Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Top-Grade Pill, Flying Boat

“`

Phew!

Su Ping drank dry the tiger bone wine in his hand and after smacking his lips, he recalled the anomaly that had occurred in the alchemy furnace at the moment of Zhou Xuan’s Pill Completion.

To cultivate the good habit of not being taken by surprise, he would always have the perspectives of Spiritual Rat White and Grey open, if possible.

Therefore, he now recalled the anomaly that had occurred during Pill Completion.

It seemed that when the top-grade pill appeared, a trace of Evil Qi had overflowed from that pill and attached to the other waste pills!

This made Su Ping’s eyes flicker slightly, and he thought of the Immortal Sect’s reminder that spiritual medicine was poisonous and not to be consumed raw, as well as the fact that elite disciples almost exclusively took top-grade pills.

He also remembered hearing when he was doing odd jobs with a logistics senior brother that the inner sect disciples who were chosen and nurtured by the elders from a young age, besides consuming spirit rice and spiritual tea wine, rarely ate other spiritual objects.

Naturally, the pills they took would also only be top-grade pills.

Combining this with the Pill Completion anomaly… Su Ping opened his mouth, and a terrifying conjecture had already surfaced in his mind.

The Immortal Cultivation World might have been contaminated by Evil Qi a long time ago!

The reason that Pill Poison is so terrible isn’t just because the pills themselves are toxic, but more because waste and mid-grade pills are, under alchemy, the dregs that purify the Evil Qi for the top-grade pills!

Moreover, it’s likely not just spiritual medicine that has problems, even demon beast meat and Spiritual Qi Ingredients are contaminated with a degree of Evil Qi, just not as much when compared.

And spirit rice might just be one of the few harmless spirit plants in the Immortal Sect after countless Great Powers’ research and improvement?

“Cultivation is arduous, pitfalls are everywhere!”

“No wonder! The Immortal Sect values alchemy so much, so in pursuit of top-grade pills!”

“Fortunately, I have Purification Spirit Medicine!”

Su Ping thought this and was greatly relieved, his mood stabilized.

Su Ping decided to reward himself with a ten-times draw!

“Having encountered a successful top-grade pill today means it’s a good day!”

“Ten consecutive draws, start!”

Boom boom boom!

A series of white lights appeared before Su Ping.

Trash can, cabinet-style trash can, Moonlight Stone, Wind Listening Pine…

After eight ordinary ones, finally came two purples!

One was a Transmission Spell he had already received but wouldn’t refuse more of.

The other was a Flying Boat that could only be used in the Pot Cave Heaven.

[Heavenly Soldiers Number One Flying Boat, vehicle, quality: Rare, Pot Cave Heaven exclusive, can carry people and short-range instant teleportation]

“I suppose this makes me part of the Immortal Boat clan, with Pot Cave Heaven, I’m a cultivator with high-quality property and boat in the Immortal Cultivation World.”

Su Ping summoned the newly acquired Heavenly Soldiers Number One Flying Boat.

In the blink of an eye, a silver-white Flying Boat about twelve meters long and three meters wide, with a streamlined shape, appeared in the sky.

The exterior of the Flying Boat was exceedingly luxurious, and upon closer inspection, one could see that each inch of luxury was due to the engraving of many Arrays and mystical inscriptions.

Just from the first glance, Su Ping felt that despite being small, his Flying Boat was a whole Great Realm above that Inspection Envoy’s Immortal Boat.

If there were a traffic accident, it would surely be the other party’s Immortal Boat destroyed and the crew dead!

“What a pity, it’s exclusive to Pot Cave Heaven again.”

“But if it were truly universal, I wouldn’t have been able to draw it.”

“Use it to show off and as a vehicle when the Pot Cave Heaven map gets bigger in the future.”

“The future is promising!”

“Today is indeed a good day, not just a guaranteed draw!”

Su Ping boarded the Flying Boat, and as soon as his feet touched the deck, he immediately sensed the method of control.

“`

After familiarizing himself a bit, Su Ping steadily piloted the Flying Boat and arrived at the Bone Burying Ground.

The Black Locust Tree was ready to receive tribute again, and this time, Su Ping chose the Large Striped Fish.

[Abnormal Tree Species, a one-time consumable item, range: 100 meters, rapidly grows an Abnormal Mother Tree upon use; the vines of the Mother Tree will spread across the surrounding 100 meters, randomly producing lethal poison, blood sucking, and paralysis as three negative effects, duration: one hour.]

“This is a summoning for groups, it appears to be stronger than the Strange Tree Species, but if you want to launch a stealth attack, the Strange Tree Species can catch them more off guard!”

After securing the Abnormal Tree Species, Su Ping left the Pot Cave Heaven.

Transformed into the Rat Taoist, Su Ping set out from the East King Temple, relying on the Invisibility Spell to trek across mountains and ridges.

He bypassed those checkpoints and easily entered the interior of Nepal.

In a small city in Nepal that was emerging as a trading hub, Gad City, the mayor was now beaming as he cut the ribbon for a newly opened hotel.

He had no idea why, but lately, several wealthy tycoons from neighboring countries had suddenly come to invest.

Not only were their investments substantial, capable of driving local employment with legitimate businesses,

but the key point was that they paid promptly!

Unlike those curry fellows who would open their mouths and propose billion-dollar deals, only to conclude several months of negotiations with just a hundred thousand in reality…

It left a vast gap between expectations and reality.

The previous mayor, who had handled the festivities, was said to have fallen ill prematurely and gone back to his hometown to recuperate because of this.

The hotel in front was taken over by a generous Eastern investor, who quickly revamped it with templated renovations, and soon after, put it into operation, hiring over a hundred local youths to work.

This stirred the current mayor to participate in the event early in the morning, showing their friendship with these investment firms to the public.

At the moment, President Huang, the investor behind the hotel, was not present, having entrusted a trusted aide to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

He and five other investors, regarded as gods of wealth by the people of Nepal, were preparing for the Rat Taoist’s arrival in a large factory located in the outskirts’ industrial area of the city.

The industrial zone they were in was quite extensive.

Decades ago, it used to be a production base for medical equipment by a large Eastern Ancient Country medical conglomerate.

However, after the conglomerate moved their production base twenty years ago, the area began to decay.

Subsequently, businesspeople from surrounding countries, attracted by the cheap land and existing facilities, came to invest in production.

Unfortunately, their businesses did not last long, and by the time President Huang and his colleagues arrived, the vast industrial zone had shrunk to barely a couple of struggling factories.

The industrial zone’s canteen had long since shut its doors.

President Huang and his partners decided it would be best to take over a small block of all the workshops as their temporary warehouse and a distribution point for that one individual.

Under the urgency of the six big bosses, the scheduled timetable was met, and various trucks delivered their materials to a warehouse and secured them properly.

Afterwards, President Huang and the other five watched the warehouse doors close before they headed to the office to enjoy the air conditioning, drink tea, and compliment each other.

With the bond of being Registered Disciples of the Bone Burying Ground,

the six of them formed a brotherhood, though not of the same mother.

They planned to join forces and stride down that broad and flourishing road together!

The first step was resource exchange, and after some discussion and contemplation, they uncovered a big secret.

From their explorations to the outside world and combining life experiences, they judged that even the wealthy who were just one tier above them did not qualify to access the true Transcendent circle!

They suspected that the Transcendent circle was even more high-level and exclusive, likely only accessible to true magnates!

This made them inexplicably excited, feeling a sense of superiority as if they were standing on a higher peak, looking down at the fools below.

It made them cherish the opportunity before them even more; the reason their business in Nepal went so smoothly was related to their substantial investment.

Finally, as the clock struck seven in the evening,

President Huang and the other five simultaneously set down their tea cups, tightened their grips on their ever-present travel bags, and smiled:

“He’s here!”
