Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 305 A Battle of Wits (Seeking Subscriptions)

The following days.

On days with thunderstorms, the senior and junior sisters of Xiaogufeng would go to the mountaintop to draw down lightning from the lightning array and create the Zhengyang Thunder Spirit Orb.

This one-time use magic weapon has considerable power.

Even if you can't sell them right now, keeping more on hand is a good way to protect yourself.

Moreover, Master Gufeng Zhenren revealed that as long as one is willing to do it, everyone can get a share of the spirit stones.

The amount will definitely not be small.

It's understandable that the disciples of Xiaogu Peak wouldn't want to learn other cultivation techniques.

It's time-consuming and laborious, with little return.

This type of Zheng Yang Tian Lei Pearl can produce over a hundred pearls in just one day.

The market price is 50,000 spirit stones.

Even after deducting costs, it's still a significant profit no matter how you calculate it.

The specific profit sharing will depend on the outcome of negotiations between Master Gufeng Zhenren and the sect.

This filled them with anticipation.

……

Lost Peak, Council Hall.

The monthly council of Qingyun Sect masters.

This is the highest authority of the Qingyun Sect.

The Mysterious Immortal sat upright in the middle.

Beside him were Spirit Sword Master, Hidden Appearance Master, Heavenly Wind Master, and Heavenly Thunder Master.

Below them are the thirteen peak masters and the masters in charge of each hall and pavilion.

Master Gufeng was originally ranked second to last.

Since offering up the large furnace for alchemy, it has ranked sixth.

He ranks after Lingxiao Zhenren of the Law Enforcement Hall, Changsheng Zhenren of the Alchemy Hall, Tongxuan Zhenren of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Chongxu Zhenren of the Formation Hall, and Yuyang Zhenren of the Weapon Refining Hall.

Han Yu Zhenren, whose combat power is no less than that of a Golden Core cultivator, ranks ninth.

This made Master Gufeng involuntarily glance at Master Hanyu every time he took his seat.

Although I didn't speak.

There was no mockery.

His eyes were brimming with pride.

In response, Han Yu Zhenren, one of only two female cultivators in the Qingyun Sect, maintained a cold expression and outwardly showed disdain.

But I was secretly angry.

Yang Caiyi, how come she has such good luck?

A random, elderly Foundation Establishment disciple can make great contributions to the sect.

In her eyes.

Lone Peak Master Yang Caiyi is not much different from a good-for-nothing.

It was only through the massive investment of resources from the prestigious Yang family that a Core Formation cultivator was created.

He's no good at fighting, and he's no good at doing anything else.

Aside from holding the title of a Core Formation True Person, he is utterly useless.

However, all the senior brothers treated her with great courtesy.

He took care of her in everything.

This made Han Yu Zhenren, who was also a Jurchen, quite resentful.

For hundreds of years, the two have disliked each other and their relationship has always been very bad.

However, this time, Master Gufeng was moved up in the ranking due to his merits, leaving Master Hanyu with nothing to say.

After all, the achievements of refining pills in the large furnace are undeniable.

Even the merits of disciple Shen Xuan belong to the Xiaogufeng lineage.

The sect's reward was entirely appropriate.

The topics for each in-person meeting are discussed beforehand.

The first was a covert battle with Medicine God Valley.

Changsheng Zhenren, Yuyang Zhenren, and others spoke one by one.

Both cases are limited to commercial warfare.

The attack by Medicine God Valley focused on banning the sale of high-level elixirs.

The Qingyun Sect had long been prepared for this.

Moreover, the demand for high-level elixirs is actually not that large.

The Immortal of Longevity personally took action and contacted the Hundred Herbs Sect, a renowned alchemy school in the neighboring State of Lu, to reach an agreement to purchase elixirs.

The price is just a little higher.

Compared to the exorbitant profits of the Gathering Spirit Pill and later the True Essence Pill and Solidifying Spirit Pill, it's not worth mentioning.

Master Yuyang was working day and night to build a giant alchemy furnace for True Essence Pills and Spirit-Stabilizing Pills.

Secondly, there is the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic.

In reality, it's just a training exercise for those with the potential to form their core within a sect.

The Daoist and Demonic sects have always maintained a tacit understanding.

The two high-ranking officials will not intervene.

Each of their Core Formation seeds fights and trains, plundering cultivation resources.

Under normal circumstances, the seeds of the Core Formation in both sects will not be lost.

After all, they are elites from a sect.

Even if one fails to form the Golden Core, one is still a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator who can contribute to the sect.

Those who perished were mostly independent cultivators and clan cultivators without any background.

These cannon fodder materials then become the cultivation resources for the Core Formation seed.

Since there's a tacit understanding, maintaining a stalemate is the best option.

When the time was right, a meeting was held to negotiate a ceasefire, and everyone returned to their respective clans.

Although the Qingyun Sect was at a disadvantage, the battle was still able to be maintained.

Only Tianzhang Prefecture suffered repeated defeats and was completely routed.

The Enforcement Hall recommends replacing the person in charge.

That place was presided over by Lei Yaoyang, a direct disciple of Tianlei Peak.

It is already in the middle stage of Foundation Building.

Getting experience too early is not a good thing.

The Lost Immortal considered it for a while.

"Then let's change the candidates! Junior Brother Ling Xiao, please suggest a few candidates, and then we'll discuss it further."

Master Tianlei did not object.

Under normal circumstances, if the Lost Immortal makes a decision and the four Golden Core cultivators, including the Spirit Sword Immortal, do not object, the proposal is passed.

Unless it is a major event.

That would require a vote from all the real people.

Although Lingxiao Zhenren is also a Golden Core cultivator.

However, the formation of the elixir occurred relatively late.

It has not yet entered the inner five peaks, but ranks first among the outer thirteen peaks.

His opinion cannot be ignored by the likes of the Mysterious Master.

A real-life council meeting like this.

The Lone Peak Master, who has no official duties, has always been a mere puppet.

However, she came prepared today.

The meeting was nearing its end.

Master Gufeng spoke up: "Fellow disciples, I have something to discuss with you."

"I have something that I may sell."

Upon hearing Master Gufeng's words, many masters appeared calm on the surface, but were secretly astonished.

The Master of Lost Tracks seemed confident in his plan.

He has ten incarnations.

The major events within the Qingyun Sect could not escape his notice.

Thunder rumbled across Little Lonely Peak, its sound terrifying.

He had already figured it out long ago.

"Junior Sister Gufeng, are you referring to the Thunder Spirit Orb?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Senior Brother Sect Master."

Master Gufeng smiled gently.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

Seventeen Zheng Yang Thunder Spirit Orbs appeared before him.

They flew to each of the assembled immortals. "This is the Lone Peak Heavenly Thunder Pearl."

Master Gufeng named the Heavenly Thunder Pearl after his own Daoist name without any hesitation.

"It's a specialty of my Little Lonely Peak."

The assembled immortals looked at the solitary peak and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl before them, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

It's just a Heavenly Thunder Pearl, not much different from an ordinary Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

What's so special about a mere second-tier mid-grade one-time use magic weapon?
"Second-tier mid-grade magic treasures, even if they are one-time use, cannot be sold in large quantities according to the rules set by the major sects."

Master Mizong asked with a smile, "Junior Sister Gufeng, how many do you have?"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Master Gufeng learned a method for refining a certain Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

Some people couldn't help but look at Master Tianlei.

Refining Thunder Spirit Pearls has always been a core industry of Thunder Peak.

Why would Master Gufeng get involved in this matter?
Although the Thunder Pearl is quite expensive.

However, the refining process is quite troublesome.

Ideally, one should be a cultivator specializing in thunder magic.

Although a real person can be forcibly refined.

Compared to the vast amount of time and effort spent, the meager income from the Thunder Spirit Pearls produced is simply not worth it.

Even a true master needs to cultivate for a long time to maintain their realm and cultivation level.

"Not many, only eight hundred."

Eight hundred pieces.

Some people looked at the Lone Peak Master with pity.

They knew about the abilities of the Lone Peak Master.

She, who knew nothing of thunder magic, must have spent a lot of time and effort refining these eight hundred thunder spirit orbs.

Born into a prestigious family, she had no choice but to lower herself and refine the Thunder Spirit Pearl in order to earn spirit stones.

"Eight hundred?"

Master Mizong looked at Master Gufeng with a troubled expression.

This amount is neither too much nor too little.

It's not that bad; let's discuss it in a real council meeting.

Under normal circumstances, he treated Master Gufeng with leniency.

Jurchens from prestigious families are special members of any sect.

But this time...

For the first time, he felt that Master Gufeng was somewhat troublesome.

"If it's just eight hundred Thunder Spirit Orbs..."

"This is only one month's production."

As soon as these words came out.

All the people present were deeply moved.

Even Master Tianlei looked towards Master Gufeng.

"If Senior Brother Yuyang sells some Thunder-Containing Divine Iron to me, this amount can be increased tenfold."

Master Gufeng said calmly.

Master Tianlei was no longer calm.

"Junior Sister Gu Feng, this is a sect council meeting; you must not speak recklessly!"

Others are still unaware.

He is a genuine Golden Core cultivator of Thunder Magic.

Even he couldn't refine eight thousand Thunder Spirit Pearls in a month.

What virtue or ability does Master Gufeng possess to dare to make such a boast!

"Senior Brother Yinxiang, what do you think?"

The Lost Immortal turned to look at the Hidden Man and asked.

Master Tianlei said that Master Gufeng couldn't do it.

Master Gufeng would certainly not admit it.

The Mysterious Master inquired with the most senior Master, the Hidden Manifestation Master.

"Junior Sister Gufeng, how much Thunder-Containing Divine Iron do you want?"

"Illusory Man asked slowly."

"Let's start with 10,000 jin!"

Master Gufeng said casually.

"puff!"

Master Yuyang, who was drinking the spiritual tea, suddenly spat it out.

"Junior Sister Gufeng, please don't joke. Even if you dismantle this old body of your senior brother, you still won't be able to gather ten thousand catties of Thunder-Containing Divine Iron."

"Senior Brother Yuyang is really biased. Senior Brother Tianlei has a towering piece of Thunder-Containing Divine Iron that is several meters high. It must weigh at least six or seven thousand catties, if not ten thousand catties."

"I remember that piece of Thunder-Containing Divine Iron was purchased by Senior Brother Yuyang on behalf of Senior Brother Tianlei."

Master Tianlei's face turned black.

This Lone Peak Immortal has set his sights on him.

"Alright, stop joking. Junior Sister Gufeng, have you learned the art of summoning lightning?"

At this moment, Master Lingxiao suddenly spoke.

"The method of summoning lightning?"

Master Yuyang was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

With Master Gufeng's skill level, it is absolutely impossible for him to refine eight thousand Thunder Spirit Pearls in one month.

Unless, she has a secret method to draw the heavenly lightning to the thunder-containing divine iron on the ground.

No wonder she spoke of ten thousand catties of Thunder-Containing Divine Iron.

However, it is no easy task to draw the heavenly lightning to the thunder-containing iron on the ground and store it there.

Moreover, extracting the power of lightning from the Thunder God Iron to refine the Thunder Spirit Pearl is also a delicate task.

As everyone knows, any skill that requires finesse, whether it's alchemy, artifact crafting, array formations, or any other craft, will undoubtedly yield a breakthrough once Master Gufeng gets his hands on it.

That's what Master Lingxiao said.

Then look at the enigmatic smile on the face of the Mysterious Master.

The people present suddenly realized what was going on.

"Ordinary methods of attracting lightning are nothing special. Junior Sister Gu Feng's method of attracting lightning must be extremely exquisite, which is why I reported it to Senior Brother Sect Master."

Lingxiao Zhenren said calmly.

"Senior Brother Lingxiao understands me best."

Master Gufeng nodded, a smug look on his face.

"I have figured out a method to draw out lightning from the thunderclouds in the sky and store it in the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron."

"and then?"

Master Yuyang asked.

"And then? Extract the power of lightning from the Thunder God Iron and create the Lone Peak Thunder Spirit Pearl."

Master Gufeng described it lightly.

However, all the True Immortals present stared at True Immortal Gu Feng, their faces filled with shock.

Gu Feng made it sound so easy.

If it were really that easy, wouldn't the Thunder Spirit Orbs be rampant and cause a disaster?

Thunder Peak produces only a little over a thousand Thunder Spirit Orbs a year.

Even so, it was the result of Master Tianlei personally taking action.

Among his direct disciples, only his eldest disciple was able to refine the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

If you can refine more than ten pieces a month, that's considered to be an exceptional achievement.

"This is my secret technique. Fellow disciples, please help me devise the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron."

"If you don't have 10,000 catties, 6,000 or 7,000 catties will do."

After saying that, Master Gufeng waved her hand, and all seventeen Gufeng Thunder Spirit Pearls flew back into her hand.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, let's summon Shen Xuan into the hall! Junior Sister Gu Feng can't explain it clearly."

"Master Hanyu suddenly said."

Her remarks were met with nods of agreement from all the attendees.

Master Gufeng glared fiercely at Master Hanyu.

half an hour.

Suddenly, she smiled.

"Hanyu, Shen Xuan is my personally taught disciple and will inherit my mantle in the future. Don't even dream about it!"
