While faced with Perfected Qing Yun’s inquiries, Lu Changsheng could only tell him that he had already taken the pill to finish the topic.

Although it was a shame, but since it was his own student who took the pill, Perfected Qing Yun was still in a rather good mood. He left the main peak with a big smile on his face.

However, in the Zenith Palace.

When Perfected Qing Yun walked in, his glowing face immediately caught everyone’s attention.

“Senior Brother, did you manage to see the pill?”

“Senior Brother, did you smell it? I can smell its aroma on you.”

“Senior Brother, tell us! What does it look like?”

The senior leaders of the Zenith Land were extremely excited. As sophisticated as these cultivators were, they were all about a few thousand years old, they knew very clearly as to why Perfected Qing Yun had a private talk with Lu Changsheng.

“Look at yourselves. I really don’t know what to say.

“All of you forced Changsheng to take out his pill in public. Do you guys think that a Peerless Pill is something that can be shown to everyone randomly?

“We should keep this to ourselves. It’s not something that you could just show off to everyone.”

Perfected Qing Yun started to lecture his Senior and Junior Brothers.

“You’re right, Chief Leader.”

“We’ve learned our lesson, Chief Leader. But can you tell us what the pill looks like?”

“That’s right! Please tell us. My curiosity is killing me.”

They really still wanted to know what the pill looked like. After all, they had never seen a Peerless Pill in their thousand years of living.

Perfected Qing Yun cleared his throat before saying, “I can tell you, but all of you have to keep it a secret. Do you understand?”

Because Perfected Qing Yun looked very serious, this made them even more curious.

“Don’t worry, Chief Leader. You know what kind of person I am. Not a single word will fly out of my mouth,” Liu Qing, Liu Qingfeng’s father, earnestly said.

“That’s right! We’ll keep our mouths shut.”

“We won’t tell a soul.”

They all nodded in response.

Perfected Qing Yun then started to describe the pill, “The pill is the size of a lychee. It’s crystal clear and gives off a very unique aroma. It’s also covered in a layer of delicate golden patterns. If you put it beside your ear, you can hear the ancient sutra being chanted, bringing good fortune to those who listen to it.

“When Changsheng showed it to me, the five mythological creatures surrounded it. The dragon and phoenix sang together. I don’t know how to describe the scene, but seeing the pill with my own eyes made my life complete. If I die now, I will have no regrets.”

As the Chief Leader, Perfected Qing Yun was a much better liar compared to Liu Qingfeng, the latter only knew how to make up some trashy rumors.

Perfected Qing Yun’s words were extremely vivid, the image was clearly replicated in their mind.

“I need to see it with my own eyes.” The head of Pill Hall quickly sprang up from his seat, but he was then stopped by Perfected Qing Yun.

“There’s no need to do that anymore. I’ve already asked Changsheng to take the pill.”

Perfected Qing Yun didn’t see the pill. But if he actually told them the truth, they wouldn’t believe him. This was the reason why he decided to lie.

“Changsheng already took the pill?”

“Senior Brother, that’s unfair!”

“Shame! Such a shame! I missed such a chance! I’m so regretful!”

They were all having a difficult time accepting the truth, this was especially for the head of Pill Hall.

“Stupid!” Perfected Qing Yun scolded them. He then said, “Such a Peerless Pill must be taken as soon as possible. If it’s contaminated by the mundane air, it would be degraded.”

Since they knew Perfected Qing Yun was right. They had to accept the ‘truth’.

“Also, do remember that Changsheng is still my student. There will be plenty of time for all of you to see new Peerless Pills in the future. All of you can only see what’s under your noses.” Perfected Qing Yun looked rather wise and confident as he said this, it made the elders feel quite ashamed.

“Let’s go back to our previous topic; we’ll confer the title of Saint Son on Lu Changsheng when he returns.”

Perfected Qing Yun quickly recalled what they were talking about before they went to Lu Changsheng.

They started discussing.

“I think the title Zenith Heaven Limitless Creation Holy Son doesn’t suit Changsheng. Zenith Heaven Supreme Chaos Limitless Holy Son sounds much better.”

“Yours sounds vulgar! It should be Zenith Heaven Supreme Chaos Limitless Holy Son Of The Universe. There! It sounds so cool!”

“The last time when the Zenith Land had a Saint Son was many years ago. We gotta come up with a really good one. All of these titles sound a bit vulgar. It should be Zenith Heaven Heavenly Dao Supreme Sacred True Chaos Limitless Holy Son.”

“No, no, no…”

This heated discussion went on for quite a while.

Midnight.

The Hall of Qing Yun in the Zenith Land.

This was the place where all guests stayed.

A conversation was happening in the palace where the elders from the Saint Land of All Origins lived.

“I saw the Peerless Pill with my own eyes! You can never imagine what it looked like. It was covered in the true Daoist sutra, ten mythological creatures surrounded it, almost as if the peerless pill had intelligence. It could even talk! Its aroma could make a Gold Core cultivator instantly reach the Nascent Soul stage,” while looking extremely serious, Liu Qing had strong beliefs in his words.

The elders from the Saint Land of All Origins almost dropped their jaws.

After a while, Liu Qing stood up and got ready to leave. But before finally going out, he said to the elders in a mysterious tone, “Remember, just keep this to yourselves. This is only between us. If other people find out about it, I’ll be in huge trouble. Keep your mouths shut tight.”

After these words were said, Liu Qing left.

Following shortly after, a ‘secret’ started to spread.

“I heard an unbelievable secret! It’s an extremely big secret! The pill is called Chaos Limitless Peerless Pill. Anyone who is under the Tribulation Transcendence stage can instantly make three major breakthroughs by taking the pill. The pill could also help build a Connate Body. It’s the ultimate treasure!”

“Oh my! You guys really don’t know. The surface of the Peerless Pill reflected a figure that was ascending to the celestial world! The Peerless Pill will make one directly ascend to the celestial world!”

“You really won’t believe this. But the aroma of the Peerless Pill made by Lu Changsheng can bring a person to final enlightenment, it would then help the person ascend to the celestial world.”

“What? You don’t believe it? Your view is so narrow!”

“You can only see what’s under your nose!”

“You’re insisting on your views? You’re just jealous.”

The second day.

The main peak of the Zenith Land.

While staring at Liu Qingfeng, Lu Changsheng frowned.

“So you’re saying that the pill helps you achieve a sense of enlightenment but will also make the person speak instinctively say the truth?”

“That’s right, Senior Brother. I just took a tiny bit of it and felt enlightened. For a while, I was confident that I could solve all the problems in the world. However, I couldn’t help but tell the truth,” said Liu Qingfeng earnestly.

“Enlightenment True-Word Pill?” Lu Changsheng quickly came up with the pill’s new name, he then wrote down the efficacy and side-effects.

This was good. Although the truth could hurt, it could at least bring one enlightenment.

Good.

Very good.

This was another new pill made.

Although it looked strange, it at least worked pretty well.

However, Lu Changsheng was going to put a pause in making the pills himself.

What happened to Zhao Yang hadn’t been found out yet, but if Lu Changsheng kept making more pills, people would start to suspect him.

This was why he decided to send the pill recipes to other disciples.

It was soon until he would leave the sect.

Lu Changsheng planned to learn some Daoist spells in order to protect himself for the coming future.
