"What's so special about those few Transcendent Pills?"
Feng Bingwen humbly sought guidance, as it seemed that the pills his senior sister refined possessed some special properties.
"The pill itself is nothing special. What is rare is that the materials used in it all come from your Supreme Dao sect. They have the least karmic ties with this world and are most suitable for people like me who seek transcendence."
The young man in blue explained, and Feng Bingwen immediately understood. The vast majority of the resources needed for their cultivation as disciples of the Supreme Dao were obtained from the Great Void. Their connection with the world was indeed not strong, but it did exist, since a considerable portion of the medicinal herbs and spiritual objects were native varieties.
"I see!"
Feng Bingwen nodded, then a new idea popped into his head, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.
"Second Brother, I have a cave dwelling in the Supreme Dao, but I don't need most of the spiritual items produced there. It would be a waste to hoard them. Do you have any good ideas?"
"The cave you were assigned, however vast, how high can the quality of the spiritual items it produces be? It's not suitable for me. Don't bother with me, I have no interest."
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, the young man in blue glanced at him and replied without any politeness.
"No, my Senior Sister Luo refined a few Transcendent Pills, which could be exchanged for a secret realm from you. I'm willing to offer up the spiritual resources produced in my cave, but you didn't even glance at them. This is too biased!"
Feng Bingwen felt wronged. This so-called genius was far too hypocritical. Although he had some ulterior motives, wouldn't it have been better if he had offered a lower price? He didn't want more; he just wanted ten or eight secret realms.
He realized that these ancient relics, who had survived from the primordial era to the present, could no longer move freely in the world, but over the long years they had accumulated an extremely terrifying amount of resources that even a young cultivator like him could not imagine.
These resources are basically useless to these innate geniuses; they are only given away at crucial moments to establish a karmic connection or a good relationship.
"Your senior sister has no connection with us and has given us benefits for no reason. Naturally, I should give her something in return. As for you, kid, don't you know how much benefit you've received from my eldest brother and fifth sister? If you're interested, just give them to me for free. As for anything else, don't mention it again."
"Give it away for free?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen's eyes widened in shock. What a joke! It was true that he had received tremendous benefits from these divine beings, and his fate had undergone earth-shattering changes because of them. But he had earned it with good deeds, although he still owed a large amount of karma.
But isn't he currently cultivating the reincarnations of those two deities to repay his debts? It's absolutely impossible for him to give away the resources produced in his cave for free. How could he let someone take advantage of him so easily?
"Second Brother, this is not how you show favoritism. I don't want anything else, but do you have any secret realms that can quickly improve one's cultivation foundation? At my current cultivation speed, it would probably take sixty years to reach the Earth Immortal level."
Feng Bingwen tried to struggle a bit. Since he was already here, it would be a real loss if he didn't squeeze some more benefits out of this big shot before leaving.
"To become an Earth Immortal in sixty years? If word gets out that you've said that, many old immortals will probably want to beat you up in private!"
The young man in blue sneered at Feng Bingwen, who seemed rather ungrateful.
"Isn't it all thanks to your protection? Otherwise, how could I have achieved my current cultivation level? At most, I'd be just figuring out how to form a Golden Core!"
"You're quite self-aware, kid!"
"That's right. I've always been quite shrewd. Didn't you just ask me to participate in the Dragon Clan's war against the extraterrestrial demons?"
When I arrived, I encountered a demon that had escaped into the inner sea. I shared some of the benefits with it, which has made me incredibly greedy. I would appreciate your guidance, Second Brother.
How can I quickly improve my cultivation level? Otherwise, by the time I reach the Earth Immortal realm step by step, these Heavenly Demons will probably have been wiped out by the Dragon Clan, and I won't even have a sip of soup.
Feng Bingwen stared longingly at the old man before him. The young man in blue robes looked exactly the same as when they first met, without any change. Time had not left a trace on him.
"Kill them all? You underestimate those demons. Their origins are not simple. If one day they break in and establish a forbidden zone in our world, I wouldn't be surprised."
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, the young man in blue couldn't help but laugh again. Feng Bingwen, far from being annoyed by this reaction, was actually overjoyed, as this was his only channel of information about the outer world.
The Fairy Tree Romance
There's no point in relying on his own sect. Those celestial immortals, or even those above them, certainly know about the situation outside the heavens, but they wouldn't discuss it with a newbie like him, since he's not at that level.
From Feng Bingwen's perspective, his sect did not react to this extraterrestrial invasion, but this was only his perspective. Perhaps, some powerful figures had already taken action, but he was unaware of it.
"Second Brother, what is your opinion on those extraterrestrial demons? Do you think they will be wiped out, or will they be able to establish themselves in our world?"
"How am I supposed to watch? I'll just lie here and watch. Do you think I can make a move?"
"Can't I?"
"Unless there is a crisis of collapse in this world, I will not do my best."
"These restrictions are way too harsh!"
Feng Bingwen couldn't help but click his tongue. He was unable to move and could only shrink into this cave in grievance. If he were to make a move, he would have to take into account the will of Heaven. No wonder these great elders would rather give up their power in order to reincarnate and transcend.
"Stop worrying about things beyond the heavens. You're far too inexperienced. And don't ask me. I don't know much either. I haven't even tried to test them, so how would I know the strength of those extraterrestrial demons? All I know is that they are indeed extraordinary. An old dragon of the Dragon Clan tried to test them once, but couldn't figure anything out!"
"The old dragon of the dragon race!"
Upon hearing these words, Feng Bingwen pondered them carefully. To be called "Old Dragon" by this seemingly young but actually ancient being, whose age was comparable to his, was probably no simple matter.
"If you want to seek opportunities from me, then I will show you a way. You have raised my fifth sister quite well, but my eldest brother, you have thrown him into that godforsaken, desolate place and have never cared about him since."
"Isn't this the reincarnation of that supreme being, who is still young?"
Feng Bingwen smiled somewhat awkwardly. He really hadn't paid much attention to it. After all, the reincarnation of that big shot had just been born and wasn't even a year old yet. What could such a small baby do?
"Have you forgotten that my elder brother's reincarnation also has a delicate heart inside his chest?"
"Of course I remember. I even made a promise to someone that I would return that exquisite heart to its original owner when the time is right!"
"Um!"
The young man in blue responded softly, offering no further comment on the matter.
"Brother, was this also part of your plan?"
"Not here!"
"You didn't expect that?"
Feng Bingwen was taken aback. He had thought that the matter of the Supreme Being's reincarnation having his heart replaced was pre-arranged. A reincarnated elder must undergo tribulations; how could he awaken to his true self without going through a lot of trials?
"What's so surprising? Do you really think I'm all-knowing? If I were truly omniscient, I wouldn't be in this predicament today!"
The young man in blue gave a light snort, readily admitting that he too had limitations.
"If I had foreseen that my elder brother would suffer this calamity, I would have naturally tried to avoid it."
"Then why?"
"Because it involves the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, your human race's born saints, born with the destiny of the human race, do you think I still have the ability to interfere with your human race?"
The young man in blue rolled his eyes. He hadn't expected his elder brother, who had been reincarnated, to bump into a human saint. Or rather, he hadn't expected it without paying a price.
"I guess I should be considered human!"
Feng Bingwen smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yes, but what level were you at before? You know in your heart whether you had any human luck supporting you, so I won't go into details. After that, you became the Supreme Dao Child, and your luck deepened. All of this is because of my eldest brother and fifth sister's innate source energy."
"I think I understand!"
"Understood, then go ahead, don't keep me here watching the show!"
At this point, the young man in blue became rather impatient, waved his sleeve, and Feng Bingwen's body was thrown backward. As his head dipped slightly, his consciousness immediately returned.
"Watching the show? What show are you watching?"
Feng Bingwen couldn't help but look up at the sky. The answer was obvious, but unfortunately, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't see anything.
Wow, that's incredibly extravagant!
After setting aside matters that were temporarily irrelevant to him, Feng Bingwen recalled the gains from this dream: a hidden, unexplored secret realm concealed in the void.
Among them were many special flames collected by an ancient elder. Those that caught his eye and were collected must have been extraordinary.
Just thinking about it made Feng Bingwen's heart flutter. He was born with the Five Elements Dao Body, and among all the spiritual objects in the world, apart from those of too low grade that he looked down upon, there were few that could not be compatible with him as long as they were of excellent quality.
However, while he might be tempted, Feng Bingwen would never make such a fundamental mistake. Greed is a universal human trait; if one were without desires, what would be the point of cultivating the Dao? What would be the point of seeking immortality, let alone attaining the Dao of longevity?
Greed is acceptable, but it must be restrained. Indulging in desires without restraint is the path of evil. One day, such behavior will inevitably lead to disaster and a tragic end.
"What's meant to be mine will come to me, and what's not mine, I'd feel guilty taking it!"
Feng Bingwen muttered to himself. He raised his head and looked into the distance, where he immediately spotted Senior Sister Luo Lingxiao, who was already refining pills beside the corpse of the Heavenly Serpent.
Without a doubt, based solely on the quality of the alchemy materials, as long as the furnace doesn't explode during the refining process, any pill successfully formed will undoubtedly be a divine elixir. This will be greatly beneficial to him, bringing him considerable advantages.
"If I were to give that secret realm to Senior Sister Luo, she would be able to give me whatever I asked for in the future. Even a hundred or eighty immortal pills would be no problem for her. With such resources, I could probably skip the cultivation accumulation of the Cave Profound Realm directly. What I need to think about later is my understanding of the Dao."
As he thought about it, Feng Bingwen almost burst out laughing.
The existence of innate deities cannot be revealed to Senior Sister Luo. Although this matter is probably an open secret among the higher-ups of the Supreme Dao, the disciples below are still completely unaware of it.
Since that's the case, if Feng Bingwen wants to give that secret realm to Senior Sister Luo, he'll probably have to find a different excuse, and there's a lot of room for maneuver in that.
If he were more morally corrupt, he might be able to win his senior sister's heart and gain both love and medicine.
Of course, this operation was too difficult. Feng Bingwen felt that he was not cut out for it, nor did he think that he would be more important to this senior sister than a few pill formulas.
Even if it's a mindless move, simply sending the secret realm away will surely earn this senior sister's great favor, leaving her with an indebted debt that's hard to repay.
If you calculate it that way, it's no wonder that the second brother wouldn't give him a penny. He's a typical example of someone who gets a good deal but then complains, greedy and never satisfied.
Ten days later, Feng Bingwen tasted the freshly made Heavenly Serpent Divine Blood Pill and, under Senior Sister Luo's expectant gaze, offered his evaluation.
"Even for those martial artists who have honed their physique to the extreme through martial arts, this pill can further enhance their physique. It's hard to say about its grade; you know better than me how to judge that. I can only say that in terms of medicinal power, it's stronger than the ones you gave me before!"
Feng Bingwen shared his experience: ever since he inherited the innate primordial energy of that supreme being, his physique had already reached an inhuman level. Except for when he was undergoing the tribulation to become an immortal and was tempered by heavenly lightning, which unlocked more potential, he has not made any progress since.
But now, a pill made from the remains of a celestial serpent has allowed him to once again feel the enhancement of his physique and the increase of his blood energy.
"It seems my cultivation level is insufficient!"
Watching Feng Bingwen easily swallow the pill without any apparent abnormality, Luo Lingxiao lowered her head, her brows furrowed. She knew that her junior brother had an extraordinary physique, but the materials she had used to refine the pill this time were even more remarkable, and the effect was far worse than she had expected.
With her current cultivation level, she can refine a third-grade immortal pill if she puts all her effort into it. And these are the materials used for refining pills. Theoretically, she should be able to refine a sixth-grade immortal pill.
However, judging by her own assessment, the current grade is still third-tier. The problem lies with the alchemist herself; her cultivation level is holding her back. Even with the use of secret techniques, it still affects the grade of the pills.
"Senior sister, are you preparing to undergo your tribulation?"
Seeing the senior sister in front of him looking worried and troubled, Feng Bingwen immediately stepped forward with enthusiasm.
"I still lack experience and foundation!"
"That's quite a coincidence. I happen to know of a secret realm with a pill fire that would be perfect for Senior Sister."
