"I’m back, made quite a profit this ti," Gu Shanhai returned to the temporary space of the "First Epoch."
Looking at the two rivers and lakes that had now beco the Dashu Dynasty, it must have been because of the update to Huang Yanshan.
After having dinner, Gu Shanhai beca the Royal Housekeeper with the rank of Duke, the kind that retires with the country, which was to say, he got the full treatnt.
Gu Shanhai continued to mix in for about five years or so before coming back.
During this period, he transford a variety of herbal and poisonous plants like golden orchid, hundred and twenty-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, sixty-year-old Ganoderma, Five-split coptis, golden-bodied angelica, Heavenly Eye Beimu, Duanchang Grass, seven-star begonia, Western Regions Mantruo, and others into Spirit Plants.
He could now be said to be a walking poison, especially with the virulent aura becoming even more terrifying.
Besides that, his immunity to various poisons had also beco increasingly strong.
These gains were actually secondary. With these toxic plants, he further developed a range of auras like the Bleeding Aura, Chaos Aura, and so on.
Of course, the greatest gain was mastering the fifth layer of the Green Emperor Longevity Scripture, the "Outer Pill."
After practicing the "Yin Zhenjun’s Five Elents and tals Alchemy," Gu Shanhai’s alchemy beca increasingly skillful. The pills were not just refined with water and fire. There were many thods of refinent, and through self-sufficient ans, Gu Shanhai stockpiled a large number of pills.
Unfortunately, he still couldn’t bring out the full effect of "Yin Zhenjun’s Five Elents and tals Alchemy"; it was not of the herbal type, but rather a Golden Core thod that primarily used preparations like rcury and cinnabar. If he swallowed them, he would probably be able to absorb it, but it was uncertain what exactly he’d absorb.
However, it wasn’t all for nought – it allowed him to form a new technique derived from the principles of the Five Elents and nature.
Naturally, Gu Shanhai wasn’t just blindly following instructions. He extracted only what he needed, discarding the rest.
It was a pity that he still hadn’t re-crafted the Nine Extres Outer Pill, but with the pages from the Ti History Book in hand, he broke even.
Actually, he had been prepared to sacrifice the pill and never expected that Huang Yanshan would actually return it to him.
Casually popping a level 3 Life Extending Pill into his mouth and chewing, he usually treated Life Extending Pills like candy beans, and even developed the Life Purification Pill to reduce drug resistance, roughly three Life Extending Pills to one Life Purification Pill. Although it couldn’t completely eliminate drug resistance, it could reduce it faster.
The main reason was that he couldn’t keep taking them continuously; otherwise, Gu Shanhai could keep increasing his lifespan.
"I’ve truly beco a passive monster this ti," Gu Shanhai’s expression carried satisfaction. The poisonous nature of the acquired Spirit Plants was just one of their effects; they also covered other areas like recovery, immunity, spirit, soul, and more with benefits such as enriching the essence, nourishing yin and yang.
Now if he faced off against Dugu Tiansheng again, even without the Nine Extres Outer Pill, relying on his extre state and pill consumption, he could still fight to a mutual defeat.
Mutual defeat may sound tragic, but in reality, the Nine Extres Outer Pill was like a large energy hack. He used this hack to fight to this state before, but now he could compete without it, which was naturally a win.
There’s no need to think about overwhelming victories anymore. In these nearly five years, Gu Shanhai had spent most of his ti studying "Yin Zhenjun’s Five Elents and tals Alchemy" and deducing the fifth layer of the Green Emperor Longevity Scripture, the "Outer Pill". Most of his ti was spent in deduction, with all his strength improvents relying on the passive system.
For example, his Spirit Root Ability had now reached level D, truly grinded out over ti, making Gu Shanhai begrudge the ti it killed.
He did want to refine Jiu Juez’s essence into the Nine Extres Outer Pill, but then Huang Yanshan gave him a big gift called the Magnetic Field Sky Blade.
With one slash of this thing, Dugu Tiansheng would be done for. It was much more useful than the Nine Extres Outer Pill.
Wearing the Nine Extres Outer Pill against Dugu Tiansheng required him to push himself to the limit and could only be used two or three tis at most. In contrast, the Magnetic Field Sky Blade could be recharged and reused multiple tis. One slash with it, 999 guaranteed, definitely more useful than the Nine Extres Outer Pill. He lacked longevity indeed, but not so much that he had to worry about these pills.
After receiving the Magnetic Field Sky Blade, he decisively stopped going after Jiu Juez’s essence.
"Next, should I look for a Cultivation World?" Gu Shanhai’s gaze wandered among a plethora of worlds, looking for a suitable one.
But upon close inspection, there didn’t seem to be many appropriate worlds. The power levels of these worlds were either too high or too low, simply unsuitable.
It wasn’t like there were no options; he could use a blank invitation to enter, but after much thought, he ultimately didn’t use it.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he estimated the ti and quickly conceived a rather special type of Cultivation World in his mind, which hadn’t appeared yet. It would probably take about three more months to be captured by the "First Epoch" and beco available.
His rebirth indeed caused a butterfly effect, but the impact wasn’t too significant. The player community was vast, the "First Epoch" even vaster; how could such a small matter truly affect the overall strategic picture? He wasn’t that influential.
In this "First Epoch," reborn individuals really didn’t have much sway. After all, he wasn’t the only one.
