Immortality: Starting with the Fruit of Taiyin

"Never mind, it's not a big problem, I don't need to worry too much."

"As for Ye Yan, Body Refining, Black Ruler... it's fortunate that he didn't cultivate a fire-attribute technique."

"Otherwise, from now on, I can call him Ye Huohuo."

His expression gradually returned to calm, and after calming down, Wang Xuan also realized what had happened.

Although it was discovered that he knew about the Jade Marrow Yang-Suppressing Pill, it wasn't really a problem.

As an alchemist, what's so strange about knowing the name of a rare second-tier pill?

It is perfectly normal for many alchemical texts to contain overlapping formulas.

To put it bluntly, whether it's a first-order inheritance or the [White Sun Elixir Book], these are all past sect inheritances, not some rare secret transmission.

Wang Xuan was almost certain that, among the descendants of the Southern Hua Sect in Chen State alone, he was by no means the only one who knew how to refine this kind of elixir.

If there's any possibility of his secret being exposed, it's only that he's hidden his talent for alchemy.

He claims to be a mid-grade first-level alchemist, but in reality, he can refine high-grade first-level pills.

Even this is uncertain, because he would never refine the 'Minor Jade Marrow Pill' in front of Ye Yan, and the other party would not be able to determine who refined this pill.

In comparison, the other party's problem is actually bigger...

"Therefore, regardless of whether the body cultivation secret technique Ye Yan mentioned actually exists or is just a fabricated excuse."

"The fact that he achieved Nascent Soul level perception with only the first-level body cultivation is enough to attract a lot of attention."

Even if they are not completely equivalent, but only similar in some aspects, it is enough to arouse the curiosity of a Core Formation cultivator and make them want to study the principles of the secret technique.

"It seems that Ye Yan either has some kind of trump card, or he urgently needs this kind of pill, or both."

"Otherwise, exposing this secret technique would be tantamount to courting death."

Silently pondering, it's difficult to measure the specific value of a secret technique of unknown grade, but it certainly won't be low.

Of course, Wang Xuan had no intention of using this secret to threaten Ye Yan in return.

Everyone was carrying a secret, and no one wanted to run into a high-level cultivator.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the other party seems to be quite sincere.

There was no coercion; at most, it was an inducement.

Moreover, it must be said that Ye Yan really hit the mark with his enticement.

"The corpse of a second-tier demon beast... Excluding the bones used as the main ingredient, the hide can be used to make second-tier talismans, the internal organs can accelerate Xiao Qing's progress in refining her realm after reaching the first-tier perfection, and the flesh and blood can be used to refine the essence."

"The second-tier essence blood we obtained from the sect was reserved for Xiao Qing. Whether it can be upgraded into a grade earth bloodline is the most crucial thing in the short term."

"But if I could get an extra portion of the flesh and blood essence of a second-tier demon beast..."

The sorrow and the blessing of the blessings, the blessings of the blessings.

To refine the "Minor Jade Marrow Pill," one must become a first-grade high-level alchemist, but Wang Xuan is currently only at the mid-grade level of the first grade, which is far from the standard recognized by major powers.

In just a few days, Ye Yan's alchemy skills increased by one and a half realms, which was originally impossible, but he managed to obtain the corpse of a second-tier demon beast.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Xuan knew that his alchemy skills, which had been slow to advance, were about to take a significant step forward.

Using the second-order origin, comprehend the first-order alchemy.

While I'm not entirely sure how much it will improve, it shouldn't be a problem to cross the threshold of Tier 1 High-Grade.

As for whether it's worth it...

"Without the present, there is no future."

Wang Xuan slowly shook his head, his expression calm.

"If you accept payment but can't produce the pills, you're just asking for trouble and making an enemy."

"Besides, second-tier essence blood isn't some kind of strategic resource; it's just expensive."

"Once I have the ability to refine a first-grade high-level breakthrough pill, and with Xiao Qing successfully advancing to ensure my safety, how can I not earn spirit stones?"

"As for Ye Yan... he'd better not have any other intentions."

With a gentle stroke of the blue-shadowed sparrow's feathers on his sleeve, Wang Xuan brought this matter to a close.

There's no need to think about the transaction anymore.

But at the same time, a slight sense of urgency rose from the bottom of his heart.

Once you leave the sect's environment, even if you have a Dao Fruit, all sorts of unexpected things will still happen.

For a rogue cultivator at the bottom of the cultivation world, maintaining stability is a very difficult thing.

In this situation, Xiaoqing's advancement becomes even more important.

The Earth-grade demonic beast 'Void Shadow Sparrow'... What Wang Xuan valued most was never its strength, but its unique bloodline talent.

As one of the true spirits of the Phoenix family, the divine bird Qingluan also possesses the talent of the true spirit Tianfeng to be close to the Great Dao of the Void.

As a descendant of countless generations, the Sky Shadow Sparrow has inherited some of its legacy.

According to ancient records, once this type of earth-grade demon beast reaches the second tier, it can awaken a bloodline talent called "Escape from the Void," which becomes stronger as its strength increases.

As long as Wang Xuan masters this spatial ability, he can retreat with ease when facing high-level cultivators.

It was for this reason that he chose the White Sparrow as his natal demon beast, without considering other possibilities.

……

Several days passed quickly.

As the date approached, more and more members of the Han clan came and went in Dan Pavilion.

The conflict between the Han and Huang families is about to come to an end. Han Changming has done his best to show respect to the people from the Lu family.

However, in terms of foundation, the gap between them and the established Foundation Establishment families is still quite obvious.

So just as Wang Xuan was waiting for the promised second-tier demon beast corpse from Ye Yan to arrive, Han Cheng came knocking on his door first.

"Brother Wang."

There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, clearly indicating that he had been quite busy these past few days, but Han Cheng seemed to be in good spirits.

"I will have to trouble you to accompany me on this trip to welcome the direct descendants of the Lu family."

"Of course, nothing needs to be done, just wait for our fellow Daoist to arrive."

"This isn't a good idea."

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly and politely declined.

"After all, I'm not really a member of the Han family, and quite a few people in the neighborhood know about this."

As a guest alchemist, Wang Xuan theoretically had little room to participate in such a major matter concerning the Han family itself.

However, he also roughly understood the Han family's intentions, which were simply to have him go along to bolster their influence.

This indicates that although the family was established not long ago, it is not just an empty shell, and it even has its own formal alchemists.

"If Brother Wang is willing to go, the Second Elder is willing to provide the ingredients for a batch of Yellow Sprout Pills."

Han Cheng relayed Wang Xuan's refusal directly, not surprised by it.

"3 furnaces."

The price was doubled, and Wang Xuan didn't intend to actually refuse.

Whether he goes or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he is considered a member of the Han family's power, at most a peripheral one.

"it is good."

Without haggling, Han Cheng agreed immediately.

"The Lu family will be arriving in three days. Brother Wang, please remember to make preparations. Do not refine medicine or go into seclusion for the next two days."

"no problem."

Nodding slightly, Wang Xuan was indeed somewhat curious about that direct descendant of the Lu family.
