What I teach you is real stuff.

The elders of the Flying Immortal Pavilion naturally dared not disobey the red-robed pavilion master's words, and they all humbly agreed.

However, they then asked another question: since the other party had so much Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, should they investigate the origin of the other party and explore the amount of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid they possessed?

The Five Qi Liquid of the Mysterious Immortal is a lucrative business. Earning the middleman's price is already a highly profitable venture. If they could control this business themselves, they would only earn even more.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the other party is indeed a group of insignificant people who have stumbled upon this opportunity, they can seize it and reap huge profits.

The red-robed man pondered for a moment.

He had wanted to investigate the origins of the Golden Horned King last time, but the interests involved were too small, so he ultimately did not delve into it in depth, as it would not be worth the risk.

But this time it was different. This time the other party took out a lot of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid. Buying it and then snatching it back was an unjust act, and it would damage the reputation of the Heavenly Court if word got out.

However, if the interests involved exceed a certain amount, then reputation becomes irrelevant; if things can be done cleanly, the profits will be immense.

If he could snatch the entire business from the other party, the higher-ups in Heaven would definitely promote him greatly. Whether or not to investigate was now entirely up to him.

However, the red-robed landlord also had his own concerns. If the other party really had a powerful background, then their investigation would inevitably alert them.

Who knows what will happen then? If things go wrong, Feixianlou might end up with nothing, and the deal they just finalized could be canceled out.

After all, when it comes to doing business, nobody wants to be investigated by the other party, and nobody wants to do business with someone who has designs on them.

The red-robed man hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "Let's leave it at that. Some opportunities are not for us to pry into. Since the other party dared to bring out so many goods, unless they are a fool, they must not be afraid of being investigated."

These powerful beings in the celestial realm are all as cunning as monkeys.

Everyone understands the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If someone dares to openly bring so many things to Feixianlou to sell, it means that the other party is absolutely fearless and unafraid of investigation.

Such an opportunity is beyond their reach, so it's best for them to mind their own business.

On the other hand, the red-robed master also had his own ideas. He had been the master of the Flying Immortal Pavilion for some time, and for thousands of years he had been in a state of merit without any faults.

He had already asked someone to sound out the Heavenly Court's higher-ups, and they were very satisfied with him. They also said that he would be promoted soon.

At this critical juncture, there's no need to risk investigating someone whose background is unknown. He doesn't lack these political achievements, and if things go wrong, there's a possibility of him capsizing in a ditch.

Hearing what the red-robed lord said, the elders under his command could only sigh and accept their fate.

Since the original poster said there was no need to investigate, they had no choice but to give up.

……

After leaving the Flying Immortal Tower, Xiao Huang and Jin Jiao Wang looked back and found that there was no movement inside the tower.

Xiao Huang and Jinjiao Wang exchanged a glance and said, "The Flying Immortal Pavilion is indeed quite sophisticated in its business practices. They are not tempted by such huge profits. It seems they have found the right path."

King Golden Horn nodded: "Yes, that red-robed lord is indeed a remarkable figure."

They had initially thought that Feixianlou would send people to seize the immortal crystals or conduct a background investigation after the transaction, but to their surprise, there was no movement at all.

Since Feixianlou was particular about its methods, they had nothing more to say and simply returned the way they came, informing their teacher of the route.

……

On the other side, at the Chan Sect, the Lingbao Pavilion.

Today we have a distinguished guest. The stewards of Lingbao Pavilion had made preparations in advance, saying that a core disciple from the missionary community would be visiting soon.

Before long, the Lotus Prince descended from the sky, riding on a lotus flower.

Inside the Lingbao Pavilion, a disciple couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is this our core disciple of the Chan Sect? Who is this? He doesn't seem to have much cultivation or foundation."

Upon hearing this, one of the stewards rebuked him telepathically: "Don't speak recklessly. This is the Lotus Prince, a core disciple of the lineage of Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. The lotus he stands on is a symbol of his legitimate identity. How could it be fake?"

The Taiyi lineage of the Chan sect takes the lotus as its orthodox symbol. Most of the disciples and descendants of Taiyi Zhenren are associated with the lotus. The most famous among them is Nezha, a third-generation disciple of the Chan sect, who is a lotus incarnation with three heads and six arms.

This Lotus Prince is naturally far inferior to Nezha, but he has connections. He is a legitimate descendant of the Taiyi Zhenren lineage. So what if his strength and background are lacking? With his background and status standing there, who can argue with him?

The disciples of Lingbao Pavilion fell silent instantly; no one dared to speak.

The Lotus Prince descended upon this place and toured the Lingbao Pavilion. He met the Pavilion Master of the Lingbao Pavilion of the Jade Heaven Kingdom, who was a guest elder within the Chan Sect.

Although his cultivation level was at the peak of Taiyi Xuanxian, which was a whole realm higher than that of Lotus Prince, he knew in his heart that he was ultimately not a core member of the Chan Sect.

However, the Lotus Prince's background and status are different. He is higher than him in the Chan Sect. Most importantly, the Lotus Prince can speak with many core elders in the Chan Sect and can even communicate with the patriarchs of the Chan Sect.

This comparison clearly reveals the difference in their status. Although he is the Pavilion Master, he is still very respectful to the Lotus Prince.

These core disciples of the Chan Sect never come to the Lingbao Pavilion unless there's a reason. The fact that someone like the Lotus Prince came here specifically must mean he has something to say, and he might even be conveying the message from the Chan Sect's higher-ups.

The head of Lingbao Pavilion led the Lotus Prince into his office and asked him questions.

"Junior Brother Lotus, what brings you to my Lingbao Pavilion as a guest? Could it be that the elders of the Chan Sect have given you some instructions?"

The Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion had heard some rumors during this time, including that many Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals in most of the Immortal Realm had gone into seclusion, and there were also movements within the Chan Sect.

Furthermore, given that Prince Lotus made a special trip here at this critical juncture, he couldn't help but connect the two. Could it be that there were some instructions from above?
The Lotus Prince smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't pry into the affairs of the higher-ups and elders. Knowing too much won't do either of us any good. I've come here today because I need your help with something."

The Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion quickly said, "Junior Brother Lotus is too kind. We are all family. If there is anything, it is just a matter of asking. There is no need to ask for help."

The Lotus Prince nodded and said, "I have some things that I want to consign here for sale. All proceeds from the consignment will be handed over to me and will not go through the Lingbao Pavilion's account." The Lotus Prince took out the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid and showed it to the Lingbao Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion felt a slight stirring in his heart upon seeing the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid.

This thing is valuable, and there's no worry about finding a market for it, but the question is, is it worth it for this Lotus Prince to make a personal trip for such a small amount of stuff?

The Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion asked, "Junior Brother Lotus, is it really worth it for you to make this trip in person for such a small amount of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid?"

The Lotus Prince said, "Of course it's not just this little bit. As I said, it's a long-term business. I will send you a batch every now and then. This matter concerns my master's secrets, so you must keep your mouth shut and not say that I put these things here on consignment."

Furthermore, as I just mentioned, the immortal crystals obtained from this item will not go through the Lingbao Pavilion or the Chan Sect's accounts, but will be settled directly with me. Is that acceptable?

The Lotus Prince didn't say much, only that the matter should be handled, leaving the rest to the Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion to figure out for himself.

Sure enough, the more secretive and unwilling to reveal more about the Lotus Prince's actions, the more imaginative the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion became.

Seeing that Prince Lotus was unwilling to say a word, he couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from this, it seems that some patriarch of the Chan Sect sent Prince Lotus to do something for him, and this Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid should not have been taken out by Prince Lotus himself.

After all, although this thing is valuable, it would take too much time to make it yourself. Disciples of the Chan Sect would not do such a thankless task, especially core disciples of the Chan Sect like the Lotus Prince who have a certain status.

They themselves don't lack immortal crystals; the normal cultivation needs are provided internally by the Chan Sect, so there's no need for them to sell this Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid to the outside world.

Moreover, the Lotus Prince just said that he would sell it in large quantities in the future. It is likely that a certain patriarch of the Chan Sect has obtained a new method to quickly produce Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid. Instead of handing it over to the Chan Sect, he created it himself to make extra money.

This is why Prince Lotus said he wouldn't use the Chan Sect and Lingbao accounts; he probably wanted to expand his personal account.

No wonder Prince Lotus came here in person; it turns out it was for this matter. However, this matter is indeed confidential and requires a trusted confidant to handle it.

But frankly speaking, this matter is also a matter for the high-ranking elders and ancestors within the Chan Sect. He is just a minor Pavilion Master of the Lingbao Pavilion, so how could he care about the affairs of these high-ranking elders and ancestors? In any case, as long as it is something that Crown Prince Lotus orders, he will do it.

The Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion asked Prince Lotus, "Junior Brother Lotus, what price do you think would be appropriate for purchasing this Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid?"

Prince Lotus glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

The normal price for Lingbao Pavilion to buy Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid is the same as that for Feixian Tower, which is 9 Immortal Crystals. They resell it for 10 Immortal Crystals, making a net profit of 1 Immortal Crystal.

But this business was brought in by the Lotus Prince, and it may involve the higher-ups of the Chan Sect. Who would dare to profit from it?
The question asked by the Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion is unnecessary. Do you want to snatch food from the Ancestor's mouth and make a profit from the difference?
Lingbao Pavilion is essentially a business run by the Chan Sect. They don't have to worry about selling Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, so they don't need to waste resources on external promotion. Therefore, they sell at the same price they buy, with no middlemen making a profit.

The head of Lingbao Pavilion immediately said he understood.

Buy 10 Immortal Crystals, sell 10 Immortal Crystals, and give all the earned Immortal Crystals to Prince Lotus.

Upon hearing this, the Lotus Prince was satisfied and handed over all the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid in his hand to him, then exchanged it for Immortal Crystals and left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

After the Lotus Prince left, the Pavilion Master of Lingbao Pavilion couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that some patriarch of the Chan Sect had obtained a large quantity of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid and wanted to expand his wealth.

However, all he needs to do is sell the goods, which might be an opportunity for him. If he does well, he might even be noticed by the patriarch of the Lotus Prince's lineage and become highly valued.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the Lotus Prince weighed the immortal crystals in his storage bag.

He thought to himself that he was indeed doing things for someone else, but he hadn’t said for anyone in particular. However, Senior Lu’s business was indeed easy to do. He had made tens of thousands of immortal crystals in such a short time. The speed at which he made money was even more terrifying than the business of the Chan Sect.

After finishing his business, Prince Lotus went back to report.

……

At Hualong Tower, several elders of the Alchemist Alliance met with some old friends from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

The old masters of the Alchemist Alliance have been around in the Immortal Realm for many years. Although they don't have much of a background, they have a lot of connections and know many people.

Little Yellow and Golden Horn King went to the Heavenly Palace's Flying Immortal Pavilion.

The Lotus Prince went to the Lingbao Pavilion of the Chan Sect.

Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei, and others went to the Buddhist Wanjin Temple.

The alchemist alliance's elders then set their sights on the business of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

The Myriad Immortals Sect is an alliance of scattered immortals from the four continents of the Immortal Realm. It is composed of several Taiyi Golden Immortals from the local area and specifically recruits local immortals as well as immortals who have ascended to the sect without any background.

It's somewhat similar to the Northern Continent Alliance in the lower realm, but it's definitely stronger than the Northern Continent Alliance. After all, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect has several Taiyi Golden Immortals and no less than ten Golden Immortals and Taiyi Profound Immortals.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect truly has tens of thousands of immortals. Although its overall strength is not as great as the top sects in the immortal realm, it still possesses considerable power and resources.

The alchemist alliance's patriarchs knew them because the Wanxian Sect had contacted them shortly after their ascension. Although these patriarchs of the alchemist alliance were not very strong, they were quite skilled in alchemy.

The Myriad Immortals Sect wanted to recruit them, but the Alchemist Alliance's patriarch refused, because they knew very well that the Myriad Immortals Sect only valued their alchemy skills.

Although they are presented as guest elders, in reality, after joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, they will most likely be used as tools, and it is not impossible that they will be imprisoned and used for alchemy.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect outwardly claims to be working for the well-being of all wandering immortals and to gain a powerful background, but in reality, these people are not as upright as they appear.

In contrast, the elders of the Alchemist Alliance were still willing to trust Senior Lu. Although Senior Lu was a bit too capitalist in business, at least his integrity and treatment of his subordinates and disciples were impeccable.

The purpose of this meeting with the Wanxian Sect was to discuss the business of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid. (End of Chapter)
