My Master Knows It All

778: Chapter 230_1 778: Chapter 230_1 Heretical Golden Cores can be continuously strengthened.

However, the strengthening of a Heretical Golden Core is not something that can simply be done at will; concocting a Heretical Golden Core requires various herbs.

And for the Second Layer of the Heretical Golden Core, various materials are needed.

But when it comes to the Third Layer of the Heretical Golden Core, assorted auxiliary materials are not sufficient—it requires a Spirit Pill.

The so-called Spirit Pill is not the miraculous panacea people often talk about, but rather a kind of spirituality, a sort of instinctive spirit.

This spirit is different from the legendary Sword Spirit, which even possesses its own intelligence.

But according to Master Zhang’s alchemy theories and records, although the Spirit Pill has some life essence, it does not possess intelligence; it’s merely a pure instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

As recorded, the Spirit Pill is indeed like this, wrapped by dense vapors, shining brightly, rounder and more flawless than the Best Quality pills.

The pill in front of him was a Spirit Pill!

He certainly could concoct a Spirit Pill too, only, the herbs needed to concoct a Spirit Pill were not commonly precious and rare.

Especially since concocting a Spirit Pill absolutely requires one type of herb, known as the Hundred Spirit Immortals Fruit.

Even within the Hundred Peaks Sect, not a single Hundred Spirit Immortals Fruit could be found, and naturally, a Spirit Pill could not be concocted.

Yet now, a Spirit Pill appeared before his eyes.

Moreover, the medicinal properties of this Spirit Pill.

Cao Zhen sniffed hard, inhaling the fragrance wafting through the air, a pleased expression blooming on his face.

The Spirit Pill is akin to a Best Quality pill and can be considered a gauge of the pill’s quality.

There are many different kinds of alchemy.

And the Spirit Pill before him was clearly a Calamity Avoidance Pill!

As the name suggests, a Calamity Avoidance Pill is a type of pill that helps one successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

The type of Spirit Pill used for the Third Layer of the Heretical Golden Core determines the course ahead.

If it’s an offensive Spirit Pill, then the Heretical Golden Core would be more proficient in attacking; if it’s a Flame Spirit Pill, then naturally, the might of the Flame Divine Power utilized in combination with the Heretical Golden Core would be stronger.

If it is a Calamity Avoidance Pill.

That means, in the future, when using the Heretical Golden Core, it would be easier to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

It may not increase combat ability and may seem not strong, but the issue here is—it’s about the Heavenly Tribulation!

Combat abilities can be relied on others for a lying win.

But the Heavenly Tribulation is critical.

Who knows how many powerful beings have perished during their Heavenly Tribulation.

Not to mention anything else, just the Wind Fire Tribulation!

Those who can cultivate to the Wind Fire Tribulation cannot be said to have poor talent.

Yet, who knows how many, despite being well prepared and feeling certain to overcome the tribulation, still perished.

With the Heavenly Tribulation Pill, it would be easier for me to face future tribulations, which is a huge help to myself.

This pill suits me perfectly!

The key lies in how to get this pill into my hands.

Cao Zhen looked at the tornado before him, frowning deeply.

Suddenly, in the next moment, a Wind Blade swiftly shot out within the tornado, aiming straight at the Spirit Pill before him.

Panic immediately set in Cao Zhen’s heart; he had just spotted the Spirit Pill and hadn’t yet figured out how to acquire it—was it about to be destroyed?

The Wind Blade that descended could instantly eliminate Ling Xi’s and Yan Yourong’s cast spells, let alone a single pill.

However, in the next moment, the Spirit Pill seemed as if it had eyes, as if it had intelligence, darting swiftly to one side, evading the descending Wind Blade.

Outside the canyon, Linghu Gudu suddenly widened his eyes in shock, pointing at the dazzling pill within the tornado and exclaiming, “Did you see that?

That pill just dodged.

How did it dodge?

Does it possess intelligence?

What kind of pill is this?”

In all his years of wandering and traveling, he had never seen such a miraculous pill; in fact, he had not even heard of such a pill existing in the world.

Is this still a pill?

Cao Zhen finally saw firsthand what the so-called instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm was.

After Linghu Gudu’s question, he found everyone looking at Cao Zhen, and so he followed their gaze.

Feeling everyone’s attention, Cao Zhen slowly said, “This is a Spirit Pill.”

Linghu Gudu immediately asked, “A Spirit Pill?

What kind of Spirit Pill?

Does it have the kind of spirit that a Sword Spirit possesses, or what?”

After pondering, Cao Zhen began to explain, “You can consider it a pill with a spirit.

And this Spirit Pill is a Calamity Avoidance Pill.

This…”

Cao Zhen was about to say that this pill would be useful to them, that he wanted this pill, but before he could fully articulate it, a series of crackling sounds suddenly filled the air.

The fierce wind in the canyon began to blow even more furiously.

Furthermore, not only within the canyon, but also all around them, violent winds started to rise, the severe gales uprooting the wild grass on the ground and even thick trees that required three people to embrace, one by one!

The force of the wind was both fierce and sudden.

Amidst the fierce wind, the skeletons within the tornado were thrown out, landing outside the canyon.

In the next moment, moonlight poured down from the sky.

“That’s moonlight!” Linghu Gudu’s expression suddenly changed; the light at the edge of the moonlight was indeed bright, but the middle of the moonlight was pitch black, as dark as the night.

On the ground, as soon as the skeletons were illuminated by the moonlight, they immediately began to emit strong scents of death.
