Chapter 1254: Taiyi Alliance
Chapter 1254: Taiyi Alliance
Back then, when the Ocean Tower Guild delivered five Tianyuan Fruit seeds, they harvested two Spiritual Fruits and used the other three to condense seeds, resulting in a total of eleven seeds.
There were still ten pure white Spiritual Plants left in the Spiritual Field, and upon careful inspection, they were not far from full maturity.
"With ten plants, we can keep six for seed condensation and harvest four Light Clusters. Let's see if we can obtain the Turtle-Crane Yuan Dan Prescription Experience Package."
"After cultivating another batch, we can mass-plant this rare 6th-grade Longevity Spiritual Plant."
He silently contemplated, patiently awaiting the maturity of the Tianyuan Fruits.
Three months passed in a flash, and he successively harvested four Tianyuan Fruits, from which he obtained two 7th-grade Turtle-Crane Yuan Dans and two Turtle-Crane Yuan Dan Prescription Experience Packages from the four Light Clusters.
Regarding this rare 7th-grade Longevity Elixir, he had not yet refined it, but he already possessed a near-expert level of refinement.
The six remaining Tianyuan Fruits eventually condensed into twenty-two seeds, and after treating them with special methods, he could proceed with a new round of cultivation.
On this day, as he was cultivating the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform and practicing the Sleight of Hand Supreme Art, an unexpected visitor arrived outside his cave abode.
"Lin Beihai from Qingwei Sword Peak has come to pay a visit."
The sharp voice of the white ape reached Lu Xuan's ears.
With a single hand wave, he stored the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform into his Pocket Classic.
Lin Beihai, a Yuan Ying Mid-stage cultivator from Qingwei Sword Peak, was proficient in pill refinement, and the two of them were merely casual acquaintances, having met no more than three times.
Although he didn't know why this fellow sect member had come, since Lin Beihai had brought people to visit, Lu Xuan naturally had to entertain them well.
"Senior Brother Lin, it's been a long time since we last met."
Lu Xuan smiled and greeted them.
Lin Beihai was a refined middle-aged cultivator, and behind him stood an elderly man who maintained a kind smile, his benevolent eyes making people feel a sense of closeness.
"Junior Brother Lu, let me introduce you to this fellow Daoist, Wen Wuchen, an elder of the Taiyi Alliance. We've known each other for many years, and I've long admired your great reputation. I was specially asked to come and introduce you."
Lin Beihai said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, it's an honor to meet you. Junior Brother Lu is indeed our Sword Sect's most renowned Spiritual Plant Master."
"Fellow Daoist Wen, I've long heard of your great reputation. Today, I finally get to meet you." The elder praised with a bow.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, you're too kind. The Taiyi Alliance is truly renowned throughout the myriad realms."
Lu Xuan hurriedly replied.
Although he rarely left the Sword Sect, he was still familiar with some basic knowledge about the cultivation world.
The Taiyi Alliance was undoubtedly one of the most famous merchant organizations in the myriad realms, far surpassing the Ocean Tower Guild in influence. Even outside the Sword Sect, in the three major cities, there were numerous shops belonging to the Taiyi Alliance, each one a thousand times larger than his Variety Store.
If the Ocean Tower Guild's influence extended to multiple realms, then the Taiyi Alliance had its shops in the majority of realms, always ranking among the top.
It could be said that the Taiyi Alliance was as influential as the Dongxuan Sword Sect in the cultivation world.
Lu Xuan, filled with curiosity, invited the two into a quiet courtyard and served them high-grade Spiritual Fruits and Liquor.
"I've long heard that Fellow Daoist Lu has achieved extraordinary expertise in Spiritual Plants and Liquor. Today, I can see that it's indeed extraordinary."
"Spiritual Fruits and Liquor of such quality are rarely enjoyed by me."
The elder praised as he savored the Thunder-attributed Spiritual Lotus Seeds and other delicacies.
"It's just a minor skill, not worthy of grand occasions."
Lu Xuan humbly replied.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu recently introduced a 6th-grade Spiritual Liquor called the Qinglian Wine?"
"Yes, I was fortunate to obtain the recipe for that Spiritual Liquor and after much research and experimentation, I finally succeeded in brewing it.
"However, the difficulty of brewing Qinglian Wine is truly immense, and it requires an abundance of materials, resulting in only a small quantity being produced."
Lu Xuan spoke with caution, as he had a limited supply of Qinglian Wine, which he reserved for himself and close friends. Offering the Xianzhen Sword Liquid and the Yuanmo Wine to the two of them was already a generous gesture.
"You're too modest, Lu Daoist friend. If you ever need help in sourcing brewing materials, you can always turn to the Taiyi Alliance. Everyone in the Alliance would be delighted to welcome you as a guest."
Wen Wuchen's intentions were clear.
"What do you mean by that, Wen Daoist friend?" Lu Xuan asked, pausing for a moment.
"I believe you have a shop in Jian Yuan City, Lu Daoist friend, where you sell Yuan Ling Dan, various five-grade Sword Talismans, and multiple Spiritual Brews. Although it's a modest operation, the unique treasures you offer are highly attractive to cultivators."
"The Alliance has sent people to assess your shop multiple times, and we believe it has great potential. Therefore, we wish to establish a cooperative relationship with you."
Wen Wuchen spoke with a humble demeanor, his smile warm.
"Oh? How would this cooperation work?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"The best way is for the Taiyi Alliance to invest in your shop, providing you with channels, resources, and platforms to make your Spiritual Brews and Pills renowned throughout the myriad realms."
"You can earn a substantial profit from this, and we can discuss the details further."
"You want to invest in my Variety Store?" Lu Xuan chuckled lightly.
"It's an honor that the Taiyi Alliance values me so highly. However, my primary focus is on cultivating Spiritual Plants and my cultivation. Alchemy and brewing are secondary, and as a single person, my production capacity is limited, so I cannot guarantee a stable long-term supply for the Alliance."
"More importantly, have you heard of my relationship with the Ocean Tower Guild?"
"I've heard a little. It's said that you've been a guest master of the Ocean Tower Guild for over a hundred years and have a deep friendship with the Artifact Spirit."
"Nevertheless, people always strive for greater heights. You, as a member of the Sword Sect, have already reached the Mid-Yuan Ying stage. Your contributions to the Guild are more than sufficient, and you can certainly choose another partner for cooperation."
Wen Wuchen's smile faded, and his expression became solemn.
"Moreover, the founder of the Ocean Tower Guild is merely a high-grade Artifact Spirit, like a rootless duckweed, vulnerable to the slightest disturbance."
"The Guild has been deeply rooted in the cultivation world for many years. The Artifact Spirit senior has an enigmatic background and formidable strength, so protecting a guild is not an issue."
Lu Xuan maintained a calm demeanor as he replied.
After advancing to the Yuan Ying stage, he had interacted with the Artifact Spirit of the Jade Tower, and he was well aware of its unfathomable power and expertise in spatial techniques. Thus, he had no concerns about any potential issues with the Artifact Spirit.
Wen Wuchen's words held no sway over Lu Xuan's thoughts.
With the existence of the Sword Sect and the Guild, Lu Xuan could obtain the Spiritual Seeds and treasures he needed. Even if he were to cooperate with the Taiyi Alliance, it would only be an additional benefit.
Furthermore, Lu Xuan had been a guest master of the Ocean Tower Guild since his Foundation Establishment stage, and he had no idea how many Spiritual Seeds and treasures he had acquired from the Guild over the years. Even his crucial Carried Space was crafted from the Incomplete Dao Realm, a gift from the Artifact Spirit.
Lu Xuan valued loyalty, and he would never consider such a dishonorable act.
At his level, he didn't lack channels to obtain high-grade Spiritual Seeds. Just by offering any of the treasures on his person, he could attract countless Yuan Ying Zhenjun seeking seeds in exchange.
Therefore, Lu Xuan decided to maintain the relaxed and pleasant cooperative relationship with the Guild, choosing to decline Wen Wuchen's offer.
