[Day 30: You feel that it's time to stop absorbing the energy that the Spirit has been releasing. Your strength has broken through to the eight-star Dou Ancestor.]
[Day 35: In the morning, while flying in the sky, you meet a powerful Dou Venerate. Seeing that you have a Dou Venerate by your side, the other party does not conflict with you.]
...
[Day 38: You find Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin and discover that Xiao Yi Xian has broken through to the eight-star Dou Ancestor. They are thrilled to see you and surprised to see the resurrected Venerable Tian Huo by your side. That night, you have a profound and intimate conversation with Xiao Yi Xian, and during the exchange, your pet, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, transforms into Medusa.]
...
[Day 100: While passing through the territory of the Falling Star Pavilion, you suddenly hear people around you talking about the recent appearance of the Woeful Poison Lady. After a brief listening, you learn a lot of information, such as the places where the previous generations of Woeful Poison Bodies perished. Those places are still barren and devoid of life to this day. You become curious and decided to check those areas.]
[Day 150: You investigate the third location where the Woeful Poison Body possessor fell, but you do not find the advanced version of the Poison Pill Method that you were looking for. You regret not asking Yao Chen for the map to the discovery site of the Poison Pill Method.]
[Day 160: You give up on the search.]
[Day 220: In the afternoon, after studying alchemy, you find out that Cao Ying came to visit, but was stopped at the door by Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.]
[Day 250: You wish to refine the Ice-Clear Jade Nourishing Pill, a two-colored eighth-tier pill, for Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, but unfortunately, you don't have the key ingredient, Cold Jade Twig, so you are forced to give up on it.]
[Day 378: You are officially named as one of the Pill Tower's Eight Great Elders.]
...
[Day 450: You are sent to handle affairs at the Pill Tower branch. An eighth-rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast takes a liking to your partner. With a single command, you call upon Venerable Tian Huo to attack it, and in just half an hour, the creature is killed on the spot by Yao Tian Huo's Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique. You obtain an eighth-rank Monster Core.]
[Day 671: You find the Woeful Poison Body's Burial Ground that Yao Chen had discovered before.]
[Day 800: You attend a high-level auction and meet the Valley Master of the Sound Valley, who is very happy to meet you. You have a pleasant conversation with her and auction off the medicinal material, Evil Vein Spirit Spring.]
[Day 1105: After finishing the refining of a pill, you hear that a new Bone Chilling Flame has appeared in the Fallen Spirit Ice Source. You know that the news is false, and although the flame is also a special kind of flame, it is not as good as a Heavenly Flame. You have no interest in it.]
...
[Day 1505: Your alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck, and you are currently looking through some books in the Pill Tower branch. These books are not all related to improving alchemy skills. While perusing them, you come across a Di Tier Pill Recipe, the Resurrection Pill, which can revive people who have died below the Dou God realm and directly elevate them to the peak of the nine-star Dou Saint while molding their bodies. Unfortunately, you only have the name of this pill recipe.]
...
[Day 1678: You make a breakthrough in your strength.]
[Day 1866: As you immerse yourself in the study of alchemy, Cao Ying pays you a visit for the third time this week, attempting to seduce you with her alluring words and actions. You calmly reject her advances, but she persists. After careful consideration, you agree to fulfill her desires in order to teach her a lesson and to make her understand the consequences of her actions.]
[Day 1867: Despite the intense lesson, you notice that Cao Ying is becoming increasingly clingy and obsessive with you, and you can't help but wonder if you have created a monster].

[Day 2890: With the help of twelve Sky Demon Puppets that are comparable to five-star Dou Venerates, you lead Xiao Yi Xian and other allies to launch an attack on a Hall of Souls branch. The ruthless massacre of the branch is completed within half an hour, and you successfully obtain a cluster of Soul Essence.]
[Day 3335: You attack another branch of the Hall of Souls. Although the Hall of Souls was prepared, they still couldn't withstand your attack and you obtain another cluster of Soul Essence.]
[Day 3650: You spend a day cultivating.]

[Currently available: <Stone from the Falling Thunder Mountain Range> <Di Tier Pill Recipe, "Resurrection Pill"> <Physique: Innate Woeful Poison Body>]
*Gasp*
Looking at the options in front of him, even Xiao Ming with his temperament couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A Di Tier Pill Recipe! He had never encountered such an option before.
In the face of a Di Tier Pill Recipe, the Woeful Poison Body seemed far less important. In fact, it was likely to become a hindrance to him now.
If he chose the Woeful Poison Body, his physique would change, and although he could still refine pills due to his Spirit, Heavenly Flame, and strong soul control, he could only refine seventh-tier pills or lower. It was unlikely that he would have the ability to refine eighth-tier pills or higher.
Of course, this was merely speculation, but Xiao Ming didn't want to take the risk. The allure of the Di Tier Pill Recipe was simply too great for him as an alchemist.
Xiao Ming didn't answer, and Venerable Tian Huo waited silently, thinking that Xiao Ming was considering how to find the heavenly treasure.
Xiao Ming's reaction was relatively quick. After just a moment of astonishment, he regained his composure, suppressed his thoughts, and pondered for a moment before saying to Venerable Tian Huo, "I already have an idea of how to find the heavenly treasure."
"Oh? What should we do then?" Venerable Tian Huo asked curiously, completely disregarding Xiao Ming's earlier expression and assuming he had made a discovery.
Naturally, they would follow the path of the lightning energy, as the simulator had suggested.
Xiao Ming told him about this method, but Venerable Tian Huo objected, lightly stomping the gray-white boulder beneath his feet, saying, "The stones in this Falling Thunder Mountain Range are extremely strong due to constant lightning strikes. It's not easy to dig them up, even for a Dou Ancestor."
"Don't worry about that, we still have two puppets. With them, we don't need to dig like mice." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"If that's the case, it's up to you. However, you'll have to find the path of energy yourself. Although my Soul Realm is higher than yours, as an alchemist, you are more sensitive to these things," Venerable Tian Huo said.
Since Xiao Ming had a plan, Venerable Tian Huo knew that the matter was settled and didn't try to stop him. After all, he was just under Xiao Ming's command now and could only offer suggestions at best.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he understood and didn't waste any more words. He closed his eyes and was about to release his soul power when the voice of the simulator suddenly rang out.
[Ding, please choose one of the three options.]
Sometimes, the simulator was quite impatient. After every simulation, it would remind Xiao Ming to claim his rewards, as if afraid that he might forget.
'I'll choose later,' Xiao Ming replied. Of course, he couldn't take out the pill recipe in front of Venerable Tian Huo, so he could only respond in this way.
