Chapter 86: Splurging

As Deacon Hall was in charge of everything in Daoxuan Peak, many treasures were stored inside their storage.

The storage that Hao Feng had led Chen Jingzhai into was an ingredient storage, where all sorts of ores could be seen. The latter couldn’t even recognize some of them.

However, it didn’t matter to him. He quickly took out his elixir cauldron.

He had gone to Tianzhu Peak to look for ingredients for the cauldron.

Just like other cauldrons, it needed better ingredients to raise its quality.

With the cauldron in his hand, he spent the next hour searching for suitable ingredients.

He had selected up to six different ores.

All of them were either Grade 2 or Grade 3 ingredients.

Hao Feng accompanied Chen Jingzhai throughout the whole hour. Although it pained him to watch his Master-Uncle take the ores, he also felt relieved.

Those ores were expensive but didn’t even come close to how valuable a magic treasure was.

And it was a good price to pay for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs that Chen Jingzhai had.

Some elders in a dire situation might even exchange their magic treasures for the elixirs, which has happened before.

Around 300 years ago, Elder Qin used a low-grade magic treasure to exchange for three Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Just three of the Grade 2 elixirs were priced the same as a Preliminary Grade 3 magic treasure.

However, it didn’t cause an uproar back then because no one knew the existence of the Phantom Heart Grass yet.

It was totally reasonable for the Sage’s action now. There was no reason for him not to keep a ton of Foundation Establishment Elixirs when Deacon Hall could pay for it.

There was no way he would throw his pride away again and beg Elixir Peak to spare them some.

“Two Grade 2 ores and 12 Grade 3 ores,” Chen Jingzhai said. “I’ll give you 28 elixirs for that, and I hope you’ll stop bothering me after this.”

He took out three bottles and handed them to the Sage.

“Deal! But, Master-Uncle, you must also promise me that you won’t tell anyone else about this.” Sage Hao grinned sinisterly. “If anyone asks, just tell them you gave us 18 elixirs in total.”

He knew that he couldn’t hide it for a very long time, but he still had to try and keep some for himself.

If they were to spend everything right away, then there would be nothing left for the huge number of casual disciples they had.

“Fine. But, I’ll also want to decide on what elixirs I’m going to make. I’m not going to accept any missions any longer, or else I will increase the price.” Chen Jingzhai laid out his condition too.

He had been spending the last few days producing a massive amount of Grade 1 and Grade 2 elixirs to the point where he was already bored of it.

Although he was able to keep at least one-third of the products to himself, he was still unhappy that Sage Hao was going to ask him to make more.

“Come on, my dear Master-Uncle. Aren’t we the ones who are supplying the ingredients? And you get to keep some for your own too!” Hao Feng wailed. “We don’t have an elixir alchemist. It’s as if God has heard our prayers and provided us with you! Do you know how much you’ve helped the peak out?”

It was true that Daoxuan Peak was low in elixirs.

Even though the Golden Core Sages never asked Deacon Hall to supply them with elixirs, it was a different story for the inner and casual disciples. They would need the hall to help prepare elixirs for them.

Elixir Peak was rich because it had been the sole supplier of elixirs for the whole celestial clan.

Without any competition, they would still benefit a lot even when they were selling at a lower price.

Now that Chen Jingzhai had managed to become a Grade 2 elixir alchemist, there was no way Hao Feng would let such a great chance go to waste.

They believed that Chen Jingzhai was worth giving all the ingredients and spiritual stones.

They were also shocked when they learned how efficient he was.

Even if he were to take out a third of the products for himself, it was still cheaper than buying them from Elixir Peak.

There was no way the Sage wasn’t satisfied with that.

“Drop the act! Why should I be the only one to bear everything?” Chen Jingzhai scolded. “You really are trying to squeeze me dry, aren’t you? No means no!”

Without waiting for a reply, he put his cauldron back and left.

Hao Feng could only sigh as he watched his Master-Uncle leave.

It seemed to him that his method was too intense, and he decided to think of a better way.

Chen Jingzhai didn’t head back first. Instead, he left Daoxuan Peak and headed to Tianzhu Peak.

There, he exchanged 15 Foundation Establishment Elixirs for 12 Grade 3 ingredients from Sage Huang Shi.

He also took the base of the Blazing Fire Sword that he had contracted Tianzhu Peak to make for him. It had cost him 10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs and 5 Essence Power Pearls.

The Alchemy Temple supplied the ingredients for the base of the sword, and he had promised to repay them by helping them create elixirs in the future.

Chen Jingzhai then headed to the Puppet Temple to exchange for a top-grade spiritual item puppet with 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs and 10 Essence Power Pearls.

It was a Grade 2 Black-armored Humanoid Puppet with high battle power, and he was satisfied with it.

It was much more expensive than the base of the Blazing Sun Sword, but he had expected it as the ingredients for the puppet were much more costly.

He even heard from Zhang Kui that he would not be able to get the puppet at that price if not for the shortage of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Although the Puppet Temple wasn’t as grand as it used to be, it wouldn’t make sense for them to sell their puppets without at least making some profit.

Chen Jingzhai could only halt his dream of getting two puppets.

He then left Tianzhu Peak and headed to Jade Pot Peak, which belonged to the Wine Celestial lineage.

Jiang Lin personally welcomed him and introduced him to Sage Chen.

Similar to Sage Hao, Sage Chen handled all the affairs that happened inside Wine Celestial Peak.

He got very excited when he heard Chen Jingzhai was there to purchase a wine calabash.

The Sage immediately helped his Master-Uncle choose an Advanced Grade 2 wine calabash, and he even planted 24 wine talismans on it.

Jiang Lin immediately became envious when he saw that his wine calabash only had 12 talismans.

After the talismans were planted, the wine calabash turned from a birch color into a blue one.

Once Chen Jingzhai processed it, he could feel the spiritual power raging inside his body until a Restriction was naturally formed.

The blue hue on the wine calabash instantly turned into patterns.

He was happy with the size of the wine calabash, but the thing he was delighted with the most were the 24 talismans.

They were able to merge with the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction perfectly.

He gladly paid 22 Foundation Establishment Elixirs for the wine calabash. He wanted to mix some Essence Power Pearls in, but the Sage had insisted that he would only accept the elixirs as payment.

Compared to other branches, the Wine Celestial lineage focuses more on a person’s nature of mind.

They only had a few casual disciples. Thus, the profit they made was enough to cover the expenses.

With 25 more Foundation Establishment Elixirs in their storage, they would not have to worry for a while now.

After asking Jiang Lin how to use the wine calabash, Chen Jingzhai was able to obtain spirit wine. He returned right after that.

Chen Jingzhai flew straight back to Tianyahai Pavilion.

“Senior sister?” He was shocked to see Mrs. Yang waiting for him there. “You’re done with your Seclusion Training?”

“Indeed I have. Do you know the first thing I heard when I came out? That you’ve made quite a name for yourself among all the branches. Well done!” Mrs. Yang grinned.

“I was just lucky. The disciples have helped me a lot.”

“Well, no matter what, you’re the biggest reason our Daoxuan Peak is able to rank first this time.” Mrs. Yang grabbed Chen Jingzhai’s hand and led him into the main hall. “Since your senior brother is the Peak Master, he wasn’t able to reward you due to various reasons. Thus, I’m here to give you your reward! Try it on!”

She took a robe that was on the table and handed it to Chen Jingzhai.

“But, I already have my own robe.”

“I know, but that is the magic robe that everyone in our peak wears. This is a Taoist robe that’s made with 1,000 layers of magic robes. It’s an extremely rare Grade 3 treasure apparel.”

Mrs. Yang didn’t even wait for her junior brother’s reply and helped him put the robe on.

Among all the magic treasures, treasure apparel was the hardest to come by, as it took a lot of ingredients and complex Restrictions to make.

Although the one that Mrs. Yang had given was a Preliminary Grade 3 treasure apparel, it was a few levels higher than the magic robe that the direct disciple of Hongluan Peak wore.
