“However… I already have a Heavenly One Thought Pill. Therefore, there isn’t a need to actually concoct it. I can just put on a little show! That should do!” His expression was the same as ever as he waved his right hand. Instantly, the medicinal plants all trembled as he began to graft them together.
There were over 10,000 of them, and as they were grafted together, the aura of plants and vegetation rose up into the sky. Time passed, and more and more types of plants and vegetations appeared around Meng Hao. In the end, there were 1,000,000 medicinal plants swirling around him. They were packed tightly together, filling the sky, with Meng Hao at the center, completely surrounded.
These were valuable medicinal plants, and Meng Hao would naturally not just waste them. Although he didn’t intend to actually concoct a new Heavenly One Thought Pill, he did plan to further refine the one that was already in his left eye, to ensure that it was truly branded as his own.
Days passed. There seemed to be an endless amount of medicinal plants swirling around Meng Hao. Rumbling sounds filled the air as the plants then shattered, creating a sea of plants and vegetation. It shot toward Meng Hao, encircling him, wrapping him inside and preventing anyone in the outside world from seeing what was happening. It was at that point that the starstone emerged from Meng Hao’s eye and floated in front of him, radiating scintillating starlight as it absorbed the sap from the medicinal plants.
Then he performed a double-handed incantation gesture, causing the Divine Flame inside of him to explode out as he began a second refining of the pill!
The Divine Flame caused the sap to boil. He performed another incantation gesture, further refining the sap until it turned into numerous magical symbols. Using the techniques of mutual augmentation and suppression, he caused the magical symbols to fuse into the starstone. The starstone gradually began to turn black, and then emanate powerful ripples which only continued to grow stronger and stronger.
The ripples rapidly spread out into the Dao of Alchemy Division, shocking all of the alchemists.
They watched as the sap rapidly vanished. Brilliant light filled the air, shining out from the starstone that Meng Hao held in his palm. Colors flashed in the sky, as if the Heavens themselves were changing. Countless motes of starlight appeared up above, which were apparently reflections caused by the starstone.
“This is the Heavenly One Thought Pill!” shouted Meng Hao. His voice echoed out in all directions, causing widespread shock. Everyone was staring at the starstone.
“That’s… the Heavenly One Thought Pill?”
Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to tell that Meng Hao was putting on a show and pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes, but Fang Yanxu and Fang Shoudao, as well as Fang Danyun, could all tell just by looking.
“Ah, so the Heavenly One Thought Pill cannot be concocted by someone who hasn’t cultivated the One Thought Stellar Transformation!” A tremor ran through Fang Yanxu as he suddenly understood everything.
“So that’s how it is….” murmured Fang Danyun absentmindedly.
Fang Shoudao stared with wide eyes. “The little hoodlum cheated! He’s cheating!!”
Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, however, the Dao bell suddenly appeared in midair over the ancestral mansion. It’s booming toll rang out in three sets of nine. That was… a total of 27 tolls!
Fang Shoudao didn’t approve, but… the Fang Clan’s Dao bell did! According to it, Meng Hao had concocted the pill!
In the moment that the Dao bell began to toll, a strange light began to glimmer in Meng Hao’s eyes. He knew… that it was time for the final step of his plan!
It wouldn’t be long before he could leave Planet East Victory!
