“The Sect Master wants me to refine a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, what remuneration does he plan to offer?”

Lin Yuan asked directly, without beating around the bush.

“The Azure Dragon Sect Master is surprised that Master Yun Zhenzi is not asking first about the specific number of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills to be refined?” the Azure Dragon Sect Master slightly startled.

“I prefer to ask about the remuneration first, that way I am motivated to refine the medicine.” Lin Yuan said with a smile.

In fact, as long as the Azure Dragon Sect Master could gather the materials for the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, Lin Yuan could refine any number of them.

“That’s the case, our association intends to hire Master Yun Zhenzi to refine twenty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, as for the remuneration, how about one million top-grade Immortal Crystals?”

the Azure Dragon Sect Master pondered for a moment before speaking.

One million top-grade Immortal Crystals was a colossal amount, equivalent to ten times the wealth of an ordinary Jade Immortal.

Five hundred years ago, Lin Yuan obtained the many resources prepared by Yun Zhenzi for his ‘revival’, which together amounted to at most one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals.

“One million top-grade Immortal Crystals?”

Lin Yuan took an extra look at the Azure Dragon Sect Master, “It seems the Sect Master doesn’t have much sincerity.”

If this were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, refining twenty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills for a remuneration of one million top-grade Immortal Crystals would indeed be a fair price.

But now?

The Celestial-Demon War was about to start, and the value of various resources such as Immortal Pills was skyrocketing, especially strategic Immortal Pills like the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

“How much does Master Yun Zhenzi intend to ask for?”

the Azure Dragon Sect Master asked.

“Ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals.” Lin Yuan said outright.

“Ten million?” The Azure Dragon Sect Master’s expression soured.

The Nine Dragons Commerce Association was big and wealthy enough to afford ten million top-grade Immortal Crystals, but for the remuneration for refining Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?

“Or, the Nine Dragons Commerce Association could give me a piece of ‘Celestial Source’, which could also offset the remuneration for this batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.”

Lin Yuan suddenly said.

Celestial Source, coming from the Origin of the Immortal Realm, was said to be greatly beneficial for the comprehension of laws.

However, only the Ancestor of the Immortal Path and disciples under the Ancestral Master were allowed into the Primordial Lands, and Celestial Source was extremely scarce outside of those lands.

For the past five hundred years, whether overtly or covertly, Lin Yuan had not obtained even a single piece of ‘Celestial Source’. This was a good opportunity while helping the Nine Dragons Commerce Association refine the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, to see if he could secure a piece.

The Nine Dragons Commerce Association had significant influence in the thirty-three Immortal Domains, they should possess the means to acquire ‘Celestial Source’.

“A piece of ‘Celestial Source’?” The Azure Dragon Sect Master said, “Master Yun Zhenzi should be aware of the value of ‘Celestial Source’.”

It’s too scarce, impossible to measure with Immortal Crystals.

“The Nine Revolutions Golden Pills I refine should be worth a piece of ‘Celestial Source’.” Lin Yuan spoke up.

“I can’t give ‘Celestial Source’,” said the Azure Dragon Sect Master as he stood up, “It seems we cannot cooperate with Master Yun Zhenzi.”

The Nine Dragons Commerce Association could offer ‘Celestial Source’, but the Azure Dragon Sect Master did not think the remuneration for Yun Zhenzi’s batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was worth it.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“We may cooperate in the future.”

Lin Yuan watched the Azure Dragon Sect Master leave.

…

In another cave mansion in Cangwu Immortal City.

The figure of the Azure Dragon Sect Master appeared.

“How is it, how did the negotiation with Master Yun Zhenzi go?” A white-haired elder beside him asked, he was also a Jade Immortal, the one who introduced Yun Zhenzi to the Azure Dragon Sect Master.

“It didn’t work out,” the Azure Dragon Sect Master frowned, “That Yun Zhenzi asked for ten million Immortal Crystals, or a piece of ‘Celestial Source’.”

“Ten million Immortal Crystals?” the white-haired elder considered, “It’s indeed a bit high, but given the current situation, you also understand, the Celestial-Demon War is approaching, it’s normal for the remuneration for refining such Immortal Pills as Nine Revolutions Golden Pills to increase.”

“But ten million Immortal Crystals is still too high, with those, I can completely hire those top-tier Alchemy Masters.”

“The last time before the Celestial-Demon War, Yun Zhenzi’s alchemy abilities were just so-so,” the Azure Dragon Sect Master said, “In recent hundreds of years, he indeed refined a batch of fairly good quality Immortal Pills, but that’s a recent thing, how can he compare with those top-tier Alchemy Masters?”

The medicinal pills refined by Alchemy Masters involve randomness, more a matter of luck and state.

Perhaps he’s in good form now, hence the quality of the Immortal Pills is also good, whereas those top-tier Alchemy Masters can maintain such form consistently.

In the Azure Dragon Sect Master’s view, Yun Zhenzi is merely in good form recently; it’s uncertain if he would be able to even form pills when refining Nine Revolutions Golden Pills if his state worsens.

If an Alchemy Master fails in alchemy, they need not take on the loss of materials, meaning the Nine Dragons Commerce Association would swallow the loss themselves.

Under such circumstances, the Azure Dragon Sect Master naturally was not willing to commit too much on Yun Zhenzi.

“I originally thought this Yun Zhenzi, being new to alchemy mastery, would be more humble, but turns out he’s quite greedy too,” the Azure Dragon Sect Master said with an icy gaze, “These alchemy masters, taking advantage of the impending Celestial-Demon War, are arbitrarily raising their remuneration, they all deserve to die.”

A strange feeling arose in the heart of the white-haired elder beside him.

Wasn’t the Nine Dragons Commerce Association doing the same thing? Eagerly earning war wealth as the Celestial-Demon War approached?

…

The Azure Dragon Sect Master not agreeing to the conditions did not bother Lin Yuan too much.

As his reputation as an Alchemy Master spread, there were often forces or powerful Jade Immortals requesting him to refine Immortal Pills, he did not care much about cooperation with the Nine Dragons Commerce Association.

“It seems ‘Celestial Source’ is really hard to come by.”

Lin Yuan sighed.

From the attitude of the Azure Dragon Sect Master, Lin Yuan could tell that the value of a piece of ‘Celestial Source’ was far above ten million Immortal Crystals.

At least faced with a remuneration of ten million Immortal Crystals, the Azure Dragon Sect Master showed contemplation, but ‘Celestial Source’? Lin Yuan saw that the other party never even considered it.

“Could it be that obtaining Celestial Source can only be done through plunder?” Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan did not wish to do so; it would create too much noise.

Currently, Lin Yuan had yet to grow to the strength where he could be invincible in the Immortal Realm, preferring to remain low-profile.

…

“Hm?”

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering.

His expression shifted ever so slightly.

“Master.” Yun Zhenzi appeared, “The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall is looking for you.”

Flying Immortal Hall is an important part of Cangwu Immortal City, responsible for the Cave Mansion Area; and its Hall Master is one of the magnates of the Immortal City, second only to the few people in high position below the city lord.

What’s more important is that compared to a Jade Immortal-level power like the Nine Dragons Commerce Association, Flying Immortal Hall is under the jurisdiction of Cangwu Immortal City, which was founded by the Ancestor of the Immortal Path.

The power behind the Nine Dragons Commerce Association is the nine Dragon Clan Jade Immortals, while the power behind Cangwu Immortal City is the Ancestor of the Immortal Path.

Swoosh.

Quickly.

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall appeared before Lin Yuan.

“Master Yun Zhenzi.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan.

“Hall Master.” Lin Yuan nodded, his attitude toward the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall was somewhat better than toward the Azure Dragon Sect Master of Nine Dragons Commerce Association.

After all, the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall is a magnate of Cangwu Immortal City, where Lin Yuan is now residing; he has to show some courtesy.

“Did you come to an agreement with the Azure Dragon Sect Master recently about cooperation?” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall asked.

Before visiting Lin Yuan, the Azure Dragon Sect Master had made numerous inquiries about Master Yun Zhenzi’s information; the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall was also aware of it.

“No agreement was reached.” Lin Yuan shook his head.

“Ha ha ha ha, the Azure Dragon Sect Master is a bossy person. I suppose he’s unwilling to suffer a loss.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall chuckled.

“It’s probably because he didn’t look favorably upon me.” Lin Yuan said.

“Given Master Yun Zhenzi’s alchemy accomplishments, I can only say that the Azure Dragon Sect Master is short-sighted.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall smiled.

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall pondered for a moment, then continued, “Since Master Yun Zhenzi didn’t reach an agreement with the Azure Dragon Sect Master, why not cooperate with us at Cangwu Immortal City instead?”

“Cooperate with you?” Lin Yuan glanced at the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall, unsurprised.

Given the status of the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall, coming here specially to visit him surely meant needing something.

“What do you need me to refine?” Lin Yuan asked.

“Like the Azure Dragon Sect Master, it’s a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall said.

As a strategic Immortal Pill, not only is it incredibly important to the Nine Dragons Commerce Association, but also to Cangwu Immortal City as well.

With the imminent war between immortals and demons approaching, Cangwu Immortal City is under tremendous pressure. At this moment, one more Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could potentially restore a Jade Immortal’s full combat capabilities.

“How many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?” Lin Yuan asked.

“For now, we temporarily need fifty pills.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall stated.

“Fifty pills…” Lin Yuan pondered, “What kind of compensation does the Hall Master intend to offer?”

“The Azure Dragon Sect Master told me that Master Yun Zhenzi needs ‘Immortal Source’. Therefore, for fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, I’m willing to offer three portions of ‘Immortal Source’ as compensation.”

“Three portions of ‘Immortal Source’?” Lin Yuan was mildly surprised.

The value of ‘Immortal Source’, as evident from the attitude of the Azure Dragon Sect Master, could be inferred.

The Azure Dragon Sect Master never even considered trading ‘Immortal Source’ with Lin Yuan; even if their cooperation could go through, it would definitely be compensated with tens of millions of Immortal Crystals.

Immortal Crystals can be earned.

But Immortal Source is not always obtainable.

Is the Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall actively offering Immortal Source as compensation?

Lin Yuan didn’t believe that the Hall Master couldn’t come up with tens of millions of top-grade Immortal Crystals.

“I am very confident in Master Yun Zhenzi’s alchemy mastery, and our future cooperation will be plentiful. I just hope that Master will not refuse us in the future.”

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall spoke.

Hearing these words, Lin Yuan immediately understood the Hall Master’s intentions.

The offering of three portions of Immortal Source wasn’t just for this cooperation, but for potential future cooperation as well.

“Does the Hall Master hold me in such high regard?” Lin Yuan said with a smile.

“I simply trust Master Yun Zhenzi.” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall stated: “If the Master agrees, I will apply for the Immortal Source. At most, it will be delivered in half a month.”

“No problem.” Lin Yuan nodded.

With the Immortal Source being voluntarily offered, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

…

Somewhere within a mysterious space in Flying Immortal Hall.

The Hall Master’s form appeared, immediately beginning the application for the transfer of ‘Immortal Source’.

“Hall Master, you’re using three portions of Immortal Source just for the compensation of Master Yun Zhenzi to refine fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?” A shadowy figure emerged beside him, incredulously asking.

Immortal Source is incredibly precious, and three portions of Immortal Source are almost impossible to buy even with a hundred million top-grade Immortal Crystals.

Mainly because there are no channels to purchase Immortal Source.

Even with the impending war of immortals and demons, using three portions of Immortal Source to refine fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was inconceivable. Even those top-tier Alchemy Masters would not dare ask for this price.

“Do you think, Master Yun Zhenzi is just an ordinary Alchemy Master?” The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall glanced at the shadow.

“Ah?” The shadow expressed shock.

If he’s not an ordinary Alchemy Master, then what kind of Alchemy Master is he?

“You don’t understand.”

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall shook his head, “Using three portions of Immortal Source to secure Master Yun Zhenzi’s future collaborations with our Cangwu Immortal City is in no way a losing deal.”

“Forget it, you may leave.”

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall said no more.

“Yes.”

With a heart full of questions, the shadow could only retreat.

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall sat alone, thinking:

“In the past four or five hundred years, the quantity of high-quality Immortal Pills in Cangwu Immortal City has greatly increased. Even the top-tier Alchemy Masters would find it impossible to continuously refine so many high-quality Immortal Pills.”

“And Yun Zhenzi moved into the city’s Cave Mansion five hundred years ago.”

The Hall Master of Flying Immortal Hall’s gaze was profound.
