Chapter 876: Three-Seven Split

"I'm not going!"

"I'm not going!"

"Young friend, you should recognize me!"

The white-haired old man chuckled: "Back when you were trapped somewhere, I came to help set up an eighth-rank Spirit-Sealing Array!"

"Don't you remember?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes, I recall now—it was you!"

"Mm!" the elder said: "I'm human too, named Liu Molin. My cultivation isn't great, but I love studying arrays!"

He Pingsheng said: "Don't say that—your cultivation is already quite impressive. Eleven layers of Body Integration; if you break through the bottleneck, you can enter the Mahayana Emperor Realm!"

"Sigh!"

Liu Molin shook his head: "It's too late… Three thousand years ago, I was lured by the Heavenly Yuan Thunder Emperor's Red Feather Wheat and agreed to set up an array for him—then I was imprisoned for three thousand years, and I never even saw the Red Feather Wheat!"

"Sigh…"

"Even if the Red Feather Wheat were right in front of me now, what good would it do?"

"I have only a dozen years left before my lifespan ends!"

"To reach the Mahayana Emperor Realm, besides breaking the bottleneck, I need the 【Great Creation Pill】. Where can I find it?"

Liu Molin said: "So I've come back. If you don't mind, I'll spend my remaining dozen years setting up a few grand arrays for you—this will repay your life-saving grace… Honestly, your life-saving grace means little to me; what matters is that you killed the Heavenly Yuan Thunder Emperor and avenged me!"

"Now I can die in peace!"

"I see!" He Pingsheng said: "Then… I don't need any arrays!"

"Here, rest for a bit!"

"I'll see if I can find the Red Feather Wheat!"

Red Feather Wheat is an eighth-rank heavenly treasure; consuming it can break the Body Integration bottleneck.

He Pingsheng took out the Heavenly Yuan Thunder Emperor's ring and examined it.

To his surprise, he actually found a packet of Red Feather Wheat.

Red Feather Wheat looked roughly the size of ordinary rice grains, each grain bearing a pair of red, wing-like appendages—hence the name 【Red Feather Wheat】.

But eating just one grain won't work.

For most people, you need at least a hundred grains to break the Body Integration bottleneck.

He Pingsheng pulled out the packet and said: "There really is Red Feather Wheat…"

"Comrade Liu Dao, wait a moment!"

"I have something better!"

As he spoke, He Pingsheng handed him a drop of 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea】: "Consume this, and it will grant you a thousand years of lifespan!"

"A thousand years is enough for you to break through!"

"With the right fortune, our human race will gain another Mahayana Emperor!"

"What?" Liu Molin trembled violently, his hands shaking as he took the porcelain vial, then rubbed his cloudy eyes: "It… can add a thousand years to my lifespan?"

"Thank you, thank you… I won't refuse!"

Without hesitation, Liu Molin swallowed the Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea in one gulp.

The next instant, a radiant glow spread over his entire body.

When he looked again, the old man seemed less aged, slightly younger.

"This…" Liu Molin stared at himself in disbelief: "It really added a thousand years to my lifespan?"

"Mm!" He Pingsheng said: "Calm your emotions first, then wait a few days… I'll give you the Red Feather Wheat later."

With that, He Pingsheng returned to his small hut and casually tossed the packet of 【Red Feather Wheat】 into the Treasure Basin.

Now came the waiting.

While waiting, He Pingsheng didn't idle—he examined the Heavenly Yuan Thunder Emperor's ring again.

The wealth inside was indeed substantial.

But high-rank items were scarce.

The only thing He Pingsheng found truly worthwhile was his 【Heavenly Cage】.

Yet the ring contained many eighth-rank heavenly treasures.

Among them were two essential main ingredients for brewing the 【Great Creation Pill】: 【Emperor Pine Mushroom】 and 【Purple Gold Immortal Eggplant】.

No ready-made Great Creation Pill was present!

I wonder if these two main ingredients overlap with the ones Jiang Chen possesses?

If they don't overlap, then all ingredients for the 【Great Creation Pill】 are complete.

One day later, the first item in the Treasure Basin was enhanced.

The 【Nirvana Divine Stone】 from the Stone Platform Stairway, obtained from the Phoenix Clan, was enhanced by He Pingsheng.

It split into two pieces, larger and upgraded to supreme quality.

Without hesitation, He Pingsheng tossed both divine stones into the 【Hongmeng Purple Gold Staff】 to be consumed.

Several days later, everything inside the Treasure Basin had been enhanced.

The upper and lower shells of the tortoise shell were enhanced into two, their quality improved, then fused into a single complete tortoise shell.

Needless to say, its defensive power was now even stronger.

The Nanke Immortal Spring: two drops became four, quality unchanged.

The worn-out array plate became intact and split into two.

First one!

Name: Instant Time Array.

Rank: Eighth-rank Supreme.

Effect: Once activated, the array alters the flow of time within, up to tenfold. But if a cultivator enters, their biological age accelerates along with time.

Meaning: Lifespan is consumed according to the array's accelerated time.

This…

Not bad!

But unsuitable for cultivation.

Still, placing the Treasure Basin inside would be excellent.

The Treasure Basin's enhancement efficiency would increase tenfold.

Previously, it could enhance one pill per day; now, one night inside equals ten nights, allowing ten enhancements.

Perfect!

Second array plate.

Also pitch-black, covered in golden time runes.

Name: Hundred-Collect Heavenly Light Array.

Rank: Eighth-rank Supreme!

Effect: When activated, it absorbs time Dao laws from the void and condenses them into Time Essence.

He Pingsheng was overjoyed.

This was perfect.

With this, future comprehension of Time Dao would be twice as efficient!

He Pingsheng pulled out two purple talismans.

The two talismans were identical.

They were enhanced versions of the 【Fifty-Fifty】 talisman given by Master Wang Dun.

He picked one at random and sent his spiritual sense into it.

Name: Three-Seven Split!

This…

Just seeing the name, He Pingsheng nearly burst out laughing.

Holy hell, it can be enhanced like this?

Fifty-Fifty became Three-Seven Split?

Keep reading.

Name: Three-Seven Split Talisman!

Rank: Eighth-rank Supreme!

Effect: Upon activation, it binds to a target unit. After binding, combat power is split 3: between the two parties, randomly determined. Binding is permanent.

Huh?

Holding the talisman, He Pingsheng froze.

What does this mean?

Random 3: split?

So if I activate it, I might get 70% and the target 30%, or I might get 30% and the target 70%?

This…

That's brutal!
