That was too easy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan said: \"Zi Xian, quickly retrieve the flower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood...\" Before Xuan Yuan’s words had fully faded, Zi Xian leapt into the air and flew toward the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to pluck the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the spider bound by White Dragon suddenly broke free, hissing twice as six strands of silk shot toward Zi Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, Zi Xian could not possibly pluck the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only spin around to evade the attack from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would perish here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\" Xuan Yuan watched in growing anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Dragon said: \"I don’t know... how did it break free?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No good... my treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look at White Dragon’s hand and saw his magic treasure, the Binding Immortal Chains, had snapped into two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While binding the second venomous spider, the chains had been bitten through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack... crack... crack...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the spider trapped by He Pingsheng was frantically gnawing at the surrounding venomous thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison on the thorns could not even stun the spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it had absolutely no effect on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that within two more breaths, the venomous spider would break free again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Dragon’s Binding Immortal Chains were broken—he could no longer trap the other spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the venomous spider was cunning, moving only within three feet of the Mist God Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them were now hesitant, afraid to strike rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng took a deep breath and said: \"I’ll handle it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zi Xian, prepare to take the flower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, He Pingsheng pointed his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of spiritual energy rippled through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a massive block of ice suddenly sealed the second spider inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technique: Crystal World!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique was an enhancement He Pingsheng developed from Feng Dao Gu’s Ice Spike Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had mastered it but never used it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected his first use would be against a spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Xian seized the moment, darting forward in a flash to pluck the Mist God Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent...\" Xuan Yuan said. \"Done...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the first venomous spider, bound by He Pingsheng’s venomous thorns, suddenly broke free!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss-hiss-hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several strands of venomous silk shot toward He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spider, the size of a millstone, seemed enraged, relentlessly spitting silk at He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though He Pingsheng dodged several strands, he could not evade them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two strands struck his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silk pierced his robe and landed on his skin with deadly poison—but did not pierce his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he possessed the Nine Poison Golden Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slash...\" Now unencumbered, He Pingsheng had no further hesitation—he waved his hand, unfurling a black flag that roared with lightning, engulfing the face spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technique: Great Flag Rolling Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not it had a suppressing effect, after this storm of lightning, the face spider collapsed backward from the air, thudded to the ground, and lay motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the massive ice block created by He Pingsheng’s Crystal World shattered with a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had intended to strike again—but the face spider inside had already died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was stunned: Could the Crystal World be this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know that the three others around him were even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Dragon’s body trembled twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought he had already overestimated He Pingsheng, which was why he apologized earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, how could he have been so wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly underestimated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he had slain two face spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These demon creatures were no ordinary foes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were at the peak of Foundation Establishment—White Dragon himself, even without restraint, had no confidence he could defeat even one, let alone kill both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this young man had slain two with a mere gesture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Changgeng drew a deep breath, staring at He Pingsheng—he too was utterly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was too formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, He Pingsheng landed quietly on the ground and began looting the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retrieved two venomous elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Dao You ,\" White Dragon smiled and reminded him, \"Face spiders contain not only venomous elixirs but also silk sacs—their true silk can be used to forge magic treasures!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" He Pingsheng took the silk sacs as well, showing no intention to share—he kept them all for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to cultivation world rules, they were rightfully his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe...\" White Dragon smiled at He Pingsheng. \"Old man believes the primary merit for slaying the face spiders and obtaining the Mist God Flower belongs to He Dao You !\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Xuan Yuan nodded. \"Absolutely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the elixirs are made, I’ll take four, He Dao You  four, and you two split the remaining four.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zi Xian, hand me the flower!\" Xuan Yuan took the Mist God Flower and placed it in a jade box filled with spiritual fluid. \"Let’s return first—I’ll refine the pills later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the mission complete, they returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, they soared into the sky, riding their swords back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by midnight did they return to Xuan Yuan’s alchemy shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Changgeng gathered all the materials, then looked at the three and said: \"Friends, I must speak plainly before we begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Mist God Flower can be refined only once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And alchemy always carries a risk of failure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I am an alchemist, I cannot guarantee success—if we fail, all our efforts will be wasted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But rest assured, my alchemy skills are solid—I have a thirty percent chance of successfully refining this second-rank elixir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not blame me if it fails!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, everyone’s expressions darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joy from obtaining the Mist God Flower vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet alchemy was always uncertain—no one could say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Long said: “If one prospers, all prosper—there’s no other choice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muxian said: “I agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Changgeng looked at He Pingsheng: “He Dao You  should have no objections either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have objections!” He Pingsheng said: “Xuanyuan Dao You , I believe this elixir should be refined by me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must seize this initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
