"What is it?"
The Daoist of Many Treasures exclaimed in surprise when he saw the medicinal pellets in the bucket. "What medicinal pellets are those?"
"I know countless treasures, but have I really never seen medicinal pellets of such shape?"
The Dao Enlightenment Pellets that Jiang He had refined were too extraordinary. Their appearance, color, medicinal aroma, and pellet patterns were completely different, and Zhao Gongming had to take a bite to recognize that they were extremely precious Dao Enlightenment Pellets.
Dao Enlightenment Pellets had little effect on top Demi-Saints like them, but they were the best immortal pellets for Golden Immortals and Grand Luo to aid in their enlightenment.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the value of one Dao Enlightenment Pellet would not lose out to superior-grade immortal items to cultivators who needed it!
Zhao Gongming was utterly stunned at that very thought.
That bucket …
There would definitely be a thousand of them!
In other words, that plain-looking bucket of medicinal pellets was worth a thousand superior-grade immortal items?
A thousand superior-grade immortal items …
It would not be difficult to trade for twenty to thirty premium-grade immortal items.
And twenty to thirty premium-grade immortal items would be enough to trade for several soul treasures.
Five buckets …
Did that not make it equivalent to ten soul treasures?
It was precisely because he instantly understood the value that Zhao Gongming was so shocked that he cursed.
Zhao Gongming gulped down the remaining half of the Peppa Pig at the Daoist of Many Treasures' question and smiled. "These medicinal pellets taste so good!"
Huh!
The Daoist of Many Treasures chuckled speechlessly. "Oh you … you're still so gluttonous."
Just like how he liked to collect treasures, Zhao Gongming's hobby was eating. Every once in a while, he would travel worlds in search of delicacies.
Knowing his senior brother well, the Daoist of Many Treasures promptly said, "Take it since you think it's good."
"Well …"
Zhao Gongming was cheering inwardly, but he appeared hesitant and mused, "That's not very nice, Senior Brother. After all, Brother Jiang He gave it to you in exchange for two fragments of the God-Killing Spear … no matter what, it's Brother Jiang He's kind heart."
The Daoist of Many Treasures, on the other hand, put on airs and smiled faintly. "What treasured pellets have I not seen or eaten, Senior Brother? I even have Dao Enlightenment Pellets and Nine Transformation Golden Pellets, Senior Uncle. "
"One look and I can tell that these five buckets of pills aren't anything precious. Since they suit your taste, you can take them and eat them."
Zhao Gongming waved his hand and rolled up the five "medicine barrels". Then, he said, "Thank you for the medicine, Senior."
As he spoke, he turned around …
Whoosh!
Pushing his speed to the limit, he disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"…"
Daoist Duobao was stunned.
A hint of doubt flashed across the plump man's rather simple-minded face.
Why did he feel like he had been tricked for no reason?
"Could it be an illusion?"
"Although I've lost a precious collection today, it's all worth it if I could establish a relationship with Jiang He."
At the thought of that, Daoist Duobao lay on the throne happily and ate the immortal fruits.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had arrived outside the Southern Sky Gate.
"Eh?"
A gasp of surprise could be heard just as Jiang He appeared. It was the Golden Armor General, the Jade Emperor's virtuous incarnation.
He happened to be on duty at the Southern Sky Gate today, and promptly welcomed Jiang He with a laugh. "I've heard about your feats, Brother Jiang He. Impressive, truly impressive!"
The golden armor felt that it was a pity.
It was a pity that Jiang He did not bring him along.
If he had gone … everyone in the universe would probably be gossiping about how the Celestial Court of the Three Realms and the humans of the Three Realms were …
Wouldn't that be perfect?
"I've never killed a Demi-Saint before, so I didn't know that they were so easy to kill." Jiang He explained, "Don't worry, Brother Golden Armor. I'll definitely bring you along if I have the chance next time!"
"It's a promise!"
The golden armor's eyes twinkled, and he pulled Jiang He along for a drink.
"Not today, Brother."
Jiang He declined, saying, "We'll have plenty of chances to drink in the future. You know that Lord Swelling Sky of the Gods has his eyes on me, and even threatened to kill me."
"I've heard about that, but don't worry, Brother. He's just an average Saint of the Swelling Sky Gods, and he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the Three Realms."
"Surely I can't keep hiding in the Three Realms like a turtle, can I?"
Jiang He's gaze turned sinister as he sneered, "Ever since I, Jiang He, stepped onto the path of cultivation, only death awaits those who threaten me. That dog Lord Swelling Sky is no exception!"
"Moreover, I wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace if I don't kill him as soon as possible."
He then explained why he came.
"I'll bring you to Eldest Brother."
The air quaked just as the golden armor spoke, and a bloodied spear shaft landed in front of Jiang He.
It was another part of the God-Killing Spear.
Putting away the spear shaft, Jiang He bowed slightly in the direction of the Tushita Palace of the Thirty-Three Heavens, saying, "Thank you for the treasure, Eldest Saint."
"Go ahead. I'd like to see how you would slay a Saint."
Taishang Laojun's voice rang beside Jiang He's ears then, reminding him, "The Saints have grasped the power of time, and could reverse dimensions and pause time within a small area. If they could not resist the power, they would not be able to stop the Saints."
The Grand Mage of Xuandu could fight against the Saints with the help of the Taiji Circle, the Yellow Pagoda, and the Flags of Five Elements because the Taiji Circle had the power to cut through dimensions.
The dimensions here did not simply refer to space, but involved the power of time as well.
Remembering Lord Swelling Sky's move, Jiang He asked humbly, "When the Swelling Sky Gods attacked me before, they had reversed dimensions and pulled me back in front of them even though I had fled millions of kilometers away … could Saints be able to reverse time? If that's the case, wouldn't the Saints be able to reverse time and revive the dead? "
"How could the past be changed when it was already set in stone?"
"The Endless Sky God Clan's method is just a simple application of the power of space and time. It's just a way to shorten the distance between you two."
"He alone could not reverse time."
Ooom!
That was when a unique Dao shuddered around Jiang He's body, and in the next split second … Jiang He felt his cultivation regress, dropping to the thirteenth-tier of martial arts in no time at all.
Then, the time around him accelerated, and his fallen cultivation returned to his body.
Jiang He appeared taken aback.
"A Saint who had grasped the art of reversing time could strip you of your cultivation in an instant, returning you to the state of an infant."
"Still, you don't have to worry. Aside from me, no one else has such a move. Even the patriarchs of the Gods and Demons had only grasped a little bit of time reversal."
Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief then.
If all Saints had that ability, what was the point of fighting? They could just stick their heads out and wait to be chopped off.
Humbly seeking guidance, he asked, "Elder Saint, what should I do to kill a Saint?"
There was no reply for a while.
"Elder Saint?"
"Are you there?"
"Can you hear me?"
"…"
Damn it!
Jiang He was speechless.
Why did he disappear halfway through his sentence?
Still, Taishang Laojun's words pointed him in a direction.
"Is it possible … to create a cultivation method and use it to grasp Time Dao in a simple manner?"
Jiang He had no idea even after thinking for half a day, and so had to bid farewell to the Golden-Armored Daoist and leave.
Now that he had obtained the third fragment of the God-Killing Spear, Jiang He was ready to head to the Western Sect for the fourth.
"Still, I don't know any elites from the Western Sect …"
"Should I return to the Jie Sect … didn't Brother Many Treasures say that his friends are spread across worlds? He might be on good terms with the Western Sect. "
It was easier to do things with acquaintances.
