After apologizing for a while, he entered his mansion.
...
Su Que regained his composure from the minor disturbance and continued cultivating.
He was still cultivating the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
Currently, due to his high Talent Value, his cultivation speed was not slow.
Thus, he continued cultivating.
As time went by, the progress of the Circulation of the Six Void Skill gradually rose.
...
Xianming City, City Lord’s Mansion.
The city lord of Xianming City is named "Xiahou Lu".
This man, about thirty years old, stands nine feet tall, with a robust physique, and exudes a sense of oppression.
There is a scar beside his right eye, and his cheeks, lips, and chin are adorned with meticulously trimmed beard.
Seeing his two subordinates escorting the five people over, he was puzzled.
After listening to his subordinates’ explanation, he began interrogating the five people.
Upon interrogation, he immediately realized that there was a Money Tree within his city.
Eighty years ago, his cultivation reached the first layer of the Creation Realm, and his cultivation speed slowed like a snail.
He believed it was because his cultivation resources were insufficient.
He had tried spending a large sum of money to purchase a vast amount of cultivation resources.
After using all these cultivation resources on himself, he discovered that his cultivation speed indeed increased significantly.
He knew Lin Dong was skilled at refining the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
He immediately decided to control Lin Dong, purchase medicinal materials himself, and have Lin Dong refine the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
They would split the Celestial Gate Gold earned from selling the pills at a ratio of thirty to seventy.
He would keep seventy percent, and Lin Dong thirty percent.
With a large amount of Celestial Gate Gold, he could purchase ample cultivation resources to push his cultivation forward.
Having cultivated for thousands of years in the Upper Realm,
he had seen many things; he knew of hallucinatory elixirs similar to the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
The crafting process was extremely complex, but once cultivators became addicted to such elixirs, they found it hard to quit.
Some cultivators, if they didn’t consume these elixirs over a long period, would even develop a Heart Demon.
Considering this, Xiahou Lu stood up.
"Master Xia, is there anything you wish to instruct?"
Seeing Xiahou Lu stand up, the two servants at his side asked.
Xiahou Lu replied, "You need not mind me, I need to step out for a moment."
He originally wanted his subordinates to invite Lin Dong to refine pills.
But he feared Lin Dong might be unyielding, as when those five had sought him out.
Thus, he decided to go personally.
Xiahou Lu stood up and activated the Circulation Stars Technique.
Instantly, True Qi surged within him.
Layers of dazzling starlight appeared around him.
Soon after, the starlight flashed.
His entire being flew out of the hall, heading towards Lin Dong’s location.
...
Su Que was cultivating in a stone chamber when he suddenly sensed a somewhat formidable aura flying towards this direction.
This was the strongest aura he had sensed since entering the city.
’Could they be looking for Lin Dong again?’
Su Que remained still, only extending his spiritual perception while continuing to cultivate the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
...
At this moment, Lin Dong was overseeing construction.
He had invited a few cultivators proficient in Earth Skills from the city to repair his residence.
The house he had crashed into was almost completely restored.
Suddenly, his body trembled.
He felt a rather oppressive aura emanating from above him.
Soon, he saw a radiance like stars descend before him.
Xiahou Lu’s figure emerged.
Xiahou Lu was nine feet tall, while Lin Dong was seven feet tall.
Standing before Lin Dong, Xiahou Lu was like a tower.
"May I ask who you are...?"
Being a cultivator at the early stage of Merging Realm, Lin Dong instinctively feared Xiahou Lu under the suppressive influence of his cultivation.
Xiahou Lu straightforwardly said, "I am the city lord of Xianming City, Xiahou Lu."
"I have come to request you to refine the Enchanting Immortal Pill."
"Refine the Enchanting Immortal Pill again..."
Lin Dong murmured, falling into hesitation.
After thinking for a while, he said, "City Lord Xia, I’ve been stuck at the fifth layer of the Merging Realm for over a hundred years."
"I believe it’s because I’ve refined too many Enchanting Immortal Pills, accumulating too much resentment and causing harm, leading to my current predicament."
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Lu laughed heartily:
"That’s the thinking of those bald monks on Spirit Mountain!"
"Your stagnation in cultivation is due to impure power and low physical fitness."
"You focus solely on your spirit rather than your physical body, making progress difficult."
"As for your impure power, I have collected many cultivation techniques over thousands of years."
"If you obediently refine the Enchanting Immortal Pill for me, I will give you the opportunity to choose a cultivation technique."
"Moreover, I will even guide your cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was extremely tempted.
From the oppressive sensation earlier, he could determine that the person before him was a Creation Realm cultivator.
If he could get this person’s assistance, he might gain an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"Alright."
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Excellent!"
Xiahou Lu immediately explained his plan to split profits with Lin Dong at a three-seven ratio.
As a weaker party, Lin Dong could only agree even if he found it unfavorable.
From then on, Lin Dong’s alchemy furnace often burned bright.
He no longer refined Divine Power Pills, focusing solely on the Enchanting Immortal Pill.
...
Su Que occasionally sensed Lin Dong’s movements.
Nearly all his heart spirit was immersed in cultivation.
One day, Su Que was cultivating the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
Suddenly, the door to the mansion was knocked on.
Su Que used spiritual perception to sense, finding a cultivator below the Merging Realm standing outside his door with a bottle.
Su Que immediately stopped cultivating, went out, and opened the door.
This cultivator, upon seeing Su Que, immediately handed the bottle to him and said:
"Friend, this is a pill refined by our city’s Master Lin, called ’Immortal Ascension Pill’."
"It’s very helpful for cultivation."
"This one is given to you free of charge."
Saying this, he handed Su Que the porcelain bottle.
Su Que took the porcelain bottle, then closed the door.
He knew this Immortal Ascension Pill was indeed Lin Dong’s Enchanting Immortal Pill.
Given that it was offered for free, it was clear Xiahou Lu intended to promote the pill city-wide.
He had heard Xiahou Lu and Lin Dong discuss this clearly.
He knew this type of pill had a strong addiction trait.
If not consumed for a long time, even cultivators would go mad.
Su Que opened the porcelain bottle and saw inside a jade-green elixir pill.
From it arose a stimulating scent, invigorating and refreshing.
This pill was highly addictive and undoubtedly harmful to cultivators.
However, it was not a poison, so Su Que couldn’t consume it to refine into Myriad Poison True Qi.
Therefore, Su Que simply placed it into his Storage Bag.
He returned to the stone chamber to continue cultivating.
...
Unnoticed, two months passed.
Su Que was in the stone chamber, cultivating the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.

Circulation of the Six Void Skill was about to reach the breakthrough edge.
Eight-Colored True Qi, transformed into various celestial phenomena, rotated endlessly around him.
Power surged like tides within him.
Before his nose, with each inhale and exhale, crystalline mist expanded and contracted.
Like two rivers in the sky, expanding and contracting before his nose.
Cultivating Circulation of the Six Void Skill allowed him to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth.
Using the Power of Heaven and Earth as a means of attack.
Thus, enhancing the Circulation of the Six Void Skill would elevate all his techniques overall.
Suddenly, the mist before Su Que’s nose burst forth, colliding with the wall.
Eight-Colored True Qi within him surged intensely.
Power erupted within him.
’It’s a breakthrough.’
Su Que checked his Attributes.

After breaking through, Su Que decided to go out for a stroll.
After all, he had been in the stone chamber for two months.
He missed the Spirit Beast Meat and Spirit Wine at the tavern.
He cast a Mana technique, opened the stone door, exited the mansion, and walked onto the street.
On the street, among ten people, six had elated and excited expressions.
