Chapter 273

Thousands of people surrounded He Pingsheng's elixir shop.

It was packed tight.

Countless people were discussing it animatedly.

However, Ling Zhiwang, who was standing right next to him, wore a look of disdain.

He Pingsheng asked with some curiosity, "Fellow Daoist Ling, do you know what's going on?"

"Hehe... these people are truly ignorant," Ling Zhiwang chuckled and said, "This ancestor of the Mi family, Mi Cangyuan, is no simple man, but his legends are from a hundred years ago; few people have heard of them nowadays!"

"Forget it!"

"Senior Mi is currently in your small courtyard, so it wouldn't be right for me to gossip!"

"If there's anything else, we'll talk later. I'm off!"

Ling Zhiwang waved his hand and left He Pingsheng's small courtyard.

The people outside also began to disperse gradually.

About an hour later, things outside He Pingsheng's elixir shop returned to normal.

He Pingsheng sent away the few people who came in to buy elixirs.

He wasn't opening for business today.

After another half hour or so, the yin energy, which looked like black smoke rising from a chimney on the backyard roof, slowly vanished, leaving not a trace behind.

With a creak, the small door opened.

Two people walked out from the door.

One was Mi Cangyuan, and the other was, surprisingly, a beautiful woman dressed in white.

He Pingsheng was slightly surprised.

If nothing else, just in terms of beauty, this woman's appearance did not lose out even to Qiao Huizhu.

What a beautiful woman.

"Hehehehe..." Mi Cangyuan looked at the woman, smiling just like a child. He pointed at He Pingsheng and said, "It was this little brother who helped me refine the elixir!"

"I am Qi Suyin. Many thanks to this little brother for saving my life!"

The woman bowed gracefully to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not..."

He secretly released a wisp of spiritual sense to scan the woman.

He did see through her.

This woman was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she was only at the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment; compared to Mi Cangyuan, who was at the twelfth layer of the Golden Core Stage, she was far behind.

"Senior, do you feel any discomfort?"

"What are your plans?"

"Do you still need to refine elixirs?"

He Pingsheng looked at Mi Cangyuan with a sincere expression.

Mi Cangyuan shook his head and smiled, "No need. My wife has recovered very well. After resting for a period of time like this, she can resume her cultivation."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qi Suyin shot Mi Cangyuan a glare, then turned to look at He Pingsheng and said, "Little brother, I heard from my husband that your wife once dispersed her Qi to recultivate?"

He Pingsheng said, "Yes... she dispersed her Qi to recultivate!"

"Fortunately, she succeeded!"

"Then!" Qi Suyin asked, "Little brother, do you still have those elixirs for reshaping meridians after dispersing Qi?"

What she was referring to were naturally the Meridian-Opening Pill, the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and the Spirit-Expanding Pill.

He Pingsheng said, "I do... but Senior, are you planning to..."

"Yes!" Before He Pingsheng could finish, Qi Suyin nodded and said, "The cultivation technique I practiced had problems, and it almost cost me my life!"

"So I also want to disperse my Qi and recultivate!"

"I want to ask, was your wife's success in reshaping her meridians back then due to the top-tier elixirs, or because she had immense fortune?"

He Pingsheng said, "It was the top-tier elixirs!"

"If Senior needs them, I have some here!"

He wasn't stingy either and took out three elixirs directly.

They were: the Meridian-Opening Pill, the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and the Spirit-Expanding Pill.

All were top-tier.

Keeping these things was useless, and he estimated they would be hard to sell anyway.

Giving them to this woman was just the right way to do a favor.

After all, Mi Cangyuan was a big shot capable of cross-rank combat; by latching onto this big thigh, wouldn't he have some protection in the future?

"This is truly wonderful!"

The woman's face immediately blossomed into a smile.

Mi Cangyuan said, "Dispersing Qi to recultivate is no problem, I'm just afraid your lifespan won't be enough. After all, you have been asleep for a hundred years!"

Foundation Establishment cultivators only have a lifespan of two hundred years.

"It's fine!" Qi Suyin said, "I am only a hundred and sixty-something years old now!"

"Recultivating is very fast. I estimate that at most ten years, I can recover!"

"And then I can charge towards the Golden Core Stage!"

"You don't have to wait for me either, hurry up and break through!"

"Waiting for me, who knows what year or month that will be?"

Mi Cangyuan immediately became anxious: "How can that be? We agreed on it!"

Qi Suyin's expression darkened: "How dare you not listen to my words?"

Mi Cangyuan immediately cowered: "Alright, alright, alright, everything is up to you!"

The two thanked He Pingsheng profusely and then left.

When Mi Cangyuan reached the outside of the elixir shop, a message was transmitted via spiritual sense: "Little brother, that Grinding Dao Stone is of vital importance, and you must never mention it to anyone else, otherwise, a fatal disaster will arrive in an instant!"

He Pingsheng was horrified in his heart.

A stone, is it worth that much?

After a long time, He Pingsheng walked out of the elixir shop and looked at the end of the road.

Mi Cangyuan's figure was already gone.

He closed the elixir shop and then hurriedly ran to the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.

The elder on the first floor of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce was Ling Zhiwang.

At this moment, Ling Zhiwang was drinking tea in a private room on the first floor.

He Pingsheng barged in without any ceremony.

"Pfft..." Ling Zhiwang spat out a mouthful of tea: "Fellow Daoist Xu... can you knock on the door first?"

"Go, go, go... you all go out first!"

Several beautiful but disheveled women walked out of the private room one by one.

He Pingsheng sat down.

Ling Zhiwang stood up and closed the door himself, saying: "Brother, what is it?"

He Pingsheng said: "I want to ask you, do you have any news about heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"Not yet!" Ling Zhiwang shook his head.

He Pingsheng added: "I have another question I want to ask, which is... I saw in the 【Cultivation Miscellany】 that teleportation is a unique divine ability of Nascent Soul cultivators, and only when one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage can one command the power of the laws between heaven and earth!"

"Why is it that Mi Cangyuan can do it?"

Ling Zhiwang smiled, then slowly poured two cups of spirit tea: "Come... drink tea!"

The two drank two sips each.

Ling Zhiwang spoke with an arrogant expression: "That's right... generally speaking, when a cultivator reaches the peak of the Golden Core Stage, after swallowing the 【Breakthrough Pill】, they can break the core and form the infant, and at the same time, the spirit root transforms into a Dao root!"

"Once the Dao root grows, one can perceive the Dao laws between heaven and earth!"

"After comprehending the Dao laws, one can command the power of the rules between heaven and earth. For example, if one commands this spatial Dao law, one can teleport!"

"But... that's not entirely true!"

"Some people can grow a Dao root while still in the Golden Core Stage!"

"This kind of thing is called the 【Golden Core Dao Channel】."

He Pingsheng was shocked beyond measure: "Golden Core Dao Channel?"

"What is that?"

"How can one achieve it?"

"Is it innate?"

He urgently wanted to know.

Because the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage are like heaven and earth apart.

But seeing Mi Cangyuan's cross-rank combat, He Pingsheng's blood was boiling at the time.

He wanted it too.

This was too shocking.

"It varies!" Ling Zhiwang shook his head and drank another cup of spirit tea: "Some people are indeed born with it. Those with extraordinary talent can grow a Dao root after reaching the Golden Core!"

"But some people borrow external forces!"
