Hua Lei Dan was not an obscure pill, but rather Xue Laoban had not received any demand for it before.
The efficacy of this pill was to resolve the power of heavenly tribulations, and it was mostly used by cultivators to stabilize their realms after breaking through.
Lightning-attribute cultivators were an exception; for most cultivators, if the power of heavenly tribulations lingered in their bodies for a long time, it would leave hidden injuries.
"Are the medicinal ingredients enough?"
"They're enough, but I don't have any Hua Lei Dan in stock from before. I'll need some time to adapt to the refining methods for this pill, otherwise the quality will be quite poor."
Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then took Xue Qianwei's hand and said, "Come with me."
Whoosh—
The two appeared in the deepest part of the medicinal garden. The ginseng spirit had been quite helpful. He Guangxin's skin had almost completely healed, but the power of heavenly tribulations in his body was still continuously damaging it.
The ginseng spirit weakly said, "I've done my best, but I can't get rid of the lightning inside him."
Xue Qianwei's pupils constricted, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying, "This is too brutal. It seems like every single cell of his has the power of heavenly tribulations..."
"Do you think Hua Lei Dan can resolve the power of heavenly tribulations within him?"
Xue Qianwei pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps... only top-grade quality ones would work."
"Can you refine it?"
"Yes, but it will be rather slow. It might take me a year or so. Of course, it would be a bit easier if I break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"It's fine, with this ginseng spirit here, he won't die."
Ginseng spirit: "???"
"Then I'll go into seclusion now..."
"Go for it!"
...
He Guangxin had regained consciousness, but he was currently being stimulated by the power of heavenly tribulations all over his body, and his body was constantly enduring immense pain.
This pain was so severe that he couldn't even calm his mind to cultivate.
He exuded a heavy aura, which was related to the sword heart he had cultivated.
He couldn't stop killing; if he stopped, his sword intent would dissipate.
"Immortal Brother... have I gone mad..."
He Guangxin's eyes were a little red. After returning to Blue Star from that world, he felt like he didn't belong in this world.
He had killed many people, some were enemies, but some were not.
Just like when he finally triggered the heavenly tribulation, there were many innocent people present who were struck by his tribulation and died.
Although Blue Star was stepping into the era of immortal cultivation, only those who returned from that world truly understood how good Blue Star was.
Killing people here was illegal, and here, human life was the most important.
And he had become a demon who killed people...
Chu Yang sat beside him and said, "What is going mad? A cultivator's life is always full of challenges."
"If you look at it from Blue Star's perspective, perhaps your actions are a bit frightening, but in Cultivation World 421, do you think those high-and-mighty individuals are any better than you?"
He Guangxin was stunned and fell into thought.
Chu Yang continued, "Tempering yourself in a brutal world for twenty years is probably equivalent to the time you've spent in your Blue Star world. Ordinary people might have already been assimilated by that world, but you can still feel ashamed and reflect on yourself, which is extremely rare."
"Think about it, in that world, are the people called demon lords, and your perceived evil, even comparable to a finger of theirs?"
Having lived in that world for so long, He Guangxin had indeed seen some great demon lords, the kind that made his heart tremble just hearing about them.
Some people would slaughter towns of hundreds of thousands of people to refine magical artifacts.
Some people specialized in capturing female disciples from various sects to be their cauldrons, and some even used human flesh for alchemy.
Chu Yang patted He Guangxin's shoulder and said, "I can sense that your sword dao is the Sword of Slaughter. This slaughter is not directed at normal people, but at the hypocritical, the unjust, and the wicked. To stop injustice with slaughter, this is the correct use of the Sword of Slaughter, don't you think?"
"Hiss—"
He Guangxin felt enlightened, as if he had been forcefully elevated!
"I understand, thank you, Immortal Brother!"
Chu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. This kid had been doubting his own dao heart recently, which was very dangerous for sword cultivators who tended to get stuck in their ways; a slight misstep could lead to qi deviation.
He Guangxin was a good seed. To go from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul in twenty years was already a formidable talent!
This was a small surprise for Chu Yang, as he hadn't expected such an outstanding individual to emerge from the three hundred people sent to temper themselves.
To guide his dao heart back onto the right path, Chu Yang had spent the entire night concocting this batch of "mentor's quotes"!
"Don't be so restrained. Come and chat with your Immortal Brother about your experiences over the past twenty years. Speak your mind freely!"
He Guangxin's expression immediately turned ashamed. "I'm sorry, Immortal Brother. I didn't listen to you; I developed feelings for my master in that world..."
"There's no need to apologize. The most important thing is that you're back alive! I only suggested that you do that; I didn't forcibly command you not to have any emotional interactions with people from that world!"
So, He Guangxin recounted his twenty years of experience to Chu Yang.
"When I first entered, my master took me to the Five Elements Immortal Sect, which was a very powerful sect. The Sect Master's strength was at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage..."
...
Chu Yang was greatly shocked after listening to He Guangxin's twenty years of experiences.
This child truly had the aura of a protagonist!
He had engaged in sixteen years of killing and contention with the three major powers, and even encountered benefactors who helped him avoid a lot of danger.
However, it was a pity that while hatred became his driving force, it also confined him to a small place like Dongmo Prefecture.
With his talent, he should have gone to the Central Prefecture to compete with those geniuses and vie for various secret realm opportunities.
After their conversation, He Guangxin suddenly said, "Immortal Brother, can I return to Cultivation World 421 next time?"
"What's wrong? Do you have any unfinished business?"
He Guangxin said awkwardly, "There are still some people who should be killed that I haven't killed, and also... I've been freeloading off Mo Wuji for over a decade, and I feel a little bit guilty..."
"Don't worry, focus on recovering from your injuries first. Have a talk with your family and Commander Wang. They all miss you dearly. Sending you to that world was just a matter of clapping our hands..."
