What I teach you is real stuff.

King Jinjiao said, "The people of Buddhism are very petty, and they especially like to guide disciples. If they encounter someone with good talent, they will say that you have a connection with Buddhism. If you have a background, they will not dare to touch you. But if you do not have a background, many people will be taken away directly and guided to the Western Buddhist sect."

I've heard that Buddhism has special methods of conversion that can bewitch people, leading them into a state of utter madness from which they cannot escape. Over time, this has resulted in a growing number of followers, so most people dare not provoke them.

These bald Westerners are not only petty and protective of their own, but they also outnumber each other. Furthermore, they cultivate top-tier Buddhist light body techniques and fist styles from the immortal realm; one fight attracts a whole horde.

If things go wrong, it might attract a few fierce-looking warriors who will tear even immortals apart with their bare hands. Who can withstand that?
Therefore, those who have lived in the immortal realm for a long time are generally unwilling to provoke the Buddhist sect. Only the top immortals of the Heavenly Court, such as the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, one of the Eight Immortals of the Heavenly Court who fought with the Buddhist Arhat Subduing Tiger for a hundred years, dare to teach the bald Buddhist monk a lesson.

Lu Yuan was also astonished upon hearing this, never expecting that Buddhism was so domineering in the immortal realm.

However, his domineering nature is indeed backed by his domineering strength.

Lu Yuan said, "Top-tier physical techniques in the Immortal Realm? I really need to see them someday."

Lu Yuan had just ascended to immortality, so he naturally didn't have any immortal crystals, the currency of the immortal realm. He had heard that the cultivation techniques and secret arts in the Buddhist Wan Jin Buddhist Hall were expensive, and other things were also overpriced, so he naturally wouldn't go there to buy anything.

As for witnessing the top-level physical skills and secret techniques of Buddhism, I'll wait until I have more money later.

If you don't have money, Buddha really won't save you, you poor bastard.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, he heard a huge bell ring out from inside the Golden Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Then several Vajra and a number of Sangharama came out.

This unusual sight caught Lu Yuan's attention, and he asked, "What does this mean?"

King Golden Horn shook his head; he didn't know either.

However, it seems that there must be an important person coming to the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall.

Sure enough, a moment later, a dragon's roar resounded in the sky above the Jade Heaven Kingdom, and a dragon horse came from the west, riding on auspicious clouds and carrying a young man in white.

The young man had black hair and golden eyes, and possessed profound Buddhist nature. He arrived riding a dragon horse, holding a nine-dragon Zen staff, and was accompanied by several Western monks and guardians.

"Who is this?"

Aren't all Buddhist monks in the West bald? How come there's a young man with such strong Buddhist nature who has such thick hair?
Who is this person?
King Golden Horn shook his head; he didn't know either, he had never heard of it before.

Judging from this, the fact that this young man could have the Buddhist Sangharama accompanying him means he must be a top figure in Buddhism.

In Buddhism, there are ten stages of enlightenment, which symbolize both power and status. They are: Devas, Sangharama, Jieti, Deva Kings, Vajra, Arhat, Great Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha, and Buddha Ancestor.

Jialan and Jiedi are guardian deities and powerful gods of Buddhism. Although their cultivation is not particularly high and they are generally true immortals, they cultivate orthodox Buddhist physical techniques, so although they are true immortals, their strength is comparable to that of Taiyi true immortals.

Moreover, in Buddhism, the titles of Garan and Jiedi represent not only power but also status.

They can be seen as accessories to powerful Buddhist figures. In the Western Paradise, the Garan and Jiedi follow behind powerful Buddhist figures. The more powerful a Buddhist figure is, the more Garan and Jiedi follow him. This can also be used to measure the strength and status of this Western bald monk.

Over time, many people in the immortal realm became aware of this. If you encounter a bald monk and are curious about his strength, just look to see if he is accompanied by Garan or Jiedi. If not, it means his status is average.

If a bald man travels with followers from all directions, he is someone you shouldn't mess with; you might be provoking a Bodhisattva or Buddha.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, there are occasional solo travelers within the Buddhist community, such as the Arhat Subduing Tiger who fought against the Pure Yang Sword Immortal. Of course, such cases are extremely rare.

This young man in white looked quite young, yet he was accompanied by several Buddhist guardian deities and powerful gods, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

At this moment, the dragon horse stopped, and the white-clad youth on its back looked down at the city and asked, "Where are we?"

A monk beside him glanced down and said, "Replying to the Buddha, below is the territory of the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory. We have arrived at the Jade Heaven Kingdom."

The young man in white nodded: "We've arrived in the Jade Heaven Kingdom, a territory under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. That's good. I've heard that more than a dozen new generation immortals with exceptional strength have recently emerged in the Heavenly Court. Let's settle down here."

The white-robed youth saw the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall of the Buddhist sect below. Although this was a territory under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect also had a presence in the Jade Heaven Kingdom.

The dragon horse was brought to a stop, and Garan Jiedi and the white-clad youth riding the dragon horse descended together.

Within the Jade Heaven Kingdom, a white-robed youth from the Western Buddhist sect descended upon the entrance of the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall. Lu Yuan and the others were astonished to see that the previously domineering and hot-tempered Vajra was now meek and submissive, his attitude immediately becoming humble upon seeing the white-robed youth's arrival.

It seems this young man in white is indeed a great figure in Buddhism, as even Vajra, who holds a high position in Buddhism, shows him such respect and personally greets him.

Escorted by Vajra and accompanied by Garan Jiedi, the white-robed youth entered the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall. The dragon horse was led away by a special person, and the white-robed youth specifically instructed that it should be fed with dragon grass.

Dragon grass is a precious herb in the immortal realm, used to refine thirteenth-grade pills. It's incredibly extravagant that such a horse needs to be fed with dragon grass.

Lu Yuan looked at the dragon horse. It seemed ordinary, but it had pure dragon blood in its body. It was actually a real dragon transformed. The Buddhist sect's foundation was indeed profound. They had actually converted a real dragon into a dragon horse as a mount.

King Golden Horn said from the side, "I heard that the Buddhist sect has a Dragon Transformation Pool, which can help all the water beasts in the world purify their bloodline, and can lead the dragons to transform into dragons, and can also make the bloodline of true dragons advance further. Even within the dragon clan, there are some people who are close to the Buddhist sect. It is not surprising that the people of the Buddhist sect have dragons as their mounts."

This white-robed youth was clearly a big shot. It wouldn't be difficult for him to transform into a dragon horse as a mount, since only by following a big shot could one have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. In the eyes of the immortals, the status of a true dragon was not particularly high.

Lu Yuan said, "Let's go."

Now that we've seen the excitement here, it's time to get down to business.

Lu Yuan and the others left and eventually entered the Flying Immortal Pavilion opened by the Heavenly Court.

The Flying Immortal Pavilion was opened by the Heavenly Court, and its goods are all-encompassing, from top-notch cultivation techniques to items used for foundation building and elixir formation, it has everything.

Moreover, the prices are relatively fair compared to other major exchanges, especially compared to the Buddhist Wan Jin Buddhist Hall, which is much cheaper.

The Heavenly Court's business is large and representative, and Lu Yuan can investigate the most authentic market here.

Upon entering the Heavenly Court's exchange, one finds it bustling with all sorts of people.

A powerful human immortal, a demonic cultivator wearing a mask to stealthily conceal his aura, and various demon immortals with dog heads, deer heads, sheep heads, and tiger heads on their heads.

There are also celestial beings who exude pure immortal energy, carry swords at their waists, and roam freely in the mortal realm.

The exchange is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and the Heavenly Court is quite tolerant, allowing even demon immortals and demonic cultivators to enter.

King Jinjiao told Lu Yuan that powerful forces are capricious in their business dealings, and some of them exclude other cultivators. For example, the Chan Sect considers itself the orthodox sect of the Xuanmen (mysterious sects) of heaven and earth. Even within the Chan Sect, its members compete with each other in terms of status and background, not to mention their behavior towards outsiders.

The Tianbao Pavilion, opened by the Chan Sect, directly restricts all demonic cultivators below the level of Taiyi Xuanxian (with hair and horns) from entering, and they no longer even bother with any pretense.

The Heavenly Court is considered relatively good; at least it treats everyone equally, which is why it is widely praised in the celestial realm.

Lu Yuan and his group entered without anyone paying them any attention.

Lu Yuan then led Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Golden Horn King, and the others to stroll around the Flying Immortal Pavilion in the Heavenly Court. "Senior, are you here to buy some materials? I can help you with some."

Lu Yuan and his companions had only been strolling around for a short while when a fairy approached them. She was extremely beautiful and exuded the aura of moonlight.

King Jinjiao transmitted his voice: "This is a sales guide trained by the Heavenly Court, the fairy Chang'e from the Moon Palace. She is very professional."

Lu Yuan understood.

As expected of the Heavenly Court, they have so many professional talents.

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "This is our first time here. Please introduce us to the place."

The Chang'e sales guide immediately began her introduction.

The Heavenly Court's Flying Immortal Pavilion is divided into four ranks, from the first rank to the fourth rank, each with a different scale.

The rank of the Flying Immortal Pavilion varies from place to place. Small places usually have fourth-rank Flying Immortal Pavilions, while large cities have first-rank or second-rank Flying Immortal Pavilions.

Generally speaking, the fourth-rank Flying Immortal Pavilion is the smallest, with only four floors, and the items sold are at most supplied to True Immortals.

The First-Class Flying Immortal Pavilion is the largest, with ten floors, the highest of which can be used by Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Jade Heaven Kingdom is a great immortal kingdom in the Eastern Divine Continent, so this Flying Immortal Pavilion is a first-class Flying Immortal Pavilion with ten floors. The lower floors are where cultivators below the Immortal Realm can buy things.

The floors above the fifth floor are for sales of items from the Immortal Realm and above.

Chang'e led Lu Yuan and the others directly to the sixth floor and said, "You are all highly cultivated, all of you being True Immortals, Taiyi True Immortals, and Xuan Immortals. You may take a look around here."

This Chang'e only came to receive Lu Yuan and his companions because she saw that their cultivation levels were quite high.

After all, Chang'e was a first-level saleswoman at the First-Class Flying Immortal Pavilion. The number of Chang'e cultivated by the Guanghan Palace each year was limited, and a first-level saleswoman would not serve cultivators below the Immortal Realm. She saw that Lu Yuan was a Xuan Immortal, so she brought them up, thinking that these people must be big customers.

Lu Yuan then went to the seventh floor to take a look.

The Flying Immortal Pavilion is extremely large, with its interior forming a world of its own. Of course, this is nothing more than a minor trick for the Heavenly Court. The sixth floor sells items that are at least at the True Immortal level.

It contains magical treasures, cultivation techniques, secret arts, golden pills, puppets, formations, exotic treasures, and exotic beasts.

Lu Yuan even saw celestial generals escorting succubi past, as well as people from various strange races passing by, both men and women, all bound by the Immortal Binding Rope.

It also broadened Lu Yuan's horizons.

Can this even be bought and sold?
Chang'e said, "Among these people, some are wanted criminals who committed heinous crimes in the mortal world and were wanted and arrested by the Heavenly Court; others are people who owed huge debts to the Heavenly Court and were unable to repay them, so they were captured and sold into servitude to pay off their debts."

"Debt?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Chang'e felt something was strange. This Xuanxian was not low in realm, so why did he seem to know so little about the immortal realm?
However, the customer is always right, and since God asked, Chang'e replied, "The Heavenly Court launched angel investment many years ago, allowing all cultivators from the four continents to enter the angel round for financing to cultivate immortality."

It's essentially a venture capital project by the Heavenly Court for all cultivators across the Four Continents. The Heavenly Court will assess your talent and potential and issue you a loan to help you become an immortal.

However, this investment needs to be repaid. There are two ways to repay it. The first way is that you need to break through to a certain level within a specified time, which will automatically offset part of the regular loan required.

The second option is to repay the money within a specified period after achieving success in the cultivation process…

Lu Yuan understood. Wasn't this just Alipay's Huabei and microloans?
There are two ways to repay the debt by borrowing resources from the Heavenly Court for cultivation. The first is to gamble with the Heavenly Court. As long as you reach a certain level within a specified time, you don't have to repay the money.

The second option is to repay the loan normally, paying back the exact amount borrowed, but within a specified timeframe. After all, Heaven is not a charity; they need to recover funds within a set time.

These all appear to be cases of failed bets and inability to repay debts, leaving them with no choice but to sell themselves to pay off their debts.

Lu Yuan saw that there were quite a few very good-looking ones among them, both male and female immortals, with beautiful appearances, but unfortunately they owed too much money and could only become slaves.

But these things are none of Lu Yuan's business. They are all adults and have to pay the price for their choices.

Lu Yuan continued looking around at Feixian Tower, and after looking around several times, his eyes were almost tired from looking at it.

As expected of an exchange backed by the Heavenly Court, it truly has a plethora of treasures, including many magical artifacts and rare gems that have captured Lu Yuan's heart.

However, the price is extremely expensive and terrifying. Although Lu Yuan could afford it, there was no need for him to buy it.

After looking around, Lu Yuan asked the key questions.

"Does Feixian Tower not sell Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid?"

Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, was taken aback: "Mysterious Immortal Five Qi Liquid? Do you want that?"

Lu Yuan asked, "What? Is it possible that the Mysterious Immortal Five Qi Liquid can't be sold on the sixth floor?"

He was startled. Had he made a mistake? Was the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid worthless?

Chang'e quickly explained, "No, no, no, that's not it. Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid is an extremely precious man-made treasure. However, even the Flying Immortal Pavilion has very few in stock, and the price is extremely high, so it is not available for sale."

"Extremely expensive!"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

His main purpose in coming to Feixian Tower was to inquire about the value of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, and he planned to use this as an opportunity to break through the blockade of various forces.

After all, Lu Yuan's Five Organs Furnace could refine the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid extremely quickly. When he saw that the Flying Immortal Pavilion didn't sell Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, he thought it wasn't worth much.

Hearing Chang'e say this, Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy.

Chang'e added, "Although this thing is a man-made treasure, it requires at least one Xuanxian cultivator to spend a lot of time refining the Five Qi Spirit Liquid using their own Five Internal Organs Furnace. The efficiency is extremely low, and almost no Xuanxian is willing to do this unless they are particularly short of money, otherwise it is basically impossible."

It requires the manpower of top-tier immortals, but the manpower of Xuanxian is too expensive. Moreover, the five qi extracted by the Five Organs Furnace is so abundant that even Xuanxian himself would find it insufficient. Who would bother to extract five qi liquid to sell?
Even if he occasionally refined some himself, he would give it to his beloved disciples and rarely let it circulate for sale.

Lu Yuan understood; so that's what happened.

He almost thought the thing was worthless.

Chang'e said, "The Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid is extremely valuable and has always been sought after by our Feixian Tower. Because so many people want it, it's basically sold off as soon as we get our hands on it. How much does Senior want? I'll have to go to the warehouse to inquire. Buying this stuff depends on luck."

You can only buy them when you're lucky and there's a rare supply; normally, they're always in high demand and short supply. (End of Chapter)
