Looking at the somewhat bitter expression on Shen Shixing's face, surrounded by the bustling crowd that occasionally pointed and whispered about him, Gu Ping felt a slight flush of embarrassment, though he couldn't quite understand why. What could possibly cause that usually mature and composed Transcendent Practitioner to display such a demeanor? Gu Ping shook his head in confusion.
Just yesterday morning at Jade Capital Riverbank, his alchemy skills had astonished countless people, and the grade of the Transforming Pill was not low. If judged according to the four levels of Spirit Law True Immortal, the Transforming Pill could be considered a first-class elixir. Yan Dong must have had many eyes fixed on him.
Let them look; why should he be afraid of their scrutiny? If he angered them, those uncles and brothers in the secret realm wouldn't mind taking a stroll in Tiandong City.
Gu Ping put on a nonchalant facade. Last night at Jade Capital Riverbank, he had made quite an impression, seeking to achieve that effect of becoming well-known in Tiandong City. The more attention he received, the more people would believe he wasn't just Gu Ping, who had borrowed his way from the Righteous and Evil Battlefield. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Aside from Yoyo, there was hardly any trace of his past; as long as Jiang Anbo didn't sell him out, no one would know he was Gu Ping.
He feared those old monsters would drag him off to refine pills. He knew there were plenty of cultivators capable of making Transforming Pills, but among that sea of cultivators, he would still be considered a rare talent. Moreover, he was so young; what did they want with him? Did they really want him to be their disciple?
Before Shen Shixing could finish speaking, Gu Ping interrupted him and turned to head towards the Grand Arena.
Wait, wait! Even Jiang Anbo beside them noticed that Shen Shixing clearly had something to ask Gu Ping; otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered himself like that.
What was there to say? Considering last month when I let him off easy, could he help me out this time?
Then Shen Shixing pointed at the massive Pure Black Slate in the main hall of Universe Hall. The surface continuously displayed one unfinished task after another, along with the rewards for completing them. At the top was the task with the highest reward.
After waiting for a moment, Gu Ping saw that the tasks on the slate seemed to flip like pages, revealing an astronomical bounty. Bu Luo's appearance certainly matched its worth; the difficulty of the task was self-evident.
Reef Soul Pill?
He gently uttered three words, and Gu Ping furrowed his brow. The task seemed simple enough—just to obtain a single pill or find an alchemist capable of refining it. But what was this Reef Soul Pill? Gu Ping had never even heard of it, so how could he possibly refine it? He felt utterly perplexed.
That pill was meant for an Ancestor and could dispel the Nine Nether Cold Qi from a cultivator's body.
What level of pill was it?
Law Grade. Upon hearing those two words, Gu Ping sensed that things were not looking good. But when Shen Shixing revealed the following words, even Hong Ling beside him gasped in surprise.
Law Grade?
Gu Ping asked with some confusion, and Shen Shixing nodded.
Really?
Shen Shixing nodded again.
I want to seek top-tier spiritual herbs; why not go find those Earth Immortals from the Daoist Sect? He was just a Golden Core Cultivator. I don't deny it. Am I just playing with him?
It can't be refined.
Gu Ping shook his head; it couldn't be done.
The Coal Blossom System can wait.
How long can he hold on until his Transcendence?
I wonder how many years it will take for me to achieve Transcendence?
Who knows? What if he never achieves Transcendence in this lifetime? Wouldn't that mean my Ancestor would be lost forever?
The elixir itself was already a long shot. A few people entered the Grand Arena, and only Shen Shixing had some hope of success. They said it was Law Grade, but in reality, refining it was incredibly difficult. Adding to that, the Wei Ba sect's Daoist Sect made it even more challenging. I don't deny that it was quite good, so even if one could afford the price, obtaining that elixir would still be impossible.
Why not take him to see? There might be a way.
But what kind of way? Three years ago, the most recent Ascended Immortal, Liu Dong, had a Recipe, but such elixirs are rare in the mortal realm. Even if there were people capable of refining them, they often belonged to Qiankun Dao or Beginning Path. Even the Jade Void Sect couldn't find such a grand alchemist. Liu Dong's hope was practically the same as having none at all.
Letting him see won't kill him. Not letting him see means waiting for death anyway, so why not let him take a look?
Do I have confidence?
No, even Celestial Beings who Ascend to the Celestial Realm have no way of knowing. How could he possibly know if he has any chance?
