From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 180 They are all old foxes

Qing Yi echoed, "Brother Man is right. I always value my promises and would never do anything to offend anyone."

But Qin Sheng's next words made the old fox's expression change abruptly: "I'm afraid that even if Fellow Daoist Qing obtains the Heaven-Mending Pill, he won't be able to break through his realm and extend his lifespan."

The two men, thinking Qin Sheng was about to go back on his word, became wary. The bearded man said with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you mean? Are you perhaps planning to abandon me after I've served my purpose?"

Although Qin Sheng's Eight Gates Golden Light Mirror made him extremely wary and dare not fight him head-on, it did not mean that he was a pushover.

If Qin Sheng dares to turn against us, then at worst we'll spread the word and make him an enemy of both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the Star Palace.

"What I mean is clear to Fellow Daoist Man, isn't it? Perhaps Fellow Daoist Man hasn't taken the Heaven-Mending Pill yet?"

Qin Sheng said without changing his expression.

"Could it be that the Heaven-Mending Pill isn't as miraculous as the rumors suggest?"

Qingyi Laogui's expression immediately turned ugly, and he looked at Man Huzi with an unfriendly expression.

Indeed, twenty years have passed. It's impossible that this old demon hasn't taken the Heaven-Mending Pill, yet his cultivation level remains exactly the same as before.

Nine times out of ten, the Heaven-Mending Pill did not provide him with any benefit.

But this old devil still made him risk such a huge danger to come here, which is truly despicable.

Isn't this clearly using him as a pawn?

"I once searched the soul of the Xuan Gu Old Demon and learned that he had personally captured a Star Palace elder alive. By searching his soul, I learned the truth about the Heaven-Mending Pill. The true effect of the Heaven-Mending Pill is not to increase lifespan or improve cultivation, but to cleanse the spiritual root. Its true effect is no different from candy for us Nascent Soul cultivators. The rumor of rejuvenation is just a means for the Star Palace to lure cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths into the Void Heaven Palace for ambush."

Qin Sheng explained.

"No wonder I didn't experience any changes after taking the Heaven-Mending Pill. It turns out it was the Star Palace's doing again. Wait, Golden Light Old Demon, you tricked me. So you already knew the secret of the Heaven-Mending Pill, just so you could get me to help you seize the Void Heaven Cauldron."

Barbarian Beard first realized what was happening, then flew into a rage.

Qingyi, who was standing nearby, sensed the hidden meaning in Qin Sheng's words and hurriedly advised, "Brother Man, don't be in a hurry. Let's hear what Brother Qin has to say first."

The barbarian was already very wary of Qin Sheng, and upon hearing Qing Yi's words, he gave a cold snort and readily agreed.

Qin Sheng smiled nonchalantly, "Aren't you two curious about what's inside the Void Heaven Palace? Well, I'm just as curious. Let's take a look first."

After saying that, he led the two of them to the secluded place.

Here, they saw Mrs. Wen.

Although her cultivation level was no different from before, her temperament was no longer aloof. Instead, she gave people a relaxed feeling, as if she had finally been freed from some kind of burden.

"It seems that Miss Bai has already lifted the divine-suppressing spell that old demon Liudao placed on you."

Qin Sheng looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a gentle expression and smiled.

Forbidden God Technique?
Qingyi the Old Ghost and Manhuzi looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they came, Manhuzi had already mentioned that Madam Wen had been invited to participate in this trip to the Void Heaven Palace.

Unexpectedly, it was all to break the divine-suppressing spell on his body. And that Six Paths Old Demon truly lives up to his reputation as the number one cultivator of the demonic path; years ago, he almost sacrificed his own sister to become a refined corpse, which led her to side with the Star Palace and become one of the Star Palace's Twin Saints!

Now they're even going after their own Daoist partner.

"All of this is thanks to Brother Qin's Breaking Calamity Pill. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would still be under the shackles of that Six Paths Old Demon."

Madam Wen smiled gently.

To be honest, this Calamity-Breaking Pill was truly beyond her expectations. It not only broke the divine-suppressing spell that the Six Paths Old Demon had placed on her.

Along with this, some other hidden restrictions placed on her were also broken.

"Now that Miss Bai has emerged from seclusion, let's take a look at what treasures are still inside this Void Heaven Cauldron."

Over the past twenty years, Qin Sheng has not only devoured and refined the Azure Ice Flame to upgrade the Burning Technique and advance to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but also...

He has also mastered the first level of the Void Heaven Cauldron's Treasure-Gathering Technique. Now he can absorb it into his body and cultivate it like a natal magic weapon.

As Qin Sheng spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out an ancient bronze cauldron, which transformed into a cauldron over ten feet tall and appeared in the hall.

Both the bearded man and the old ghost Qingyi stared wide-eyed, and even Madam Wen looked at the cauldron with great curiosity.

After all, this is the number one secret treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea.

No cultivator could remain unmoved after seeing it.

At this moment, if Qin Sheng hadn't been the one holding the cauldron, they probably would have already started a fight and tried to seize it.

Under Qin Sheng's control, the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron opened automatically, and two Heaven-Mending Pills slowly floated out.

Seeing the two pills, Qing Yi's face showed a mixture of excitement and helplessness. "Alas, this Void Heaven Cauldron has existed for countless years. Even if it contained many treasures, over tens of thousands of years, they would have been gradually taken away. Now, only two Heaven-Mending Pills remain. Unfortunately, they are of no use to us Nascent Soul cultivators. What a pity!"

Qin Sheng opened his mouth and put the Void Heaven Cauldron away again.

The bearded man asked in confusion, "Since the Heaven-Mending Pill is useless to us Nascent Soul cultivators, then how did you manage to break through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in just a few decades?"

As soon as he said that, Barbarian Beard regretted it. If the other party were still a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, it would be fine, but now the other party is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul just like him, and possesses a great treasure. Asking such a question is no different from provoking the other party.

Of course, given his temper, he's unlikely to apologize.

"Fellow Daoist Man, are you questioning me, Qin?"

Qin Sheng raised his hand and held the two Heaven-Mending Pills in his palm, squinting at the bearded man.

Just as tensions were about to escalate, Qingyi Laogui, worried that he would not only fail to gain any benefits but also suffer collateral damage, stepped in to smooth things over.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Fellow Daoist Qin knows that Brother Man is always straightforward and has no ill intentions. You've said so much to us earlier, so you must have something to tell us. Fellow Daoist Qin, please speak frankly."

"That old fox," Qin Sheng casually tossed one of the two Heaven-Mending Pills to the barbarian bearded man, saying:
"It's nothing. Originally, I wanted to make a deal with you two. Since Fellow Daoist Man is so reckless, there's no need to continue the discussion. This is what I promised you back then. Now, I've only taken the Void Heaven Cauldron and a Heaven-Mending Pill. The deal is done. I won't see you off any further, lest the Six Paths Old Demon comes and you two suffer collateral damage."

Upon hearing this, Manhuzi and Qingyi began to consider the pros and cons.
