The Eastern Continent.

Ever since a mysterious person arrived in the Eastern Continent, the atmosphere has been tense, and all the major sects are on high alert.

As a result, after they destroyed the Heavenly Saint Sect, there was no further follow-up.

Just when everyone thought he had left, he suddenly reappeared and stormed into the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.

The Hunyuan Immortal Sect is the number one immortal sect in the Eastern Continent. If it is also destroyed, the strength of the entire Eastern Continent will regress by several hundred years.

Therefore, when other sects heard the news, they rushed over regardless of the danger to their lives.

Yu Yangzi looked at the person standing in mid-air. Although he was extremely nervous, he asked without any change in expression, "I wonder what brings the Venerable One to my Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"

Fu Yu looked at him coldly and asked, "I've heard that you have transactions involving elixirs with Fuchen Mountain. Is that true?"

Yu Yangzi didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded truthfully, "Yes, once a month."

The other sect disciples and sect leaders who arrived all showed enthusiastic expressions.

Only Yang Qingling was secretly laughing. Their Qingling Sect always conducted their transactions with Fuchen Mountain in a very discreet manner, so she was certain that almost no one knew about them.

Fortunately, she had thought things through earlier; otherwise, this powerful figure might have come after her Qingling Sect.

Fu Yu twirled the porcelain bottle in his hand. He couldn't even tell what the pills inside were made of, but their effects were surprisingly good.

"How many coins are traded in one transaction?"

Yu Yangzi frowned. "Before, it was ten coins once a month, but now it's a hundred coins once a month."

Fu Yu frowned. "That's too little."

He waited for ten days at the foot of Fuchen Mountain, but he couldn't do anything about the barrier.

Leya's death was never investigated; they couldn't even find her body.

Just as he was getting irritable, the brother brought over the Spirit Nourishing Pill, which was touted outside as costing 1,500 low-grade spirit stones per pill.

This elixir is actually no worse than immortal artifact elixirs. It can improve cultivation without any side effects. Although the effect is slight, the fact that it has no side effects makes up for it.

He tried to analyze which medicinal herbs were used to make it, but found that he couldn't identify a single ingredient.

Not only does it taste different from other elixirs, but it also needs to be chewed like meat.

He had his two brothers collect all the pills outside, but there were only a few hundred of them.

After some investigation, the two brothers learned that these pills all came from Fuchen Mountain.

Fu Yu was in a terrible mood at the time, and he almost destroyed a nearby mountain.

The two brothers huddled together in fear and told him that the nearby Hunyuan Immortal Sect had a partnership with Fuchen Mountain, so he came looking for them.

He thinks it's too little, but other sects wouldn't.

Especially those sects that have never had any dealings with Fuchen Mountain.

The sect leader of Tianfu Sect sighed inwardly, lamenting his past overconfidence and how he had offended Fuchen Mountain.

Fu Yu looked at Yu Yangzi and said coldly, "I will need to participate in the monthly transactions with Fuchen Mountain from now on."

"I will stay here for a while, and prepare a fine courtyard for me."

He refused to believe that he couldn't conquer Fuchen Mountain.

Now, he not only wants the divine beast, but also wants to take the alchemist back with him.

Yu Yangzi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had come for the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

"Please forgive us, Venerable One, this matter is not something our Hunyuan Immortal Sect can decide..."

Fu Yu sneered, "That's your business. I only want the Spirit Nourishing Pill."

"I believe you all know about the destruction of the Heavenly Saint Sect. I do not want to start another massacre, so it's best not to force me to take action."

Yu Yangzi took a deep breath, "This matter..."

"I wonder which region you come from. Is your behavior somewhat inappropriate?" After saying this, Gu Yunxiao landed next to Yu Yangzi.

Upon seeing him, Yu Yangzi immediately relaxed his brows and said, "Disciple greets Grandmaster."

"Greetings, Grandmaster!" All the disciples in the square bowed in unison.

The patriarch has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he should be able to deal with this person, everyone thought so.

Gu Yunxiao raised her hand and looked at Fu Yu.

Fu Yu saw Gu Yunxiao's cultivation level and laughed contemptuously, "You think you're qualified to ask?"

Seeing that he couldn't see through Gu Yunxiao's cultivation level, he knew that Gu Yunxiao was definitely not from the Ten Domains. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I know that you are a Venerable from the Upper Domain, but your request is not something we can decide."

"Those pills were said to be a transaction with Fuchen Mountain, but they were merely a gift from Fuchen Mountain to our Hunyuan Immortal Sect."

“Our Hunyuan Immortal Sect is protected by Fuchen Mountain. After we pay our monthly tribute, Fuchen Mountain will reward us with some Spirit Nourishing Pills and Spirit Elixir.”

"As for the Spirit-Nourishing Pills that have been lost, we don't know whether they were given by Fuchen Mountain."

Gu Yunxiao's words not only absolved the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, but also made it clear that everything was up to Fuchen Mountain. If you wanted pills, go to Fuchen Mountain; going to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect would be useless.

The reason he came to the Hunyuan Immortal Sect to ask for pills is because he couldn't crack the tough nut of Fuchen Mountain, so he picked on the easy target.

Now let me tell you, even this seemingly easy target isn't so easy to handle anymore.

Fu Yu's face was cold. "Your number one sect in the Eastern Continent will become a vassal of Fuchen Mountain?"

Do you think I'm stupid?

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Sir, although I don't know how the Heavenly Saint Sect offended you, I do know that you are not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise you wouldn't have reached your current level of cultivation."

"Furthermore, our Hunyuan Immortal Sect is protected by Fuchen Mountain, but it is not a vassal. Fuchen Mountain is a place of worship for our Hunyuan Immortal Sect."

"You wouldn't want to offend Fuchen Mountain, would you?"

Fu Yu didn't want to offend the divine beast of Fuchen Mountain, as he wasn't sure what its cultivation level was.

If I can't defeat him and end up offending him, I might not even be able to return to the Four Seas.

Every word the patriarch of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect uttered hit the nail on the head.

Seeing Fu Yu's ever-changing expression, Gu Yunxiao gave him a way out, since it's best not to offend him if possible.

Who knows if Fuchen Mountain will lend a hand?

"If you do not have a place to stay for the time being, our Hunyuan Immortal Sect will welcome you with open arms."

"Would you be willing to settle down at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"

Fu Yu did want to, but he had just said he would destroy someone else's sect, and now he was going to move in. Even though he prided himself on his strength, he felt a little embarrassed.

"No, I have my own place to stay."

"Although I am unwilling to offend Fuchen Mountain, I will not let the Spirit Nourishing Pill go unpunished. Therefore, you will each hand over a portion of the Spirit Nourishing Pills you receive each month to me."

"Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. For fifty Spirit Gathering Pills, I will give you ten mid-grade spirit stones."

Yu Yangzi's lips twitched. Ten mid-grade spirit stones could only be exchanged for ten Spirit Gathering Pills.

He only gave them ten mid-grade pills out of fifty Spirit Gathering Pills, and he still had the nerve to say he wouldn't let them suffer a loss. Sure enough, the higher the cultivation level, the thicker the skin.

Gu Quxiao almost couldn't help but curse, and took a deep breath and said, "You are really generous, sir. One of these Spirit Nourishing Pills would cost 1,500 low-grade spirit stones outside."

“It would cost a thousand coins to buy one mid-grade spirit stone at Fuchen Mountain. If you really need it, I can make a trip to Fuchen Mountain to buy some for you.”
