The Devil Palace's Spirit Pills!
In the Eight Views Imperial Carriage.
Zhou Hao was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing to restore his internal Origin Power.
Although the battle at Falling Thunder Ravine lasted only a dozen or so breaths, he successively killed four celestial beings. At the critical moment of life and death, he was propelled to a breakthrough by the Patriarch Styx's killing move, and discovered the mysterious and ethereal power of 'mental strength'...
After managing to issue orders to the 400,000-strong army of immortals, Origin Power was almost completely exhausted, and his soul felt empty.
A moment later.
He refined all the pure primordial energy contained in the swallowed elixir, and the ocean of Origin Power in his Purple Mansion overflowed once more. The Blue Flower swaying on the Earth Element Island also condensed into a crystal droplet of water once more.
"Hoo~~~" Zhou Hao exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.
"Origin Power, however, cannot be restored with elixirs. I will wait for the Second Primordial Spirit to arrive, and then my main body will enter the Red Dust Immortal Mansion to quickly absorb the power of the stars through the Chaos Star Fragment Stone Platform to restore it." He sensed the location of the Second Primordial Spirit slightly.
Knowing that the Asura God's avatar had left the Great Xia World and arrived in the Heavenly Realm, and was on its way here, it separated a wisp of its consciousness and entered the world of the Cosmos Diagram.
The weapons and magical artifacts left behind by the Hundred Desires Celestial God who was killed earlier, as well as the three other Asura Gods, are still inside.
Wow~~~
Upon arriving in the world of the Cosmos Diagram, Zhou Hao gathered the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form a slightly illusory figure. Then, several divine thoughts flew out, directly refining the weapons and storage treasures floating in the air.
"One pure Yang grade weapon, the ' Bloodflame Fork,' and three others are all pure Yang grade high-grade. There are also two sets of pure Yang grade high-grade armor, six pure Yang grade high-grade magic treasures, twelve mid-grade and ordinary-grade pure Yang magic treasures, plus various immortal-grade magic treasures and rare items..."
"Sigh, four penniless men, not even a single innate spiritual treasure," Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.
After all, innate spiritual treasures are not something that cultivators can refine at will; they are all formed by the heavens and earth.
Even if a Post-Heaven artifact can be transformed into a primordial spiritual treasure, the requirements for the spirituality of the artifact's spirit and the quality of the artifact are extremely high. Only one in ten thousand can truly succeed in the transformation.
Therefore, for normal true immortals and gods, pure Yang level weapons and magic treasures are the mainstream.
Although he was internally complaining, he was actually quite satisfied.
If the weapons and magical treasures of the four celestial beings were all exchanged for pure Yang-grade spiritual pills, it would be enough to obtain nearly two hundred pills.
This confirms the unchanging truth: the stronger you are, the higher the level of your opponents will be, and the greater your gains will be.
"That Hundred Desires Celestial God is also the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. Apart from the Bloodflame Fork, which is a pure Yang grade, his other magic treasures are not as good as the three Asura Gods under his command?" Zhou Hao rummaged through the Hundred Desires Celestial God's storage magic treasures.
Logically speaking, even if he were just a male concubine, with the best magical treasures on the White Wondrous Demoness, he shouldn't be in such a predicament.
"Huh, a Heavenly Rank magic treasure?" Zhou Hao's heart stirred, and he picked out a seemingly inconspicuous black wooden box from among various miscellaneous items.
Even celestial immortals wouldn't bother with celestial treasures, let alone a celestial god.
He directly refined the black wooden box, casually opened the lid, and immediately saw that inside the box was a miniature golden gourd, about the size of an adult's finger.
"Another storage magic treasure? And a top-grade immortal-level gourd, containing a small, enclosed space." Zhou Hao laughed.
Something unusual must be going on.
He immediately picked up the miniature golden gourd and used his divine sense to examine it carefully.
Immediately, he saw numerous spiritual pills floating inside the gourd, their sheer number and the terrifyingly pure and powerful Origin Power they possessed causing Zhou Hao to gasp in astonishment.
"Two hundred and thirty-six pure Yang grade one spirit pills, three thousand one hundred and fifty-seven pure Yang high grade spirit pills, more than sixty thousand ordinary pure Yang spirit pills, and more than three hundred thousand various immortal-grade spirit pills..." Zhou Hao was somewhat bewildered.
This is... this is terrifying!
Is it really that lucrative to be a kept man with a rich woman and become her gigolo?
"Even if White Wondrous Demoness is the daughter of Dao Ancestor Bo Xun, she shouldn't have so many elixirs," Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.
"Moreover, with so many elixirs, even if no one trades them for top-grade innate spiritual treasures, it shouldn't be difficult to exchange them for a few mid-grade spiritual treasures. Why didn't the Hundred Desires Celestial God exchange them for some spiritual treasures for himself?"
"Could it be that all the spiritual pills and resources of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace are simply stored in the Hundred Desires Celestial God?"
Believe it or not, that's actually quite possible.
For cultivators, aside from some unnecessary items, the most precious things are naturally the safest to carry with them.
This also applies to one side of the power.
With six True Immortals and Celestial Gods under the command of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, thousands of Celestial Immortals, and hundreds of thousands of Void Return level minions, maintaining the stability of such a large number of subordinates requires not only providing protection, but also essential cultivation resources and rewards when recognizing merits.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is backed by the Asura Church, so these elixirs might have been used by the Asura Church to recruit soldiers in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
Who cares?
Anyway, all these elixirs now belong to the Zhou family.
"Now, not only are there enough elixirs for the Asura God's clone to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, but the rest can also be used as rewards to win people's hearts." Zhou Hao was delighted. He put the more than 300,000 Immortal-grade elixirs into another storage magic treasure, while the remaining Pure Yang elixirs were still placed in this miniature golden gourd.
Previously, he had neither soldiers nor food, and he always lived a very frugal life.
When they were mobilizing the immortal army, they were still thinking about how to sustain the army through war and use the resources from the various forces in the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains that they had wiped out to reward the army.
After all, the emperor wasn't short of starving soldiers.
Now that they have the spiritual pill resources from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace as a foundation, they are much more confident.
"Where have we arrived?" Zhou Hao asked through the curtains of the celestial carriage.
These Eight Views Imperial Carriage were a royal regalia gifted by the Jade Emperor to the Son of Heaven, intended to demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor. They were pure Yang level celestial carriages.
Once the curtain is lowered, it is protected by eight-colored celestial light, which is difficult for even True Immortals and Gods below to penetrate. It can also block the detection of consciousness, so even powerful beings cannot get in. It is extremely mysterious and is definitely the most top-tier celestial carriage in the Three Realms.
At this moment, Taibai Venus, sitting in front of the celestial chariot, in the position of driving the dragon, heard Zhou Hao's question and hurriedly replied, "The imperial chariot has now entered the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains. Marshal Tianpeng and the other Four Saint True Lords have led their heavenly soldiers and generals, along with the Four Great Celestial Masters, to wipe out thirty-two demonic forces along the way, including Heavenly Ghost Mountain, Clifflet Cave, Thousand Winds Mausoleum, and Black Wind Cave, and have captured countless... In at most half an hour, we will be able to fight our way to the Witch Mountain Gorge Devil Palace."
"Give the order that the spoils of war need not be handed over. But anyone who takes advantage of the situation to kill indiscriminately will be executed without mercy!" Zhou Hao said calmly.
"Yes." After waiting for a moment, seeing that Zhou Hao would not speak again, Taibai Venus went to summon the attendant spirit official and gave him orders.
Just as Taibai Venus left, a figure flashed before the Eight Views Imperial Carriage, Asura God's clone, dressed in black robes, arrived.
"Half an hour is enough for the clone to cultivate to the sixth level." Zhou Hao left the miniature golden gourd containing more than 60,000 pure yang spirit pills to the clone, and then his main body went into the Red Dust Immortal Mansion to recover his divine power.
With ample elixirs to provide the energy needed for body refinement, and given that the Asura God's avatar was already very strong, cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was naturally very fast.
"Splash splash splash~~~"
One by one, the pure yang spirit pills were swallowed by Zhou Hao in his black robes, like candy beans.
His divine body also began to transform and become stronger as the profound martial arts technique was activated.
I can't hold on any longer.
The cough makes me feel uncomfortable all over; my trachea and lungs feel like they're on fire.
It feels even worse today; it's a bit inflamed, and my back joints are hurting.
I can't hold out until tomorrow.
Go to the hospital now.
This chapter is only half finished.
If I get back early, I'll finish writing the remaining half.
