Chapter 1150 - 750: Rising Like the Sun

Chapter 1150: Chapter 750: Rising Like the Sun

Every few hundred zhang, squads of law enforcers in uniform black robes, faces solemn, silently patrolled to maintain public order.

Shen Xuan’s voice rang out, firm and resonant: "For them."

True Master Yao Chen did not understand at first, then his mind trembled slightly.

From those ordinary faces, he saw a strange kind of radiance.

Not the confusion, numbness, and exhausted squalor common among Loose Cultivators.

But yearning, confidence, and exhilaration.

A spiritual bearing that life would grow better.

"We who have cultivated Golden Cores—our ancestors were once Loose Cultivators, or even just mortals."

Shen Xuan turned back, his gaze clear as a mirror.

"We come from the common folk, and shall return to the common folk."

"Tier One Elixirs, Magical Artifacts, Talismans, Array Plates, Spirit Rice..."

"To you and me, they are of little use now. But to them, they are what they rely on to survive, the spark that keeps their Dao path going, the hope that does not extinguish in the face of a perilous world."

"If Song Country is to resist Demon Cultivators and deal with demonic chaos that may at any time spread across the borders, it cannot rely only on Sect disciples. It must also mobilize these most ordinary Loose Cultivators and mortals."

True Master Yao Chen stood in silence for a long time.

Then he bowed deeply to Shen Xuan.

"Senior Profound Ice’s breadth of heart—Yao Chen can only look up in awe. To hear such teachings today is a blessing of three lifetimes!"

He had understood.

Starlight Island was providing large quantities of cheap Tier One Spiritual Objects to nourish the broadest mass of bottom-tier Loose Cultivators.

The success rate of Independent Practitioner Foundation Establishment was low, far inferior to Sect disciples.

However, their numbers were vast.

So long as Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects could keep up, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators on Starlight Island would increase explosively.

This was a "sunlit scheme" of gathering sand into a tower and pooling water into a deep abyss.

It was the fastest shortcut to提升宋国修士整体实力的最快捷径.

In recent years, within the small circle of High Tier Cultivators of Song Country, a piece of news had been circulating.

True Master Profound Ice had joined hands with True Monarch Tian Gong of the Thousand Mechanism Sect to introduce a new type of Flying Puppet.

A Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator could already control it, with battle power comparable to a Tier Three Demon Bird.

True Master Yao Chen had only taken it as a clever creation and marveled at the wonders of Artifact Refining, never thinking deeply about it.

Now, thinking back, he drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

Tier Three Puppets were extremely costly and difficult to refine, originally a niche craft.

But with True Master Profound Ice and True Monarch Tian Gong working together, how could they possibly do something useless?

An ordinary True Pill Realm cultivator’s combat strength was inferior to that of a Tier Three Demon Bird.

In the entire Song Country, the number of True Pill Realm cultivators whose strength could compare to a Tier Three Demon Bird was only a bit over four hundred.

Among these, the Profound Celestial Sect and the Golden Sun Sect accounted for nearly half.

If a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator could, by relying on a new-type Puppet, possess True Pill Realm combat power...

True Master Yao Chen looked at Shen Xuan, his eyes full of admiration.

"Senior’s vision is lofty and far-reaching, your layout profound!"

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

"I am aware of Medicine God Valley’s predicament. This situation is not without a solution; the door to cooperation has always been open."

True Master Yao Chen’s spirits lifted, and he hurriedly bowed, asking: "May Senior Profound Ice clearly instruct!"

Medicine God Valley, seated atop a Tier Four Spirit Vein, with fertile water and soil and abundant Spirit Medicine, was originally an excellent sacred ground for Alchemy.

They had separated from Danxia Sect and taken root in Song Country for a hundred years, had already restored more than half of their medicine fields, and firmly established themselves.

Only in recent years, as the price of Spirit Pills fell and Low Tier Alchemy became unprofitable, did they take the initiative to come to the island to pay a visit.

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice: "First, Medicine God Valley can fully expand the planting of various medicinal materials and Spirit Plants. Starlight Island will purchase them fairly at market price, without limitation on types, and the more the better."

"Second, Medicine God Valley can set up a branch on Starlight Island, specifically in charge of Refining and selling High Tier Spirit Pills. For example, Tier Three Spirit Pills such as Golden Transformation Pills, Life-Extending Pills, Soul Strengthening Pills—the profits are still substantial."

"Third, your Valley’s Pill Masters can be hired as instructors at Starlight Island’s academy, to teach the Alchemy Dao. The Valley’s disciples and Pill Master descendants can also enroll in the academy and enjoy the island’s resources."

Having said this, he looked at Yao Chen: "In this way, will Medicine God Valley be satisfied?"

True Master Yao Chen froze for a moment, then joy surfaced on his face.

Though they could not join hands to raise prices, to be deeply bound to Starlight Island, gain a stable sales channel for Spirit Medicine, open up the High Tier Elixir market, and moreover secure future prospects for the Valley’s disciples...

It was truly more than satisfactory!

"Satisfied! Immensely satisfied!"

True Master Yao Chen repeatedly bowed with clasped hands, his expression excited: "Senior’s great kindness—everyone in Medicine God Valley will never forget it! Whatever there is that Medicine God Valley can help with, Senior Profound Ice need only give the word!"

"Daoist Friend Yao Chen, you are too polite. Matters of cooperation ought from the start to be mutually beneficial and win–win."
