Three months later.
"Si Yu greets Sect Master and two Elders!" Si Yu walked into the back hall, looking travel-worn. She bowed to the few of them.
"Hey, Little Green!" Shen Ying waved a hand in greeting out of habit. Si Yu's eyes lit up. Her tired face brightened.
"You're back?" Lonemoon glanced at her. "How was it? Did everything go well?"
"Yes!" Si Yu nodded. She took out a storage bag from her side and handed it over. "I've completed the task that Elder asked me to do. Exalted Immortal Shu asked me to pass this to Elder. "
"What?" Shen Ying asked curiously. She had not seen Little Green for a few days. Father Niu had sent her out.
"The rest of the payment," Lonemoon answered. He opened the storage bag. A white light flashed out. The few of them were almost blinded by the immortal stones that were stuffed into the bag.
This … so much!
Shen Ying and his pauper friends were all stunned!
"Didn't I give Shu Jiang a few talismans to auction?" Lonemoon used his divine perception to confirm that there was no mistake. He kept the bag. "Looking at the time, he should have sold a portion of them. That's why I sent Si Yu to collect the rest of the payment."
Father Niu indeed. Those few Air Talismans that he sold were really sold? And it looked like they were not cheap.
Lonemoon suddenly thought of something. He turned to the person beside him and said, "Yi Qing, the array that I asked you to set up around the demonic Qi to counter divine perception – have you done it?"
"Mm." Yi Qing nodded. He poured a cup of tea for Shen Ying. "I set it up yesterday."
"That's good!" This way, he could let the first batch of people who bought the talismans enter the demonic Qi to train. What's more, that area was isolated by an array. It would not allow immortals who entered to disturb the cultivation of the sect's disciples. It would also not expose the truth about the demonic Qi. What's more, that array was taught to Yi Qing by Xun Shu. Ordinary people would not be able to break through it.
"Oh yes, has Yu Hong returned?" Lonemoon suddenly thought of something else.
Si Yu shook her head. "I did not meet Senior Sister on my way back."
Lonemoon counted the time. Indeed, it was not time to return yet. He let Si Yu rest and was about to discuss the matter of demonic Qi when he realized that the two people beside him were already happily discussing the matter of additional meals.
"We have money. Chef, we can start preparing the afternoon tea."
"Master, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine, like shredded melon, diced pheasant, mixed jellyfish, asparagus, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, slices of magnolia, mixed mandarin duck, braised fish head … and so on!"
"Yes, Master! No problem, master! "
Lonemoon: "…"
These two prodigals!

Shang Dong immortal residence.
"What did you say?" The corner of Xun Shu's mouth twitched. He looked at the woman in front of him, who looked very mature. For a moment, he thought he had heard wrongly. "Who told you to come here?"
"I am the eldest disciple of Invincible Sect." Yu Hong stepped forward and cupped her fists again. "Elder Lonemoon of my sect asked me to come."
Xun Shu's expression darkened. "Say that again. Why did he ask you to come here?"
Yu Hong's expression did not change at all. She repeated what she had just said unhurriedly. "My elder said that Young Emperor Xun is kind and generous. He promised that if our sect had any problems, we could look for him. But our sect does not lack anything except for a batch of immortal weapons. Our sect is very sorry to let Young Emperor work so hard. So … we will prepare the materials for refining weapons ourselves. Please, Young Emperor, help us refine a few immortal weapons. "
"You call this a few? Do you think I don't know how to count? " Xun Shu pointed at the storage bags on the table and almost threw them back at her face. "The materials for a few immortal weapons in your sect need to be stored in dozens of storage bags!" Don't think I don't know. That's all the materials you dug up in the Immortal Territory!
"Thank you, Young Emperor!" Yu Hong bowed again.
"Get lost!" Xun Shu glared at her. Indeed, this disciple of Invincible Sect was as annoying as those three people. "I am not a blacksmith for free. If you want immortal weapons, find someone else!"
Yu Hong glanced at the storage bags on the table. Unexpectedly, she did not insist. She stepped forward and picked up the bag. "Our elder said that if Young Emperor is not free, there is no need to force yourself."
Xun Shu looked at her in surprise. She was giving up so quickly? This was not like those little rascals' personality! But she added respectfully, "Our Invincible Sect does not force others to do things against their will. We are not ungrateful people!"
"…" Was she scolding him?
"Our elder also said that he is very grateful for Young Emperor's help in the Immortal Territory. He will personally visit with our sect master to congratulate Young Emperor on your reunion with your people."
"…" Was this a threat? This was definitely it!
"I will take my leave!"
"Come back!" Xun Shu felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He gritted his teeth and snatched the bag of materials from her hands. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'll. Refine!" Damn it! The point was that he was really being threatened. Anyone but Shen Ying could do it!
"Thank you, Young Emperor!" Yu Hong hurriedly thanked him. Suddenly, she took out a booklet from her side and handed it over. "My elder said that this is the list of immortal weapons that you need to refine. You just have to follow the numbers on it."
Xun Shu subconsciously took it, but he didn't hold it properly. The other end of the booklet fell with a whoosh, and instantly pulled out a list that was a few meters long. On the list, there were thousands of weapons' names written in tiny characters.
Yu Hong: "…"
Xun Shu: "…"
He could vaguely hear a snapping sound in his head.
A moment later …
"Get lost!" A roar reverberated through the entire Shang Dong Immortal Abode, spreading for hundreds of miles …

Something strange had happened in the immortal realm recently. Exalted Immortal Shu's "Treasure Tower" would auction a few spirit transmission talismans every few months. It was said that through these talismans, one's divine perception could be sent to a holy land. Inside the holy land, one's divine perception would be able to improve rapidly, be it in terms of cultivation, immortal techniques, state of mind and divine perception. It did not matter what cultivation one had.
This news caused an uproar among the immortals. Especially after the first batch of immortals who had entered the holy land came out. A few of them did indeed improve their cultivation. There were even immortals who had not improved in ten thousand years who broke through to the next realm. In an instant, the news spread throughout the entire country of Chong Zhen. Everyone rushed to the Treasure Tower, hoping to get a spirit transmission talisman that could lead them to the holy land.
Unfortunately, this talisman was very rare. Every few months or even half a year, only a few would be auctioned at the Treasure Tower. Moreover, the price would rise. Each talisman could be sold for hundreds of thousands. Millions of supreme-grade immortal stones were still hard to get.
Because of this, the immortals all felt some resentment towards the Treasure Tower, who had the source of this talisman. But there was nothing they could do. There were also people who wanted to find the holy land, but no matter how hard they looked, they could not find its exact location.
Apart from the people of Invincible Sect, whose cultivation levels rose rapidly and whose hands were cramping from counting money.
