Chapter 128: Birth of the Divine Pattern

Chapter 127

Many cultivators were smart. They knew that the Foundation Establishment Elixir was definitely limited. Therefore, on the thirty-eighth day of the Eastern Ocean Hunt, a cultivator secretly returned.

The first Foundation Establishment Elixir was traded on that day. Although it was only one elixir, its significance was extraordinary.

When Wang Tong received the news, he cursed angrily. He had clearly ordered the Dao Cheng Division to seal the news to prevent cultivators from approaching.

In the end, it was useless. Those who exchanged Foundation Establishment Elixirs were all Foundational Cultivators. The cultivators in the Dao Cheng Division did not dare to offend them, especially since they were inextricably linked.

Under such circumstances, Wang Tong could only report to Commandery Prince Hong Yi and return from the sea.

In the small courtyard, Wang Tong stood in front of Chen Jingzhai and took out ten storage bags.

“Alchemist Chen, I want all the Foundation Establishment Elixirs you have!” Wang Tong said generously.

“You have so many sea beasts?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“See for yourself!” Wang Tong grinned. “Five hundred Grade 2 sea beasts and ten Grade 3 sea beasts. These should be able to exchange for fifteen Foundation Establishment Elixirs!”

“Yes!” Chen Jingzhai nodded. “But it’s still not enough.”

“How many Foundation Establishment Elixirs do you have?” Wang Tong asked in shock.

“Before you came, five Foundation Establishment Elixirs were traded.” Chen Jingzhai smiled and said, “After deducting the sea beasts you took out, I still have more than ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs.”

What a joke. He only took out half of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs he refined in the sect. He still had a lot on hand. Even if he spent some before going down the mountain, he still had some in stock.

In addition to the Foundation Establishment Elixirs that he had prepared, he also left a portion of it in the hands of his four beautiful maidservants!

When Wang Tong heard this, he immediately gasped. The way he looked at Chen Jingzhai changed. It seemed that the rumors were right. This Master Uncle Chen was simply a walking treasure!

Without further ado, he took out the treasures of the ocean. The treasures included sea coral that helped with cultivation and gathered essence power. There were materials to refine spirit weapons and magic treasures. There were also various spirit plants from the ocean that contained very rich essence power.

Chen Jingzhai originally only wanted the sea beasts, but the divine stone in his upper core trembled slightly. This situation was not unfamiliar to him.

Holding back the surprise in his heart, Chen Jingzhai waved his hand and kept the many items after glancing at them.

Wang Tong was overjoyed because a small bottle filled with Foundation Establishment Elixirs appeared in front of him.

“You didn’t exchange these for yourself, did you?” Chen Jingzhai asked calmly.

“Of course not.” Wang Tong shook his head. “It’s for Commandery Prince Hong Yi.”

“How can I get so many sea beasts and treasures? For this batch of Foundation Establishment Elixirs, I went straight to the Sea Dragon Guards’ treasure vault.”

Fortunately, he had gone to the treasure vault. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain Chen Jingzhai’s Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

In addition to gathering the sea beast carcasses, he also deliberately took away some of the treasures of the ocean. He did not expect it to really work. The fact that these treasures could be stored in the treasure vault meant that they had to be disposed of.

The truly good treasures must have been picked by Commandery Prince Hong Yi. Now that he thought about it, Wang Tong was a little glad.

Commandery Prince Hong Yi wanted him to obtain all the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in Chen Jingzhai’s hands. The more of such elixirs, the better. If he did not squeeze Chen Jingzhai’s pockets dry due to the lack of sea beasts, Wang Tong really could prepare to face his own death.

“So, as the commander of the Dao Cheng Division, you have completely sided with him?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“I can’t help my position.” Wang Tong shook his head with a bitter smile. “I have my own clan.”

“Understood!” Chen Jingzhai nodded. “I lack medicinal herbs.”

“No problem.” Wang Tong immediately said in surprise, “I’ll get someone to send it over tomorrow.”

“It’s best if the medicinal herbs are the same as those in the Foundation Establishment Elixir.” Chen Jingzhai nodded.

“Alright!” Wang Tong’s smile widened.

He naturally did not have the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Chen Jingzhai also knew this.

However, Chen Jingzhai had mentioned it, which meant that it was not directed at Wang Tong, but at Commandery Prince Hong Yi.

Although Chen Jingzhai was not verbally explicit, since he was willing to refine elixirs for Commandery Prince Hong Yi, it was enough to show Chen Jingzhai’s potential attitude.

And this was exactly what Commandery Prince Hong Yi wanted to hear!

Wang Tong left the small courtyard with a satisfied smile.

When he left, he made it clear to the rogue cultivators that the Foundation Establishment Elixir had been fully traded. If they wanted the Foundation Establishment Elixir, they would have to prepare the ingredients for it.

This was to directly indicate that Alchemist Chen was leaning toward the Eastern Ocean Ruler.

Some Foundational Cultivators left, and some Foundational Cultivators entered. Everyone’s reaction was different, but these were all remembered by Wang Tong’s people.

After Wang Tong left, Chen Jingzhai dealt with some guests.

Some cultivators were ignorant. The self-proclaimed big cultivator clans actually threatened or secretly coerced him into refining elixirs for them.

Chen Jingzhai waved his sleeve unceremoniously and chased them out.

Some begged bitterly, for themselves and for the descendants in their clans. Some he refused, some he agreed, but his requirement was that they had to prepare their own herbs.

Seeing that so many cultivators had come to visit, Chen Jingzhai directly closed the door and refused to see any guests.

At the same time, he released news that he could also refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the future.

Although Chen Jingzhai had announced that the cultivators needed to prepare the herbs themselves, he said that the success rate was 40% and his payment was 10%. In other words, if there were only four Foundation Establishment Elixirs in a furnace, one of them would be his. This success rate was still second to none in the Pulao Kingdom.

Many cultivators left in disappointment, and some cursed at the Dao Cheng Division. No one dared to offend an accomplished alchemist. They just hated Wang Tong for being too ruthless and taking everything.

On the other hand, Chen Jingzhai did not care about anything outside.

“Young Master, the magic apparel has not been paid for!” Hong Yu pursed her lips and informed him.

“We’ll talk about it the next time Wang Tong comes.” Chen Jingzhai smiled and said, “The Foundation Establishment Elixir is the real treasure. If we choose the right person, I’m afraid Commandery Prince Hong Yi will have 30 more Foundational Cultivators this time.”

“Thirty?” Hong Yu’s eyes widened. “Doesn’t that mean their strength has increased greatly?”

“Even if their strength has increased greatly, they won’t dare to act rashly.” Chen Jingzhai pinched her pretty face. “Although the emperor’s remaining lifespan is limited, the imperial family still has the means to help extend it. The Battle of Dragon has started but it hasn’t entered the most intense period yet. We can take this opportunity to cultivate.”

“Do you think highly of the Eastern Ocean Ruler?” Hong Yu asked with a red face.

“Without understanding him, how can I think highly of him? I’m just borrowing the resources of the Eastern Ocean Ruler to continue refining elixirs!” Chen Jingzhai laughed. “I’m going into seclusion. You guys take good care of the cranes. When I come out of seclusion this time, I’ll name the cranes.”

“Yes!” Hong Yu bowed.

When she looked up, Chen Jingzhai had already disappeared. Hong Yu did not mind. She just covered her face and giggled.

Compared to being Chen Jingzhai’s maidservant, she and her other three sisters hoped to become Chen Jingzhai’s cultivation partner.

Cultivators did not have concubines. They only had cultivation partners, and talks of weddings or traditions were unheard of.

Hong Yu was from a cultivator family, so she naturally understood the difference between a maidservant and a cultivation partner.

Chen Jingzhai did not expect that Hong Yu would be seduced by his casual pinch. He could not wait to enter the cultivation room and activate the formation. Then, he calmed himself down and quickly took out all the treasures in the sea.

After a ten-foot-tall black coral reef-like object appeared, the divine stone in Chen Jingzhai’s upper core shook. After a while, it burst into a bright ray of light.

Light flowed out of his upper core and shone on the black coral reef. The black coral reef instantly disappeared and reappeared in the divine stone space.

Chen Jingzhai suppressed his excitement and stared at the divine stone. The divine stone continued to glow. The first and second divine patterns shone brightly.

The third divine pattern began to be perfected after the black coral reef entered the divine stone space. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the third divine pattern gradually took shape.

Afraid that he would not be able to continue, Chen Jingzhai immediately took out the sea beast carcass. Five hundred Grade 2 sea beasts were sent into the divine stone space.

After five more Grade 3 sea beasts were sent into the divine stone space, the third divine pattern finally burst into light.

The third divine pattern was completed!
