“This is a Soul Rejuvenation Herb!”
Little Tian exclaimed in shock.
He studied the herb closer and said, “The Soul Rejuvenation Herb is a rare ingredient used to make medicinal pills that can provide rich nourishment to one’s soul.”
Chu Kuangren’s face lit up at the revelation. “Do you have any recipes for it?”
“Of course.”
Little Tian conjured a recipe page out of thin air and said, “Yin Yang Soul Pill. It is a pill that’s made with the Soul Rejuvenation Herb as its main ingredient. Adding thirty-three other Yin elemental herbs and sixteen other Yang elemental herbs would yield a pill that could greatly strengthen one’s soul by the power of Yin and Yang.”
Chu Kuangren glimpsed at the recipe.
Aside from the Soul Rejuvenation Herb, the other ingredients were also of precious value. Fortunately, it was still considered an affordable ingredient for the Black Heaven Sect.
It was within Chu Kuangren’s capability to follow the recipe.
“Once this pill is refined, my soul energy shall be strengthened even further, and in turn, I’d be able to wield the Emperor Weapons for a longer duration.”
Chu Kuangren murmured to himself. His eyes were now glimmering with excitement.
The Emperor Weapons were his biggest trump card.
However, due to his limited cultivation level, the toll it took on his soul had severely limited his ability to use the Emperor Weapons.
If Chu Kuangren could strengthen his soul, he would undoubtedly be able to wield the Emperor Weapons longer. That in itself was a huge advantage for him.
There was no reason to delay this matter.
After Chu Kuangren mended out the details with Little Tian, he then arranged for someone to prepare the ingredients for the Yin Yang Soul Pill.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren had also made preparations to refine a batch of pills that could strengthen the Daoists’ spiritual power.
Chu Kuangren spent the next couple of days in the alchemy hall.
From time to time, the Black Heaven Sect members would notice a billow of peculiar pill clouds forming above the alchemy hall.
Approximately seven days later, Chu Kuangren was finished refining the Yin Yang Soul Pill and the additional dozens of soul energy enhancement pills.
He gathered Nangong Huang and the other Daoists in the Towering Heaven Palace.
“I’ve called you here today to give you this.” Chu Kuangren revealed the pills to the Daoists.
“These are called the Golden Jade Marrow Pills. It’ll greatly strengthen your soul energies and cultivation level. Bring these back and consume a pill every ten days. In the long term, your spiritual power will increase by at least tenfold.”
“I want all of you to ascend into the Supreme Honorable realm within a year. Can you do it?”
Chu Kuangren asked firmly.
The strongest among these Daoists was Nangong Huang, who was only a mid-stage Honorable. Yet, Chu Kuangren wanted all of them to become Supreme Honorables within a year?!
Such a request was unreasonable.
However, none of them doubted Chu Kuangren.
“Absolutely!”
Nangong Huang nodded and replied firmly.
“We’ll definitely ascend into the Supreme Honorable Realm within a year’s time!”
Murong Xuan and the others made their promises as well. Chu Kuangren could sense their determination in their eyes.
He smiled happily. “Very well.”
Then, he took out the Mindful Emperor Scripture and the Eternal Emperor Scripture. He said with a smile, “These are two Emperor Scriptures. I’ll place them on the highest floor of the scripture library. Feel free to study on your own time.”
When the Emperor Scriptures were revealed, an intimidating Emperor Aura emanated from it.
The Daoists tried hard to resist its oppressive presence.
They stared at the Emperor Scriptures in disbelief.
Did he say Emperor Scriptures?!
It was an item that was much sought after by countless cultivators!
What more, there were two of them?!
The Daoists did not know how to react. The Emperors’ inheritance had been long gone in Firmament Star, hence Emperor Scriptures were incredibly hard to come by.
Not even the unknown lands’ orthodoxies would be capable of showing off two Emperor Scriptures at once.
“The Emperor Scriptures are the documentation of the past Emperors’ insights into the cultivation of Dao. Before you begin, I must emphasize that the journey into Dao is different for everyone. Not even an Emperor’s insight will completely suit you.”
“Hence, take these scriptures as a reference and not an absolute source of truth. In my opinion, the cultivator’s greatest achievement lies not in becoming an Emperor, but in discovering their own path of Dao!”
Chu Kuangren said proudly.
Immediately, Daoist Rhymes seemed to reverberate in the skies.
In the depths of the Black Heaven Sect, the Sages looked towards the Towering Heaven Palace with deep contemplation, as if they had sensed the Daoist Rhymes.
“Just a few remarks are enough to garner a great dharma resonance. The Sect Leader’s understanding of the Dao has far surpassed that of any Sages.”
The Black Heaven Second Forefather lamented.
“I don’t find it surprising at all. The Sect Leader has always managed to slain Sages with minimal effort. I would find it hard to believe if someone claims that his understanding is below a Sage’s level.” the Black Heaven Third Forefather chuckled.
“Indeed.”
In the Towering Heaven Palace.
The words Chu Kuangren uttered had also resonated deeply within himself.
His understanding of Dao was indeed remarkable.
After all, very few could come across the opportunity to gain in-depth insights into four different Emperor Scriptures.
Judging from his understanding of Dao, Chu Kuangren might not even be far off from an Emperor.
The only thing Chu Kuangren lacked was discovering his own path of Dao!
He was still trying to figure out how to achieve such a feat.
After providing further instructions, Chu Kuangren distributed some of the Serpent Deity’s treasure to the Daoists.
The Daoists were burning with passion when they left the hall.
Their visit to the Towering Heaven Palace would mark the beginning of a transformative experience.
Never mind the rest of the items, but the Golden Jade Marrow Pill alone was already a remarkable item that could not be found in most sage orthodoxies.
Yet, the Daoists now found themselves in possession of three bottles of these pills, and each bottle contained a dozen of them!
More impressively, they also now had access to two Emperor Scriptures!
To come in contact with an Emperor’s possession required great fortune, let alone access these Emperors’ records about the ways of Dao.
It was one of the most precious Emperor-Grade treasures one could ever find.
“Lan Yu, thanks for seeing us out.”
The Daoists expressed their gratitude for Lan Yu, who accompanied them to the entrance.
Standing at the entrance, Lan Yu stared at the Daoists with her solemn eyes. “Please remember to not let Master down.”
The Daoist immediately felt a chill down their spines.
The Daoists were so elated from acquiring the precious items that they had almost forgotten the reason behind Chu Kuangren’s gesture.
Having entrusted the precious pills and Emperor Scriptures to them, Chu Kuangren must have great expectations for them to succeed.
The Daoists began to recover their sense of urgency.
“We won’t let the Sect Leader down.”
“That’s right.”
“From tomorrow onwards, I will train many times harder to succeed!”
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the other Daoists said.
As Daoists of the Black Heaven Sect, they were the future pillars of the sage orthodoxy. Chu Kuangren’s expectations aside, they had every reason to work harder than others.
In the Towering Heaven Palace, Chu Kuangren was resting below a tree when Lan Yu approached him. “Master, Nangong Huang and the rest have left.”
Chu Kuangren nodded. “Alright. Now that the Firmament Star is undergoing a drastic change, I’ll surely become everyone’s favorite target. The Daoists are the future of the Black Heaven Sect, so I can only hope they grow faster and become independent soon.”
Chu Kuangren took out a Yin and Yang Ring and passed it to Lan Yu. “I’ve prepared these for you. It’ll be beneficial for your cultivation.”
“Thank you, Master.” Lan Yu gripped onto the ring tightly, her eyes burning with determination. She possessed far greater ambitions than everyone else. It was only with such ambitions that Lan Yu could continue serving alongside Chu Kuangren.
