Chapter 843: Daughter of Heaven

"You say!"

The woman looked at He Pingsheng, her eyes filled with anticipation.

He Pingsheng asked: "First, your materials aren't complete. To refine the 【Pure Karma Pill】, you're still missing at least one main ingredient!"

"Where am I supposed to get this 【Creation Immortal Light】?"

What is the Pure Karma Pill?

Simple: a pill that removes karmic debt.

Swallow one, and all karmic debt on your body is purged.

To be honest, before He Pingsheng consumed that Divine Pillar Pill, he too carried some karmic debt—but over the years, he never managed to refine a Pure Karma Pill, because the requirements are exceptionally strict.

First, the main ingredient!

The main ingredient is 【Creation Immortal Light】.

What is Creation Immortal Light?

It is the golden light of creation that descends from heaven after a cultivator survives a tribulation, instantly healing all physical and Dao-related injuries sustained during the tribulation.

But Creation Immortal Light is not something everyone possesses.

Only cultivators who endure the Seventh-Nine, Eighth-Nine, or Ninth-Nine Thunder Tribulations can obtain it.

For example, He Pingsheng has it.

But the problem is… Creation Immortal Light dissipates easily.

From the moment it falls until the cultivator absorbs it, there's only about ten breaths' time—how much you absorb depends on your ability; anything left unabsorbed vanishes into the heavens and earth.

Moreover, this substance cannot be stored.

So how do you use Creation Immortal Light to refine a pill?

Extremely difficult!

First, you must refine the pill while watching for the heavenly tribulation.

Because Creation Immortal Light is the final ingredient added during Pure Karma Pill refinement, you must begin refining in advance.

You start while someone else is undergoing their tribulation, timing it so that when the Creation Immortal Light descends, your refining process reaches its final stage.

Only then, after adding the Creation Immortal Light, does the pill become complete.

So it's very difficult.

And you get only one chance.

Absolutely no second chance!

"It's simple!" Luo Bingyao said: "I'm currently at Soul Transformation Level Twelve, about to undergo tribulation. When I do, you take the Creation Immortal Light right there!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "You're… a Seventh-Rank Destiny?"

Because to obtain Creation Immortal Light, you need at least Seventh-Rank Destiny.

"Seventh-Rank?" Luo Bingyao sneered: "Maybe… but you don't need to worry about that. Right now, the only part of me without karmic debt is my face. Can you guarantee you'll refine the pill?"

He Pingsheng said: "Refining the pill is no problem!"

"My second question: alchemists have rules—no rules, no order!"

"You have only one set of materials. After I refine the pill, what will you give me as payment?"

"What can I get?"

"And what quality do you require?"

He Pingsheng looked intently at Luo Bingyao.

Luo Bingyao said: "When refining the Pure Karma Pill, the timing to harvest Creation Immortal Light is fleeting!"

"Even if I gave you a hundred sets of materials, you could only use one—more would be useless!"

"Then let's do this: I want a supreme-grade pill!"

"Without a supreme-grade pill, I cannot purge my karmic debt!"

"If you can refine a supreme-grade pill, I'll take only one—the rest are all yours!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "First, I likely cannot refine a supreme-grade pill—but fortunately, I still have one drop of Nan Ke Immortal Spring. If I produce a superior-grade pill, adding the Nan Ke Immortal Spring will upgrade it to supreme-grade!"

"That's my plan."

As he spoke, He Pingsheng actually pulled out a jade vial: "See? This is the Nan Ke Immortal Spring!"

"But the problem is—I'm not only refining the pill for you, I'm also paying a huge cost. What do I get in return?"

Luo Bingyao frowned.

Originally, her plan was to take one pill, and give the remaining eleven to He Pingsheng.

But now He Pingsheng says he may not produce a supreme-grade pill, but can guarantee a superior-grade pill—and once he does, he'll use the Nan Ke Immortal Spring to upgrade it.

Luo Bingyao had never heard of the Nan Ke Immortal Spring, but she knew that if it could upgrade a pill, its value was obvious.

Now she didn't know what to do.

"What if… I give you two magic treasures… no, spiritual treasures?"

As she spoke, Luo Bingyao pulled out two spiritual treasures.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Forget it. I'm actually eager to challenge myself. If I really need to use the 【Nan Ke Immortal Spring】, we'll decide then!"

"I won't cheat you!"

"But there's a third issue!" He Pingsheng nodded toward the door: "Outside, there's a Body Integration Level Six guy watching you. And he doesn't seem friendly."

Luo Bingyao's face darkened: "Correct. He's my enemy."

"I killed his entire clan—that's how I earned this karmic debt!"

He Pingsheng sucked in a breath: Damn, he wiped out an entire clan.

But the man outside watching Luo Bingyao wasn't human—he was a dragon-like race.

"Our Luo family was once one of the most prominent clans in the Divine Thunder Emperor Realm. Our ancestors even produced a Mahayana Emperor who ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

"But later, we declined. This Water Dragon clan coveted our ancestral treasures and slaughtered our entire family when I was a child."

"Now I've returned the favor—I wiped out their entire clan."

"Unfortunately, this bastard has reached Body Integration Level Six—I can't beat him."

"But it doesn't matter. Once I reach Void Refinement, he won't be able to touch me…"

"Oh?" He Pingsheng smiled: "So confident? He's Body Integration Level Six!"

"Don't worry!" Luo Bingyao's eyes narrowed slightly: "I might still be able to slay him across a rank!"

He Pingsheng remembered how, at Nascent Soul Level Twelve, he had ambushed and slain the avatar of Ice Yi Daoist, crossing two major realms.

But after reaching Void Refinement, crossing major realms became far harder.

One level of cultivation, one heaven.

The higher the cultivation, the harder it is to cross realms.

Perhaps this woman doesn't yet understand that truth.

"I know there's an Ascension Platform in this city!" Luo Bingyao said. "It's designed for cultivators to undergo tribulation—just pay a fee."

"And in the Emperor City, my enemy won't dare attack."

"Once I reach Void Refinement, he won't be a threat."

"Fine!" He Pingsheng said: "Let me prepare. I need to study the 【Pure Karma Pill】 formula first. In three days, I'll accompany you to the Ascension Platform to refine the pill."

He Pingsheng not only needed to study the formula—he also needed to strengthen the materials.

"Stay hidden in my shop for now."

He Pingsheng settled Luo Bingyao, then entered the small room covered by a Fifth-Rank array.

It wasn't quite a cultivation ground.

But it was his alchemy chamber.
