Chapter 262 – The deal. Saving for a rainy day.
Chapter 262 – Deal A rainy day
In the past hundred and eighty years, the Wanxian Palace had suffered great losses, and the successive failures had been so many that the Wanxian Palace’s many years of heritage had been a bit too much to bear, and if such a declining trend was not changed, the Wanxian Palace might be heading for a decline.
“Therefore, the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace has set its sights on the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s underpinnings.”
“Swallowing the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, no, as long as a part of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain is swallowed, the power of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace will be able to restore its full strength, and even surpass the peak of that year.”
Su Yu’s eyes condensed.
Huang Candle looked at him and said, “What do you want?”
Su Yu thought for a long time and said, “Give a helping hand to the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, however, not manpower, but material resources, whether it is pills or talismans or formations, fourth rank and below, open supply.”
“As long as the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain takes resources in exchange, it will be given.”
Huang Candle frowned lightly as he looked at Su Yu, “You’re not afraid of angering the Floating Buddha Sect as well as the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace?”
Su Yu laughed, “Without that, could it be that the Floating Buddha Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace would live in peace with my Earth Immortal Mansion? Impossible.”
“So what if it angers, and what if it doesn’t.”
“Helping the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, making good karma with the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, and incidentally earning a little bit of resources to come back and grow the Immortal Sect itself, and also slowing down the difficulty of the Faustus Buddha Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace in taking down the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, and letting them lose even more.”
“Multiple benefits in one move.”
This matter was then discussed in the Immortal Sect’s great hall at a meeting of the Divine Separation Ancestors, and it was passed with multiple votes in favor of opening up trade with Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain in the form of trading in aid of resources such as pills, talismans, formations, and so on.
Although this might cause dissatisfaction between the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace and the Faustus Buddhist Sect, everyone was actually on the same level in terms of strength, and by doing so, the Faustus Buddhist Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace had already threatened the survival of the Earth Immortal Mansion.
Even if the Earth Immortal Mansion pretends to be dead and can’t see it, until the moment the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain collapses, the next one, whose turn will it be?
This was something that could not be avoided.
Dissatisfied?
Before taking down the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain, Faustus Buddha Sect and Ten Thousand Immortals Palace absolutely dare not say anything, dissatisfaction can only be held back.
Otherwise lead to the Earth Immortal Palace, then perhaps the other immortal sects of the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World will also come down to join forces, then the situation may be reversed.
While sending people to contact the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain, Su Yu, Fan Xiao, Tian Yu Daoist, Huang Candle, as well as the First Elder of the Palace of Affairs, True Lord Chang Bai Yu, the First Elder of the Dark Palace of the Earth Immortal, True Lord Zhao Zang Feng, and other ten or so core elders of the Inner Mansion gathered together to discuss the matter.
Fan Shin asked, “Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, what are the resources and treasures that our Earth Immortal Mansion needs, or wants?”
The Earth Immortal Dark Hall, the institutional power in charge of the Earth Immortal Mansion’s intelligence, and the First Elder, True Lord Zhao Zangfeng, looked like a short, thin, slightly chubby, and slightly lewd old man.
He smiled and said, “The most important treasure of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain is naturally the Nine Spirit Immortal Seal, which is a top-grade magic treasure left behind by the founding ancestor of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, and is also the present-day mountain-suppressing treasure of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.”
“Rumor has it that this Nine Spirit Immortal Seal can seal the true spirits of nine demonic beasts, each of which may have a cultivation level of the Divine Separation Realm, or even the Cave Void Realm.”
“Of course, with the current capabilities of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, it is estimated that it is impossible to seal the true spirits of demonic beasts of the Cave Void realm.”
“But the combined efforts of nine Demon Zuns of the Divine Separation Realm can also make the power of the Nine Spirit Immortal Seal reach incredible proportions.”
“If we could exchange it for the Nine Spirit Immortal Seal, then.”
The First Elder of the Affairs Hall, True Lord Chang Baiyu, gave him a blank look and said, “You’re wanting the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s life, wanting the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain to fight you for your life.”
“Hehehe.” True Lord Zhao Zangfeng hemmed and hawed, he was telling the truth and really coveted the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s mountain treasure.
However, Fan Xiao, Daoist Tian Yu, and the others obviously knew that it was impossible.
So Fan Xiao continued to ask, “And the others?”
True Lord Zhao Zangfeng said, “Others . If it’s really just trading pills, talismans, formations, and other things, then the treasure that we can use and look at in the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain should be a kind of Nine Spirit Pill, or a formula for a pill, which can raise the chances of half a percent of the demonic beasts or demon clans breaking through to the fifth rank, and is also considered a rare and precious pill.”
“In addition, the Nine Spirit Spring from the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, which is the core material for refining this Dan, can also be exchanged.”
“For the other things, let’s see what the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain can come up with, and redeem them when the need arises.”
After the deliberation was over, Su Yu handed Fan Xiao a list of the fifth-order materials he needed, including pills, talismans, formations, puppets, weapon refineries, and so on.
Fifth rank materials were different from fourth rank materials, in the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation Realm, each and every fifth rank material was called a treasure, the quantity was extremely rare, and it was not easy to collect them.
If one could exchange pills, talismans, formations, and other things from the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain for a large amount of fifth-order materials.
Then, before the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was looted by the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace and the Floating Buddha Sect, the Earth Immortal Mansion would at least have a bite first.
If the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was able to hold up under the attack of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace as well as the Faustus Buddhist Sect, then that would be even better .
The Faustus Buddha Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace couldn’t eat anything, but the Earth Immortal Mansion could eat its fill .
The Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was overjoyed at the connection of the Earth Immortal Mansion .
It quickly sent a Divine Separation Elder Ancestor to descend to Earth Immortal Mansion to discuss the matter.
The Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain wanted fifth-order formations in addition to fourth-order and lower things, and in the end, the discussions lasted for more than a full month before the two sides finalized the deal.
The Earth Immortal Mansion traded two fifth-order formations at the cost of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s Nine Spirit Pill Dan formula as well as one hundred copies of the Nine Spirit Pill’s Nine Spirit Spring Water materials.
The rest was the trade of fourth-order and below pills, talismans, formations, and other things.
A small portion could be traded for fifth-order materials, and most were traded for third- and fourth-order materials.
Da Yu Peak.
Su Yu looked at the list of items needed by the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, listed on it was a list of fourth-order pills, talismans, and formations, all of which were things that needed his help to refine.
Looking at that quantity, Su Yu let out a tsk laugh and murmured, “The Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain has quite a big appetite.”
Doing the math, this trading volume of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was two thousand pills a year for pure fourth-order pills!
Fourth rank talismans, it was written that there were at least two thousand or more!
Fourth order formations, at least thirty!
However, the price is equally attractive, not only did not suppress the price, the price of the transaction has to be 10% higher than the outside market price.
With such an appetite from the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, at this juncture, perhaps only the Earth Immortal Mansion would be able to satisfy them.
Moreover, it had to be because of Su Yu that it could satisfy them.
Otherwise, the Earth Immortal Mansion wouldn’t be able to give the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain so many things!
“Next, it’s going to be a busy time.”
Su Yu moved his muscles and bones, then took the lead with the materials sent by the Immortal Sect and walked into the cave alchemy room.
Buzz!
Accompanied by the descent of the Age Dao Domain, Su Yu began to refine fourth-order pills in accordance with the list of pills needed by the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.
This was only a deal with the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, so Su Yu did not need to care about the quality of the elixir, he only needed to refine it to an ordinary quality in order to conclude the deal with the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.
So the speed of Su Yu’s refining was a few points faster.
The fourth rank lower grade and middle grade pills had almost a hundred percent yield rate, and for the fourth rank upper grade pills, the yield rate could also reach over seventy percent.
In a day’s time, with the added power of the Age and Moon Dao Domain, Su Yu was able to refine eight furnaces of fourth rank pills, with the finished pills ranging from thirty to forty.
This was still due to the fact that he had consumed a lot of mana and mind in the middle of the day and needed to recover.
In a short span of three months, Su Yu had refined all of the fourth rank pills required by the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.
A single person’s strength was able to withstand ten or even twenty fourth rank upper grade alchemists from other forces!
“Next, is the fourth rank talisman.”
Su Yu murmured and whispered a sentence.
Putting all the pills away, he turned around and walked into the talisman room and began to concentrate on drawing talismans.
The list given by the Earth Immortal Mansion contained the Mirror Moon Talisman and the Remnant Moon Talisman, the price of which was five times the price of other fourth-order talismans of the same level, but the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain took one look at them and didn’t even counter-offer, directly asking for six hundred of each. Among them, three hundred of the fourth rank lower grade, two hundred of the middle grade, and one hundred of the upper grade.
Most of these talismans, Su Yu’s proficiency had been raised to perfection or above eighty or ninety, and it wasn’t difficult to draw them.
The profit from a single talisman alone could reach more than ten times the cost.
One year later.
The deal between the Earth Immortal Mansion and the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was concluded.
Su Yu’s side of the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain got the Nine Spirit Pill formula as well as the Nine Spirit Spring materials, in addition to that, there were also one hundred fifth-order lower-grade pill materials, one hundred fifth-order lower-grade talisman materials, and some of the fifth-order formation, puppet, and artifact smithing materials.
There were even more fourth-order materials, so Su Yu temporarily asked for a portion of them to fill the Cloud Cang Ring, while the rest were temporarily filled into the Immortal Sect’s treasure trove.
The transaction between the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain and the Earth Immortal Mansion continued.
However, the amount for the second year was reduced by half.
It will be maintained in the future depending on the situation.
“Then yourself, you can fill the treasury for the Immortal Sect first.” Su Yu’s dao body puppet didn’t stop its hands, and after completing what was needed for the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain, it then turned all of the Immortal Sect’s materials into pills, talismans, formations, and so on.
He had a premonition that there would definitely be a battle in the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World soon.
He had to save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fourth-order talismans for the Immortal Sect first, as well as pills and other resources.
Save for a rainy day!
It was also thanks to the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s deal to provide resources that the Earth Immortal Mansion’s treasure trove was filled up a lot at once, and Su Yu could open it up and stock up on supplies for the Immortal Sect.
In addition, he also made a special trip to the Desolate Domain, sending all the fifth-order materials collected in his hands over to the main body.
If the principal body was able to draw fifth order talismans, perceive fifth order formations, and refine fifth order pills and puppets.
Then the Earth Immortal Mansion’s depth could be strengthened by a few more points.
Time slowly passed.
In the first year of receiving assistance from the Earth Immortal Mansion’s resource supply, the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain didn’t launch a major counterattack, and only barely managed to maintain the situation under the siege of the Floating Buddha Sect as well as the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace.
It was only as a last resort that it would utilize strategic supplies to repel the people from the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace and the Faustus Buddha Sect.
Such a situation was maintained for nearly three years.
The Floating Butte Buddha Sect as well as the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace’s attack on the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain was surprisingly slowed down a lot by sniping, and it was only at this time that the Floating Butte Buddha Sect as well as the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace discovered some clues.
Under the investigation, they realized that the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain had obtained a large number of pills, talismans, magic weapons, formations, and other resources from the Earth Immortal Mansion transaction.
Ten Thousand Immortals Palace.
Immortal Sect Great Hall.
Ten Thousand Immortal Palace’s Palace Master was furious, a palm shattered the throne underneath him into pieces, and said angrily, “Earth Immortal Mansion, how dare you be so unbridled, my Ten Thousand Immortal Palace is making a move against the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain, and yet he is secretly trading supplies with the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain? Help the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain!”
The Ten Thousand Immortal Palace Divine Separation Ancestors as well as the Elders present, their faces were equally cloudy and uncertain, with icy killing intent permeating the entire hall, making the temperature of the hall seem as if it was about to solidify through the cold air.
A True Lord Elder couldn’t stand it and said, ”Palace Master, why don’t we take action against the Earth Immortal Mansion together? If this continues, the Earth Immortal Mansion will have to step on our Ten Thousand Immortals Palace’s head .”
Before the words were finished, this True Lord Elder was suddenly creeped out and turned pale.
Almost everyone’s gazes, including the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace, looked at him.
His heart thumped in his heart, and his heart almost popped out, ”Oh no, said the wrong thing!”
Saying something like that at this time wasn’t just rubbing salt into the hearts of the crowd? Although what he said was also very possible, there were times when there were words that could be said, but there were words that could not be said outright.
A moment later.
The Palace Master of Ten Thousand Immortals Palace withdrew his gaze and said quietly, ”Strike at the Earth Immortal Mansion? Forcing the Earth Immortal Mansion to come down and fight as well? You’re so brave that you can deal with both the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain and the Earth Immortal Mansion at the same time?”
“You’re not afraid of two Immortal Sects, so what if there’s a third, or even a fourth Immortal Sect thus intervening?”
“Then when the time comes, will you continue to fight, or not?”
The Immortal Sect’s great hall was dead silent.
The original icy killing intent that seemed to have solidified also seemed to have been washed away a lot by these words.
Many people’s faces changed.
If that was really the case, then the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace would be in a terrible situation, and even the name of the No. 1 Immortal Sect in the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World would change hands!
After a long period of silence.
A Fractal God Elder Ancestor looked at the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace and said, “Palace Master, this isn’t a solution right now, the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain has the assistance of the Earth Immortal Mansion, and has many more fourth rank treasures in its hands, and it seems as if it is inexhaustible in terms of elixirs and talismans, so we are losing out tremendously!”
“We can’t let the Earth Immortal Mansion and Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain go on like this.”
The Ten Thousand Immortal Palace Master scanned the people present and asked for a plan, “Then, how should this matter be resolved?”
A fairy with a ghostly cold face said at this time, “I have three strategies.”
The Ten Thousand Immortals Palace Lord looked at her and said, “Speak.”
This Divine Separation Venerable Immortal said, “One, truly join forces with the Faustus Buddhist Sect to warn the Earth Immortal Mansion that if it dares to meddle in this matter again, it will give up attacking the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain with the Faustus Buddhist Sect and turn its head to attack the Earth Immortal Mansion.”
“Two, approach the Earth Immortal Mansion, and my Wan Xian Palace will also trade those things with their Earth Immortal Mansion, and no matter what price the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain offers, I, Wan Xian Palace, will be able to pay extra afterward.”
“Three, pull the Earth Immortal Mansion, or even other Immortal Sects together, and join forces to divide up the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain, separating the Earth Immortal Mansion from the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.”
The Ten Thousand Immortal Palace Palace Master and the others heard this and pondered for a long time.
Then they began to discuss these three strategies, as well as additions.
After the discussion, the first strategy was rejected, their Ten Thousand Immortal Palace and the Faustus Buddhist Sect were not on the same path after all, if they really allied with the Faustus Buddhist Sect, then the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace would not be integrated into the Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World!
This would definitely shake the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, it was a big no-no and must not be done!
The second strategy wasn’t really a good idea, but it wasn’t impossible to do, if they could intercept Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain’s supplies, and they Ten Thousand Immortal Palace got those things, then the speed of attacking Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain would be greatly increased.
But with this idea, the Earth Immortal Mansion was at least ninety-nine percent likely to not trade with their Ten Thousand Immortal Palace!
It could only be said that it was possible to give it a try.
Only the third strategy-
The crowd had thought about it for a long time, and it was probably the only thing that could be done.
Pulling in the Earth Immortal Mansion to share the cake together, incidentally separating the Earth Immortal Mansion from the Nine Spirit Immortal Mountain.
If the Earth Immortal Mansion was unwilling to do so, then they would bring in other Immortal Sects to join them. At that time, would the Earth Immortal Mansion still fight against the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace? Even if it dared to, could it still be an enemy of the entire Da Qian Immortal Cultivation World Immortal Sect?
But the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace had other ideas.
His expression was slightly gloomy, his voice calmly said: ”Contact the other immortal sects first, the Earth Immortal Mansion doesn’t care for the time being, doesn’t it want to give a helping hand with the Nine Spirits Immortal Mountain? Then let it have some fun first!”
“I just don’t believe that every single one of the other Immortal Sects are that stupid to give up such a chance to grow themselves for nothing!”
As long as it could pull in the other Immortal Sects, then what was the Earth Immortal Mansion worth at that time?
