Chapter 1832
Trading
About two weeks later.
In the endless river of void, somewhere.
Inside a quiet room a high-level large flying ship, the Hunyuan lineage army, which was attacking a certain ghost realm, was located.
Ling Pengyun was meditating here when Hunyuan Tianjun suddenly came looking for him in a hurry.
"Fellow Daoist Hunyuan, the battle situation here is quite good, why do you look so anxious?"
Seeing the strange expression on Hunyuan Tianjun's face, Ling Pengyun asked him curiously.
Immediately afterwards, Hunyuan Tianjun recounted in detail how, a few days ago, countless Intercepting Cultivators had caused trouble in Hunyuan Immortal City.
It is even rumored that the figure of a Void Refining cultivator has appeared.
Those powerful figures were indeed difficult to deal with, and the manpower left behind by the Hunyuan lineage in Hunyuan Immortal City was simply not enough to handle them. They could only barely protect themselves by relying on the sixth-order array within the city.
As for the ordinary spiritual lands surrounding the Immortal City, and the cultivators traveling to and from the Immortal City, they will suffer.
In an instant, the area surrounding Hunyuan Immortal City was thrown into chaos.
The number of visitors to the Immortal City also decreased significantly, and its reputation declined rapidly.
This matter is particularly troublesome, and if it is not handled properly, Hunyuan Immortal City may be abandoned in the future, and it will be difficult to restore its former glory of having many visitors.
In addition, the appearance of those Intercepting Cultivators around Hunyuan Immortal City was too coincidental, and the number of them was really large. Furthermore, the Hunyuan lineage had recently learned some special information.
Therefore, the Hunyuan lineage already knew that the mastermind behind this matter was the Black Serpent Ghost Clan.
The perpetrators were early-stage Void Refinement forces that were at odds with the Hunyuan lineage.
"That is precisely why this matter is so complicated. Even though my Hunyuan lineage has sought help from some familiar Void Refinement forces in the vicinity, those Void Refinement forces are unwilling to get involved for the time being."
"Even if I return to the Immortal City to take charge, I will not be able to handle this matter for the time being."
"Therefore, I really have no other choice but to ask Fellow Daoist Lingxiao for help."
The Primordial Heavenly Lord was extremely troubled by this matter and pleaded with Ling Pengyun.
Furthermore, he even promised a great reward: if Ling Pengyun was willing to help, he would give Ling Pengyun some rare spiritual items as a token of his gratitude after the matter was accomplished.
"Were only some early-stage Void Refinement forces targeting your Hunyuan lineage? And could you offer me some rare spiritual items, fellow Daoist?"
"These are good conditions. By the way, fellow Daoist, I am quite interested in sixth-tier Five Elements spiritual objects and spatial refining materials, as well as the cultivation experience and inheritance of sixth-tier weapon refiners and spirit plant cultivators. I wonder if you have any?"
"If there is such a thing, I am not unwilling to help."
Ling Pengyun asked curiously.
Although the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect had found a lot of high-grade refining iron for them not long ago, the more of these things the better.
The same applies to various experiences and traditions of inheritance.
In addition, he was powerful because of his strong foundation and the fact that he had recently perfected various sixth-level innate Void Refining Divine Abilities.
Furthermore, according to Hunyuan Tianjun, the forces that attacked the Hunyuan lineage were not strong, and at most only had two or three early-stage Void Refinement cultivators in charge.
Otherwise, those forces wouldn't have only taken action against the Hunyuan lineage, which they disliked, today.
Therefore, Ling Pengyun was not afraid of those forces.
Moreover, the headquarters of the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance is located in Hunyuan Immortal City. If you think about it carefully, the alliance and Hunyuan Immortal City share the same fate, and their fates are intertwined.
Secondly, the Merchant Alliance has recently been expanding its market in the Golden Yuan Market, which is extremely resource-intensive, as it requires selling a lot of spiritual items to the Golden Yuan Immortal Sect behind the market at low prices.
Under such circumstances, if business in the Immortal City is affected for an extended period, the development of the Merchant Alliance in the Golden Yuan Market will likely also be impacted.
Therefore, Ling Pengyun intended to get involved in the major chaos within the Hunyuan lineage. However, the prerequisite was that the Hunyuan lineage could offer some benefits that he valued.
"Sixth-tier Five Elements-type precious iron..."
"These things are rare, but I do have a few."
When Hunyuan Tianjun saw that Ling Pengyun was willing to help, he was overjoyed.
In addition, he had heard that Ling Pengyun was skilled in weapon crafting, and was even the most skilled weapon crafter in the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance.
He didn't know whether Ling Pengyun was skilled in the art of spiritual plants, but the art of spiritual plants was, after all, a versatile skill.
Ling Pengyun's intention to collect the cultivation experience and inheritance of those two paths is understandable.
Collecting materials for refining weapons is undoubtedly part of the weapon refining process, which is quite normal.
He didn't think much of it.
In addition, he does possess a hidden sixth-tier low-grade demon realm that has not yet been discovered by powerful realms such as the Qingxia Realm and the Wanhun Ghost Realm.
In his early years, he also acquired quite a few good things from it.
In addition, he has been operating the Hunyuan Immortal City for many years.
Therefore, their family fortune is quite substantial.
In fact, in order to completely persuade Ling Pengyun, he immediately took out several fist-sized pieces of sixth-order five-element treasure iron and a piece of sixth-order low-grade space-type treasure iron from his storage bag.
If those things are counted separately, they might be a little less, but if added together, they are more than enough to make three sets of the main materials needed to refine a sixth-grade low-level spiritual treasure.
He also took out a book on the cultivation experience of a sixth-level weapon refiner and spirit plant grower.
Those experiences were deliberately acquired in his early years, since the foundation of the Hunyuan lineage in the hundred arts was weak, and such experience was of great benefit to cultivators in practicing those hundred arts.
Therefore, in his early years, he spent a huge amount of money to purchase it from some cultivators of various arts and crafts within the nearby Void Refining forces, intending to use it to assist his high-level weapon refiners and spirit plant cultivators in their cultivation.
As for the inheritance of weapon crafting and spiritual plant cultivation, although he also possessed them, those things were too precious for him to part with.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, those two cultivation experience manuals for weapon refiners and spirit plant growers are valuable, but not particularly valuable. After all, they can be copied. With your strength, fellow Daoist, you should be able to easily obtain them with a little effort."
"Therefore, I can give you those two books directly as a deposit for your help."
"As for the other precious iron, they are of higher value, so I am reluctant to give them away directly. But after the matter is settled, all those things can be given to you, fellow Daoist. We can use this opportunity to establish a Heavenly Dao Oath and sign a Yuan Soul Contract."
Hunyuan Tianjun, knowing the situation, handed the two most ordinary cultivation experience books to Ling Pengyun, and said with a smile.
At this moment, Ling Pengyun curiously examined the two cultivation experience books.
The content was not only true, but also quite good, and it did not overlap with the experience left by the weapon refiners and spirit plant growers of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect.
Indirectly, this kind of thing has been of great help to Ling Pengyun's path of weapon crafting and spiritual plant cultivation.
In fact, because Ling Pengyun was more talented, he benefited greatly from just glancing at the two experience books.
"With those two classic texts, plus the cultivation experience left behind by the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, perhaps in a few years I will have the opportunity to cultivate both spiritual plant cultivation and weapon crafting to the sixth-grade lower level, thanks to the inheritance I perfected back then."
"And by then, I won't just be able to care for low-grade sixth-tier spiritual plants; I can even use the spiritual materials that the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect helped me collect to try and reforge my natal spiritual treasures to the low-grade sixth-tier level."
Ling Pengyun looked at the two cultivation experience books and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Then, seeing that Hunyuan Tianjun was quite sincere, he immediately agreed.
"Alright, since you are so sincere, I will take on this task."
"And I will certainly help you do a good job in this matter, fellow Daoist. Furthermore, if any ignorant villains in the Void Refinement stage dare to act rashly, I will not hesitate to assist you in eliminating them." (End of Chapter)
