Chapter 4149: The Sage’s Dojo

The matter was settled.

Qin Meng didn’t dwell on it any longer and changed the subject.

“In ten years, the Sage’s Dojo will open. This time, the Qin family has ten spots, and you can get one. If you can glean some insights from it, it will greatly help you break through to the Half-Saint realm in the future.

In addition… the news that I am about to undergo the Eighth Heavenly Decay has also reached both families, and they will definitely take some actions, openly or secretly .

Your purpose in entering this time is twofold: first, to comprehend the opportunities within, and second, to be wary of both families, to prevent our Qin family’s prodigy from being murdered!”

Sage’s Dojo!

Hearing this, Qin Yang’s expression turned serious, and he nodded.

“This junior naturally understands what to do.

However, in the past, when the Sage’s Dojo opened, many forces sought spots. This time, I would like to ask for an extra spot. I wonder if that’s possible?”

“You want to give the spot to the Seven Profound Dao Sect?”

Qin Meng saw through Qin Yang’s thoughts at a glance.

Upon hearing this, the latter smiled calmly: “It’s not really a gift, but in the past, many forces have been willing to pay a price to obtain a spot in a Saint’s Daoist Temple, and my Qin family is no exception.

Since we can trade with other forces, then trading with the Seven Profound Daoist Sect is also acceptable.

Ancestor, there’s no need to worry too much. This is a normal transaction. Even if the Taiyi Immortal Sect does know about it, they certainly won’t care.”

“Very well, since you’ve made your decision, I won’t stop you. I’ll give you three more spots. You can choose whichever you prefer!”

Qin Meng waved his hand, no longer arguing.

Qin Yang’s words had made him think a lot.

Indeed.

The situation in the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain is delicate now, but giving the Seven

Profound Daoist Sect a favor is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as the Qin family doesn’t openly stand on the Seven Profound Daoist Sect’s side, then the Taiyi Immortal Sect has no chance of

being purged in the future. If any interaction leads to purging, then many forces will be in constant fear.

Even supreme forces care about their reputation.

Such forces are quite protective of their reputations as long as their own interests are not harmed.

Therefore,

without offending the Taiyi Immortal Sect, forming a good relationship with the Seven Profound Dao Sect is naturally not a bad thing.

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

—

The first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Shen Changqing had just finished refining a piece of immortal ore, and his physical strength had increased slightly. Just as he was about to refine the next piece of immortal ore, he sensed the movement of the communication jade talisman.

Immediately,

he scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“So fast?”

“Qin Yang is quite efficient!” The person

who sent the message was none other than Qin Yang.

Shen Changqing did not expect that the other party would handle the matter so quickly.

After learning this news, he could not sit still and went directly out of seclusion to the Tongtian Pavilion.

After all, the Half-Saint Sixth Grade Immortal Fire was of great importance, and Shen Changqing naturally could not ignore it.

For him, the sooner his natal spirit fire transformed and broke through, the faster his strength would increase.

Shen Changqing would naturally not neglect such an important matter related to his strength growth.

Not long after.

Shen Changqing entered the Tongtian Pavilion.

Qin Yang had been waiting for him for a long time.

“Sect Master Shen, I have not failed you!”

“This is a semi-saint sixth-grade immortal fire passed down through generations of my Qin family. It originally belonged to my Qin family ancestor, but later, when he learned that Sect Master Shen needed it, he reluctantly parted with it and ordered me to bring this immortal fire.”

Shen Changqing only believed half of Qin Yang’s words.

But regardless, he was satisfied that the other party had brought the immortal fire.

When Qin Yang took out the immortal fire, Shen Changqing’s gaze was immediately drawn to the dark flame.

“Good, as expected of a semi-saint sixth-grade immortal fire, truly extraordinary!”

Although the immortal fire was now heavily restricted, suppressing its power to the greatest extent, Shen Changqing could still feel the terrifying power of the immortal fire before him.

Compared to the Tongtian Ghost Fire,

the immortal fire before him was more than a hundred times stronger.

But this was normal.

The rank of the immortal fire is evident here: a sixth-grade semi-saint level. This means that even a semi-saint of the same realm could potentially perish if accidentally touched by it.

This level of immortal fire is naturally incomparable to the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

Although both are semi-saint level immortal fires, there is still a difference of several grades.

One is third grade!

The other is sixth grade!

The difference of three grades is astonishing.

Qin Yang said, “This fire is called the Netherworld Ghost Fire. Legend has it that it was born from the Yellow Springs, devouring countless souls to form its essence, and was later fortunately obtained by my Qin family ancestor.

I wonder if such an immortal fire will satisfy Sect Master Shen?”

“Netherworld Ghost Fire…not bad. I want this immortal fire. Manager Qin, why don’t you name a price!”

Shen Changqing murmured the name, then went straight to the point.

The goods were not a problem.

The only remaining issue was the price.

As long as the price was right, Shen Changqing was determined to acquire this Netherworld Ghost Fire.

However,

despite his inner eagerness, he remained outwardly calm and composed, showing no sign of anxiety or desire.

That’s how transactions work.

The more anxious one is, the easier it is to be manipulated.

Shen Changqing was well aware of this principle.

Qin Yang said in a deep voice, “The value of the Netherworld Ghost Fire is self-evident. Sect Master Shen is a distinguished guest of the Tongtian Pavilion, so I will offer you the most realistic price.

Fifty million top-grade immortal stones. If Sect Master Shen agrees, then you may take the Netherworld Ghost Fire with you!”

“…Deal!”

Shen Changqing pondered for a moment, then finally agreed.

Was fifty million immortal stones a lot?

Undoubtedly, it was.

Ordinary immortal stones would be fine, but fifty million top-grade immortal stones was undoubtedly extremely expensive.

Even an ordinary ninth-grade innate imperial weapon would only cost one-tenth of that price.

However, some things aren’t calculated that way.

A ninth-grade innate imperial weapon may seem more powerful than the Netherworld Ghost Fire, but the latter’s value far surpasses the former.

It’s a simple principle.

A complete Netherworld Ghost Fire is worth fifty million immortal stones.

And even a single wisp of its essence can sell for at least five hundred thousand immortal stones.

While replenishing lost essence is troublesome, it can eventually be restored with careful nurturing.

In other words, theoretically, given enough time, this Netherworld Ghost Fire can differentiate a large amount of essence, and its subsequent value will naturally far exceed fifty million immortal stones.

Moreover,

compared to a semi-saint immortal fire, an innate imperial weapon is far rarer.

From any perspective, fifty million immortal stones, though expensive, is worthwhile in Shen Changqing’s eyes.

Seeing Shen Changqing agree immediately without any intention of haggling, Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, almost doubting whether he had sold it too cheaply.

But quickly, Qin Yang dismissed this thought.

As the manager of the Tongtian Pavilion, he knew the price of treasures like the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

As mentioned earlier, fifty million immortal stones wasn’t expensive, but it wasn’t cheap either; it was a normal transaction price.

The price was settled, and

the transaction was completed quickly.

Shen Changqing directly stored the Netherworld Ghost Fire into the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Although this kind of semi-saint sixth-grade immortal fire was terrifyingly powerful, it had no chance of causing trouble once it entered the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

In an instant,

the transaction was completed, and both parties were happy.

Then,

Qin Yang changed the subject and continued, “I wonder if Sect Master Shen has heard of Heavenly Saint Immortal City?”

“Heavenly Saint Immortal City?”

Shen Changqing’s expression changed slightly, then he nodded.

“The top immortal city of Fushan Prefecture, I have naturally heard of it. I’ve heard that Heavenly Saint Immortal City has three great immortal clans: the Qin family, the Gong family, and the Yang family.

Could it be that Steward Qin is from the Qin family of Heavenly Saint?”

In that instant, Shen Changqing guessed Qin Yang’s background.

The other party mentioned Tiansheng Immortal City, and the other party’s surname is Qin. Moreover, there is a Qin family in Tiansheng Immortal City. It is not difficult to guess the relationship between the two with just a little thought.

Qin Yang said, “Sect Master Shen has keen insight. Indeed, I am from the Qin family of Tiansheng.

Tiansheng Immortal City wasn’t actually founded by our three families. In ancient times, a sage named Tiansheng established a Daoist temple there and spread his teachings throughout the world.

Later, many cultivators came to listen to the Great Dao under the sage’s tutelage, and over time, it became Tiansheng Immortal City.

During the great calamity of antiquity, the sage Tiansheng perished, and many cultivators, vying for the sage’s Daoist temple, fought and fought, resulting in countless deaths.

Ultimately, a powerful figure emerged victorious, taking control of Tiansheng Immortal City and becoming its first city lord!”

“But not long after, the first city lord of Tiansheng Immortal City also perished, and Tiansheng Immortal City fell into chaos again. Later, other powerful figures emerged, becoming the second city lord, and so on.

Finally, Tiansheng Immortal City was controlled by three great immortal clans, and those three immortal clans are the Qin, Gong, and Yang families that Sect Master Shen mentioned.”

“The Heavenly Saint’s Dao Field is also managed by three families. The various forces have agreed that the Dao Field will open once every 30,000 years, with each family having ten slots to enter its Great Dao.

Although over the years, the Dao Field has been studied by numerous cultivators, and the Dao’s essence has been greatly diminished, making it less meaningful to half-saints, it remains a tremendous opportunity for ordinary cultivators.

In ten years, it will be time for the next opening of the Dao Field. I wonder if Sect Master Shen is interested?”

Qin Yang, after much preamble, finally revealed his purpose.

Meanwhile,

Shen Changqing listened to the other’s words with surprise.

A Dao Field!

To be honest, although he had heard of the Heavenly Saint Immortal City, he didn’t know it offered such an opportunity.

A Dao Field where a saint preaches naturally possesses extraordinary remaining Dao.

As Qin Yang said, even though the Dao’s essence has been greatly diminished over the years, rendering it useless to half-saints, it is still not to be underestimated by cultivators below the half-saint level.

All the thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, and he smiled calmly.

“The Sage’s Daoist Temple is a great opportunity; how could I not be interested?

However, such spots are precious. I wonder what price one must pay to obtain one?”

Qin Yang smiled and said, “Sect Leader Shen, you are too kind. My ancestor has given me three spots; I will take one, and I will bestow the remaining two upon you, Sect Leader Shen.”

This surprised Shen Changqing somewhat, as he seemed not to have expected such generosity.

However, he quickly recovered and readily accepted the favor.

“Then thank you very much, Steward Qin!”
