Chapter 1541: Chapter 833: Refining Treasure and Selecting People (Part 2)

Qingxu Zi was about to speak again when he saw Zhao Sheng’s face light up with joy, and suddenly he laughed: "Haha, today is indeed an auspicious day, double happiness has arrived!"

As soon as the words fell, Qingxu Zi suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, as if it came from the heavens.

He raised his head, looking toward the sky, and suddenly saw a Great Sun slowly descending from the heavenly vault, heading directly toward this volcanic crater.

The Great Sun fell rapidly like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, it had plunged into the volcanic crater, only to dim rapidly at this moment.

At the same instant, an ancient three-legged, six-eared elixir furnace appeared deep within the Great Sun.

The alchemy furnace was only the size of a head, with a cover on top condensed with the manifestation of dragons and tigers, elixir clouds gathered densely, exuding an extremely rich elixir fragrance.

Just as the Great Sun quickly dimmed and vanished, the three-legged elixir furnace transformed into a mass of radiance, falling directly in front of Zhao Sheng, suddenly suspended motionless.

Zhao Sheng swept his large sleeve, and the lid of the furnace flew high instantly, three beams of golden light shot out from inside the furnace, shooting in all directions.

At this moment, a vast and powerful divine thought swept out, instantly covering the surrounding thousand feet of the void, immediately freezing all the golden cores mid-air.

With a flicker of a thought, the three golden cores flew back in reverse, obediently flying into the sleeve, disappearing without a trace.

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Qingxu Zi still saw the appearance of the golden cores, his heart was suddenly startled, he hurriedly asked: "Master, were those just now... the Fourth-grade top-grade treasure pill, Yuxu Primordial Spirit Pill?!"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "Daoist, what sharp eyes you have. Yes, that was indeed the Yuxu Primordial Spirit Pill. This elixir has been nurturing for a whole year, and it happened to be born today."

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Zi’s expression showed some emotions: "I have long heard of the master’s three excellences in Dan, Artifact, and Talisman. I never thought it was true. If Master can refine the Yuxu Primordial Spirit Pill, you must be an Alchemy Grandmaster. I never expected master to have such a high level of skill in alchemy, I thought..."

At the end of his words, Qingxu Zi hesitated, his expression showing a bit of awkwardness.

"Hehe, compared to the path of cultivation, alchemy and artifact refining are just minor arts! Daoist Qingxu, your talent is exceptional, and with the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order to protect you, you will certainly be able to pass the heavenly tribulation and ascend to Returning to Void in the future. Just this one point, I am far from reaching."

Qingxu Zi showed a bitter expression: "Returning to Void is so difficult! Even with the Thunder Emperor Tribulation Order, I only have a ten percent chance at most."

"Forget it, let’s not talk about this. This Daoist wishes to seek two Yuxu Primordial Spirit Pills, is it possible for Master to share a few?"

Zhao Sheng laughed and said, "As long as the Daoist can afford the price, even if all three were given to you, what harm is there?"

Qingxu Zi was overjoyed, hurriedly expressing: "All three Primordial Spirit Pills, I want them all. May I ask what Master desires?"

"What this old man wants is no secret to the world. If the Daoist has the heart, it would be best to bring me some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with Five Elements and space-time attributes, the more the better, this old man welcomes it all," Zhao Sheng said without hesitation.

Qingxu Zi couldn’t help but glance at the surrounding environment when he heard this, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"It’s a deal! I will quickly find the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that the master needs. Just one more thing, I hope the master can temporarily keep these three Primordial Spirit Pills a secret. I know this request is a bit presumptuous, but—"

"There’s no need to say it! This old man agrees." Zhao Sheng was very clear why Qingxu Zi was so, it was because the Yuxu Primordial Spirit Pill is a top-grade treasure pill that nourishes the Divine Soul and enhances divine thought.

This pill greatly benefits those crossing tribulations, naturally making it one of the most coveted Fourth-grade treasure pills by countless Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

Zhao Sheng, in refining this elixir, had no need to barter treasures, no matter who it was exchanged with.

At this moment, giving it to Qingxu Zi not only earned a favor but also saved him from having to waste words, why not enjoy it.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng personally sent Qingxu Zi out of the cave mansion, watching him go off into the distance.

He just wanted to turn back to the cave mansion when he sensed seven or eight strands of divine thought piercing through the void, and streams of voices instantly reached his ears.

"Master Shaoling, please hold on! I am Qi Wufeng..."

"...I, Lei Huai, hope Taoist Zhao can show some consideration..."

"Senior Zhao, I have a supreme treasure..."

"I am a disciple under Red Cloud Venerable... My master wishes to invite the master to take action once..."

Zhao Sheng expressionlessly turned around and entered the cave mansion, the door booming shut, instantly blocking out all divine thoughts and prying gazes.

Just over thirty days, and Qingxu Zi returned for another visit.

Not long after, he walked out of the cave mansion with a calm expression, then left leisurely by riding a cloud.

...

Clink clink clink!

At the foot of a seventy to eighty meters high ice mountain, a sound of clattering ice chiseling could be heard from afar.

At this moment, a tall and sturdy figure stood in front of a cliff, raising a pickaxe high with both hands, vigorously chiseling the ice crystal in front of him.

Before long, the ground was littered with a pile of ice blocks, the cliff face significantly recessed, revealing the beginnings of a cave over a meter in diameter.

Three or four meters away, Zhao Sheng clasped his hands in his sleeves, watching the tall young man diligently chiseling away at the cave, smiling as he spoke: "Little Zizi, tired yet! Want to take a break?"

"No, Senior Zhao, I’m not tired." The tall young man replied without looking back, while the pickaxe in his hand spun swiftly like lightning, as if afraid of losing the job.

Hehe, silly boy!

Watching the young man working hard, Zhao Sheng’s face showed a trace of satisfaction.

The person before him was the lucky one he had carefully selected.

This young man was named Huangfu Yuli, from a Constant Sand World called Daze Realm, whose cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but his physical quality was good, seemingly possessing some ancient human race bloodline.

This young man, due to his innate talent, was noticed early on by his master and taken as a disciple.

His master, Old Man Nanhua, was an Immortal Ruins Guest, who accepted Huangfu Yuli as a disciple after discerning his space-time talent.

A few days ago, Old Man Nanhua accidentally perished on Jixian Island.

Huangfu Yuli waited and waited, but his master never returned to this realm, so he knew his master’s fate was unfortunate.

This young man racked his brains to collect enough Void Nether Stone, then used the method taught by his master, successfully opened a space-time vortex, reaching Jixian Island for the first time.

Then, he almost got trapped there to death, luckily Zhao Sheng intervened just in time, saving his little life.

What sort of skill does Zhao Sheng have, with just a few words he had this young man sincerely convinced, willingly following him here to dig treasures.

Another three quarters of an hour passed, Huangfu Yuli suddenly stopped the pickaxe, excitedly shouting: "Senior, senior come quickly! I found it."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng stepped forward, looking down into the depths of the cave, only to see a leg-thick, slightly curved rib with a jade-like luster embedded under the ice crystal below.

After carefully inspecting it a few times, Zhao Sheng’s lips curled up, smiling as he nodded: "Young man, well done! Now step aside."

Huangfu Yuli compliantly moved aside, making way.

Zhao Sheng stepped past the young man, arriving above the rib, tapping the ice surface lightly with his toe.

Crack!

The thick layer of ice crystal shattered immediately, revealing the complete jade-like rib.

Zhao Sheng reached over to take the thick rib, upon touching it, he knew without doubt that he hadn’t found the wrong thing.

This rib came from a Half-Immortal of the Void, though timeworn, it was preserved remarkably well for some unknown reason.

...

Clink clink clink!

At the foot of a seventy to eighty meters high ice mountain, a sound of clattering ice chiseling could be heard from afar.

At this moment, a tall and sturdy figure stood in front of a cliff, raising a pickaxe high with both hands, vigorously chiseling the ice crystal in front of him.
