88.Unlock the inheritance!

Returning to the Baodan Sect. Over the course of three days, Xu Shan and Huang Zhiwen had secret talks within the sect. The content naturally revolved around how to sell and promote the Fragrant God Pill, how to build a professional sales team, and the implementation details. The most important part was about the design of the advertisements. With all kinds of cheesy and creative ideas bombarding the concept of the Dao heart, Huang Zhiwen exclaimed that they were wonderful after hearing them. Then he rushed into the alchemy room to develop an advanced version of the Fragrant God Pill.

As for the result of the bet, Xu Shan didn't ask. He believed that he already had some understanding of Huang Zhiwen's character. This person was straightforward and extremely free-spirited. Except for matters related to the Dao of Alchemy, he hardly cared about anything else. He wasn't worried that Huang Zhiwen would renege on the bet.

The Huang family of Tianxin must be extraordinary... After all, their status was there, and their background must be significant. There was no need for them to deceive a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.

From then on, Xu Shan devoted all his energy to refining the inheritance from the Immortality Seeking Platform. This bane that had caused him so much trouble, he still didn't know what it was until now. Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, he had to refine it successfully as soon as possible.

For two consecutive days, Xu Shan refined it almost day and night. The two balls of white light of the inheritance in his body had become even dimmer, and he could vaguely sense what was inside. With just one more day's effort, the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform would reveal its true appearance!

In his residence, Xu Shan sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed, closing his eyes and circulating his cultivation energy. He held three middle-grade spirit stones in each hand, and the faint light flickered unsteadily. A large amount of spiritual power flowed rapidly in his body and finally converged at the location of the inheritance, wearing away the white light.

The corners of Xu Shan's clothes fluttered without any wind... The air around him began to turn cold. A sword mark suddenly appeared on the originally smooth wall! Then two, three... The sword marks became deeper one after another.

Xu Shan was completely unaware of the situation outside. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was pounding. A sharp aura gradually rose in his chest. Under the influence of this inner qi, the circulation of his spiritual power began to slow down, and it pressed him so hard that he could hardly breathe.

It was just a step away! Xu Shan didn't dare to relax at all. With a thought, he took two more spirit stones in his hands. These were the last two, and they should be enough for him to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the inheritance.

With the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform, plus the safety guarantee for fifty years, and the ability to obtain enough spirit stones through cooperation with Huang Zhiwen. By then, he would be as free as a bird in the sky and no longer bound by anything. After being mentally tense for so many days and nights, it was time... to bid farewell to this stage.

Xu Shan urged his spiritual power with all his might, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. And in front of him, Huang Zhiwen had somehow appeared.

Huang Zhiwen looked at Xu Shan twice and then said, "Xu Shan!"

The spiritual power suddenly stopped. A sense of loss flashed through Xu Shan's heart, and he opened his eyes and said, "Master Huang."

Huang Zhiwen smiled and took out a pill. "The new Fragrant God Pill has been refined. It has a new flavor. You can test it for me."

Sigh... Testing the pill. The inheritance was just a little bit away from being obtained! Xu Shan felt regretful in his heart, but he still took the pill and threw it into his mouth. Then, under the urging of his spiritual power, a faint woody fragrance emanated from his body.

Xu Shan took a breath and praised, "This flavor is really good. The previous flower fragrance was too strong and was only suitable for female cultivators. This one is suitable for most people. Master Huang, you're amazing!"

Huang Zhiwen said proudly, "Your idea for the Fragrant God Pill is good, but I've come up with an even better one these two days."

"Oh?" Xu Shan asked curiously, looking sideways.

"I was researching a brand-new pill yesterday. After taking it, it will make people feel like they're floating in the air, as if they're in a state of bliss. After taking one pill, they'll want to take a second one. If they take it for a long time, they'll feel happy. If they don't take it for a day, they'll feel uncomfortable all over... Don't you think such a pill is better than the Fragrant God Pill?" Huang Zhiwen said, stroking his chin and imagining.

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Shan's forehead! It was addictive. This was no different from a poisonous pill! If this really came to fruition, it would be no injustice if the Baodan Sect was massacred. Moving the sect wouldn't help either! This was no longer within the scope of marketing. It was simply against human nature.

Was Huang Zhiwen so good at drawing inferences?

"Master Huang, this is absolutely not advisable!" Xu Shan said in a solemn voice. "If people can't get rid of something that's addictive, it will destroy them from the inside out! This is simply a heretical path!"

"How is it a heretical path? I've thought about it. This pill needs to use the Spirit-Beguiling Flower and the Soul-Dispersing Soil as the main ingredients. How to bring out the perfect medicinal properties and combine them together, the supplementary ingredients are the most important...."

Huang Zhiwen stood there muttering to himself and became engrossed in researching the addictive Divine Pill.

The more Xu Shan listened, the more panicked he became. It seemed that he had accidentally flipped some switch in Huang Zhiwen's heart! Was a good Dan cultivator turning into a drug lord? No, he couldn't let him keep thinking like this.

"Master, this is absolutely not feasible! People's opinions can be fearsome. Things that are addictive must never be touched, otherwise it will definitely lead to great disaster!"

Huang Zhiwen came to his senses and said unhappily, "Even if I refine this pill, its medicinal power is below the fourth rank of the Yellow Rank. So what if it's a bit addictive? Just like you said before... What was it called? Oh! This is called targeting the lower-end market!"

"Those low-level cultivators who can't control themselves and have to take it already have an unsteady Dao heart and are unlikely to achieve great things! If they really get addicted and can't get rid of it, what does it have to do with me?"

"Did I force others to take it? I didn't. It's all their own fault. It's all because of their weak willpower!"

"No, it's absolutely not okay! The low-level cultivators are in the majority, and they don't have much money. If they take this kind of pill and consume their limited cultivation resources, the reputation of the Baodan Sect will definitely be extremely bad. In the future, we might even be labeled as a Demonic Dao sect!" Xu Shan quickly reminded.

"Demonic Dao?" Huang Zhiwen raised his eyebrows as if he remembered something. "Now that you mention it... I seem to have seen somewhere that the people of the Demonic Dao have developed this kind of pill, specifically to control their subordinates. Then we really can't do it for now, to avoid misunderstandings. I have to go back and check it out."

Xu Shan heaved a sigh of relief. He gave up... It's good that he gave up. If they continued like this, he was afraid that he would be killed along with Huang Zhiwen!

Huang Zhiwen stood there thinking for a while, then looked directly at Xu Shan and said, "Let's not talk about the pill for now. The inheritance from the Immortality Seeking Platform in your body should be almost at the final stage of refinement, right?"

The heart that Xu Shan had just put down was raised again. "Master, you... you know all about it?"

Huang Zhiwen smiled faintly. "Do you think you can hide such a big thing from me? The Baodan Sect is originally a Dan cultivation sect. Although it's not large, the connections we've accumulated usually are quite extensive compared to ordinary sects."

"I've known about your matter for a long time. And recently, there have been people from other sects patrolling outside the Baodan Sect. I guess they've already set their sights on you."

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in your inheritance. If I really had the greed for it, I would have taken it already."

It seemed that he had thought too simply. The people outside had actually already traced it back to the Baodan Sect. Xu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

Huang Zhiwen nodded. "The inheritance in your body is definitely not something that your current strength can refine. It might have been smooth in the early stage, but it's this final step that's extremely difficult. I'll give you a hand! Hold your breath and concentrate!"
