Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please!"

Old Daoist Qin immediately stood up when he saw Zhang Yuanjing following Daoist Fang Jue into the pavilion, inviting him to sit down with a beaming smile.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded with a smile and sat down at the table with the old Daoist.

Old Daoist Qin picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of emerald liquid into the jade cup in front of Zhang Yuanjing. Instantly, a clear fragrance filled the air, permeating the entire room.

"Excellent tea!" Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but exclaim.

Old Daoist Qin laughed and said, "This tea is called Azure Dew. It was cultivated by this old Daoist myself. It's most effective for refreshing the mind and clearing the heart. Frequent consumption is quite beneficial to us cultivators. If Fellow Daoist likes it, I'll give you a box!"

Zhang Yuanjing accepted frankly, "Then I thank Fellow Daoist Qin."

Old Daoist Qin was very pleased and said, "Let's savor the tea first."

Zhang Yuanjing picked up the jade cup and first gently sniffed it. He only felt a strange fragrance drilling straight into his throat, making his whole body feel refreshed. Then he took a light sip, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. As the tea entered his stomach, a refreshing energy spread throughout his body, finally condensing into a strand of pure Qi, rising into his brain, causing his soul to tremble, and making his whole person feel lighter.

"This tea is exquisite. Of all the tea I've drunk, this is the best!" Zhang Yuanjing praised sincerely.

Of all the teas he had drunk, the best was naturally that cup given to him by the old daoist in the Land of Demonic Insects; however, that was not because the tea was good, but because a Taiyi Chonghe Powder had been dissolved in the water. Apart from that, the tea he had drunk was indeed incomparable to this Azure Dew.

The two drank tea and exchanged pleasantries. Old Daoist Qin asked about the current situation of the Xuan Tian Sect. Zhang Yuanjing naturally spoke of it in a positive light, frequently mentioning the contributions of the sect's senior experts to the seven cities of the Hengduan Mountains. Old Daoist Qin naturally accepted it all, expressing his agreement and admiration.

When the atmosphere became harmonious, Old Daoist Qin seriously said, "After the Dan Gathering, I specifically invited Fellow Daoist here because I have something to discuss with you. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's fine, Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Old Daoist Qin knew that Zhang Yuanjing was prepared, so he smiled and said, "The reason for inviting Fellow Daoist Zhang is for that broken bone. I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any more of this kind of bone?"

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head and said decisively, "There is only this one, no more."

Old Daoist Qin was not surprised and continued to ask, "Then, may this old Daoist venture to ask, where did you obtain this bone? Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, I'm not asking for the specific location, but rather the environment in which the bone was found!"

Zhang Yuanjing did not answer his question but instead asked, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Qin intends to ask this for?"

Old Daoist Qin smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not like I can't say. This bone is exceptionally sturdy. This old Daoist has tried many methods, but none have had any effect. Sending it back to the sect might yield a solution, but I don't know how long it would take. This old Daoist sees traces of dissolving on the surface of this broken bone, so I wanted to ask where you obtained it, to explore how to refine it."

Zhang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment. Seeing the old Daoist's expectant eyes, he carefully chose his words and said, "This humble Daoist found this broken bone in a misty valley. Apart from the mist, there was nothing special about it."

"Mist? What kind of mist?" Old Daoist Qin pressed.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered and said, "This humble Daoist can't say what kind of mist it is. It seems no different from ordinary mist, but it can block divine sense. Hmm, it seems to be able to bewilder the mind as well."

As soon as Old Daoist Qin heard this, his two white eyebrows furrowed together, and he murmured, "It only confuses the soul and doesn't harm the physical body. Why can it corrode the broken bone?"

Zhang Yuanjing pretended to think for a moment and said, "Perhaps the broken bone was originally in a melted state and has nothing to do with the mist."

Old Daoist Qin was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, then there's no way to find a method to refine this bone."

Zhang Yuanjing said casually, "This bone far exceeds the Core Formation level. Why must Fellow Daoist personally refine it? Just hand it over to your palace."

Old Daoist Qin sighed, somewhat dispiritedly, and said, "If we can't find a way, naturally, we can only handle it this way."

He paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Can Fellow Daoist name a price to tell this old Daoist the exact location where you found the broken bone?"

Zhang Yuanjing's expression froze, and he looked at Old Daoist Qin with炯炯bright eyes.

Old Daoist Qin quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this old Daoist sincerely wants to trade with you. You might as well name a price. As long as this old Daoist can make the decision, I can fulfill it now!"

Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid Fellow Daoist can't make the decision regarding my price!"

"What does Fellow Daoist need?" Old Daoist Qin asked eagerly.

"A Violet Zenith Pill!" Zhang Yuanjing said, word by word.

"This… Fellow Daoist, your price is too high!" Old Daoist Qin's face immediately turned gloomy, and he said with displeasure.

"The remains of a deity transformation stage existence, is it not worth a Violet Zenith Pill!" Zhang Yuanjing said calmly, "If Fellow Daoist thinks it's not worth it, then this trade is off."

Old Daoist Qin's expression flickered, and he said, "Fellow Daoist is only stating a location, not placing the actual remains in front of this old Daoist. How can it be compared to a Violet Zenith Pill!"

Zhang Yuanjing chuckled and said, "Then how about this? I'll explore again. If I can find more broken bones, I'll bring them back to trade with Fellow Daoist for a Violet Zenith Pill. How about it?"

Old Daoist Qin's face returned to normal, and he said, "That also depends on the number of broken bones."

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "How many?"

Old Daoist Qin pondered for a long time, somewhat hesitant, and finally said, "In this old Daoist's opinion, the broken bone you traded to this hall today would require ten pieces. However, since it involves the Violet Zenith Pill, this old Daoist still can't make the decision. I'll report to the palace and reply to Fellow Daoist later."

Zhang Yuanjing naturally had no objection. Before leaving, Old Daoist Qin kept his promise and gave him a box of Azure Dew tea.

After Zhang Yuanjing left, Old Daoist Qin sent someone to summon Daoist Fang Jue and said, "Junior Nephew Fang Jue, go investigate where this Daoist Zhang went on his way from Tiannan City. The more detailed, the better, preferably without any omissions."

Daoist Fang Jue lowered his head and responded. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Uncle Qin, should we mobilize people to capture this Zhang Yuanjing?"

Old Daoist Qin immediately shook his head, "No. This person is not simple. Moreover, the Xuan Tian Sect still has its foundation after all. The Thousand Swords Sect won't be able to pull it down from the top ten sect seat in the Southern Region so easily. You should reduce your interactions with that Qiu Wuying!"

Daoist Fang Jue's expression stiffened, and he asked in confusion, "Our Xuandan Hall has finally helped the Thousand Swords Sect develop the Sword 引 Guiding Pill. Are we going to give up the benefits?"

Old Daoist Qin glared at him, "Without our Xuandan Hall, could the Thousand Swords Sect refine the Sword Guiding Pill? We are only cooperating with them; there's no need to involve other matters!"

Daoist Fang Jue did not agree with this argument, but seeing Old Daoist Qin's stern gaze, he could only say in a low voice, "Yes."

"Also, find a way to spread the news that the spiritual objects in the Hengduan Mountains may be upgraded."

Old Daoist Qin said, "The reason why my Xuanjing Palace has existed until now and always occupied an important position in the Central Region is ultimately because we are constantly developing and researching various higher-quality pills. High-grade, rare, or newly emerging spiritual objects are the foundation of all this. Do not participate in any of those secret battles between sects. Harmony brings wealth, and befriending all parties is the way to strengthen my Xuanjing Palace!"
