“Fellow Daoist He’s Alchemy skills are even superior to Daoist Xuan Yuan’s, so I believe your Divine Thought must be extraordinary, Fellow Daoist He!”
“Of course, these are just my guesses!”
Zi Xian elaborated, “Also, when fighting that Man-faced Demon Spider, Fellow Daoist He continuously cast Spells. If it weren’t for someone with powerful Divine Thought, it would be impossible to be so fluid!”
“So, I speculate that your Divine Thought should have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Stage, or even the Peak!”
He Pingsheng continued to nod, saying, “Even if what you say is correct, that my Divine Thought is stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, reaching the Late Stage standard, I still can’t refine that Third Grade Medicinal Pill…”
“After all, it’s still the Foundation Establishment Stage!”
He Pingsheng himself didn’t believe he could refine Medicinal Pills beyond his Rank.
Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators can only refine First Grade Medicinal Pills; Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators can refine up to Second Grade; and Golden Core Cultivators can refine up to Third Grade.
By analogy, it’s impossible to transcend Ranks!
However, Zi Xian gritted his teeth and said, “There’s a way!”
“Fellow Daoist He…” Zi Xian took a deep breath and said, “I have a way to allow you to temporarily possess the Divine Thought needed to refine Third Grade Medicinal Pills.”
“It’s this thing!”
Zi Xian took out his own Double Divinity Pills, two of them in total, and gave them all to He Pingsheng: “These are Medium Grade Double Divinity Pills, and you personally refined them!”
“One Pill can double your Divine Thought and last for one hour!”
“I’m giving you both of them here, I hope you can give it a try!”
Zi Xian’s words indeed opened up a new line of thought for him.
He Pingsheng took a deep breath: Yes, if he used this method, it was indeed possible.
But in that case, the cost would be too great.
“Fellow Daoist Zi Xian…” He Pingsheng narrowed his eyes: “There are a few things I don’t understand!”
Zi Xian said, “Speak!”
He Pingsheng said, “You are just a Foundation Establishment Stage nine layer Disciple. Even if your Divine Thought is injured, buying some Second Grade Spirit Recovery Pills would be enough. Why go to such lengths to seek this Soul Return Pill?”
“Two Low Grade Spirit Recovery Pills can heal ordinary Divine Thought injuries!”
He Pingsheng consumed many Spirit Recovery Pills back then because his Divine Thought was almost on the verge of collapse, not just ordinary damage.
“No!” Zi Xian took a deep breath and said, “It’s fine to tell you directly, Fellow Daoist He!”
“Actually, it’s not my Divine Thought that’s injured… it’s my younger sister!”
“I have a younger sister with extraordinary talent, at the Foundation Establishment stage twelve layer Peak cultivation, and she is ranked on the dragon soaring rankings, currently at seventy-sixth place!”
He Pingsheng immediately showed respect.
Seventy-sixth on the dragon soaring rankings, that was truly impressive.
“Her Divine Thought is injured!” Zi Xian continued, “She was ambushed by someone during a previous competition and was severely wounded by an extremely malicious Divine Soul attack Treasure Artifact. The crucial thing is that in two months, a new round of the dragon soaring rankings competition will be refreshed. This is precisely the time for her to earn points and climb higher!”
“Although ordinary Spirit Recovery Pills can heal Divine Thought injuries, they take too long!”
“We can’t wait!”
“Otherwise, if she falls out of the top hundred, she will lose the opportunity to go to Divine General Mountain!”
“So we must recover her Divine Thought in a very short amount of time!”
“And to recover Divine Thought in such a short time, only by taking a higher Rank Medicinal Pill will it work!”
He Pingsheng nodded: This theory is sound.
The higher the Rank of the Medicinal Pill for repairing Divine Thought, the better the effect.
Zi Xian continued, “I spent all my savings and only managed to gather enough Materials for one batch of Soul Return Pills. When I went to find those Great Masters to refine them, they didn’t even look at them and all refused!”
“So…”
“So I earnestly request Fellow Daoist He to help refine a batch!”
“Although I cannot give you five sets of Materials, if you happen to refine this Soul Return Pill, I will only take two Pills!”
“The rest will all be yours!”
“Even if you fail to refine it, it doesn’t matter, all losses will be borne by me, Zi Xian!”
Zi Xian’s eyes were red.
It was clear that he genuinely cared for his younger sister.
He Pingsheng did not refuse.
On one hand, although his relationship with Zi Xian was ordinary, when others were in difficulty, he would help if he could. From a batch of twelve Medicinal Pills, he would give two to Zi Xian and take ten for himself.
It was also reasonable.
On the other hand: He had never tried refining a Third Grade Medicinal Pill and wanted to give it a try.
He didn’t seek success in Alchemy, as long as the Pill Furnace didn’t explode.
Give him twelve discarded Medicinal Pills, and he could save everything.
What’s more, Zi Xian also gave him two Double Divinity Pills.
“Alright!” He Pingsheng nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Zi Xian, I can agree to your request!”
“However, although you just promised, I still need to tell you solemnly!”
“I have never refined a Third Grade Medicinal Pill. If I fail, don’t blame me!”
“After all, you’re forcing my hand!”
“Understood!” Zi Xian also took a deep breath: “I’m at my wit’s end, I can only trust you!”
“Wait a moment!” He Pingsheng said, “I need to go into seclusion and first study the refining method for this Soul Return Pill!”
“You can wait for me on the first floor!”
“In as little as two days, or as much as three days, there will be news!”
After speaking, He Pingsheng went directly to the third floor.
All the Formations were activated.
The Formation on the third floor could only cover the third floor and would not extend to the first floor.
He Pingsheng took out the Golden Pill Collection, turned to the Pill Formula page for the Soul Return Pill, and began to study it.
The Pill Formula was actually very simple.
It merely introduced the properties of various Materials, then the key points of refining, the timing of using fire, and so on.
In one day, He Pingsheng directly comprehended it.
The key was the refining itself.
After preparing all the Materials, He Pingsheng looked at the Double Divinity Pill by his hand.
He really wanted to try refining without the Double Divinity Pill, just a bare refinement.
It wasn’t that he wanted to embezzle the Double Divinity Pill, but He Pingsheng wanted to try whether, with his current Divine Thought strength, he could refine a discarded Third Grade Medicinal Pill.
Could he guarantee that the Pill Furnace wouldn’t explode!
But after much deliberation, He Pingsheng still chose to swallow this Double Divinity Pill.
Zi Xian’s Medicinal Pill was of great importance. Since he had promised someone, he should do his best to refine it and strive for a discarded Pill.
Boom…
The moment he swallowed the Double Divinity Pill, He Pingsheng felt his Divine Thought surge.
It doubled.
Previously, when his Divine Thought spread out, it could cover a range of about five hundred zhang around him.
Now, it was almost a thousand zhang.
It could be said that it had already touched the Divine Thought strength of the Golden Core Stage Early Stage.
Open the pot!
Add water!
Boil!
Alchemy!
He Pingsheng did not add Golden Bee Holy Nectar. Although he had to do his best in Alchemy, he could not harm his own interests.
Suddenly, an idea popped into He Pingsheng’s mind: he should build a Pill Furnace here on the third floor.
Just like the Pill Furnace in the Pill Refining Room on Xiuzhu Peak, even though it looked big and clumsy, that kind of Pill Furnace would significantly increase the success rate of Pill Formation when used.
Hmm…
That’s it, after refining this batch, he would go and build one.
