Gu Changqing arrived late and was unaware of the situation, so he asked a group of cultivators around him.

"What is this treasure he's talking about?" Gu Changqing asked doubtfully.

"According to the man, the purple-gold jade box in his hand contains a Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill that he has treasured for many years. However, the box has been sealed by his enemies and cannot be opened no matter how hard he tries. It's practically a brick. If someone can help him open it, he is willing to give half of the pill to that person," one of the cultivators explained to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing nodded and then asked, "What is the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill? Is it precious?"

The cultivator shook his head, looking completely bewildered, and said, "How should I know? He didn't say, but it's definitely a treasure!"

Gu Changqing was speechless. He rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly, "Go to hell. He doesn't even know what it is, yet he's just wandering around aimlessly. He's really brain-dead."

"Master, come out quickly! What exactly is that Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill? Is it precious?" Gu Changqing asked Greenie impatiently as soon as he had a thought.

"Greenie is here, host. The Heavenly Divine Pill System Shop happens to have it, but it's hard to get. Its effect is to stabilize your cultivation instantly without any adverse symptoms. And no matter how fast you level up or how many levels you reach, this medicine will still be effective and can stabilize your cultivation instantly." Greenie's voice flashed through my mind.

Gu Changqing was overjoyed after hearing Lü'er's introduction.

Holy crap, this is a treasure! No matter how fast I level up, I can use this immediately. It's a one-time fix for life! Awesome! Cool! It's practically tailor-made for me!

Gu Changqing immediately wanted the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill.

At this point, many cultivators had already volunteered to give it a try.

If we can open this jade box, we can get half of the treasure; if we can't open it, we won't lose anything. Why not give it a try?

The first to step forward was a cultivator at the Saint level. He laughed loudly, looking full of confidence.

He picked up the jade box from the man in blue and placed it on the ground, using all his strength to try to open it.

However, the jade box remained intact, without the slightest disturbance.

He was immediately like a deflated balloon, utterly disappointed.

“Let me give it a try. I am at the peak of the Great Sage realm. A small jade box is absolutely no problem for me.” Another cultivator stepped out from the crowd and volunteered.

"Okay, give it a try!" the man in blue said with a smile.

The cultivator instantly unleashed the aura of a peak Great Sage, which was extremely terrifying.

He unleashed all his cultivation power in one fell swoop, delivering a full-force attack on the jade box.

But the jade box remained stubbornly still, not moving an inch.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "This jade box is so difficult to open!"

Some people still refused to believe it and said, "Let me try. I am a third-level Immortal King. I believe I can open this jade box without any problem."

After saying that, the old man had a thought and waved his hand. A powerful aura suddenly burst forth and rushed straight towards the jade box.

The next moment, something unbelievable happened.

The jade box remained completely still, exceptionally sturdy.

The old man looked displeased and left dejectedly.

"Let me try!" Another person stepped out from the crowd.

Just as he was about to go up, Gu Changqing glanced at him, shoved him aside, and said with great confidence, "You're not up to the task, so don't waste your energy. Watch me."

A group of cultivators, watching the spectacle with amusement, chattered amongst themselves:

"How could you, a piece of trash with barely any cultivation, possibly open the jade box?"

"You should know that one of those three was a powerful Immortal King at the third level, and even they couldn't open it. Do you think you can?"

"Yeah, yeah, even the Celestial King can't open it, how could you? Don't let the sun rise from your butt."

Instead of getting angry, Gu Changqing laughed and said, "Then you all can open your eyes and see if I, Gu, am up to the task."

After saying that, Gu Changqing waved his hand and slapped the target.

He smashed the jade box to pieces.

A golden divine pill floated out, and instantly the fragrance of the pill filled the air for miles around. Taking a breath of it made one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

Some people even felt that their century-old kidney deficiency had been cured, and were overjoyed.

The group of cultivators who had just looked down on Gu Changqing immediately changed their tune, their smiles returning. They all guessed that Gu Changqing was a physical cultivator, capable of breaking through all laws with sheer force—extremely powerful—and they all clasped their fists in greeting.

"Damn, you're awesome!"

"So this person is a cultivator."

"That's right, if you're not a body cultivator, you absolutely can't break through it."

"He can even open a restriction that a third-level Immortal King couldn't break. I haven't seen such a powerful body cultivator in tens of thousands of years!"

Gu Changqing completely ignored what they were saying and looked at the pill floating in mid-air. It was about the size of a fist, crystal clear, and shimmering with golden light. It emitted a rich and refreshing fragrance that made one feel refreshed and comfortable after taking a whiff.

I had only glanced at it a few times when I was suddenly grabbed by the middle-aged man in blue.

Gu Changqing asked seriously, "What are you going to do with it? I haven't seen enough yet. Now you should keep your promise and give me half of it."

The middle-aged man in blue chuckled and said, "What do you mean by splitting in half? I don't understand."

“Husband, he’s trying to play dirty tricks,” Jiang Qingcheng said, frowning.

Gu Changqing's eyes narrowed, and he said, "In broad daylight, are you trying to renege on your debt? Everyone here is a witness, so don't even think about denying it."

Upon hearing this, a group of cultivators began to criticize the middle-aged man in blue.

"That's right, we all heard you break your promise!"

"You are despicable and vile, and you do not deserve to possess this Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill."

"Damn it, they made us waste our time and effort, opening the jade box for free. What a clever scheme!"

The middle-aged man in blue was not angry. Ignoring the public outrage, he pressed the Heavenly Pill into his chest, and the pill disappeared instantly, merging into his body.

Then they saw the middle-aged man in blue radiating golden light, his face glowing red, and his originally chaotic aura instantly stabilized.

The middle-aged man in blue said shamelessly, "I just reached the peak of the Immortal King realm, but I couldn't stabilize my cultivation. With the help of this Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill, I've finally stabilized my cultivation, and it's as stable as Mount Tai! Haha, I'm so happy! I've already integrated the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pill into my body, so I'm reneging on the debt. What can you do to me? If you've got the guts, hit me! Hahaha!"

Seeing the cunning and shrewd look on the middle-aged man in blue, Gu Changqing frowned, about to slap him to death.

The man in blue suddenly glanced at the Qilin and said arrogantly, "If you know what's good for you, leave this Qilin here, and I might spare your life. I am a peak Immortal King, someone you can't afford to offend!"

Gu Changqing sneered and said, "Sorry, I'm not one to back down from a good argument. I'm afraid I can't do as you wish! Who do you think you are, daring to provoke me?"
