Chapter 361
Back to the Wufengshan Spiritual Land.
tan san returned to his previous state of cultivation.
Occasionally, he would go to the backyard to watch the growth of various spiritual plants.
After all, he initially relied on the cultivation of spiritual plants, and essentially was a spiritual plant cultivator.
Naturally, he would not abandon his original profession, but now, ordinary spiritual plants were no longer worth his effort.
The thousand-year-old red leaf spirit tea tree has matured, and he has become idle. Naturally, he has left everything to Chen Chen to handle.
It must be said that the other person’s talent for spirit planting is still very good. Under his guidance, his skills have continued to improve. Now, he is very skilled at cultivating all kinds of spirit plants and basically never makes mistakes.
Especially those foundation-building spirit objects, each of which is growing very quickly.
“Judging from this, I estimate that in a few more days, they should all be mature.
And with this, I will be able to gather the ingredients for refining the foundation pill…It so happens that Chen Xiaoye also wants me to refine the foundation pill.
It’s just as well to refine it together.”
tan san muttered to himself, only instructing Chen Chen to cultivate as much as possible, as it might be useful in a few days.
He then returned to the secret room for cultivation and underwent a new round of training.
Previously, although he had mastered the entry-level training of each minor supernatural power and the secret arts of spiritual awareness attack and defense,
However, for him, the minor magical powers and various attack secrets that he had just learned were of little use, and at least did not help improve his strength much.
Therefore, after learning the basics, he still needed to keep practicing, and naturally advance to the proficient, small success, and even great success stages.
“However,
as my cultivation progresses,
the progress of cultivating minor magical powers has also accelerated considerably.
If before, for a minor magical power, I wanted to advance from the basics to proficiency, I would need at least a hundred cultivation practices.
You have to take one step at a time, and then you can gradually build up to mastery.
Nowadays, it only takes fifty or even thirty practice sessions…”
tan san couldn’t help but feel a little emotional and happy.
Although what he had mastered was still the structure of the runes, to outsiders it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the Taoist scriptures of the magical arts.
But only tan san himself knew that the two were actually a manifestation of the rule rune that simplifies from complexity.
It was a modification made by powerful cultivators in order to guide lower-level cultivators to progress and improve step by step.
It was only because of the passage of time that this guidance and simplification was slowly not understood, which in turn created a clear boundary between spells and supernatural powers.
tan san, on the other hand, discovered this because of his unique characteristics.
Although the intrinsic meaning of Taoist texts is clearly different from the spell rune structures formed from them,
his innate familiarity with cultivation and improvement allowed him to quickly improve the realm of cultivation of the corresponding minor magical powers.
This also saved him a lot of time in cultivation.
“Proficient in Dragon-Catching Hands, with some success in Phantom Doubles and Shape-Shifting.
Proficient in Divine Power Technique, and also proficient in the Great Boulder Shield Technique…more or less, there has been obvious progress.
Although in terms of rank, it is still far inferior to the previous minor supernatural powers such as the Great Cave Viewing Sky, Minor Spirit Suppression Technique, and Poisonous Waves.
But I believe that soon, I will be able to catch up, and thus play my due role in battle.”
tan san sighed.
Time passed unknowingly as he continued his cultivation.
The day of his appointment with Chen Xiaoyi drew nearer and nearer.
Until it finally arrived.
However, the other party did not come.
Although tan san was puzzled, he did not care too much.
Although he cared a lot about his own subsequent cultivation methods, he would never pin his hopes on just one person.
His true focus was actually on the next gathering of the Four Shrines.
At this time, the next gathering of the Four Divine Temples was not far away.
At the last gathering of the Four Divine Temples, he learned a lot of cultivation information from the mouths of those mysterious cultivators, and he also learned that the old man Tiancan had come to Tianyuan City and that he possessed a speed-type magical talent and the method for refining the ancient magic weapon, the Pan Tian Seal.
At that time, after he had killed the old man Tiancan, he did discover this method for refining the Pan Tian Seal.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much experience in refining artifacts.
Moreover, although the Heaven-Shattering Seal was not a true ancient spiritual treasure, but rather the method of refining a fake one, it was still definitely a magical weapon in its own right.
With his strength and means, he already found it difficult to control a magical weapon, so how could he possibly refine one?
“However, that method of refining the Heaven-Shattering Seal was indeed extremely exquisite.
Moreover, it had a method of ‘borrowing an embryo to become spiritual’, which had to be said was a genius idea.
If I really want to refine the “Fan Tian Seal” in the future, I can actually completely recast the Seal of the Earth using the method of “borrowing an embryo to become a spirit”.
In this way, its power will definitely be greatly enhanced again.
At least, judging from the description above, the Fan Tian Seal is far superior to the Seal of the Earth.”
tan san muttered, and he was indeed a little excited about the gathering of the Four Divine Temples.
“According to the opportunity of once every six months, there are almost ten more days before the gathering of the Four Divine Temples.
Last time, I used the technique of causality and wish to manifest holiness in front of a few people and have a certain say.
How should I deal with this time?
Moreover, will the gathering of the Four Divine Temples this time still be the same people as before?
Will there be new people?
And will they appear as the ‘ancient’ powerful people they mentioned before?”
tan san muttered.
He thought about the previous generation of cultivators at the level of the “Xuan Ying Jing” realm that they had mentioned.
According to what that previous generation of cultivators had said, there were quite a few people like him.
Perhaps at first, there would be relatively frequent exchanges at the Four Temple Gathering, but after one’s cultivation improved, the information obtained from the gathering would not be of much help.
Moreover, after they cultivated to the realm of “Jie Dan,” the time and energy required for each retreat would be relatively high.
Naturally, this would reduce the time spent exchanging at the Four Temple Gathering.
Then, after occasionally going in, they found that the people they knew were already gone, or only one or two were still there, so of course they didn’t want to go in too much.
“However, for me,
the Four Temple Assembly is definitely an excellent place to obtain information from all sides.
Even the Five Elements technique, which I lack,
if it doesn’t go well with Chen Xiaoyi, I can still obtain it from the mouths of those cultivators in the Four Temple Assembly.”
tan san knew that
The cultivators who entered the assembly in the Four Divine Temples were all extraordinary.
Not only were their cultivation bases at least at the level of Foundation Building or above, judging from the characteristics of each of them, there were indeed many elites from major sects and outstanding cultivators.
They had seen a lot and knew a lot.
Naturally, they would have the information and channels he needed.
In addition,
he also wanted to know if the “Qiao Mei” who had sought the God-avoiding Pill from him to avoid being chased by a certain predecessor had successfully escaped.
If she had,
then he would need to prepare more of the pills that other cultivators had ordered from him.
“Fortunately, I have quite a lot of the pills on hand.
It should be enough to meet the needs of those cultivators.
It’s the other pills and treasures…”
tan san muttered, planning to be extremely well prepared and determined to make a fortune at this gathering.
In this way,
after another three days, Chen Xiaoyi arrived late. “Greetings to the Kunpeng Sect Master!
This time, I was the one who missed the appointment.
There were some complications.
But fortunately, everything went well, and we were still able to complete this commission as we had previously agreed.
It is…“
After a series of greetings, Chen Xiaoye first apologized, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
”But go ahead and say it!”
tan san smiled faintly and said.
Even if Chen Xiaoye didn’t say it, he could guess.
The reason for the delay was that the plan he negotiated with the other party beforehand was not approved by some people in the Green Leaf Alliance.
As for the reason for the disapproval,
tan san quickly figured it out after a little thought.
One reason was that after refining the pill, the plan to evenly divide the pill was not approved by some people, who believed that the alchemist would occupy too much of the benefits.
The key was that although he had a good reputation in the outside world, it was more spread by his strength.
As for his alchemy skills?
is instead unconfirmed.
To be precise, no one has asked him to refine certain relatively rare and precious elixirs to prove his alchemy skills.
For example, Xu Ruoxian, who has a hump on his mouth, has a Nine-Turns-Back-to-Life Pill, which is coveted by countless cultivators.
tan san?
There is no such truly representative elixir.
Naturally, in terms of fame and recognition among the general public of cultivators, he is far inferior to the other party.
The second is
the cultivation method!
The “Purity Yang Five Elements Cultivation” Dan-forming chapter.
For many cultivators, it is of little use.
After all, this is a cultivation method suitable only for cultivators with the aptitude of the five elements.
But its top-notch cultivation method inherently represents great value.
Of course, some people would feel uncomfortable with it being given away so easily to tan san, and spoke out to stop him.
Sure enough.
Chen Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Some people feel that it is inappropriate to directly give the cultivation method to the sect master.
Some people have suggested that they want to use this as an opportunity to get the Master to join our Green Leaf Alliance.“
”Hm?”
tan san frowned.
He himself was also a Green Leaf Alliance cultivator.
But that was just a nominal status, and in reality, his relationship with the Green Leaf Alliance was not significant.
The intersection between the two parties was a relationship of employer and employee.
And obviously, the ‘joining’ that Chen Xiaoye mentioned now would naturally not be just a nominal member of the Green Leaf Alliance as before.
Instead, he has officially become one of them, subject to the orders of the leader of the Green Leaf Alliance and some of the alliance elders.
“I know that with the identity and strength of the current leader, he has had previous experiences of refusing to join the Qingyuan Sect, so naturally he cannot look down on our Green Leaf Alliance.
So I directly rejected it for the leader.”
Saying this, Chen Xiaoye paused slightly, then smiled helplessly and said, “So, some of the alliance elders suggested that the basic plan for both sides is actually not bad.
But in order to ensure the interests of the Green Leaf Alliance,
the first ten of the Foundation Pills that the Master of the Peak refines will all belong to the Green Leaf Alliance.
The rest will be divided between the Master of the Peak and the Green Leaf Alliance in a corresponding ratio.
Then they will be divided equally.”
tan san laughed when he heard this, saying, ”Therefore, the Green Leaf Alliance must ensure that they have these ten Foundation Pills first.
In other words, if I succeed only once or twice, then I can guarantee that the Green Leaf Alliance will reap the greatest benefits, and at least the first ten will belong to you, right?“
”Yes!“
Chen Xiaoyi lowered her head and nodded.
”This is an idea that guarantees a good income, no matter what.
However, I do have another plan here. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it.”
tan san nodded in approval, then spoke with a smile.
As for the fact that the other party changed their mind at the last minute,
this is actually a very normal thing.
Immortal cultivators, what they value more, is always benefits.
In the minds of the senior members of the Qingye Alliance,
they provided the foundation-building spiritual objects and materials, and also handed over a top-notch technique for the formation-binding realm, so how could they not feel like they are losing out.
Naturally, they wanted to make up for it in other ways.
So he thought for a moment, and then spoke up, deciding to change a certain plan.
“What plan?“
Chen Xiaoyi was taken aback and asked curiously.
”I will refine the foundation pill for you in a guaranteed mode.
For five spirit materials, I can calculate it as three foundation pills per pill.
Then in the end, regardless of success or failure, I will give you 15 foundation pills.
That is, even if I fail with all five spirit materials,
you will still have 15 foundation pills.
Of course, if I succeed in one or two furnaces, but the number of successfully refined foundation pills does not reach 15, then I will compensate you accordingly.
What do you think?“
tan san then asked in return.
”This…”
Chen Xiaoyi was stunned. This plan was naturally far better for the Green Leaf Alliance than before.
Because they had never thought that someone could refine the corresponding elixir with just five foundation spirit materials.
Fifteen pieces.
That’s a lot for any force.
But instinctively, he felt that something was wrong.
And from her knowledge of the former Fenghua Master, now Kunpeng Taoist, and the leader of the Wufengshan spiritual realm, the other party was definitely not someone who would accept losses.
Since he has made such a decision.
It must mean that he has the ability and confidence to refine even more foundation-building pills?
However, with such conditions, he knew that the elders of the Qingye Alliance would definitely agree.
Although she was here on behalf of the Qingye Alliance this time, the ones who would really make the decision were the elders of the Qingye Alliance.
Therefore, she could only say, “Can I discuss it with them and make a decision?”
“Of course you can!”
tan san nodded and said.
He knew that the other party would definitely agree.
Because this is a great temptation to anyone.
Fifteen foundation pills are definitely not a small amount.
Compared to the five ingredients, it is a great profit.
