Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2118

“This …”

The seductive lady was rendered speechless.

She might have thought that the other party was spouting nonsense earlier, but after hearing those words, she couldn’t help but hesitate.

It was true that she lived in the southwest of the underground palace, near the underground river. She had thought that it would be a suitable place for her to cultivate, and it would be easier for her to absorb the moisture and yin energy in the water. However, from the looks of it, things weren’t as simple as she had thought.

Could it really be as the other party said, that it was because he took the Dehumidification Pill and lived in the southwest?

“You don’t believe me?” Zhang Xuan looked at the seductive lady and said, “The formation you used to conceal this underground palace is powered by the water, so it should be of yin attribute, right? Only such a formation is capable of concealing the Spiritual Perception of a Celestial God. The southwest is where the yin energy of the formation originates from, and it’s impossible for one to remain unscathed while living there all year round! ”

“I might have grown something that shouldn’t have, but what you said might not necessarily be true. Unless …” The seductive lady waved her hand to dismiss the four middle-aged men before turning to Zhang Xuan once more. “Do you have a way to remove the acne on my body? I can sell the Mayang Beast Blood to you at the price you mentioned earlier! ”

“That’s no problem at all!” Zhang Xuan replied. “Give me ten bottles of God Essence Pills!”

“God Essence Pills? Ten bottles? “The seductive lady was perplexed.

Due to the declining spiritual energy in the Firmament, God Essence Pills were extremely valuable. Ten bottles was a sum that she could easily take out in the underground black market, but it was no small sum to her.

“That’s right. If you want to resolve your problem once and for all, you’ll have to give up on some things. The God Essence Pill might seem like a medicine used to raise one’s cultivation, but as long as it’s used well, it can still produce unexpected results. Of course, if you can’t bear to part with it, just forget about it. Three thousand Divine Coins might be hard to come by, but with my means, it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to obtain it. ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Very well. If you can’t resolve my problem, I’ll know that you’re lying to me, and you won’t be leaving today!”

The seductive lady harrumphed coldly. “It’s true that Twilight City abides by the rules, but there are no rules here. No one will notice even if I kill you, and no one will be able to find you!”

Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Zhang Xuan couldn’t be bothered with the other party’s threat.

Before long, ten bottles of low-grade Divine Essence Pills were delivered to Zhang Xuan.

“I need a quiet room to refine these medicines into something that can solve the hidden problems in your body,” Zhang Xuan said.

The beautiful woman glanced at him coldly and didn’t say anything else. It didn’t take long for Zhang Xuan to be brought to a room. He pushed the door open and walked in. Then, he set up a few Spirit Formations to isolate himself from prying eyes.

Then, he took out the ten bottles of Divine Essence Pills.

Zhang Xuan took out a pill casually and infused a surge of Heaven’s Path zhenqi into it.

It might have been difficult for others to resolve the other party’s problem, but to Zhang Xuan, it was nothing at all. A surge of Heaven’s Path zhenqi was more than enough to resolve it.

As for these Divine Essence Pills, he naturally wanted them for himself.

If he wanted to break through quickly, such an item that contained pure spiritual energy was indispensable. If he didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to extort some, wouldn’t he be making a loss?

In any case, as the owner of the underground black market, she must have committed many heinous crimes. Thus, he didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty at all.

Placing the remaining pills back into his storage ring, he waited in the quiet room for fifteen minutes before activating a disguise amulet and walking out of the room with a ghastly pale face.

“Swallow this pill!”

Seeing that the beautiful woman was still guarding the door, Zhang Xuan passed the pill over.

“Ten bottles of God Essence Pills … and you only managed to forge one?” A hint of doubt surfaced in the beautiful woman’s eyes.

A bottle of God Essence Pills contained ten pills, so ten bottles meant a hundred pills …

Yet, you only managed to forge one of them … and its appearance hasn’t changed at all. Are you trying to pull a prank on me?

“I’ll know once I give it a try,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

The beautiful woman examined the pill and confirmed that it wasn’t poisonous before swallowing it. A moment later, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took a look at the rose on her neck. At the same time, she tore off her clothes and continued looking down.

Her eyes lit up, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The other party was right. The pill was indeed effective. In less than two minutes after consuming it, the herpes that had plagued her for two years had actually subsided completely. At the same time, the discomfort that she had felt previously also disappeared!

Wasn’t this pill a little too miraculous?

“You …” The beautiful woman looked at Zhang Xuan once more, but this time, there was no doubt in her eyes anymore.

Ever since the herpes appeared, she had tried countless medicinal herbs and invited many physicians to examine it, but they were all to no avail. Thus, she had no choice but to spray perfume and sew a tattoo on herself to conceal it …

Who would have thought that the other party would be able to identify the root of her problem with just a glance, and with just a single pill?

This was way too fearsome!

“Boss, your skin … seems to be even better than before!”

A black-robed middle-aged man walked over and said.

The beautiful woman was taken aback. She quickly took out a mirror and took a look at herself. With a single look, her eyes widened in shock.

Due to the herpes, her skin had become a little rough. Left with no choice, she could only apply a thick layer of foundation. Who could have thought that after consuming the pill, not only would the herpes be cleared, her skin would also become much smoother, as if she had become eight years younger in an instant!

Was this pill … really that miraculous?

Unable to take it any longer, the beautiful woman asked, “Do you still have more of this pill?”

Even though the herpes on her body had already subsided, she was not sure whether it would reappear. If it did, what would she do if she ran out of medicine?

Besides, as a woman, beauty was more important than her life.

Putting aside treating herpes, just the fact that it could make one’s skin smoother was enough to drive countless people into a frenzy.

“It took me nearly half my life to successfully forge a single pill. If you want more … I’ll need ten more bottles of God Essence Pills!” Zhang Xuan said.

The other party’s herpes was caused by the imbalance between her yin and yang. He knew that his Heaven’s Path zhenqi could help in the treatment … but her skin had become smoother, and her appearance had become younger as well. What was going on?

Could it be that after his Heaven’s Path zhenqi became the Pathos of Heaven zhenqi, not only did it enhance his fighting prowess, it had also become more effective?

Ordinary women would also become more radiant and beautiful under the nourishment of emotions. Could it be that … my Pathos of Heaven is equivalent to my Heaven’s Path zhenqi infusing emotions into a woman’s appearance?

A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan’s mind.

Feelings can make a man more powerful, more motivated to do things, and can also make a woman more beautiful, which is the so-called nourishment of feelings …

After comprehending the Pathos of Heaven, Zhang Xuan’s Heaven’s Path zhenqi had become purer. He had thought that it would still be the same as before, but who could have known that it would have other effects?

“Give me a moment,” the seductive lady said as she left the room. Not too long later, she returned with another ten bottles of God Essence Pills.

“I’ll start forging them right now,” Zhang Xuan said as he returned to his room.

It took him fifteen minutes before he returned. His face was even paler than before, and it looked like he would collapse on the spot at any moment.

The seductive lady took the pills and examined them, but she was unable to find any difference between them and ordinary God Essence Pills. Thus, she turned around and instructed Zhang Xuan.

Not too long later, a middle-aged woman walked over.

She was a middle-tier God as well, and she looked to be in her forties. However, there were already age spots all over her body, and her skin had taken on a dark gray hue.

Most likely, her actual age was already in her seventies or eighties.

After reading through the books that Streak of Gray had left behind, Zhang Xuan had gained a deeper understanding of the lifespan of the gods.

Before the decline of the spiritual energy in the Firmament, the lifespan of ordinary gods could reach up to a hundred and fifty years, but now, eighty was the limit.

As for Semi-Divinities, they were already considered old if they could live to sixty.

If they wanted to achieve a breakthrough in their lifespan, they would have to become a Celestial God.

Celestial Gods had a lifespan of around a thousand years.

As for God Kings, they had a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Conferred God Kings had a lifespan of at least a hundred thousand years.

Reaching the God Monarch realm …

The Nine God Monarchs had existed for as long as the history of the Firmament had existed. In the eyes of the people, they were immortal existences.

“Swallow this pill!”

The bewitching lady paused for a moment before replying.

Without saying anything, the middle-aged woman swallowed the pill.

A few moments later, her appearance began to change. The age spots disappeared, and her dark gray face regained its radiance. It was as if she had become several decades younger, returning to her thirties.

“This …” The middle-aged woman stared at her reflection in the mirror with a look of disbelief.

Even though there were many experts in the Firmament, there were no pills that could enhance one’s beauty. Even if there were, they could only alter one’s appearance slightly.

That medicinal pill just now was no different from resurrecting the dead.

“It’s indeed effective … Hahaha, it seems like I won’t have to open an underground black market anymore to earn a fortune!”

The seductive lady looked at Zhang Xuan excitedly. “May I know how I should address you?”

Previously, it was just a transaction, so it did not matter if she did not know his name. After all, they would soon part ways and forget about each other. However, things were different now.

“My name is Zhang Xuan,” Zhang Xuan replied with a nod.

“I am Qi Ling-er. The pill that you have forged is extremely effective in enhancing one’s beauty. Why don’t we work together to sell it? You’ll be in charge of forging it, and I’ll be in charge of selling it? We’ll split the profits fifty-fifty,” Qi Ling-er said.

“Fifty-fifty? That’s fine with me! “Zhang Xuan nodded.

Qi Ling-er would be in charge of the distribution and sales, and it would be easy for him to forge the pill as well.

At the very most, he could just have Sun Qiang take over the business. In any case, the latter was much more capable than him.

Qi Ling-er nodded. “That’s good. Help me forge ten of them. I’ll use them to make a name for myself in Twilight City over the next few days!”

As a woman, she was able to prop up the entire black market. Naturally, she had her own means and connections.

“I’ll need a sufficient number of God Essence Pills to forge them,” Zhang Xuan said.

“Alright, but you’ll have to include the God Essence Pills in the cost!” Seemingly knowing what Zhang Xuan was up to, Qi Ling-er said with a smile. “A God Essence Pill is equivalent to one Divine Coin, so the cost of ten bottles will be a hundred Divine Coins!”

“Sure!” Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
