115: Chapter 115: Tell the Barbarian the Truth About the Heaven-Mending Pill!
"I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Man here today? Surely it's not as simple as just wanting to spar with me?"
Zhao Changsheng directly voiced the doubt in his heart. Regarding Zhao Changsheng's question, Savage Beard did not answer directly, but instead took the initiative to request entering the Immortal Cave for a detailed discussion.
"This is not the place for conversation. If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, why not invite me into your Immortal Cave for a detailed talk?"
"Certainly, please come in!"
Zhao Changsheng naturally did not refuse Savage Beard's request and agreed immediately, then led the way.
Savage Beard walked side-by-side with Zhao Changsheng, while simultaneously asking Zhao Changsheng about cultivation matters regarding the Physical Body.
Regarding these matters, Zhao Changsheng's answer was very simple: if Savage Beard had the chance or Opportunity, he should visit the Great Jin, the Holy Land of cultivation.
There, he would find the Cultivation Technique he needed, the Mingwang Jue.
To Zhao Changsheng's answer, Savage Beard was both surprised and delighted, yet also somewhat helpless.
He naturally knew the situation of the Great Jin Cultivation World, that Holy Land of cultivation, but wanting to go there was no easy feat. The distance between the two was simply too far; even if he flew for a hundred years, he might not necessarily arrive.
Moreover, he didn't have a corresponding map; he had only seen related records in ancient texts.
"Regarding this matter, you can go ask the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star. They know."
Zhao Changsheng didn't mind giving the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star something to do.
As for whether the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star would be willing to inform Savage Beard of the Teleportation Array's location, that would depend on the Twin Saints themselves, as well as what kind of good items Savage Beard could produce.
Regardless, this matter no longer had much to do with him, as he now possessed sufficient power to protect himself.
Since he had such strength, there was naturally no need to worry excessively; some things could be done with abandon.
"Many thanks for informing me, Fellow Daoist. It seems that coming to find you was indeed the right choice for me."
After hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, Savage Beard quickly thanked him, while also lamenting that he hadn't come in vain.
As the two conversed, they arrived as intended at a grand hall on the island.
After the host and guest were seated, Zhao Changsheng finally spoke and asked again.
"Now, can Fellow Daoist inform me of your purpose for coming here?"
"Naturally." Savage Beard grinned and then began to ask questions again.
"I presume Fellow Daoist must know of the Void Heaven Palace? I wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested in the heaven mending pill within the void heaven cauldron? Rumor has it that the heaven mending pill can increase cultivation and extend lifespan, possessing unparalleled and miraculous effects. If you and I can obtain it, we can definitely take another step forward."
"So Fellow Daoist's purpose for coming here is the hope of joining forces with me to obtain the heaven mending pill in the Void Heaven Palace."
After hearing Savage Beard's words, Zhao Changsheng finally had a sudden realization.
"Exactly, exactly. That is exactly what I mean, exactly what I mean."
Savage Beard laughed heartily and immediately admitted it, without any intention of hiding anything.
"Then does Fellow Daoist know what the true effect of the heaven mending pill is? It is not used to increase cultivation or extend lifespan; those are all fabrications concocted by the Star Palace. Not a single one is true. In fact, the true effect of the heaven mending pill is to supplement and cleanse the Spiritual Roots, allowing the Aptitude of the Spiritual Roots to be improved and increasing the speed of refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."
As soon as Zhao Changsheng said this, Savage Beard jumped up and blurted out.
"How is that possible? How could there be such a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill in the world? How can Spiritual Roots be supplemented? How can they be cleansed? It's simply impossible; it's absolutely impossible."
Savage Beard had a look that said 'don't lie to me, don't treat me like a fool'.
Zhao Changsheng had long anticipated Savage Beard's reaction and didn't care in the slightest. Instead, he leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, not worried that Savage Beard would suddenly strike.
Seeing Zhao Changsheng's calm and indifferent manner, Savage Beard sat back down in his seat and said somewhat dejectedly.
"Could it really be so?"
"Yes, that is indeed the case. Furthermore, in the Spirit Realm, there are even Heaven-Defying methods that allow Mortals to possess Spiritual Roots. What does cleansing Spiritual Roots count for? It's just that our Mortal Realm is far too inferior compared to the Spirit Realm; they aren't even on the same Rank. Naturally, we don't understand the mysteries within. We also don't know just how many Heaven-Defying methods and means there are. For you and me, this heaven mending pill basically has no effect; it can only be left for those Disciples or descendants with poor Aptitude. It would allow them to increase their chances of Forming the Golden Core or reaching the Nascent Soul stage by a few points. Other than that, it has no other use."
"Whether Fellow Daoist believes it or not, I've said my piece. Regardless of your belief, this is the situation, so there's no need for Fellow Daoist to ask further. It would be meaningless, completely meaningless, so do not press further. If Fellow Daoist does not believe me, you can go directly to ask the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star; they know better than I do."
"Then why did Fellow Daoist tell me this? It seems we don't have such a close friendship?"
This was something Savage Beard truly did not understand.
He completely failed to understand or figure it out; it was something he couldn't grasp.
"Naturally, it's because I don't want to waste my efforts, and I also wish to cooperate with Fellow Daoist. As for how to cooperate, there is only one thing: destroy Holy Demon Island!"
"Boom!"
As those last words fell, Savage Beard was as if dazed by a clap of thunder, becoming lost and bewildered.
"Is Fellow Daoist joking with me, playing with me? Destroy Six Paths Extreme Saint? Do you know just how terrifying the divine abilities and means of a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator are? Moreover, on Holy Demon Island, besides Six Paths Extreme Saint, there are at least five Cultivators at the Middle Nascent Soul Stage or above. If it were a single one's Divine Ability, perhaps they wouldn't be as good as me, but if they joined forces, even I would have to keep a respectful distance and not dare to provoke them easily. As for Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivators, there are even more, as many as over ten. These are the foundations of Holy Demon Island. In the entire Chaotic Star Sea, besides Heavenly Star City and the Star Palace, no power can compare to it or surpass it. You actually want to destroy Holy Demon Island—you're simply joking, indulging in wishful thinking."
Savage Beard now felt that Zhao Changsheng was crazy, completely and utterly insane.
If he weren't crazy, how could he have such a thought?
This was completely suicidal behavior, purely seeking death, absolutely seeking death.
"Fellow Daoist, do not worry or be concerned. Since I've said it, I certainly have confidence. If I weren't sure, how could I say such a thing?"
Zhao Changsheng continued to reassure him with a smile.
