Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 564 - 312: Results and Gains, Sprinting for Six Inches!

At that moment, the True Monarch of Yin and Yang spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Daoist Jin Wuchen, isn’t this a bit unfair? Why is my Demon Pill so much inferior in quality compared to theirs?"

Jin Wuchen stood with his hands behind his back, already disinclined to answer anything at this point.

Ji Feng had no choice but to respond casually: "Daoist Yin Yang, it was taken randomly, just coincidentally. It seems your luck is not great, no need to worry too much."

"..."

The True Monarch of Yin and Yang fell silent for a moment. How could he not understand Ji Feng’s perfunctory reply? However, as it concerned his own interests, he could only argue based on logic: "Since this is the case, I would like to have the one originally reserved for the Cangjian True Monarch, perhaps it might be slightly better than the one I have..."

Ji Feng frowned.

However, the one originally reserved for the Cangjian True Monarch was also a Middle-Lower Quality Demon Pill, similar to what the True Monarch of Yin and Yang held. Ji Feng immediately reached into the Qiankun Bag to take it out.

"Enough with the nonsense, take it or leave it, I haven’t even settled the score with you for attacking me earlier!"

At this moment, Jin Wuchen’s icy gaze fell on the True Monarch of Yin and Yang, feeling affronted, daring him to bargain.

"Fine, then it’s like I never mentioned it."

The True Monarch of Yin and Yang was adaptable, directly storing the Middle-Lower Quality Demon Pill into his Qiankun Bag, merely attempting to strive for a bit; failing in that, so be it.

Now, the realization dawned upon him.

It seemed Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch had secretly struck some deal with Jin Wuchen and Ji Feng, thus receiving Demon Pills of higher quality.

At least he had reaped a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast Core, which was reasonably acceptable, he conceded.

"Alright, the three of you may leave."

Gold Wuchen spoke indifferently.

"In that case, Daoist Jin Wuchen, Daoist Ji Feng, we shall take our leave. If there’s anything similar in the future, please invite us again."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan and the other two naturally followed Jin Wuchen’s lead, each saying their farewells.

Then transformed into three rays of Escape Light, shooting towards the distant horizon.

Ji Feng watched the three leave, then turned to look at the expressionless Jin Wuchen standing with his hands behind his back, hesitated for a bit, and stepped closer to Jin Wuchen, asking:

"Senior Brother Jin, this time... what should we do?"

Jin Wuchen gazed straight ahead, not looking at Ji Feng: "What else can we do, the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon is already lost, so we must return to the Celestial North State honestly to report to the Senior Brother, hoping the punishment won’t be too severe."

"I have no interest in dealing with the matter of the Cangjian True Monarch, but his disrespect towards our Ancient Spirit Sect cannot be easily forgiven, you stay behind and handle it, Cangjian Pavilion must be severely damaged."

"Also..."

At this point, Jin Wuchen glanced at Ji Feng again, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "In the future, without my permission, don’t come within ten zhang of me."

Whizz!

As the words fell, Jin Wuchen transformed into a Golden Rainbow, shooting towards the distant horizon.

Watching the distant departure of the Golden Rainbow, Ji Feng stood alone atop the stone cliff, his expression shifting like the flicker of a flame, statue-like and silent.

...

Two rays of Escape Light headed back in the direction of the Myriad Flowers Hall.

The figures within the rays were none other than Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch.

As for the True Monarch of Yin and Yang, once he left the stone cliff, he fled far away as if afraid Qi Chuan and Qingyun might attack him.

"Junior Disciple Qi Chuan, did the task succeed?"

After leaving the Broken Spirit Mountain Range, Qingyun True Monarch conveyed the inquiry to Qi Chuan.

Even now, he remained bewildered about what had transpired within the Broken Spirit Mountain Range.

"It did."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan smiled slightly, then slowly explained the events within the Broken Spirit Mountain Range one by one.

After listening, Qingyun True Monarch found it somewhat peculiar: "That’s quite a coincidence, this matter is extraordinary, regardless of how Jin Wuchen and Ji Feng ponder, they probably won’t understand what transpired."

"By the way, what exactly was inside the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon’s belly?"

"Hmm... it was a Demon Pearl of Great True Monarch Level, I’ll show it to Senior Brother when we return," said Qi Chuan.

"A Demon Pearl of Great True Monarch Level, that’s indeed a rare and precious resource, no wonder the Ancient Spirit Sect valued it so highly, willing to pay any price to obtain it..." Qingyun True Monarch couldn’t help but be amazed upon hearing this.

Whizz whizz!

Amidst their conversation, the two rays of Escape Light disappeared into the distant horizon.

After some time, Qi Chuan and Qingyun finally returned to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

Returning to the Myriad Flowers Hall, they sat at separate positions atop the grand hall, Qi Chuan then took out the gold-threaded purple Demon Pearl, half the size of a fist, placed it in front of Qingyun True Monarch.

Qingyun True Monarch received the Demon Pearl and observed it closely, his eyes full of amazement.

"Indeed, it’s a Demon Pearl of Great True Monarch Level!"

"And, according to my observation, the species and tier of this demon before it died were quite unusual..."

Qingyun True Monarch pointed to the golden-threaded patterns on the Demon Pearl’s surface: "These gold-threaded patterns resemble nothing I’ve ever seen on other demon pearls’ surfaces. However, I’ve seen quite a good Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Pearl before."

"That one was mostly black, with purple-threaded patterns on the surface similar to these purple ones on this Demon Pearl..."

"Indeed, I think it’s just as Senior Brother Qingyun speculates..." Qi Chuan nodded in agreement.

Senior Brother Qingyun had seen a lot, his insight would not be inferior to mine, naturally, he could discern quite a bit.

Nevertheless, if Senior Brother Qingyun knew I also have a pure gold Tier Five Demon Pearl, who knows what kind of expression he’d have then.

"This Great True Monarch Demon Pearl, you should keep it safe..."

Qingyun True Monarch played with it for a while, then returned the gold-threaded purple Demon Pearl to Qi Chuan.

He then said: "Moreover, the Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pill I hold, I’ll give it to you, as it will be most valuable in your possession."

With that, taking the Jade Box from the Qiankun Bag, he pushed it in front of Qi Chuan.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingyun!"

Qi Chuan didn’t stand on ceremony, thanked him, and accepted the Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pill.

Over the years, Senior Brother Qingyun had frequently offered me high-tier materials, and I also often gifted him Tier Four Middle-Lower Grade Elixirs and Talismans.

In terms of value, it wouldn’t be less than the high-tier materials Senior Brother Qingyun provided.

This time, in addition to acquiring a Demon Pearl of Great True Monarch Level, I also obtained two Upper Middle Quality Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pills, allowing me to refine two batches of Nascent Soul Pills, extending the use considerably.

"Next, it’s all about aggressively pursuing the height of Nascent Soul, until reaching five inches and ninety-nine, even... six inches!"

Qi Chuan raised his eyes, gazing at the distant beauty outside the Myriad Flowers Hall, a glint of light in his eyes.

Originally, I still had a few Nascent Soul Pills remaining.

Now, with two batches of Nascent Soul Pills replenished, I certainly won’t lack them.

Thus, the future definitely demands aggressively pursuing cultivation.

Regarding the Ancient Spirit Sect, now that Jin Wuchen and Ji Feng are already perfectly deceived, there’s no need for concern in the short term.

Once I advance to the Realm of the Great True Monarch in the near future, this matter will become a triviality.

If the Ancient Spirit Sect remains unconvinced by Jin Wuchen’s inferiority, the Great True Monarch-level Qi Chuan will not mind sparring with the first Supreme Elder of the Ancient Spirit Sect to see what he’s made of.

Lastly, there’s another small matter neither Qi Chuan nor Qingyun True Monarch mentioned.

That is the entanglement between Cangjian True Monarch and the Ancient Spirit Sect.

Because this matter, regardless of how the Ancient Spirit Sect handles it, will inevitably end with the loss to Cangjian Pavilion, and irrespective of the magnitude of the losses, no matter the outcome, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect stands as the beneficiary.

Moreover, now the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect boasts a dual Nascent Soul Middle Stage, with a Quasi-Great True Monarch present.

Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion, such factions are long dismissed as threats by the duo.

Thus... this is indeed a minor affair, requiring no further effort or contemplation from either of them.
