Chapter 202: Rules Changed

Start refining elixirs!

The first batch, blew up!

It blew up very unexpectedly, before entering the final melting stage, it blew up.

He Pingsheng was not discouraged.

It's good that it blew up.

It blew up this time, and there will be experience next time.

Then, the second batch blew up again.

Continue!

The third batch, blew up!

The fourth batch, failed!

Although it failed, it successfully refined twelve waste elixirs.

"Hooo..." He Pingsheng took a deep breath of turbid air.

Refining elixirs for two consecutive days, finally made a batch.

For He Pingsheng, waste elixirs are successful elixirs!

He didn't continue refining, but pondered for two days, summarized the gains and losses of refining elixirs, and then continued refining.

From the fifth batch to the tenth batch, it never blew up again.

They were all waste elixirs, very thorough, very stable, and very insightful.

Ten sets of materials, a total of seven batches of waste elixirs were obtained.

Next is strengthening.

He Pingsheng only strengthened one of the batches.

Twelve waste elixirs were strengthened into twenty-four top-tier 【Spirit-Origin Pills】.

The remaining six batches existed in the form of waste elixirs, and He Pingsheng didn't continue strengthening them, because this kind of elixir is something that Golden Core Stage disciples can only use when practicing, and he doesn't need it now, so there's no need to strengthen it.

After having a general understanding of his elixir refining technique, He Pingsheng returned to a calm state.

Over the past year, he first spent half a year refining clothes and shoes, then spent half a year practicing spiritual sense and body refining, plus participating in auctions, trading societies, and exploring and refining the Double Spirit Pills with Master Xuanyuan before, his travels were enough.

Can continue practicing.

He Pingsheng didn't go to impact the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage; he planned to raise the other four dantians first, after all, the other four dantians were still at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But, before he started practicing, he was interrupted.

The visitor was Daoist White Dragon.

"Fellow Daoist He... heard that you can refine third-tier elixirs..." White Dragon looked at He Pingsheng, his eyes becoming more and more worshipful.

He Pingsheng said: "You even know this?"

"Sigh..." White Dragon said: "This is a good thing!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "How can there be such a good thing, the reason I was able to refine third-tier elixirs last time wasn't it because I swallowed two 【Double Spirit Pills】?"

"That's powerful enough!" White Dragon said: "Fellow Daoist He is not far from truly being able to refine third-tier elixirs!"

"Oh... by the way, by the way..."

White Dragon slapped his head hard and said: "Talking about elixir refining, I almost forgot the main business!"

"Fellow Daoist He, God General Mountain, are you going?"

"God General Mountain?" He Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Isn't it already open?"

He remembered that it was said last time that it would open in a year, and it has been more than a year, hasn't it opened yet?

"Not yet!" White Dragon said: "Half a month left... Fellow Daoist He, good news, the rules for entering the God General Mountain have changed!"

He Pingsheng was slightly surprised: "Changed?"

"That's right!" White Dragon nodded: "Before, it was said that only those in the top one hundred of the Dragon Chant Ranking had the qualification to enter the God General Mountain, and even if each of these people brought one person, it would only be two hundred people!"

"The rules changed suddenly these past few days!"

"Now, cultivators in the top three hundred of the Dragon Chant Ranking can all go in, and everyone can bring one person!"

"In addition, besides these, as long as they are 【Foundation Establishment Stage】 cultivators of Dingxiang County, after passing the test of the City Lord's Mansion, they can all go in!"

"This news has now spread to every corner of Dingxiang County, and even those Foundation Establishment disciples from remote areas have flocked here!"

He Pingsheng's pupils shrank slightly: No wonder he felt that there were suddenly many more people on the street some time ago.

So it turns out that many sect disciples from outside have come.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist White!" He Pingsheng asked: "City Lord's Mansion test, what exactly is tested?"

White Dragon said: "Don't know yet... but heard, it's testing comprehension!"

"Doesn't test combat power!"

"Fellow Daoist Zixian's sister is a powerful twelfth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator; her meaning is, we can form a team and enter the God General Mountain together to seek treasures, and take care of each other!"

"Fellow Daoist He, what do you think?"

He Pingsheng didn't agree, nor did he refuse.

From his perspective, he definitely didn't want to go in.

After all, it is said that besides spear intent, there are no other heaven-defying things inside, just ordinary treasures.

Even if there are some third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they can't attract him.

Why should I take risks for things that can be bought with money?

But now hearing White Dragon say that many sects of all sizes in Dingxiang County have come to Dingxiang City, He Pingsheng wants to go over and take a look.

Go to the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the test first, and see if he can meet the cultivators from the Tai Xu Men side?

If I happen to run into them, it would be good to ask how things are going over there.

And Qiao Huizhu, too.

At the very least, I should find a way to send her a message, shouldn't I?

"Alright..." After pondering for a moment, He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Whether we participate or not doesn't matter; let's head over to the City Lord's Mansion first and take a look!"

"Hehe..." Bai Long chuckled, "Good, good, good... Zixian and Zilan are both not far from the City Lord's Mansion; let's go join them!"

The two left the small courtyard and headed toward the City Lord's Mansion.

The entrance to the City Lord's Mansion was extremely crowded.

It was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense surged outward; he didn't scan the cultivation bases of the crowd, but simply patrolled the area within a five-hundred-zhang radius, hoping to spot Qiao Huizhu or Xu Changan and the others.

Unfortunately, he didn't see them after looking for a long time, though he did spot the siblings Zixian and Zilan standing in a corner.

He and Bai Long arrived before the two of them.

"He... Fellow Daoist He..." Seeing He Pingsheng approach, Zilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with some pleasant surprise, "I was worried you wouldn't come!"

He Pingsheng hurriedly cupped his hands: "Greetings to both fellow daoists!"

"Don't be so formal!" Zilan said, "You even saved me once!"

He Pingsheng said, "Actually, it's not worth mentioning. Have you two gone to test yet?"

"Not yet!" Zilan said, "The City Lord's Mansion hasn't started the testing yet; everyone is waiting. It's said that it officially begins tomorrow, but the City Lord's Mansion will open its doors in a while to let everyone go inside and wait."

"By the way, He... uh... Fellow Daoist He!" Zilan asked again, "I still don't know Fellow Daoist He's name!"

Once she said this, Zixian and Bai Long also looked at He Pingsheng.

Including Master Xuanyuan Changgeng, everyone knew He Pingsheng's surname was He, but no one knew his real name.

He Pingsheng didn't hesitate and cupped his hands: "I am He Kunlun..."

Borrowing Xu Kunlun's name for a moment.

There was no help for it... he truly didn't dare to use his own name.

If it were before, he wouldn't have cared, but now many regional sects had flocked to Dingxiang City. Heaven knows if there were people from the Beast Taming Immortal Sect; if they heard his name, it would definitely mean trouble.

He Pingsheng felt that the Beast Taming Immortal Sect might not necessarily hunt down a lowly Foundation Establishment disciple like him, but then again, they might; after all, he was the closed-door true disciple of the Tai Xu Ancestor.
