Chapter 467: Transaction

"The Master wants me to refine a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. What reward are you planning to give?"

Lin Yuan asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Doesn't Great Master Yun Zhenzi want to ask how many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills need to be refined first?" Green Dragon Master was slightly stunned.

"I prefer to ask about the reward first. That way, I'll have the motivation to refine the Medicinal Pills." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

In fact, as long as Green Dragon Master could gather the Materials for the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, Lin Yuan could refine as many of them as needed.

"That's how it is. Our merchant guild plans to invite Great Master Yun Zhenzi to refine twenty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. As for the reward, how about one million top-tier Immortal Crystals?"

Green Dragon Master pondered for a moment and spoke.

One million top-tier Immortal Crystals was a huge figure, equivalent to the net worth of an ordinary Jade Immortal tenfold.

Five hundred years ago, the various resources Lin Yuan obtained that Yun Zhenzi had prepared for his own 'resurrection' added up to at most one hundred thousand top-tier Immortal Crystals.

"One million top-tier Immortal Crystals?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Green Dragon Master a bit more, "It seems the Master doesn't have much sincerity."

If it were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago, refining twenty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills for a reward of one million top-tier Immortal Crystals would indeed be a reasonable price.

But now?

The Immortal-Demon Great War was about to begin, and the value of all kinds of resources like Immortal Pills was skyrocketing, especially strategic Immortal Pills like the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

"How much does Great Master Yun Zhenzi intend to ask for?"

Green Dragon Master asked.

"Ten million top-tier Immortal Crystals." Lin Yuan said directly.

"Ten million?" Green Dragon Master's expression turned ugly.

With the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild's vast resources and great wealth, pulling out ten million top-tier Immortal Crystals was doable, but as a reward for refining Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?

"Or your Nine Dragons Merchant Guild can give me a piece of 'Immortal Origin', which can also offset the reward for this refining of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills."

The Immortal Origin came from the Immortal Realm Source Land and was said to have great benefits for comprehending rules.

It was just that the Immortal Realm Source Land could only be entered by the Immortal Path Ancestor and Disciples under the Dao Ancestors. The Immortal Origin flowing out from the Source Land was extremely scarce.

For five hundred years, Lin Yuan had failed to acquire a piece of 'Immortal Origin' either openly or covertly. This time, he just happened to take the opportunity of helping the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild refine the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills to see if he could obtain one.

The Nine Dragons Merchant Guild had a huge influence across the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms, so it should have the means to acquire an 'Immortal Origin'.

"A piece of 'Immortal Origin'? Great Master Yun Zhenzi should know the value of 'Immortal Origin'." Green Dragon Master said.

'Immortal Origin' was far too scarce and simply could not be measured by Immortal Crystals.

"The Nine Revolutions Golden Pills I refine should be worth a piece of 'Immortal Origin'." Lin Yuan said.

"I cannot give you an 'Immortal Origin'." Green Dragon Master stood up, "It seems we cannot cooperate with Great Master Yun Zhenzi."

The Nine Dragons Merchant Guild could take out an 'Immortal Origin', but Green Dragon Master thought that the reward for Yun Zhenzi refining a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was not worth this price.

"No matter."

"We can cooperate in the future."

Lin Yuan watched Green Dragon Master leave.

In another Immortal Cave in Cangwu Immortal City.

Green Dragon Master's figure appeared.

"How is it? How did the trade with Great Master Yun Zhenzi go?" A white-haired elder by the side asked. He was also a Jade Immortal, and it was he who had introduced Yun Zhenzi to Green Dragon Master.

"The negotiation failed." Green Dragon Master frowned, "That Yun Zhenzi opened his mouth wide like a lion and actually asked me for ten million Immortal Crystals, or a piece of 'Immortal Origin'."

"Ten million Immortal Crystals?" The white-haired elder thought for a moment, "It is indeed a bit high, but you also understand the current situation. With the Immortal-Demon Great War approaching, it is completely normal for the refining reward of Immortal Pills like the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills to increase."

"But ten million Immortal Crystals is still too high. With these ten million Immortal Crystals, I could completely hire those top-tier Alchemy Great Masters."

Green Dragon Master said, "Before the last Immortal-Demon Great War, Yun Zhenzi's Alchemy attainments were just so-so. Although he did refine a batch of Immortal Pills of decent quality in recent centuries, that's only a recent matter. How can he compare with those top-tier Alchemy Great Masters?"

The Medicinal Pills refined by Alchemy Great Masters had a certain randomness and relied heavily on luck and state of mind.

Perhaps his state was good during this period, so the quality of the refined Immortal Pills was also good. However, those top-tier Alchemy Great Masters could maintain such a state permanently.

In Green Dragon Master's view, Yun Zhenzi was just in a good state during this period. Who knows, if his state deteriorated when refining Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, he might not even be able to successfully form the pills.

When an Alchemy Great Master failed in Alchemy, they did not need to bear the loss of Materials. In other words, this loss would have to be swallowed by their Nine Dragons Merchant Guild themselves.

Under such circumstances, Green Dragon Master was naturally unwilling to spend too much on Yun Zhenzi.

"I originally thought that this Yun Zhenzi, having newly entered the ranks of Alchemy Great Masters, would be a bit more humble, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy." Green Dragon Master's gaze was cold, "These Alchemy Great Masters, relying on the occasion of the Immortal-Demon Great War to arbitrarily raise their rewards, all deserve to die."

A trace of strangeness welled up in the heart of the white-haired elder beside him.

Taking advantage of the approaching Immortal-Demon Great War to wantonly make a fortune from war—wasn't that exactly what the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild was doing right now?

Green Dragon Master did not agree to the conditions, but Lin Yuan didn't care too much either.

As the reputation of the Alchemy Great Master spread, factions or powerful Jade Immortals frequently requested him to refine Immortal Pills. He didn't care about the cooperation with the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild at all.

"It seems that 'Immortal Origin' is really difficult to get hold of."

Lin Yuan sighed.

From Green Dragon Master's attitude, Lin Yuan could see that the value of a piece of 'Immortal Origin' was far above ten million Immortal Crystals.

At least when facing a reward of ten million Immortal Crystals, Green Dragon Master's expression showed some contemplation, but 'Immortal Origin'? Lin Yuan saw that the other party hadn't even considered it at all.

"Could it be that acquiring Immortal Origin can only be done through plunder?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan was unwilling to do so; the commotion would be too big.

Currently, Lin Yuan had not yet grown to the strength of being invincible in the Immortal Realm, so lying low remained his primary focus.

"Hmm?"

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering.

His expression stirred slightly.

"Master." Yun Zhenzi's figure appeared, "The Hall Master of Feixian Hall is looking for you."

Feixian Hall was an important part of Cangwu Immortal City, responsible for the Immortal Cave area. Moreover, the Hall Master of Feixian Hall was one of the giants of the immortal city, second only to those high-ranking figures beneath the City Lord.

More importantly, compared to Jade Immortal Rank factions like the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild, Feixian Hall belonged to Cangwu Immortal City, and Cangwu Immortal City was founded by the Immortal Path Ancestor.

The backing behind the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild was nine Jade Immortals of the Dragon Clan, while the backing behind Cangwu Immortal City was the Immortal Path Ancestor.

Swish.

Very quickly.

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

"Great Master Yun Zhenzi." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan.

"Hall Master." Lin Yuan nodded. Facing the Hall Master of Feixian Hall, his attitude was slightly better than when facing Green Dragon Master of the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild.

After all, the Hall Master of Feixian Hall was a giant of Cangwu Immortal City, and Lin Yuan was currently stationed permanently in Cangwu Immortal City, so he had to show something more or less.

"Did Green Dragon Master just come to seek cooperation with the Great Master? Did it work out?" The Hall Master of Feixian Hall asked.

Before Green Dragon Master visited Lin Yuan, he had inquired about Great Master Yun Zhenzi's information multiple times, and the Hall Master of Feixian Hall had also caught wind of it.

"It didn't work out." Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Hahaha, Green Dragon Master is overbearing by nature, so he must have been unwilling to suffer any loss." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall chuckled and said.

"Perhaps he just didn't fancy me." Lin Yuan said.

"Regarding Great Master Yun Zhenzi's Alchemy attainments, I can only say that Green Dragon Master has misjudged." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall smiled and said.

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall thought for a moment and continued, "Since Great Master Yun Zhenzi and Green Dragon Master didn't manage to cooperate, why not cooperate with our Cangwu Immortal City instead?"

"Cooperate with you?" Lin Yuan glanced at the Hall Master of Feixian Hall without feeling surprised.

Given the identity of the Hall Master of Feixian Hall, coming specifically to visit him meant there must be something he needed to ask of him.

"What do you want me to refine?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Just like Green Dragon Master, also a batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall said.

As a strategic Immortal Pill, not only did the Nine Dragons Merchant Guild attach great importance to it, but Cangwu Immortal City also had a huge demand for it.

Facing the upcoming Immortal-Demon Great War, the pressure borne by Cangwu Immortal City was immense. At this time, having one more Nine Revolutions Golden Pill might just restore the full combat power of a Jade Immortal.

"How many Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?" Lin Yuan asked.

"We temporarily need fifty of them." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall said.

"Fifty pieces." Lin Yuan pondered, "How much reward does the Hall Master plan to give?"

"Green Dragon Master told me that Great Master Yun Zhenzi needs 'Immortal Origin'. How about this: for fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, the reward I offer is three parts of 'Immortal Origin'."

"Three parts of 'Immortal Origin'?" Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

The value of 'Immortal Origin' could be seen a thing or two from Green Dragon Master's attitude.

Green Dragon Master had never thought of trading 'Immortal Origin' with Lin Yuan. Even if their cooperation could be negotiated, it would definitely use ten million Immortal Crystals as the reward.

Immortal Crystals could be earned.

But Immortal Origin, not necessarily.

Yet the Hall Master of Feixian Hall proactively used Immortal Origin as a reward?

Lin Yuan did not believe that the Hall Master of Feixian Hall couldn't cough up tens of millions of top-tier Immortal Crystals.

"I have great confidence in Great Master Yun Zhenzi's Alchemy attainments, and there will be many more cooperations between us in the future. I only hope that Great Master Yun Zhenzi will not refuse in the future."

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately understood the meaning of the Hall Master of Feixian Hall.

The other party paying three parts of Immortal Origin was not only for this cooperation, but also for future cooperation.

"Does the Hall Master think so highly of me?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"I simply trust Great Master Yun Zhenzi." The Hall Master of Feixian Hall said, "If the Great Master agrees, I will go apply for the Immortal Origin. At most half a month, it will be delivered."

"No problem." Lin Yuan nodded.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not refuse Immortal Origin delivered to his door for free like this.

In a certain mysterious space of Feixian Hall.

The Hall Master's figure appeared, and he immediately began to apply for the allocation of 'Immortal Origin'.

"Hall Master, are three parts of Immortal Origin merely used as the reward for that Yun Zhenzi to refine fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?" A figure appeared beside him, asking in utter disbelief.

Immortal Origin was incomparably precious. Three parts of Immortal Origin would be hard to buy even with one hundred million top-tier Immortal Crystals.

The main reason was that there were simply no channels to sell Immortal Origin.

Even with the Immortal-Demon Great War approaching, using three parts of Immortal Origin to refine fifty Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was extremely incredible. Even those top-tier Alchemy Great Masters would not dare to quote such a price.

"Do you think Great Master Yun Zhenzi is just an ordinary Alchemy Great Master?" The Hall Master of Feixian Hall glanced at the figure beside him.

"Ah?" The figure looked stunned.

If he wasn't an ordinary Alchemy Great Master, what kind of Alchemy Great Master was he?

"You don't understand."

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall shook his head, "Using three parts of Immortal Origin to buy Great Master Yun Zhenzi's tendency for subsequent cooperation with our Cangwu Immortal City is not a losing business."

"Forget it, you may step down."

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall said no more.

"Yes."

No matter how many doubts the figure beside him had in his heart, he could only withdraw.

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall sat there alone, thinking to himself:

"In the past four or five hundred years, the quantity of high-quality Immortal Pills in Cangwu Immortal City has increased by a huge margin. Even top-tier Alchemy Great Masters could not continuously refine so many high-quality Immortal Pills."

"And Yun Zhenzi also moved into the immortal city's Immortal Cave five hundred years ago."

The Hall Master of Feixian Hall had a profound gaze.
