Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 406 The Real Person Makes a Move (Please Subscribe)

Three months later, Master Hanyu personally went to refine the Foundation Purification Pill.

This time, with prior guidance from Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi, Master Hanyu achieved good results in alchemy.

Three pills were successfully formed, all of which were of acceptable quality.

This relieved Shen Xuan.

He was truly afraid that if Master Hanyu made a mistake during the alchemy process, resulting in too few pills being produced, he would lose face.

Fortunately, Master Hanyu possessed profound spiritual power and precise techniques. With prior guidance from Li Ruyi and Shen Xuan, he finally achieved the desired effect.

The improved version of Jingji Dan has been successfully developed!
But before its official debut, it needs a suitable name.

The Pure Foundation Pill definitely won't work.

Its efficacy is only about a quarter of the original Jingji Dan, which is suspected of being a case of extortion.

It appears to be of poor quality and rough.

"How about we call it Cold Jade Pill?"

When Li Ruyi, Liu Bingyu, and Lü Zhengying heard Shen Xuan say this name, their expressions were initially taken aback.

Then they all shouted "Good!"

"Han Yu Dan, is that a good name?"

Master Hanyu had some doubts.

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan's tone was firm.

"The Cold Jade Pill originates from Cold Jade Peak and was personally developed by our master. As the name suggests, anyone who hears it will understand its origin!"

"This……"

Master Hanyu looked at Li Ruyi.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you think so too?"

Li Ruyi quickly smiled and said, "Master, Ruyi thinks Fellow Daoist Shen is right. Ruyi agrees."

“Master, Bingyu also thinks that ‘Hanyu Dan’ sounds nice.”

Liu Bingyu interjected.

"This disciple also thinks that the name Hanyu Dan is very good."

Lü Zhengying also expressed her approval.

To be honest, when Shen Xuan mentioned the name "Cold Jade Pill," True Person Cold Jade was indeed somewhat tempted.

To name a elixir after one's Taoist name is an extremely rare honor.

With the popularization of Hanyu Dan, Hanyu Zhenren and Hanyu Feng will surely become famous throughout the Song Kingdom and their names will be passed down for thousands of years.

However, Li Ruyi, who served as the technical advisor, played an indispensable role in the development of this elixir.

Master Hanyu needs to consult Li Ruyi's opinion.

As for Liu Bingyu and Lü Zhengying, they were purely tools.

Of the five-person core team that developed the elixir, four expressed their support.

Master Hanyu was still hesitating.

Shen Xuan solemnly said, "Master, this pill is called the Cold Jade Pill, which is a legitimate name and is just right to be used to deter villains."

Seeing the expressions of deep agreement on Li Ruyi, Liu Bingyu, and Lü Zhengying's faces, Master Hanyu finally realized what was going on.

“Shen Xuan’s words make sense.”

The newly developed Cold Jade Pill is cost-effective and involves huge profits, which will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many unscrupulous people.

Currently, only Master Hanyu, Shen Xuan, and Li Ruyi know the recipe.

If it weren't for Master Hanyu standing in front of them, sheltering them from the wind and rain...

The consequences are unpredictable.

After all, money can be very tempting.

The greater the potential profit, the more dangerous it becomes for Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi.

……

Before we knew it, winter was approaching.

The world was covered in a blanket of silver, with snowflakes fluttering down.

Lost Peak, Council Hall.

Brilliant streaks of light flew into it.

The annual Real Person Council meeting is about to begin.

Let's summarize this year's work and discuss next year's plans.

One of the most important aspects is resource supply.

Especially when the war between the Dao and the Demon is about to end, and the sect's seed cultivators are about to return to the sect to prepare for the formation of their cores.

The allocation plan for various high-level resources is of particular importance.

The incense burner emitted wisps of fragrant smoke, creating a refreshing and delightful atmosphere.

There are eighteen seats, five inside and thirteen outside, arranged neatly.

When the Mysterious Master entered, all seventeen other seats were already occupied.

"Senior Brother Yinxiang, fellow disciples, I apologize for being a little late."

"We just saw off Master Xuanji of the Xuantian Sect. The Xuantian Sect has discovered a brand new secret realm in Ganshui County."

A new secret realm!

All eyes turned to the Mysterious Master.

"According to the initial investigation by the Xuantian Sect, it is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there may be some Core Formation spiritual items inside."

"As is customary, after a few days, each sect will send out its elite disciples to go out and seek opportunities."

Upon hearing that it was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, many cultivators immediately lost interest.

"As usual, let's start with the Spirit Plant Hall. Each hall and peak can briefly talk about the situation this year and the plans for next year."

Master Changchun began to speak, recounting the situation regarding the spiritual plants of the Qingyun Sect.

The masters from each hall and peak then spoke in turn.

The situation is much the same as in previous years.

Their grades were slightly better.

After the Qingyun Sect installed the giant furnace for alchemy, its annual revenue increased by tens of millions of spirit stones, and the funds for each hall and peak became slightly more abundant.

During the war between the Dao and the Demon, the large-scale use of the Thunder Spirit Orb also enabled the Core Formation Seeds of the Azure Cloud Sect to reverse their decline and achieve good results in various prefectures and counties along the border.

"It seems everyone is doing well!"

After the seventeen masters gave brief speeches, the Lost Master smiled and said...

In fact, these details had already been inscribed on a secret jade slip before the meeting and presented to all the masters for review.

"Senior Brother Sect Master, is there only ten Transformation Pills left in this batch?"

Master Ziqi asked.

Immediately, all the True Immortals turned their gaze toward the Lost Immortal.

The Golden Elixir is a third-tier breakthrough elixir.

Its function is the same as that of the Foundation Building Pill.

For ordinary cultivators, this is indispensable when condensing their inner core.

Master Ziqi has a personal disciple who is ranked in the teens among the sect's seed cultivators for Core Formation.

If there are only ten Transformation Pills, it will be very difficult to obtain them.

Master Mizong laughed: "Junior Brother Changsheng, you tell us."

The Immortal of Longevity said unhurriedly, "I have spoken with the Herbalist of Lu State."

"This time, with the approval of the Supreme Elder, the sect has purchased six portions of ingredients for the Golden Elixir."

All the real people were somewhat surprised. Usually, it was four portions.

The atmosphere in the council hall was noticeably more relaxed.

"With six portions of medicinal herbs, and with Senior Brother Changsheng's mastery of alchemy, eighteen pills can be made."

"Eighteen? That means each peak has one!"

"That's good. I can finally give my old friend an explanation."

The Immortal of Longevity coughed.

"I will do my best to prepare six portions of ingredients for the Golden Elixir. How many elixirs are produced depends on their own fate."

After speaking, Changsheng Zhenren glanced at Hanyu Zhenren.

He said it lightly.

"This year, the sect has assigned the task of refining thirty Taiqing Pills. My disciples are dull-witted, and one of them was sent to the Yinsha Cave, where he only managed to refine twenty-one qualified pills."

Although the voice wasn't loud, the dissatisfaction in the tone was palpable.

The mysterious master had no choice but to speak.

“Junior Brother Changsheng, your disciple Zhao Shun falsely accused Shen Xuan of Hanyu Peak. The Enforcement Hall has sentenced him to thirty years of imprisonment in Yinsha Cave for the crime of false accusation.”

"Junior Brother Lingxiao told me about this matter. According to the sect's rules, it is just and fair, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Master Lingxiao nodded slightly.

"I personally made the judgment on this matter."

The gazes of the other True Immortals lingered on the three: Changsheng True Immortal, Mizong True Immortal, and Lingxiao True Immortal.

Master Lingxiao, who is in charge of the Enforcement Hall, has always been fair and impartial.

Cases involving direct instruction from a master would inevitably be reported to the Sect Master, the Master of Mysterious Tracks.

The cause and effect of the matter are there, and there is absolutely no possibility of overturning the verdict.

I don't know why the Immortal of Longevity brought this up.

The Immortal of Longevity said quietly, "I was busy refining elixirs and neglected to discipline him. Zhao Shun has only himself to blame."

"But since the sect has assigned the alchemy task, why is Senior Brother Tongxuan unwilling to provide even the auxiliary ingredients and spiritual herbs?"

Master Tongxuan was slightly taken aback.

The Immortal of Longevity has actually launched an attack against him!
He did the most work and took the most blame within the Qingyun Sect.

Fortunately, Lü Zhengying had informed him, so he was prepared.

"Junior Brother Changsheng has misunderstood. The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is fully cooperating in the matter of auxiliary materials and spiritual medicines, supplying them on time without the slightest negligence."

Changsheng Zhenren said to the city lord of Qingyun Immortal City, Guangwei Zhenren, "Junior Brother Guangwei, you know best about the spiritual herbs of Qingyun City."

Master Guangwei rose and bowed to the assembled masters with clasped hands.

"Six months ago, some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce and cultivation families made large-scale purchases of several second-grade mid-level spiritual herbs in Qingyun City."

Master Guangwei pointed out the names of the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce, Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, the Ding family, the Shangguan family, and the Tie family.

As for medicinal herbs, they include Spirit Jade Fruit, Moon Soul Flower, Wind-Stabilizing Grass, Cliff-Gazing Flower, Frost-Condensing Fruit, Wind-Welcoming Flower, and so on.

All of them are over 500 years old.

Master Changsheng said softly, "Junior Brother Guangwei, could you please tell me who these merchant guilds and families are in contact with? And where did these spiritual herbs ultimately end up?"

Master Guangwei sighed.

His eyes turned to Hanyu Zhenren.

"Junior Sister Hanyu?"

As soon as these words came out.

The eyes of the True Immortals turned to True Immortal Hanyu.

Many people were completely baffled.

Hanyu Zhenren and Gufeng Zhenren are among the few of the Eighteen Zhenren who do not hold any official positions.

In other words, both of these Jurchen people were idle individuals.

Master Gufeng is alright, as he comes from the prestigious Yang family, a powerful sect.

In recent years, there have been ways to make money, such as refining elixirs in giant furnaces and making Heavenly Thunder Pearls.

Master Hanyu was originally a rogue cultivator who joined a sect during the chaotic period of the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Song, and Liang.

It has no roots or foundation.

He stood out with his impressive ice magic skills.

He snatched the position of Core Formation seed from among the many aristocratic disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

During the great war between the Dao and the Demons, he relentlessly slaughtered demonic cultivators, earning him a top-ranking reputation for merit.

Only then was he granted the Golden Elixir, which allowed him to condense his inner core.

In the memory of all the masters in the sect.

Master Hanyu has a fiery temper, exceptional combat skills, and is skilled in crafting ice talismans.

He was indifferent to matters concerning the sect.

Why the sudden hoarding of elixirs?

"It was my disciple Shen Xuan who used his personal connections to purchase a large quantity of spiritual herbs."

"Can't you?"

Master Hanyu said calmly.

His gaze was icy as he looked at Guangwei Zhenren.

Master Guangwei did not reply. He clasped his hands in a salute, gave a wry smile, and sat down.

He had an expression that said it had nothing to do with me.

He had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the Immortal of Longevity and the Immortal of Cold Jade.

Staying out of it is the best solution.

At this point, the Master of Lost Traces had no choice but to step forward.

"Junior Sister Hanyu, why are you suddenly buying so many spiritual herbs? Could it be that you also want to cultivate the Dao of Alchemy?"

The Master of Lost Traces spoke with a smile on his face.

It's like a joke.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Zhang. As you said, Han Yu is currently cultivating the Dao of Alchemy."

Master Hanyu said with a stern face.

The air seemed to freeze.

This answer caught not only the mysterious master but also all the other masters present off guard.

Even the Hidden Manifestation True Man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Cold Jade True Man.

Reaching the level of a true person.

I devote most of my time and energy to spiritual practice.

The necessary cultivation resources are provided by the sect.

Even cultivation techniques.

Generally, the focus is on improving existing cultivation techniques.

Occasionally, one may practice new cultivation techniques as a supplement.

The art of alchemy is notoriously difficult to learn and master.

It relies heavily on the individual cultivator's talent and comprehension.

Moreover, there must be a lineage and guidance from a wise teacher.

It is extremely difficult to figure it out on your own.

The entire Qingyun Sect has only one third-tier alchemist, namely the Longevity True Man.

What is Master Hanyu thinking?
She's an ice magic cultivator, how could she possibly cultivate alchemy?
What a joke!
