Chapter 455: After the revision: Chapter 454 Kunlun Pavilion is on fire
Soon, the somewhat wealthy Master Fushui stepped into the cave dwelling.
"Jin Fushui, greets Master Dan Jun."
Master Fushui seemed completely undisturbed by being left waiting for over an hour. Bowing his hands, he said in a deep voice, "Master, you must have heard about my master’s son’s critical injuries. I implore you, as fellow disciples of the Qingxu Sect, to lend a hand and save him."
"Of course."
Master Dan Jun smiled and said, "You only need to meet three of my conditions."
Master Fushui had anticipated this and simply whispered, "What conditions?"
"The first is naturally the Fire of Heaven and Earth, the Thousand-Year Ice Heart Fire.
The second is two cultivation slots in the True Inheritance Cave.
The third..."
At this point, he glanced at Master Fushui and said, "The Map of the Land and Mountains."
"Impossible!"
Master Fushui’s expression changed, and with a sullen face, he said, "For the Thousand-Year Ice Heart Fire, we can gather Spirit Stones ourselves to help you bid for it. As for the cultivation slots in the True Inheritance Cave, the Foreign Affairs Hall only has two slots every ten years, and they are always decided by True Monarch Lingjiu. I have no say in it.
At most, I can only secure one.
As for the Map of the Land and Mountains... Master Dan Jun, don’t you think you are being a bit too greedy?"
"Greedy?
I just have these three conditions. Agree to them and I’ll act.
If not, then let Xuu Jin wait for death."
With that, Master Dan Jun called out in a low voice, "Jing Chen, see the guest out."
Master Fushui’s expression turned extremely grim in an instant.
"Elder Jin, please."
"However, I must remind Elder Jin that if the Rotting God Poison Fire Miasma is not removed, the longer it drags on, the more severe Xuu Jin’s injuries will become. How much longer can Senior Brother Xuu hold on now? Ten days or five? Elder Jin should seriously consider this."
Wang Jingchen said in a lowered voice while extending his hand.
Master Fushui’s eyes grew cold, seething with resentment.
*If not for the lack of time, would he be at the mercy of Master Dan Jun? Even being threatened by a mere Enlightenment Realm cultivator?*
With his vast connections, he could have naturally found someone else to save Xuu Jin.
However, Xuu Jin’s injuries truly couldn’t last much longer, and others were beyond reach....
...
In Blood Peak City, the opening of the Qingxu Summit was considered a grand event for cultivators within thousands of miles around.
Countless Immortal Cultivation Clans, Loose Cultivators, and Immortal Technique Influences gathered here.
All kinds of Treasures of Heaven and Earth, local specialties, whether they were Spirit Pills, talismans, Spirit Wines, minerals, or Spirit Medicines... everything related to Immortal Cultivators was brought in large quantities.
The most anticipated event, naturally, was the Qingxu Auction hosted by the Qingxu Sect.
Almost every day, people would voluntarily spread word about the treasures in the auction, mystical rare artifacts with boundless applications. Just by mentioning them, a commotion would be stirred.
However, as time passed, there was a shop that caught fire throughout Blood Peak City.
This was a newly opened shop called Kunlun Pavilion.
Because it was situated between the main street and the secondary street, initially, it did not attract much attention.
Most of the cultivators coming and going were at the Qi Refinement Stage, and Enlightenment Realm cultivators were rare. The items sold inside, though varied and almost encompassing all aspects a cultivator might need, were not overly remarkable. Many found treasures that satisfied them within.
However, precisely because the items sold were quite haphazard, akin to a general store, it initially caused little stir.
Yet, as the Qingxu Summit officially began, visitors suddenly noticed that the shop had an increased selection of Spirit Pills.
Enlightenment Pills, Barrier-Breaking Pills, Clear Moisture Pills, Void Spirit Pills, Vitality Creation Pills... these Spirit Pills with diverse and boundless effects were meticulously displayed inside the shop.
They had both Second-grade Spiritual Pills and Third-Grade Spiritual Pills.
Moreover, to the amazement of countless cultivators, they found these Spirit Pills to be of remarkably high quality, almost unbelievably so.
The lowest were Second-grade High-tier Spirit Pills, and many nearly broke the Second-grade limit, reaching the level of Second-grade Super Tier.
Additionally, the quality of the Third-Grade Spiritual Pills was also not low; besides a few being Third-Grade Initial Tier Spirit Pills, most were Third-Grade Middle-Tier, and some were even Third-Grade High-tier Spirit Pills.
Each pill was of infinite value, each one a masterpiece.
And yet, they appeared so brazenly in a small shop?
Especially the Barrier-Breaking Pills and Enlightenment Pills... these were Spirit Pills that could allow Immortal Cultivators to break through realms. In any small auction, they could be the highlight.
To know that even at this Qingxu Auction, very few of these Spirit Pills were offered, let alone of such high quality. Naturally, they significantly increased cultivators’ chances of breaking through realms.
Therefore, it was only natural.
Kunlun Pavilion became a sensation.
Countless cultivators came to see it, and many Immortal Cultivation Clans and Loose Cultivators spent vast fortunes, nearly exhausting all their resources, just to purchase the Spirit Pills inside.
Many cultivators, even if they couldn’t afford to buy, couldn’t help but come and admire.
Because they knew clearly that a shop able to present so many Second-grade and Third-Grade Spiritual Pills was anything but simple.
It was highly likely that a Third-Grade or higher Alchemist stood behind it.
Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble, but just as many started probing into the background and news regarding Kunlun Pavilion.
...
"Kunlun Pavilion?"
Master Fushui looked at his disciple, Xu Ming, with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Kunlun Pavilion."
Xu Ming nodded and said calmly, "This Kunlun Pavilion is a newly opened shop that initially had no reputation, but it made a remarkable impression with the start of the Qingxu Summit.
It is precisely because of the many spirit pills that appeared in their shop.
Barrier-Breaking Pill, Enlightenment Pill, Moistening Void Pill, Void Spirit Pill, and Vitality Creation Pill...
Each one is a premium product, and each one is of an extremely high grade.
Therefore, I suspect that behind this Kunlun Pavilion is an alchemist, a Third-Grade Alchemist, perhaps even a Third-Grade High-tier Alchemist."
"Are you sure?"
Master Fushui felt a tremor in his heart and hurriedly asked.
Recently, he had been troubled by matters concerning his master’s son, so much so that he had set aside even important events like the Qingxu Summit, focusing all his efforts on seeking various healing spirit pills and looking for Third-Grade or higher alchemists to help refine spirit pills capable of dispelling the Rotting God Poison Fire Miasma.
However, this poisonous miasma was too troublesome. The two Initial-Stage Third-Grade Alchemists participating in the auction had no confidence and both declined.
He had sought help from Daoist Monarch Dan Chen of the Pill Treasure Hall within the sect, only to be told that the Daoist was in seclusion, refining pills.
As for Master Dan Jun... His demands were really too harsh, and if it weren’t absolutely necessary, Master Fushui wouldn’t have considered it.
Now, suddenly hearing news of a new Third-Grade Alchemist, especially one who might be a Middle-Tier or even High-Tier Third-Grade Alchemist, he became excited.
*And a bit apprehensive.*
"Certain."
Xu Ming nodded affirmatively, flipped his hand, and took out a jade bottle, saying, "This is a Third-Grade High-tier Spirit Pill, a Vitality Creation Pill that I intentionally purchased from Kunlun Pavilion. Not only can it prolong vitality, but it can also regenerate severed limbs.
Although it may not completely cure Senior Brother Xuu’s injuries, it should allow him to live a while longer.
Additionally, through this, I managed to gather some information about Kunlun Pavilion.
It has been confirmed that the true owner of this Kunlun Pavilion is an alchemist called Kunlun Daoist."
"Is he still in Blood Peak City now?"
Master Fushui asked impatiently.
"He is currently residing within the Blood Peak Third-Grade Spirit Meridian area."
Xu Ming quickly replied.
"Quick, come with me to meet him. If possible, we must ask him to refine the spirit pills."
Hearing this, Master Fushui was immediately excited, gave his disciple a grateful look, and without any further hesitation, rushed out of the cave abode.
...
Bai Ziyue had been very busy recently.
When the Blood Peak Summit first began, he still had time to attend the auction and stroll around Blood Peak City.
But as the numerous high-quality spirit pills from Kunlun Pavilion became known, more cultivators visited, drawn by the reputation. This was even after Bai Ziyue had deliberately ordered that only those who had purchased the spirit pills he refined could be informed of his information.
Otherwise, there would be even more cultivators flocking continuously.
Naturally, countless cultivators began to request him to refine spirit pills.
From the beginning, Bai Ziyue intended to use his alchemy skills to make a name for himself, thus attracting the attention of the Qingxu Sect, so he naturally would not refuse others’ requests for pill refinement.
To accommodate the many cultivators, Qiu Dashang volunteered to undertake the reception duties.
Bai Ziyue observed this and did not say much.
On this day,
Bai Ziyue waved his hand, and a spirit pill gourd appeared on the table. He addressed a delicate female cultivator, "Scholar Qinglian, here are the Purifying Moon Pills you requested to be refined, nine in total.
Since the pill formula was provided by you, the reward is automatically waived. All nine Purifying Moon Pills are in this gourd, please keep them safe."
"Thank you, Master Kunlun!"
Scholar Qinglian hastily bowed in gratitude.
"There’s no need for courtesy, Scholar."
Bai Ziyue waved his hand dismissively and spoke.
Scholar Qinglian quickly took her leave.
"Master, this is Senior Zhangg Jiuyi, Master Zhangg from Yellow Wind Valley, who has come to seek your alchemical expertise due to your reputation."
At this moment, Qiu Dashang approached and introduced.
"Master Zhangg."
Bai Ziyue cupped his hands in respect and spoke.
He understood quite well that during his time in Blood Peak City, heightened by his deliberate inquiries, he had gained a certain understanding of the surrounding Immortal Technique Influences and the cultivators’ powers.
He knew that Yellow Wind Valley was not weak; in its early years, it had a Golden Core Realm True Monarch. Although its power had waned due to the demise of the Golden Core, the Valley Master of Yellow Wind Valley was still a strong figure, having once defeated an Eight-star Divine Realm powerhouse from the Nine-star Daoist Palace.
And this Zhangg Jiuyi was the Valley Master’s junior brother, a Mid-stage Divine Realm Immortal Technique cultivator, not to be underestimated.
"I had long heard that a new Third-Grade Alchemy Master had appeared in Blood Peak City. It is a pleasure to finally meet you, and my trip here has not been in vain either."
Master Zhangg returned the courtesy and said.
