Two months passed in the blink of an eye!
He Pingsheng had used almost all the Origin he had that could be refined into pills.
First, he gave Qiao Huizhu some fifth-grade [Dao-Gathering Pills] with water, space, and time attributes.
"These pills should be enough for you to break through the Spirit Transformation Stage Dao Obstacle!" He Pingsheng took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Huizhu seriously. "Senior Sister, once you reach the bottleneck, don't rush to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to break through. Try to break through naturally as much as possible!"
"That will benefit us!"
"Mm-hmm!" Qiao Huizhu nodded.
Next, He Pingsheng gave some Dao-Gathering Pills to his old servant Hao Cang as well.
"Go into seclusion. I'm going to buy some materials. If things go smoothly, I'll enter seclusion soon too!"
He Pingsheng needed to enter seclusion as well.
He had advanced too quickly lately and needed to consolidate his foundation.
His Daoist Law, in particular, needed a thorough tempering with the Dao-Refining Heavenly Stele.
"All right!"
Qiao Huizhu and Hao Cang each entered seclusion.
But before He Pingsheng could leave, the quiet courtyard welcomed its first visitor!
The visitor was a woman.
She was tall and slender, with fair skin, and her looks were naturally exceptional.
Her cultivation, however, had already reached the Void Refinement Realm.
He Pingsheng's heart jolted. His divine sense instantly connected with that defensive treasure, while he politely cupped his hands toward the woman. "Greetings, Senior... may I ask what brings you...?"
"No need for formalities!" The woman in the brown Daoist robe stepped into the courtyard, glanced around, then turned her gaze back to He Pingsheng. "My name is Nan Qiqi. I'm the Holy Maiden of the Vermilion Bird Tribe!"
"Ah?"
He Pingsheng was startled again. "It's you!"
