Originally, Qin Shujian had planned to find an opportunity to inquire about the identity of the person who bid against him after the auction ended.
When he was free.
He would pay a visit to the other party's sect.
But Li Fei was so tactful now.
On the contrary, it made it difficult for him to make a move.
After all, it was normal to compete with each other in an auction. The other party had even personally delivered five hundred thousand taels of silver.
So in comparison.
Not only did he not lose anything in this auction, but he also earned two special martial arts and thirty thousand taels of silver.
"One doesn't hit a smiling person. A dignified sect master can do this to this extent. Li Fei knows when to yield and when to stand tall. It's a good thing that the Nine Rivers Sect has such a sect master."
Qin Shujian shook his head and decided not to find trouble with the Nine Rivers Sect for the time being.
A person like Li Fei who was so tactful.
Now, there wasn't much left.
He sat there and continued to study the Celestial Light Alchemy Amulet and the Ancestral Book of Casting. Not long after, he felt three auras approaching. One of them was more familiar. It came from Yue Shihong.
"They're here!"
Qin Shujian ended his study and waved his hand to open the door with his Qi. Yue Shihong, who was standing at the door, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, was slightly startled.
Behind him stood a young man and a young woman.
Seeing this, they were also somewhat surprised.
But Yue Shihong reacted quickly and led the two into the room. He then introduced, "This is Sect Master Qin of the Nine Rivers Sect."
Then he said to Qin Shujian, "These two are the people Sect Master Qin wants to see."
"Shen Yuqing of the Alchemy Sect greets Sect Master Qin!"
"Shen Yuhua of the Alchemy Sect greets Sect Master Qin!"
The young man and woman also cupped their hands and bowed.
Yue Shihong said, "Take your time, I won't disturb you."
After that.
He retreated and closed the door of the room.
"Please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Sect Master Qin!"
Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua glanced at each other slightly and then sat down somewhat cautiously.
After all, the person opposite them didn't look much older than them.
But when it came to identity.
But it was far from what they could compare to.
The Origin Sect was now an overlord power in the True Dominion. The Sect Master of the Origin Sect even had the title of the number one expert in the True Dominion. Even though this title was only acknowledged by a small number of people, there was still a lot of exaggeration.
But no matter what.
This meant that the other party's current position was unshakable.
After the two of them sat down.
Qin Shujian's Spiritual Eye also moved, and the other party's attributes appeared in his eyes.
Name: Shen Yuqing
Title:
Identity:
Affiliation:
Realm: Fifth level of the Martial Realm
— —
Name: Shen Yuhua
Title:
Identity:
Affiliation:
Realm: Fifth level of the Martial Realm
Both of them were at the fifth level of the Martial Realm of Internal Gang.
But besides that.
Everything else was blank.
According to Qin Shujian's conjecture, the Pill Cauldron Sect should have already been annihilated. Hence, their faction no longer existed.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Qin Shujian looked at the two of them pleasantly and said with a faint smile, "I wonder what level the two of you are at in terms of alchemy, blacksmithing, and blacksmithing?"
The young man, Shen Yuqing, cupped his hands and said, "I am not talented. I am only a middle-grade blacksmith. However, I will be able to break through and become a high-grade blacksmith in the future."
Although his tone was calm, it couldn't hide the hidden pride in his voice.
He was already a middle-grade blacksmith at such a young age.
He would be able to become a blacksmith master in the future.
He would be considered a genius in the Pill Cauldron Sect or anywhere else.
Shen Yuhua, who was sitting on the other side, replied in a crisp voice, "I am already a high-grade alchemist."
A high-grade alchemist!
Qin Shujian's eyes narrowed. His expression also changed slightly as he looked at Shen Yuhua.
If a middle-grade blacksmith wasn't enough to catch his attention, then …
A high-grade alchemist was not bad.
"You can refine elixirs of the Spirit Martial Realm?"
"I just broke through, so I can only refine level-five elixirs. I still need some time to refine level-six elixirs," Shen Yuhua said as she shook her head.
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian wasn't too disappointed.
Level-Five elixirs were also of great help to physical invulnerability cultivators.
As for level-six elixirs, they were already at the level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
Even if she could refine them, for the current Yuan Zong, they were not as useful as level-five elixirs.
Thinking of this.
Qin Shujian picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the spiritual tea. He looked at the two and said, "You two belong to the Pill Cauldron Sect. However, it is said that the Pill Cauldron Sect has been destroyed.
I will not beat around the bush. If you are willing to join my Yuan Zong, I can set up two halls of alchemy and blacksmithing. You two will be the elders.
As for the people who are chasing you from behind, I will also take care of them. What do you think? "
Hearing this.
Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua were both stunned.
Then, the two of them looked at each other. They didn't expect Qin Shujian to be so straightforward.
When Qin Shujian wanted to see them.
In fact, the two had some vague guesses in their hearts. However, they didn't dare to be sure.
Now that the matter was out in the open, they were a little surprised.
Shen Yuqing didn't agree immediately. Instead, she asked tentatively, "Don't you want to know who the enemy behind the Pill Cauldron Sect is?"
"Could it be the imperial court?"
"No …"
Qin Shujian immediately waved his hand and sneered, "Since it's not the imperial court, what does my Yuan Zong have to fear? Even if it's a big sect of the Spirit Domain, it has to kneel in front of me!"
It was a simple sentence.
However, it showed Qin Shujian's strong inner confidence.
Except for the imperial court.
Yuan Zong didn't fear any sect.
This was the confidence of a level-four force. It was also the confidence of having a Taoist Artifact.
As the lord of a domain.
It was the confidence that he should have.
Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua were suddenly speechless.
Qin Shujian's powerful confidence made them unable to say the words they wanted to say in their hearts.
The two of them looked at each other.
Finally, Shen Yuqing said, "If Sect Master Qin's words are true, then we will join Yuan Zong!"
"I never speak nonsense!"
"Shen Yuqing (Shen Yuhua) greets the Sect Master!"
The two of them immediately got up and bowed.
Qin Shujian sat there motionlessly, waiting for them to finish their greetings. Then, he smiled and said, "Elders, please take a seat!"
Hearing this.
The two of them sat down.
When he looked at them with his spiritual eye, Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua's attributes had already appeared in his eyes.
The former's loyalty was 75 points.
The latter's loyalty was 78 points.
This kind of loyalty wasn't very high. However, it was good that they had just joined Yuan Zong. It proved that Yuan Zong's name was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian found Yue Shihong and said, "I would like to purchase some spiritual tea. What kind of high-quality spiritual tea do you have?"
"There are seven levels of spiritual tea. Now we have some third-level spiritual tea. The price is fifty thousand taels of silver per tael. It will be of great help to the cultivation of the Real Martial Realm."
"Then give me five taels!"
As he spoke, Qin Shujian felt his heart ache.
Five taels of spiritual tea.
It was equivalent to two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.
Even if it was tea, it was clearly drinking money.
However, he had already asked. As the Sect Master of Yuan Zong, he couldn't buy second-level spiritual tea. Moreover, he would feel too shabby if he bought less.
Hearing this.
Yue Shihong smiled and said, "What Sect Master Qin wants is just right. We only have fifth-level, third-level spiritual tea left. If you want more, I can't take it out."
Immediately after.
Qin Shujian asked Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua what they needed to refine pills and forge.
Then, he spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Finally, when he looked at the storage ring and saw that there were less than two hundred thousand taels left, he didn't want to talk anymore.
However —
These were all necessary expenses.
Needless to say, spiritual tea.
The rest of the things were necessary for refining pills and forging. Otherwise, even an upper-grade alchemist couldn't refine pills out of thin air.
After arranging for Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua to rest temporarily, Qin Shujian set off to find Lin Wanyou.
"Sect Master Qin, did the auction go well?"
"Not bad."
Speaking of this, Qin Shujian was also in a good mood.
This time, he got the martial arts he wanted and also roped in two special talents.
Subsequently.
He continued, "This time, I came to find Chief Steward Lin because there is one more thing I need your help with."
"What is it?"
"I want to collect some Yuan Eroding Bone Powder. Do you have any way to do it?"
"Yuan Eroding Bone Powder!?"
Lin Wanyou was also obviously stunned for a moment.
Of course, he knew what Yuan Eroding Bone Powder was.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Eroding Bone Powder is formed after the death of the evil spirit. The evil spirit that was born today has long been killed or sealed.
The Yuan Eroding Bone Powder that was left behind has probably drifted away with the wind.
After all, Sect Master Qin also knows that although the Yuan Eroding Bone Powder is extremely poisonous, it has no other use. Very few people would collect this thing. "
"I naturally understand this. If there is news of the Yuan Eroding Bone Powder, Chief Steward Lin can send a message to the Origin Sect or help to offer a high reward."
"Alright, when there is news, I will naturally inform Sect Master Qin."
"Thank you very much!"
After inquiring about the Yuan Eroding Bone Powder.
Qin Shujian chatted with the other party for a while more and then got up to leave.
After bidding farewell to Lin Wanyou.
He then called for Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua. Then, he left Bi Feng City and headed in the direction of Yuan Sect.
Originally, with Qin Shujian's speed.
It would only take two days to return to the Origin Sect.
However, although Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua's strength was not bad, their speed was not fast. It took them more than a day to enter the boundary of the Blue River True Dominion.
On a road with few people.
However, there were five people blocking their way.
Qin Shujian looked at the five people in front of him indifferently. When his Spirit Eye swept past them, their cultivation levels appeared in his eyes.
Three tenth-level True Martial Realm cultivators!
Two eighth-level True Martial Realm cultivators!
They were all cultivators at the Physical Aura Realm.
Seeing this …
His eyes flickered.
Five cultivators at the Physical Aura Realm was a powerful force in the True Dominion. Furthermore, there were three tenth-level True Martial Realm cultivators among them, who were enough to determine the sect master of a sect.
When he saw the power that the five of them belonged to …
Qin Shujian was slightly surprised.
The Celestial Sect?
In his memory, there was no sect master called the Celestial Sect in the North Cloud Mansion's True Dominion. Furthermore, there was no sect that had so many experts at the peak of the True Martial Realm.
Based on the change in Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua's pale faces, the situation was basically clear.
Shen Yuhua took a small step back and said in a trembling voice, "Sect Master, these are the people sent by the power that destroyed the Elixir Tripod Sect."
Shen Yuqing's face was also pale. At the same time, she secretly activated her Quintessential Essence, preparing to unleash a deadly attack at any time.
Qin Shujian had said that he was not afraid of the power that destroyed the Elixir Tripod Sect.
However, what was the real situation?
They couldn't be 100% sure.
If Qin Shujian turned around and betrayed them in the face of pressure from the Celestial Sect, they would have no one to cry to.
"I am Luo Jiang, an outer sect elder of the Celestial Sect in the Fallen Dust Spirit Protectorate. Greetings, Sect Master Qin of the Origin Sect!" The leader of the five people was a middle-aged man in yellowish-brown clothes. His cheeks were slightly sunken, and he cupped his hands.
After he finished speaking …
The scene was silent.
Qin Shujian just looked at him indifferently and didn't say a word.
A haze flashed across Luo Jiang's eyes. Soon after, he cupped his hands together and said, "Sect Leader Qin, the two people behind you are wanted by my Celestial Sect. I hope that you can return them to us. I will be extremely grateful!"
"Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua are already elders of the Origin Sect. No matter what grudges they had with the Celestial Sect, no one can touch them after they enter the Origin Sect!"
Upon hearing this …
On the other hand, Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhua were visibly more relaxed.
Luo Jiang's face was ugly as he said in a low voice, "The Celestial Sect has no intention of becoming enemies with the Origin Sect. Why do you have to make things difficult for the Celestial Sect for two mere remnants of the Elixir Tripod Sect?"
If it had been someone else …
He would have already taken action.
However, the person standing in front of him was Qin Shujian, the Sect Master of the Origin Sect. Hence, Luo Jiang did not completely fall out with him.
If it had been in the Spirit Protectorate …
The Celestial Sect would not have been too afraid of a sect that only had a peak True Martial Realm expert. Even if it had a Dao artifact guarding the sect.
However, in the True Dominion …
The Celestial Sect had no choice but to treat a True Dominion overlord like the Origin Sect with caution.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Please don't misunderstand, Sect Master Qin. I'm just stating a fact. The Origin Sect is also an overlord in the True Dominion. Why should we offend the Celestial Sect for two mere remnants?
You should know that the Celestial Sect also has a Dao artifact guarding the sect and many experts of the Spirit Martial Realm.
My sect master has heard of your name and wishes to befriend you. Why don't you hand over the two of them? Our two sects might even be on good terms! "
"It seems like you're indeed threatening me!"
Qin Shujian nodded his head.
The next moment …
The expression in his eyes changed abruptly.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted. The vast Quintessential Essence condensed into a solid palm aura that suppressed Luo Jiang and the others.
The moment he attacked …
Luo Jiang and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They were all peak True Martial Realm experts, but they actually felt a huge threat from this palm.
They did not dare hesitate.
The five of them unleashed a powerful attack. The terrifying Quintessential Essence condensed together and collided heavily with the palm aura.
In an instant …
A terrifying gale spread and engulfed everything in the surroundings.
After one exchange …
Luo Jiang immediately shouted, "Let's retreat!"
