Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Conditions

"It’s just half a month until the return to the Golden Pond, so let’s take this opportunity to boost the strength of the Emperor Immortal Sect a notch,"

Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Those three masters must be coming to him to purchase Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pills and to seek guidance in the art of alchemy.

Now, the Emperor Immortal Sect no longer lacked cultivation resources, but the supply of elixirs remained the same as before.

Because there were too few alchemists in the Alchemy Hall of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

The strongest was just Wu Jingshan, a Sixth Rank Alchemist.

The rest were three Fifth Rank Alchemists.

Below them, there were only a few Fourth Rank Alchemists, and the rest were all Second and Third Rank Alchemists.

After all, with so few people, even if the number of Medicine Fields increased, they would not be able to produce more elixirs in a timely manner to supply the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Nine Peaks for their cultivation.

In the Cultivation World, wealth, companions, techniques, and territory are essential.

For Ye Xuan, wealth and companions were not an issue; as for territory, it required gradual progress since the Emperor Immortal Sect had declined for a long time, and the spiritual energy of nature within the sect’s ancestral lands had dissipated, turning it into barren land.

For the Emperor Immortal Sect, wealth, companions, techniques, and territory were all problems.

Let’s not even talk about territory, as it had been a part of the Emperor Immortal Sect for so long.

As for techniques, disciples mostly picked their own cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion and then cultivated them.

However, many of these techniques had not been cultivated by the high-ranking members of the Emperor Immortal Sect, so they could not provide precise guidance.

That was one problem.

Wealth.

It refers to the spirit stones and elixirs needed by the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect for their daily cultivation.

If they lacked spirit stones and elixirs, then cultivation would become extremely difficult.

This is also why Loose Cultivators are at a disadvantage compared to disciples of large sects in some respects.

Because Loose Cultivators must strive for these things on their own, and it can be very difficult to obtain spirit stones and elixirs. They have no choice but to rely on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation.

But with just that, it is very difficult to reach deeper levels.

After all, not everyone possesses Ye Xuan’s Taoist Body; relying solely on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to make a breakthrough in their realm is extremely difficult.

It might still be possible in the early stages of cultivation, but later on, it becomes nearly impossible.

Unless the place of cultivation is a geomantic treasure with the essence of the world converging there.

Otherwise, it’s difficult all the same.

This is why in the Cultivation World, there are constant battles and strife.

Because without fighting, you end up with nothing.

Without these spirit stones and elixirs, one cannot continue to break through, which is equivalent to having no power.

Without power, it’s difficult to gain a foothold in this world.

In the Cultivation World, the law of the jungle prevails.

Without power, wherever you go, you won’t get respect, and you might even be bullied.

Just like when Ye Xuan had not yet revived his soul and had no cultivation.

Which disciple of the whole Emperor Immortal Sect did not dare to bully him?

The situation of the Emperor Immortal Sect is not much different from Ye Xuan’s position in the sect back then.

In the eyes of the strong throughout the Southern Domain, or even the entire East Desolate or the Daozhou Land,

The Emperor Immortal Sect is nothing more than a joke.

To escape this predicament, there’s only one way out.

Become stronger!

Become so strong that no one dares to laugh at you anymore, and people even come to worship you.

Just as in the glorious days of the Emperor Immortal Sect, when its might shook All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

This is one of Ye Xuan’s current goals.

Back then, when he returned to the Emperor’s Burial Ground to continue sealing his flesh and fell into slumber, Lie Tian Great Emperor and Xuanyuan Sword Emperor and others quietly followed him in to find the master of the Emperor’s Burial Ground for a battle.

That battle is unknown to all.

But when Ye Xuan awoke and returned to the Emperor Immortal Sect, everything was already clear.

Lie Tian and Xuanyuan and the rest of those youngsters must have gone to seek vengeance for him.

For that, they had even paid with their lives.

This was the catalyst for the decline of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Without the Lie Tian Great Emperor and Xuanyuan Sword Emperor and others to uphold it, and possessing countless top-grade Divine Communication Skills, the Emperor Immortal Sect attracted coveting from others in the same path.

In the end, ninety thousand years ago, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect made its move against the Emperor Immortal Sect.

That battle marked the complete decline of Emperor Immortal Sect.

Even though there was a moment when they seemed on the verge of rising again, they were pulled down by the powers within the East Desolate, falling deep into the dust.

Right now, what Emperor Immortal Sect most needed was the wealth and Daoist Techniques of the land.

Regarding Daoist Techniques, Ye Xuan had already made plans, he would begin preaching to the disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect within three days, focusing on teaching and solving doubts.

Five days before the start of yesterday’s exchange meeting, Ye Xuan had immersed himself in the Scripture Pavilion and had flipped through all the Divine Communication Skills and secret realms contained within.

This was in preparation for the preaching.

It was essential first to lay a solid foundation for the multitude of disciples in Emperor Immortal Sect.

As for wealth, the issue of spirit stones was almost settled, with the most important being the supply of elixirs.

As mentioned before, the distribution of elixirs remained the same as before.

This was due to the shortage of Alchemists.

With the arrival of Elder Hua Feng and two others, Ye Xuan saw an opportunity to make a move.

In the midst of Ye Xuan’s contemplation, Jiang Jing led Elder Hua Feng and the others to the Emperor Great Hall.

Upon entering the hall, Elder Hua Feng and Liao Yue immediately set their sights on Ye Xuan, their eyes brightening as they briskly stepped forward, cupped their hands, and said with a smile:

"Young friend Ye Xuan, it has been many days, I have missed you very much."

The attitude of Elder Hua Feng and Liao Yue caught Jiang Jing and others by surprise, but they soon let go of their shock, as after all, Ye Xuan was capable of concocting the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled and looked at the two men, saying, "I don’t much like idle talk, if you have something to say, get straight to the point."

"Hm?" Seeing Ye Xuan’s attitude, both Nie Shan of the Wind and Thunder Hand and Yu Wenlei felt it odd.

Why did it seem as if Elder Hua Feng and Liao Yue were somewhat ingratiating themselves with Ye Xuan?

And looking at Ye Xuan, it seemed as if he didn’t care about the two at all.

These two were fairly renowned Alchemy Masters in the Southern Domain, with countless people seeking their elixirs, usually receiving nothing but other’s respect.

Currently, however, it seemed like the situation was entirely reversed.

What astonished Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei was that Elder Hua Feng and Liao Yue appeared to have no dissatisfaction whatsoever!

"Young friend is straightforward, so we’ll speak plainly," said Elder Hua Feng with a chuckle, "We’ve come this time to ask for medicine from that master of your sect."

"I am here on behalf of Dan Yun Sect, hoping to form an alliance with Emperor Immortal Sect," Liao Yue also said respectfully.

"My name is Dan Yuanzi, I too am here to seek medicine from that master, please introduce us," said Master Dan Yuanzi, seeming afraid that Ye Xuan might have forgotten about him.

Three Alchemy Masters showing such respect to a sixteen-year-old youth—if this scene were known, it would surely cause a great sensation.

Knowing that Alchemists are incredibly esteemed, many cultivators seek their Elixirs, hence many powerful individuals follow them.

Under ordinary circumstances, encountering an Alchemist would generally be met with immense respect.

However, in front of Ye Xuan, it seemed everything was turned upside down.

This caused Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei, who were unaware of the full situation, to feel a deep shock.

However, for Jiang Jing and others, this was no surprise at all.

They had already known the news that Ye Xuan could concoct the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill.

Being able to concoct a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill was enough to prove Ye Xuan’s status.

In the entire Alchemy World of the Southern Domain, he was a highly distinguished figure!

For in the Alchemy World of the Southern Domain, those who could concoct a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill were few and far between.

"Haven’t I already said that the person who concocted the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill is me?" Ye Xuan glanced at Master Dan Yuanzi and said at a measured pace.

Heard by Master Dan Yuanzi, who internally scoffed, not believing that Ye Xuan was that mysterious master.

However, because Ye Xuan could speak on behalf of that ’mysterious master,’ he was being so polite.

"What young friend says is correct," Master Dan Yuanzi said, cupping his hands with a smile.

"Since you are here to seek medicine, you understand the rules, don’t you?" said Ye Xuan, leaning forward slightly with a smile on his face.

"Of course," said Elder Hua Feng as he flipped his right hand, took out a storage ring, and handed it to Ye Xuan, his aged face carrying a hint of ingratiation, "This contains the spiritual materials I have prepared."

"This is a token of my sect’s sincerity," said Liao Yue, also producing a storage ring.

Master Dan Yuanzi was savvy as well and took out a storage ring.

Looking at the storage rings from the three, Ye Xuan did not reach for them, instead speaking slowly, "There’s no need to rush with these things; I have a condition."

"But speak freely, young friend Ye," Elder Hua Feng said.

"To provide Elixir supply for my sect," Ye Xuan stated straightforwardly.

"This..." the three looked at each other, hesitating.

Was he asking them to concoct elixirs for Emperor Immortal Sect?

"The provision of spiritual materials will be supplied by my sect; you just need to provide a corresponding amount of elixirs each month for my sect," Ye Xuan explained.
