Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Old Man Ge looked Song Daoxuan over with great interest: "Young friend Daoxuan, you've purchased so many Qi Gathering Pills from me over the years. Won't you buy some more for your family's elders this time?"

Ge Tongli has determined that Song Daoxuan is not an ordinary family cultivator of the Song family, and that the person behind him is likely a Foundation Establishment stage family cultivator of the Song family of Qinglian Island.

In Old Ge's eyes, only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can truly be called immortals, having mastered the four stages of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining qi into the Dao. As for Qi Refining cultivators, their magical power is so weak that they cannot even fly on a sword.

Song Daoxuan shook his head, indicating that his family elders would not ask him to buy the Gathering Breath Pill at the market for the foreseeable future.

In fact, what Ge Tongli didn't know was that all the Gathering Breath Pills that Song Daoxuan purchased in Yunmeng Market, as well as the pills he sold, all belonged to him. As for the Foundation Establishment stage backer behind Song Daoxuan, that was a completely unfounded thing.

"Fellow Daoist Ge, I am quite interested in this so-called Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering. Do you have any way of obtaining a Cloud Dream Immortal Token?"

"Young friend Dao Xuan, I'm very sorry. Given our friendship, if I could truly obtain this Cloud Dream Immortal Token, I would certainly not fail your trust. However, the key issue is that none of the Foundation Establishment cultivators I know are willing to exchange the Cloud Dream Immortal Token for spirit stones. After all, once one truly becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the desire for spirit stones is not as intense as that of a Qi Refining cultivator!"

"As for the Yunmeng Immortal Token, once the owner doesn't use it, they can't obtain a second one. Therefore, the number of these so-called Yunmeng Immortal Tokens in circulation in the cultivation world of Yunmeng Prefecture is basically zero!"

Upon hearing Ge Tongli's words, Song Daoxuan's expression darkened. Could it be that he had no choice but to ask one of the Foundation Establishment stage elders in his family for a Cloud Dream Immortal Token? But even if these elders were willing to give it to him, he wanted to buy a substitute for the Gathering Breath Pill at the Immortal Gathering, which would cost a lot of spirit stones. How would he explain the origin of these spirit stones to the other family elders?

After all, a Qi Refining cultivator from a small Foundation Establishment cultivation family only receives a meager two or three low-grade spirit stones a year. Even if they occasionally go out to kill some demonic beasts and obtain some rare spiritual plants and herbs, they would not have extra spirit stones to spend in a place like the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering.

"But doesn't your family have several Foundation Establishment cultivators? They should have some items like the Cloud Dream Immortal Token, right..."

"Alas! Fellow Daoist Ge, you truly do not know. I have a difficult matter to discuss and do not wish to trouble the elders of my clan!" As he spoke, an extremely troubled expression appeared on Song Daoxuan's face.

"Actually, I have a way that I can try. I know a Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivator, Senior Zhou Yunlan of Baiyun Manor. He is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has no sons, only a daughter. His daughter is very weak and suffers from a congenital disease. Every full moon night, her body feels like it is in an ice cellar, and the cold air is piercing. We have consulted all the world's best doctors, but they are still helpless against this disease."

"If you, young friend, have a way to help this woman cure her illness, or even alleviate it, then this senior will be overjoyed and it would be only right that he bestows the Cloud Dream Immortal Token upon you..."

Song Daoxuan's expression immediately darkened slightly. He thought to himself that he was now a top-tier alchemist of the first rank. The medical arts that ordinary people revered were nothing more than a piece of cake for an alchemist like him who was well-versed in pharmacology.

The owner of Baiyun Manor is himself at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He must have tried everything he could to help his daughter cure this illness. As for me, a first-level alchemist, going there won't be any loss for me.

At that moment, Song Daoxuan expressed his desire to visit Baiyun Manor.

Song Daoxuan bid farewell to Ge Tongli, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to Yunmeng Market again, first to purchase a satisfactory high-grade offensive magic weapon and a high-grade defensive magic weapon.

After all, over the years, by using the Purple Dew from the Qi Gathering Gourd to cultivate spiritual plants and medicines, and by secretly selling some pills to Ge Tongli, Song Daoxuan had already amassed over a thousand low-grade spirit stones, making him one of the wealthiest Qi Refining cultivators.

Such a status is comparable to that of some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the cultivation world.

He arrived at the Su Shu Refining Pavilion and saw the girl from back then, Yun Su Shu, again. However, after years of experience, the girl had lost some of her childishness and gained a more mature charm. She was wearing a white dress, with a slender figure and a flawless, fair oval face.

"Fellow Daoist, this isn't your first time visiting this Refining Pavilion, is it? If you have anything you like, feel free to choose. All the magical artifacts in my Su Shu Refining Pavilion are genuine and of high quality, and they are all renowned masterpieces in Yunmeng Prefecture!" Yun Su Shu's three thousand strands of hair were tied up with only a wooden hairpin, making her appear lazy and casual.

"I intend to purchase two top-grade magic artifacts. If you could offer a discount, I might just place my order with your establishment!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Sushu's pretty face lit up with joy. She loudly called over a robust, naked old man and whispered something in his ear. However, the old man looked incredulous upon hearing this.

"Grandpa, this fellow Daoist wants to buy two high-grade magic weapons from our weapon-refining pavilion. This is a big deal. When I get to the specifics later, please explain the weapon-refining process to this fellow Daoist. We must make him interested in the items in our weapon-refining pavilion."

"This sword is called the Blazing Fire Sword. It contains the Fire Elemental Ore that is abundant in our Great Li Kingdom. Once a cultivator infuses it with their magic power, this sword will be imbued with a flaming sword beam about ten feet long. Once it hits its target, it can inflict powerful burning damage on the enemy..."

"This sword is called the Azure Water Sword. It is forged from a rare water-attribute ore. This sword is highly malleable and flexible, and it also comes with a special water-attribute sword shield, which can easily withstand a fatal attack from a cultivator of the same level!"

"............"

Yun Sushu explained many high-grade magic weapons to Song Daoxuan, but none of them satisfied him. In the end, Song Daoxuan's gaze actually fell on a long sword with a bright green hilt that resembled a blue lotus flower.

"Fellow Daoist, this sword isn't just a high-grade magic weapon. It's the finest wood-attribute magic sword my grandfather painstakingly forged over many years—the Azure Lotus Sword. Its blade is light and agile, capable of unleashing a sharp sword light in an instant, killing cultivators within several meters. It's a rare, top-tier magic weapon, but its exorbitant price deters many cultivators who wish to purchase it. However, if you wish to buy it, we will not budge an inch!"
