Chapter 3748 Demonstrating Value

All thoughts settled.

Venerable Jinque nodded: “Helping the pill overcome its tribulation is a trivial matter, but your status as an eighth-order Grandmaster of Alchemy is somewhat unexpected.”

Shen

Changqing simply smiled, then spoke again: “There’s another matter I wish to ask for your assistance, senior.”

“What is it?”

Venerable Jinque asked.

Now that he truly understood Shen Changqing’s potential, his goodwill towards the man before him had greatly increased.

Since he had already invested some resources in the early stages, Venerable Jinque naturally wouldn’t refuse the opportunity to deepen this relationship.

“The Longevity Elixir uses the Purple Mansion Void Fruit as its main ingredient, but such immortal herbs are extremely rare. The Taiyi Holy Land is one of the thirteen holy lands; I wonder if Senior might be able to find the Purple Mansion Void Fruit?

If so, I would certainly be willing to purchase it!”

“The Purple Mansion Void Fruit… I will keep an eye out for this matter for you. When there is news, I will send you a message.

Also, this is my communication jade talisman; you can use it to communicate for any other matters later.”

Venerable Jinque nodded slightly, casually taking out one of his communication jade talismans. Shen Changqing took it and then rose to take his leave.

“Alright, thank you very much, Senior. I will take my leave now!”

“Hmm—”

Venerable Jinque waved his hand, and Shen Changqing turned and left.

Afterwards…

The Golden Palace Venerable looked at the two bottles of pills on the table, his expression subtle. “An eighth-tier Grandmaster of Alchemy… a few years ago he was only a seventh-tier Grandmaster!

In such a short time, he has broken through the seventh-tier barrier and advanced to the eighth tier. This boy’s aptitude in alchemy is astonishing.

If he doesn’t die this time, I’m afraid he’ll be enough to give the Eternal Immortal Court a headache!”

Thinking of this,

the Golden Palace Venerable was in high spirits.

The Taiyi Holy Land and the Eternal Immortal Court had a long-standing feud, and as the Supreme Elder of the Holy Land, he had clashed with the Eternal Immortal Court countless times.

Now that he saw the Eternal Immortal Court suffer a setback, the Golden Palace Venerable was naturally happy.

Although the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands checked and balanced each other, maintaining a degree of restraint and not reaching the point of a complete and irreconcilable conflict

, the Golden Palace Venerable wouldn’t refuse to cause some trouble for the Eternal Immortal Court.

This was one of the reasons why he was willing to lend a helping hand to Shen Changqing in the first place.

Of course,

what the Golden Palace Venerable truly valued was Shen Changqing’s potential.

Without sufficient potential, it wouldn’t be worth his investment. He

certainly wouldn’t use something like the Void-Breaking Talisman.

Then,

Venerable Jinque flicked his sleeve, putting away the two bottles of pills, and his figure disappeared.

On the other side,

Shen Changqing had returned from the Heavenly Immortal Mansion.

This time, he offered the Longevity Profound Pill, both to have Venerable Jinque handle the matter and to further demonstrate his own value.

Ultimately,

favors are also about mutual benefit.

If he hadn’t demonstrated sufficient value, Venerable Jinque might not have been willing to fully assist him.

Therefore,

appropriately demonstrating some of his value was necessary in Shen Changqing’s view.

This time,

the other party readily agreed to his request without the slightest hesitation, showing that his goal had been achieved.

However, Shen Changqing was also clear that, in any case, it was impossible to get Venerable Jinque to deal with the Eternal Immortal Court.

Fortunately,

he had never considered it.

The problem of the Eternal Immortal Court was still something he had to solve himself.

Venerable Jinque’s role was simply to provide him with some assistance.

In Shen Changqing’s view, this was already enough.

…

Venerable Jinque acted swiftly.

Several days later,

the communication jade talisman vibrated.

Shen Changqing went to the Heavenly Rank Immortal Mansion, where the other party had brought out all the pills he had taken after his tribulation, along with three Purple Mansion Void Fruits.

According to Venerable Jinque, Purple Mansion Void Fruits were precious, even the Taiyi Sacred Land didn’t have many.

But for Shen Changqing, having three Purple Mansion Void Fruits was already quite good. It was best to have

them

, but it was normal not to.

With three now, he could refine three more batches of Longevity Profound Pills.

Even if only one batch of Longevity Profound Pills succeeded, it would still be acceptable.

Fortunately,

although Purple Mansion Void Fruits were semi-saint level immortal medicines, they could still be traded for high-grade immortal stones.

However, the price was much higher.

One Purple Mansion Void Fruit was priced at one hundred million high-grade immortal stones.

Compared to a normal top-grade immortal medicine for an Immortal Emperor, this price was at least a million times more expensive.

But there was nothing he could do.

The Purple Mansion Void Fruit is a semi-saint immortal medicine. The mere mention of “semi-saint” is enough to demonstrate its astonishing value, far exceeding that of ordinary immortal medicines.

This is because the Purple Mansion Void Fruit can be cultivated independently; if it were a rare and precious treasure, even high-grade immortal stones wouldn’t qualify for its trade.

Therefore,

in Shen Changqing’s view, exchanging three hundred million high-grade immortal stones for three Purple Mansion Void Fruits was a worthwhile investment.

Having obtained the immortal medicine ,

Shen Changqing didn’t waste any time and continued refining the Longevity Profound Pill.

Ultimately,

one of the three batches of pills was successfully refined, giving him four more Longevity Profound Pills.

This result was within his expectations.

In the following period, Shen Changqing focused on secluded cultivation while simultaneously acquiring Purple Mansion Void Fruits without ceasing.

Venerable Jinque subsequently found five more Purple Mansion Void Fruits, which Shen Changqing consumed entirely.

Originally,

he didn’t have many immortal stones, making it difficult to sustain such a large expenditure.

However, by killing Chi Zhenzi and others and obtaining their stockpile, his immortal stone problem was greatly alleviated.

In addition,

Shen Changqing would occasionally take out one or two Longevity Pills to trade with Venerable Jinque.

To be precise, he would trade with the Taiyi Sacred Land behind the Venerable.

No force would refuse such a semi-saint level pill.

Moreover,

the Longevity Pill is a universal semi-saint immortal pill; every cultivator needs to restore their immortal power at some point, and this pill can solve that problem.

…

In the Divine Heaven Domain.

The void shattered.

A terrifying aura pressed down on the heavens, its majestic power sweeping everything away, causing all living beings in the vast immortal domain to feel an instinctive fear.

In the Heavenly Forging Palace.

Bai Lianchuan looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with horror.

“Who is this aura?!”

Even a peak Immortal Emperor couldn’t muster any thought of resistance under such pressure.

This terrifying aura was far more frightening than the Xuan Turtle that had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Soldier Palace.

What was the purpose of such a powerful figure openly descending upon the Divine Heaven Domain?

“This matter must be related to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!”

Bai Lianchuan instantly became certain.

He recalled several years ago when the Xuantian Dao Sect suddenly and drastically dismissed many outer disciples, as well as some inner disciples and even true disciples.

Immediately afterward

, the Xuantian Dao Sect activated its protective formation, completely sealing its gates and isolating itself from the outside world.

Bai Lianchuan was shocked when he learned of this.

After all, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s sudden closure of its gates must have had a reason, but he couldn’t figure out much.

Now,

a mysterious powerhouse had descended upon the Divine Heaven Domain.

In that instant, Bai Lianchuan naturally connected the two events.

At the same time,

above the sky,

warships stood in rows.

Xuan Tu stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, overlooking the Immortal Realm below, observing everything there.

Before long,

the warship fleet had arrived above the Xuantian Dao Sect’s gates.

“Protective formation!”

Xuan Tu looked at the formation below, his expression indifferent. With a flick of his finger, he caused the formation, powerful enough to withstand an Immortal Emperor’s attack, to crumble.

However,

the moment the formation collapsed…

Xuan Tu’s indifferent expression flickered slightly.

The massive mountain gate below was now an empty shell, devoid of any Xuan Tian Dao Sect members.

Xuan Tu, refusing to accept this, unleashed his divine sense, meticulously searching every inch of Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s land, seemingly trying to find any hidden cultivators, but to no avail.

This result,

however, didn’t anger Xuan Tu much. After all

, with the Eternal Immortal Court making such a large-scale operation, it wasn’t surprising that they had learned of the plan beforehand and left.

“The Xuan Tian Dao Sect is certainly quick to flee, but to think they can escape after offending the Eternal Immortal Court? There’s no such thing as an easy way out!”

On the other side,

Qin Yuan also remained calm, having anticipated this as well.

In his view, even if the Xuan Tian Dao Sect withdrew first, they would never escape the control of the Eternal Immortal Court.

At this moment, Xuan Tu’s body was filled with Daoist aura, and images were reflected in his pupils. The seemingly empty mountain gate appeared to be filled with numerous cultivators again.

This scene

was commonplace for Qin Yuan.

This was a technique of a half-saint, sufficient to deduce heavenly secrets and reshape past scenes.

Qin Yuan could also perform this technique, but not to the extent that Xuan Tu could.

After all, as a fellow half-saint, Qin Yuan was well aware of the vast difference between himself and Xuan Tu.

Moreover,

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect also had half-saints.

As a first-stage half-saint, deducing the heavenly secrets of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was by no means an easy task.

But with Xuan Tu’s intervention, it was a different story.

At this moment,

within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s scene,

one could see that some high-ranking members of the sect had dismissed many cultivators and then gathered the remaining cultivators in front of a high altar platform. (End of Chapter)
