He Pingsheng had never heard of the Double Divinity Pill, nor had he ever seen it.
But through Xuan Yuan’s description of its effects, he was shocked: In the Cultivation World, there was actually such a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill?
It could double a person’s Divine Thought strength?
Although it was only for one hour, that was Heaven-Defying enough.
Just think, currently He Pingsheng’s Divine Thought could sweep a distance of three to four hundred zhang, so after taking the Medicinal Pill, his Divine Thought would become eight hundred zhang.
He originally couldn’t see through the cultivation of Xuan Yuan in front of him, but then he would be able to.
Moreover, after Divine Thought became strong, when fighting with others, he would undoubtedly gain the upper hand.
Furthermore, if one were to take a pill when refining a certain important Medicinal Pill, allowing Divine Thought to double, the success rate during Alchemy would increase significantly.
Heaven-Defying!
It was truly too Heaven-Defying.
“Fellow Daoist should not be too familiar with this Double Divinity Pill, but it doesn’t matter… I will not deceive you!”
“This is the Pill Formula for the Double Divinity Pill; take a look!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng handed over a piece of paper.
The paper was slightly yellowed, and the writing on it showed traces of age; it was clearly not a new creation.
“This is one I took out from my Pill Formula; take a look!”
“Alright!” He Pingsheng took the Pill Formula and examined it carefully for a while, then nodded and said, “Indeed!”
This Pill Formula not only recorded the various Materials and properties needed to refine the Double Divinity Pill, but also the precautions and steps during refining.
Among them was the Mist Divinity Flower, this Material.
And it was also the main Material, an irreplaceable main Material.
Because this Material was too rare, this Double Divinity Pill was not widely known.
“This Pill Formula is fine!” He Pingsheng handed the Pill Formula back to Xuan Yuan: “May I ask, Daoist Xuan Yuan, what do you invite this humble Daoist for?”
“Alchemy?”
“No, no, no…” Xuan Yuan waved his hand and said, “Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. What I want to say is that, in fact, this Mist Divinity Flower has not yet been obtained by this old man; it is still growing in that Secret Realm!”
“Actually, it’s not really a Secret Realm anymore, just a hidden place!”
“The place where the Mist Divinity Flower is located is guarded by two Yao Beasts at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. This old man alone cannot handle them, so I want to invite Fellow Daoist to go together, kill the Yao Beasts, and gather the Mist Divinity Flower!”
“However, Fellow Daoist, rest assured, it’s not just the two of us; this old man has also invited three other people!”
“At that time, the five of us will go together. After gathering the Mist Divinity Flower and refining it into a Medicinal Pill, I will give you one!”
“How about it?”
He Pingsheng smiled and said, “May I ask, Daoist Xuan Yuan, why did you choose me?”
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng did not answer He Pingsheng’s question but instead asked, “May I ask Fellow Daoist’s Daoist name?”
He Pingsheng cupped his hands: “This humble Daoist’s surname is He!”
“Good, so it’s Fellow Daoist He!” Xuan Yuan Chang Geng looked at He Pingsheng and said sincerely, “Although this Mist Divinity Flower is only a Second Grade Material, it is an extremely rare Spiritual Plant of rules. Therefore, I dare not casually find someone to go with. If I were to seek Disciples from noble families or large sects, it would be prone to complications!”
“Fellow Daoist He does not seem like a Disciple of a noble family or large sect; you should be a Loose Cultivator, right!”
He Pingsheng said, “That’s right!”
“Hmm…” Xuan Yuan Chang Geng said, “It seems this old man guessed correctly. Fellow Daoist He, rest assured, this old man has no other intentions; I just think that Loose Cultivators like us are less likely to cause complications!”
“Moreover, what this old man wants is your poison!”
“You are a poison Cultivator. If this poison is used appropriately, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort!”
He Pingsheng pondered for a moment and said, “Alright… However, I must first see the other three teammates before I can finally decide whether or not to go with Your Excellency!”
Xuan Yuan said, “No problem… How about this: three days from now, we will gather on the highest Peak of Shuiyang Mountain outside the East Gate!”
“At that time, if you are willing to go together, it will be according to our previous agreement!”
“If you are unwilling, then the four of us will go just the same. Although it might take some effort, we might not necessarily fail to obtain it!”
“Alright!” He Pingsheng then discussed some details about the acquisition of Second Grade Poison Pills with Xuan Yuan Chang Geng, settling on a price of fifty Spirit Stones per pill, with an additional ten Spirit Stones for each extra pill.
Only then did He Pingsheng leave.
After leaving the Alchemy shop, He Pingsheng did not immediately return to his small courtyard.
Instead, his conversation with Xuan Yuan Chang Geng made him realize his shortcomings in the Dao of Alchemy.
Relying solely on a mere Thirty-Six Methods of Elixir Refining was simply not enough.
He decided to purchase some basic books on Alchemy to read, so as to make up for his lack of common knowledge in Alchemy, and avoid becoming a laughingstock in the future.
So He Pingsheng stepped into the Coral Merchant Guild again.
In Dingxiang City, there were dozens of merchant guilds, but only three were top-tier: one was the Imperial Family Merchant Guild, one was the Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce, and the other was this Coral Merchant Guild.
“What does Senior need?” A Qi Refining Stage Seventh Layer attendant, very perceptive, ran quickly to He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng said, “This humble Daoist wishes to seek a classic text about Alchemy in the Cultivation World. I wonder if you have such a thing here?”
“We do, Senior, please follow me!” The merchant guild attendant led He Pingsheng to a bookshelf: “These are all classic texts about Alchemy. Please feel free to look!”
He Pingsheng looked around.
A familiar title appeared before him: Thirty-Six Methods of Elixir Refining.
He Pingsheng smiled!
Besides the Thirty-Six Methods of Elixir Refining, there were some other classic texts. He Pingsheng, following the principle that more expensive means more comprehensive, spent sixteen thousand Spirit Stones to purchase a Jade Slip titled Myriad Herbs and Pills Compendium.
The content within was indeed very rich.
All in all, it contained tens of thousands of various Spiritual Plants, from First Grade to Fourth Grade.
In addition to Spiritual Plants, there were also over three hundred complete Pill Formulas.
Among them was the refining method for the Double Divinity Pill.
The rest was simple.
Returning to the small courtyard, he quietly used the gathering treasure basin to strengthen it, and this Myriad Herbs and Pills Compendium was strengthened into two.
One was still called Myriad Herbs and Pills Compendium, but its content was no longer the same as before; the records of various Spiritual Plants within it were more detailed.
And those more than three hundred Pill Formulas were also improved.
As for the other, named Golden Pill Collection, it had the same effect, only introducing these tens of thousands of Spiritual Plants in more detail, and incidentally improving the Pill Formulas, and also introducing many alternative solutions in the Pill Formulas.
It could be said that these two books had no distinction of superiority or inferiority; looking at either one was the same.
After He Pingsheng studied the Golden Pill Collection for two days, it was time for his appointed meeting with Xuan Yuan Chang Geng.
On this day, after preparing all that he needed, he departed from his small courtyard, exited the East Gate, and then flew on his sword towards the summit of Shuiyang Mountain.
Upon landing, he indeed saw several Cultivators.
Led by Xuan Yuan.
However, as He Pingsheng’s gaze swept over the people beside him, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Because he saw an acquaintance, no, it should be an enemy.
