Fang Han stopped in his tracks, looking at that red-clothed veiled woman. The silk scarf on this woman's face was just a thin layer. Logically, as long as someone's eyesight was slightly more brilliant, they could penetrate through the silk scarf to see her true appearance. But when Fang Han fully utilized his eye power to look, it was a hazy blur, instantly letting him know this was an unusual "precious artifact".
Regarding people from the "Linglong Blessed Land", Fang Han could be said to hold a favorable impression.
After all, his current twenty-eight great divine abilities were all bestowed by Fairy Fire Cloud of the Linglong Blessed Land. Furthermore, the Linglong Blessed Land was the first sect within the Immortal Path to resist the Taiyi Sect, unafraid of strong authority and possessing boundless magic power. And that legendary figure, "Linglong Immortal Venerable", also made him have a slight thought of wanting to see her.
Of course, he had killed the "Island Master of Sleeplessness", and the wife of the Island Master of Sleeplessness was a true legacy disciple of the Linglong Blessed Land. This involved some amount of trouble as well.
Taking everything into account, toward this sect, the "Linglong Blessed Land", it would still be best to observe its true and false state from afar and avoid excessive contact.
However, since the other party initiated the talk, and his current identity wasn't his true one, there wasn't anything to be scrupled about either.
"What is the matter?" Fang Han put on a cold posture, keeping others a thousand miles away.
"I am Piao Yun from the Linglong Blessed Land. I wish to ask fellow Daoist a few words. I wonder how it may be? I already know fellow Daoist is in urgent need of five elemental essence to cultivate the five elemental divine abilities and break through realms. Perhaps I might have a place where I can be of help." The red-clothed veiled woman stated her identity. While the other party was speaking, Fang Han felt a pair of eyes staring at him all over his body, seemingly looking for something.
"Ask away." Fang Han licked his lips.
The red-clothed veiled woman Piao Yun waved her hand, "This is not a place to talk. Fellow Daoist, please follow me." As she spoke, she transformed into a streak of red light and flew up. Fang Han did not hesitate either. With an upward leap directly, he transformed into a streak of clear light. In the sky, leaping fiercely, he caught up to this woman.
Flying in this dream-like Taibai City, before long, Fang Han saw the red light descend, arriving inside a majestic thirty-six story tall pagoda. On that tall pagoda, there were large words flashing golden light, Linglong Pagoda.
Fang Han also followed and descended. He actually didn't care what others might do to him. In the Great Xuan Empire, one didn't worry about murder and assassination, not to mention the Linglong Blessed Land was also an orthodox prominent sect.
Landing inside the pagoda, Fang Han saw that there was gold and fine jade paving the ground everywhere, gorgeous carpets, and in some places, spirit artifacts were actually hung! Standing on the tall pagoda, one could look down onto many sceneries of Taibai City, which could be described as boundless enjoyment.
"This Linglong Pagoda is the property of our Linglong Blessed Land in the Great Xuan Empire. I wonder if fellow Daoist wishes to settle down with such a property in the Great Xuan Empire?" The red-clothed veiled woman Piao Yun had already sat down, signaling for Fang Han to sit down as well.
Fang Han took a look, "If there is a matter, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. I do not like beating around the bush."
"Very well, then please tell me, fellow Daoist, what exactly is that nameless divine wood? Although a bit peculiar, it is still not worth fellow Daoist buying it with the huge sum of three million spirit pills. Moreover, in order to buy this item, fellow Daoist even subsidized a massive amount of Origin Infant Pills! Among all the sects, the Origin Infant Pill is the best medicinal pill. Fellow Daoist is not a disciple of the Taiyi Sect, so where did you get such a massive amount of medicinal pills?" The red-clothed veiled woman Piao Yun continuously spat out a series of questions from her mouth.
"This is my privacy. Inquiring like this seems somewhat presumptuous of you." Fang Han gave a dry laugh: "As for that nameless divine wood, I also do not know its origin. But the skills I cultivate happen to be Wood element divine abilities. Since it is a piece of divine wood, I just bought it back to see if it can be refined. Perhaps it could allow the cultivation method to break through?"
The red-clothed veiled woman smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems fellow Daoist truly does not intend to tell the truth. But if fellow Daoist speaks the truth, I actually am willing to present this item as a gift." While speaking, she waved her hand, a streak of yellow cloud flashed past, and that "Mountain God Pearl" appeared in front of Fang Han.
Fang Han gave a fake smile, not even looking at it: "This Mountain God Pearl is a good treasure, it can push any Earth element divine ability to great success. However, I actually want the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth Crystal."
"Such a big boast from fellow Daoist. An Earth element rare treasure like the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth Crystal probably cannot be taken down without tens of millions of medicinal pills." The red-clothed veiled woman Piao Yun was taken aback for a moment: "It seems I underestimated fellow Daoist's financial capability. However, fellow Daoist is probably planning to exchange for it with Origin Infant Pills as well! How about this? I know the price the Tiandao Pavilion gave fellow Daoist is offering one hundred and twenty White Yang Pills per pill for over a hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills. A million pills means double the price! Let's do this: as long as fellow Daoist can provide one hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills in a single instance, I will give fellow Daoist double the price for all of them; how about it?"
"Double the price for all of them!" Fang Han's heart stirred. He couldn't entirely help not being tempted, because the market price was one hundred White Yang Pills for one Origin Infant Pill. But if you took a million White Yang Pills, you often couldn't exchange them for ten thousand Origin Infant Pills, because "Origin Infant Pills" were scarce and out of stock.
One hundred thousand, a million Origin Infant Pills, that was a massive amount. The Tiandao Pavilion, Six Paths Alliance, and Nine Cauldrons Pavilion, the three great merchant guilds, could bring that out, but other merchant guilds might not necessarily be able to.
However, purchasing all of them at double the price was somewhat like being desperate out of hunger.
"Purchasing Origin Infant Pills in such a massive amount? Could it be that the Linglong Blessed Land also received some news?" Fang Han had a flexible mind, and actually thought of the matter relating to the appearance of the "God Race".
With the appearance of the God Race, the various great sects had to sharply increase their strength, and the most important thing was medicinal pills.
If every disciple of the Yuhua Sect could cultivate by consuming an "Origin Infant Pill" every day, within three to five years, experts of the Divine Ability Secret Realm would certainly spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Adding dozens in a year would be no problem. Even those Heavenly Human Realm experts and Golden Core experts, if they cultivated by consuming a massive amount of Origin Infant Pills every day, could also rapidly increase their strength and elevate their realms.
For an expert like Fang Han, the immortal realm spiritual energy he extracted every day was now equivalent to five hundred Origin Infant Pills.
"Double the price is indeed extremely generous. How about this. I promise you. Ten days later, I will bring out thirty hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills for you, I just wonder if you can swallow them?" Fang Han thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and put on a relaxed and unconstrained appearance.
He could now produce over thirty thousand Origin Infant Pills out of nothing in one day. At double the price for all of them, that would be six million White Yang Pills! In ten days, sixty million! This was simply an unimaginable immense wealth!
"Thirty hundred thousand! You can truly bring out thirty hundred thousand ten days from now? You must know, such a large amount, even the Great Elders of the Taiyi Sect, figures at the Divine Ability Tenth Layer, couldn't possibly bring it out at once." Now it was the veiled woman Piao Yun's turn to be shocked. She originally just boasted largely to test Fang Han out, but never expected Fang Han to be this fierce! Saying he could bring out thirty hundred thousand, available ten days from now.
"Ten days from now, won't fellow Daoist know upon seeing it?" Fang Han clapped his two hands.
"I wonder where fellow Daoist will be staying during these ten days? Or are you going to fetch the medicinal pills?" The red-clothed veiled woman Piao Yun said.
Fang Han waved his hand: "I'll just stroll around idly in Taibai City for ten days. As for the matter of the medicinal pills, ten days from now, I will naturally come to trade. At that time, please prepare enough White Yang Pills, fellow Daoist."
"That is natural. Fellow Daoist, please!"
Fang Han sprang his body up, transformed into a streak of clear light, and disappeared once again.
"Senior Sister Lian Yun, do you think it is possible that this person can truly bring out thirty hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills?" Right after Fang Han left, the red-clothed woman Piao Yun turned toward her back, and a woman dressed in green walked out. With every step this woman took, she had an aura like an emperor and sovereign, emitting an invisible pressure from her body. The heavenly gate atop her head faintly had a golden color; she was actually a figure at the Divine Ability Seventh Layer, Golden Core Grand Completion.
"Although this person is a Heavenly Human Realm expert of the Divine Ability Fifth Layer, his magic power is unfathomably deep, and he even possesses supreme treasures on him. We do not know what his origin is. If he can truly supply thirty hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills at once, we definitely must befriend him. Right now, our Linglong Blessed Land lacks this kind of peerless-grade medicinal pill, the Origin Infant Pill. The Supreme Headmaster is currently comprehending the Great Luo Heavenly Dao in the endless void, and sensed imperceptibly that a great tribulation is descending upon the Profound Yellow Great World. Therefore, she ordered that we must increase our strength by all possible means." This Senior Sister Lian Yun at Golden Core Grand Completion said: "What a pity that ten years ago, Senior Sister Fire Cloud was trapped in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and her fragrant soul has already perished. Otherwise, with her aptitude, entering the Longevity Secret Realm would be hopeful by now."
"Senior Sister Lian Yun, since this person has thirty hundred thousand Origin Infant Pills, then we truly must gather sixty million White Yang Pills to exchange with him!"
"Rest assured. Our Linglong Blessed Land is an Immortal Path prominent sect after all; we can still bring out these medicinal pills. However, an amount in the tens of millions must be reported to the numerous Great Elders of the sect. Moreover, it's imperative to draw this person over to our side! Over these few days, we must think of a method to see how to win this person over."
…
At this time, Fang Han quietly wandered around Taibai City for a while. This Taibai City was truly too massive; his divine abilities couldn't tour all of it in a short while. Repeatedly executing divine abilities and flickering around everywhere, seeing that no one was tracking him, he used the "Sea Mirage Qigong" to cast an illusion again, morphing into another person. He found an inn in the city to settle down in, and began to enter closed-door cultivation.
Before entering closed-door cultivation, he specially sensed for traces of the three great Golden Core killers, but there were no signs at all. However, he wasn't worried either, simply letting Yan and the Blood Night King guard closely.
This closed-door cultivation was mainly to make his spirit and the World Tree become much tighter together.
At this time, the World Tree in the center of his brow was seemingly real yet illusionary, plunging its roots into both of his seas of consciousness. Every kind of divine ability was connected with the root system of the World Tree. The sapling of the "World Tree" was fully over a hundred times larger than before, its branches lush and leaves flourishing. The immortal realm spiritual energy it absorbed was condensing into "Origin Infant Pills" inside the Yellow Spring Diagram every single moment.
"Man and tree as one!"
Fang Han concentrated all his spirit, pushing to merge as one with the World Tree. His powerful spirit gradually seeped into every inch of the leaves and root system of this sapling.
Suddenly, his mind stirred. Along those root systems, he once again explored toward that endless space amidst the unseen void.
The "World Tree" could extract the immortal realm spiritual energy, which meant it could communicate with the immortal realm amidst the unseen void. If his spirit explored inward following the root hairs of the World Tree, would he also be able to sense the immortal realm!
One must know that sensing the immortal realm, using supreme spirit to defy the heavens and change one's fate, opening the gate to the immortal realm amidst the unseen void, extracting vitality, and cultivating to the status where "the one who consumes qi becomes a deity and does not die"—that was a realm exclusive to the Longevity Secret Realm! Relying on this number one divine tree, could he perhaps achieve a shortcut?
One must know that in those ancient legends, even a mortal could enter the immortal realm by climbing along the World Tree.
Thinking of this, Fang Han's heart thumped and pounded.
