"You are the Flying Immortal Pot?"
Although Qi Xiu had long speculated about the appearance of this sacred artifact, upon hearing the old man, with his hollow eyes and face full of sores, claim to be the "Flying Immortal Pot" that the Sect Master instructed him to find, Qi Xiu still showed a trace of surprise.
Seeming to have guessed Qi Xiu's reaction, the old man, claiming to be the Flying Immortal Pot, let out a hoarse laugh:
"You are surprised that the legendary Alchemical Dao Divine Instrunt looks like this, aren't you?"
Disregarding the old man's slightly mocking tone, Qi Xiu responded with a candid smile:
"It is indeed sowhat unexpected. Seeing your venerable appearance, anyone would be taken aback."
Stunned by Qi Xiu's frank words, the old man raised his sunken eyes, looking at the young Daoist before him:
"You, young one, are quite bold with your words.
To traverse the Red Lotus Karmic Fire with the presence of a Dao Body, you indeed have so skills.
However, if you want to take away, I'm afraid you might be disappointed."
"Oh? What do you an by that, sir?"
Raising an eyebrow, Qi Xiu slowly stepped forward, his robe fluttering, and wherever he went, the imposing pressure caused the surging Red Lotus Karmic Fire to scatter to the sides.
Suppressing the sea of fire, Qi Xiu approached the old man, his gaze slightly changing, examining the elder transford by the sacred artifact at close range.
"Haha, I did not an to underestimate you, young one.
But I am afflicted with a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, self-sealed with the Ten Thousand Soldiers Penalty, barely clinging to life.
Even if you take away, I cannot be of use to you.
If the backlash within erupts, it would bring endless harm, benefiting you not at all."
Shrugging with a smile, the old man slowly revealed the truth of why he could not leave.
"Even a divine artifact can suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?"
The explanation from the Flying Immortal Pot deepened the doubt in Qi Xiu's eyes.
"The Heavenly Dao is above all. Any act against the heavens, even the Primordial Spirit True Honor, can face suppression, and divine artifacts are the sa."
Seemingly out of contact with people for a long ti, the old man was willing to answer Qi Xiu's continuous questions, speaking at a normal pace.
After hearing the old man's explanation, Qi Xiu was silent for a mont, then with a strange expression, lifted his eyes to glance at him:
"An illustrious Great Dao Divine Artifact, rebuffed to such a state.
Can you tell , sir, did you violate the Heavenly Law?"
"Hahaha."
Amused by Qi Xiu's question, the old man laughed heartily, but the laughter tugged at his sores, causing him to endure the pain and take a deep breath:
"Your taphor is vivid indeed.
But it was not as serious as violating the Heavenly Law.
I only helped a young friend, refining an elixir.
However, the vigor of that elixir.
Was a bit too much."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu was taken aback.
What elixir could force a Great Dao Divine Artifact into a self-seal from backlash?
Was it the Immortal Pill?
"What elixir has such trendous vigor?" Holding an attitude of asking when in doubt, Qi Xiu sincerely asked.
"Naturally, it is my proudest creation, the Flying Immortal Pill!"
Upon ntioning the "Flying Immortal Pill," the corners of the old man's mouth unconsciously curled up high, even though he was reduced to such a wretched state by backlash, this elixir remained his greatest pride.
"It truly is the Immortal Pill..."
Upon hearing the na "Flying Immortal Pill," Qi Xiu's mouth slightly opened.
With the skill in alchemy, he too considered himself a master of the dicine Path.
Though he had not heard of the Flying Immortal Pot, he had co across the Immortal Pill, the Flying Immortal Pill, in a book called "Annotations on the Ultimate Elixir Dao."
Flying Immortal Pill.
Also known as: Instant Sainthood!
It is the only elixir in the Great Luo for All Eternity that could be called an Immortal Pill.
And the efficacy of this Immortal Pill is singular!
To instantly exalt one to sainthood, becoming a Primordial Spirit True Honor, master of the Great Dao!
When he first read the introduction of the Flying Immortal Pill in the "Annotations on the Ultimate Elixir Dao," he had so doubts, for apart from the na and its unbelievable effects,
no formula or specific thod of refinent had been recorded.
Thus, at that ti, he thought this so-called Immortal Pill was likely just a fignt of later generations' imagination, rather than an actual existence.
Yet today, hearing the term "Flying Immortal Pill" again from the mouth of the Flying Immortal Pot, his past suspicions were suddenly dispelled.
"You understand."
Though his eyes were gouged out, the old man seed to perceive the surprise on Qi Xiu's face:
"Now you know why I'm in such a state of backlash,
Refining an Immortal Pill is a grave sin against the heavens. If Little Friend Li hadn't helped alleviate ninety percent of the backlash,
the Flying Immortal Pot would have long vanished from this world.
Even so, the remaining ten percent backlash nearly cost these old bones."
"For you to risk your life to refine an elixir, your bond with that young friend must be quite extraordinary...
Wait, did you say your young friend's surna is Li?"
With a change of expression, Qi Xiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Near Ancient Era... surna Li... able even to reduce the Heavenly Dao backlash...
A series of information flashed through Qi Xiu's mind, eventually integrating into a na that exerts pressure across ancient, present, and future, leaving a significant mark on the prowess of the Human Race — Li Zhexian!
"May I ask, sir... Is the Little Friend Li you ntioned the Sword Sect Master back in the years..."
"It's him."
Oh hell...
Even with his mind tempered to remain unshaken by the collapse of Mount Tai, Qi Xiu couldn't help but utter an expletive in his heart at this mont.
Quickly rotating the Golden Cry Jade Beads on his wrist, Qi Xiu's pupils constricted and trembled slightly.
Sothing's wrong, nine parts out of ten it's wrong.
Li Zhexian himself is the Primordial Spirit True Honor, and he's the invincible "number one" of this era, what does he need the Flying Immortal Pill for?
Regarding this supre cultivator of the Near Ancient Era, even recognized by the Primordial Heaven Human Race, Qi Xiu's ears have never lacked legends about him.
Whether it's the Nine Deaths Immortal Heavenly Skill that Gao Tianxiong used to rebirth, or the Valley of Deceased Gods buried with countless deities, or the sword that triggered the epic war between the Human Race and demons in the Southern Ming Wasteland, all were acknowledgnts of this supre cultivator.
Yet, such a legendary being can't be found in any concrete records.
It's not that there are few records, but rather none at all.
It's as if all records about this supre cultivator have been deliberately erased, never spoken of.
All he hears about Li Zhexian cos from oral tradition.
And whether it's the Supre Sect Leader Dongfang Qing or other Primordial Spirit True Honors he's encountered, they all seem to be deeply secretive about this supre cultivator, unwilling even to ntion his na.
Obviously a human powerhouse that shines across the ages, yet surrounded by heavy layers of doubt.
What happened amidst all this?
He feels as if he's vaguely grasped a thread that could unravel the whole truth, but when Qi Xiu wants to pursue it downward, immovable layers of mist, like towering mountains, block the way.
"Isn't that one himself a Primordial Spirit True Honor, what does he need the Flying Immortal Pill for."
After a brief silence, Qi Xiu presented his doubts to the old man who personally refined the Flying Immortal Pill right before him.
"I asked him back then too, but he didn't want to say more, just ntioning it was to fulfill an old friend's wish.
Alright, kid, I've told you everything I needed to, you better head back.
Perhaps another little three to five thousand years, when the Heavenly Dao Backlash on is almost faded, then you can co find , and we'll have a good chat."
Waving his hand, the old man seed a bit weary and bowed his head, his voice gradually dimming.
A little three to five thousand years?
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu shook his head with a light laugh, knowing this old gentleman was transford by the spirit of a Great Dao Divine Artifact and has a long life span, three to five thousand years is nothing to him.
But for those not at the Primordial Spirit level, even a True Monarch of the Dao Body has only a three thousand year lifespan.
He consud the Immortal Peach and experienced countless adventures, now having a lifespan nearing eight thousand, three to five thousand years is almost half his life.
Gazing at the seemingly asleep old man before him, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
No way would he just leave like that.
But is there a way to help the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit escape the Heavenly Dao Backlash?
Heavenly Dao Backlash...
Heavenly Dao Backlash...
Heavenly Dao Backlash...
Murmuring lightly, a trace of Spiritual Light flashed in Qi Xiu's eyes.
Heavenly Dao... Human Dao...
Humans triumph over heaven...
"I've got it!"
A low shout, and Qi Xiu's eyes shone with Divine Light.
If it's Heavenly Dao Backlash, then I'll confront it with Human Dao.
With this thought, a rit Golden Wheel, vast, clear, gentle, and majestic, suddenly appeared behind Qi Xiu, its imnse and heavy rit Golden Light falling and enveloping all sides.
Under the illumination of this pure and pristine golden light, even the surrounding Red Lotus Karmic Fire dimd considerably.
And when the rit Golden Light shone upon the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit, the old man who had bowed his head and remained silent suddenly lifted his head, his sunken eyes fixated on Qi Xiu's rit Golden Wheel.
"Human Path rit! Kid, you have such fortune!?"
His tone was full of surprise, sensing the extrely dense Human Path rit power, the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit marveled:
"Such grand rit aura, you don't appear to be very old, yet have such rit, could it be you're a reincarnation of a Nine Lives Good Man?
No, no, a Nine Lives Good Man couldn't accumulate such vast rit.
Kid, how about you and I strike a deal?"
The transition in tone and pitch from the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit made Qi Xiu's lips curl slightly, realizing his thinking was correct.
Human Path rit could indeed help the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit dispel the Heavenly Dao Backlash.
"Please speak, sir."
Although the fish had bitten, Qi Xiu decided it was better to hold back a bit longer.
"You coming to find ans you know my capabilities, let's make a trade, you dispel the Heavenly Dao Backlash on , and I'll follow your commands for a century, how's that?"
Tilting his head, the Flying Immortal Pot's Spirit smiled while laying out his terms:
"I am the Alchemical Dao Divine Instrunt, capable of creating universal elixirs, there's none I can't refine, with my assistance, you'll have endless elixirs."
"A century?"
Raising an eyebrow, Qi Xiu chuckled as he gathered his sleeves:
"But just now didn't you say a little three to five thousand years?
Why is it just a century with .
Sir, you're being quite unkind."
