Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 833 Discussion in the Qiankun Palace
Zhenyue Zhenjun smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"It's just a small favor, fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry about it."

"By the way, did your tamed beast come to Central Continent with you? Did you leave it outside?"

He felt that the Five-Colored Deer must have contributed a lot in the battle with Kong Wen, and he wanted to see what the transformed demon looked like now.

Ji An shook his head. "I left the Five-Colored Deer in Xizhou. After I left, he will be the most powerful spirit farmer in the sect, and there are many things that need to be done by him."

The two Zhenyue Zhenjun looked at each other in disbelief. A transformed great demon willingly becoming a spirit farmer? Are you sure you're not mistaken?

Huayin Zhenjun asked:

"Fellow Daoist, what level is the Five-Colored Deer's cultivation at now?"

"After the Five-Colored Deer took human form, I named him 'True Lord of the Five Sacred Mountains.' If we meet again in the future, please address him in this way as a sign of respect."

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords have been somewhat lax in their cultivation over the years, only recently breaking through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhenyue Zhenjun wore a strange expression and replied:

"If the Five Sacred Mountains True Monarch had continued doing the work of a spiritual farmer, it wouldn't have been slow for him to break through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

How is Li Haoran doing? Will I have to address him as 'True Lord Haoran' next time we meet?

Ji An smiled and nodded, "Yes, Hao Ran is also at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

He had no predecessors to draw upon, and relied entirely on his own exploration, so his progress was quite rapid.

"After a period of consolidation within the sect, one's accumulated knowledge and skills should allow for a rapid and significant improvement when venturing out into the world."

The group chatted happily, and before they knew it, the sun was setting, and a crimson haze appeared above the cave.

Zhenyue Zhenjun stood up and said:

“Fellow Daoist, I will give you the Luanpeng Pavilion. It is a place for entertaining distinguished guests and is generally only used to receive Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”

The night was still, and the moon was silent.

Ji An stood by the window of the attic, gazing up at the crescent moon.

His gaze was unfocused; the serene moonlight seemed to have vanished from his sight as he pondered the likelihood of success.

The formulas for pills are extremely important, as they allow for the continuous production of elixirs.

But it's not that important either, because even if you have the recipe, you still need to gather enough medicinal herbs to refine it.

The Taixu Sect can avoid both the spread of the pill formula and the Jinling Sect becoming a competitor in selling the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, as long as there are strict agreements.

Ji An was speculating what excuse the Taixu Sect would use to refuse. If they directly refused to sell the pill formulas, the only option would be to buy the pills.

He shook his head slightly and laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Why am I so anxious? Success is great, but failure is no loss. Why worry about nothing?"

He closed the window, picked up the magic array talisman on the table to activate the sealing array, and then sat cross-legged on the futon, immersing his mind in the Guanghan Palace to contemplate the details of the palace.

Although the spiritual veins here are of the fourth-grade low level, which is enough to support his cultivation, his cultivation would be too noisy, so it's better to keep a low profile.

After all, it was someone else's territory, and who knew what kind of unbelievable observation methods they might have, so he had no intention of entering the gourd world.

In the Qiankun Hall, moonlight streamed through the round caisson ceiling, casting a 'full moon' image on the smooth stone slabs of the hall.

Smoke curls from the bronze incense burners on the left and right sides of the main hall, carrying a faint fragrance.

Zhenyue Zhenjun explained Ji An's basic situation and demands, and recounted the killing of Kong Wen, while quietly awaiting the judgment of the other two Zhenjun.

Chongxu Zhenjun's eyebrows furrowed together. "When did such a powerful cultivator emerge in the Western Continent? He must be blessed with good fortune to inherit the Five Elements Sect's techniques and resources. He's destined to soar to great heights in the future."

He did not believe that the rumors were lies; he could simply send someone to the headquarters of the Yunhai Business Alliance to verify the truth with Ping Tianzhenjun.

True Monarch Wuchen shook his head and said:

"Why are you concerned about these things? The formula has been improved by generations of disciples to reach its current state, and it is absolutely impossible to trade it with outsiders."

He was a conservative person who believed that the sect's cultivation methods, pill formulas, and other secret techniques contained the hard work of countless people and should not be used to exchange for personal gain.

Huayin Zhenjun coughed lightly and retorted:
"Senior brother, you are mistaken. I think that as long as the price is high enough, the pill formula is not impossible to trade."

Keeping the elixir formula is just keeping a dead object; it can't create any value. Normally, we can only make a profit by selling the Phoenix Rebirth Elixir.

We will trade the pill formula and sign a strict agreement with the other party, stipulating that the pills cannot be traded to any other forces and can only be used by ourselves. In that way, the other sect will not threaten our monopoly on the Phoenix Nirvana Pill.

Sects like the Shenmu Sect and Taihua Sect possess pills with effects similar to the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, so keeping the formula to themselves is of little practical use.

If the Phoenix Nirvana Pill were the only pill that could increase the chances of forming a Nascent Soul, then the formula would never be sold. Unfortunately, it isn't, so its value isn't that great.

True Monarch Wuchen snorted coldly and stubbornly said:
"Junior sister is still young. You are selling your ancestors' land without a care in the world. How can the hard work of our ancestors be handed over to others?"
"If we sell pill formulas today, will we sell weapon-refining blueprints tomorrow, and cultivation techniques the day after?"

Huayin Zhenjun slapped his forehead helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Senior brother, let's not make such meaningless assumptions, okay? What you said has no basis whatsoever."

She knew that this senior brother was stubborn and inflexible when it came to upholding tradition, and it would be difficult to reason with him. Now it depended on what Senior Brother Chongxu thought. If Senior Brother Chongxu agreed, then there was a 70% chance that the resolution would pass.

Wuchen Zhenjun curled his lips, "Once you start doing some things, you won't have any psychological burden to do them again, and you'll only get worse."

Huayin Zhenjun was speechless and looked to Chongxu Zhenjun for help.

She couldn't let her Daoist partner directly express his support, because that would only make him more unhappy.

Chongxu Zhenjun coughed twice in a mock manner and asked:
"Junior brother, what do you think about this matter?"

In fact, he didn't feel much psychological burden in selling the formula because it wasn't irreplaceable.

However, he would not easily sell the pill formulas. As his junior brother Wuchen said, these inherited secret techniques were not easy to accumulate and could not be easily sold.

Zhenyue Zhenjun pondered for a moment and said:
"Let me talk about something beyond the transaction. I met True Monarch Xuanqing in the Misty Mountains. At that time, he was traveling in the Central Continent and was summoned to the Black Wind Ridge Fortress."

When we met, I was at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, nearing completion, while he was merely a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Chongxu Zhenjun's eyes brightened slightly, and he sat up a little straighter.

The usually indifferent True Monarch Wuchen perked up his ears. A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator still has a long way to go before reaching the ninth level of Golden Core perfection. It took him more than ninety years to go from breaking through to the Golden Core stage to reaching the ninth level of Golden Core perfection.

"I witnessed the skills of True Lord Xuanqing in a battle, and later learned that he was actually an alchemist who possessed the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame."

My junior sister needed this kind of Yang-attribute spiritual fire for alchemy at the time, so we developed a relatively deep friendship.

His alchemy skills were then demonstrated, and he later commissioned the other party to refine the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, a matter that both of his senior brothers knew about.

Hua Yin looked at her cousin, a sweet smile on her face.

Zhenyue Zhenjun also looked at his cousin at this moment, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but smile and continued:
"At that time, I learned that the True Lord Xuanqing had cultivated the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture, and that he followed the path of 'Five Elements Reincarnation, All Laws Return to One'."

Later, he entered the ruins of the Five Elements Sect. That time, he should have obtained the inheritance and resources of the Five Elements Sect, so he chose to leave the Central Continent.

What I can confirm is that when we met a few years before he left, his cultivation level had still not broken through to the late Golden Core stage.

Chongxu Zhenjun knew what "the five elements revolve and all laws return to one" meant to the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, and his body unconsciously leaned forward.

Zhenyue Zhenjun sighed inwardly and continued:
"After the True Demon Tribulation ended, we took a liking to Li Haoran and wanted to invite him to join our sect, which led to our trip to the Western Continent."

When I met Xuanqing Zhenjun again, his cultivation level was already comparable to mine at that time, both of us were at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the spiritual veins of the Golden Spirit Sect had reached the fourth-grade lower level.

His tamed beast is triggering a tribulation of transformation; the tamed beast is the Five-Colored Deer, a wondrous creature of heaven and earth.

The five-colored deer succeeded and became a powerful demon in human form.

"When we met yesterday, True Monarch Xuanqing was already a Nascent Soul Level 6 cultivator. In just a few decades, he broke through three minor realms in succession."

I learned from him that Li Haoran had also broken through to the Nascent Soul level, and was now a sword cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

By the way, True Monarch Xuanqing's tamed beast, the Five-Colored Deer, has also reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. He didn't bring this transformed great demon with him this time to Central Continent.

He paused, then concluded:
"Whether we admit it or not, the Western Continent has gained another Nascent Soul sect with immense potential, possessing the potential to become a top-tier sect."

Judging from the victory in killing the monk Kongwen, as long as True Monarch Xuanqing breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the Golden Spirit Sect will already have the aura of a top-tier sect.

Therefore, I prefer to make it a deal, do someone a favor, and allow the two sects to engage in deeper cooperation.

Huayin Zhenjun took out two fist-sized white porcelain jars and said:

“True Lord Xuanqing gave us some tea leaves, and we also let our two senior brothers try some.”

The lightning-struck tea tree, a mid-grade fourth-tier Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea, I believe the Golden Spirit Sect somehow managed to cultivate a mid-grade fourth-tier tea tree.

My cousin and I were guests at the Daoist temple of True Lord Xuanqing, and we felt a strong divine intent of the Five Elements. He was also a top-level spiritual farmer at the Nascent Soul level.

I'm about 80% sure that this is the tea tree he cultivated.

"If we establish a relationship with the Golden Spirit Sect through alchemy transactions, we will have other channels to obtain high-level resources, instead of having to rely on the Divine Wood Sect."

The hall fell silent as everyone engaged in deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, True Monarch Chongxu said in a deep voice:
"Junior brothers and sisters, you have known True Monarch Xuanqing for many years. What are your impressions of him? What is his character like?"

"He has kept all the promises he made; he is very reliable."

Chongxu Zhenjun looked to the other side and said, "I will go to the headquarters of Yunhai Business Alliance to communicate with Pingtian Zhenjun. If Kongwen's information is true, I agree to trade the pill formula."

"Junior Brother Wuchen, what do you think?"

"If the Golden Spirit Sect can guarantee a long-term and stable transaction of fourth-tier resources, then we can have a proper discussion."
