Nine Heavens Breath Soil

The Third Elder's cave dwelling is located in a secluded valley behind the Xuantian Sect.

However, the aura suggests that it doesn't belong to just one person.

interesting.

This was the first time Chu Yuan had ever seen so many disciples gathered next to his own cave dwelling.

"Master, this is the Third Elder's cave dwelling. It is said that the Third Elder arranged for many disciples who love weapon crafting to live with him. They often discuss the art of weapon crafting together."

Chu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

How wonderful it would be if the entire Xuantian Sect had people like the Third Elder!

The other elders were all vying for power and profit.

They're all getting on in years, wouldn't it be better for them to just focus on their cultivation?

I don't understand!

Let's go!

Chu Yuan stepped inside.

Youyue followed closely behind.

There is a cave in the valley.

A small courtyard was built against the mountain, filled with all kinds of refining materials, and several disciples were busy working.

Behind the courtyard, a stone hall had its doors half-open, and the flickering flames inside could be vaguely seen.

The Third Elder emerged from the stone hall, dressed in a gray robe with white hair, his face thin, and carrying a newly quenched sword blank in his hand.

When he saw Chu Yuan arrive, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately bowed in greeting:

"Has the sect leader come with some instructions?"

Chu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Third Elder, there's no need for such formalities. I have come here with a request."

[Target: Han Song]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Tribulation Transcending]

[Fate's trajectory: Guiding disciples in cultivation, creating puppets...]

[Fortune: White]

It seems I've succeeded.

Chu Yuan relaxed slightly.

Gu Song straightened up, his gaze slightly narrowed.

The cult leader personally came to his door to ask him for a favor?

This is a very rare thing.

But can I really do something that would make the cult leader come to me personally?

Han Song sheathed the sword blank and gestured for it to proceed.

"Please come into the inner hall for a detailed discussion, Master."

Inside the stone hall, the fire in the stove was burning brightly.

Chu Yuan took his seat in the main seat and, without beating around the bush, stated his purpose directly:

"I need a humanoid puppet that can store spiritual energy and can carry the projection of my soul."

Gu Song frowned slightly after hearing this.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"Creating a puppet isn't difficult. With my skills, as long as I have enough materials, I can complete it within three months. However..."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow:

"Just what?"

"According to the cult leader's description of its function, this puppet requires top-grade materials to support its spiritual power. The most crucial of these is a supreme earth-attribute treasure called Nine Heavens Breath Soil."

Gu Song sighed:

"This item is extremely rare, and we don't have any in our warehouse."

He spoke with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil, a legendary divine soil capable of evolving all things, is priceless even in its smallest form.

He had been refining artifacts for a thousand years and had only seen it twice, both times when others brought materials to him for refining artifacts.

Buy it yourself?

I can't afford it.

It's way too expensive!

Chu Yuan listened without showing any expression.

He reached into his storage ring, took out a cloth bag, and casually placed it in front of Gu Song:

Is that enough?

Gu Song was taken aback and subconsciously opened the cloth bag.

The next moment, he froze.

The bag was filled to the brim with the essence of the Nine Heavens!

Each grain is the size of a soybean, crystal clear, and has a faint yellowish-brown sheen.

A rough count revealed at least twenty or thirty grains!

"This...this..."

Gu Song's hands were trembling as he held the cloth bag.

He had been refining artifacts for a thousand years and had never seen so much Nine Heavens Breath Soil!

Isn't this sold by the grain?

Which family's magic soil mine did the cult leader raid?

Seeing his appearance, Chu Yuan silently thanked the original owner of this body.

The original owner had a habit when fighting: he rarely killed anyone outright.

Usually, you defeat your opponent, give them a few pointers, and then let them challenge you again next time.

However, after each instruction, he would always take something from the other person, euphemistically calling it an instruction fee.

Over the past few hundred years, my storage ring has accumulated a bunch of miscellaneous treasures.

Nine Heavens Breath Soil?

That is one of them.

"Is that enough?"

Chu Yuan asked again.

Gu Song took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He carefully took three pills out of the bag, held them in both hands, and solemnly said:

"Reporting to the Master, three pills are sufficient."

Chu Yuan shook his head:

"Then make five or six more, preferably with different appearances. As for any extras, they're yours."

Chu Yuan didn't feel sorry for him.

He doesn't know how to forge weapons, so it's better to give the items to someone who actually knows how to use them.

As for the materials for the Nine Heavens Undying Body later on.

He has already thought of a better one.

Therefore, there is no need to use this.

Gu Song's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the Breath Soil.

The rest... he can have it all?!

How many spirit stones is this worth?!

He looked up at Chu Yuan, his gaze complex.

This cult leader was completely different from what he had imagined.

I thought he was just a fighting maniac who only knew how to fight, but I didn't expect him to be so generous.

Moreover, when we met today, he spoke kindly and without any airs.

Since the leader emerged from seclusion, he seems like a completely different person.

Was I really hiding my true abilities before?

Thinking about the leader's actions after emerging from seclusion, everything he did was for the sake of the Xuantian Sect.

Meanwhile, the elders, including Xue Lie, continued to vie for power and profit...

The ancient pine tree remained silent for a moment, then suddenly bowed deeply.

"Rest assured, Master, I will do my utmost to create this puppet to be perfect!"

Chu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Elder."

He stood up, ready to leave.

As he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and said:

"By the way, there's no need to publicize this matter."

Gu Song nodded solemnly:

"Understood."

Chu Yuan strode away.

The barrier at the valley entrance was closed again.

Gu Song stood still, looking down at the cloth bag in his hand, then at the Nine Heavens Breath Soil in his palm. After a long while, he sighed softly.

Yuanji Hall.

As soon as Chu Yuan sat down, Qianji came to greet him:

"Master, has the Third Elder agreed?"

Chu Yuan nodded:

"Okay. The materials have been given. Pick up the puppet in three months."

Qianji breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again:

"Should we send someone to keep an eye on the White Bone Palace first?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment:

"That's fine. But don't alert them. Just observe from the outside. Once my puppet is complete, I'll go investigate myself."

"Yes."

Qianji accepted the order and withdrew.

Chu Yuan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Three months is neither a long nor a short time.

This is a good opportunity to further consolidate my peak Foundation Establishment cultivation.

I'll also take the opportunity to study the secret technique that Yin Jiuqi sent me, so I can use it as soon as I get the puppet.

As for the Hall of White Bones...

Chu Yuan suddenly had a headache.

To be honest, if it's about fighting for the Dao, he doesn't actually object to the demonic path killing the righteous path, or the righteous path killing the demonic path.

Since they are all cultivators, they are already doing something against the will of Heaven.

Our paths diverge, and our destinies differ; it is not unreasonable for us to fight each other.

He just really hates those who stand on moral high ground and point fingers.

Isn't Mingqian's job also about seizing opportunities?

In the original owner's memories, there were quite a few righteous paths like that.

I wonder how many scoundrels I'll be able to catch this time...
