The sun had just risen. On the streets of Sunrise Town, a young man, clad in an alchemist’s robe, sat atop a formidable dog, as tall as a person, and walked slowly.
The dog’s aura was flamboyant. Its enormous eyes slanted, looking at everything around with disdain.
And the young man on the dog had a jade-like complexion, and his pitch-black eyes were calm and unruffled. Yet, a faint sense of transcendence emanated from him.
He was not arrogant nor aggressive, but anyone who saw him couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence.
Enlightennt Immortal Master!
Old Cao was shocked.
He had a particularly deep impression of this young man in front of him.
He had personally witnessed this person join the Sunrise Daoist Sect, under the protection of several Enlightennt Realm Immortal Masters.
But how long had it been?
The other had already broken through and beco an Enlightennt Immortal Master?
As a Martial Artist determined to join the Sunrise Daoist Sect, he knew how difficult this process was.
Even those with outstanding talent in the Sunrise Daoist Sect stayed at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation for three to five years before they might obtain an Enlightennt Pill to break through.
*Why did he achieve it so quickly? What virtues or abilities did he have?*
Even the dog’s eyes, angled with a hint of disdain, hit Old Cao like a blow to the chest.
Was he being despised?
Looking again, the large dog was already walking past him with its head held high, the sa slanted eyes as if it looked down on everything.
Others naturally also recognized Bai Ziyue, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Alchemist Bai, you are here. Please, co in."
Guu Qingfeng had been waiting at the door for a while. Upon seeing Bai Ziyue, he hurriedly welcod him into the Phoenix Pavilion.
Soon after, upon hearing of Bai Ziyue’s arrival, almost everyone within the Phoenix Pavilion ca to greet him.
Many of these people were not necessarily there for the Enlightennt Pill; mingling and chatting were also part of the reason.
Bai Ziyue, as a newly-promoted Enlightennt Realm Immortal Master who could also refine the Enlightennt Pill as a Second-grade High-tier Alchemist, naturally was soone many would want to make connections with, at least to beco acquainted. Because who knew when they might need to seek his help in the future?
Alchemists were highly respected in the entire Cultivation Realm, and their status was also very high.
Therefore, at this ti, in the Phoenix Pavilion, there were as many as ten or more Enlightennt Realm Immortal Masters, along with so juniors and nephews, totaling over fifty people.
"This is Patriarch Wan Chaoming of the Wan Family, and this is Patriarch Yuu Tingzhi of the Yuu Family..."
Without knowing when, Ye Kaiyang had arrived at Bai Ziyue’s side, helping to introduce him to people.
Bai Ziyue expressed his thanks and began to recognize and converse with them one after another.
Although he was not skilled in these matters, he understood the benefits of forming connections.
"This is Patriarch Ma Zhen of the Ma Family, Ma Chengfu of the Inheritance Hall, and the most outstanding talent of the Ma Family’s current generation, Ma Mingyu."
Bai Ziyue simply nodded as a form of acknowledgnt.
Previously, Ma Chengfu had taken his niece to et him, changing his previous indifference, sincerely apologizing, and even suggesting a marriage arrangent with his niece, Ma Mingyu.
Adhering to the idea that enemies should be resolved rather than made, and given that the other party hadn’t done anything excessive, Bai Ziyue agreed to reconcile.
Of course, by reconciliation, he only ant that neither party would target each other intentionally, and completely smoothing out the relationship depended on the Ma Family’s future actions.
As for the marriage proposal, he firmly rejected it.
Although Ma Mingyu was quite beautiful and rumored to have excellent Immortal Technique talents, Bai Ziyue had his pursuits, focused on enhancing his strength, and had no such thoughts.
Thus, when Ye Kaiyang introduced them, Ma Mingyu’s face was still filled with embarrassnt and resentnt.
Bai Ziyue faced it calmly without minding.
"This is Immortal Master Zhou Yang, and his son Zhou Pengcheng.
Immortal Master Zhou Yang is the Vice Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, a Second-grade High-tier Refiner, and once recorded as refining a top-grade Spiritual Artifact containing the Celestial Spirit Restriction. Truly remarkable."
Looking at an unremarkable old man approaching, Ye Kaiyang hurriedly introduced him.
"Pavilion Master Ye is too kind. Spiritual Artifacts are difficult to refine, and creating a top-grade Spiritual Artifact with Celestial Spirit Restriction is even harder. I was just lucky before. If I were to refine one now, I wouldn’t have any confidence."
Zhou Yang shook his head and then said, "In contrast, Alchemist Bai, being so young and able to refine the Enlightennt Pill, is truly a True Dragon among n, with a boundless future.
My son has been stuck at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation for several years, and if we queued, it would still take three years to get an Enlightennt Pill.
This ti, I hope Alchemist Bai can help by providing an Enlightennt Pill."
"Naturally, it’s no problem."
Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed, and an idea ca to mind. He said, "Speaking of which, the Magical Artifact I use had been damaged in a previous battle.
Since I’ve co across Immortal Master Zhou, it’s fitting to bother him with this. I wish to ask him to help refine a handy Dharma Treasure."
"Oh? I still have a few Spiritual Artifacts from my previous refinents. Although their grades aren’t very high, they’re considered fine. Alchemist Bai, if you find any suitable, feel free to pick one or two to take back."
Zhou Yang’s eyebrows raised, and he quickly said,
"What I want is a custom-made Flying Sword, which I intend to use as my Lifebound Dharma Treasure in the future.
So, it might require Immortal Master Zhou to personally handle it."
Bai Ziyue spoke, flipping his hand to bring out a jade bottle, handing it over, and said, "This Enlightennt Pill can serve as the deposit!
Additionally, in this Storage Bag, there are so materials I’ve occasionally collected, which Immortal Master Zhou may use at his discretion.
If it can beco a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, that would be ideal. If not, I do hope it reaches the level of an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact.
As for the cost, that’s not an issue."
*Bai Ziyue knew that his strength enhancent was much faster than that of a typical Immortal Cultivator.*
*While lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts were most suitable for Enlightennt Realm early-stage Immortal Masters, given his strength realm, once he adapted to lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts, his power could be at the mid-stage or even late-stage Enlightennt Realm level.*
*Relatively lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts wouldn’t match his strength enhancent.*
*So, he simply decided to raise his demands, with top-grade Spiritual Artifacts as the best choice, although he wouldn’t begrudge an upper-grade.*
As for the materials, his collection wasn’t vast; primarily, it consisted of items like star teorites, earlier acquisitions, with the sole valuable piece being the straight ruler he obtained from the Storage Bag of Jiang Wudao, Sect Leader of the Immortal Martial Sect.
The ruler’s original grade was hard to discern due to the collapse of restrictions and loss of spirituality, but Bai Ziyue estimated it was at least upper-grade, maybe even top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
The material itself was definitely of the highest quality.
Of course, its essence could be extracted and integrated into the Flying Sword Spiritual Artifact he was about to refine.
"No problem! Within a month, I’ll have soone notify Alchemist Bai to pick it up."
Zhou Yang appreciated Bai Ziyue’s straightforwardness, quickly nodded in agreent.
Following this, Bai Ziyue also t the master of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Wu Youdao, elite disciple of Sunrise Daoist Sect, Lonely Drunk, Fairy Hongchen, among others in Cloud Mist Mountain Market.
Of course, this ti Zhao Yue’er naturally accompanied her master Zhu Shuixian, the little girl complained Bai Ziyue had forgotten her, only a fair bit of coaxing brought back her smile.
Bai Ziyue hadn’t expected that over ti, Zhao Yue’er’s attachnt to him had grown.
However, what surprised him the most was Zhao Yue’er’s cultivation.
In just two months, she had leapt over the early-stage cultivation phase, becoming an Immortal Cultivator at the First Layer of Qi Cultivation.
No doubt about her extraordinary talent.
After a feast and drink session, the auction officially began.
Bai Ziyue just sat aside, not participating, leaving everything to Ye Kaiyang to handle.
Since he had given Zhou Yang, the Artifact Refiner, an Enlightennt Pill in advance, only five were left for auction, making the competition fiercer.
Right from the start, soone snatched one pill away with thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones.
Soon after, the remaining Enlightennt Pills each fetched at least thirty-eight thousand, with the last one going for forty-five thousand Spirit Stones.
*Even though Bai Ziyue had anticipated such a heated bidding, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.*
However, he soon realized that most of those who bought his Enlightennt Pills were from various major forces.
The Wan Family, Yuu Family, and Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion each purchased one.
As for the Ma Family, perhaps as a retreat and goodwill gesture due to Bai Ziyue’s previous words spread out, they didn’t participate in the bidding.
The remaining two pills were taken by a Zhao Immortal Master from the Internal Affairs Pavilion and Alchemist Tang from the Alchemy Pavilion.
Alchemist Tang was an Initial-Stage Second-grade Alchemist, who had stayed at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation for seven years, and next ti Pavilion Master Qian refined Enlightennt Pills, he would surely have a share.
But since another refining session was three years away, that’s too long a wait for him, thus spending forty thousand Spirit Stones to secure the Enlightennt Pill.
*In his own mind, he was satisfied by this.*
*The good deeds accumulated over seven years were considerable.*
*If he could successfully break through to the Enlightennt Realm, it would all be worth it.*
*Even if he failed, the Enlightennt Pill could still ensure he didn’t fall after charging through the bottleneck. He would still be able to exchange for another Enlightennt Pill and attempt a breakthrough again in three years.*
*Ultimately, it was all for strength, for the Immortal Technique Enlightennt Realm!*
...
"One hundred ninety thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
That’s equivalent to one hundred ninety thousand good deeds..."
After the auction ended, cultivators dispersed in twos and threes, and Bai Ziyue successfully obtained the proceeds from auctioning the Enlightennt Pills, feeling a wave of satisfaction.
One hundred ninety thousand points of good deeds, combined with over ten thousand points on him, amounted to a total of two hundred thousand good deeds, which was considered a fortune for any Enlightennt Realm Immortal Cultivator.
*Even for Bai Ziyue, this mont brought about a sense of opulence.*
...
*Seeking for guaranteed monthly votes, striving to enter the top hundred. Thanks!!*
