Plotting for the Nascent Pill
Hearing Hun Miesheng's words, Li Changqing was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked:
"Eighth Grade Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pill for the Pill Lightning? Wasn't it only necessary to refine Eighth-Tier Seven-Colored Pill for the Pill Lightning at the beginning? Why has it changed now?"
Hun Miesheng said calmly, "The Pill of the Eighth-Tier Seven-Colored Pill Lightning is only a condition for you to enter the Heaven Hall of the Hall of Souls. You need to receive personal guidance from that lord and obtain the Pill of the Eighth Grade Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."
Li Changqing nodded slightly. He had thought he would be able to meet Hun Xuzi directly, but it didn't matter. For him, it didn't matter where he cultivated.
"Are there any other questions?" Hun Miesheng asked.
Li Changqing clasped his hands together and bowed slightly. "Reporting to the Hall Master, there are none left."
Hun Miesheng gave Li Changqing another token. "Since you don't have one, then go down. This Palace Master will await the moment you refine an eighth-grade nine-colored Dan Lei pill."
"This Token is unique to this Hall Master. Whoever holds this Token is as if the Hall Master were here in person. With this Token, you can freely mobilize Heavenly Venerable below the Dou Sheng in the Hall of Souls, and you can also freely use the Medicinal Materials stored in the Hall of Souls."
Li Changqing was delighted and accepted the Token with a smile, "This subordinate thanks the Hall Master for his high regard. I will diligently hone my Alchemy and meet the requirements as soon as possible."
After thanking him, Li Changqing walked out of the Great Hall.
Outside the Great Hall, Gu You and the Amethyst Winged Lion King were waiting for Li Changqing.
Upon seeing Li Changqing emerge, they all crowded around him.
Gu You said, "I believe the Hall Master has already told you that I will be in charge of you from now on. If you need anything, just let me know."
"If the Heaven Hall doesn't have it, I will arrange to get it from other Branch Hall. If it still can't be found, I will send people to search for it. Also, for your safety, if you want to go out, I must accompany you personally."
Li Changqing bowed to Gu You and said, "Then I thank you very much Second Heavenly Venerable. Please rest assured, Second Heavenly Venerable, when I become a true Ninth-Rank Alchemist, I will definitely repay you."
Gu You nodded in satisfaction, putting his hands behind his back. "Come, follow me, I'll show you around the layout of the Heaven Hall first."
Li Changqing and the Amethyst Winged Lion King followed Gu You, traversing the entire Heaven Hall.
Li Changqing focused on memorizing the place in the Heaven Hall where the Medicinal Materials were stored; other places were insignificant to Li Changqing.
After familiarizing Li Changqing with the Heaven Hall, Gu You took him to his specially arranged Residence and told him where he Residence, instructing Li Changqing to come directly to him if he needed anything.
Then Gu You left.
Upon entering his Residence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been tense since entering the Heaven Hall, relaxed and lay down on the ground.
He muttered, "That sounds nice, all about the master's safety. I think it's just blatant surveillance."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Li Changqing: "Master, are we really going to stay in this Hall of Souls forever? I have a feeling that the Hall of Souls isn't a good place, and it will be destroyed by someone else sooner or later. I hope we won't be implicated then."
Li Changqing was taken aback. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's guess was quite accurate; the Hall of Souls was indeed not a good person and would indeed be destroyed in the future.
However, he still wanted to take advantage of the Hall of Souls and the Hun Clan as much as possible, and wait until the Hun Tiandi thought the situation was settled before he would ruthlessly betray the Hun Tiandi and seize the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, so that Li Changqing could become an emperor.
Before obtaining the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, Li Changqing would most likely not leave the Hall of Souls.
After all, Li Changqing didn't have a system. The only opportunities to become an emperor on the Dou Qi Continent were the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and the inheritance left by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. There were only these two.
If the power contained within the Kun Peng Blood were used, becoming an emperor would be a piece of cake, but that would be too wasteful.
The legacy left behind by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe can only be unlocked by cultivating the Flame Mantra; this belongs to Xiao Yan.
Therefore, if Li Changqing wanted to become an emperor, the only way was to obtain the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill.
Thinking this, Li Changqing looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King:
"What are you afraid of? This is the Hall of Souls, filled with countless resources. Don't you want to use Hall of Souls resources to break through to the Dou Zun? Once my Alchemy improve significantly, I can easily refine a few Pill to make your path to Dou Zun much easier."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated.
This is Dou Zun!
A few years ago, he was just a minor Dou Huang. Breaking through to Dou Ancestor was a luxury, and breaking through to Dou Zun was something he didn't even dare to dream of.
Since following Li Changqing, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now reached the Dou Ancestor.
Now that there is hope of breaking through to the Dou Zun, he naturally does not want to give up.
After much deliberation, the Amethyst Winged Lion King gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll do whatever your master tells me to do!"
Li Changqing nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. I told you before that as long as you follow me, it will be the greatest opportunity of your life."
After calming the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Li Changqing sat down cross-legged and pondered his next steps.
The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill is definitely something to be fought over, but to snatch Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill from the Hun Clan's powerful members without wasting the Kun Peng Blood power, one's cultivation level would need to be at least Eight-Star Dou Sheng.
If one didn't even have the cultivation of Eight-Star Dou Sheng at that time, and forcibly used the power of Kun Peng Blood to seize the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, it would have been better to directly use the power of Kun Peng Blood to break through to Dou Di.
Li Changqing pondered in his mind.
"Judging by the time, the Three-Year Agreement has ended, and it's been over a year since I left the Jiama Empire. Xiao Yan should be around nineteen years old now."
"In the original novel, when Xiao Yan was thirty-six years old, the Hun Tiandi collected the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade, opened the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion beneath Jia Nan Academy, and obtained the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill. In other words, it will be about seventeen years before the Hun Tiandi obtains the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill."
Within seventeen years, with the Kunpeng Method, countless Pills, and some fortuitous encounters from the original story, it should be no problem for him to cultivate from Second-Turn Dou Zun to Eight-Star Dou Sheng.
But this will create new problems.
For example, because of Li Changqing's intervention, Xiao Yan's cultivation level is now higher than at the same time in the original novel, and Yao Chen and the Xiao Family have not been harmed. Whether the plot will be the same as the original novel is uncertain.
However, Li Changqing felt there shouldn't be any major problems.
As the saying goes, minor trends can be changed, but major trends cannot.
Li Changqing's influence on Xiao Yan is currently limited to the early stages when his cultivation was weaker.
The Hun Tiandi had been planning to seize the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade and open the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion for a thousand years, so it shouldn't be disrupted by Li Changqing's appearance.
In addition, there is another point to note.
Li Changqing had concealed his cultivation level. When the Hun Tiandi opened the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, he had to cultivate to at least the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng.
Such a rapid improvement in cultivation level is likely to arouse suspicion.
Moreover, he had to find the right balance. If he improved too quickly, it would arouse the suspicion and vigilance of the Hun Clan; if he improved too slowly, it would not fit Li Changqing's genius persona.
