The Taixu Sect chieftain felt a headache then.
Medicinal pellets that improve Yuan Spirit cultivation?
Those pellets were extremely difficult to refine and the materials required were very expensive. While the Taixu Sect had them, they did not have much in stock, and they would have to keep them for grooming their disciples after they reopened their mountain gates.
Still, those were nothing compared to premium-grade soul items.
Right now, he was dying of regret. Why did he have to slap himself until his face was swollen, and compensate for those two?
Most importantly, he really did not expect Jiang He's asking price to be so ruthless. As a chieftain of a sect, he could not go back on his word, and so he braced himself and said, "The Taixu Sect does have medicinal pellets that improve Yuan Spirit cultivation."
Summoning Elder Mo again, he ordered him to bring him another medicinal pellet.
Holding out the medicinal pellet, the Taixu Sect chieftain introduced it to Jiang He, "This is a rank-six spirit pellet that improves Yuan Spirit cultivator's Yuan Spirit cultivation. It is extremely difficult to refine rank-six spirit pellets, and we do not have many in stock."
Confused, Jiang He asked, "Rank-six spirit pellets? Could there be different grades for medicinal pellets? "
"Of course."
"The spirit pellet is one of the best spirit pellets among rank-six spirit pellets, and most rank-six pellet refinists would have a hard time refining it. Only rank-seven pellet refinists could do it normally."
Jiang He's interest was immediately piqued.
Refining pellets …
Was that not a necessary skill for cultivators as well?
It was more or less the same as item refinement and arrays. As a cultivator, he should at least dabble in it even if he was not proficient in it. When he returned to create an item refinement technique, he would also create a pellet refinement technique and arrange everything for it.
"Then how much would I get if I convert all nine of my premium-grade soul items into spirit pellets?"
"To tell you the truth, even the most ordinary of Premium-Grade Soul Items is worth 500 Spirit Consolidating Pellets. Nine Premium-Grade Soul Items are worth at least 4500 Spirit Consolidating Pellets. However, after more than two thousand years, the Taixu Sect's reserves are almost depleted, and I can only give you 100 Spirit Consolidating Pellets at most. “
Jiang He was speechless.
He stared at the Taixu Sect chieftain for a few seconds, before sighing. "Brother, you're really a dragon slaying blade. Everyone else would cut the price in half, but with that one slash of yours, my 4500 Spirit Consolidating Pellets would become 100?"
The Taixu Sect chieftain was speechless.
You've gotten a bargain, yet you're still pretending to be innocent? Nine premium-grade soul items … what nonsense. If you, Jiang He, were not quite powerful and could be a key figure in the coming calamity, I would have slapped you into a meat pie for daring to extort the Taixu Sect.
Soon, the hundred spirit condensation pellets were in Jiang He's hands.
These Soul Condensing Pills were stored in a delicate little porcelain bottle.
Jiang He took a look and found that the bottles were quite old. If antiques were not worthless in this chaotic world, each bottle would sell for dozens of millions.
Each porcelain bottle contained two Soul Condensing Pills.
Putting the fifty bottles into his System Backpack, Jiang He was inwardly delighted and thought to himself, 'I knew it. The Taixu Sect is easy to talk to, and I was expecting to get a dozen or twenty medicinal pellets that improve Yuan Spirit cultivation … I didn't expect to get a hundred of them!'
As for the "loss" he said …
It was just a casual remark.
Jiang He was no fool. Would the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect give him nine premium-grade soul items that he was asking for?
All he wanted was to start a feud.
Either way, those secluded immortal sects did not come out to help even when the Sky Demon legion descended. Jiang He was disgusted by their attitude, and would it not be easier for him to ask if he needed any treasures in the future if he needed them?
They chatted for a long time.
With the spirit condensation pellets in hand, Jiang He wanted to leave, but the Taixu Sect chieftain would not mention the sun. As such, Jiang He had to thicken his skin and say, "Chieftain, about the deal before …"
As he spoke, he pointed up.
The Taixu Sect chieftain had not forgotten … but was reluctant to part with it.
How could he sell such a good "sun" just like that?
Fortunately, there was a similar premium-grade soul treasure in the Taixu Sect's treasure vault that could be used as a replacement. Though it was not as good as the sun in the sky, it was fine as long as it could shine.
He went outside and grabbed at the air, only to see the moon in the sky vanishing as the sun rose. The rising sun quickly fell, shrinking as it fell, and eventually turned into a crimson spirit orb that fell into the Taixu Sect chieftain's hand.
He cast a spell to cut off his connection to the scarlet spirit pearl and passed it to Jiang He.
Jiang He took the scarlet spirit pearl and fiddled with it, feeling very delighted. It was similar to the glass orbs he played with as a child, and there was even a flame pattern on it.
"A mediocre-grade sage item …"
"If I plant it, it would definitely become a superior-grade sage item, or even a premium-grade sage item. I could even earn a wave of Farm Points along the way — what a steal!" With that thought in mind, Jiang He took out the Sky Demon Bell even as he put away the scarlet spirit pearl. With a gentle push, the bell flew towards the Taixu Sect chieftain.
He raised his head and looked at the horizon.
Though the full moon had faded, Jiang He could vaguely sense it.
Yes.
He would let it hang at the Taixu Sect for a while, and he would definitely bring it away the next time he came.
"Young Jiang He."
Before Jiang He left the Taixu Sect, the Taixu Sect chieftain mused to himself and spoke seriously, "Chaos is upon us, and the many secluded immortal sects and demonic sects would soon show themselves. The ancient daemon cultivators had left many Holy Grounds as well, and Earth would definitely be in chaos when the time comes."
Jiang He smiled faintly and waved him off. "It's fine. You guys go about your lives while I plant my land. I wouldn't care as long as you don't provoke me, but I, Jiang He, am not to be trifled with if anyone tries to run wild over my head."
The Taixu Sect chieftain did a double take.
He sensed immeasurably powerful confidence from Jiang He, and promptly said, "Don't be careless, young Jiang He. Secluded immortal sects like us would usually stay away from the mortal realm even if we show ourselves, and try our best to avoid contact with mortals."
"But those demonic sects are different. They are good at using the souls and blood of living creatures as a guide to cultivate and refine treasures. Many ancient demon clans also like to eat humans. In ancient times, there were demon clan mighty figures who protected a region with good weather so that they could eat the young boys and girls that were sacrificed to them every month. Some demon clan mighty figures even kept humans in captivity as food."
"…"
Jiang He, who had been nonchalant at first, did a double take.
In his mind, a scene appeared ….
You could be farming at home, sunbathing with your maids, only to have a daemonic cloud appear out of nowhere, wanting to capture you and eat you. How disappointing would that be?
Damn it!
Furious, Jiang He exclaimed, "Aren't you cultivators very concerned about karma and negative karma? Aren't those daemons afraid of getting caught up in negative karma by simply eating humans? "
That was how it was written in many novels.
Those superior beings would develop negative karma if they dared to slaughter mortals, which had to be offset with merit. Without merit, they could only rely on their own abilities to grind over the years, and there would be calamities if the negative karma became too heavy.
Still, the truth was clearly different from the novels.
The Taixu Sect chieftain said, "Negative karma is not frightening for elites, and many demonic cultivators would cultivate their godly techniques with the power of negative karma."
Jiang He sighed and did not mention the matter again.
He was too weak, and anything he said now was just empty talk. Still, since the secluded demonic sects and daemonic cultivators would not show themselves for the time being, he would leave them alone. Who knows, he might be invincible when they show up?
When that happens, he would pick out a few troublemakers and directly destroy them. He would not believe that he could not intimidate them.
He offered a fist-palm salute.
Farewell.
Jiang He flew out of Mount Kunlun, directly turning into a sword light and disappearing into the night sky …
He returned home and planted the spirit condensation pellets.
After that, he would create item refinement and pellet refinement manuals, and Wang Hou would probably be able to deliver the mutated rice to him. After that, he would head overseas.
"Hmmm …"
"After I finish planting these things and come back from overseas, I should be able to improve my cultivation a little, right?"
"When that happens, I could think about how to deal with the Sky Demons."
Sigh!
So annoying.
Jiang He had the feeling that he would go bald ahead of time if this continued.
A bunch of problems would pop up every few days … secluded demonic sects, ancient daemonic cultivators, the Sky Demons, and other extraterrestrial races …
"If I had the power, I would blow up Earth and be done with it once and for all …"
