Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

No one paid any more attention to Yang Jie, who was taken away.

As for his fate, even if he could keep his life, it would not be pleasant.

Within the hall, a harmonious discussion on the division of the Profound Pure Jade Bamboo commenced.

The five families, dividing six hundred stalks of Profound Pure Jade Bamboo, were naturally delighted.

The process went smoothly without any twists or turns.

Originally, with the Yang Family included, there would have been six families, each getting one hundred stalks.

Now, with only five families, the division remained even, each receiving one hundred and twenty stalks.

One hundred and twenty stalks was not much, but enough to raise the foundations of several dozen juniors of ordinary talent within each clan.

For families of their caliber, if their younger disciples could form third or fourth rank Immortal Foundations, they would become the backbone in the future.

A third-grade Immortal Foundation, ascending to the Celestial Immortal Realm would be no issue; at most, it would take a bit more time, but those disciples would all be heavily valued in the future.

If these Profound Pure Jade Bamboo could help several juniors reach third-grade Immortal Foundations, that would be great profit.

As for the value of Profound Pure Jade Bamboo, it had long been set.

They were to be traded for Immortal Jade or Immortal Crystals.

Each stalk of Profound Pure Jade Bamboo was worth three thousand first-tier Immortal Crystals.

The price was not high.

Each family would only need thirty-six thousand first-tier Immortal Crystals.

"About the Immortal Crystals or Immortal Jades for the Profound Pure Jade Bamboo transaction, I’ll trouble you all to exchange them directly for second-tier ones." When the transaction was done, Xu Yang handed the Profound Pure Jade Bamboo to the five and said.

The resources acquired from this deal all belonged to him.

Resources below the second tier were already useless to him.

"To exchange for second-tier ones? That’s not a problem."

"Mr. Xu wants them changed to second-tier? Are these Immortal Crystals for his own use?"

Ye Yize looked at Xu Yang with astonishment and suspicion.

Normally, transactions here were settled in first-tier Immortal Crystals.

Xu Yang smiled faintly. "Except for the portion to be offered to the sect, the remaining local resources are all at my disposal."

On hearing this, the five could not help but be moved, gasping in surprise.

Just what kind of status and importance was this?

One must know, Four Spirits Immortal Mountain possessed many second-tier resources.

Some of which, even true Celestial Immortal Realm Martial Artists like them coveted deeply.

Such resources were very costly to purchase.

And growing them on their own under normal circumstances was simply out of the question.

Searching for them in the wild immortal mountains was even more time-consuming and laborious, not worth the effort.

"Mr. Xu, I recall that Four Spirits Immortal Mountain cultivates a certain second-tier Immortal Elixir called Black Blood Flower Vine," said Su Yongzhou of Flame Dragon Mountain abruptly.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment; there was indeed such a second-tier Immortal Elixir, and quite a fine one at that.

"That’s right."

Su Yongzhou immediately added, "This Black Blood Flower Vine greatly benefits my cultivation. When it matures, is it possible to let me have some?"

Every time the Black Blood Flower Vine matured, the yield was considerable—over a hundred stalks.

"How many does Mr. Su need?" Xu Yang smiled.

Su Yongzhou was overjoyed.

After some thought, he solemnly said, "Mr. Xu, twenty stalks would suffice. I have a plan: at the trade fair, exchange these twenty stalks for your choice of three treasures from among all the rare goods my Flame Dragon Mountain will offer. How about it?"

"Oh?"

This piqued Xu Yang’s interest.

Flame Dragon Mountain was a sect guarded by a Golden Immortal.

Though it was not as strong as Black Fire Immortal Mountain, neither was it weak.

The trade fair jointly hosted by all the major powers of Four Spirits Town was famous far and wide; the treasures Flame Dragon Mountain would bring would surely not be ordinary.

"Any three treasures from among them?" Xu Yang asked, to be sure.

Su Yongzhou grinned broadly. "Of course. This is within my authority."

"However, during selection, you’ll have to choose while the treasures are still sealed in jade boxes, treasure flasks, or similar containers. What treasures you get depends entirely on your luck, Mr. Xu."

Even if it was luck, it was still worth it.

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up. He had confidence in his own discernment; picking any three would certainly be worth more than twenty stalks of Black Blood Flower Vine.

"Deal."

"Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Xu."

"I should be thanking you, Mr. Su."

Su Yongzhou was especially pleased.

Black Blood Flower Vine was of great use to him, and it was not so easy to purchase elsewhere.

With these twenty stalks, he would be able to considerably boost his strength.

As for offering three treasures for selection, he did have the authority.

Furthermore, he could guarantee that even after the sect’s higher-ups learned of it, they would not blame him.

After all, this marked the establishment of a connection with Xu Yang.

Should Xu Yang pick an exceptional treasure, he’d remember the favor.

Seeing the deal struck between Su Yongzhou and Xu Yang, the rest could not help but feel a ripple of emotion within.

Su Yongzhou’s move both secured resources for himself and brought him closer to Xu Yang.

"Mr. Xu possesses strength at the Celestial Immortal Realm, and is a Pill Master as well. Could it be that you can already refine second-tier pills?" Lue Shan’s mind shifted, gazing at Xu Yang with shock.

Xu Yang nodded slightly. "Other than top-grade second-tier pills, most others are not difficult for me."

Hiss!

Everyone was tremendously startled.

Such confidence was truly shocking.

Most are not difficult?

The few of them were greatly shaken, but looking at that utterly confident Xu Yang, strangely, not a trace of doubt rose in their hearts.

He was the dignified Guardian of Four Spirits Immortal Mountain, the Direct Disciple of Master Dan Qi, and a seed disciple of Black Fire Immortal Mountain—there was no reason to put on airs!

The answer was clear—no reason!

Lue Shan came from Lingxi Sect.

Once he regained his composure, he could not help but declare, "With Mr. Xu’s astonishing skill in the Alchemy Dao, we should cooperate in alchemy in the future. My Lingxi Sect would never shortchange Mr. Xu."

"It can be arranged," Xu Yang responded with a thoughtful look, observing Lue Shan’s reaction.

Alchemy masters—these families and sects might have some, but none likely to a shocking extent.

They might not even have a third-tier Pill Master.

"Gentlemen, may I ask, are Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixirs considered rare?"

"Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir? Those are exceedingly rare!"

In a flash, the five all straightened up, their eyes burning as they stared at Xu Yang. "Mr. Xu, could it be that you can refine them?"

"To be frank, Mr. Xu, our Lingxi Sect has an alchemist, but the best is only second-tier. Only one of them can possibly refine the Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir, and even then, with very low success rate."

"Although Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir is termed as a first-tier pill, in reality it is not inferior to ordinary second-tier pills; it’s exceedingly difficult to refine."

"But if one could possess a large quantity of such pills, the True Immortal level would see rapid advancement in power as well as solidification of its foundation."

...

Looking at the helpless expressions of the five, Xu Yang realized that the families and sects really lacked Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixirs, and that this pill provided immense benefit for cultivation at the peak of True Immortal.

"Refining Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir is not difficult for me. At least, I’ve never failed in previous attempts."

"Should you all be interested, you may send someone to Four Spirits Immortal Mountain for further discussion."

Xu Yang’s intentions were clear: refine pills, acquire resources.

With his current ability, refining Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir was almost effortless.

And this sort of pill could be exchanged for second-tier resources.

With enough of them, these major families and sects before him would definitely be very interested.

In fact, the Nine-Turn True Immortal Elixir was even more enticing than many second-tier Immortal Pills.

The price was a bit lower than most second-tier Immortal Pills, but it greatly enhanced a True Immortal’s cultivation, reinforced foundations, and sped up the breakthrough into the Celestial Immortal Realm.

As Xu Yang finished speaking, the five looked at him with fervent desire in their eyes.

"Mr. Xu, this matter involves considerable Immortal Elixirs; we shall need to consult with our sects and clans first."

"We will certainly head to Four Spirits Immortal Mountain for discussions."

The crowd all expressed their positions.

Although they had to report back, it was not a refusal. Refining such quantities of elixirs was not something they could decide on their own.

Xu Yang’s face shone with a wide smile.

Using pills to draw in these great families and sects.

Even if he were to utterly sever ties with the Yang Family, once these people reaped concrete benefits, they would truly side with him.

He would also be able to exchange for resources—killing two birds with one stone.
