuring that his body would absorb its energy safely.
As he consumed the Ice Grass, he felt an immediate reaction. A cold wave surged through his meridians, colliding with the intense heat of the Solar Nirvana Pill's energy. For a moment, his body trembled under the immense pressure of both forces clashing inside him. But he had expected this. Closing his eyes, he guided the energies using his internal techniques, forcing them into harmony.
Minutes passed. Then, a sudden clarity washed over him.
His body felt lighter than ever before, yet filled with a divine power that surged like an endless tide. The Yang and Yin energies had reached equilibrium, forming a perfectly balanced state that no ordinary cultivator could achieve. He had done it—he had not only refined a legendary pill, but he had also successfully adapted his body to its overwhelming power.
Feng Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His pupils gleamed with golden light, his aura radiating an otherworldly brilliance. He could feel it—his archery had reached an entirely new realm, his body was stronger than ever, and his energy control was more refined than he had ever imagined.
