Chapter 104: Chapter 93: Situation_i

This servant is incompetent! I only managed to gather two hundred bottles of Grass Renewal Pills!”

With her slender hand, Chi Feiyan took out the pills one by one with some embarrassment and placed them on the sandalwood table in front of Xu Mu.

Didn’t you try to find a tier-five Alchemist?

Looking at the two hundred bottles of Grass Renewal Pills in front of him, Xu Mu asked with a furrowed brow.

Tier-five Alchemists are generally associated with a sect, and even among those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they hold a unique position. Given my status, they refuse to meet with me, let alone accept my commission to concoct pills!”

Chi Feiyan spoke with a hint of grievance.

After all, she was merely the head of a small family, and her cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage. Even compared to ordinary Foundation Establishes, her status was far inferior – not to mention the esteemed tier- five Alchemists.

Alchemists above tier five are even given due respect when faced with Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Of course, if Chi Feiyan wished to mobilize the connections she’d established through the Foundation Establishment Pills, it wouldn’t be impossible to ask a tier-five Alchemist for help.

However, that would essentially be seeking her own death!

If that’s the case, then leave it be! Buy in the future when you can, but don’t force yourself if it’s not possible!”

Xu Mu stored away the pills, and couldn’t help but sigh.

He had originally thought that she would give him a surprise, but it seemed that he had gotten his hopes up.

The matter of upgrading his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body would have to be postponed.

Just then, Chi Feiyan took out a token from her storage bag and placed it in front of him.

This is an auction token that this servant managed to gather; perhaps Master can purchase something desired from there!”

The auction in Liyang City?

Xu Mu asked as he picked up the token.

With his current status and position, even if he didn’t have a token, it would be exceedingly easy for him to participate.

No, not Liyang City! This one is for an auction held in Tianhe City. It took a lot of networking for me to get this!”

Chi Feiyan smiled, hoping for some words of praise from Xu Mu. However, he pretended not to notice and simply nodded his head, storing the token away.

The Foundation Establishment Pills couldn’t possibly be sold out in a day; he might need to stay here for a month or two. This just happened to present an opportunity to visit the Tianhe Sect and witness the grandeur of a major Nascent Soul Sect, which also fulfilled a wish he had in the past.

Tell me about the situation with the fight between the Tongyou Sect and Tianhe Sect!”

After finishing the topic on pills, Xu Mu asked about the war he was most concerned about.

Yes!

Chi Feiyan, who hadn’t been praised, responded somewhat dismally. She then began to recount the news she was aware of.

From her, Xu Mu learned that the Old Ancestor of Tianhe had recently faked his death. After sacrificing a portion of his disciples, he lured the Ghost Cultivators of the Tongyou Sect into a trap, eliminating more than half of them all at once. Even the Old Ancestor of Tongyou had been heavily injured, with only a few rifts of his soul surviving and escaping.

Now, only a few scattered Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivators remained in the Tianhe Sect’s jurisdiction. They were hiding here and there, but they no longer posed a significant threat. It was estimated that it wouldn’t take long for them to be completely cleaned up.

This was also why an auction that had been suspended for quite some time had finally resumed and was flourishing more than ever.

This Old Ancestor of Tianhe is truly a formidable figure!

Xu Mu couldn’t help exclaiming after hearing Chi Feiyan’s narrative.

He had initially thought that the situation in the Tianhe Sect would continue to deteriorate until either the Old Ancestor of Tongyou or Tianhe died. It was completely unexpected that not only was the Old Ancestor of Tianhe immensely powerful, but his strategies were also executed brilliantly.

However, although the Tianhe Sect ultimately emerged victorious, it could only be described as a pyrrhic victory.

The Old Ancestor of Tianhe was already on the brink of death; combined with the toll this whole ordeal took, his end was probably not far off.

Although there was one other Nascent Soul Elder in the Tianhe Sect, he had just advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul. With the burden of managing the entire Tianhe Sect, his task was arduous.

Furthermore, there were rumors that this newly-minted Nascent Soul Elder had taken some shortcuts, advancing to his current stage by fluke, and thus his future potential was limited.

Due to these reasons, the Old Ancestor of Tianhe insisted on fighting to the death with the Tongyou Sect.

Otherwise, once he passed, the present state of the Tongyou Sect would be the future of the Tianhe Sect.

Even though the Tianhe Sect was gradually stabilizing, Xu Mu had no intention of returning.

Even if the Tianhe Sect were stable, it still fell far behind the prosperity of the Cangming Ocean Territory.

Master, the elimination of the Ghost Cultivators might be great news to others, but it’s not necessarily a good thing for us!” Chi Feiyan said with a worried expression.

I’m well aware of that!

Xu Mu’s expression turned serious as well.

After the eradication of the Ghost Cultivators, the Liyang Sect could free up a lot of manpower to investigate the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pills.

It would be impossible to continue selling pills as leisurely as before.

Be careful when you sell the pills in the future. There’s no need to rush. Also, take these talismans with you!”

Xu Mu handed all his tier-five and six talismans to Chi Feiyan.

With these high-tier talismans, even if Chi Feiyan encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she would be able to handle herself with ease.

Xu Lang, you do care for me after all!

Seeing these high-tier talismans, Chi Feiyan was moved to tears.

Xu Mu was speechless and didn’t offer further explanation. After she stored the talismans, he took out the Foundation Establishment Pills and handed them to her.

These are all the Foundation Establishment Pills for this time – one hundred and twenty in total!”

Are you giving them all to me at once?”

Chi Feiyan asked in astonishment.

In the past, Xu Mu used to give her the pills in several batches. Now that he was giving them all to her at once, wasn’t he afraid she’d run away with the pills?

They’re all yours!

Xu Mu said indifferently.

This time, it might take quite a while to sell all the pills. He didn’t intend to stay here for long and would return directly to the Cangming Ocean Territory after participating in the Tianhe Sect auction.

Of course, it wasn’t that he fully trusted her; it was because he had a way to keep her well-behaved.

Xu Lang! I knew it, you do see me in your heart!
