Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 832: Chapter 671: True Monarch Tian Gong (Subscription Request)_2

"Oh, I see."

Each major Sect will set up specialized branches for Pill, Artifact, Talisman, and Plant studies.

In the eyes of True Master of Spirit Refining.

True Master Profound Ice wants to establish a small sect research institute on Starlight Island.

It seems he intends to stay on Starlight Island for long-term development.

In this way, he definitely won’t return the island to the Profound Celestial Sect.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the construction of this Starlight Island Research Institute be for the benefit of Profound Celestial Sect?

True Master of Spirit Refining didn’t think too much about it.

The dispute between True Master Profound Ice and Profound Celestial Sect has nothing to do with their Thousand Mechanism Sect.

Since he’s willing to go to such great lengths, he must have carefully considered it.

It’s important to know that establishing a comprehensive research institute in one’s own dojo is extremely rare among the True Masters in the Song Country.

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice?"

"The project is large, the time frame is tight, and the requirements are high. Can your sect undertake it?"

True Master of Spirit Refining smiled.

The primary business of the Thousand Mechanism Sect is Artifact Refining.

Their construction capability is second to none.

Even Profound Celestial Sect must admire them.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, you might not be fully aware of our Thousand Mechanism Sect..."

Without waiting for True Master of Spirit Refining to finish speaking.

Shen Xuan directly handed over a Jade Scroll.

Inside, it contained the entire plan for the Starlight Research Institute.

After probing with Divine Sense, True Master of Spirit Refining’s expression changed.

He looked up at Shen Xuan, eyes showing a hint of admiration.

The reason was simple.

The scale of the Starlight Research Institute was truly massive.

Covering several hundred miles, it’s divided into more than a dozen research branches.

Alchemy Branch, Artifact Refining Branch, Array Branch, Spirit Talisman Branch, Spirit Plants Branch, Puppet Branch, Beast Taming Branch, Music Branch, Body Refining Branch, Life Branch...

Basically, any common cultivation techniques are set up at the Starlight Research Institute.

Furthermore, a few branches are reserved as options.

In this way, the Starlight Research Institute resembles a medium-sized Immortal City.

True Master of Spirit Refining estimated.

All the basic facilities would cost at least tens of millions in Spirit Stone materials.

This doesn’t yet include the Spirit Power from the island’s veins and construction fees.

True Master of Spirit Refining asked, "Our sect can indeed undertake the Star Research Institute, but what about the construction fees?"

"Don’t worry. A twenty percent advance payment. Monthly settlements, paid according to progress, never late."

Shen Xuan said generously.

"However, the quality must be guaranteed, and the progress must also be ensured."

Shen Xuan’s plan is to complete within two years.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, please wait a moment. I will be right back."

"Alright."

Shen Xuan knew that True Master of Spirit Refining was going to seek instructions from True Master Qing Hui.

His visit to Thousand Mechanism Sect was precisely to meet True Master Qing Hui.

Currently, among the four basic techniques of Pill, Array, Artifact, and Talisman, only Artifact Refining is his weak point, remaining at Tier Two.

This is not due to a lack of attention.

Quite the opposite.

Artifact Refining is exactly what he values most.

It is also his future key cultivation goal.

If conditions allow, even devices like mechanical dogs and drones would be developed through Artifact Refining.

Even if they are somewhat primitive or weaker in attack power.

As long as the quantity is sufficient, they can form a formidable force.

The best Tier Three Artifact Refiner in Song Country is the Sect Leader of Thousand Mechanism Sect, True Master Qing Hui.

The only Tier Four Artifact Refiner is True Monarch Tian Gong of Thousand Mechanism Sect.

As this visit to Thousand Mechanism Sect was rare for Shen Xuan, he came thoroughly prepared.

After a while, True Master of Spirit Refining led in a tall, slender cultivator.

As expected, upon seeing the Starlight Research Institute plan, True Master Qing Hui personally met with them.

The two exchanged greetings.

True Master Qing Hui mentioned an interesting incident from the past.

He and True Master of Spirit Refining encountered Shen Xuan during their travels.

They said, "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

As a result, Shen Xuan, as if seeing a ghost, not only didn’t stay but instead used the Thunder Escape Technique to leave rapidly.

Shen Xuan offered a brief explanation.

At the time, he had urgent business and was afraid of being delayed, so he left using the Thunder Escape Technique.

After a few casual exchanges.

True Master Qing Hui stated directly, "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, the Starlight Research Institute construction project is accepted by the Thousand Mechanism Sect."

"However, about the project fees..."

Shen Xuan gave a slight smile and took out a pre-prepared Spirit Stone Bag.

Inside were eight hundred Upper Grade Spirit Stones.

These were merely the deposit.

True Master Qing Hui glanced at it but did not accept the Spirit Stone Bag.

"Our Thousand Mechanism Sect and the Cyan Cloud Sect have been allies for tens of thousands of years, sharing life and destiny..."

"Enough!"

Shen Xuan was convinced by these old foxes.

Haggling is haggling, why digress so far?

"Brother Qing Hui, just say what you want!"

True Master Qing Hui chuckled.

"Seven Flowing Frost Cold Soul Spirit Tea Trees of a hundred years, and a hundred slots for the Purple Essence Realm enlightenment."

Shen Xuan pondered.

"Slots for the Purple Essence Realm enlightenment are no problem. Three hundred-year-old Flowing Frost Cold Soul Spirit Tea Trees, and four of thirty years."

To mature the Flowing Frost Cold Soul Spirit Tea Tree to a hundred years takes considerable time and resources.

If reduced to thirty years, it would be much quicker.

"I can pay one hundred-year-old Flowing Frost Cold Soul Spirit Tea Tree first. You can just study how to nurture it. The rest will be provided according to progress."

"Alright, as Fellow Daoist Profound Ice wishes. However, the material costs, please prepare yourself. Of course, our Thousand Mechanism Sect can procure on your behalf."

"You procure, and we’ll settle the bill together then."

The two quickly negotiated the deal and signed a Spirit Contract.

Such mutually beneficial cooperation was naturally welcome, and both parties were amicable.

Shen Xuan and True Master Qing Hui each released a magical power, signing and pressing their marks.

"Brother Qing Hui, the project should begin as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, rest assured, I will have True Master of Spirit Refining oversee it personally, there’s absolutely no problem."

True Master of Spirit Refining looked at his master with a face full of grievance.
