Chapter 81: Green-Eyed White Toad

Fragrant, rich, and mellow!

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, feeling that the very air around him was fragrant.

This fragrance was like the scent of hundreds of spirit herbs mixed together, extremely mellow.

It also had a somewhat intoxicating quality.

He Pingsheng reached out, scooped up a drop of the golden nectar, and placed it into his mouth.

Boom—

Inside his mouth, it was as if an explosion had occurred.

It was not an explosion of energy, but an explosion of fragrance.

It was incredibly refreshing.

Before being strengthened, the bee nectar had been white, slightly sour, and carried a faint sweetness, but it had been particularly astringent to eat.

Now, that astringent taste was completely gone.

At the same time, as this drop of golden nectar flowed from his throat into his abdomen, an endless amount of energy was released.

He Pingsheng did not know how to describe this energy.

He also did not know the quality of this golden nectar.

But he had a strange feeling that he didn't even need a full drop; even swallowing one-tenth of a drop would be enough to refill one of his depleted dantians with spiritual power.

It was just that exaggerated.

"Too good!" Looking at the two large gourds of golden bee nectar before him, He Pingsheng smiled: "In the future, when fighting others, I won't have to worry about running out of spiritual power at all!"

"Hehehehe..."

He couldn't help but laugh.

Putting away the gourds, He Pingsheng took a deep breath, his gaze falling once again upon the Ju Bao Pen.

Two shields.

One silver, one cyan.

He reached out and took the silver shield into his hand.

As his spiritual sense swept over the shield, its name was revealed.

Name: Profound Xuan Bing Dun!

Grade: Top-tier magic treasure.

It possessed four layers of restrictions.

Having strengthened so many precious artifacts, He Pingsheng had basically figured out the rules of the Ju Bao Pen.

Generally speaking, it would not strengthen items beyond their grade.

For example, if it were a magic treasure, it would remain a magic treasure after strengthening.

It simply upgraded it from low-tier to top-tier.

For example, if it were a Qi Gathering Pill, it would remain a Qi Gathering Pill after strengthening; it would not become a Spirit Gathering Pill, let alone a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Profound Xuan Bing Dun He Pingsheng held in his hand belonged to the 【Ice】 attribute.

Once deployed, it formed a protective shield made of profound ice, which was exceptionally hard.

It could block almost all attacks from Qi Condensation Stage disciples.

Ice belongs to the water element.

Therefore, when using it, one could perfectly utilize it by drawing upon the water spiritual power in one's water-attribute dantian.

The only pity was that this item had four layers of restrictions; to use it with ease, one had to refine it completely.

And to fully refine it, it was almost impossible without a month's time.

Therefore, although he now had the Profound Xuan Bing Dun, he could not use it yet.

Putting away the Profound Xuan Bing Dun, the second small cyan shield appeared in He Pingsheng's hand.

Wood attribute!

Name: Spirit Wood Shield.

Grade: Top-tier magic treasure.

It possessed four layers of restrictions.

Same thing.

He Pingsheng put this small shield away as well.

He stood up, walked out of the array, closed the array, and then collected the array materials.

Several days later, He Pingsheng stood beside a clear blue pool.

There was a bloody gash on his forehead!

A minor injury, nothing serious.

He had taken off his soaked Daoist robe; at this moment, he was bare-chested, staring intently at the opposite side of the clear blue pool.

Opposite him was a cliff.

A spirit plant grew horizontally out of the cliff; the position where this spirit plant grew was extremely unique, as it was almost entirely submerged in a crevice of the mountain, and if one didn't look carefully, one really wouldn't see it.

It was only by chance that He Pingsheng had spotted this spirit plant.

The spirit plant was first-tier.

It bore over a dozen fruits.

The fruits presented two colors, with each fruit being golden on one side and silver on the other.

He Pingsheng hadn't recognized this item originally, but before entering the Mystic Realm, he had heard Zhao Linger and Xu Changan mention a type of body-refining immortal fruit called 【Gold-Silver Peach】.

Based on their description, this plant must be the Gold-Silver Peach.

The pool was not very wide, only about ten-plus zhang across.

He Pingsheng could jump across it without relying on any other external force.

This was not difficult.

What was difficult was that there was a white poisonous toad in this pool.

Just a moment ago, He Pingsheng had leaped up without any precautions, intending to go to the opposite bank to pick the Gold-Silver Peaches.

As a result, a white poisonous toad had suddenly lunged out of the water.

Caught off guard, He Pingsheng was pierced by the toad's tongue and fell into the water.

If not for his miraculous 【Hundred Poisons Immunity】, he should have been lying at the bottom of the pool by now, becoming the toad's meal.

Thinking about it, he felt lingering fear, and a chill ran down his spine.

The path of cultivation was truly incomparably dangerous.

"Rise..."

He Pingsheng gave a light shout and leaped into the air again, heading toward the opposite bank.

However, this time, he was prepared.

Splash...

Just as his body flew to the center of the pool, the clear green water surface was suddenly pierced.

A red tongue, like a poisonous arrow, pierced the water surface and stabbed toward He Pingsheng.

"Open..."

This time, He Pingsheng was on guard; the moment he saw the movement in the water, he cast a metal-attribute spell: Heavenly Gang Dao.

The Heavenly Gang Dao expanded, immediately forming a spherical golden light membrane around He Pingsheng's body.

It was thick and bright.

Pfft...

The fleshy tongue stabbed onto the light membrane but did not pierce through; it was blocked.

After all, the white toad in the water was only a Qi Condensation Stage demonic beast and had not reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Splash...

The poisonous toad under the water jumped directly out of the water this time.

He Pingsheng finally saw the true face of this white toad.

White!

From head to toe, it was pure white.

Only its pair of small eyes were a clear green.

A very strange feeling!

The moment the Green-Eyed White Toad jumped out of the water, it suddenly opened its mouth wide.

That fleshy tongue turned into a poisonous arrow again and stabbed toward He Pingsheng.

But it was useless.

Not only was the protective shield outside He Pingsheng's body not pierced, but he also used the force of this stab to quickly land on the cliff opposite.

"Hehe..."

He Pingsheng chuckled!

A beast is just a beast!

It only had brute force and no wisdom.

He Pingsheng landed on the cliff, waved his hand to pick all thirteen 【Gold-Silver Peaches】 from the tree, and then pushed off with his feet, flying across the pool again.

Perhaps He Pingsheng's actions had completely enraged the white toad.

Two huge water columns suddenly erupted from the pool.

Two Green-Eyed White Toads of the same size leaped out of the water and landed on the ground almost simultaneously.

Swish...

Swish swish...

Their tongues changed from red to a clear green, stabbing fiercely toward He Pingsheng.

The clear green tongues turned into poisonous arrows.

There was even green poisonous gas emerging from them.

From far away, one could smell a fishy stench.

He Pingsheng dared not be negligent, constantly twisting and dodging the attacks of the two demonic beasts.

"Fall..."

He shouted loudly!

A golden phantom, twelve feet high, landed on the ground.
