Chapter 79: Jing Yao: I Have a New Pill!

Jing Yao’s words killed the air.

The gods of Taiwei Yuan held their breath, silent.

“Chatterbox Mu” Zhenyuan seemed to have truly turned into wood, sitting motionless, utterly still.

“Only something even more outrageous can defeat the outrageous. It’s been so long since I last came to Taiwei Yuan—still the same familiar feeling!” thought Taiyi, relogging under his brother’s account.

He looked up at the dome, gazing at the swirling stars within, lost in thought.

Xiang Xuanqing rested his hand under his chin, eyes deep.

Luo Hou leaned against his divine throne, eyes closed, cultivating his spirit.

The other Supreme Lords all lowered their heads, admiring the patterns on the table.

Jing Yao, the Supreme Lord, seemed oblivious to the strange atmosphere; he cheerfully declared, “Dao You Ji Du once said, ‘Silence is gold’—so I’ll take that as everyone’s tacit approval!”

“When Taiwei Yuan adjourns, I’ll give each of you one!”

“If you think that’s not enough, I’ll work hard after returning and prepare a whole furnace of pills for each of you!”

A whole furnace of pills?

One for everyone?!

Are you this prolific now?!

At these words, everyone nearly cracked.

All the gods stared in shock at Jing Yao, the Supreme Lord.

In past experience, one pill could kill you—now you’re giving us a whole furnace each? Are we even supposed to survive?!

“Dao You, there’s truly no need to go through such hardship.”

【Star of Age Supreme Lord】Fuxi broke the silence, looking at Jing Yao and gently advising: “Primordial spiritual materials are hard to gather, and pill refining consumes immense time and energy—you mustn’t sacrifice yourself for our sake…”

“Not hard, not a sacrifice,” Jing Yao shook his head.

“Yes, you are! You are suffering!”

[Star of Chen] Supreme Lord Chen Xing stared firmly at Jing Yao, forcing a smile onto his face: “Though we’re not experts in pill refining, we know full well how grueling it is—each furnace demands untold effort.”

“Jing Yao Dao You, don’t push yourself,” Chen Xing emphasized the final words.

“Push myself?”

Jing Yao looked puzzled: “Not at all!”

“On the contrary, I’m feeling excellent—I can easily finish refining the pills before the next Taiwei Yuan meeting.”

Hearing this, the gods’ hearts sank.

Your confidence is terrifying us!

“Really not pushing yourself?” the gods asked in unison.

They fixed their eyes on Jing Yao’s, silently screaming, pressing him with pressure, hoping he’d stop while ahead.

Yet Jing Yao, having missed only one meeting, seemed to have made a massive leap in power.

“I truly am not pushing myself.”

He ignored all their pressure, gazed at them with sincere eyes, and broke into a radiant smile: “We uphold mutual aid—everything for the organization, everything for everyone!”

“Serving you all is my duty—this is just a few pills. It’s a token of my heart; don’t be polite.”

Is this about politeness?!

The gods screamed inwardly, momentarily speechless.

He’s shouting slogans about “organizational spirit” and invoking “heartfelt intent”—is this still the old Jing Yao, the Purple Qi Supreme Lord?

【Moonlight Supreme Lord】Wangshu now looked at Jing Yao, her eyes revealing a flicker of surprise.

As the former master of Taiwei Yuan, she knew well how the previous generation of gods behaved.

The old Jing Yao, though outrageous, lacked the power—and still had some shame.

How did he break through the bottom line today?

And he’s acting so casually—are you possessed by Xiang Xuanqing?

On both sides of Taiwei Yuan, the nine gods turned their gazes toward Xiang Xuanqing, seated at the head.

Xiang Xuanqing’s figure was veiled in black mist; his gaze remained deep, silent.

At this moment, Xiang Xuanqing’s inner monologue was:

“Damn it—I promoted my Ye Wei too early; now it’s backfiring on me!”

“I shouldn’t have created the 【Moral Heavenly Venerable】 before the Taiwei Yuan Assembly!”

Xiang Xuanqing never imagined his own scheme would one day backfire on the gods of Taiwei Yuan in this way.

After acquiring the embryonic Ye Wei of the 【Moral Heavenly Venerable】, Jing Yao’s pill-refining ability soared to new heights.

But his moral standards plummeted to new lows!

The dual effect pushed Jing Yao’s outrageousness to a level that left the gods utterly bewildered.

“Even this embryonic Ye Wei has such power—what if I ever fully manifest the complete 【Moral Heavenly Venerable】…”

Just imagining future scenarios, Xiang Xuanqing’s lips twitched.

『Is this a 【Dao True Realm】 issue? No—when I manifested the 【Primordial Heavenly Venerable】 Ye Wei, I was perfectly normal!』

Xiang Xuanqing thought to himself.

On the left, fourth throne, Jing Yao continued promoting his pills: “Rest assured—I’ve thoroughly calculated the pill’s effects; it won’t kill you outright.”

Won’t kill you outright…

Then it will kill you anyway!!

“What’s the name of this pill?”

Finally, after long silence, a voice spoke.

All turned to look.

【Moonlight Void Supreme Lord】Ming He gazed at Jing Yao, his tone tinged with interest: “If it truly won’t kill you outright, then give me this pill.”

Holy shit!!

The Taiwei gods were stunned.

『Dao You Xu Yao, you’re Taiwei Yuan’s savior!』

『You’ve saved Taiwei Yuan’s future!』

『Dao You Xu Yao, I admit I misunderstood you before—now I say: you’re the new-age god of misfortune who shoulders great responsibility!』

『Your place on the future Honghuang stage is assured!』

The gods frantically sent private messages to Ming He, expressing their admiration.

Even the most composed Luo Hou chimed in: 『If anyone ever causes trouble in your Blood Sea, just let me know.』 Ming He, utterly unprepared for such overwhelming goodwill, was bewildered.

He actually thought Jing Yao’s pills were quite good.

Upon hearing Ming He’s question, Jing Yao beamed and pulled out a treasure box: “Dao You Xu Yao truly understands me!”

“Come, come—I’ll introduce you to this new pill: the Zhou Tian Wu Dao Pill.”

Jing Yao beamed as he explained to Ming He: “As the name suggests, this pill helps the user comprehend the Dao. I’ve thoroughly calculated it—it’s unquestionably a cultivation-assisting pill.”

“A Zhou Tian series pill.”

Ming He recalled the last Zhou Tian Wan Xiang Pill he’d taken—hadn’t died.

Hmm, now he was completely at ease.

“Exactly—a Zhou Tian series pill!”

Jing Yao grinned: “Isn’t it effective?”

“Absolutely!”

Ming He nodded, giving a glowing review: “Everyone who’s taken it says it’s great!”

With Ming He’s praise, Jing Yao was overjoyed.

“I knew you’d appreciate it!”

With his only customer giving a glowing review, Jing Yao felt he must reciprocate.

“Here, Dao You—I’m giving you all ten Zhou Tian Wu Dao Pills I brought!”

Jing Yao clasped Ming He’s hand and handed him a treasure box and a gourd.

He looked at Ming He with eager anticipation: “I look forward to your feedback after taking it!”

“No problem—I’ll take full responsibility!”

Ming He accepted Jing Yao’s “gift” with great ease.

He was even delighted.

Seeing Ming He swallow all ten Zhou Tian Wu Dao Pills at once, his image instantly soared in everyone’s eyes.

“Dao You Xu Yao is the real deal—he steps up when needed, and he actually swallows the pills!”

Thus, Ming He’s actions earned him praise from the “pill supplier” Jing Yao and the other nine Taiwei gods!

“Since Jing Yao Dao You has shared his pills, I think everyone should also present their recent research achievements.”

After Jing Yao, 【Earthlight Supreme Lord】Zhenyuan began speaking.

He smiled at everyone: “Good—I’ve recently developed new talismans.”

Another expert?!

The gods’ expressions changed drastically.

“My talismans aren’t that dangerous—I can even explain their principles clearly…” Zhenyuan smiled, preparing to launch into a long lecture.

Beside him, 【Firelight Supreme Lord】Yuan Huang rubbed his sword hilt.

She wondered: Isn’t it perfectly fine for the Taiwei Yuan to kill a fellow cultivator?

At this moment, more than one deity shared the same action as she did.

Wangshu slightly shook her head and gazed at Xiang Xuanqing, hidden behind the black mist.

“You are the master of Taiwei Yuan—say something right away.”

“Otherwise, none of us get to live.”

If this keeps up one by one, are we even going to hold this assembly?

Dū~ dū~ dū~~

Long fingers tapped the table; above the dome, a mass of black mist descended, enveloping five divine seats, freezing for an instant the five deities who had gripped their swords and were eager to act.

“Everyone, please calm down.”

Xiang Xuanqing casually silenced Zhenyuanzi.

“How about this: let’s put aside sharing personal research for now. I’ll first roll out a new feature for Taiwei Yuan.”

Xiang Xuanqing felt there was only one way to stop everyone’s antics: to launch his own.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone fell quiet.

“What new feature?”

“Taishi Yuan.”

Xiang Xuanqing lifted the seal.

Everyone settled back into their seats.

“In plain terms, it’s Taiwei Yuan’s trading function.”

Xiang Xuanqing tapped the long table again; clouds churned, and before each deity’s seat appeared a scroll.

“You may upload things you wish to share—such as scripture collections, spiritual treasures, pills, and so on.”

“I’m familiar with this!”

[Zu Long, Supreme Lord of Shuiyao Chenxing] looked at the scroll and instantly understood: a trading platform—the Main Divine Palace had one!

It was created by the Turtle Chancellor.

“I’ll upload first!” Zu Long uploaded several location markers.

Everyone looked—and their faces turned black.

These were all the places Zu Long had searched for “a ladle of weak water.”

“Then I’ll upload a few more scrolls.” Zu Long shrugged and uploaded several scripture volumes.

Everyone looked.

Their faces turned even blacker.

On those scrolls were clearly written:

“The Great Yin-Yang Union Art,” “The Secret Technique of Heaven-Earth Union and Delight,” “Thirty-Six Practices of Dual Cultivation,” “The Secrets I Had to Share with Three Thousand Female Cultivators”…

“I really want to read the last scroll!”

Fuxi’s eyes gleamed with intense gossip: “Name your price, fellow cultivator!”
