Chapter 850: Trouble at the Door (Sixth Update)

He Pingsheng had heard of this thing called the Lightning-Avoiding Pill.

In his 【Golden Casket Participation Agreement】, there was a pill formula for the Lightning-Avoiding Pill.

But the problem was, this was a seventh-tier pill.

For him to directly refine a high-tier one was not easy.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand!" Daoist Elder Cangqiong smiled and said: "It's not that I require all the pills to be refined into high-tier, but there must be at least two high-tier ones!"

"This... should be no problem, right?"

"I've already inquired around; among the pill refiners on this street who refine high-tier pills, you count as one!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Shouldn't be a big problem. Have you prepared all the materials?"

Among the materials for this Lightning-Avoiding Pill, there is a material called 【Golden Origin Qi】, which is the main ingredient.

Because metal overcomes wood, metal-attribute aura or origin also has a restraining effect on lightning-attribute power.

The so-called Lightning-Avoiding Pill takes the meaning of the five elements overcoming each other.

Swallowing one when fighting an opponent of the same rank can weaken the opponent's attack power by thirty percent.

"Have, have, have!" Daoist Elder Cangqiong took out five jade boxes.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Not enough... five portions of materials can only yield the most ordinary mid-tier ones. If you want high-tier, you need ten portions of materials!"

This is the rule.

To get good quality, you must give more.

"This..." Daoist Elder Cangqiong said: "Materials are hard to come by; these five portions are already all I could scrape together!"

"How about this: although there are only five portions of materials, I don't want the whole furnace of pills. After this Lightning-Avoiding Pill is refined, I will only take two high-tier ones. As for the rest, no matter what quality they are, I won't ask about them; they'll all be yours. How about that?"

Daoist Elder Cangqiong looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng didn't speak.

He added: "Fellow Daoist Taixuzi, I beg you, please help me out. If I gain something this time, I will definitely thank you for your great kindness!"

He Pingsheng smiled: "Great kindness is not necessary, two high-tier ones are no problem!"

"Wait here for two days; I still need to comprehend the pill formula!"

"Good, good, good!" Daoist Elder Cangqiong was overjoyed when he saw He Pingsheng agree.

He Pingsheng took the five portions of materials and walked into his small hut.

After arriving in the hut, he secretly sent one portion of the materials into the Ju Bao Pen to strengthen it, while taking out the Golden Casket Participation Agreement to read and study the refining method of the 【Lightning-Avoiding Pill】.

One day later, that portion of materials was strengthened into two.

He had also more or less finished reading the pill formula.

He Pingsheng took out one portion of materials and began refining pills.

A seventh-tier pill is not easy to refine, and this was also He Pingsheng's first time refining it.

First time refining a seventh-tier, first time refining a Lightning-Avoiding Pill.

So, unsurprisingly, the first furnace directly resulted in twelve waste pills.

He wasn't discouraged, but threw the twelve waste pills into the Ju Bao Pen, observing the changes in the pill quality while continuing to comprehend the Lightning-Avoiding Pill formula.

One day later, the waste pills were strengthened, totaling twenty-four.

Except for two that were high-tier, the remaining twenty-two were all top-tier.

He Pingsheng didn't go out immediately, but took out the materials and refined the Lightning-Avoiding Pill for the second time.

This time it was refined successfully, not waste pills.

But the quality was only mid-tier!

Six mid-tier, six low-tier!

Not bad!

From this perspective, even without this Ju Bao Pen, He Pingsheng could already refine seventh-tier pills.

Refining pills above his rank, he had achieved it.

Moreover, if he continued to refine them later, as his proficiency improved, he estimated that the quality of the pills should be able to improve a bit more.

Throwing the twelve pills just refined into the Ju Bao Pen, He Pingsheng walked out of the small hut.

No more refining.

Because there was no need!

"Fellow Daoist Taixuzi, how is it?" Daoist Elder Cangqiong looked expectant.

He Pingsheng took out a porcelain bottle: "Here... your things are done!"

After Daoist Elder Cangqiong got the Lightning-Avoiding Pills, he laughed out loud: "Got it... two is just right, one for the main body and one for the clone, hahahaha..."

"Little brother... just you wait!"

"Big brother's wealth is coming soon!"

"Once I'm wealthy, I will definitely repay you!"

"Leaving!"

Daoist Elder Cangqiong patted He Pingsheng on the shoulder and then strode away.

He Pingsheng was left feeling completely baffled.

After Daoist Elder Cangqiong left, He Pingsheng continued to comprehend the 【Heavenly Talisman Dao Treasury】.

While comprehending, he also drew talismans.

After the fourth-tier talismans were drawn, he used the Ju Bao Pen to strengthen them; not only did the quality improve, but the quantity also doubled.

Finally, they were put in the shop for sale.

That's right, the pill shop began selling talismans.

"Is this Great Master Taixuzi?"

One day, a low-tier cultivator came into the shop.

He Pingsheng looked up and saw through the cultivator's cultivation base with a casual glance: Foundation Establishment Stage!

Good fellow!

What is a Foundation Establishment Stage doing in my shop?

It wasn't that he looked down on low-tier disciples, but there were simply no low-tier pills in his shop.

There weren't even fourth-tier pills for the Nascent Soul Stage; the lowest were fifth or sixth-tier.

"What's the matter?" He Pingsheng said: "This seat is Taixuzi!"

"Greetings, Great Master Taixuzi!" The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator respectfully took out a jade slip and said: "Someone at the city gate hired me to deliver this jade slip to you!"

"As for what it's about, I don't know either!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator placed the jade slip in front of He Pingsheng, trembling.

Sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

He Pingsheng looked at the content of the jade slip, and his face immediately turned ashen.

Thump...

The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator knelt directly on the ground: "Great Master, I was just greedy for a moment and took this job. I... I... please, Great Master, don't vent your anger on me..."

He Pingsheng waved his hand: "You go, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage disciple quickly ran away.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Seeing Feng Wu walked over.

He Pingsheng said: "Someone kidnapped Linger, asking me to go over and negotiate!"

"What?" Seeing Feng Wu was immediately furious: "How dare they kidnap the Young Master's disciple! Where are they? I'll go take a look..."

"You just watch the shop well!" He Pingsheng waved his hand, not letting Seeing Feng Wu intervene, then teleported out of the Imperial City and instantly turned into a stream of light and left.

After flying for about two hours, he finally arrived at the location agreed upon on the jade slip.

This was the summit of a desolate mountain.

In the void, there were three Body Integration Stage cultivators, each guarding one side.

He Pingsheng's figure also stopped in the void, his spiritual sense instantly sweeping out, asking: "This seat is Taixuzi, where is my disciple?"

"Hmph..." someone snorted coldly: "A mere Void Refinement Stage, and you dare to call yourself 'this seat'?"

"Ridiculous!"

"We went to your shop before, but unfortunately, fighting is not allowed in the city, so we could only invite you here?"

"That little bitch Zhao Linger is your disciple, right?"

"Sorry, your little bitch disciple caused trouble and offended us!"

"As her master, you naturally cannot shirk the blame!"

"You shall bear this karma!"
