Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The Dharma boat disappeared into the clouds and mist, flying swiftly through the air.

The return journey was much quieter than the way there.

This time.

The members of the Heyin Society suffered heavy losses.

Not only did He Laogui, who was at the second level of Qi Refining, die, but more than half of the members at the first level of Qi Refining were also lost, and those below the Qi Refining level were almost completely wiped out.

Qi Yun Shen stood at the bow of the boat, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, still with that calm and composed demeanor.

Jiang Chuan was counting the pills in his storage bag on one side of the deck.

He gained nothing in this purge; he had only joined halfway through, so naturally he wasn't included when Qi Yunshen distributed the spoils.

A considerable number of pills were distributed.

A rough calculation.

The pills he distributed to the cultivators of the River Yin Society were worth at least 10,000 contribution points.

However, he didn't look disappointed at all; the "Blood God Transformation Technique" alone was worth the price of admission.

At this time.

Qi Yun Shen suddenly walked over.

He sat down opposite Jiang Chuan, took out a pot of spirit wine and two jade cups from his sleeve, filled them, and pushed one cup in front of Jiang Chuan.

"Fellow Daoist Lieyang contributed a lot this time, but didn't get any benefits. As the team leader, I feel a little bad about it."

Jiang Chuan took the jade cup, took a small sip, and found the wine slightly spicy yet mellow.

He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Qi, you're too kind. I only came here to gain some experience. I didn't expect this to happen. It's a miracle that I came back safely."

Qi Yun Shen didn't respond to that. He held his wine glass, his gaze fixed on the sea of ​​clouds outside the deck, and remained silent for a moment before speaking again:

"I wonder if you found the spiritual materials needed for alchemy on your trip?"

That's a rhetorical question.

Jiang Chuan paused slightly, sensing the implication in the other person's words. A look of regret flashed across his face, and he shook his head, saying, "No."

Qi Yun Shen looked ashamed, picked up his wine cup, and said hypocritically, "It's all my fault for not being able to help you, fellow Daoist. I'll punish myself with a cup."

Jiang Chuan raised his glass in return, saying, "It's just bad luck of mine, Senior Brother Qi, you don't need to worry about it."

Qi Yun Shen drank the spirit wine in his cup in one gulp.

Then, with a hint of ambiguity, he said, "The spiritual materials you need are hard to find even in the Immortal Alliance's Myriad Immortal Mirror. But do you know that there are some underground markets within the Immortal Alliance that are not open to the public?"

Jiang Chuan raised his eyelids.

coming.

He had heard from Ma Yuankui before that the three major forces of the outer sect each controlled their own private markets, but they had been struggling to find a way to do so.

As the president of the Heyin Association, Qi Yunshen naturally held such resources in his hands.

The fact that they brought it up at this moment clearly indicates their intention to win them over.

This suited him perfectly.

"What you can't buy in the Myriad Immortals Mirror, you can find there," Qi Yun Shen continued, his tone guiding, "Whether it's rare high-grade spiritual materials or certain... forbidden items, as long as you can afford the price, someone will be able to get your hands on them."

He looked at Jiang Chuan: "I happen to know about an underground market like this. It's said that the market was set up by several inner sect prodigies and has a very deep background."

"The entry requirements are also high."

"Ordinary disciples, without connections, don't even have the right to know."

"Of course, given your status, you are certainly not an ordinary disciple. If you are interested, I can introduce you to someone."

Since joining the Immortal Alliance, Jiang Chuan's biggest worry has been that he has earned a large number of contribution points but can't spend them.

You can only buy ordinary quality junk on the Mirror of Immortals.

At this point, a way out was found.

Naturally, I didn't want to miss it.

Jiang Chuan put down the jade cup and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Qi."

Qi Yun Shen smiled and said, "With your alchemy skills, you might enter the inner sect even earlier than me. At that time, I might be the one asking you for help."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "We are all from the same sect, so it is only right that we help each other out."

Qi Yun Shen laughed twice, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He didn't say anything more, left Jiang Chuan a communication jade talisman, and quickly got up and left.

……

a few days later.

Fazhou has finally returned to the Immortal Alliance.

Jiang Chuan bid farewell to everyone and returned to Yuanling Mountain on his own.

The fog had not yet dissipated on the mountain path. He continued up the winding mountain road, occasionally encountering a few familiar servants along the way, who all bowed their heads and hurriedly greeted him.

He kept walking.

He was still thinking about the underground market.

Qi Yunshen mentioned that the underground market opens every so often, and the next opening date is in seven days.

However, transactions in this underground market are usually barter.

He wants to buy what he needs.

Contribution points alone are not enough.

You need to prepare at least some items of sufficient value for the transaction.

Thinking this, he returned to Jia Jiu Dan Room. Upon arriving at his own room, he immediately saw Amu looking anxious.

Hearing footsteps, Amu suddenly raised his head and rushed forward as if he had been waiting for a savior.

"Master Lie, you're finally back!"

Jiang Chuan remained calm and said indifferently, "I was only gone for half a month. What happened to make you so flustered?"

Amu said with a bitter face, "In the half month you were gone, the alchemy room accumulated more than seventy commissions. Some of them have already exceeded the commission period, and some people who couldn't wait have already gone to the alchemy pavilion to complain."

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. "I already informed the alchemy department before I left, so why are there still so many urgent orders being assigned to me?"

Amu exclaimed indignantly, "Isn't it all because of that alchemist Zhong who's been pulling strings behind the scenes!"

"While you were away, she conspired with the alchemy manager to deliberately assign urgent orders to our alchemy department!"

"This is clearly a deliberate attack on you! They're trying to drag down your performance in the chief evaluation!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan frowned even more deeply.

Zhong Qiyu.

This person was even more impatient than he had expected.

He never intended to compete for the top position; he would just let things take their course during the six-month probationary period.

But Zhong Qiyu is so petty and narrow-minded that she would take advantage of his absence to report on him even when he was away for half a month.

If she really gets the top position...

later.

There's probably no peace to be had in this Jia Jiu Dan room.

He initially didn't want to bother with this stupid woman because of his previous assumptions.

It's perfectly normal for cultivators to have some disagreements. He's not the type to hold grudges. As long as the other party doesn't get in his way, he'll just let things slide.

But now it seems that there are some things he can't avoid just because he wants to.

Jiang Chuan raised his eyelids and looked at Amu.

"Come with me."

He gave a brief instruction and then went upstairs.

When Amu heard this perfectly ordinary greeting, his expression faltered slightly, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes, and he stood there motionless for a long time.

Jiang Chuan had already stood up and was walking towards the second floor. After taking a few steps, he stopped and glanced at Amu.

"What's wrong?"

Amu was startled by his gaze and quickly lowered his head, jogging to catch up: "No...nothing, disciple is coming right away."
