Chapter 303: Yun Tianyi: Can I meet Junior Brother Qin?
Not long after, the two of them had already finalized the types and prices of the resources for this transaction.
Although Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace currently lacks no types or years of medicinal resources, the number of alchemists within the sect is limited, and they cannot digest them all internally. On the other hand, Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect has a large number of high-level alchemists and an almost endless demand for various herbal materials. Naturally, they agreed to exchange goods for goods.
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace regularly provides Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect with a massive amount of medicinal resources, and in exchange, Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect needs to provide a specified quantity and type of pills to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Both sides get what they need, and everyone is happy.
"...I have brought the pills you need for this transaction. Senior Sister, please check them. If there are no problems, you can hand over the agreed-upon medicinal resources to us," Yun Tianyi said, raising his hand slightly and signaling to the elders behind him. The elders immediately brought over two large boxes made of star-patterned sandalwood.
The boxes were shimmering with treasure light, filled to the brim with large-capacity spatial bracelets and spatial rings, numbering in the hundreds and thousands.
Yun Tianyi took two spatial bracelets and handed them to Xue Bingxuan. She skillfully used her divine sense to explore them. Inside the bracelets were bottles of pills, ranging from low-grade mortal pills to high-grade immortal pills, including a large quantity of Heavenly Grade and Immortal Grade pills.
Simply put, the amount of this transaction could satisfy Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's consumption of pill resources for about thirty years. And such transactions between Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect occur three times a year. It has already exceeded ten times, with the quantity and quality increasing each time.
The reason for this is, of course, due to Qin Muling's rapid cultivation progress, his talent in Divine Ability has increased, and the Divine Medicine resources in the sect's medicinal garden have become more abundant.
Although the current market for pill trading is somewhat exaggerated due to the impending calamity, the prices of Holy Medicine and Divine Medicine, as precious raw materials, have also increased. However, this has no impact on Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
From the perspective of Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, only an abundant and reliable supply of herbal materials can guarantee the sect's massive production of pills. Therefore, maintaining a deep strategic cooperation with this female cultivation sect is a natural choice.
Xue Bingxuan immediately called a group of elders and disciples from the inner sect to inspect and count the pills in the spatial bracelets, and after confirming their accuracy, they were stored properly in the warehouse.
Then, a large group of female cultivators from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, dressed in colorful robes, entered one after another, each holding an exquisite jade box in their hands. The boxes contained hundreds of large-capacity spatial bracelets.
"Yun Gongzi, all the agreed-upon medicinal resources are here. You can inspect them freely," Xue Bingxuan said, gesturing for a maid by her side to present a golden purple jade card to Yun Tianyi. He skillfully infused it with mana, and countless images of medicinal herbs appeared on it. Each herb's grade, year, price, quantity, and other information were detailed, and graphical images could also be seen.
Beside Yun Tianyi, several elders and disciples from Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect picked up a spatial bracelet. As the light flickered, they took out several long rectangular cold jade boxes, each about a zhang long, and placed them on the ground one by one.
Instantly, colorful lights flowed, and a fragrant aroma filled the air. Inside the boxes were a Yin-Yang Tea Spirit Fruit, a Red Sun Secret Flower, and a Sand Rhino Sunflower, all Divine Medicines with a history of over 150,000 years. The roots were intact, and the medicinal properties had not been lost in the slightest. The picking, processing, and preservation methods were all extremely exquisite and professional.
The elders beside Yun Tianyi couldn't help but change their expressions. Even though they had seen many Supreme Grade herbal resources before, the ones in front of them were extremely rare and difficult to cultivate. Yet, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was able to provide them in large quantities.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's advanced herbal cultivation techniques have far surpassed Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect? How is this possible?
Yun Tianyi was shocked, but his mind quickly pondered. Pills are the most important and in-demand cultivation resource for cultivators, just like food is to ordinary people. The importance is self-evident.
Any Supreme-level lineage or sect, with billions of disciples and followers, needs to cultivate and meditate, refine their physical bodies, purify their mana, and improve their cultivation. The demand for various elixirs is almost endless. Therefore, the largest portion of the sect's annual financial expenditure is on elixirs.
Whether it is cultivating their own medicinal herbs or purchasing a large quantity of resources, the sect's alchemists refine the elixirs, which are then distributed by the sect's storeroom. This is something that almost every lineage or sect must do.
Of course, except for forces like the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, whose main business is alchemy, most lineages and sects do not have enough elixirs of their own production. Therefore, large-scale external procurement becomes an inevitable choice.
Where there is demand, there will be supply. Many lineages and aristocratic families that possess vast spiritual mountain resources specialize in cultivating various spirit medicines. There are also many small and medium-sized families and independent cultivators whose main livelihood is alchemy. They all live very comfortably.
Therefore, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has almost unlimited high-grade medicinal resources, which means they also have almost unlimited financial resources. Rapid progress in strength is an inevitable result.
And all of this... should be because of Qin Muling, right?
Countless thoughts surged in Yun Tianyi's mind. As an ancient lineage with a history of millions of years, the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect naturally has its own sources of information. Therefore, they are also aware of the various changes that have occurred in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in recent years.
After more than an hour, the elders of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect finally finished counting and verifying all the medicinal herbs, and both sides were satisfied.
Finally, Xue Bingxuan said, "This cooperation is good. Bring more supplies next time. In this era of great calamity, we need to have more reserves to feel secure."
Yun Tianyi's expression stiffened, and he spread his hands and said, "Senior Sister, the quantity of Heavenly Grade elixirs you requested is quite large. We had to tap into the sect's strategic reserves to gather this batch. It might be difficult to provide more next time!"
Yun Tianyi's smile was somewhat helpless. Originally, the elixirs provided to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, both in quantity and quality, were the best, and their supply was given priority.
However, this female cultivation sect seemed like a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled. No matter how many elixir resources the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect provided, they were almost always accepted without hesitation.
If it weren't for the fact that they provided more rare medicinal resources, the higher-ups of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect might not have been willing to accept. After all, in order to satisfy Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, many orders from other sects, including Dao Court, had to be postponed or canceled.
Xue Bingxuan smiled indifferently, "What are you worried about? Your strategic reserves can't be that small, right? As long as you meet our demands, we can give you more in return. For example, we can double the amount of Divine Medicine next time. We guarantee that they will all be over 500,000 years old. In addition, we will give you a hundred Heavenly Medicine treasures. How does that sound?"
"..."
Not only Yun Tianyi, but also the elders and guards behind him, their expressions changed completely.
For a sect like the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, a large quantity of Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine resources meant something that didn't need to be explained. They were essential resources for refining Heavenly Grade and Immortal Grade elixirs, and many of them were rare treasures that were hard to come by in the past.
Now that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace could provide these rare resources almost limitlessly, wouldn't the future of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect also benefit? Their profits could increase several times, or even more than ten times.
"Senior Sister, are you serious about this?" Yun Tianyi asked in a deep voice. If they could really obtain so many Heavenly Medicine resources, he would have to find a way to meet Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's demands, even if it meant going against his own father.
Xue Bingxuan said with certainty, "Of course. The guarantee I made as the representative of the sect is absolutely not a joke! As long as you can bring enough elixirs next time, we guarantee that we will provide a corresponding amount of Heavenly Medicine. We won't let you lose out!"
"Well... let me think about it!"
When it came to the critical moment, Yun Tianyi became less anxious.
If they could permanently solve the problem of their sect's medicinal materials supply, what harm would it do to sell more restricted-grade elixirs? They could simply make those old relics who were always in seclusion come out and refine elixirs day and night.
With such abundant resources of Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine, they could try refining some of the Legendary Level elixirs mentioned in the sect's classics, right?
However, agreeing to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace like this seemed somewhat inappropriate. They had to propose some additional conditions. Although this trade would also bring immense benefits to the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Tianyi slowly said, "If Senior Sister is willing to fulfill a request from me, then I will represent the sect in agreeing to this matter."
"What request?"
"Let me meet Junior Brother Qin Muling. How about that? Don't mention reasons like him being trapped in the Ruins of Return. We can't be fooled by that."
"Unfortunately, that's the truth! Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do."
Xue Bingxuan said calmly.
To prevent others from undermining their position, the news of Qin Muling being trapped in the Ruins of Return had spread in the Extreme Void Starry Sky several months ago, and it had indeed frightened many forces.
Therefore, in recent days, there had been high-level immortals secretly forming groups to explore the Ruins of Return. Various forces had participated, and there were even Quasi-Saint Emperors among them.
The result was obvious—they hadn't found anything.
The high-level members of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect initially didn't believe these rumors, which was why Yun Tianyi had made this request.
"Senior Sister, with our many years of friendly cooperation, can't you give me a definite answer?"
Yun Tianyi insisted, "If you think it's difficult, then I will go and seek an audience with Supreme, the sect's leader. I believe she should take my request seriously."
Xue Bingxuan shook her head. "It's your freedom if you want to see the sect leader, but Qin Junior Brother is indeed trapped in the forbidden area and hasn't returned. Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do."
To be frank, all the friendly sects outside combined were not as important as Qin Muling's safety, so Xue Bingxuan wouldn't reveal any information about this matter.
Yun Tianyi continued to talk for a while. Seeing that he couldn't get anything from Xue Bingxuan, he didn't feel discouraged. He proposed to take his leave and rest at the inn, planning to seek an audience with Mu Yinghua another day, or even Emperor Xin Yu. He believed he would get a different response.
...
In the chamber of Supreme, the sect leader.
Amidst layers of exquisite curtains, on the spacious embroidered bed, Mu Yinghua propped herself up on Qin Muling's body, her beautiful figure concealing the enchanting charm at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. Her face was flushed with a rosy glow, stunningly beautiful.
With the help of the time acceleration array and the countless days and nights of cultivation, nourished by numerous Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhymes, Mu Yinghua had finally crossed the threshold of the Second Grade Great Principal Golden Immortal. The speed of her progress was simply astonishing, even shocking the Quasi-Saint Emperors.
Of course, the most crucial reason is that Qin Muling gave the lotus seed derived from the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus to the master to eat. With the unimaginable assistance of the profound and abundant Good Fortune spiritual power, Mu Yinghua's cultivation soared and broke through the shackles of the Second Grade Great Principal Golden Immortal at an incredible speed.
Moreover, the essence of this lotus seed has not been completely absorbed and digested by her, which means that there is still room for further improvement in her cultivation. With the effect of dual cultivation with Qin Muling, it is not impossible for her to step into the First Grade Great Principle in the short term.
Of course, Qin Muling himself also gained considerable benefits. He already has the cultivation of the mid-stage True Immortal. If he is willing to be fully exploited by Mu Yinghua for several months, it would be a natural thing for him to obtain the Profound Immortal Dao Fruit.
"The effect of that lotus seed is good. If I could give one to Emperor Feng Ge, wouldn't it be..." Mu Yinghua hesitated for a moment, probing.
"That will have to wait until I break through to the Profound Immortal realm. For each major realm advancement in cultivation, only one lotus seed can be derived. It is impossible to have more," Qin Muling said, actually, for each major realm, three lotus seeds can be derived, but he naturally had to reserve some.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yinghua immediately said, "Then let's talk about it later. Remember, don't mention this to them, otherwise, it may cause a lot of trouble."
This kind of treasure that even the Quasi-Saint Emperor would be extremely tempted by, if they were to find out, they would definitely find ways to ask Qin Muling for it. It would be endless entanglement, which would not only be annoying but also easily cause unnecessary conflicts within the sect.
"Okay, I understand," Qin Muling said. The three lotus seeds derived from the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus at the Origin Immortal level had already been secretly given to the senior sisters of the Genesis Star Palace. It is likely that Dongfang Zhihan successfully broke through because of this.
As for the three lotus seeds at the True Immortal level, one has already been given to Mu Yinghua, and the other two are still in Qin Muling's hands.
As for who to specifically allocate them to, Qin Muling is still weighing and hesitating.
It is not a matter of scarcity but of inequality. It is just that he has too many Dao companions, and no matter who he gives them to, the remaining ones will not be happy, so it is better not to give them to anyone.
"Should I go out later and continue helping them transcend their tribulations?" Qin Muling lazily asked from the bed. There are still many female cultivators in the other forces who have not yet transcended the tribulation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal. The benefits promised to him have already been given, so this matter cannot be delayed for too long.
Mu Yinghua gently shook her long, black, and beautiful hair, elegantly got up from the bed, and dressed herself. Her voluptuous and graceful figure gradually disappeared into the layers of gorgeous dresses.
Hearing Qin Muling's words, she turned back and softly said, "No rush, let's rest here for a while. It will be safer for you to appear after the elders have sent away those outsiders."
Another benefit of letting Qin Muling rest in her boudoir is that the senior sisters will not find ways to come and find him, giving him a chance to recover his energy and spirit. Then he can face the next round of storms and rain. After all, Mu Yinghua still cares about him after exploiting him for so long.
"Okay, then I won't go out for now," Qin Muling said. Mu Yinghua leaned down, kissed him affectionately, and then turned and left.
