However, the next moment, Shen Gongbao's gaze towards the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill in his hand held a hint of apprehension.
The Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill is formed through nine revolutions, and the transformation of the pill also requires nine revolutions, and it must be transformed by nine layers of thunder tribulation.
Back then, even with all the preparations made and the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning watching over him, Yu Ding Zhenren only managed to withstand the seven tribulations of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill. When the eighth tribulation descended, Yu Ding Zhenren simply chose to give up.
Admittedly, Shen Gongbao does possess certain advantages when facing lightning tribulations in his physical form.
But apart from that, in other respects, he was worlds apart from Yu Ding Zhenren, who had the backing of a sage, and they were completely incomparable.
"Before consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill, one must make thorough preparations; otherwise, even with the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill, it may be difficult to unleash its true power."
Having made up his mind, Shen Gongbao was no longer in a hurry.
………………
Meanwhile, after making his decision, Ao Bing quickly ordered the caravan to head towards Chongcheng.
With the mastermind behind it all, the Long-Browed Immortal, as their guide, Shen Gongbao and the others quickly learned where Chong Houhu was being held.
In Chongcheng, Chong Heihu's prestige was nowhere near that of Chong Houhu, the Marquis of the North. Therefore, although Chong Heihu had imprisoned Chong Houhu through some means before, he did not dare to place him outside his surveillance range.
The place where Chong Heihu imprisoned Chong Houhu was the dungeon of the Chongcheng City Lord's Mansion.
As Shen Gongbao and his group entered the city, Chong Houhu was quickly rescued by the crowd.
There's no need to say more about my gratitude.
From that day on, Shen Gongbao and his companions were directly received by Chong Houhu into the Chongcheng City Lord's Mansion and became honored guests.
Three days later.
Ao Bing narrowed his eyes as he watched Chong Houhu stride into Shen Gongbao's courtyard:
"What is Chong Houhu doing?"
"I've never heard of any connection between the Marquis of Bei and Shen Gongbao before."
Ao Bing's eyes flashed with doubt as he watched Chong Houhu excitedly enter Shen Gongbao's courtyard.
Over the past few days, to express their gratitude to the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion for saving their lives, they have received quite a few rare and precious treasures collected by Chong Houhu.
These rare and precious treasures naturally included Shen Gongbao, but from beginning to end, Chong Houhu never sought out Shen Gongbao alone even once.
This made Ao Bing wonder to himself:
"Could it be that Chong Houhu found out about Shen Gongbao's killing of Chong Heihu?"
The thought had barely crossed Ao Bing's mind when he saw Chong Houhu take out precious materials from his storage bag and hand them to Shen Gongbao without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Ao Bing immediately understood that Chong Houhu must have known about Shen Gongbao's actions and that was why he had come to thank him.
The detailed account of Shen Gongbao killing Chong Heihu was not something they intentionally concealed from Chong Houhu, but rather they worried that Chong Houhu would be ungrateful and, even after being imprisoned by Chong Heihu, would still remember their brotherhood.
However, it now seems that Chong Houhu is not as incapable of distinguishing right from wrong as they imagined.
Seeing the deep gratitude on Chong Houhu's face, Ao Bing finally felt completely relieved.
At this moment, in the small courtyard where Shen Gongbao was.
Chong Houhu smiled broadly:
“Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao, if you hadn’t killed my beastly brother, I would probably still be trapped in that dungeon. Although it is said that great kindness is not something to be thanked for, I, Chong Houhu, am by no means a person who does not repay kindness. I heard that you have been buying array materials these past two days, so I brought all the array materials from my city lord’s mansion over, hoping they will be of some help to you.”
"Of course, since I'm not particularly good at setting up formations, the level of these formation materials is relatively low. Take a look and see if there's anything you can use. If there is, I'll help you purchase some better ones later."
"Let's get this straight first. There's no need to stand on ceremony with my fellow Daoist. I, Chong Houhu, may not have much else, but after all these years as the Marquis of the North, I still have some wealth. I can certainly afford some mere array materials."
The arrival of the Marquis of the North was not too unexpected for Shen Gongbao. After all, there were many people in the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion, and it was impossible for him to keep the fact that he killed Chong Heihu from Chong Houhu, the lord of the northern border.
The only thing that surprised Shen Gongbao was that he never expected Chong Houhu to bring him so many array materials!
In preparation for taking the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill later, Shen Gongbao did look at some materials for setting up formations in Chongcheng these past few days, but because he was short of money, he actually bought very few materials in these three days.
The materials that Chong Houhu presented were mostly things that Shen Gongbao had wanted to buy but couldn't afford in the past few days, and were not as low-level as Chong Houhu claimed.
Since it concerned his own cultivation progress, Shen Gongbao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately looked down to examine it.
Seeing that Shen Gongbao did not refuse his kindness, Chong Houhu became even more excited:
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I don't know much about formations either, so I just brought some over casually."
"Take your time looking. Just tell me what kind of materials you need. As long as they are available in Chongcheng, I will definitely find them for you, Fellow Daoist Shen."
...
Not far away, watching Chong Houhu excitedly making promises to Shen Gongbao, Ao Bing couldn't help but feel curious.
Just then, Chong Houhu bid farewell to Shen Gongbao and walked outside.
Ao Bing only heard Chong Houhu solemnly instruct the guards at the gate:
