What I teach you is real stuff.

At Hualong Tower, the patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance and members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect are talking.

The group that came this time consisted of an elder and two hall masters from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. All three of them had considerable cultivation and were acquaintances of the alchemist alliance's patriarch.

They received a message from the alchemist patriarch that there was a business deal to be done in cooperation with the Myriad Immortals Sect, and the Myriad Immortals Sect was required to send at least one representative. So another elder with a cultivation level of Profound Immortal realm came.

Although this elder was not a particularly important figure within the Wanxian Sect, his very presence was a sign of his importance, and the Wanxian Sect still valued this negotiation.

After all, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect has been struggling to survive under the pressure of various forces in the Immortal Realm over the years, and they are looking for a way out, so they attach great importance to every business deal.

Inside the Dragon Transformation Tower, after a brief reminiscing, the elders of the Alchemist Alliance and the members of the Myriad Immortals Sect got down to business.

Several members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect inquired about the current whereabouts of the elders of the Alchemist Alliance and what kind of business they had brought them.
The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance smiled slightly and said, "We have now joined the Great Luo Immortal Sect. The mission we have come here for is given to us by the sect leader. Fellow Daoists, you should all know about the Profound Immortal Five Qi Liquid, right?"

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance briefly explained the resources they possessed.

Lu Yuan had said before he came that this time the business would be done openly, so there was no need for Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid to deliberately hide anything.

The alchemist alliance patriarch simply stated that they possessed a large quantity of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid and needed to find a partner to sell it; it remained to be seen whether the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect could acquire it.

The elders and several hall masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect exchanged glances and demanded to inspect the goods.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance was quite straightforward, simply taking out the items for them to examine.

After a brief inspection, several members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect showed great joy.

It was indeed the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, and of very high quality. A single drop of this Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid could bring them great benefits.

The two biggest problems facing the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect right now are: first, a lack of top-tier power, and second, a shortage of mid-level power.

In comparison, there are enough low-level immortals. Otherwise, the Outer Mind Sect would not have been able to gain a foothold in the immortal realm. The immortal realm still needs a sect that can accommodate wandering immortals.

The Myriad Immortals Sect indeed needed such Profound Immortal Five Qi Liquid to enhance their mid-level strength. Greed gleamed in the eyes of these old fellows, especially one of the elders, who asked the alchemist alliance patriarchs, "I wonder what price your sect leader is willing to offer for these Profound Immortal Five Qi Liquids?"

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance gave a price, which was at least 9.6 Immortal Crystals.

The elder of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect pondered for a moment and said, "We can't offer that much. You all know that our Ten Thousand Immortals Sect can't compare to those big powers. Besides, we're old acquaintances. Let's make it cheaper. We'll take it for 9 immortal crystals."

Upon hearing the price, the patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance knew that these guys weren't serious about doing business. They wanted to buy Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid in bulk for 9 Immortal Crystals, but you're offering it for 0 yuan?
It's important to know that 9 Immortal Crystals are only worth one drop in the recycling price. The reason the price is kept low is because the recycling party will definitely make more money from the retail price.

However, it's a pipe dream to buy such a large quantity of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid for 9 Immortal Crystals. In any major power's trading market, you can easily negotiate a price of 9.5.

The Alchemist Alliance Ancestor isn't stupid. He sold it to you for 9 Immortal Crystals, and you immediately resold it to others. You earn 0.5 Immortal Crystals for each drop of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, so 10000 drops would be 500 Immortal Crystals.

They're not here for charity; offering such a price shows they don't intend to negotiate properly.

What old acquaintance? There's no such thing as friendship in business.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance snorted coldly: "Since you fellow Daoists don't want to have a proper talk, then there's no need for us to continue. Farewell."

They took the goods and tried to leave, but were immediately suppressed by the Wanxian Sect members.

"Gentlemen, you think you can just come and go as you please? It's not that simple." The three from the Myriad Immortals Sect no longer concealed their greed as they blocked the path of the Alchemist Alliance's patriarch.

The alchemist alliance patriarch was taken aback: "What? You want to force us to stay if we want to leave? Don't forget, this is the Dragon Transformation Tower, the territory of the Heavenly Court. Do you dare to cause trouble here?"

The reason these alchemist alliance elders chose this place to discuss business was to guard against this tactic. They truly did not expect the Wanxian Sect to be so shameless, abandoning a perfectly good business deal and trying to get something for nothing.

However, this is the Dragon Transformation Pavilion, the territory of the Heavenly Court. No one is allowed to fight privately here, after all, the Heavenly Court is not so easy to offend.

No matter how domineering the Wanxian Sect is, they don't think these people would dare to make a move here. At worst, they'll send a telepathic message to Xiao Huang and the others to ask for help.

However, what these alchemist alliance elders didn't expect was that these three people from the Myriad Immortals Sect were even more domineering than they had imagined. A terrifying aura emanated directly from the leading elder of the Myriad Immortals Sect.

"The Dragon Transformation Pavilion is the territory of the Heavenly Court. We certainly dare not make a move here, but it will only take a few breaths to suppress you. I advise you to hand over the items, or you will suffer the consequences."

This elder of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is named Wu Hao.

Sensing the aura emanating from him, the elders of the Alchemist Alliance changed their expressions drastically; he was actually a Taiyi Xuanxian.

The realm he previously displayed was not Taiyi Xuanxian, but merely Xuanxian.

This guy has been hiding his strength; it seems he planned this all along.

A Taiyi Xuanxian personally arrived. Indeed, given the already weak strength of these alchemist alliance elders, it would be very easy for the other party to suppress them; it wouldn't take more than a few breaths.

They were so fast that they wouldn't even alert the Heavenly Court experts inside the Dragon Transformation Tower, so they acted with impunity.

The old patriarchs of the alchemist alliance said with icy expressions, "We are all respectable immortals, must we really make things so ugly? Doesn't your Ten Thousand Immortals Sect preach the unity of all wandering immortals under heaven? Is this how you conduct yourselves?"

Elder Wu Hao sneered: "That's just a slogan. If we don't shout slogans like that, how can we attract people to join my Ten Thousand Immortals Sect? You and I are both smart people, and smart people have their own way of speaking. You both know what's going on today."

"Hand over the Mysterious Immortal Five Qi Liquid you have now. A wise person knows when to yield. My patience is running out. If you don't hand it over soon, you might suffer some physical pain later."

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance also understood that he was no match for this Taiyi Xuanxian no matter what, and it seemed that he couldn't keep the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid.

Left with no other choice, they had to admit defeat and hand over the item: a full 2000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid.

Originally, I was hoping to close a deal with the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, but I didn't expect them to be so shameless as to take advantage of me for free.

Upon obtaining the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, Wu Hao examined the massive quantity and his face lit up with joy. Although this substance was of little use to him at the Taiyi Xuanxian realm, it was valuable; reselling it could yield a huge sum of immortal crystals.

Moreover, he obtained these Xuanxian Five Qi Liquids for free, without any cost to him. In other words, he would make a profit no matter how many he sold. He's made a fortune now.

Wu Hao put away the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, looked at the old ancestors of the Alchemist Alliance, and asked, "How much Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid does your Great Luo Immortal Sect still have?"

2000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid was already a huge fortune, but human nature is greedy, and Wu Hao was no exception.

Since we've already taken them all, what's a little more? Who would complain about having too many immortal crystals?

The Great Luo Immortal Sect they mentioned was something Wu Hao had never heard of before. It must be some small sect that had unexpectedly received a stroke of good fortune, something that such a small sect could not possibly digest.

Hearing Wu Hao's words, the alchemist alliance elders showed a strange expression. They already knew that Wu Hao was greedy, but they did not expect him to be this greedy.

2000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid were not enough; they actually wanted to seize more?

These old patriarchs of the alchemist alliance said, "You surnamed Wu, do you really not take my Great Luo Immortal Sect seriously? Do you think the Myriad Immortals Sect can protect you? Don't you think that if my Great Luo Immortal Sect really didn't have such strength, would we dare to put this thing out for sale?"

"When the sect leader of my Great Luo Immortal Sect comes knocking on the gates of your Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, you'll know what true methods are."

These old patriarchs of the Alchemist Alliance knew Lu Yuan's methods all too well. Alliance Leader Lu was not one to suffer losses. If the Myriad Immortals Sect stole his things today and Alliance Leader Lu found out, they would come knocking on his door tomorrow.

Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is powerful, they don't think Alliance Leader Lu will be afraid; Wu Hao is still too greedy.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "In the Immortal Realm, apart from those few top forces, my Myriad Immortals Sect has never been afraid of anyone. As for the so-called Great Luo Immortal Sect you mentioned, I have never heard of it. I hope that the sect leader you mentioned really has the strength you boast about."

However, whether they have the strength or not is irrelevant. I hold the initiative now; if I capture you, I'm not afraid they won't hand over the goods.

After saying that, Wu Hao reached out with one hand and grabbed all of the alchemist alliance elders.

With the Taiyi Xuanxian taking action, dealing with these few True Immortal level alchemist alliance elders who lacked practical combat ability was too easy; they were almost instantly killed and suppressed.

Just as Wu Hao said, he acted so fast that he captured them all without even alerting the powerful Heavenly Court beings inside the Dragon Transformation Tower.

After capturing these alchemist alliance elders, Wu Hao deliberately released one of them, sending him back to report that he should bring back Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid from the Wanxian Sect three days later to ransom the person, 1000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid per person.

The alchemist alliance elder who was sent back to report the news had a grim expression and left the Dragon Transformation Tower.

After he left, the two hall masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect were somewhat worried.

"Elder Wu, isn't this too risky? What if these old guys really have some powerful figures behind them?"

Wu Hao didn't care at all. He sneered, "Big shot? If there really were big shots, would these old guys have ended up like this in the Immortal Realm all these years? I have already investigated the backgrounds of these old guys thoroughly. What kind of people could a few alchemists who ascended from lower planes know in the Immortal Realm?"

Alchemists who rise through the ranks by consuming elixirs are destined to be used as tools in the Immortal Realm. My Ten Thousand Immortals Sect invited them long ago, but they were ungrateful. This is perfect opportunity; we'll capture them all and bring them back to refine elixirs exclusively for my Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

Before coming here, Wu Hao had already investigated the identity of the alchemist alliance's patriarch and knew that they came from the lower realm, although some cultivators in the lower realm did have backgrounds.

However, the problem with these alchemist alliance elders is that they have been in the Immortal Realm for too long, and they have only achieved very average status over such a long time, which speaks volumes.

If they truly had a powerful background, it would be impossible for them to remain hidden for so many years. They are simply using someone else's influence to their advantage.

And even if they do have some big shot behind them, how big could they be?

Even a Xuanxian or Taiyi Xuanxian would be useless.

Faced with the massive Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, even a Golden Immortal couldn't stir up any trouble, and in the end, he still had to obediently hand over the Five Qi Liquid of the Profound Immortal.

The Myriad Immortals Sect has now developed into the strongest second-rate force, second only to the top forces in the Immortal Realm. Wu Hao originally did not intend to swallow all the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquids in one gulp and hand them over to the Myriad Immortals Sect. With the Myriad Immortals Sect backing him up, what was there to fear from so-called big shots?
Upon hearing Wu Hao's words, the two hall masters immediately flattered him, saying, "Elder Wu is wise."

Wu Hao: "Well, everyone who sees these Xuanxian Five Qi Liquids today will get a share. These two portions are for you two. Your current cultivation level is only Taiyi True Immortal, so these Xuanxian Five Qi Liquids will be of great use to you."

Wu Hao gave two drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid to the two hall masters, seemingly generous, but actually extremely stingy.

Wu Hao had just obtained 2000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, and only managed to spare two drops. On the surface, the two hall masters were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude, but in reality, they had already cursed Wu Hao to the bone in their hearts.

That old man is too greedy; he'll be struck down by heaven and earth.

But on the surface, no one dared to turn against him, after all, he was a Taiyi Xuanxian, and the two Taiyi Zhenxian hall masters dared not be presumptuous.

Wu Hao naturally understood that the two hall masters would not be satisfied with just two drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, but he didn't care.

These are just two hall masters. That's how it is inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. Although they shout loud slogans, in reality, which of the higher-ups doesn't seek personal gain?
The longer you're in a high position, the more you understand that this world is a cannibalistic place, and only by cannibalizing others can you become a superior person.

Even compared to him, Wu Hao is considered to have a conscience, at least he still gave away two drops.

If it were someone else, someone with even more ruthless methods, they might have simply silenced those two hall masters, so that no one would know exactly how much Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid they had obtained this time.

Two drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid are worth 20 Immortal Crystals, and you're still not satisfied?

Wu Hao kept 1000 drops of Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid for himself, intending to hand over the remaining 998 drops to the Wanxian Sect.

This is also an unspoken rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect: when the higher-ups acquire something outside, everyone tacitly agrees to take half and hand over the other half, while on the surface everyone remains a united family.

There's no way around it; this is the unspoken rule set by the higher-ups. (End of Chapter)
