Chapter 883 - 733: Impurity?

Chapter 883: Chapter 733: Impurity?

Yao Wenxuan, upon hearing this, explained, "The Immortal Venerate is an elder from the East Desolate Taiching Palace who has just recently awoken."

"An ancient cultivator?" Deng Lingling said in surprise.

Yao Wenxuan nodded.

The three of them looked at Wang Zijia, and in an instant, realization dawned upon them. They bowed respectfully once more and said, "We pay our respects to Yun Zhongzi, the Immortal Venerate!"

However, the two Earth Immortals’ solemn expressions relaxed considerably and became much more casual.

Wang Zijia, on the other hand, nodded faintly in response.

"Won’t you invite us to come in and sit?" Yao Wenxuan asked at this moment.

"Ah! Look at me!" Deng Lingling hurriedly apologized, then led everyone flying downwards.

······

Following Deng Lingling, the group entered a great hall at the heart of the Deng family’s clan grounds.

After everyone was seated, disciples immediately came forward to serve tea.

Deng Lingling enthusiastically greeted the three guests, Wang Zijia and his companions, while the other two Earth Immortals seemed indifferent and maintained a neutral demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant, giving the atmosphere a touch of strangeness.

Wang Zijia had no intention of engaging in the intricate familial power struggles.

After acquainting themselves for a short while, Wang Zijia got straight to the point, "My esteemed friends, I have come today upon hearing that your clan is in possession of a Seven Apertures Clearing Pill. May I ask if you are willing to part with it?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Lingling immediately realized for whom Yao Wenxuan was asking, and in her excitement, she was about to speak.

"The Exalted Immortal may not know that we have already made plans for this Seven Apertures Clearing Pill," the Thin and Dry Earth Immortal interjected first.

"Indeed, some time ago, a junior of our family had an insight and has prepared to consume the pill soon in the hope of becoming an immortal, adding another Immortal to the Deng family," the charming woman replied.

The Thin and Dry Earth Immortal paused for a moment, glanced at the woman, but said nothing more.

The woman paused as well, then continued, "Moreover, if I remember correctly, the palace hasn’t had any additional Celestial Immortals recently. Since our senior has just awoken from the Taiching Palace of ancient times, you should consider going to the Ancient Spirit Palace as soon as possible to report in. Why waste your time with us minor clans?"

Although respectful in their demeanor, the two spoke firmly to Wang Zijia, who emanated the authority of a Celestial Immortal, without showing any submission or arrogance.

Normally, they wouldn’t bluntly refuse a Celestial Immortal who came knocking; they would at least contemplate the request. After all, even in Taiching Palace, Celestial Immortals are considered high-end forces!

But Wang Zijia was different because of his direct lineage, agreeing would be madness!

And so, almost without consideration, their attitudes remained strongly united.

······

Seeing this, Zhu Qi’s brow furrowed involuntarily, but Wang Zijia remained unconcerned, gesturing to stop Yao Wenxuan, who was about to say something.

"There’s no need for me to report at the Ancient Spirit Palace," Wang Zijia said with a smile. "Allow me to introduce myself, then. I am Yun Zhongzi, a monk of the direct line from the East Desolate Taiching Palace. I cultivate the Earth Immortal Path."

"I’m not interested in mincing words either. I can promise three point enlightenment quotas for your clan’s Earth Immortals, one for each vein. Within a hundred years, those who are ready can come and seek me out."

"Hmm... My circumstances should already be recorded in the Taiching Palace; you can look it up."

Because of Wang Zijia’s words, Deng Lingling’s eyes brightened, while the other two subconsciously frowned.

Seeing that they didn’t respond, Wang Zijia continued,

"Of course, if you’re unwilling, I won’t insist. I have some relations with Li Benlin; I could offer some compensation to have him help me search for the pill. I reckon he might be more agreeable than I am."

Yao Wenxuan also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Martial Uncle Li recently looked for it several times on behalf of the Immortal Venerate. It’s well known in certain circles within the Sect."

The Thin and Dry man and the charming woman were both startled; they were indeed aware of this.

They might not fear an external Celestial Immortal like Wang Zijia too much, but they certainly wouldn’t dare to offend a Taiching Celestial Immortal.

Even with backing from the Fire Spirit Ancestor, it wouldn’t be okay, not to mention that their relations with the Fire Spirit Palace had almost ceased in recent years.

And Li Benlin is a Celestial Immortal from the Fire Spirit Palace!

None of the three gave an immediate response but instead quietly checked Wang Zijia’s information.

Name: Wang Zijia

Dharma Name: Yun Zhongzi (Nine Tribulations Chi Yang, rumored to have crossed tribulation nine times as an Infant God, suspected of being divine retribution for Reincarnation)

Dao Consistency: Earth Immortal Enlightenment Path, likely inclined towards inheriting a particular Dao (suspected to be an ancient Inheritance, requires close attention)

Identity: Wanyu Sect elder, appears to hold a supreme position; currently consolidating the Spirit Suppressing Realm, unifying and integrating various factions.

Previous Life as part of the East Desolate Taiching Palace’s Immortal Seed lineage: Yun Zhongzi, a core member of the direct line during the Fifth Era; his Junior Brother was the End of Dharma Guru, Yun Lai, known for stunning talent.

Note: This person is suspected of multiple reincarnations, an ancient power (insufficient authority to view further information)

Details: (Insufficient authority to view)

······

Unaware until they checked, they were shocked upon looking.

With their status, they could only see some basic information, but even that was enough to be alarming!

The Earth Immortal Path is rare indeed, and while the Taiching Palace didn’t lack them, the results of enlightenment varied greatly from person to person, with the success rate being unpredictable.

But the information of this individual... it was concerning enough for the Taiching Palace to pay close attention.

They, who initially thought the three quotas were nothing special, now realized that this deal might be excessively profitable, didn’t they?

"Furthermore, I am only interested in the Elixir. I will not get involved in your family’s affairs once I obtain the pill," Wang Zijia added fuel to the fire as he saw this.

Deng Lingling from the direct line initially had an elated expression that suddenly stiffened, while the other two Immortals, upon hearing the words, changed their attitudes drastically and said decisively, "If the Exalted Immortal is in need, I’m sure our junior will understand and willingly part with it."

Deng Lingling opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.

Back out now?

That won’t do; you must back me up.

Before she could figure out what to say, her two uncles simultaneously pressured her with their momentum.

In the end, Deng Lingling said nothing at all.

The great hall fell into a strange silence.

After a brief moment, a disciple hurried in with an Elixir.

"Please, Immortal Venerate, have a look!"

Wang Zijia took the Elixir, opened the multiple seals, and after confirming it was a Seven Apertures Clearing Pill, crushed it to the astonishment of the onlookers.

The next moment, there were no chunks of the pill shattering; the entire Elixir exploded into a rich Immortal Spirit Qi that spread out.

Wang Zijia’s powerful mana restrained these characteristic qualities of Immortal Spirit and quickly extracted a strand.

Chip: Seven Apertures Clearing Pill

Level: Seventh Grade

Quality: Inferior

Value: 23

Effect: The heart has seven apertures, the wisdom heart is enlightened, able to find Spirit Mechanisms, awaken to the Great Dao.

······

Looking at this chip, Wang Zijia’s heart suddenly sank!

It was indeed as he had thought!

After the Elixir was refined into an Immortal Pill, its properties were completely different!

It’s the same principle as a chemical reaction, where the soap made from fat and alkali is entirely a different thing, not just a mixture of the two!

He had realized this long ago!

Otherwise, why would he bother consuming Elixir these years? If the Elixir didn’t undergo the alchemical reaction characteristic of Xianxia and turned into something else,

and was merely a mixture of medicines, then just based on the Balanced Scale’s capabilities, consuming the Medicinal Materials directly for their value would definitely be more cost-effective!

’Damn it, all the strategies employed, and it was a wasted trip!’

Feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, Wang Zijia’s expression darkened as he stared at the Immortal Spirit Light Group in front of him for a long time without speaking.

Seeing this, there was a resounding silence among the crowd.

"Does your family still have any remnants of the Seven Orifices Dual World······" Wang Zijia was about to ask about any remaining parts of the Seven Orifices Dual World Flower, but suddenly froze mid-action.

Looking at the Immortal Spirit Light Group he had restrained.

A large part of the Medicinal Property within the group came from the Seven Apertures Clearing Pill, but there were many other properties mixed in.

It was like when making soap, if the technique is clumsy, some fat and alkali remnants get left behind, not undergoing a complete reaction!

And it was these that caused the imperfections in the quality of this pill, making it even inferior!

However, Wang Zijia’s eyes lit up as he looked at these mixed auras.

He quickly extracted that large mixed aura and divided it into dozens of parts based on their different properties.

These ’impurities’ were probably the main Medicinal Materials of the Elixir.

Wang Zijia began to examine these few mixed spiritual properties.

The crowd watched Wang Zijia change colors suddenly and then recover, clueless about what was happening, yet no one disturbed him.

It was apparent to everyone that what Wang Zijia really wanted wasn’t the Seven Apertures Clearing Pill at all.

······

After a moment, Wang Zijia was overjoyed, and the joy was unmistakable as he looked at a wisp of aura about the size of a hair strand in front of him.

Chip: Seven Orifices Dual World Flower

Level: Seventh Grade

Affiliation: Immortal Spirit

Value: 2

Description: The world has spirit, flowers bloom with seven apertures. Born from the crevice of the world, drawing on the turbid force of space-time, this peerless Spiritual Object, when consumed, has the power to enlighten.

People’s hearts have apertures, some with exquisite sensibilities and unparalleled understanding; others are as obtuse as pigs. Thus, the effects of this object vary from person to person.

Some may find it as tasteless as weeds, while others may gain instant enlightenment and ascend to immortality!

······

The most difficult to find Spiritual Object had finally been unearthed by him!

Wang Zijia treasured the wisp of aura he held, estimating its value to be around a hundred points or so, a very faint remnant of an ’impurity’.

Nevertheless, it could be divided into several dozen Pill guides for consumption.

So even this tiny bit was more than enough!!!

After applying several seals and stowing it away, Wang Zijia then looked at the remaining mass of Medicinal Property from the Seven Apertures Clearing Pill, opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it directly.

Once an Immortal Pill is shattered, it cannot be reassembled; no matter how well sealed, the Medicinal Property will slowly disperse, even deteriorate!

"Value points +700 million!"

Wang Zijia pursed his lips; this thing was too low in cost-performance ratio.

If sold, given the unique nature of the pill, it could fetch several hundred thousand Spirit Essence.

Even finding the right market, millions were possible.

Yet, the profit he gained was only to the tune of twenty or thirty thousand Spirit Essence, hence most High-Grade Elixirs were considered garbage to Wang Zijia.

After finishing this, Wang Zijia refocused his attention on the crowd.

At this moment, Wang Zijia’s abrupt pill destruction act made the Deng family members somewhat nervous, probably fearing that Wang Zijia would renege, hence the hall fell into silence and the atmosphere was oppressive.
