Chapter 797: Fellow Daoist, Did You Break Through to a New Realm?

Zhenyue Daoist Master thought for a moment, returned the Spiritual Peach, and said solemnly:

“I won’t say more polite words, these two Dragon Blood Fruits should have a better effect, so we will accept them shamelessly.”

He isn’t an Alchemist, but due to his cousin’s condition, he has studied the properties and pharmacology of medicines and knows that fire attribute spirit medicines and spirit fruits that replenish Qi and blood are also helpful for his cousin’s illness.

However, these spirit plants are mainly used by Body Cultivators and are rarely planted in the sect.

He plans to search for a pill formula when he returns; as long as it’s not a sect secret, he can exchange for it.

If possible, he wants to visit Stone Mountain Black once more and have Ji An refine them.

Reporting this to the elders, the use is also very legitimate, and if his cousin breaks through to the Nascent Soul Level, the sect will also benefit.

He was only one step away from Nascent Soul, having battled in the East Sea Land for a hundred years with a Dao Heart as firm as iron, just waiting for an opportunity to nurture the Soul Infant in the Golden Core.

The sect would still give face for sending out non-secret pill formulas.

“If you need alchemy in the future, feel free to ask,”

Ji An smiled and said, refining more high-tier elixirs is good for honing one’s skills.

For the illness of Huayin Daoist Master, the Thunderstruck Spiritual Peach is absolutely effective, but it cannot be directly ingested.

The Thunder Fruit is extremely yang and fierce; its medicinal properties must be harmonized before being consumed. Otherwise, the patient’s body, already suffering from a cold ailment, would turn into a battlefield, likely causing violent conflict.

He has too many good things he cannot explain the source of and lacks the confidence to expose them. This situation might improve after achieving Nascent Soul in the future.

“Haha, as long as fellow Daoist doesn’t mind us disturbing you. Now that the Sanyang Tongmai Pill has been refined, we should also return to the sect. Tomorrow at noon, I set a banquet at the Tripod Fragrance Pavilion in the Immortal City. I hope fellow Daoist will do us the honor to attend.”

Zhenyue Daoist Master said politely. His pride lies in his bones, and he seldom says whom to feast.

Just now, his cousin sent a sound transmission detailing the pill’s effect. The other party can help refine higher quality pills to alleviate his cousin’s pain, and he is genuinely grateful.

The effect of the pill can last for some time, which is a great opportunity for his cousin to improve her cultivation, so that’s why they are eager to return.

“It should be I who should see you off instead.”

“Haha, it’s settled then.”

As they continued chatting, Ji An asked:

“Friend, how is the current situation at Wulan Mountain compared to when I left?”

Zhenyue Daoist Master solemnly replied:

“The concentration of Demon Fog has slightly increased, and its pollution has become stronger. Fortunately, the number of high-tier True Demons and demon lords hasn’t visibly increased. Right now, the Cultivation Realm has mobilized, and the situation is under control, so there’s no need to worry. I estimate it will remain steady like this until Nascent Soul Level True Demons make their presence known.”

Taking the Black Wind Ridge fortress as an example, when he left, there were three late-stage Golden Core cultivators stationed there.

A late-stage Golden Core True Demon came across the world, intending to make it a hunting ground, but ended up being hunted down.

Golden Puppet Pavilion has invested many flying puppets, completely monitoring the fortress for tens of miles around, leaving no place for True Demons to hide.

Ji An’s face showed a few more smiles, “That’s good, it allows more time to enhance cultivation. When catastrophe erupts, cultivation is the greatest confidence.”

Unless encountering a large number of True Demons of the same realm for an ambush, late-stage Nascent Soul level Daoist Monarchs should have much less fear of the calamity, and perhaps it could even be an opportunity for improvement.”

Zhenyue Daoist Master laughed heartily, “Even without a True Demon Tribulation, cultivation is our greatest confidence.”

…

Just after Zhenyue Daoist Master left, another guest arrived at Stone Mountain Black.

In the grotto mansion, Lin Jiuxiao took out a storage bag and said solemnly:

“Senior brother, the profits from selling resources in this manner, I’ve purchased the related medicinal materials as per your instructions, but the premium on spirit medicines is quite high, and I think it isn’t much cheaper than buying pills.”

In recent months, the prices of Transforming Essence Divine Mud and Washing Spirit Sand have been skyrocketing. He witnessed the other party’s speed at earning spirit stones; to describe it as picking up spirit stones does not do justice.

Ji An took the storage bag and asked:

“Each medicinal materials shop has cooperative Alchemists, and spirit medicines are sold at pill prices; high-tier spirit medicines are scarce, so there’s no other way. How many sets of materials were acquired?”

The Purple Cloud Fruits in the Gourd World would mature in decades, lacking only other medicinal materials.

The Purple Cloud Tree bears twelve fruits, which means three Purple Cloud Jade Ganoderma Pills can be refined in twelve furnaces.

“Only eight sets.”

Ji An checked the quality of the spirit medicines and smiled:

“Not bad, continue purchasing in the future.”

Eight sets of materials should be enough to refine a dozen or so Purple Cloud Jade Ganoderma Pills.

As the True Demon Tribulation is imminent,

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”

Lin Jiuxiao shook his head and said regretfully:

“The prices of spiritual objects related to Transforming Essence Divine Mud have also started to soar, and even then, it’s hard to purchase. We can only rely on selling Tier Three Spirit Washing Sand, but the Spirit Sand you gave me has only a small amount of Tier Three Upper Grade left.”

He lost a source of income, feeling quite reluctant, but there’s no other choice.

Ji An took out several bags from the Grotto Void Stone and said:

“The market reacted so quickly. These Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Washing Sands are the last of my stock, watch the timing to sell them.”

He estimated using Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Washing Sand for purifying Yin Beads would be too extravagant, so no power would be willing to purchase it.

Over the past two years, the spirit vein in the Gourd World thrived, and the Spirit Devouring Insect swarm expanded significantly, producing over a thousand catties of Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Washing Sand.

He’s willing to trust sect members but doesn’t dare to excessively and continuously provide Spirit Washing Sand.

In the future, he must find something that can conceal soul fluctuations, to personally sell the Spirit Sand.
