Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

In the Xiaoshan Market, deep within the alleys, a shop was bustling with activity for its grand opening.

Bright red lanterns adorned the four-story building, and a magnificent plaque was covered by a red cloth.

This surprised many cultivators who were unaware, as most shop openings were not so quiet. They usually involved festivities and ceremonies.

However, the opening of this shop was quite ordinary.

Many people already believed that this shop was opened by a high-level rogue cultivator.

Only a shop like that would be so calm.

But before they could enter and speculate, they saw cultivators from various forces arriving with gifts.

"That's Zhu Quanguang from the Zhu family, a Zifu cultivator!"

"And there's Gu Qianqiu from Qingzhu Valley, a third-tier alchemist!"

As the ruling cultivators of various forces appeared one by one, they naturally attracted many cultivators to stop and inquire about the origin of the shop.

"This is the second shop opened by the Tiansha Sect, specializing in selling formations, formation disks, and spiritual talismans and materials!"

"It's only because it's the second shop opening that they didn't hold a grand banquet."

After hearing the words "Tiansha Sect," everyone suddenly understood and felt it was only natural.

In the Xiaoshan Market, if you were to ask which force had been the most prominent in the past decade, it would naturally be the Tiansha Sect.

Real Person Qianchen had emerged out of nowhere and was also a fourth-tier alchemist, a name that could be ranked even in the Southern Wilderness.

Moreover, in the battle between Xiaoshan Prefecture and the Ghost Xuan Sect, some cultivators on the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship saw the details and revealed them.

Real Person Qianchen killed a Ghost Xuan Sect cultivator of the same rank, with combat power comparable to Real Person Shan Kui, which further enhanced Real Person Qianchen's reputation.

And after such a real person became famous, he did not act ostentatiously but chose to refine pills for more than half a year.

Naturally, this made more people respect Real Person Qianchen even more, and some even used Real Person Qianchen as an example to teach their descendants.

After all, the real person had extraordinary talent and was still so hardworking.

What reason did they, who were only at the Qi training, Foundation Establishment, or Zifu stages, have to waste their lives?

Many people were also guessing how old Real Person Qianchen really was.

The answers were naturally varied, with some saying three hundred years old, four hundred years old, or even seven or eight hundred years old, but most believed he was five or six hundred years old.

After all, Real Person Qianchen was not only a Jindan cultivator but also a mid-stage fourth-tier alchemist.

If he wasn't old enough, it would be impossible to achieve these two accomplishments. Moreover, his appearance and style of doing things didn't resemble a very old cultivator, so naturally, four or five hundred years old was the most accurate.

"No wonder they didn't hold a grand banquet, but all the surrounding forces came and brought gifts!" The person who asked suddenly understood.

They were well aware that Real Person Qianchen had limited the number of third-tier spiritual pill commission requests. It was said that the commission requests for the next three years were already fully booked.

Moreover, many people were still sending gifts to get in line.

Even Xiao Congrong, the ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tiansha Sect, had left a deep impression on many people.

After all, many Zifu cultivators had to call Xiao Congrong "Elder Xiao."

As the crowd discussed, time quietly passed.

More and more people came to the shop, and naturally, the entire street became very lively.

"That's Real Person Zifu from the Zifu Sect!" At that moment, a slightly chubby figure in a purple robe appeared in everyone's sight, accompanied by several others.

"The Joyous Union Duo is here too!"

"That's Real Person Shan Kui!"

Exclamations rang out one after another, and the appearance of many big shots made the street even more lively.

However, there was very little noise at the moment, as many cultivators were afraid of being too loud and angering the real people.

Beside that mysterious restaurant, Ye Jingcheng finally appeared.

He led Ye Xingliu and several Tiansha Sect cultivators to greet the real people directly.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat unprepared. He didn't want to come forward this time, but seeing several real people appearing in front of him to congratulate the Tiansha Sect on its opening, he couldn't hide in the shop and let the other Tiansha Sect cultivators or Ye Xingliu entertain them.

According to his estimation, even if the real people from the major forces wanted to show their support, they should only send Zifu cultivators to attend.

And he would continue to refine pills after the opening was completed. Although the Ningjin Pill had been successfully refined,

to him, the most important pills were still the Jinlin Pill and the Chiyan Pill.

Of course, seeing so many real people coming, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed that he had underestimated the value of a fourth-tier alchemist.

"Fellow Daoist Zifu, Fellow Daoist Yuyun, Madam He, Fellow Daoist Shan Kui..." Ye Jingcheng invited these real people in one by one.

To everyone's surprise, another real person came from afar.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, Xu came uninvited. I hope I'm not disturbing you." The speaker was a middle-aged strong man with a beard.

Although Ye Jingcheng had never seen him before, he immediately recognized that he was Xu Qiukui, the Supreme Elder of the Xu family, one of the five Jindan forces in Xiaoshan Prefecture.

"Please come in, please come in. It's my honor for Fellow Daoist Xu to come." Ye Jingcheng repeatedly cupped his hands.

Xu Qiukui also had a considerable reputation in Xiaoshan Prefecture. He was a genuine Jindan body refiner. The reason he hadn't come before was said to be that he was in seclusion.

Now, as Ye Jingcheng assessed him, he discovered that the other party's flesh contained a faint spiritual light, which seemed somewhat unstable, indicating that he had broken through to the mid-stage of Jindan but hadn't fully consolidated it yet.

"Fellow Daoist Xu's breakthrough is so easy; your talent is truly enviable!" Ye Jingcheng also said.

"Just lucky, just lucky!" Xu Qiukui immediately laughed.

After they arrived, Xiao He also led many cultivators from the Orthodox Sect.

Although Xiao He was a Zifu cultivator, he could be regarded as a Jindan cultivator on such formal occasions.

Ye Jingcheng also greeted them, after all, the shop was given by Prefecture Lord Xiao for free.

A group of cultivators brought gifts, but these gifts were all ordinary third-tier spiritual items. After all, it wasn't a celebration, but what made Ye Jingcheng happy was that although these gifts were not precious, they were also rare. Two of them were the third-tier auxiliary materials he needed.

When everyone arrived, the time was almost up, and Ye Jingcheng personally pulled down the red cloth, revealing the four characters "Tiansha Formation Pavilion."

Only then did the gongs and drums begin to blare a few times, as a simple ceremony, signifying the official opening of the shop.

Ye Jingcheng also had Ye Xingliu say a few words to exchange greetings and let the other cultivators get to know Ye Xingliu.

After all, Ye Xingliu would be responsible for this shop in the future, and he would also be responsible for secretly collecting treasures and inquiring about news from the entire Central Region.

"This is my third uncle, who will be responsible for this shop in the future." Ye Jingcheng also briefly introduced Ye Xingliu to the several Jindan cultivators.

The others nodded.

After all, it was too normal for a Jindan cultivator to have a Zifu relative.

After a brief introduction, Ye Jingcheng invited the five people to the third floor and took out the third-tier Qing Shui He Ling tea to entertain them.

This third-tier spiritual tea was given by the Duan family. Even entertaining Jindan cultivators wouldn't be considered downgrading.

As the spiritual tea diffused, a tea fragrance with the feeling of lotus flowers blooming had already emerged in everyone's minds.

Although the tea fragrance was light, it was full of fragrance, and when it fell into the throat, it could not be dispelled, and the aftertaste was long-lasting.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen is really full of elegance!" The other real people were fine, but Real Person Zifu immediately picked up the tea and smiled with some banter.

It was as if he regarded Ye Jingcheng as a fellow traveler.

Obviously, the other party had also been to the Duan family's restaurant, and may even have enjoyed himself.

Ye Jingcheng naturally smiled when he heard this, but did not respond otherwise.

"Since all fellow Daoists are here, why not hold a small Jindan gathering?" Just after everyone had exchanged a few words, Xu Qiukui of the Xu family took the lead in speaking.

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately nodded.

Unlike asking someone to refine spiritual pills, where you had to prepare the pill formula and spiritual herbs, this exchange was extremely simple.

As a body refiner who had just broken through, Xu Qiukui still intended to trade to see if he could obtain any treasures.

"This matter is wonderful!" Real Person Zifu also repeatedly said.

Ye Jingcheng would naturally not refuse even more.

He hadn't participated in many trade fairs after Jindan.

"That's good, but since Fellow Daoist Qianchen is the host, then Fellow Daoist Qianchen should start first. It's also good to see if we have any treasures that alchemists need. After all, alchemists are not short of treasures!" Xu Qiukui then suggested.

His words were very polite, and he did not steal the limelight of the host because he was in the mid-stage of Jindan and Ye Jingcheng was in the early stage of Jindan.

"Then I will start by throwing a brick to attract jade!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

The first one to exchange treasures was naturally the most profitable.

After all, the others had not yet had the opportunity to trade.

Ye Jingcheng didn't think of any good treasures because he was in a hurry.

After thinking for a while, he took out three items.

The first item he took out was the arm magic weapon he had obtained from the Jia family, a special fourth-grade low-grade magic weapon.

The second item was a bottle of spiritual pills, specifically, fourth-grade Chengze Pills of the earth attribute.

These spiritual pills were also of the earth attribute.

Finally, the third treasure that Ye Jingcheng brought out was a Longevity Spiritual Peach.

He exchanged two of his Longevity Spiritual Peaches for ones from True Lord Tian Dao, and gave one to Ye Jingyong, leaving him with two.

Currently, there aren't many cultivators in the Ye family lacking lifespan who also have close relationships with Ye Jingcheng and are important to the family.

Naturally, taking them out to exchange for treasures is the best option.

After taking out these treasures, Ye Jingcheng also produced a jade slip, which listed the spiritual herbs he needed, specifically the final main ingredient for the Jade Kirin Pill, as well as the main ingredients for the Earth Dragon Pill and the Five-Colored Golden Falcon Pill.

"Fellow Daoists, the first item is the Golden Arm Magic Weapon, made with materials comparable to a fourth-grade middle-grade magic weapon. If it is re-refined, it is very likely to reach the fourth-grade middle-grade. The second item is the Chengze Pill, most suitable for Daoists practicing earth-attribute techniques. It not only improves mana but also has the effect of condensing true essence. The final treasure is a Longevity Spiritual Peach that extends lifespan by fifty years, which fellow Daoists with family members or sect members lacking lifespan can exchange for!" Ye Jingcheng introduced.

The three treasures he took out were all targeted.

For example, Xu Qiukui was a Core Formation middle-stage cultivator whose treasures were not great and relied entirely on his physical body. He needed this kind of magic weapon.

Mountain Puppet True Man and Jade Cloud True Man both cultivated earth-attribute techniques and needed Chengze Pills.

As for the last one, True Man Zifu, he already had eight hundred years of lifespan.

He was only at the Core Formation middle stage, and breaking through to the Core Formation late stage was somewhat distant, let alone breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Naturally, he craved longevity spiritual medicines!

After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, the five True Men were indeed somewhat expectant.

"This seat is refining a unique pill formula, so these treasures will only be exchanged for equivalent spiritual medicines!" Ye Jingcheng then added his requirements.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, I have a two-thousand-year-old Heavenly Scale Grass here."

Sure enough, the first to speak was Xu Qiukui, who was also looking at the Golden Arm Magic Weapon.

This magic weapon could be refined into a natal magic weapon by Jia Zeyuan, a descendant of a craftsman, so it naturally had its unique features.

Most importantly, it could enhance the physical body, so to others, it looked like he didn't use a magic weapon at all, but in fact, a punch would reveal its terror.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, is this Heavenly Scale Grass only two thousand years old?" Ye Jingcheng still patiently asked, as the Heavenly Scale Grass was another main ingredient for the Earth Dragon Pill.

However, the reason he asked this was not because the age was insufficient to refine the Earth Dragon Pill, but because he felt that the value of the Heavenly Scale Grass was still somewhat lacking. He was subtly reminding him.

Xu Qiukui immediately looked embarrassed.

He knew that his Heavenly Scale Grass was only a spiritual herb after all, and naturally couldn't compare to a fourth-grade special magic weapon.

So he also said:

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, how about I add a portion of Heavenly Astral Qi?" Xu Qiukui couldn't produce other spiritual medicines, so he thought of the fact that there were very few Violet Palace cultivators in the Heavenly Sand Gate.

"Naturally, but I would be taking advantage!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but say.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, this magic weapon is very much to my liking. It is I, Xu, who am taking advantage!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng being polite, Xu Qiukui also politely replied.

To Ye Jingcheng's disappointment, the others didn't produce the other main ingredients, and currently, he was missing one main ingredient for the Jade Kirin Pill and one main ingredient for the fourth-grade Earth Dragon Pill.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, I have a piece of fourth-grade Yang Yuan Jade here. I wonder if I can exchange it for this fourth-grade Chengze Pill!" At that moment, Mountain Puppet True Man also transmitted his voice.

He naturally liked this spiritual pill, but he couldn't produce Ye Jingcheng's spiritual herbs.

Next to him, True Man Zifu also transmitted his voice:

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, Zi cannot currently find the spiritual herbs you need, but could you give Zi some time to find the spiritual herbs and then exchange for this Longevity Spiritual Peach!"

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was clear that his targeted treasures had worked.

He agreed to both requests.

Fourth-grade Yang Yuan Jade didn't have much effect on Core Formation cultivators, but for Violet Palace cultivators, having a piece of fourth-grade Yang Yuan Jade when breaking through the Core Formation tribulation could increase the success rate by ten percent.

Because it could suppress inner demons.

However, it could only be used once, and its power would be exhausted after one use.

But for Ye Jingcheng, it was equally important, as he had to prepare it for Chu Yanqing.

As for True Man Zifu's request to keep it and exchange it for spiritual herbs later, Ye Jingcheng would naturally keep it.

After all, his Longevity Spiritual Peach bore fruit once every twenty years.

Even if he exchanged it with someone else during this period, he could still exchange it with True Man Zifu.

After Ye Jingcheng finished exchanging, it was the others' turn.

Ye Jingcheng also made two more deals with the following treasures, both times exchanging spiritual pills.

One was exchanged for Golden Puppet Yuan Wood, and the other was exchanged for three fourth-grade Primordial Nurturing Grasses.

The former was obtained from Madam He. This was also the main material for refining the Ye family's fourth-grade Substitute Sand Puppet Talisman, while the latter was the main ingredient for refining the fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual pill Four-Star Primordial Nurturing Pill. For Ye Jingcheng, today's transaction had earned him a lot.

After the small trade fair ended, everyone drank spiritual tea, and their faces showed a lot more joy. After all, it was rare to participate in the opening of a shop and be able to exchange treasures.

"By the way, fellow Daoists, I heard that True Man Qingquan of the Qingquan Sect in Jiayuan Prefecture, Southern Barbarian State, seems to have failed to return from a secret realm operation. The sect is left with only one Core Formation cultivator, and the defensive formation of their mountain gate is only fourth-grade low-grade. It was previously invaded by the Ghost Xuan Sect. Xu believes that we cannot continue to sit and wait for death!" Just as everyone was about to leave, Xu Qiukui signaled Ye Jingcheng to activate the formation and then spoke mysteriously.

His words startled them.

Although the evil cultivator forces of Southern Barbarian State often came to Xiaoshan Prefecture, the forces of Xiaoshan Prefecture rarely invaded and plundered Southern Barbarian State.

After all, it was faster for cultivators on this side to provide support in their own home field, while it was faster for the other side to provide support in their home field.

Unless there was some heaven-defying treasure, they naturally didn't want to take risks.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have any brilliant ideas?" True Man Zifu couldn't help but ask.

He naturally didn't want to go, but he was curious about what treasure Xu Qiukui was eyeing.

"Hehe, to be honest, fellow Daoists, I am interested in a Primal Chaos Star Forging Fruit tree within the Qingquan Sect. This fruit tree only bears fruit once every fifty years, but each fruit can increase the Qi and blood of body cultivators, and even increase the chances of Violet Palace body cultivators breaking through to Core Formation body cultivators. It would be a waste to put such a treasure in Jiayuan Prefecture. Moreover, fellow Daoist Zifu, this Qingquan Sect also has a Blessing Longevity Tea Fruit tree. Although this Blessing Longevity Tea Fruit tree doesn't increase lifespan much, it is a fourth-grade spiritual tea tree. This grade alone is enough to make our hearts flutter!" Xu Qiukui added.

However, the others still shook their heads.

Finally, True Man Yuyun said:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, let's wait for Prefecture Lord Xiao to come out of seclusion before discussing this matter. Otherwise, even if we succeed, no one will be there to support our retreat."

After True Man Yuyun finished speaking, the others nodded.

After all, Prefecture Lord Xiao was still healing, and if something happened to them, there would be no one to support them.

Moreover, to escape quickly, they would need the Dragon Envoy Flying Boat, preferably the orange Dragon Envoy Flying Boat.

Otherwise, the speed of the other flying boats would not be enough, and there would be a high chance of being caught up.

You should know that evil cultivators don't have many other things, but they have a lot of special secret techniques.

If they were discovered and stayed in Jiayuan Prefecture, the risk of falling would be great.

Hearing so many people speak, Xu Qiukui was not annoyed, but nodded.

"Then let's wait for Prefecture Lord Xiao to come out of seclusion before discussing it!" After Xu Qiukui finished speaking, they all left.

After entertaining the Core Formation True Men, Ye Jingcheng went to a room next door.

Inside the room, Ye Xingliu was receiving Xiao He.

Although Xiao He's face was comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator in public, he would still be separated from the Core Formation True Men when no one was around. Xiao He was naturally clear about these rules, so he was not angry and chatted with Ye Xingliu casually.

They talked quite happily.

When Ye Jingcheng came, Xiao He also stood up:

"Senior Qianchen."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this seat has not entertained you well today. I hope you will not be offended!"

"Senior Qianchen, your hospitality here is better than many Core Formation forces. I am somewhat apprehensive."

Xiao He held the third-grade spiritual tea cup and then said:

"Senior Qianchen, some treasures have recently arrived in Xiaoshan Prefecture. If you want to exchange them for merits, now is the time!"
