Chapter 696: Chapter 329: Nascent Soul Pill; Heart Refining Skill

"Celestial Alchemist, I have come today with the hope that you would assist me in refining the Nascent Soul Pill."

With that, Xu Ping took out the Nascent Soul Fruit and some auxiliary Spirit Medicine from his storage bag, placing them on the table.

The Nascent Soul Fruit was crystal clear throughout, emitting a colorful brilliance, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

"Unfortunately, the Spirit Medicine I have prepared is still missing two main ingredients: the Seven-Colored Lotus Seed and the Dragon Beard Vine."

"I wonder if the Celestial Alchemist has these two Spirit Medicines. I am willing to exchange them for Spirit Medicines or other treasures of equal value," Xu Ping said, bowing.

The Celestial Alchemist carefully inspected the Spirit Medicines on the table, especially the Nascent Soul Fruit, which he scrutinized for quite a while.

"The Nascent Soul Pill is an excellent choice for breaking through to the Nascent Soul. This Nascent Soul Fruit is of superior quality, it seems Young Friend Yan has extraordinary luck."

The Celestial Alchemist gently stroked his white beard, his gaze deep, "As for the Seven-Colored Lotus Seed and Dragon Beard Vine, I happen to have some in stock."

His words were understated, but they brought joy to Xu Ping’s heart.

"May I ask, Celestial Alchemist, what Spirit Medicine or treasure you would require in exchange?" Xu Ping immediately inquired.

"I do not need anything else."

The Celestial Alchemist waved his hand, suddenly smiling: "As long as Young Friend Yan agrees to one condition, I am not only willing to give these two main ingredients but also promise to personally refine the Nascent Soul Pill."

"Oh?"

Xu Ping’s heart trembled: "May I ask what the Celestial Alchemist requires of me?"

This figure before him is the most renowned Pill Master of the era, with the backing of the Pill City Alliance and extensive connections.

If he has any requests, they must be extraordinary. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Celestial Alchemist looked at Xu Ping with a blazing gaze: "I value Young Friend Yan’s prospects greatly; just promise me that you will assist me twice in the future."

"If I pass away, then the promise to intervene twice will be passed on to my descendants."

The condition proposed by the Celestial Alchemist was put forward after careful consideration.

This Yan Ruchen has a profound foundation, his combat power extremely formidable.

Furthermore, he has obtained top-quality Spiritual Objects for Nascent Soul Formation which give him a much higher probability of achieving Nascent Soul than ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Once he achieves Nascent Soul, the value of these two interventions will be exceedingly precious.

"Future interventions?" Xu Ping frowned slightly, a flicker of contemplation in his eyes.

To ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivators, this request is not excessive.

Indeed, it could be considered quite advantageous, but he is completely different from ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Once he breaks through to Nascent Soul, his combat power will far exceed those of the same stage; the value of this promise might be akin to two interventions by a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After much deliberation, Xu Ping did not immediately reject: "The Celestial Alchemist, since you have faith in my future potential, must also know of my prowess once I achieve Nascent Soul..."

Although he spoke no further, the meaning was clear—

Once he breaks through to Nascent Soul, the value might far exceed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators; this deal is not fair to him.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Alchemist showed no sign of surprise, instead displaying a knowing smile.

"Then how about I add this on top?"

The Celestial Alchemist spoke with a hint of confidence, as if he had a well-thought-out plan ready.

Then he flicked his finger, and a green jade slip flew towards Xu Ping, like a streak of green light cutting through the air, landing precisely in Xu Ping’s hand.

"What is this?"

Xu Ping reached out to catch it, and his Divine Sense swept over, revealing the three ancient characters "Heart Refining Skill" emerging in his Sea of Consciousness.

With further observation, Xu Ping’s heart suddenly thumped.

The jade slip did not contain an ordinary Cultivation Technique but an extremely rare mental method Secret Technique.

This indeed is a Skill specifically prepared for Nascent Soul breakthroughs, capable of honing one’s mental state and increasing the chances of overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Though its effects can’t compare to the Ten Thousand Tribulation Pill or other Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, it can be used in conjunction with any of these, complementing each other.

Moreover, by leveraging his adept understanding, once he enhances its proficiency, its effects might far surpass expectations.

"A fine thing!"

Xu Ping’s eyes burned as he tightly grasped the jade slip, a surge of desire welling up within him.

He had full confidence in his ability to fracture the core and coalesce the Nascent Soul, as well as overcome the Thunder Tribulation, but he only had seventy to eighty percent confidence in handling the unpredictable Heart Demon Tribulation.

Seventy to eighty percent confidence—how is that different from a path to death?

Thus, this secret technique he was determined to obtain!

"This technique is from an ancient heritage I came across in my youth, tailored specifically for overcoming Nascent Soul," the Celestial Alchemist said with a composed and confident smile.

He believed this was an irresistible temptation for any Golden Core Perfection cultivator.

The Heart Demon Tribulation is the toughest hurdle in the Nascent Soul breakthrough, resulting in many geniuses failing and even falling.

Especially for cultivators with a deep foundation like Yan Ruchen, it is crucial.

After careful consideration, Xu Ping finally nodded: "The Celestial Alchemist’s generosity is greatly appreciated; I am willing to accept this condition."

"However, these two interventions must be within my capabilities."

"Naturally."

The Celestial Alchemist chuckled while stroking his beard, "If your life is endangered, Young Friend Yan may choose to flee for safety."

The Celestial Alchemist also had his own considerations.

Though he relied on the Pill City Alliance, preparation for the great calamity of the Wind Origin Realm invasion was necessary.

This Yan Ruchen possesses extraordinary talent and will undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future; establishing a good relationship with him offers tremendous benefits.

...

After the two signed the contract, the Celestial Alchemist prepared to start refining the pills.

"Young Friend Yan, please be patient for a few days."

After speaking, the Celestial Alchemist headed to the alchemy room to begin refining the pills.

Meanwhile, Xu Ping quietly guarded nearby, starting to study the "Heart Refining Skill."

While he studied the "Heart Refining Skill," in a guest room in Dan Yun City, True Monarch Chixiao, True Monarch Yue Qian, and the Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch were secretly plotting.
