Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Mount Sumeru...

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Jin Chanzi had a mournful face, Zhunti Daoist was also helpless, and Jieyin Daoist remained silent.

How could Zhou Yi's creation of a seventh-order divine pill cause such a sensation throughout the Three Realms? It was unbelievable to countless cultivators who were not optimistic about it, especially the Taiqing Saint, the ancestor of alchemy.

Because, according to common sense, no matter how good his talent for alchemy is!

To refine a seventh-order divine pill, one must at least be at the Golden Immortal level!

This is the result of studying elixirs for over a thousand years. Normally, without talent, let alone a Golden Immortal cultivator, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal or a Daluo Golden Immortal like Wang Lingguan would not be able to refine a seventh-order divine elixir.

But now, Zhou Yi, a mere minor celestial being, has actually achieved enlightenment!

The key rumor is that the other party only had a few months of alchemy experience, making him a complete novice in alchemy. Yet, such a person succeeded. Who can you reason with?

That's definitely cheating!

It definitely inherited the knowledge of alchemy from the great god Pangu!

The legacy of Pangu—is this what they mean by the heaven-defying power of the legacy of Pangu?

At this moment, countless powerful beings in the Three Realms were shocked and amazed more than once, and even more so, they felt envy, jealousy and hatred. He was just a small, born creature from the lower realm, who had unexpectedly received the blessings of Pangu and had risen to prominence.

Why can't they be the ones to receive the blessings left by Pangu?

With the means to refine elixirs, Zhou Yi was able to earn merit, purchase resources, and live a carefree life in the Heavenly Court. Although he might not find great opportunities, he could still be self-sufficient with opportunities at the acquired level.

"I never expected this child to have such an opportunity. My disciple, perhaps we should just let this matter go!"

"After all, the other party is a True Monarch, and even Pangu himself. He can now refine seventh-order divine pills. Such a talent is someone our Buddhist sect might be able to befriend and recruit into our sect, which could also contribute to the prosperity of our Buddhist sect."

Zhunti Daoist sighed and looked at Jin Chanzi.

However, Jin Chanzi shook his head, "Master, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I sense in my heart that my destiny lies with this boy!"

and......

"This disciple has now become fixated on this matter; if it cannot be resolved, this disciple's resolve to cultivate the Dao will be obstructed!"

His words were calm and matter-of-fact, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The Guide Daoist beside him remained silent with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, the Zhunti Daoist pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly...

"Sigh... Well then, I'll hold a Bodhi Pill Gathering in the fourth heaven, the Profound Embryo Peaceful Nurturing Heaven, and invite all the alchemists from the Three Realms. The first place winner will be rewarded with a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure pill furnace, and the top three winners will be given a golden lotus seed of innate merit."

One naturally occurring Bodhi seed! ......

My disciple Zhunti deserves to be willful just once!

The Taoist Master Zhunti still managed to come up with this method.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi's face lit up with joy!

Although the Mysterious Embryo Nurturing Heaven is the fourth heaven, this heaven possesses creation and is a heaven of vitality. Therefore, many alchemists in the Three Realms refine elixirs in this heaven.

Many alchemists have their own dojos in this realm!

Even Laozi would occasionally hold alchemy gatherings in this realm to impart his alchemy insights.

.......

"Bodhi Pill Gathering? Heh, I didn't expect that Daoist Zhunti would still be so shameless, personally getting involved just to deal with a mere Celestial Immortal cultivator."

"But he's getting worse with age." The Supreme Saint of the Tushita Palace chuckled, speechless.

Others may not know, but how could they, as saints, not know the wonders of Western supernatural powers?

That path to the dream world!

Creating a grand dream world, it's more accurate to say that the alchemy gathering was held in a dream world created by the sage, rather than in the Xuan Tai Ping Yu Tian.

Although Zhunti Daoist's dream world was not fully developed and could not reach the level of Jieyin, who could create a vast illusory world with a single thought, according to Taiqing's knowledge, Zhunti's dream world was still extraordinary.

It is still possible to enter the vast world with a single thought and take a half-step.

"Young friend Qinglian is likely to fall into a trap!"

Taiqing Daoist had no intention of intervening. After all, there was no karmic connection between the two, and it wasn't worth making enemies of a sage for a mere unrelated junior celestial being.

"What? The Sage is going to hold the Bodhi Elixir Conference?"

The first prize is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure alchemy furnace, and the top three winners will receive a golden lotus seed and a bodhi seed of innate merit.

"Yes, I just received the message too. I didn't expect the Sage to be so generous, giving away a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure pill furnace right away!"

A top-grade acquired spiritual treasure alchemy furnace must be worth far more than a million merits, right?

"Of course!"

One million merit points can buy at most one top-grade offensive acquired spiritual treasure. A top-grade auxiliary acquired spiritual treasure like this would probably cost 1.5 million merit points.

"And the lotus seeds of innate merit!"

Legend has it that this item can nourish merit and incense offerings, cultivating a primordial spiritual treasure, with the highest being a ninth-grade merit lotus, a superior primordial spiritual treasure.

"Hiss..."

"So generous! Truly generous! No wonder it's a saint's gesture!"

"Hehe, cultivating a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Golden Lotus of Merit, requires a lot of merit. It's better to use that merit to buy other resources for cultivation..."

"What resources can compare to innate spiritual treasures?"

A primordial spiritual treasure can sever the three corpses and attain quasi-sainthood. Can other resources do the same?

Now all the innate treasures in the Three Realms have owners. I wonder how many Great Luo Golden Immortals who have reached the peak of their cultivation cannot advance to Quasi-Saints because they lack innate spiritual treasures that allow them to sever their Three Corpses...

"Yes, I wish I had been born before the Lich King!"

"Before the birth of the Lich?"

After several great calamities, you'd probably be nothing but ashes by now...

Discussions about the Bodhi Pill Gathering circulated throughout the Three Realms, sparking the interest of countless cultivators, not just alchemists, but also many Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Because, as everyone says!

Many Great Immortals don't even possess a single innate spiritual treasure.

The Golden Lotus Seed of Innate Merit is a growth-type innate treasure, which can be cultivated into a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. A high-grade innate spiritual treasure is enough to sever the three corpses.

As for matters that consume a large amount of merit...

This is not something to consider right now!

Azure Lotus Palace!

"Brother, can you really refine this Life-Creating Pill?"

"Fellow Daoist Tianpeng, I can't guarantee this for you. This is a ninth-grade divine pill, which I've never refined before. But you can give it a try!"

However, what I'm curious about is, why did you ask me to refine this Life Creation Pill, Fellow Daoist Tianpeng?

My revered master, Grand Master Xuandu, is a renowned master of alchemy in the Three Realms!

"Laozi is the ancestor of alchemy in the Three Realms. Even if all else fails, you can always seek help from the Heavenly Physicians Department, right?"

Zhou Yi expressed his bewilderment at this.

After Wang Lingguan spread the word that Zhou Yi could refine seventh-order divine pills, the Qinglian Dao Palace was no longer deserted; from time to time, a celestial being seeking pills would come to visit.

Moreover, these immortals and gods are quite powerful.

Most of them were at least Golden Immortals, and some were even Great Luo Golden Immortals. After all, ordinary people couldn't afford divine pills. And today's visitor was Tianpeng, a direct disciple of the third generation of the Human Sect.
