Chapter 209: One Year

Lu Qingping did not return to Jinyang City alone.

At least thousands of cultivators followed Lu Qingping to Jinyang City.

These people’s cultivation levels were already at the Earth Realm, and the weakest was only at the Essence Cultivation Realm.

Before Huang Six left, many people were willing to repay him with their lives.

This was the cultivation world.

There were many people who were obsessed.

For a promise, there was no regret in life or death.

When Han Muye returned to the Nine Mystic Mountain, he asked Lu Gao to find Bai Suzhen and send someone to contact Lu Qingping.

Since Huang Six had left the Heavenly Mystic World, Han Muye naturally wouldn’t let Lu Qingping suffer.

“A manager of the Bai family has already led a team to Jinyang City.

“In the future, they will reside in Jinyang City and establish a market.”

At this point, Bai Suzhen looked at Han Muye. “Senior Brother Han, are you really going to give 10% of the profits to Sixth Sister-in-law?”

Han Muye’s request was that he would pay half of the spiritual rocks in the market and also refine precious pills to sell in Jinyang City every year.

10% of the profits would be given to Lu Qingping.

Bai Suzhen calculated. This was not a small sum.

Even a cultivation sect with good strength would not have more than 10% of its annual income.

After all, the pills refined by Han Muye were all priceless.

“10%.”

Han Muye nodded.

The most indispensable things in the cultivation world.

Wealth, precious things.

But in Han Muye’s opinion, he had already left that realm.

Wealth was an external thing.

“Then, Senior Brother Han, are you still taking on the business of refining supreme-grade pills and immortal-grade pills?” Bai Suzhen looked at Han Muye nervously.

Han Muye’s indifferent att.i.tude towards wealth made her feel uncertain.

“Why not?” Han Muye laughed and said, “Prepare some spiritual herbs in the next few days. I’m preparing to open the furnace.”

If he didn’t turn on the furnace soon, he would have trouble opening the cauldron.

The three sword pills in his dantian, the sword intent in his sea of Qi, the sword of the soul in his divine treasure, and the refinement of the body tempering technique. Which one of them wasn’t a huge expenditure of spiritual energy?

One superior-grade spiritual rock was not enough for him to cultivate for two days.

The key was that he did not care about forcefully absorbing spiritual rocks that would damage his meridians. In the past, he had used pills to cultivate.

This trip to Cloud Nest Ridge had used up all the immortal-grade pills on him.

Hearing Han Muye’s words, Bai Suzhen was pleasantly surprised.

“What pill do you want to refine?”

Bai Suzhen had already gathered the resources of the Bai family and the Shangyang Demon Sect that she could use. She had prepared many spiritual herbs as long as Han Muye was willing to refine pills.

After all, there were really not many people in the Western Frontier who could refine immortal-grade pills.

Other than Han Muye, Bai Suzhen couldn’t find anyone else.

Han Muye pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, “If it’s convenient, let’s gather a few cauldrons of spiritual herbs for the Essence Spirit Pills first.”

Essence Spirit Pills. The most important spiritual energy replenishment pills for the Foundation Establishment and Meridian Opening stages.

This pill contained powerful and dense spiritual energy. It was one of the pills that Earth Realm cultivators always carried with them.

Of course, not everyone could have such a pill that was worth tens of thousands of spiritual rocks.

The higher the cultivation realm, the fewer supplementary items could be used.

Pills, talismans, and Dharma artifacts did not improve one’s cultivation and combat strength much.

But that was also relative.

High-grade pill, high-grade talisman, spiritual weapon level, and even Dharma treasure were still very useful to high-level cultivators.

However, these things were all extremely precious and not easy to obtain.

In the cultivation world, why did most of those who cultivated to the advanced stage establish a faction?

It was because they needed a large number of low-level cultivators to gather wealth.

To those great cultivators, nurturing a group of low-level cultivators who were useful did not require hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks.

However, if they cultivated by themselves, a pill might cost more than a million spiritual rocks.

It could be said that the entire Nine Mystic Sword Sect used the power of hundreds of millions of low-level cultivators to support those great cultivators above the Core Formation realm.

Of course, these great cultivators held down the fort and provided combat power protection for the sect, giving these low-level cultivators a chance to grow.

Although those itinerant cultivators didn’t need to provide for others, how difficult was it to obtain some resources?

After settling the alchemy matter with Bai Suzhen, Han Muye asked about some things outside the Nine Mystic Mountain.

He could see the news from the spiritual land, and Lu Gao often inquired about it.

However, with Bai Suzhen’s ident.i.ty and channels, the information she knew would be different.

“Senior Brother, aren’t you the most famous person at the foot of the mountain?” Hearing Han Muye’s question, Bai Suzhen chuckled.

After the battle at Cloud Nest Ridge, the Western Frontier was saved.

Several great demons of the Southern Wasteland Heaven Realm had died, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

There were many dazzling people in this battle. The strength of Tu Sunshi, the might of Huang Six, the courage of Han Muye, and those half-step Heaven Realm and Golden Core cultivators who sacrificed themselves to stop the demons.

Among them, the benefits Han Muye brought to all sword cultivators were real.

The swords that were stained with the blood and soul of the Great Demon Qi had gained a lot of spirituality.

After nurturing it, its grade would naturally increase.

Last time, Han Muye shocked all the alchemists in Mushen City with an immortal-grade pill, but because of his status as a sword cultivator, his reputation was deliberately suppressed.

This time, in front of a million cultivators, he displayed his unparalleled talent in the sword. His reputation as an immortal in the sword path completely resounded throughout the Western Frontier.

A sword cultivator should be like Han Muye.

“Senior Brother, you have to be careful when you go down the mountain in the future.” Bai Suzhen looked at Han Muye and said solemnly.

In the battle of Cloud Nest Ridge, the Western Frontier suffered heavy losses and many half-step Heaven Realm experts died.

And after Tu Sunshi left the Heavenly Mystic World, the Spirit Dao Sect’s Myriad Transformations Sage entered seclusion with serious injuries, causing the situation in the Western Frontier to change again.

Shangyang Demon Sect’s Li Mubai had already publicly announced that he intended to hold down the front line of Fengshou Mountain.

The morale of the demonic cultivators in the Western Frontier was greatly boosted.

According to the news from the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect, Sect Master Zhang Cheng’s injuries had recovered much better than expected.

It seemed that this third Heavenly Realm expert who had left the Western Frontier was unwilling to hide.

After all, Tu Sunshi and the Myriad Transformations Sage had been temporarily moved away. One was far away, and the other was in seclusion.

Fortunately, the Spirit Dao Sect’s ban was still there. The Wind Spiritual Sword Sect should not violate the ban and fight with the Nine Mystic Sword Sect again.

However, Han Muye was too famous, so the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect might attack him.

Back then, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s Tuoba Cheng killed the most promising elder of the Great Spiritual Sword Sect, Qin Ci, causing the Great Spiritual Sword Sect to be powerless.

There were many such things among the large sects in the cultivation world.

“Don’t worry.”

Han Muye chuckled, his eyes revealing a look that made people unable to look straight at him.

“There aren’t many in the Western Frontier who can plot against me.”

Bai Suzhen looked up at him and didn’t say anything else.

She knew that what Han Muye said was not a lie.

In the battle at Cloud Nest Mountain Range, Han Muye and Tu Sunshi joined forces and were invincible, killing Heaven Realm experts like slaughtering dogs.

After such tempering, be it his horizons or strength, he would definitely be reborn.

The Sword Pavilion’s Sword Caretaker could not be speculated with common sense.

“Senior Brother Han, do you think it’s possible for the Western Frontier and the Southern Wasteland to reconcile?”

Before leaving, Bai Suzhen suddenly asked.

Before Han Muye could answer,she had already turned and left.

Looking at Bai Suzhen’s back, Han Muye narrowed his eyes.

Bai Suzhen wouldn’t ask for no reason.

In the Western Frontier, there were only two people who were qualified to reconcile with the Southern Wasteland.

Myriad Transformations Sage, Shangyang Demon Sect’s Li Mubai.

The Spiritual Dao Sect’s Myriads Transformation Sage was in seclusion, leaving only Li Mubai.

To Li Mubai, reaching a settlement with the Southern Wasteland was much more beneficial than fighting to the death.

Moreover, most cultivators in the Western Frontier would not object to reconciling with the Southern Wasteland.

In the end, it was for benefits.

However, some people died for nothing.

Taking a deep breath, Han Muye walked towards the sword pavilion.

He did not have the combat power of Tu Sunshi and was not qualified to decide everything in the Western Frontier.

Tu Sunshi said that the sword cultivators of the Western Frontier would be handed over to him.

He agreed.

Naturally, he would do it.

We’ll see.

….

At the Waterside Residence.

The residence of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s Pill Hall Elder, Su Liang.

Elder Su Liang, the female cultivator, Jin Yuan, the medical hall’s Elder, Sun Ce, and Jiang Ming were all present.

Sitting in the middle was Han Muye.

At this time, it had been a year since Han Muye returned from Cloud Nest Ridge.

For a year, he spent most of his time cultivating in the sword pavilion.

Today, he was invited to refine pills.

Sword light curled around Han Muye’s body, and sword Qi scattered between his fingers, landing on the tripod in front of him.

The pill cauldron shook, and the medicinal power turned into clouds.

The surrounding people did not even dare to breathe loudly. Their eyes were fixed on the pill cauldron and Han Muye, who was refining pills.

This was a furnace of Void Meridian Pills.

They were not ordinary Void Meridian Pills, but immortal-grade Void Meridian Pills.

In the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, including the entire Western Frontier, only Han Muye could refine such Immortal-Grade Pills.

This furnace of pills was specially requested by the sect for Han Muye to refine.

The young master of the Yuntai Dao Sect personally visited the Nine Mystic Sword Sect. Then when he had a secret conversation with Sect Master Jin Ze, he mentioned that he wanted to ask for an immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill for his son with his first wife.

The Yuntai Dao Sect had suffered heavy losses because of the Southern Wasteland’s attack. Its position among the Nine Great Sects was in danger.

Coincidentally, because the Wind Spiritual Sword Sect Master, Zhang Cheng, had come out of seclusion, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect was also secretly looking for allies.

The two families. .h.i.t it off immediately.

A water-type immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill was considered the sincerity of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

800,000 spiritual rocks. Three cauldrons of spiritual herbs.

This was the price the sect asked Han Muye to pay.

Compared to Bai Suzhen’s high price of three million spiritual rocks, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s bid was relatively stingy.

However, Han Muye valued the two additional furnaces of spiritual herbs more.

Wasn’t this a pure profit?

Immortal-grade Void Meridian Pill. Three months ago, someone in a sect in the Western Frontier had consumed it.

Not only did the young sect master use this pill to steadily step into the Earth Realm, but he also used the power of the pill to transform into another spiritual meridian.

His originally mediocre cultivation apt.i.tude immediately became top-notch.

It was a rare opportunity to increase one’s apt.i.tude after stepping into the Earth Realm.

A Void Meridian Pill could have the power to transform a person.

This matter was known by many sects, and the threshold of the Bai family’s shop had been flattened.

For those powerful sects, it was not difficult to fork out three to five million spiritual rocks.

As long as he could nurture a junior disciple with sufficient apt.i.tude.

Spiritual rocks were dead. Talent was the most important.

Especially now that the Western Frontier and the Southern Wasteland were in constant war, countless elites.

Unfortunately, Bai Suzhen didn’t have many immortal-grade Void Meridian Pills.

After returning to the Nine Mystic Mountain from Cloud Nest Ridge for more than a year, Han Muye had not refined many pills.

He would consume most of these pills himself. The sect would exchange a few for them, and the remaining few would be used by Bai Suzhen.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Han Muye didn’t seem to like women, Bai Suzhen would have used her s.e.x appeal and begged him to refine a few more pills.

Fortunately, Han Muye took out a gold lineage stone to share, allowing Bai Suzhen to earn a lot and feel much better.
