Chapter 496: Jin Kui Can Tong Qi

"Hummmmm…"

In He He Pingsheng's hand, a small flying sword appeared.

The flying sword was ordinary, bearing only four sealing layers.

A top-grade magic artifact!

In the cultivation world, magic artifacts were essentially the lowest-tier items; even Foundation Establishment cultivators often didn't use them, let alone Nascent Soul experts.

"Magic artifact?" The woman's face showed disdain: "You're a Jin Dan cultivator—do you only have this pitiful magic artifact?"

"What a pauper!"

"I can't believe how you even cultivated!"

Amid the woman's mockery, the magic artifact before He He Pingsheng suddenly expanded.

It transformed into a golden flying sword over ten zhang long, then shot forward with a hiss, slashing toward the opposing True Person Fuding.

True Person Fuding sneered: "Today, I'll show you the vast difference between Jin Dan and Nascent Soul!"

He didn't summon any defensive magic treasure—only lightly waved his hand and said: "Bind…"

Having entered Nascent Soul, he had begun to grasp rudimentary spatial laws—capable of instantaneous teleportation and suppressing opponents with his higher realm.

True Person Fuding's plan was simple: use spatial law to freeze He He Pingsheng's flying sword.

To crush the opponent's spirit psychologically.

But he miscalculated.

After unleashing spatial law, the flying sword remained utterly unaffected, continuing its slash toward him.

"No good…" True Person Fuding instantly understood everything: "So you're a Jin Dan channeler—you…"

Pfft…

Before he could finish, the flying sword had split his body in two.

Only a palm-sized glass-like Nascent Soul tried to flee, but He He Pingsheng instantly seized it.

One strike—instantly killed a Nascent Soul.

Not a single hesitation.

Seeing this, the woman could not fail to realize He He Pingsheng had been pretending to be weak. She trembled violently, nearly wetting herself, then immediately summoned spatial law to teleport away.

But she couldn't teleport.

The surrounding space was as if bound by an invisible force.

Her face turned deathly pale—she knew this could only mean the opponent's spatial law surpassed hers.

A Jin Dan cultivator's law force is stronger than mine?

How is that possible?

"Spare me… Brother cultivator, spare me… I'm wrong… I'm wrong…"

The captured True Person Fuding screamed endlessly, even spitting out several rings to He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng took the rings, then waved his hand and summoned the 【Ten Thousand Souls Banner】.

With a slight flick, dark energy surged forth.

True Person Fuding's living soul was sucked inside.

Yaozhidao ， Zhewanhunfanzhizhonghaiyouyigehuashenqideguitou ， Najiangyudeguihunzaikandaoshenghunjinruqizhongzhihou ， Zhijiekachakachajixia ， Jiubafudingzhenrendehunpogeitunle 。

Not only True Person Fuding!

In fact, the souls of Long Yuan, Ruo Kai, Wu Chen, and others already in the banner had all been devoured by the Nascent Soul Jiang Yu.

Now, the entire Ten Thousand Souls Banner held only Jiang Yu's soul.

"Do you recognize me?" He He Pingsheng turned to the woman, revealing his true face.

The woman stared at He He Pingsheng in terror: "I recognize you… I recognize you…"

"You—you—you…"

"Back when the Jin Dan fissure opened, you bought materials from me!"

"Mm," He He Pingsheng said. "That was years ago—I didn't expect you'd remember."

"Brother cultivator!" the woman said. "Spare me—I'll do anything for you, even become your slave!"

"I… I… I also know a little of the bedchamber arts…"

He He Pingsheng said: "I'm not interested in you—but I have two pieces of advice. I hope you listen."

The woman instantly perked up: "Speak!"

He He Pingsheng said: "Those who commit many injustices will inevitably destroy themselves. Back then, you didn't attack me—so you didn't die. Today, you attacked me—so this is your fate."

"Remember: Above every head, three feet, there are divine witnesses!"

"The Dao is perfectly impartial!"

"Yes yes yes! I'll remember your teachings—I'll never forget them for the rest of my life!" The woman's face was reverent, even bowing to kneel before He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng nodded: "Good. Remember it."

Then two spiritual nail-needles shot out, instantly shattering her spiritual sense.

He extracted her glass-like Nascent Soul, then used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to absorb her soul, before leaving.

Of course, before leaving, he burned the two Nascent Soul corpses to ashes.

Half an hour later, He He Pingsheng reappeared as a Qi Refining Stage Eleven disciple, returning to Zhenling Valley.

Back at his cultivation ground, he checked the array.

Hmm… no one had touched it.

Continue cultivation.

But before cultivating, he had a few things to do.

For instance, inventory the spoils.

After killing True Person Fuding and the woman, he'd acquired several rings—let's see what's inside.

Hmm… hiss hiss hiss…

As his spiritual sense swept through the rings, He He Pingsheng gasped in shock.

Holy hell!

Truly holy hell.

Strictly speaking, He He Pingsheng was not a pill alchemist.

He had hardly ever refined pills for others.

But True Person Fuding was different—he was a professional pill alchemist, having refined countless pills, and also engaged in killing to seize treasures—he was incredibly wealthy.

Especially in materials.

Materials for all kinds of pills were everywhere.

Over a hundred batches of fourth-rank 【Concentrated Dao Pill】 materials.

Damn, this is what real pill alchemists are rich in?

He He Pingsheng could hardly believe his eyes.

Besides these countless materials, he also saw several kinds of 【Law Origins】, vast quantities of spirit stones, and hundreds of jade slips.

Without exaggeration, the wealth inside True Person Fuding's rings could sustain a major trading guild.

Made it! Made it!

He He Pingsheng didn't bother with the wealth—he began flipping through the hundreds of jade slips.

As a pill alchemist, he must have written alchemical texts.

Quickly, he found one.

A jade slip titled 【Dao Zang Dan Lu】 came into view.

He scanned its contents—it recorded pill formulas from first-rank to fifth-rank.

Perfect!

Enhance it.

Throw it into the Treasure Basin!

The next morning, the jade slip had split into two.

First: 【Taiqing Golden Elixir Scripture】.

Quality: Top-grade!

Function: Contains one hundred and thirty-four methods for refining 【posterior spirit liquids】.

Second: 【Jin Kui Can Tong Qi】

Quality: Top-grade!

Function: Contains thirty-six thousand commonly used cultivation pill formulas, plus one million three hundred thirty-three thousand recorded spirit herbs.

Excellent!

Looking at these two treasures, He He Pingsheng was stunned.

He was stunned because the 【spirit liquids】 had a "posterior" classification.

What did that mean?

Could they be artificially prepared?

Is that really possible?

Let's see!
