Chapter 304 Emperor Bing Chan: We must find Junior Brother as soon as possible!
In the Cave Mansion of the Supreme of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
Mu Yinghua, dressed in magnificent attire and with a dignified demeanor, sat on a large cloud bed. A majestic aura surrounded her, and her graceful figure was enveloped in brilliant light and mist, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
This is the image that the Supreme of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace presents to the outside world. Under the effect of special restrictions, apart from Qin Muling and a few female empresses, no one can see her true appearance.
"...Supreme, is there really no room for negotiation?" Yun Tianyi, who was sitting below, looked somewhat helpless. He had been persuading her for nearly half an hour, but this female Supreme, Qin Muling's master, remained unmoved and insisted on her principles, which made him feel frustrated.
"My stance is simple. The alliance between the two families can be considered in principle, but the additional conditions you want are non-negotiable. Regardless of whether Qin Muling can return safely or not, your request to have separate contact with him is impossible to accept." Mu Yinghua's tone was calm, her voice round and cold, pleasing to the ear.
"Are you saying, Supreme, that Junior Brother Qin will soon be able to escape from the Ruins of the Return?" Yun Tianyi keenly grasped the key issue.
"The high-level members of the sect have decided to make every effort to rescue him. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on fate," Mu Yinghua said calmly.
"..." Yun Tianyi sighed in frustration. This Supreme really didn't reveal any information at all.
Of course, he could understand. This special existence, which concerns the rise and fall of the sect, naturally needs to be protected with all their might. It would be best if they could avoid contact with the outside world.
But from the perspective of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, only after seeing Qin Muling with their own eyes and confirming certain things can the high-level members of the sect make a determined decision to form a deep strategic alliance with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
This move is equivalent to staking the future and destiny of the sect. Without sufficient certainty, the high-level members of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect will not take risks easily.
However, it seems that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is not particularly concerned about this. Obviously, the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect's actions were a step too late, so now the conditions Yun Tianyi has put forward no longer have such great appeal to them.
"Alright, if we can provide more high-grade pill resources to your side in the future, Supreme, can you be flexible?" Yun Tianyi thought for a moment and made another suggestion.
"How much more?" Mu Yinghua asked.
"On the basis of the current scale, increase it by ten times or twenty times! And any future orders from your side will be given priority. If you are willing, we can even stop selling any pills to the hostile sects of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the future."
"This condition is not bad," Mu Yinghua's voice contained a hint of a smile. "But I suppose your side doesn't currently have the ability to undertake such a large order, right? How do you plan to solve this?"
The refinement of high-grade pills is time-consuming and laborious. Even with the assistance of time acceleration arrays, the loss of lifespan for high-level alchemists is real. Moreover, the probability of failure in refining is high, and alchemists with slightly lower cultivation levels are unwilling to try, as it is not worth the effort.
Although the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect is a sect specialized in this field, according to the information available to the outside world, they only have a few dozen Great Principle level or above alchemists in their sect. Even if they abandon other matters and tirelessly refine pills day and night, it would be impossible for them to meet the demands of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
"So, do we need to order another batch of herbal resources, a large quantity specifically for healing and life-prolonging purposes? Can you provide that?" Yun Tianyi said, taking out the jade slip prepared by the elders in advance. Inside was a detailed list of herbal purchases.
An elder from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace stepped forward, took a quick look, confirmed that there were no issues, and then handed it to Mu Yinghua.
Mu Yinghua looked over the list and glanced up at him. "These things are for healing the elders who are sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm, right?"
"That's right. As long as they recover successfully, it will meet your needs," Yun Tianyi didn't hide this fact. In the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, there are also tens of thousands of supreme elders who are either heavily injured or on the verge of their life force depleting, so this large quantity of resources is prepared for them.
Ninety percent of the resources on the list are Divine Medicine, mostly over 300,000 years old, with the remaining being Heavenly Medicine. The total value is unimaginably high.
In the past, even if they opened the strategic inventory of the Dao Court, it would not be easy to gather such a batch of resources. However, for the current Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, there is basically no pressure.
If it was just for healing and life-prolonging, it would be a piece of cake for Qin Muling. But now he cannot help the supreme elders of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, so Yun Tianyi can only settle for second best and purchase these resources, even though the process may be troublesome, the effect is not much different.
"Alright, this matter is approved by this palace. You can exchange enough medicinal resources," Mu Yinghua nodded slightly, confirming the matter.
From the perspective of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, having an ally sect that can provide a large quantity of medicinal resources in the long term is definitely beneficial. Apart from the benefits on Qin Muling's side that they cannot share, other matters can be negotiated.
...
One day later, the envoy fleet of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect left the main altar of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, loaded with a large amount of rare herbal resources.
"...Young Master, we've gained quite a lot of good things from them this time!" A pair of bright-eyed and white-toothed female cultivators walked over, their smiles radiant and sunny. They were dressed in elaborate and beautiful palace gowns, one in pure black and the other in snow white.
And their figures were extremely dominant, especially the snow-white bosoms, which were almost unreasonably large, creating a strong visual impact.
Yun Tianyi nodded. To be able to obtain so many Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine resources in one trade, this is a good thing that the sect has not encountered in millions of years. It is indeed worth being happy about.
"It's a pity that we didn't get to see Junior Brother Qin Muling, which is a bit regrettable," he said with some regret.
The twin sisters blinked their beautiful eyes, and the girl in the white dress on the left said, "According to the elders' speculation, he seems to be the luck child of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the key figure to pass through this calamity. Could it be true?"
"This is already obvious, right?" Yun Tianyi said, "If it weren't the case, why would I insist on meeting him? It's just that the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace also understands his importance, so they insist on not letting him meet outsiders, fearing that we will undermine their position."
The girl in the black dress on the right pondered, "We are probably not the first sect to make this request. Those forces will eventually notice him and come knocking on our door one after another. Let's see how Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace handles it."
Yun Tianyi said, "Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is no longer the weak and impoverished state it used to be. With Emperor Xin Yu in charge and the alliance with several other female cultivation sects, no force will be able to covet their interests. "
"Fortunately, our Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect only focuses on business and doesn't pay much attention to these grudges. No trouble ever finds its way to us. Since cooperating with them can bring us great benefits, let's maintain this relationship well!"
At this moment, an elder walked over and handed a jade pendant to Yun Tianyi.
Yun Tianyi took it and examined it briefly, then chuckled, "As expected, the people from the Cangyun Treasure Rock Sect are also coming. They're really following right behind us!"
The Cangyun Treasure Rock Sect is one of the top-tier artifact sects in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. They excel in mining and treasure hunting, refining Law Treasure Spiritual Treasures of different grades, and creating powerful one-time-use Law Weapons. Their status is comparable to that of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, both being supreme-level forces skilled in business and extremely wealthy.
The girl in the white dress smiled, "The strengthened Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will definitely not refuse to purchase a large quantity of Law Weapons. But... what kind of generous conditions can they offer to satisfy the Cangyun Treasure Rock Sect? Could it be that their sect can produce a large amount of rare spiritual mineral resources?"
"Who knows? Maybe that's the case!"
Yun Tianyi sighed. He found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through this female cultivation sect. Perhaps they possessed even more powerful cards than he had originally imagined?
And the Cangyun Treasure Rock Sect was not the end. The sects specializing in talismans, formations, mechanical puppets, and spirit pets would also come running to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace endlessly.
The world is bustling, all for the sake of profit; the world is crowded, all for the sake of seeking profit.
As long as this female cultivation force can provide them with enough resources in exchange for benefits, in the long run, it is possible that a super alliance with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace at its center will be born, surpassing even the current Dao Court.
Hmm, by then, the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect could also occupy a good position in this alliance, right?
"Let's not talk about that," the girl in the black dress held Yun Tianyi's arm and smiled charmingly, "Husband, you promised last time to ask the Supreme Elder to refine a batch of 'Great Ease Heaven Mending Pills' for us sisters, to improve our Dao Foundation aptitude and enhance our innate potential. It's time to fulfill that promise, right?"
The Great Ease Heaven Mending Pill belongs to the Immortal Grade high-level spirit pill, approaching the level of the Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill. Its effect is similar to that of the Profound Clear Good Fortune True Spirit Pill, but of higher grade. In theory, it can even have an effect on Quasi-Saint Emperors.
It can not only heal injuries to the Great Dao, but also elevate a useless person to the level of a monstrous genius. If one already has outstanding aptitude, the effect will undoubtedly be even better. It also has the miraculous effect of enhancing one's fate and fortune.
However, such a heaven-defying treasure pill can only be attempted by a Great Principle level Supreme Elder, and the required herbal ingredients are quite rare. Even with the foundation of the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, there hasn't been a new batch of Great Ease Heaven Mending Pills in the past hundreds of thousands of years.
Yun Tianyi smiled, "With so many Heavenly Medicines obtained this time, we can gather enough materials for ten batches of Great Ease Heaven Mending Pills. When we return, we'll have the Patriarch personally refine them, and we'll each get one."
...
Over the next month or so, emissary teams from various supreme-level forces arrived one after another, making the main hall of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace bustling and lively.
Mu Yinghua naturally received them one by one. Those who wanted to do business or seek other types of cooperation could discuss fair and mutually beneficial plans.
As for those who wanted to freeload, deceive, or secretly undermine, they were all immediately driven away.
With five Quasi-Saint Emperors as their backing, the current Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was no longer afraid of any force's provocation or threat. They could simply turn hostile and go to war if necessary. Who would be afraid of whom?
In the continuous influx of visitors, Qin Muling naturally couldn't show herself and could only continue to cultivate in seclusion with her senior sisters, using the Time Acceleration Array to greatly enhance their cultivation.
It wasn't until the last wave of visitors left that Qin Muling, with a weak waist and floating steps, finally managed to escape from the tender embrace of her senior sisters and walked out of the Cave Mansion.
The endless exploitation, while bringing Qin Muling extreme pleasure, also exhausted her to the extreme.
The rewards were abundant. The cultivation of her senior sisters had all significantly increased. Princess Long Yi had already crossed the threshold of the Thirty-second Grade Golden Immortal and could start considering breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Even Su Yuanzhen had reached the level of a Third Grade Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Feng Xia was a Twenty-second Grade Golden Immortal, Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan was currently a Sixteenth Grade Golden Immortal, and the progress of Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Huan was similar to hers. The weakest, Qi Shuyu and Su Yunmo, had cultivations no lower than the Tenth Grade Golden Immortal.
This was not surprising. Apart from the difference in their cultivation levels before following Qin Muling, the number of Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhymes that the women could obtain during their closed-door dual cultivation process could not be evenly distributed, so it was understandable that their cultivation progress was inconsistent.
"Alright, after changing clothes, let's continue to help those senior sisters transcend their tribulations!"
Xue Bingxuan, who had put on her clothes, appeared behind Qin Muling. The red clouds on her stunning face had not yet faded, and her charming and beautiful appearance was filled with a spring-like allure. The shimmering waves in her dark and beautiful eyes embraced him as she spoke softly.
"Okay."
Qin Muling agreed.
...
Genesis Star Palace.
Beside the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond, the light and radiance were dazzling, and auspicious colors rose, filling the air with crystal clear brilliance and pure spiritual energy.
"You've made a breakthrough, junior sister?"
Emperor Bing Chan looked at Ye Xinglan, who had just come out of seclusion, with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, my realm has stabilized. It's all thanks to little junior brother!"
The beautiful white-haired female sword immortal nodded, and even in her cold voice, there was a hint of joy.
This woman, dressed in pure white Daoist robes, with even her long hair as white as snow, was named Ye Xinglan. Her stunning appearance was as unchanging as eternal ice. After a period of seclusion, she had finally crossed that barrier and achieved the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit with an unquestionable certainty.
In the past, within a three-foot radius around her, there was only a chilling Sword Intent. Faintly, there were billions of sword shadows, capable of easily annihilating powerful Great Principle experts, emitting a terrifying pressure. But at this moment, these sword auras that were difficult to control were nowhere to be seen, and all her magical powers and divine abilities were perfectly contained within her body.
"These lotus seeds with such miraculous effects, I wonder if little junior brother still has any left."
Dongfang Zhihan muttered to herself. After discussing with Senior Sister Bing Chan, they had given the third lotus seed to Ye Xinglan, which was also the key reason for her successful breakthrough.
Emperor Bing Chan pondered and said, "There can't be too many of these rare treasures of heaven and earth. However, our top priority is to find little junior brother as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he is captured by outsiders, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
