You Won't Believe It: This Peerless Immortal Pill New Book, Please Collect

Under Qingyun Daoist's pressure, Lu Changsheng could only end the matter by saying that he had eaten the Immortal Pill himself.

Though deeply regretful, Qingyun Daoist did not feel too upset when he learned that Lu Changsheng himself had consumed the Immortal Pill. He left the main peak with a beaming smile.

However, within Great Luo Palace, when Qingyun Daoist arrived, his face glowing with pride, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Senior Brother, did you see the Immortal Pill?"

"Senior Brother, did you smell the Immortal Pill? Why do I smell a fragrance on you?"

"Senior Brother, hurry and tell us—what did the Immortal Pill look like?"

The Great Luo higher-ups were more agitated than the last. Having lived for several thousand years, how could they not know why Qingyun Daoist had dragged Lu Changsheng away?

"You people, honestly, I really don't know what to say about you."

"Insisting that Changsheng take out the Immortal Pill in front of outsiders—how could such a pill be brought out so casually?"

"It would have been fine for us insiders to see it, but how could outsiders be allowed to look at it whenever they pleased?"

Qingyun Daoist scolded his fellow senior and junior brothers irritably.

"The Sect Leader's reprimand is justified."

"Sect Leader, you're right. Hurry and tell us what the Immortal Pill looked like."

"Yes, yes, tell us quickly. My heart is itching terribly."

They still cared most about what the Immortal Pill looked like. After all, they had never seen one in all their lives.

Qingyun Daoist immediately gave a light cough.

Then he said, "I can tell you, but you must keep it secret, understood?"

He was extremely serious, making them even more curious.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Sect Leader. Don't you know what kind of person I, Liu Qing, am? Saying I can keep my mouth shut is practically an insult to me."

Liu Qingfeng's father, Liu Qing, said even more solemnly.

"Yes, yes, we will absolutely keep our mouths shut."

"If anyone asks, we definitely won't talk nonsense."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qingyun Daoist no longer kept them in suspense.

"This Immortal Pill was about the size of a longan, crystal-clear and translucent, giving off an exotic fragrance. But what made it extraordinary was that it possessed nine exquisite apertures, with a faint layer of golden patterns upon its surface. And if one listened closely, one could hear ancient chanting scripture from within—it was truly an auspicious omen."

"Most terrifying of all, when the Immortal Pill appeared, the Five Direction Divine Beasts circled around it, while dragons and phoenixes cried out together. Ah! I don't even know how to describe it. To have been fortunate enough to see a Peerless Immortal Pill in this life, I could die without regrets."

Qingyun Daoist truly deserved to be the Sect Leader. When it came to fabricating lies, he was utterly convincing—dozens of times better than Liu Qingfeng's low-grade rumor-mongering.

His description was so vivid that everyone's imaginations ran wild, automatically filling in the image of the Peerless Immortal Pill.

"Gasp, I have to go see it."

The Pill Hall Hall Master rose to leave, but Qingyun Daoist stopped him.

"There's no need to look. At Senior Brother's insistent request, Changsheng has already swallowed the Immortal Pill. You won't be able to see it."

Qingyun Daoist felt somewhat guilty as well, because he had never seen the Immortal Pill. But if he said he had not seen it, they certainly would not believe him, so he had begun making things up.

"He already swallowed it?"

"Senior Brother, that was a little unethical of you."

"Regret! Regret! A Peerless Immortal Pill slipped past me just like that. I truly regret it!"

Everyone was miserable beyond measure, especially the Hall Master of Great Luo's Pill Hall, who looked as though he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Truly foolish."

Qingyun Daoist immediately rebuked them, then said, "A Peerless Immortal Pill must naturally be consumed at once. If it is left sitting too long and becomes tainted by the dust of the mortal world, then it will no longer be a Peerless Immortal Pill."

At these words, everyone suddenly came to a realization. Though still distressed, they could accept it.

"Besides, Changsheng is a disciple of our Great Luo Holy Land. The road ahead is long—are you afraid Changsheng won't refine another Peerless Immortal Pill someday? How shortsighted."

Qingyun Daoist wore an expression as though all was within his grasp, making everyone feel deeply ashamed.

"Alright, let us continue discussing Changsheng's investiture as Holy Son after his return."

Qingyun Daoist spoke, shifting the topic elsewhere.

Everyone immediately began discussing it.

"I think Great Luo Limitless Creation Holy Son does not quite suit Changsheng's title. It should be changed to Great Luo Hunyuan Supreme Limitless Holy Son—that sounds much better."

"That is too vulgar. It should be Great Luo Hunyuan Supreme Limitless Cosmos Heavens Holy Son. Now that is imposing."

"Great Luo Holy Land has not established a Holy Son for many years. Since we are doing so, we must choose a better title. What you all suggested is still somewhat vulgar. He should be called Great Luo Heavenly Dao Chaos Limitless Supreme Most Holy Most True Holy Son."

"No, no, no."

Inside the great hall, the crowd launched into an intense discussion.

And so, deep into the night.

Great Luo Qingyun Pavilion.

This was where the Great Luo Holy Land housed visiting guests.

The residence of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land.

"I saw that Peerless Immortal Pill with my own eyes. You have no idea—it was as though the pill had developed intelligence. It could speak human language and possessed spiritual awareness. Divine beasts from all ten directions circled around it, and it bore rune imprints from the Great Dao scriptures. Never mind eating it; merely taking a whiff could let a Golden Core cultivator break straight into the Nascent Soul Realm."

Liu Qing spoke with absolute certainty, his expression as solemn as could be.

He frightened the group of Myriad Beginnings Holy Land elders into staring wide-eyed in stunned silence.

After quite a while, Liu Qing rose to leave, putting on an extremely mysterious air as he said, "Remember, don't spread this around. I've only told you lot about it. If word gets out, I'll be finished! Keep it under wraps—keep it under wraps!"

With that, Liu Qing left.

Immediately afterward, a "secret" began to spread.

"A heaven-shaking secret, a heaven-shaking secret! That immortal pill is called the Hunyuan Limitless Immortal Pill. As long as you swallow it, anyone below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm can break through three realms on the spot, and it can even forge an innate body. It is a supreme treasure."

"Heavens! You have no idea—the immortal pill reflected a shadow. Do you know what kind of shadow it was? Ascension in Broad Daylight! If you swallow that pill, you can ascend directly."

"You might not believe this when I tell you, but the immortal pill Lu Changsheng refined can make someone attain enlightenment just by taking a sniff, then ascend in broad daylight."

"What? You don't believe it? That's because you're a frog at the bottom of a well!"

"You're as shortsighted as a rat!"

"You still won't accept it? Heh, I think you're just jealous."

The next day.

Great Luo Main Peak.

Lu Changsheng looked at Liu Qingfeng and could not help furrowing his brow.

"You mean this pill has an extremely powerful healing effect, but it makes people instinctively speak the truth from their hearts?"

"Yes, Senior Brother. I only ate the tiniest bit, and I felt as though I'd attained enlightenment. It was as if no matter how difficult a problem was before me, it was no longer worth mentioning. But it really does make you instinctively speak the truth from your heart."

Liu Qingfeng spoke with a firm expression.

"Enlightenment Truth Pill?"

Lu Changsheng immediately came up with a name for the pill. Then he took out the Jade Scroll and began recording its effects.

Not bad. Though speaking the truth was not exactly a good thing, at the very least it could genuinely help people attain enlightenment.

Very good.

Extremely good.

Another new pill.

Though its appearance was somewhat strange, it at least had some use.

However, Lu Changsheng had no plans to refine pills for the time being.

Zhao Yang's matter had not yet been fully discovered. If he kept refining pills, people would definitely grow suspicious sooner or later.

So he would set pill refining aside for now and have the other disciples refine them according to the pill formula.

He would soon be going down the mountain.

Lu Changsheng planned to learn a few Daoist arts for self-protection.
