In the present Heaven Realm, the price of a Golden Radiance is 30,000 Immortal Coins. To put that into perspective, the savings of most ordinary Immortals in the Heaven Realm do not exceed 5,000. With 10,000 Immortal Coins, one could hire an idle Immortal General, while it usually takes at least three Immortal Generals to cooperate and a dozen ordinary Immortals to hunt a mature Dark Sea Star Clam.
In the past, only one Golden Radiance could be refined from a Dark Sea Star Clam, making hunting them a guaranteed loss. The clams used by Sun Daren this ti were hunted down by Immortal Generals only when the Immortal Venerables issued a task.
But from now on, hunting Dark Sea Star Clams will be a profitable business with a return on investnt of over 50%.
The evaluation took place in the front yard of Raising Hall. Master Hale was unwilling to get involved in the muddy waters, but he was naturally the first to know the result of the evaluation, and he couldn’t help but smile: "General Prudence has lost face this ti."
Feeling very aggrieved, General Prudence returned to the Blind Master Courtyard, with Fairy Xanthe closely following her. The dozen or so fairies accompanying them remained silent, all the way. Without saying a word, General Prudence went back to her room at the highest point of Camille Pavilion and slamd the door shut.
Fairy Xanthe’s face suddenly turned bitter, fearing that she might be the one to suffer this ti... As she was thinking about how to keep the Immortal General from venting her anger on her, another junior sister ca in, "Uh... Tobe Maxwell is back, and he’s challenging General Prudence from across the Void Waterfall!"
Fairy Xanthe was annoyed, "What do you an ’challenging’? It’s not like two armies are confront each other! Tobe Maxwell is also a talent of our Blind Master Courtyard." The junior sister was confused, thinking she had heard wrong, and tilted her head with a puzzled "Huh?!"
From the highest floor, General Prudence coldly asked, "What are you here for?" The question wasn’t ant for the sisters, as her voice reached directly across the Void Waterfall, where Sun Daren replied, "There’s sothing I’d like to remind the Institute Head: it’s not too late to act now."
"What is it?"
"Lock the technology of refining Golden Radiance within Hiram Garden. This would require Master Hale to issue an order, but the Institute Head can make a suggestion. Hunting Dark Sea Star Clams will beco a big business in the future, and if only those in Hiram Garden can refine three radiance, it will bring huge benefits and reputation to the entire Hiram Garden."
General Prudence understood instantly, so she set up a bridge made of clouds to cross over to Raising Hall. Just as she was about to leave, Sun Daren stopped her, "Please hold on, Institute Head. I have a small request: I’d like to have priority in purchasing all the Golden Radiance."
General Prudence frowned, "What do you need so much Golden Radiance for?"
Sun Daren said solemnly, "The ninth challenge on Heaven’s Hanging Wall."
General Prudence instinctively wanted to mock him for being overly ambitious, as the challenges ranked 69 and 9 on the Heaven’s Hanging Wall were incomparable. But who would have believed that Tobe Maxwell could solve the 69th challenge? General Prudence tried to persuade him instead, "13,000 Immortal rit Points is a huge fortune; don’t waste it all in one go."
"Thank you for reminding , Institute Head."
The ninth-ranked challenge on Heaven’s Hanging Wall involves the refinent of a large Immortal Device. The Immortal Cranes and Roc Birds commonly seen in the Heaven Realm and can be summoned as mounts are all small Immortal Devices. The distinction between "large" and "small" in the Heaven Realm lies not just in size but also in power.
Large Immortal Devices have at least the power of a Divine Beast. A key issue involving the use of Golden Radiance to enhance the spirituality of Immortal Devices has not been resolved, hanging high on the ninth place of Heaven’s Hanging Wall.
Tobe Maxwell intended to purchase Golden Radiance to tackle this challenge, which is logically reasonable. The previous challenge won Sun Daren an award of 13,000 Immortal rit Points. Even if he were to invest all of them, as long as he could solve the ninth-ranked challenge, it would still be a huge profit, as the reward for this challenge is as high as 410,000 rit Points!
General Prudence visited Master Hale and suggested sealing the secret thod. As expected, she received praise from Master Hale, who issued an order prohibiting its dissemination. Sun Daren also successfully obtained limited priority for purchasing the Golden Radiance. With all Golden Radiance being refined in Hiram Garden, Sun Daren naturally had the first pick.
For a ti, Sun Daren saw the situation he had anticipated: many Immortals from Hiram Garden ca to visit, from both upper and lower institutes. Soon, other institutes extended olive branches, inviting Sun Daren to switch to their side. "Blind Master Courtyard is full of won, and you wouldn’t feel at ease staying here. Besides, General Prudence is always suspicious."
While receiving these visitors, Sun Daren didn’t hide the fact that he was being suspected by General Prudence and revealed his intention to "find a new master."
After about ten days, Sun Daren finally received the result he was waiting for. One of the Upper Institutes, "Taoism Struggle Academy," sent an invitation to Sun Daren. The Upper Institutes were Master Hale’s trusted confidants, and Sun Daren gladly accepted. The ssenger assured him that their Institute Head, Master Elton, would personally ask General Prudence for Sun Daren, and all he needed to do was submit his resignation to the Blind Master Courtyard.
The reason Sun Daren wanted to get close to Emperor Sebastian’s camp was that the Soul-Devouring Hookworms originated from his school. Now, the Soul-Devouring Hookworms had beco the key for him to seize Master Amos’s Palace Immortal Domain.
Although there seed to be many accidents and coincidences in between, Sun Daren still wanted to try a secret cooperation with Emperor Sebastian’s camp, creating more favorable conditions for seizing Dao Hall Immortal Domain for himself.
Even if he failed, there would be no loss.
