Divine King of Honour

It has been two months since the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar killed the Golden Winged Killer.

And the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar has already arrived at the headquarters of Tianbao Pavilion.

Moreover, it has found Mei Ji.

To Xu Nian's surprise, Mei Ji had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

And she had gathered all the materials needed for the Heavenly King Pill.

This made Xu Nian very happy.

However, he was informed that the top-grade alchemist capable of refining the Heavenly King Pill was not in Tianbao Pavilion.

The alchemist went out to collect some rare medicinal herbs and would not return for several months.

Helpless, Xu Nian could only stay at Tianbao Pavilion and wait.

Although the Heavenly King Pill is a top-grade pill, it is the best among top-grade pills.

Even a top-grade alchemist does not have a high certainty of success in refining it.

These medicinal materials are already rare, and Xu Nian does not want to waste them.

If the refinement fails, he will need a very long time to succeed again.

Therefore, he must find a top-grade alchemist to refine it, significantly increasing the probability of success.

Besides this, there is another difficulty.

That is the eccentric temperament of this top-grade alchemist.

To ask for his help in alchemy, no amount of reward will do; he will only ask for one thing in return.

The difficulty of that matter is probably quite challenging.

Mei Ji mentioned that many people have agreed to his condition to have him refine pills, only to end up sacrificing their lives in vain.

However, Xu Nian had made up his mind; no matter what the alchemist demands, he would complete it even at the risk of his life.

Inside a pavilion at Tianbao Pavilion, Xu Nian was playing chess with Shi Guangxu.

Mei Ji hurried in from outside the room.

"Xu Nian, quick, Master Wu Hen has returned." Mei Ji said urgently to Xu Nian.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian immediately jumped off the couch.

"Let's go!" Xu Nian replied hastily.

"Okay, the master is now in Chongguang Building. I'll take you there. I'm somewhat familiar with Master Wu Hen, so I believe he will help you for my sake. But remember what I said, do not argue with the master. If he gets angry, it's all over." Mei Ji cautioned.

Xu Nian nodded.

Talented people often have quirky personalities; this is quite normal.

Thus, he followed Mei Ji to Chongguang Building.

Soon, they arrived at Chongguang Building and met Master Wu Hen.

What surprised Xu Nian was that Master Wu Hen was not the white-haired elderly person he had imagined.

Instead, he was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes.

His appearance was stern, and his expression was rigid.

Clearly, he was not easy to approach.

However, upon seeing Mei Ji, Master Wu Hen showed a faint smile.

"Miss Mei Ji, you came to see me just as I returned!" Master Wu Hen said with a smile.

"Of course. Was the master able to find his needed herbs on this trip?" Mei Ji said with a smile.

Master Wu Hen glanced at Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu without showing emotion, then smiled: "There were some gains, found a few herbs, but still missing one primary herb to refine the Tribulation Crossing Pill."

Tribulation Crossing Pill?

Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu were both puzzled.

The Tribulation Crossing Pill is extremely rare among top-grade elixirs.

Although consuming it doesn't exempt one from Tribulation Crossing, it does greatly increase the chances of successful Tribulation Crossing.

During Tribulation Crossing, many people suffer attacks from the Heavenly Tribulation, resulting in Heavenly Dao Scars.

These scars are unlike ordinary ones.

Ordinary scars can heal in a short time, while Heavenly Dao Scars take years to repair, and if severe, may never heal.

The Tribulation Crossing Pill is a remedy for such scars.

Consuming it heals the Heavenly Dao Scars, increasing the chance of successful Tribulation Crossing.

But the materials for the Tribulation Crossing Pill are so rare that it is very scarce throughout the Cultivation World.

Whenever one appears, the price is astronomical.

Of course, the refining process is extremely difficult, requiring exceptionally deep alchemy skills.

Xu Nian only then noticed that Master Wu Hen had already reached the Peak of Tribulation Crossing Stage.

To break through to the Earth Immortal realm, one must endure the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet, since his primary focus is on alchemy, he does not have great confidence in Tribulation Crossing.

Hence, the thought of refining the Tribulation Crossing Pill.

"Master Wu Hen, have you sensed the Heavenly Tribulation?" Mei Ji hurried to ask.

"Yes, it is in five months!" Master Wu Hen nodded.

For those at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, once their power reaches the threshold to break through to Earth Immortal, they will sense the Heavenly Tribulation.

This is different from the tribulations Xu Nian usually summoned during breakthroughs.

The Heavenly Tribulation at the Tribulation Crossing Stage is more like a screening process.

Taking out cultivators with insufficient cultivation, only those who endure the Heavenly Tribulation can reach the Earth Immortal realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, the Heavenly Tribulation at the Tribulation Crossing Stage contains a type of Heavenly Dao Power.

The scars left by this power are indelible.

Xu Nian was surprised to find that Master Wu Hen had already sensed the Heavenly Tribulation.

No wonder he was eager to refine the Tribulation Crossing Pill.

But this made it even more difficult to ask Master Wu Hen to refine pills.

After all, alchemy requires a lot of energy.

Faced with the Heavenly Tribulation, why would Master Wu Hen waste his energy at such a crucial moment?

"Fairy Mei Ji, I know your intention. Please return. In these five months, I will not be refining pills for others! Normally, I would do it as a favor to you, but now I must consider myself, so please understand." Master Wu Hen spoke before Mei Ji could express her intentions.

"Can't the master make an exception? My friend urgently needs the Heavenly King Pill to save someone." Mei Ji looked at Xu Nian and asked again.

"Heavenly King Pill? Although it's a top-grade pill, it's not highly difficult for me. But rules cannot be broken. I can refine it for the fairy's friend after I succeed at Tribulation Crossing in five months." Master Wu Hen shook his head.

Xu Nian frowned upon hearing this.

Mei Ji also looked helplessly at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian gave Mei Ji a grateful look, knowing she had tried her best.

However, Xu Nian was unwilling to give up just like that.

Five months?

Too long!

If the master fails during his Tribulation Crossing, where else can he go to find another alchemist?

Suddenly, his eyes brightened. Looking at Wu Hen, he said, "I've heard that Master Wu Hen has a rule that if someone completes a task that pleases the master, he will refine pills for them. I wonder if this rule still holds?"

"What are you trying to say?" Wu Hen said displeasedly.

Mei Ji grabbed Xu Nian's arm and shook her head at him.

As if saying, this would anger Wu Hen.

However, Xu Nian insisted, "I can find the last ingredient needed for the Tribulation Crossing Pill. If I succeed, would the master be willing to refine pills for me?"
