“Suxin the Pill Saint is currently concocting Divine Pills, having been in seclusion for many years.”
Lu Changsheng visited the Lianshan Holy Land in the western part of the Immortal Realm, intending to request assistance from one of the three great Pill Saints, Suxin Fairy, to concoct a twenty-first rank Sky Poison Pill.
But Suxin Fairy was in seclusion, occupied with other matters.
“It seems I’ll have to look for someone else.”
“Wait a moment.”
A charming figure emerged from the alchemy room, none other than Suxin Fairy herself.
The disciple of Lianshan speaking with Lu Changsheng was overjoyed: “Master, you’ve finally ended your seclusion.”
Suxin Fairy, with a weary expression, obviously drained from her recent alchemic seclusion, took out a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd and handed it to her disciple: “This contains the Elixir Pills requested by Purple Void Palace for their concoction, you must deliver it there without fail.”
The Lianshan disciple received the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd: “This disciple will surely fulfill the mission.”
Having said that, the Lianshan disciple hurriedly left.
Suxin Fairy, giving such instructions to her disciple in the presence of Lu Changsheng, made him inwardly astounded.
The Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Mountains, it turns out, had also commissioned a Pill Saint from Lianshan Holy Land to produce Immortal Pills.
It is known that Purple Void Palace, one of the nine Divine Palaces of the Ancient Heavenly Court, has a profound heritage, and the number of Elders proficient in alchemy is beyond count.
Ordinary Elixir Pills do not require the express assistance of a Pill Saint from Lianshan Holy Land.
Therefore, the Elixir Pills commissioned by Purple Void Palace from Suxin Fairy were very likely to be twenty-first rank Divine Pills.
What kind of Elixir Pills had Purple Void Palace commissioned Suxin Fairy to produce?
“Do you have a purpose for your visit?”
Though Suxin the Pill Saint was in seclusion concocting pills, her disciples would report their observations outside the alchemy room, and she already knew that Lu Changsheng had defeated the sons of Heavenly Court at the great assembly, and would soon take charge of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Lu Changsheng now had the qualifications to speak with her on equal footing.
“I would like to request the Fairy to craft a Sky Poison Pill.”
“Sky Poison Pill?”
Suxin Fairy’s eyes gleamed.
The Sky Poison Pill was a twenty-first rank Immortal Pill, and concocting such a pill represented an opportunity for Suxin Fairy to accumulate alchemy experience.
Even as Lianshan’s youngest Pill Saint in history, Suxin Fairy had never concocted a Sky Poison Pill.
The reason was simple; the primary material for a Sky Poison Pill is the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, ranked sixth on the Strange Poison List.
Moreover, it must be the potent venom of a fully matured Devouring Demon Worm.
The matured Devouring Demon Worm was exterminated during the Ancient Times by the Heavenly Sect Leader, and Lianshan Holy Land did not retain this special material.
If Lu Changsheng could provide the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison for her to practice with, she would be more than eager.
“To craft the Sky Poison Pill, you need Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, do you have it?”
“I do.”
Lu Changsheng’s palm opened, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand, containing the Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.
“You, how did you obtain it?”
Now Suxin Fairy was truly surprised.
The Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, already a legendary sixth-ranked strange poison, was truly in Lu Changsheng’s possession?
“The Heavenly Court besieged the Valley of Doom, and I obtained it by chance.”
“Do you know the rules of our Lianshan Holy Land? Providing your own alchemy materials, you must also offer twice as much in additional materials as a fee?”
“I’m aware. Here, there are eighteen drops of Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, sufficient to craft nine Sky Poison Pills, and I only require three.”
Lu Changsheng merely wanted to possess three Sky Poison Pills as a life-saving ace or to teach to disciples, which would be enough.
As for the specific use of Sky Poison Pills, Lu Changsheng couldn’t think of one just yet.
“Eighteen drops of Devouring Heaven Demon Poison?”
Suxin Fairy’s beautiful eyes wandered; ordinary people would be remarkable for offering a single drop, yet Lu Changsheng could produce eighteen drops.
To craft three Sky Poison Pills for Lu Changsheng, the leftover Devouring Heaven Demon Poison could still have other marvelous uses.
Lianshan Holy Land lacked Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, and Lu Changsheng’s offered reward added this rare material to Suxin Fairy’s alchemy resources.
“Alright, I will help you craft it.”
Suxin Fairy agreed to the request.
Three Sky Poison Pills could be crafted in one furnace, also saving Suxin Fairy some alchemy time.
“Then I shall take my leave.”
Lu Changsheng’s purpose for visiting Lianshan Holy Land was solely to request Suxin Fairy to concoct the Sky Poison Pills. With the matter settled, Lu Changsheng left for home.
“Quite the straightforward person.”
Suxin Fairy watched Lu Changsheng’s departing back, somewhat unable to fathom him.
Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak, beginning to cultivate in earnest.
The Demon Realm had not shown signs of invading the Immortal Realm on a large scale yet, thus Lu Changsheng silently cultivated, enhancing his own strength, which was the true path.
Before he knew it, another thirty thousand years had passed.
Lu Changsheng soaked in the Body Tempering Pool, absorbing the medicinal essence of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the pool.
His body was constantly torn by the overwhelming medicinal power, then restructured, with its strength continuously improving.
When he had absorbed all the medicinal power, Lu Changsheng’s physical strength reached a new level.
“Eternal Indestructible Art, the sixth layer, complete.”
Feeling the powerful force within, Lu Changsheng clenched his fists; Vajra Diamonds turned to dust in his grip.
The sixth layer of the Eternal Indestructible Art, the flesh might be compared to a sixth-rank Dao Artifact.
“The further along the Eternal Indestructible Art, the more perilous it becomes, only upon breaking through to the Divine King Realm, can the seventh layer be cultivated.”
Lu Changsheng ceased his Body Tempering.
The sixth layer was already the limit for the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Lu Changsheng intended to break through to the Divine King Realm before considering continuing the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Eternal Indestructible Art.
After Body Tempering, Lu Changsheng inventoried the accumulated Dao Artifact Fragments over the years.
In these thirty thousand years, Lu Changsheng continually tutored students, accumulating 888 Dao Artifact Fragments.
Lu Changsheng decided to use these 888 Dao Artifact Fragments to fuse into one Dao Artifact.
