Immortality: Starting with the Fruit of Taiyin

The traditional arts and crafts passed down through generations may not be easily bought with spirit stones; they would require some precious resources.

However, with the destruction of the three major sects, there were more than one place like the Baiyun Mountain branch.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators have taken a large number of inheritance jade slips and are waiting to cash in on them.

Even under various pressures, the inheritance they possess will soon be bought out at a high price and its dissemination will be prohibited.

However, if the Han family were willing to exploit a time lag, they could obtain a copy; it's just that it would be easier to get it from themselves...

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Xuan didn't say anything more since things were beyond his control.

"Since you are unwilling, let's drop this matter."

"I have some savings, so I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to live in Baihefang for a few years."

"The Lu family of Xuanfu is renowned for its power; this place should be safe enough."

Wang Xuan spoke calmly, not worried that the other party would become angry and attack him.

As he said, this is not a small or medium-sized market like Qingye Market, which is jointly operated by several Foundation Establishment families, but rather the property of the Xuanfu Lu family, a Core Formation family.

Anyone who wants to break the rules here, even a rogue cultivator or a fake cultivator, should think twice.

As for the Han family of Xiaozeshan, they didn't even have the qualifications to bribe the Lu family's person in charge of the market.

As for what to do with his cultivation afterward... he naturally put aside alchemy, sold the first-grade mid-level alchemy cauldron he had been using, and went into seclusion in the market for ten years.

Once the Azure Bird has made all the necessary preparations for its advancement, it can directly rent a second-tier spiritual vein to enable it to break through to the next level and evolve into a tertiary-grade demon beast.

Anyway, he's still young, so wasting a few years of cultivation won't matter.

However, Wang Xuan took it all in stride, while Han Changde felt somewhat awkward.

"Hmm? Let's just leave it at that?"

His brow furrowed slightly, and his hand, which had been holding the wine glass, paused for a moment.

Han Changde never expected that Wang Xuan would give up so easily.

Were the conditions he offered very harsh? No, they weren't.

Compared to other immortal clans, the Han family, which has only been established for a short time, is already quite conscientious...

"Young friend, you should think this through carefully. The conditions offered by the Han family are already more than generous. You won't find better conditions anywhere else."

"In fact, if our clan had not been newly established, we probably wouldn't have received such treatment."

"Of course I've thought it through."

Nodding slightly, Wang Xuan explained with a smile:

"Senior may not know, but to me, the sect brought me to the mortal world, taught me cultivation techniques and alchemy, and now I have to pass on its legacy to others. I already feel deeply guilty."

"But with the path to immortality ahead, I can't worry about anything else in order to achieve Foundation Establishment."

"But as the senior said, even if I choose to join the Han family, in order to prevent my blood and qi from surging and flowing backward during the Foundation Establishment attempt, which would cause the loss of my brain's inheritance, I'm afraid the noble family will not give me the opportunity to attempt the Foundation Establishment attempt."

"Since that's the case, why should I work so hard?"

"I still have a mid-grade pill-making cauldron that I brought from the sect. I might as well sell it and that will be enough for me to live a carefree life."

"this……"

For a moment, Han Changde was speechless and gave Wang Xuan a deep look.

He hadn't expected that this young man, while possessing such a deep desire for enlightenment, would also be so open-minded.

Indeed, if a cultivator doesn't care about his future or his descendants, he can live a good life anywhere... But in that case, the task assigned to him by the patriarch would fail.

The windfall that the Han family had was already limited. In order to avoid running out of money, they decided to use the family's medicinal fields as a basis to train alchemists.

In this situation, if another inheritance were to be bought out at a high price, the cost would be extremely high...

"...Young friend, you have a free and easy spirit. I underestimated you."

"Well then, I cannot make a decision on this matter. I must inform the head of the family. Young friend, it is not too late to wait a couple of days."

Slowly speaking, realizing he couldn't make the decision himself, Han Changde prepared to pass the question on to Han Changming, who had already left.

However, recalling what Wang Xuan had just said, he seemed to have noticed something.

"Speaking of which, young friend, what was that mid-grade pill cauldron you mentioned taking from the sect?"

"Naturally, it was bestowed by the sect."

With a smile on his face, Wang Xuan intentionally told the other party this information.

"Shortly before the sect was annihilated, I passed the formal alchemist examination and was assigned an alchemy room by the sect."

"But I never expected that after just borrowing a few jade slips containing insights left by senior members of the sect, the sect would suffer such a calamity... It must be fate."

"..."

Han Changde's eyes twitched. He knew that Wang Xuan had never mentioned the alchemist privileges he was enjoying ahead of time, so Han Changde was unaware of them.

Therefore, he had some doubts when he heard about the mid-grade pill cauldron, but he didn't expect it to be true.

So that's how it is. A formal alchemist... I remember during the last transaction, this junior also mentioned studying mid-grade first-level alchemy.

Judging from the level of skill he displayed when trading with his family at the time, this was nothing more than unrealistic and presumptuous talk. Little did I know that he was deliberately hiding something behind the scenes.

Achieving the rank of formal alchemist in six or seven years would almost certainly qualify a disciple within the sect, and there's a good chance of refining a first-grade high-quality pill before the age of fifty. No wonder he can't let go of his ambition to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

After a moment of contemplation, Han Changde felt an even greater headache.

If Wang Xuan had agreed to his initial conditions, then his alchemy talent would naturally have been as high as possible, but now...

"Young friend, please don't be impatient. I will report this matter to the head of the family later."

"As for the outcome of this matter, I believe the head of the family will make the decision."

Han Changde gave Han Cheng, who had been too afraid to speak, a wink, signaling him to ease the tension. Han Changde then fell silent.

They could not possibly agree to all of Wang Xuan's conditions.

After all, to a cultivation family, no matter how good an outsider is, they are still an outsider and cannot be treated as one of their own.

But Han Changde would certainly not be willing to give up just like that.

……

The important business was temporarily put on hold, and the banquet continued in an awkward atmosphere.

Half an hour later, Wang Xuan left Linhe Tower with Han Cheng seeing him off.

After staying in the private room for a while, Han Changde rubbed his temples.

He didn't originally intend to come to this banquet.

After all, if one wanted to appear more approachable when it came to Wang Xuan's recruitment, it would have been better to have Han Cheng, who had entered the sect in the same year as him, handle the negotiations.

If we want to resolve this quickly, wouldn't it be better to have Han Changming, who has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, handle the negotiations?

No matter how you look at it, this Second Elder just needs to wait for the result.

So the reason this matter ultimately fell on him was actually for another reason...

"Let me marry my granddaughter to that junior, fulfilling the condition of 'Xu's legitimate daughter,' and also making it easier to leave his alchemy lineage in my lineage as a reward from my elder brother..."

"It's ridiculous that I was still hesitating before, but it turns out they don't even look at the Han family."

"The arrogance of a sect disciple, is it? I wonder how long you can remain arrogant."

Shaking his head and sneering, Han Changde walked out of the private room and then knocked on the wooden door next door.

dong dong dong-

"Come in."

Upon hearing this, Han Changde pushed open the door and went straight into the private room next door.
