Chapter 854: The Yudao Elixir is Complete (10 Updates)

What is this?

Elder Dong did not touch the porcelain bottle He Pingsheng had sent over; he merely glanced at it and asked.

He Pingsheng explained patiently: "Inside is one drop of seventh-grade spiritual liquid."

"Seventh-grade spiritual liquid?" Elder Dong's eyebrows shot up: "Such high quality? What is its effect?"

He Pingsheng said: "This is called 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea】. It is a seventh-grade spiritual liquid—and the finest quality."

"Just one drop can instantly restore the dried-out dantian of a Body Integration cultivator!"

"This…?" Elder Dong's hand trembled as he reached out and picked up the bottle: "It really has such power?"

"This is excellent! In a critical moment, it's equivalent to a second life!"

"But its value is still modest, younger brother… you may not know that among seventh-grade heavenly treasures, many can restore internal magic power. And since most cultivators have body doubles, the life-saving efficacy of this item is significantly diminished!"

"So, one drop of this spiritual liquid likely isn't enough to exchange for our Society's 【Wangyouzi】…"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "Don't rush—let me finish."

"Besides instantly refilling the dried-out dantian of a Body Integration cultivator, this Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea has one minor additional effect!"

"For a Body Integration cultivator consuming it for the first time, it grants an additional thousand years of lifespan—and this lifespan increase does not conflict with other heavenly treasures that extend life!"

"Holy shit!" Elder Dong's hand shook violently at these words, nearly dropping the bottle.

A thousand-year lifespan increase for a Body Integration cultivator?

That's too outrageous!

Though by Body Integration, even the weakest humans have ten thousand years of lifespan, gaining a thousand more is still absurdly powerful.

The key is, it doesn't conflict with other lifespan-extending heavenly treasures.

That means you can still use other lifespan-boosting items.

Effects stack.

Outrageous!

Absolutely outrageous!

Now, looking at this item, it was entirely different.

"Well?" He Pingsheng asked: "Now, Elder Dong, is my one drop of Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea worth your 【Wangyouzi】?"

"Worth it, worth it! But please wait a moment—I'll go fetch the Elders to verify whether its quality matches your claim!"

"I'm not doubting your word, Elder, but our Society has its rules—please understand!"

He Pingsheng said: "Go ahead, examine it."

Elder Dong took the bottle and walked out.

After about an incense stick's time, Elder Dong returned with a smile and handed He Pingsheng a small jade box, no larger than a palm: "Brother Taixu, look—this is the 【Wangyouzi】 you requested…"

"Er… Brother Taixu, may I ask a side question? I recall you once purchased some 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Seeds】 from our Society. Is this Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea something you refined yourself from those seeds?"

Elder Dong stared expectantly at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng smiled: "Yes."

There was no need to hide it.

Besides, now that his cultivation was strong, he no longer needed to conceal such things.

At Level Eleven of Void Refinement, a cultivator is rarely the meal on someone else's table anymore.

"Impressive!" Elder Dong raised his thumb: "Just now, one of our Elders, well-traveled and knowledgeable, said no formula for 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea】 exists in the world. So your formula must be an ancient one!"

He Pingsheng: "Ancient formula… ancient formula… hahaha… Elder Dong, I have urgent matters—I can't chat further. I'll visit again another day!"

With that, He Pingsheng left directly and returned to his shop.

As soon as he entered, he heard the voice of the Skyward Daoist.

"I'll tell you—there are ten divine thunderstorms in heaven… no—actually, there are ten true thunderstorms!"

"In the cultivation world, there are ten true thunderstorms. This 【All-Heavenly True Thunder】 is just one of them—and the first!"

"Understand?"

"Besides this All-Heavenly True Thunder, there are Colorless True Thunder, Heavenly Principle True Thunder, Earthly Draft True Thunder…"

The Skyward Daoist was spouting saliva everywhere!

Feng Wu sat beside him, suffering in silence.

"You're back so soon?" The Skyward Daoist hopped over with a grin and asked cautiously: "Younger brother, did you get it… the 【Wangyouzi】?"

He Pingsheng glanced at him: "Relax—I've got it."

"Wait two days."

"I need to study the elixir formula before I can refine it."

With that, he ignored the Skyward Daoist entirely and retreated to his small room to begin seclusion.

He wasn't lying—he did need to study the formula.

After all, he had never refined a seventh-grade 【Yudao Elixir】 before.

But it didn't matter—as long as he could produce duds.

On the first day, he meditated on the formula.

He also strengthened the elixir ingredients in the Treasure Basin.

One set of ingredients turned into two sets of supreme-grade materials.

On the second day, He Pingsheng began refining immediately.

The first batch succeeded.

But all were low-grade.

No matter—strengthen them!

He placed the twelve low-grade Yudao Elixirs into the Treasure Basin, and they rapidly multiplied into twenty-four supreme-grade ones.

He Pingsheng didn't bother with a second batch; he took one supreme-grade Yudao Elixir and walked out through the back courtyard.

The Skyward Daoist, who had been pacing anxiously, spotted the supreme-grade Yudao Elixir and lunged to grab it—but He Pingsheng slapped his hand away: "Don't rush…"

"I've made the elixir for you!"

"Ah, ah, ah…" The Skyward Daoist beamed with flattery: "You're the most skilled alchemist I've ever met—you've never disappointed me… incredible, incredible! From now on, I'll only come to you for refining!"

"Tell me," He Pingsheng cut straight to the point: "Where is the All-Heavenly True Thunder?"

"If you lie to me, heaven and earth will not forgive you!"

"I understand, I understand!" The Skyward Daoist raised his hand toward heaven: "Heavenly Dao, if I deceive you about the location of the All-Heavenly True Thunder, may I die beneath nine thunderbolts!"

After swearing the oath, the Skyward Daoist whispered the location to He Pingsheng.

"Brother Taixu, the All-Heavenly True Thunder resides within a great mountain. In that mountain grows a colossal ancient tree, whose root system is extraordinarily developed, plunging ten thousand zhang underground to draw out the primal source of lightning and fuse with itself!"

"Daily, thunder crackles upon this divine tree—this is what attracted the All-Heavenly True Thunder's attention!"

"As for the exact location of the divine tree, I cannot say precisely."

"But I will take you there."

"Whoever claims the divine thunder, let fate decide!"

"Now, can you give me the elixir?"

He Pingsheng asked: "What kind of tree is it?"

The Skyward Daoist replied: "A five-needle pine."

As promised, ten updates delivered. No more drafts left. Tomorrow's update will be slightly delayed. Wishing you all a pleasant life, hehehe…
