Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 624: Chapter 342: Trading Pills, Great True Monarch Celestial Fall

"I didn’t expect that within the Nebula Pavilion, there still hides such a formidable figure. He must have been discussing something with Nebula just now. His appearance is somewhat unfamiliar... Could he be the newly ascended Great True Monarch Qi Chuan of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"

Great True Monarch Celestial Fall pondered secretly in his heart.

With just a fleeting glance, he almost deduced the identity of Qi Chuan.

On one hand, Qi Chuan didn’t employ too many concealment techniques.

On the other hand, the number of Great True Monarch cultivators in this world is limited. Once one witnesses them firsthand, it becomes easy to deduce their identity based on known information.

"Nebula Pavilion’s actions are quite swift. Qi Chuan just ascended recently, and Nebula Pavilion has already built a relationship with him..." Great True Monarch Celestial Fall snorted coldly in his heart.

At this moment, there was a slight commotion again within the mountain gates of Nebula Pavilion.

Great True Monarch Celestial Fall turned his gaze and saw a figure floating gracefully from within the mountain gates, landing in front of him, with a slight smile on his face. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Celestial Fall, it has been a long time. What brings you to my Nebula Pavilion today?"

"Humph."

Great True Monarch Celestial Fall snorted coldly. The person before him was his old acquaintance, Great True Monarch Nebula.

"That person earlier, was he Qi Chuan of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?" Great True Monarch Celestial Fall glanced at Great True Monarch Nebula and asked.

"Yes." Great True Monarch Nebula nodded.

"Your actions are quite fast. Within such a short time, you’ve drawn closer to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. What did Qi Chuan come to do at Nebula Pavilion this time?" Great True Monarch Celestial Fall inquired.

"Hmm... It doesn’t matter if I tell you. Fellow Daoist Qichuan just bought a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method from me."

"A Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method?"

Upon hearing this, Great True Monarch Celestial Fall was slightly surprised.

From these words, he naturally inferred something.

Since Qi Chuan purchased a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method, it indicates that he must have a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl; otherwise, why buy the refining method?

"You gave him the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl you had?" Great True Monarch Celestial Fall asked.

"No, the Demon Pearl I possess is still with me, and I have already converted it into a Spirit Pearl using the refining method," Great True Monarch Nebula shook his head and replied.

"Did he acquire it himself? Could he have slain a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon?" Great True Monarch Celestial Fall was somewhat shocked internally.

An entity like a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon isn’t easily slain.

Achieving this is reserved for those of absolutely superior strength.

"Well, I don’t have much time to discuss these matters with you. Furthermore, how others obtain Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearls is their business and doesn’t concern us. What’s more important is why you came to my Nebula Pavilion today," Great True Monarch Nebula glanced at Great True Monarch Celestial Fall and spoke.

"Actually, it’s not a big deal, cough, I just came to ask for information on several Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts..." Upon hearing Great True Monarch Nebula’s words, only then did Great True Monarch Celestial Fall remember his true purpose, coughed lightly, and spoke somewhat apologetically.

"Several?" Hearing this, Great True Monarch Nebula’s eyes widened: "Do you think it’s Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts? No, not even one!"

What kind of joke is this, really thinks Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts grow like cabbages? Just wished for and obtained?

Even if Nebula Pavilion excels at gathering information on Demon Beasts, it would still take many years to acquire useful information.

Yet Great True Monarch Celestial Fall often comes to Nebula Pavilion seeking information on Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts, and every time he acts, there’s more than half a chance of failure, letting the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts escape. How could he have so many Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts to give?

"Impossible, your Nebula Pavilion is excellent at collecting all sorts of random information. How could there be none? I heard not long ago that you acquired information on a Blue Tide Mother, and you promised long ago that after the division, any intelligence would be half-priced for my Celestial Fall Sect. Information on Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts is obviously included, or do you want to break your promise?" Great True Monarch Celestial Fall spoke indignantly.

"The Blue Tide Mother was information from several years ago and has already been slain. What use is bringing it up now? No matter what you say, it doesn’t matter; there’s none to give. How can I just conjure Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast information for you?" Great True Monarch Nebula said angrily. This Great True Monarch Celestial Fall is constantly coming to Nebula Pavilion trying to freeload, often making him reluctant to see him.

"Heh, really? I don’t believe you." No matter what Great True Monarch Nebula said, Great True Monarch Celestial Fall responded with a cold sneer, his face full of disdain.

After a fruitless stalemate, Great True Monarch Nebula, in anger, swung a slap toward Great True Monarch Celestial Fall’s face.

...

After leaving, Qi Chuan was naturally unaware of what transpired between Great True Monarch Nebula and Great True Monarch Celestial Fall.

He still thought that after his departure, there might be some conflict between the two, as, in his observation and speculation, the relationship between Nebula Pavilion and Celestial Fall Sect might not be as amicable as it seems.

However, no matter what happens, ultimately it has nothing to do with him.

Qi Chuan returned to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect with the spoils of his trip.

Following the usual practice, he briefly informed Senior Brother Qingyun about the matters of the trip, and then he returned to his Cave Mansion, taking out the items he acquired from his Qiankun Bag.

First was two pieces of Tier Four Middle Grade Exotic Cold items—Ice Profound Fruit and Ice-devouring Insect Robe.

"With these two Tier Four Middle Grade Exotic Cold items, the conditions for refining the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Pill are fully met, allowing me to commence alchemy at any time. Next is the success rate of alchemy; I only have two furnaces worth of materials, so it’s best not to waste any."

"Once the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Pill is refined, I can immediately head to the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain to refine and subdue that special Spirit Flame."

Qi Chuan planned secretly in his heart.

In fact, ever since he ascended to a Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist, quite some time has passed, during which he conducted a number of Tier Four Upper Grade Elixir refinements. Coupled with the Hundredfold Critical Strike’s enhancement to alchemy mastery, his success rate for refining a pill of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs Pill’s difficulty is now quite high.

At most, it’s just the first encounter with a new Pill Formula that might cause a slight unfamiliarity, bringing a bit of uncertainty, which makes Qi Chuan feel a little apprehensive.

However, the issue shouldn’t be significant; the success rate should be at the level of "guarantee one furnace, strive for two furnaces."

He would just do his best, leaving the rest to destiny.

Besides the Ice Profound Fruit and Ice-devouring Insect Robe, the unexpected gain from this trip was the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method.

Swiping his hand over the Qiankun Bag, Qi Chuan produced a Jade Slip from his hand, which was the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method acquired from Great True Monarch Nebula.

Then, Qi Chuan took out the Golden Thread Purple Demon Pearl, about half the size of a fist.

This Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl, if accounted for, was originally snatched from the Ancient Spirit Sect in Celestial North State.

"I originally thought this Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl would gather dust in my possession for a period before being utilized, but unexpectedly, I gained a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method on this trip."

"With this, the refining of this Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl must be expedited."

"Once refined successfully and converted into a Spirit Pearl, it should at least equal the value of several Tier Four Upper Grade Elixirs..."

Looking at the Golden Thread Purple Demon Pearl, Qi Chuan thought to himself.
