Chapter 722 - - 542 Large Spender_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

In short, Dragon Tiger Mountain simply couldn’t afford to nurture this ancestor…

Wishing to take advantage of Daoist Rhyme, yet not wanting to hand him over to Heavenly Master Xu and being unable to support him, it naturally made the most sense to send him to themselves.

The South Peak Emperor couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the scheming of Xu Jinghui and the others, not taking it to heart but instead fully concentrating on his own concerns.

He was even somewhat pleasantly surprised—he wasn’t lacking in elixirs; what he lacked was Daoist Rhyme!

In the Mortal Realm, there was scarcely anything that required him to take action and expend Immortal Spiritual Power, except during cultivation, when he would use Immortal Pills, so he had a very large surplus of Immortal Pills in his possession.

The rapid pace of Duge’s cultivation was good news for him.

Using Immortal Pills to accelerate his cultivation level, Duge would be able to observe Daoist Rhyme for longer periods; the two would enhance each other, creating his opportunity!

“Qing Sheng, stop! I have seen enough of your cultivation strength. Absorbing Spiritual Energy indeed doesn’t suit you. From now on, you will use elixirs for your cultivation!”

The South Peak Emperor, with a beaming smile, waved his hand, presenting five bottles of Immortal Pills to Duge, “These five bottles are Nine Sun Pills. Take one pill at a time; they should be enough for five years of your cultivation. After taking the Nine Sun Pills, practice cultivation here on your own. Your master will come to see you again tomorrow.”

Having said that,

he instantly left the secret chamber and returned to the Great Emperor’s Palace to attend to state affairs.

Witnessing Duge’s cultivation speed, his expectations for the future grew; one day, once he became a Golden Immortal, he would no longer have to bother with these mundane matters of the Mortal Realm.

Although he had only observed Daoist Rhyme for a short while, the South Peak Emperor already felt his understanding of cultivation deepening. He believed that in no time, even without divine objects, he could break through the constraints of a Heavenly Immortal.

…

Five years?

What a joke!

Five days would be more accurate…

Duge smiled faintly and, controlling his water Spiritual Power, took an Immortal Pill out of the bottle and put it into his mouth to begin a new round of cultivation.

Having consumed the Immortal Pills given by Elder Dao Ming, he naturally knew how quickly his Divine Body absorbed elixirs; the few bottles left by the South Peak Emperor wouldn’t be enough for even a few days.

Duge aimed for a fast improvement of his strength; hiding his abilities was out of the question…

He was originally known as Tie Tou, had previously used the title of Carefree Ancestors, and later became the Nameless Ancestor, all for the sake of maintaining uncertainty about his identity.

But now, having arrived at Suspended Mountain to become a disciple of the South Peak Emperor and being given the name Qing Sheng, his ranking at the end of the month would pinpoint his location directly to the South Peak Emperor; he couldn’t hide even if he wanted to.

Although the South Peak Emperor repeatedly insisted on protecting him, with his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, it was doubtful he would be able to do so when the time came; Duge would have to rely on himself.

However,

the South Peak Emperor provided him with so many Immortal Pills; he was a good person. Perhaps when he himself became powerful, he would have to extend a hand to help him!

…

Elder Dao Ming was at the pinnacle of Integration Dao, and the elixirs given to him by Heavenly Master Xu naturally wouldn’t be too potent.

The South Peak Emperor was a Heavenly Immortal, and the Nine Sun Pills he used for cultivation were many times more powerful than the Returning Yuan Pills and Peiyuan Pills from Elder Dao Ming.

An elixir was consumed.

The surging and powerful Spiritual Power swelled rapidly within Duge’s body and was then channeled into his meridians, flowing through his three Nascent Souls, nourishing them bit by bit.

The three Nascent Souls greedily absorbed the Spiritual Power of the Immortal Pill, strengthening themselves and converting the Spiritual Power into Divine Power to nourish Duge’s Divine Body…

The numbers representing spiritual power on Duge’s personal panel soared upward rapidly, and the moment the elixir’s power was exhausted, it climbed by more than two million.

Having consumed one Nine Sun Pill in just a quarter of an hour, Duge, without hesitation, took another pill and began a new round of transfer.

The higher the cultivation, the faster the absorption of the elixir, and at this rate, one bottle of pills would be exhausted by nightfall.

However,

Duge was still unsatisfied with this pace; when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the heavens, he ate The Very High Lord’s Immortal Pills like sugar beans.

That was the level of physical constitution he aspired to!

With his current Divine Body, transformed by three types of Divine Power, although it had many unpredictable uses, he didn’t dare to gulp down an entire bottle of pills at once.

In this world filled with powerful entities, he was still far behind!
