Although they knew that with this Fire Pill, Laojun would become much stronger and pull further ahead of them, they were still willing to do this, because they had no choice now. They shared a common enemy and could not allow internal conflict to arise.
Moreover, an increase in Laojun's strength was also a good thing for them at present. If Laojun became stronger, dealing with Uchiha Shin would be much easier.
After searching around the Open Platform for a while longer, the group finally left.
On the way back, Taishang Laojun kept admiring the Fire Pill while also trying to use it to strengthen himself.
However, just as they were about to reach Kunlun Mountain, Laojun stopped, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Laojun, what is it?" Tathagata Buddha, beside him, asked.
Taishang Laojun frowned and said, "I just tried to make the Fire Pill resonate with me so it could enhance the power of my flames, but I found that I couldn't do it."
He had been trying all along the way, yet he had found no method at all.
Tathagata Buddha could not help but be stunned upon hearing this. Taishang Laojun was already extremely powerful. Ordinarily, whenever he acquired a powerful treasure, he could adapt to it quickly. Even if he could not adapt in a short time, one or two hours should at least have been enough.
They had flown slowly toward Kunlun Mountain. In any case, there was nothing important to do recently, and this had been specifically so Taishang Laojun could get a feel for the Fire Pill.
Yet one or two hours had already passed, and Laojun had made no progress whatsoever. That was rather strange.
"After all, this is a Fire Pill. Perhaps you should wait a little longer," Yuanshi said.
