Chapter 900: Chapter 5: Widespread Fame (Please Subscribe)_2
After five hundred years, Lin Yuan had greatly improved in all aspects of strength, but was still unable to contend with a twelfth-layer ultimate being.
Especially given that the body he had upon arriving in the Immortal Realm paled in comparison to the one meticulously crafted in the Main Universe.
“As long as I can comprehend the Seventh Realm of time and space, even under the watchful eye of the Ancestral Master, I won’t be discovered, let alone when entering the Primordial Lands?”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Seventh Realm of time and space would at the very least ensure that Lin Yuan remains undefeated in the Path Splitting Realm. The power of the Ancestor of the Immortal Path is indeed of twelfth-layer ultimate, but definitely would not exceed the scope of the Path Splitting Realm.
…
“Martial Tao’s First Tier Chapter… is mostly perfected.”
Words appeared before Lin Yuan, precisely the details of Martial Tao’s First Tier Chapter.
Perfecting Martial Tao’s First Tier Chapter is not only about helping Lin Yuan establish an evolution pathway for Martial Tao to spread externally, but is also a repeated review and affirmation of his own path.
Only with a thorough understanding and mastery of oneself can one continue to advance. With a solid foundation, the future is boundlessly promising.
“Now, I can send out avatars to spread the evolution pathway of Martial Tao on a small scale.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. The vast and boundless Immortal Realm, with countless living beings, is not a place Lin Yuan would neglect as a ground for propagation.
As for whether he would be detected by the Ancestor of the Immortal Path? Lin Yuan is only spreading on a small scale.
In fact, in the vast Immortal Realm, there are also other cultivation systems besides the Immortal Cultivation System, but they are far from being comparable to the mainstream Immortal Path.
As long as the evolution pathway of Martial Tao doesn’t appear too distinctive and eye-catching, let alone attracting the attention of the Ancestral Master, even the Jade Immortals wouldn’t pay heed.
…
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yuan left an avatar to continue comprehending the irregular fissures that connect to the Primordial Lands, while his true form disappeared on the spot.
The Grade A cave dwelling, as the top cultivation dwelling in Cangwu Immortal City, is divided into many areas, and the place Lin Yuan usually secludes himself to comprehend the irregular fissures is merely his cultivation area.
Apart from the cultivation area, there are many other zones, such as the visitor area, rest area, and so on.
…
Lin Yuan’s form appeared out of thin air on the grand hall’s throne.
“Master.” A figure below immediately bowed deeply with utmost respect towards Lin Yuan.
This figure was none other than Yun Zhenzi, the consciousness within the purple jade slip that the original Gao Wuyou acquired as a chance of becoming a Jade Immortal.
Yun Zhenzi perished in a great war between immortals and demons nearly ten million years ago, leaving behind a method for resurrection, which was activated when Lin Yuan inspected the jade slip, with the intention of seizing Lin Yuan’s body.
The outcome was obviously clear.
Yun Zhenzi was easily suppressed by Lin Yuan, who then borrowed his identity to take over this Grade A cave dwelling.
As Lin Yuan needed to constantly maintain the identity of Yun Zhenzi, he did not eradicate Yun Zhenzi’s consciousness completely.
Instead, it was repurposed, helping Yun Zhenzi reconstruct his body and serving him.
Yun Zhenzi was originally an experienced Jade Immortal. With Lin Yuan holding his life in his hands, the only way he could continue to live was to obey Lin Yuan’s commands without question.
Over the past five hundred years, Lin Yuan spent most of his time in seclusion. During this period, all other trivial matters were handled by Yun Zhenzi.
For example, purchasing various cultivation resources? The resources Yun Zhenzi prepared for his own cultivation had been exhausted by Lin Yuan more than four hundred years ago.
To continue obtaining resources for cultivation, one must trade and purchase from the outside world, which of course Lin Yuan was too lazy to do, all being handled by Yun Zhenzi.
“What has happened during this time?” Lin Yuan asked casually.
Among the many tasks assigned to Yun Zhenzi was to keep track of significant events that occurred in the Immortal Realm.
“Master…” Yun Zhenzi immediately reported the numerous pieces of intelligence he had gathered.
“The manifestations of the Demon Abyss have become more frequent, it seems a new war between immortals and demons is about to begin,” Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Every few million or tens of millions of years, the consciousness of the Ancestor of the Demon Abyss would partially awaken, causing the demons deep within the Demon Abyss to stir restlessly, invading the Immortal Realm indiscriminately.
This was the origin of the great wars between immortals and demons.
“That must be it, Cangwu Immortal City and other Immortal Cities as well as some powers are all making preparations for the war between immortals and demons,” Yun Zhenzi said in a low voice.
He himself had fallen in the last great war between immortals and demons, and thus paid great attention to such wars that affected the entire Immortal Realm.
With each war between immortals and demons, countless immortals perished, and even Jade Immortals are not spared. If someone as powerful as Yun Zhenzi could fall, it goes without saying for those ordinary Jade Immortals.
“Master, a few days ago, representatives from the Nine Dragons Commerce Association requested to see you, hoping that you could refine a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills for them,” said Yun Zhenzi.
“Nine Revolutions Golden Pills…”
Lin Yuan stroked his chin.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is a peerless life-saving Immortal Pill. For those at the Golden Immortal level, no matter the injury, as long as the True Spirit still exists, consuming one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill can lead to instantaneous healing.
Even Jade Immortals, upon consuming a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, can heal most injuries.
For any force, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is a strategic Immortal Pill, especially on the eve of the looming Immortal-Demon war; it is of paramount importance.
…
After five hundred years of secluded cultivation, Lin Yuan consumed an untold number of cultivation resources.
And where did these cultivation resources come from? Looting?
The amount of cultivation resources Lin Yuan needed was enormous; relying on looting? Once or twice might not pose a problem.
But if done frequently, it would inevitably induce panic among all the Jade Immortals and consequently attract the attention of the Ancestor of the Immortal Path.
Before possessing the strength to fearlessly face obstructions, Lin Yuan wouldn’t engage in such high-profile activities; therefore, the way to obtain resources was through trading with other Jade Immortals or forces.
Within the Immortal Realm, Immortal Pills are undoubtedly the hard currency, from the common folks to the Jade Immortals, whether for cultivation or other uses, all are inseparable from Immortal Pills.
Furthermore, since Yun Zhenzi himself was quite skilled in the Alchemy Technique, Lin Yuan dedicated time to learn the art of alchemy.
The essence of the Alchemy Technique is the control over various subtle medicinal forces, and with Lin Yuan’s mind and will reaching into the twelfth layer, he was virtually a born Alchemy Master.
Additionally, with his Against-Heaven’s Understanding, after merely studying for a few days, Lin Yuan’s alchemy prowess had already surpassed Yun Zhenzi, the Alchemy Master.
Therefore….
When not cultivating, Lin Yuan had Yun Zhenzi sell some of the Immortal Pills he had refined.
With Lin Yuan’s mental control over subtle medicinal forces, both the quality and success rate of the pills were incredibly high.
It was by continuously refining and selling Immortal Pills that Lin Yuan supported his tremendous consumption of resources over five hundred years of cultivation.
For Lin Yuan, refining a rare Immortal Pill could almost result in a profit tens or hundreds of times the cost.
This was far more efficient than looting or plundering.
And there was no risk at all.
Over the centuries, most of Lin Yuan’s Immortal Pills were sold covertly.
Only a few dozen times were they sold openly, and even so, they built Lin Yuan’s reputation as an Alchemy Master.
“Refine a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills? How much is the Nine Dragons Commerce Association willing to pay?” Lin Yuan asked with interest.
As a strategic pill with high difficulty in refinement and several exceedingly rare main ingredients required, none of that is Lin Yuan’s concern.
Since the Nine Dragons Commerce Association planned to have Lin Yuan refine a batch of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills, they would have surely prepared the materials.
As for the difficulty of refinement? It was trivial for Lin Yuan.
What mattered was whether the Nine Dragons Commerce Association could afford the price.
“The Jade Immortal from the Nine Dragons Commerce Association wishes to discuss the compensation with the Master personally,” said Yun Zhenzi immediately.
The Nine Dragons Commerce Association, being a Jade Immortal-level force with nine Jade Immortals of the Dragon Clan at its helm, is quite famous across the thirty-three Immortal Domains.
“Alright, let him come to see me,” Lin Yuan nodded and said.
“Yes.” Yun Zhenzi immediately began to arrange a meeting with the Jade Immortal from the Nine Dragons Commerce Association.
In no time at all.
An imposing man wearing a golden scale robe and with blue horns on his forehead appeared outside the cave dwelling.
“Greetings to Master Yun Zhenzi,” said the Jade Immortal from the Nine Dragons Commerce Association, quite politely. Although in recent centuries, Lin Yuan’s public sales of Immortal Pills have been few and far between.
However, every single pill sold has been of high quality, and the outside world believes that Yun Zhenzi has the ability to refine Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
“Azure Dragon Sect Master,” Lin Yuan said.
The Nine Dragons Commerce Association has nine Dragon Clan Jade Immortal Sect Masters, and the one standing before him is the Azure Dragon Sect Master.
Among the nine Jade Immortal Sect Masters, Azure Dragon Sect Master’s strength could rank within the top three, and his actions externally are extremely domineering.
