chapter 267

    “if the peak master believes this approach is unsuitable, i can also refine one or two more pills for testing, but i only have three types of herbs,” li su stated once more.

    understanding the peak master’s techniques and cultivation experiences was also necessary. the pills also need to be refined according to her specific condition, but the most critical aspect was not this. it was about addressing that bottleneck.

    if there were sufficient herbs, li su could assist peak master dieyun in her breakthrough by quantity. however, these herbs were rare and involved a bottleneck related to the pinnacle of virtual refinement. even within the returning origin sect, there might not be too many.

    the expression of peak master dieyun quickly returned to normal. in normal circumstances, she rarely had such startled moments. her mindset was incredibly steadfast after reaching the pinnacle of virtual refinement and encountering even stronger cultivators. it was impossible for her to be as startled as a young girl. it was just that she met li su, which had startled peak master dieyun several times.

    this time, li su’s proposed solution also exceeded her expectations, as it required the fusion of spiritual essences. she rarely let out an “ah.” she didn’t answer immediately.

    li su wasn’t in a hurry and patiently waited, shifting his gaze away from her face. while the expression of peak master dieyun appeared normal, her subconscious actions of clasping her hands together and the slight fidgeting of her right hand pinching her left hand suggested she was still in a dilemma, trying to decide which approach to take. perhaps she was torn between allowing li su to directly refine the pills – the risk of the pills not being potent enough or running out of herbs – and the other method.

    a rich, purple-gold spiritual essence emerged, infusing a touch of immortal aura into peak master dieyun’s perception of its appearance. li su had successfully established an immortal foundation, impressing dieyun more than even sect leader shangguan xue. though dieyun hadn’t personally witnessed shangguan xue’s spiritual essence, the sensation was undeniable. moreover, li su’s spiritual essence was remarkably robust, similar to someone in the middle phase of refinement despite being in the refinement phase.

    even when dieyun was in the refinement phase, her spiritual essence couldn’t match li su’s current strength, leaving her in awe of his exceptional abilities. his capability to face two refinement phase opponents simultaneously during his peak transformation battle with refinement phase cultivators and his breakthrough in the refinement phase was causing quite a stir.

    heavenly heart... how is that even possible? following that, peak master dieyun made an even more astounding discovery – li su’s spiritual essence contained a heavenly heart, and it was no weak one. this revelation sent a slight tremor through dieyun’s spiritual essence, which she had initially let her defenses down.

    a heavenly heart!

    and li su had one, right after breaking through to the refinement phase? despite her first-grade spirit root, it took her until the third refinement phase to forge her heavenly heart, which had grown gradually. yet, li su’s heavenly heart was undeniably more powerful than hers when she had just begun forging hers.

    it was almost impossible, even for an immortal spirit root. at this moment, peak master dieyun was once again shocked, and her spiritual essence felt somewhat sluggish. she couldn’t help but wonder, “could he really be a reincarnated immortal?” however, this speculation had a significant flaw – if there were a reincarnated immortal, the higher-ups of the immortal alliance should be aware of it. yet, when it came to “immortals,” unusual occurrences were relatively common, weren’t they? after all, li su’s immortal spirit root had escaped detection by many sacred artifacts from various places.

    nonetheless, peak master dieyun was sure that li su possessed an immortal spirit root. when it came to “immortals,” anything was possible. at that moment, li su’s spiritual essence transmitted a message, asking, “peak master, what’s wrong?” this transmission unsettled peak master dieyun, as her spiritual essence fluctuated.

    “it’s nothing, li su. just wait a moment,” peak master dieyun responded, striving to contain her surprise and stabilize her emotions. her spiritual essence had to be calm for li su to merge smoothly.
