Chapter 585: Ice Jade Loquat Paste

This way, please!

Your room is on the eighty-fourth floor—please go up to the eighty-fourth floor!

On the magnificent, gilded structure, He He Pingsheng was as tiny as a pea.

Looking at the enormous building before him, he felt it must be the largest house he had ever seen.

No…

It should be called the largest building.

The two of them flew up to the eighty-fourth floor.

There, on the eighty-fourth floor, they found their rooms.

He He Pingsheng's room and Hao Cang's room were right next to each other.

"This is good…" After entering the room, He He Pingsheng looked around his quarters.

Not big!

About two zhang long, one zhang wide.

Only one door—no windows.

Three sides were solid wooden walls.

These walls were built from spiritual wood and had no defensive function, so if you wish to reside here, it's best to set up an array on them.

"Since our rooms are side by side, I'll set up a fourth-rank array and expand it to cover both our rooms!"

"One array is enough!"

Hao Cang said: "Set up a fifth-rank one—I happen to have a fifth-rank 【Dual Soul Array】 array disc right here!"

"What?" He He Pingsheng was slightly startled: "You have a fifth-rank array disc?"

"Yes!" Hao Cang nodded and pulled out a black array disc.

"Hey!" He He Pingsheng immediately beamed: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Fine, go back now—I'll lock myself in and study this disc!"

At his current level, He He Pingsheng could not yet set up a fifth-rank array.

But with a fifth-rank array disc, it became much simpler.

After all, over ninety percent of the array's work was already completed on the disc.

Back in the cultivation world, he had used a fifth-rank array disc to set up a 【Primordial Time Array】 at the Grand Void Gate.

No rush!

He He Pingsheng still took out his fourth-rank 【Spirit-Sealing Array】 and fourth-rank 【Spirit Sense Alert Array】 discs and began setting up arrays in the room.

About two hours later, the arrays activated, enveloping both his and Hao Cang's chambers.

A fourth-rank array could block Nascent Soul cultivators' spiritual sense from probing in.

But it couldn't stop Soul Transformation cultivators.

If a Soul Transformation cultivator's spiritual sense reached inside, the alert array would trigger.

Besides, this entire ship carried a million cultivators—who would spend all day scanning your room?

He He Pingsheng didn't think he was special.

Boom… boom… boom…

Shortly after He He Pingsheng completed his array, the ship shuddered violently, then slowly rose vertically from the ground.

Higher and higher.

When it reached above three layers of white clouds, the massive immortal vessel began slowly gliding forward—though its speed was slow, it kept accelerating.

Constantly accelerating.

After accelerating continuously for two hours, the ship's speed reached an unimaginable level—over a hundred times faster than the flying vessel of Prince Prince Tianyu.

At this point, the ship had left the Imperial City.

He He Pingsheng extended his spiritual sense outward.

On the entire ship, among the million cultivators, nearly everyone had set up arrays in their temporary cultivation chambers.

He He Pingsheng did not pry into others' arrays; instead, he sent his spiritual sense to the ship's front control room.

Inside the control room were the officers responsible for piloting the ship.

He had assumed at least a Void Refinement cultivator would be in charge—but there wasn't one.

Four people operated the ship—all were Soul Transformation cultivators.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

Though the cultivators aboard were low in cultivation, a million of them together formed an overwhelming force—even Body Integration cultivators would dare not challenge them.

So there was no need to assign high-level cultivators to escort the vessel.

Seeing that the official personnel were merely Soul Transformation cultivators, He He Pingsheng relaxed and quietly dropped Hao Cang's array disc into the Treasure Basin.

One day later, the disc was strengthened into two.

Still fifth-rank.

But their quality had improved.

Higher-quality array discs meant stronger defense.

Two array discs!

And they were 【Dual Soul Arrays】.

What was a 【Dual Soul Array】?

Simple—it merged the 【Spirit-Sealing Array】 and the 【Spirit Sense Alert Array】 into one.

One array, two functions!

Perfect.

Inside his fourth-rank array, He He Pingsheng set up the fifth-rank 【Dual Soul Array】.

It was somewhat complex.

It took him three days to complete.

Of course, that was because it was his first time—next time, with practice, he could finish it in less than a day.

With this fifth-rank array's defense, even Soul Transformation cultivators' spiritual sense could not penetrate.

Inside the 【Spirit-Sealing Array】, a secondary alert array was attached.

If a Void Refinement cultivator's spiritual sense broke through the array, the inner alert array would sound.

With this array's protection, He He Pingsheng used the Treasure Basin even more freely.

Step one: Strengthen the materials!

First, he took out the ingredients for brewing 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】 and placed them in the Treasure Basin for strengthening.

One portion per day.

After strengthening, he immediately began refining the 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】.

First batch failed.

Though unsuccessful, the spirit liquid didn't explode—it was refined into waste liquid.

Second batch!

Wasted!

Third batch—success!

Fourth batch—success, low-grade!

Then He He Pingsheng refined sixteen batches in a row.

After the sixteen batches of loquat paste were made, he placed them in the Treasure Basin for strengthening.

Total: thirty-two batches.

Though called a spirit liquid, the loquat paste was, as its name suggested, a thick, viscous substance of red and black hues.

Once a drop was extracted, it needed to be encased in an ice shell formed by ice-affinity magic power—only then was it called 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】.

One batch yielded roughly a hundred pellets.

Thirty-two batches meant three thousand two hundred pellets.

Each pellet, when swallowed, instantly restored a Soul Transformation cultivator's depleted dantian.

He He Pingsheng bottled the finished 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】 and stored it away.

This stuff was precious.

Though it couldn't extend lifespan, if auctioned, it would be fiercely contested by Soul Transformation cultivators.

It would also be welcomed at future trade fairs.

After finishing everything, He He Pingsheng called Hao Cang over from the adjacent room.

"Master!" Hao Cang stood respectfully before him.

"Hmm!" He He Pingsheng nodded and handed him about a hundred pellets of 【Ice Jade Loquat Paste】: "This is something I just refined—take this vial."

He then briefly explained the item's function.

Hao Cang was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

"Without you, Hao Cang would never have owned such a high-end treasure in this lifetime!"

"Wah… you're too kind to me, Master!"

Hao Cang's eyes were red.

Truly.

Hao Cang spoke truly now.

Because since following He He Pingsheng, he had never been enslaved by He He Pingsheng; on the contrary, he had gained many benefits.
