223: God Burying Pill

The feeling of being protected under someone's wing made Gu Qing feel a Stuffy(stifled) and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he knew alchemy, otherwise, he would truly be eating this soft rice the hard way.

Shaking his head, Gu Qing cast away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and said, "Master, there are too many cultivators outside who need pills. Please help me take their orders."

"I still have some spirit pills here. If Master has time, please help me sell them at the Heaven Treasure Business Building."

"Okay."

Zhi Meng took the storage ring, glanced at it, and saw more than thirty top-grade pills and seventy-two various low-level immortal pills that could be sold.

Selling these seventy-two immortal pills would bring in at least four to five million immortal crystals.

If she took all the orders from the cultivators outside, it would probably add another ten million immortal crystals to their account.

This was still under the circumstance that Gu Qing deliberately hid his true capabilities.

If Gu Qing refined all top-grade pills, his income would likely increase dozens of times.

Thinking of this, Zhi Meng felt both proud and guilty.

She never thought that one day, she, Zhi Meng, would actually need to rely on her disciple's resources.

If it were anyone else, getting so many immortal pills and having a disciple who could continuously refine immortal pills would surely make them ecstatic.

But Zhi Meng, who had always been strong, fell into deep introspection. She still wasn't working hard enough.

Zhi Meng desperately yearned to become stronger, then plunder treasures from the Immortal Realm so that Gu Qing would no longer need to refine pills.

Thinking this, Zhi Meng walked out of the cave dwelling with a determined expression.

"We respectfully greet the immortal lady."

The cultivators waiting outside the cave dwelling immediately clasped their fists in respectful greetings upon seeing Zhi Meng, their postures humble and their smiles fawning.

After all, anyone who could freely enter and exit the cave dwelling must be someone close to Gu Qing.

Perhaps they were even fellow disciples, or Zhi Meng herself might be an Immortal Pill Master.

"Hm!"

Zhi Meng scanned her surroundings, her expression arrogant, and spoke indifferently.

"My junior brother is currently at a bottleneck in alchemy and plans to go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao of alchemy. Of course, considering that you all have waited here for a long time, each person may have at most one furnace of immortal pills refined."

"Additionally, the refining fee will be increased by another 10%. Do any of you have objections?"

After harvesting these people, the immortal crystals should be enough. If possible, she would try not to let Gu Qing refine pills.

Improving cultivation was the top priority.

Once one became a strong individual, countless people would eagerly offer treasures.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled, and their expressions became flustered.

It wasn't because of Zhi Meng's sudden price increase, but because they feared Gu Qing would no longer refine pills for them in the future.

An Immortal Pill Master like Gu Qing, with a 100% success rate, no airs, no special demands, and a reasonable fee, was extremely rare in the world.

They still had many immortal pills they wanted Gu Qing to refine, and any amount of immortal crystals could be discussed.

After all, some special immortal pills were priceless.

So, encountering Gu Qing was a gain, it was their destiny.

Now that Gu Qing suddenly stopped taking orders, how could they not panic?

However, even if they panicked, it was useless. An Immortal Pill Master was not someone they could force.

"We have no objections."

Everyone said in unison.

As for the sudden price increase, everyone seemed to have completely ignored it.

It was a joke. Who didn't know that bargaining was not allowed in alchemy?

If it was suitable, they would trade; if not, they could only give up.

After all, weren't there enough examples of failed alchemy due to bargaining?

Don't let it be that the immortal spirit herbs were gone, and they still had to pay a sum of immortal crystals as a hard-work fee.

Moreover, even if Gu Qing increased the price by 10%, they would still profit, which was much more cost-effective than directly buying immortal pills.

"Good!"

Zhi Meng began collecting the storage rings, which contained contact information. Once the pills were refined, she could send a message for people to come and collect them.

"Immortal Lady, I wish to meet Dan Shi Gu. I implore the Immortal Lady to inform him on my behalf. Zheng is eternally grateful."

The dejected young man crouching in the corner suddenly stood up, clasped his fists in a bow, and after handing over his storage ring, he sent a voice transmission to Zhi Meng, his tone earnest.

"He is my junior brother. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Zhi Meng glanced at him, responding with a voice transmission, her meaning very clear.

If the dejected young man didn't produce enough treasures to move her, everything was out of the question.

Zheng Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then transmitted, "I have a burial god flower and want to refine a Burial Divine Pill, but I don't have any other auxiliary immortal spirit herbs, nor do I have a pill formula."

"If Dan Shi Gu can refine it, I only need three Burial Divine Pills."

The burial god flower is a divine flower that absorbs the essence of a Heavenly God Realm cultivator after their demise, containing a portion of that cultivator's Dao fruit.

It also contains the cultivator's obsession and killing intent. If these are not removed, it cannot be directly refined.

Forcibly refining it would only be harmful and useless, possibly even leading to qi deviation and self-detonation.

If refined into a Burial Divine Pill, it can help a Divine Fire Realm cultivator break through to the Heavenly God Realm, increasing the success rate by 70%.

Heavenly God Realm cultivators who consume it can 100% break through a minor realm. It can be consumed without limit and has no side effects.

At the same time, the Burial Divine Pill is also a divine pill for healing and detoxification. Even if only a wisp of residual soul remains, the Burial Divine Pill can restore the physical body.

In addition, the Burial Divine Pill has another miraculous effect: it can make one undergo a complete transformation, improve aptitude, and strengthen the divine soul.

The Burial Divine Pill possesses such a heaven-defying miraculous effect. Although it is only a Intermediate Immortal Alchemist, its preciousness and rarity surpass even ordinary high-level immortal pills.

It is truly because the burial god flower is too difficult to obtain. Not every Heavenly God Realm cultivator who perishes can grow a burial god flower.

It requires a special region and special circumstances for there to be even a slight possibility.

Moreover, its refining difficulty is among the most challenging of the Intermediate Immortal Alchemist.

Even if a high-level Immortal Pill Master takes action, the success rate is not high.

All in all, the burial god flower and Burial Divine Pill are legendary divine objects.

When Zhi Meng led the person in and heard that it was for refining a Burial Divine Pill, Gu Qing looked at the dejected young man with a look of surprise.

As if to say, are you sure you've found the right person?

Are you overestimating me?

Don't you know that only a Profound God Realm high-level Immortal Pill Master can refine a Burial Divine Pill?

Zheng Jianfeng met Gu Qing's gaze, and his heart sank.

He knew that refining the Burial Divine Pill was difficult, but he truly didn't know that only a Profound God Realm high-level Immortal Pill Master could refine it.

Actually, before asking Gu Qing to refine the Burial Divine Pill, he had carefully considered it, approaching it with a 'dead horse, living horse' mentality.

In his opinion, Gu Qing was very likely a Intermediate Immortal Alchemist who had hidden his cultivation and rank.

Because he had observed Gu Qing for several months, and Gu Qing had never failed to refine a pill.

If anyone said there was no trickery, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Of course, Zheng Jianfeng dared not voice these conjectures.

"I can't refine the Burial Divine Pill. If you go to other Immortal Pill Masters, they won't be able to refine it either."

Gu Qing shook his head and said so.

"Why?"

Zheng Jianfeng asked, stunned, upon hearing this.

"Because the Burial Divine Pill doesn't have a fixed pill formula at all. Everything depends on the attributes of the burial god flower you obtained, and a new pill formula must be derived based on the situation."

"Moreover, regardless of the pill formula, at least several thousand kinds of precious immortal spirit herbs are needed as auxiliary ingredients."

"So, do you think you have the ability to gather several thousand immortal spirit herbs?"

"Do you think you have the ability to invite a high-level Immortal Pill Master to spend hundreds or thousands of years deriving a pill formula for you?"

These pieces of information were all known by Gu Qing, who had purchased the Immortal Pill Records from the Heaven Treasure Business Building.

Based on the above, there was absolutely no exaggeration.

The more heaven-defying a divine pill, the more difficult it was to refine.

It must be said that Zheng Jianfeng was truly daring, even attempting to refine a legendary divine pill.

"No!"

Zheng Jianfeng's face turned pale, and he shook his head decisively.

Hearing Gu Qing's explanation, Zheng Jianfeng had completely given up.

Even if a high-level Immortal Pill Master was willing to refine it for him, he wouldn't do it.

After all, just by listening, he knew what a heavy price he would have to pay, and the terrifying failure rate was too high.

There was almost no hope of success.

Gathering the ingredients for a Burial Divine Pill was essentially providing practice for an Immortal Pill Master.

"Then, let's talk about something else."

"Are you selling the burial god flower? Take it out and let me see it," Gu Qing asked.

After all that talk, Gu Qing's goal was simple: he wanted the burial god flower.

Others might not be able to refine it, but he certainly could.

Others needed to derive a pill formula, but he didn't.

Because he could ask Jiang Yu for help.

"Sell."

"However, this was obtained jointly by our seven senior and junior siblings, and three senior brothers died because of it. The remaining junior brothers and sisters are also poisoned. Please, Dan Shi Gu, have mercy."

Presenting the jade box with both hands, Zheng Jianfeng was filled with bitterness, kneeling on the ground, his face full of pleading.

The burial god flower was like a tasteless, yet regrettable, chicken rib of a divine flower.

Even if he took it out to sell, in this godforsaken place, it probably wouldn't fetch many immortal crystals.

Zheng Jianfeng could only beg Gu Qing to be generous and give him one or two more detoxification immortal pills.

If Gu Qing only offered one immortal pill, he wouldn't know how to explain it to his junior brothers and sisters.

"Alright, times are tough. Senior Sister, give him a few more!"

Gu Qing waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

Zhi Meng led the person into the palace, looking at the dejected Zheng Jianfeng with a somewhat complex expression.

She could tell that Zheng Jianfeng was an extremely powerful sword cultivator.

It was said that sword cultivators were unyielding, would rather break than bend, and their Dao heart was as firm as divine iron.

However, at this moment, Zheng Jianfeng knelt for a few immortal pills, his sword cultivator's dignity almost gone.

But this had nothing to do with her.

Zhi Meng put away her thoughts and explicitly stated that she would only give nine top-grade immortal pills, letting Zheng Jianfeng choose.

Zheng Jianfeng was overjoyed and immediately chose three immortal yuan pills, selecting crossing calamity pills for the rest.

These were the most precious and effective detoxification divine pills among low-level immortal pills, perfect for detoxifying his junior brothers and sisters.

After getting the immortal pills, Zheng Jianfeng hurriedly left the city.

He soon stopped in front of a floating meteorite, threw down a formation flag, and a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, opening a gap.

Zheng Jianfeng flashed inside and saw two men and one woman, their faces as black as ink, with wisps of black mist emanating from their bodies.

Clearly, all three were poisoned.

"Senior Brother."

The woman called out weakly.

"Hm!"

Zheng Jianfeng excitedly stepped forward and fed a crossing calamity detoxification pill into his junior sister's mouth, then fed the other two junior brothers.

The three of them circulated their cultivation techniques, refining the crossing calamity pill. The poison, which had merged with their divine souls and physical bodies, was rapidly expelled with the aid of the medicinal power.

Zheng Jianfeng assisted them with his cultivation, and soon, the three of them had rosy complexions, and the poison in their bodies was completely cleared.

"Wuwuwu..."

The stunning young girl cried tears of joy, hugging her knees and weeping bitterly.

They were saved.

But her three senior brothers, who had accompanied her for hundreds of years, were dead.

"Junior Sister, don't be sad. You still have your senior brother."

Zheng Jianfeng's eyes welled with tears, but he tried his best to remain calm and comforted her, "I still have three crossing calamity pills and three immortal yuan pills. They are all for you."

"???"

The stunning young girl looked up at Zheng Jianfeng blankly, then cried even harder.

Because she knew how precious and rare these immortal pills were, especially the crossing calamity pill, which was simply not sold in Heguang Immortal City.

It must have been extremely difficult for Zheng Jianfeng to obtain these nine top-grade immortal pills.

"Junior Sister, don't cry."

Zheng Jianfeng and the other two looked at the young girl, at a loss.

They could kill people, but their master hadn't taught them how to comfort someone.
