Chapter 677

Whoosh...

The Silver Han Heavenly Shuttle swept quickly through the void.

Two people sat cross-legged on the flying boat: one was Zhou Qingmei, the other was Tingtong.

I don't know when, He Pingsheng suddenly appeared, his face flushed, and several mouthfuls of blood sprayed out involuntarily.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Seeing this scene, the two women hurried forward, shocked beyond words.

"How are you?" Zhou Qingmei hurriedly helped He Pingsheng up.

"Sigh..." He Pingsheng let out a deep sigh and said: "Sure enough, not everyone can subdue this Nine Heavens Profound Fire. I understand a bit now why that Body Integration Stage cultivator couldn't refine this Nine Heavens Profound Fire until he died!"

Difficult!

Very difficult!

He Pingsheng had just run into that magic treasure space, wanting to refine the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

As a result, he was almost burned to death by the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

Forget about refining this thing; even fusing a tiny bit of it was almost impossible.

Vomiting blood!

The feeling of having such a treasure in front of you but being unable to use it really makes one vomit blood.

"Then what to do?" Zhou Qingmei said: "This is a treasure we obtained with great difficulty. If it can't be refined, what use will it have in the future?"

"Could it be that you really have to wait until you reach the Mahayana Emperor Realm to refine it?"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Not necessarily. I already have some ideas. Let's return to the Zhu Que Imperial City first!"

The matter had been completed, and it was time to go back.

When He Pingsheng left, he had told Qiao Huizhu that he wouldn't be gone for too long.

But this departure had already lasted more than forty years!

As for how to refine this flame, He Pingsheng indeed had no better way, but he thought of a possibility: body refining.

Back when he was still in the Cultivation World, he had strengthened a body-refining technique and obtained two Heavenly Tier body-refining methods.

One was Nine Poisons Refining Golden Body, which had everything from the Qi Refining chapter to the Feathering chapter.

The second part was a technique named 【Bathing Fire Golden Body Art】.

Back then, He Pingsheng chose to practice 【Nine Poisons Refining Golden Body】 without thinking, because although Bathing Fire Golden Body Art was also a Heavenly Tier body-refining technique, this divine ability only had five chapters: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Soul Transformation.

So He Pingsheng abandoned Bathing Fire Golden Body Art.

Now, in order to refine this Nine Heavens Profound Fire, He Pingsheng wanted to pick up Bathing Fire Golden Body Art again.

If he practiced body refining with fire again, training himself to be able to withstand fire-attribute damage, then it would definitely be helpful for refining this Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

As for whether he could refine the 【Nine Heavens Profound Fire】 in one go by relying on this technique after finally mastering Bathing Fire Golden Body Art?

That, he didn't know.

But he had to try.

"Tingtong, you come and pilot the flying boat!" He Pingsheng handed the task of piloting the flying boat to Tingtong, then looked at Zhou Qingmei: "Qingmei, you go into seclusion and strive to comprehend the 【Spatial Wormhole】 divine ability as soon as possible."

Zhou Qingmei sat cross-legged in seclusion on this flying shuttle!

He Pingsheng was the same.

He didn't continue to refine the Heavenly Fire because that was a futile effort.

He waved his hand and took out a jade slip.

Array: Heavenly Moon Divine Array.

Now his array level had fallen far behind his cultivation level, so he had to improve it quickly.

Because since ascending to the Spirit Realm, He Pingsheng's array level hadn't improved.

About six months later, the Silver Han Flying Shuttle finally returned to the Zhu Que Imperial City!

Near the North Gate of the Zhu Que Imperial City, in a certain ordinary small courtyard.

Qiao Huizhu looked at He Pingsheng, her face full of longing.

"Greetings, Young Master!" Haocang happily bowed to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng was stunned: "Hey... Haocang... you damn... you..."

"Void Refinement?"

"You only returned eight years ago, right?"

Back when Zhou Qingmei reached Body Integration, he had Zhou Qingmei's clone and Haocang return to the Imperial City together.

Before leaving, he even refined a batch of 【Infant Transformation Pills】 for Haocang.

It had only been eight or nine years, and this fellow had actually broken through to Void Refinement?

"Hehehe..." Haocang chuckled and said: "Reporting to Young Master, this old servant returned here exactly eight years ago!"

"After returning, this old servant thickened my skin and asked the Saintess Nan Qiqi of the Zhu Que clan for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures to break through the Void Refinement Stage bottleneck, then broke through to the twelfth layer, and then, this old servant swallowed a top-tier 【Infant Transformation Pill】 and broke through to the first layer of the Void Refinement Stage!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

So that's how it was.

Putting it that way, Haocang breaking through to Void Refinement wasn't very abrupt.

"Greetings, Young Master!" Zhou Qingmei, wearing a black robe, also bowed to He Pingsheng.

Although she didn't become He Pingsheng's slave, her true body was He Pingsheng's slave, so naturally, this clone was also a slave.

"Go... sit inside!"

Everyone walked together to Qiao Huizhu's Daoist field and sat down in order of host and guest.

He Pingsheng scanned Qiao Huizhu with his spiritual sense, wanting to see what her cultivation base was. After seeing it, He Pingsheng felt even more uncomfortable.

Qiao Huizhu had actually reached the eleventh layer of the Soul Transformation Stage.

She had also reached a bottleneck.

"Husband, who is this young girl?" Qiao Huizhu's gaze was fixed on Tingtong.

He Pingsheng said: "You don't recognize her after she's grown up?"

"This is Tingtong..."

"Tingtong?" Qiao Huizhu opened her mouth wide in shock: "You, you, you... have you ascended?"

"Yes, Madam!" Tingtong obediently walked to Qiao Huizhu's side.

Qiao Huizhu happily took her hand and said: "That's truly great... I didn't expect you to have ascended!"

"By the way... who else has ascended?"

When Qiao Huizhu spoke, her eyes looked at He Pingsheng, and she said somewhat sourly: "That Su Zhenzhen, has she ascended too?"

He Pingsheng felt a wave of awkwardness and didn't know what to say.

Tingtong said: "Madam, when I ascended, the others hadn't ascended yet. Whether Madam Su has ascended, I don't know either!"

"Hmm!" Qiao Huizhu said: "I really want to see this sister!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." He Pingsheng coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject. He looked at Zhou Qingmei and asked: "Qingmei... I have a doubt!"

Zhou Qingmei understood and quickly bowed: "What doubt does the Young Master have?"

He Pingsheng said: "Look... you and your clone are now both at the Body Integration Stage cultivation base... what about later... what will be the final fate of this clone?"

He Pingsheng actually knew the answer to this question.

He had seen it in 【Spirit Realm Thousand Customs】, so he naturally knew the answer.

The reason he asked Zhou Qingmei again at this moment was entirely to change the subject.

Don't let Qiao Huizhu keep dwelling on the Su Zhenzhen issue.

"Oh..." Zhou Qingmei said: "If a clone has enough opportunity, it will practice together with the true body, break through together, and eventually reach the Mahayana Emperor Realm. If the luck is sufficient, it can even break through the Mahayana Emperor Realm?"

"Break through the Mahayana Emperor Realm?" Qiao Huizhu became interested: "That is to say, can it ascend?"

"No!" Zhou Qingmei shook her head and said: "A clone cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm, but in the end, it can become a Loose Immortal, roaming freely in this Spirit Realm, enjoying endless years!"
