Chapter 219: Reaching the Heavens with a Single Bound (2/2)

lu yun nodded. a golden immortal’s heart blood contained their essence, where the golden immortal principles collected. it was the only thing that could channel the doctrines of cultivation to temper one’s body.

with a single thought, ruyi transmitted the pill recipe to lu yun, one so ancient that even a mental copy of it exuded a prehistoric air.

it doesn’t make use of the immortal dao principles within the herbs! his heart shook after studying the recipe.

all of the ingredients they were presented with were dead. corrupted immortal dao principles within meant that any pills refined from them would be great poison. however, the heaven descent pill didn’t require the immortal dao principles. its effects resulted from the combination of the ingredients’ inherent properties and effects. therefore, if lu yun succeeded in refining a pill, it would be the real deal!

“for my luopan!” lu yun took a deep breath and looked at qing xun. her attention was on him as well. all of the other pill masters were buried deep in their work. in fact, gu zun had finished extracting all of his ingredients’ essence and was refining his pill.

qing xun didn’t believe for a second that lu yun knew only to identify and distill herbs. someone who could process all thousand and eighty ingredients at the same time couldn’t be a novice in pill refinement.

“this humble one has a favor to ask, fairy qing xun.” lu yun approached with a smile.

“oh?” qing xun paused. “pray tell, sir lu.”

“i would like to borrow your heart blood,” the governor said slowly.

“my heart blood?” qing xun frowned.

“have you lost your mind, lu yun?!” a man snapped from a gazebo when he heard lu yun’s request. “that’s a golden immortal’s essence. one drop will take ten years of cultivation to replenish! fairy qing xun, i am at your service to kick this bastard out!”

the young man rolled up his sleeves and was about to jump onstage when his elders pulled him back. this was the blessed land of the panorama pavilion and an internal affair. outsiders were not to stick their noses in where they wouldn’t be welcome.

“what does he need that for?”

“is he refining something incredible to counter the dao fruit pill?” the crowd erupted in discussion. they expected lu yun to amaze them since he’d performed very well in the previous stages.

……

wu tulong and the other youth sovereigns shared a look of shock in their gazebo, feeling nothing but complete admiration of lu yun. that young man was not only the best of cultivators at his level, but also an expert in pill refinement!

wu tulong and the others were all cultivation fanatics and devoted their energies into studying various combat arts and techniques. they didn’t have time for the supplemental paths.

qing han maintained an impassive expression, despite the displeasure that flared when lu yun drew close to qing xun.

“he wants to refine a heaven descent pill,” empress myrtlestar floated up to qing han’s mind. “the heart blood of a golden immortal and 943 immortal herbs form the basis of this pill. also known as the empyrean pill, it enables one to reach the heavens at birth. it is a rankless pill that all pill masters can refine and invented by qi hai, the foremost pill master of my time. however, he only successfully refined three of the kind in his lifetime, which gave rise to three immortal emperors.”
