Chapter 353 Viewing the Danwu Heavenly Curtain
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan returned to the city tower, then left the ancient city and entered their residence on Qianyuan Island.
As previously stated, the two opened the Danwu Heavenly Curtain.
The five familiar light spots represent five different sections.
Zhong Cai directly activated the red light spot representing the resource trading section.
There are multiple trading areas, each marked with a different name.
The order in which these spot transactions are arranged is based on the success rate and the evaluation of the transaction.
Zhong Cai then opened the "Trading Building" section, which was the one at the very top of the list.
·
The light screens of the Lingxian Sect and the War God Temple are interconnected, and both sects can freely browse any public section. After a post is published, the cultivators discussing it are often a mix of disciples from both sects.
However, when it comes to rewards, the system usually uses the points from the company that provides the goods, and only the company's own disciples can obtain these rewards by completing tasks or accepting bounties.
For example, when watching movies, although disciples of the Lingxian Sect can see what kind of videos the elders of the War God Hall are doing, the videos will be priced in martial arts points. The martial arts cultivators of the Lingxian Sect only have alchemy points, so they cannot buy the videos from the War God Hall.
The trading area is special; resources are purchased with Xuan Stones and Xuan Pearls, not in points, so disciples from both sides can buy freely.
Behind these trading venues are numerous channels. Most of them are actually jointly established by one or more factions within the two forces, and are considered "private." Furthermore, due to the extremely close relationship between the two forces, many trading venues are even owned by both factions... For example, they may belong to two different forces but become Daoist partners, along with their respective factions.
In short, there are many situations.
The trading building is the largest and most complete one.
The "Public Treasury" was jointly established by the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall.
The resources provided by the two factions will be allocated to these two factions; when disciples of the two factions have fortuitous encounters outside and sell them to the two factions, after being divided up, some will go directly into the internal treasuries of the two factions, while others will be sent to the public treasury, allowing the disciples of the two factions to "buy online".
Naturally, if the disciples of both families wanted any resources, they would first go to the trading building to look for them.
Following that were the trading pavilions mainly run by the Lingxian Sect and the trading halls mainly run by the War God Hall.
Then came the different factions that created them, such as Trading Markets One, Two, Three... and so on...
Even ordinary disciples can open a shop directly "online".
However, due to limited page space, only the top 100 most popular trading sites can be grouped into named sections and displayed on the page.
Other shops can only be found by searching for their names or using other functions.
·
Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai huddled together, browsing the exhibits together.
Zhong Cai quickly moved to the [Trading Building - Level 9 Resources] section.
In an instant, twenty kinds of level nine resources appeared.
But there were only twenty kinds, not even enough to fill the first page.
Zhong Cai searched thoroughly but found no top-grade refining materials.
The first thing I saw was a level nine Immortal-Preserving Pill, which can provide Xuan Power for cultivators to cultivate. It is the most common level nine pill.
Even though it's common, only the sect leader Ji Zhan in the entire Lingxian Sect knows how to refine it, and there are no more than thirty people in the entire vast top-tier continent who can refine it, making it extremely rare.
Moreover, this is only a mid-grade one.
Of course, this elixir is also very valuable.
A level nine pill often costs more than one million high-grade Xuan stones, while a mid-grade Immortal-Retaining Pill is priced at one million five hundred thousand.
·
There are only two Tongtians in total between the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall. The pills needed by Pei Xiaoling, the Grand Hall Master of the War God Hall, were directly provided by Ji Zhan, so there was no need for him to order them online... Therefore, the appearance of these pills not only showcases part of the Lingxian Sect's resources, but also prepares them for other Pill Emperors who have already reached the eighth level, giving them the opportunity to buy them and observe, so as to prepare for their future breakthrough to the ninth level Pill Master.
The one with the greatest hope is Emperor Xiao Zinuodan.
As the most powerful Pill Emperor in the Lingxian Sect, he has already stepped into the level of a ninth-level Pill Master, but it is extremely difficult to cross that last step. No one knows when he will suddenly gain enlightenment and break through, or whether he will remain stuck at this level for hundreds or thousands of years.
·
Next came three level-nine rare and precious materials, which were also beneficial to cultivation and gentle in nature, making them usable even for cultivators who had not yet reached the Heavenly Realm.
The leaves, flowers, and fruits of a level-nine rare herb are not the whole plant, but they still fall within the level-nine category.
There are also level nine defensive artifacts—this is the most numerous, and it should mainly be for the protection of alchemists.
There are also a few offensive magical artifacts, but their quality is relatively low. It is likely that those martial arts cultivators at the peak of Nirvana in the War God Temple can try them out.
There was also the blood of a ninth-tier rare beast, edible meat, and so on—undoubtedly, this was hunted by Pei Xiaoling—or perhaps, it could be Lou Chuan. After all, Lou Chuan was the First Hall Master and the strongest Nirvana cultivator in the War God Hall.
However, there are no martial arts techniques or secret skills included.
Because these resources are not available for online shopping, but are located in a secret place used by the two factions to store books, they can be exchanged there by spending "currency" such as alchemy points, martial arts points, or mystic stones.
·
Zhong Cai scanned them one by one, and sure enough, they were all useless to him.
He wasn't even interested in fragments of level-nine rare herbs—he already had quite a few complete level-nine rare herbs on hand.
Zhong Cai could even say without any modesty that, in terms of the total number of level nine rare herbs he possessed, he should rank in the middle among all level nine alchemists.
Zhong Cai's gaze fell on the blood of the rare beast.
Most of it is ordinary blood, but there is also a drop of phoenix essence blood.
The price of essence blood is at least one million high-grade Xuan stones. The value of the beast core of the same kind of rare beast is about two or three times that of essence blood.
The drop of phoenix essence blood before us is worth 1.7 million high-grade Xuan stones—which means that the ninth-tier rare beast that provided the essence blood is extremely powerful, and should be at least a powerful beast of the ninth tier, third stage.
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment and said to Wu Shaogan, "I remember we agreed that besides the bee eggs, there were a few other resources to be traded to the two factions?"
Wu Shaogan nodded: "The beast core of the volcanic beast, and half of the sweet dew from the Pure Rhyme Immortal Pool."
Zhong Cai said, "The volcanic beast is definitely not as good as the rare beast Luan and Phoenix. Its essence blood is only worth a million at most. As for the price of the beast core... I think it should be around two million high-grade Xuan stones."
Wu Shaogan agreed, saying, "That's already a fair price."
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment, then said, "I can't calculate the price of Qingyun Ganlu in a short time."
Wu Shaogan thought for a moment and said, "Its use for alchemists is no less than that of a ninth-grade pill, but it can also be taken by Nirvana cultivators. If the price is too high, Nirvana cultivators will find it difficult to buy it."
Zhong Cai agreed, but...
"But if I price it according to the standards for an eighth-grade pill, I'll be losing money."
The two exchanged a glance.
Zhong Cai first took out the Qingyun Immortal Pool.
Twelve drops of nectar remain inside.
Each month, a drop of nectar will condense, but if it is not taken out of the pool within a year, it will re-enter the Pure Rhyme Pearl, nourishing and replenishing it.
Once taken out of the pool, it can be stored for a long time and can be refined at any time.
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment and said, "We've already agreed that we'll sell half and save the other half."
After pondering for a while, Wu Shaogan suggested, "The Qingyun Pearl can only last for seven days and is only useful to alchemists. In my opinion, each drop should be sold for 200,000 high-grade Xuan stones."
Zhong Cai blinked and thought it was a good idea.
This price is comparable to that of rare and precious eighth-grade pills, yet only 20% of the price of ordinary ninth-grade pills.
It's alright.
This allows level eight alchemists to cherish it, and level nine alchemists to buy as many as they want.
This will greatly benefit the entire Lingxian Sect.
·
Another one is bee eggs.
Wu Shaogan said, "The bee eggs have extremely high potential and are of great use to the disciples of both factions, so the price can be higher than that of ordinary ninth-order beast embryos and rare beast eggs."
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Two million per pill, it can't be lower than the beast core of the volcanic beast."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "This price is good."
Zhong Cai scratched his chin and said, "However, I still plan to let the two parties estimate the price themselves first. If they offer a higher price, then I will agree without hesitation."
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's only natural."
·
After agreeing on the terms, the two left the trading section and went to their personal pages.
The couple took out all the resources they were about to sell, arranged them separately, activated the recording function with their tokens, and filmed each resource as a "short video." They then uploaded these videos to the [Resource Appraisal - Selling Sect] section.
Zhong Cai sent him nectar and two bee eggs.
Wu Shaogan transmitted the volcanic beast's core, along with two bee eggs.
As previously agreed, they did not set their own prices.
However, while transferring the resource images, both of them took the initiative to say that they were obtained through a fortuitous encounter and were willing to sell them to their respective sects, asking the sects to appraise them and give a suitable price.
·
The video was uploaded very quickly.
Although Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan didn't have much to do, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them left the light screen on and each opened the forum to check out the latest news.
·
Some posts still remain on the forum, recording the changes in the Sky Ranking.
Zhong Cai raised his eyebrows, clicked on the post about the martial arts rankings, and after browsing it for a while, he couldn't help but smile broadly.
[Martial Universe: Did you all see that? Our War God Hall's Junior Brother Wu is still ranked number one!]
[Martial Universe: Although I also think Junior Brother Wu is number one, I have to say that he and Chao Hanxiao take turns being number one.]
[Martial Arts Heavenly Gang: Chao Hanxiao has always been arrogant, but it's strange. He should have been itching to come and fight our Junior Brother Wu to determine the true rankings long ago. Why hasn't he made a move yet?]
[Martial Arts in a Sea of Fire: I know, I know! Chao Hanxiao has been in seclusion recently, focusing on improving his strength. We haven't seen him for months! The changes in the Sky Rankings have only happened in the last few months, right? It's normal that he hasn't noticed since he hasn't come out!]
[Martial Arts Canglan: So, once he emerges from seclusion, Junior Brother Wu will inevitably face a fierce battle!]
[Martial Arts Xuanhuang: I'm really looking forward to it! I wonder how it will turn out!]
[The formidable barrier of martial arts: Chao Hanxiao is so young, his martial arts skills seem limitless. Previously, no matter who fought him, they could never fathom his true strength. Our Junior Brother Wu can take turns being number one with him, which shows that Junior Brother Wu is also extraordinary. If they were to have a real battle like this, it would be of great benefit to us; we definitely can't miss it!]
[Martial Arts in the Azure Sky: I still think Junior Brother Wu is more powerful. How long has it been? He went straight from third to first place! If he wins this battle, our War God Hall will be incredibly proud!]
[I'll wipe them all out: I'm definitely throwing a huge feast when the time comes!]
[Wu Dou Qiongxiao: We'll devour your entire fortune then, and see if you still dare to have such ambitions, and even try to wipe us all out!]
·
Zhong Cai quickly browsed through many posts related to martial arts, most of which were discussing his old man, Wu, and they were all wondering why the rankings on the Sky List had been rotating for so long, which was very rare and strange. They wondered when it would finally be settled.
He felt very proud.
Old Wu is just that amazing!
Moreover, he felt that Chao Hanxiao would definitely be dragged down by Lao Wu in the end!
Because Lao Wu has broken through several minor realms in succession, just by looking at the speed of his progress, it is clear that Chao Hanxiao's talent in martial arts is still inferior to Lao Wu's. Lao Wu's rapid improvement in battle is something that Chao Hanxiao cannot match.
Of course, we'll only know the real result after the match.
·
While Zhong Cai was browsing through posts about martial arts, Wu Shaogan was also browsing through posts about alchemists.
In countless posts, alchemists were all beaming with pride.
[Explosion! Explosion! Don't be fooled by the frequent explosions from our Lingxian Sect disciples; Junior Brother Zhong is amazing! He's so young, yet he managed to take down the fifth-ranked disciple! Who else can do that?!]
[Exploding the Heavens: I've been very happy these past few days because our sect is quite new. Although our sect leader is far ahead of the competition, we younger disciples are still a bit lacking. There aren't many outstanding individuals at the fifth or sixth level, and we need to make even greater progress. But! Ever since Junior Brother Zhong was snatched away to join our sect, we've been riding high!]
[Exploding Flowers: Exactly! Junior Brother Zhong has only been a disciple for a short time! The Sky Ranking hasn't even been updated many times yet, and he's already achieved such outstanding results! In my opinion, it's only fair that our Spirit Immortal Sect allocates even more resources to Junior Brother Zhong!]
[Brother Zha Hei: I agree! Junior Brother Zhong has really made us proud! I've never seen such an outstanding alchemist!]
[Burned Junior Sister's Hair: The Sect Leader is just as outstanding. But if Junior Brother Zhong continues to improve so rapidly and can maintain his level even at level six or seven, then I think Junior Brother Zhong might even surpass his master.]
[Blown to dust: The sect leader will be very happy. First, Xiao Danhuang improved rapidly, and now Junior Brother Zhong is improving even faster.]
[Who hasn't exploded yet: I hope Xiao Danhuang advances to level nine soon, then our Lingxian Sect will be among the top alchemists! Right now, because we're still missing a level nine alchemist, we're still too young compared to the other three established alchemist factions that also have Pill Masters.]
[Exploded: I don't think we need to rush. Those forces have been developing for tens of thousands of years, while our Lingxian Sect is still very young! It's normal to fall short for a while, but it's obvious that Xiao Danhuang could take a step forward at any time, and Junior Brother Zhong's future is also promising. Sooner or later, we will become the most powerful alchemist force on the top continent!]
[Marrying into the Fifth Hall: The War God Hall will definitely become the strongest martial arts force! Look at the other posts, our Junior Brother Zhong's partner, Wu Shaogan, is now taking turns being number one on the rankings with Chao Hanxiao. He's about the same age as Junior Brother Zhong, and his martial arts are also very formidable!]
[The eager-to-marry junior brother: That's fine too. In the future, Junior Brother Zhong and his wife might become the pillars of our two factions! And who knows, maybe one day they'll progress so fast that we won't even be able to catch up with them...]
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan each flipped through the book, both in high spirits.
As they looked around, after reading each other's posts, they also saw some posts talking about the two of them.
The "online names" they chose were quite strange, and the difference between martial arts disciples and alchemy disciples was really too great. However, as they talked, they started talking about how well-matched and loving their two rising stars were, and how they would work together to make progress.
Really...
They were overjoyed!
Later, Zhong Cai simply leaned into Wu Shaogan's arms and watched and laughed with him.
·
As the two of them clicked on the posts one by one, their tokens suddenly trembled slightly and their temperature increased noticeably.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan looked at each other and then opened their respective "personal sections" together.
There, the two of them each received a message.
However, upon seeing the messenger, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged glances again, both raising their eyebrows.
It's an acquaintance... no, it's a familiar elder.
Moreover, it can be said that he was the elder they were most familiar with after they came to the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall.
Zhong Cai's message came from Emperor Xiao Zinuodan.
Wu Shaogan's information came from Lord Louchuan.
What a coincidence.
But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.
Below the sect leader and the main hall master, the most powerful couple, Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan, were originally in charge of most of the affairs of the two factions.
Now that the resources that the disciples of the two families are going to sell to various forces are of such a high level, since the top figures of the two forces are unable to come forward, it is only natural that these two should meet and discuss it in person.
Both factions should respect a disciple who is so devoted to the sect.
·
Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan both wanted the disciples who sent the message to refrain from making any rash moves. They assured the disciples that they would come to discuss the matter in person once the address was provided.
Not only is it fast, but it can also deceive people.
Although these resources were handed over by the two of them, they will not publicize them extensively for the time being.
However, once the deal is successful, it is a foregone conclusion that the two will gain a higher status among their respective factions.
·
It's certainly good that the two elders have come; Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan no longer need to deliver the items separately.
So, they exchanged a knowing smile and quickly gave their respective replies.
Naturally, one should inform others of their names and welcome the elders.
·
Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan were together, but they only kept each other company; their cultivation and business dealings were separate.
So after receiving the news, the two of them quickly checked the recording crystal, made an immediate assessment, and confirmed that there was no problem before hurriedly replying.
Even juniors like Zhong and Wu know how to utilize those resources, let alone these two experienced mentors.
So, the couple decided to talk to each other in person, and after seeing the reply, they both looked surprised.
The two turned around and spoke at the same time.
"Brother Chuan, I need to go out for a bit..."
"Zinuo, I want..."
The couple had just started to speak when they both fell silent and looked at each other.
They also provided an explanation:
"I received a message from Zhong Cai."
"I received a message from Wu Xiaozhi."
Xiao Zinuo smiled.
Lou Chuan's expression was not significant, but there was clearly a slight smile on his lips.
Both of them said, "Let's go together."
During the journey, Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan communicated telepathically, sharing what they had seen with each other.
The two also discussed how to price these resources.
For two junior disciples to have the opportunity to obtain such high-level resources is already an extraordinary stroke of luck. Furthermore, their willingness to relinquish them and actively trade with two different factions demonstrates their exceptional character.
In addition to the achievements these two have made over the past few months...
Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan both had a very good impression of the Zhong-Wu couple.
At this point, the valuation would naturally be set at the highest possible level.
A powerful ninth-level force would never stoop to exploiting its disciples, especially since this was a great achievement that could not be taken lightly.
In this way, disciples will respect their sect and will still think of the sect when they obtain any resources in the future.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had just received the news that the two seniors would be "coming over to discuss things immediately" when they quickly began preparations.
I can't do anything else, but I do have the eighth-grade fragrant tea... It comes from an eighth-grade white tea tree obtained through a gacha game. The tea leaves produced don't require any other preparation. Just pick them, steep them in the best spring water, and they'll turn into fragrant tea.
However, the quantity is very small. Each time the leaves mature, only a few can be picked, and Zhong Cai carefully removes and preserves them.
Now, Zhong Cai only uses this item to entertain seniors who have left a good impression on the couple.
Just as the tea leaves were about to release their aroma, which was less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the island's defenses had already undergone some changes.
Wu Shaogan moved swiftly and appeared outside, opening the barrier.
Emperor Xiao Dan and Palace Master Lou suddenly appeared and stood in front of Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly and gestured for an invitation.
"Please, seniors."
Emperor Xiao Dan also had a smile on his face.
Lord Lou nodded slightly.
Then, led by Wu Shaogan, the two entered the mansion.
·
Zhong Cai stood up to greet them, smiling as she said, "Please, seniors, have a seat!"
Emperor Xiao Dan and Palace Master Lou walked over and sat down at one side of the stone table.
Wu Shaogan then came to Zhong Cai's side, and together they picked up teacups and presented them to the two teachers.
