Chapter 785: Five Divine Sands

This fourth-order spiritual medicine is the Ice Heart Divine Lotus, which can only grow in icy water veins. It also grows in the Eastern Desolation, where it is the most famous high-grade spiritual plant of the Blowing Snow Palace.

Previously, Kong Lingling gave this spiritual plant to the Five Elements Sect to delay her own refining of the Celestial Demon Saint Embryo. After the Blowing Snow Palace sealed off its mountain, Chen Mobai learned that although the palace cultivated this spiritual plant at the core of its spiritual veins, only one flower would mature every hundred years. Furthermore, once matured, it didn't belong to them; it had to be sent to the Ice Sky Palace in the Eastern Lands. The one exchanged with Chen Mobai was accumulated by the Blowing Snow Palace itself over a millennium. However, all Ice Heart Divine Lotuses that mature from now on will belong to the Five Elements Sect.

Currently, the Ice Heart Divine Lotus at the Big Dipper Assembly is in the possession of a Core Formation cultivator from the Ice Sky Palace in the Eastern Lands. Upon arriving, Chen Mobai, considering his past grievances with the Ice Sky Palace, chose not to show himself. After confirming the medicinal ingredient was satisfactory, he gave the Reversion Elixir meant for exchange to Yan Shaoyin, entrusting him to handle the transaction. Since it involved elixirs, both naturally went to the Herb Hall for authentication.

Soon, Yan Shaoyin returned, bringing the Ice Heart Divine Lotus. "Sect Master, today cultivators from the Daoist Sect inquired about the alchemist who refined the Reversion Elixir and the origin of its formula..." Yan Shaoyin reported this matter upon his return, assuring Chen Mobai that he had remained tight-lipped and had not revealed a single word.

"If people from the Daoist Sect ask you again, tell them it's an ancient elixir formula from the Longevity Sect." Chen Mobai's words, after hearing this, greatly surprised Yan Shaoyin. In the Heavenly River Realm, the importance placed on elixir formulas sometimes even surpasses that of cultivation techniques. After all, whether a cultivation technique can be mastered depends on one's aptitude, comprehension, and other factors. However, an elixir formula, once understood, can be replicated by any alchemist. The elixir formulas of each sect are essentially their foundation. Everywhere, it is known that monopolies are key to making great wealth. Revealing the origin of the Reversion Elixir might prompt major sects in the Eastern Lands to excavate other Longevity Sect ruins, and if they're lucky, they might truly acquire it.

"To make great wealth, you need to build a reputation and set standards," Chen Mobai said with profound meaning. Yan Shaoyin, as the patriarch of the Return to Heaven Valley, vaguely understood after hearing this. Having personally refined the Reversion Elixir, he was acutely aware of the difficulties in refining this formula. Its complex procedures and numerous steps surpassed any other elixir he knew of in the Heavenly River Realm. Relying on his extensive experience, he barely managed to refine an edible, lower-grade version after several failures. If the Five Elements Sect could continuously produce top-grade Reversion Elixirs, even if the formula were leaked, they could still dominate the high-end market based on quality and reputation. After all, Core Formation cultivators from the Holy Lands and major sects, being rich in resources, did not pursue elixirs as blindly as rogue cultivators. They were willing to pay higher prices for superior quality.

However, there was still one issue: whether that senior "outsider" was willing to help the Five Elements Sect refine elixirs in large quantities. "The refiner of this Reversion Elixir is the disciple of that senior outsider I mentioned to you," Chen Mobai said. "She's a good friend of mine and is currently a guest in the Eastern Desolation at my invitation." Chen Mobai's words put Yan Shaoyin at ease, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency. After all, having offered the Return to Heaven Valley, if he still wanted to be useful in the future, his only skill would be alchemy. He hoped that this disciple of the senior outsider would not stay too long as a guest in the Eastern Desolation.

With these thoughts, Yan Shaoyin handed the Ice Heart Divine Lotus to Chen Mobai and, incidentally, revealed a hidden past event. It turned out that Yan Shaoyin had secretly helped Kong Lingling refine a batch of cultivation-enhancing elixirs, which enabled her to break through to the Core Formation late stage. Chen Mobai said nothing about this. After all, at that time, the Five Elements Sect was viewed by the other major sects in the Eastern Desolation as a significant antagonist that needed to be collectively resisted. After receiving the Ice Heart Divine Lotus, Chen Mobai inquired about the progress of the other auxiliary ingredients. Once he had a clear idea, he departed.

That day, Chen Mobai sat upright in his rented cultivation cave. In the void before his brow, a brilliant orange-red ray of light shone dazzlingly. As his spiritual consciousness moved, it flickered and crisscrossed before him like a streak of light, bringing forth chillingly sharp edges. Chen Mobai's eyes were tightly closed. On the ground, an opened clay pot continuously released a crimson, mist-like Fiery Yang Evil Qi. Even as he unreservedly used his Pure Yang spiritual power, the flickering Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi continuously absorbed and refined it.

It was unclear how long passed, but the brilliant ray of the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi reached an unprecedented peak. Following a blinding flash of light, it suddenly retracted completely, transforming into a seemingly inconspicuous orange-red glimmer. Chen Mobai opened his eyes, then raised his right index finger, guiding the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi with his spiritual consciousness to pierce it. As the glimmer collided with his fingertip, Chen Mobai felt a slight stinging pain, and then a drop of bright red blood seeped out. After upgrading to a high-grade third-order, the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi was able to harm his perfected Fire Spirit Body, showcasing the might of the Primordial Yang Sword Art.

However, this was not its limit. Chen Mobai opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of Pure Yang True Qi from his Dantian Qi Sea, injecting it into the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi. Immediately, this orange-red radiance suddenly sparked with faint electric arcs! In that instant, his fingertip, which had previously been able to withstand the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi, was instantly pierced. Feeling the pain from his fingertip, Chen Mobai immediately ceased the supply of Pure Yang True Qi. Soon, the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi lost its momentum and was expelled from his fingertip by his Fire Spirit Body. Gazing at the bloodied hole on his fingertip, Chen Mobai activated his Longevity Dao Physique. In moments, as if time had reversed, flesh and blood regenerated, and within a few breaths, his finger was completely whole again.

To elevate the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi to its peak third-order power, it was essential to activate it with Pure Yang True Qi. A cultivator who has reached Core Formation Completion and condensed True Qi would be perfectly suited to wield a peak third-order sword evil qi. However, Chen Mobai was a special case. He had not yet reached Core Formation Completion, yet he had already condensed an entire strand of Pure Yang True Qi with the aid of the Tushita Fire. If he were to burn an entire strand of Pure Yang True Qi to activate the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi, regardless of the cost, he could even break through its limits, temporarily raising its power to the fourth-order level. But for Chen Mobai, this would certainly not be cost-effective. He possessed other fourth-order techniques, such as the Extreme Yang Slash, so why would he waste his resources like this?

Once again, he guided the upgraded Primordial Yang Sword Evil Qi with his spiritual consciousness, feeling as if it were an extension of his arm. Chen Mobai then opened the sword case made of fourth-order Longevity Wood and placed it back inside. Just as he took out the Scarlet Cloud Smoke Silk and prepared to perform the Ascension technique, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth begin to vibrate again. Chen Mobai rose, opened the window, and looked up. Sure enough, the three Nascent Soul Venerables of the Starry Heaven Dao Sect were once again greeting someone in mid-air.

However, this time, Chen Mobai recognized the approaching person. Leading them was none other than Ye Qing from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect. Only, compared to his time in the Eastern Desolation, he had clearly succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul. Ye Qing stood tall in the sky, a long sword on his back. His aura was lofty and profound, and compared to before, he seemed to possess an indescribable, mysterious power. The three Nascent Soul Venerables of the Starry Heaven Dao Sect respectfully bowed to him. Ye Qing politely returned the gesture, and behind him stood three fellow disciples. One of them was Yuan Zhen, with whom Chen Mobai had a good relationship. She was clearly still a Core Formation cultivator, but compared to before, she had now reached Core Formation Completion. It was likely that they had come to the Big Dipper Assembly for her Nascent Soul formation.

After Ye Qing conversed with the three Nascent Soul Venerables of the Starry Heaven Dao Sect for a while, he led the three from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect down into Stone City. Chen Mobai considered it and felt that since he was also present, he should at least go and pay his respects. Conveniently, Yuan Zhen had given him a communication talisman before she left. However, Ye Qing and his companions were likely at their busiest now, so it would be better to wait a couple of days.

As he thought this, Chen Mobai was about to close the window when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly vibrated again. Three streaks of starlight rose once more. Had people from the Daoist Sect arrived? Only those from Holy Lands received such treatment. But just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, he noticed that the daytime sky suddenly turned pitch black. No... someone had obscured the sunlight. Chen Mobai looked intently, his face filled with shock.

Above the Starry Heaven Dao Sect, a gigantic meteorite was slowly descending, its arrival unknown. The meteorite was dull yellow, covered with natural textures, some straight, some curved, seemingly without any pattern, yet resembling a design formed by nature itself. It spanned the heavens and earth, hurtling directly towards the high mountain where the Starry Heaven Dao Sect was located.

"Which fellow Daoist has graced us with your presence? Xingyun apologizes for not greeting you sooner!" The three Nascent Soul Venerables of the Starry Heaven Dao Sect ascended into the sky again. The one at the forefront, clearly the most powerful, spoke as a vast cluster of starlight erupted from above his head, transforming into a nebula. It resembled a silver mist, seemingly soft and unstoppable, yet it expanded against the wind the moment it ascended. For every inch the nebula ascended, it expanded by a zhang. Moreover, during this process, Chen Mobai noticed that the stone pillars within Stone City began to emit starlight, sparkling like jewels, soaring skyward and merging into the starlit mist. In moments, a sky full of stars spanned over Stone City. Under the guidance of the three Nascent Soul Venerables, it fearlessly moved directly to support the meteorite plummeting from the sky.

"Hahahaha, Xing Ji's sect is indeed impressive; they haven't shamed him." Just as the meteorite and the starry sky were about to collide, a resounding voice echoed. Immediately, the colossal meteorite, which could almost cover the entire Stone City, suddenly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a dull yellow grain of sand, falling into the hand of a tall, burly middle-aged man with a bushy beard.

"May I ask which Sand Controller from the Flying Sand Sect has arrived?" Seeing this scene, Xingyun recalled the colossal sect that governed the Barren Sea. After the collapse of the Eastern Lands Imperial Court, the Ten Directions Palace also sought their own paths. The Flying Sand Sect, guarding the entrance to the Barren Sea, simply left the Eastern Continent and began to establish their own dominion at sea. This allowed them to avoid several major calamities that later struck the Eastern Continent. Relying on their inherited Five Directions Divine Sands, they firmly established themselves in the Barren Sea. These Five Directions Divine Sands were fifth-order magical treasures, capable of splitting and merging. If deployed in a grand formation, they could seal the six directions and suppress the eight wildernesses. During the Eastern Lands Imperial Court era, the Flying Sand Sect even used them to trap a Deity Transformation True Monarch for a century. The Five Directions Divine Sands were wielded by the five most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators within the Flying Sand Sect, who were known as Sand Controllers.

"I am Zuo Dongdu, and I have come to retrieve a portion of the Three Radiance Divine Water." The burly, yellow-robed middle-aged man with the bushy beard stated his name, then uttered words that caused the expressions of Xingyun and the other two to subtly change.

"So it is Venerable Dongdu. If you desire the Three Radiance Divine Water, I can issue you an invitation to fairly compete with our fellow Daoists from the Eastern Continent at the Big Dipper Assembly..." Although the Flying Sand Sect was powerful, the Starry Heaven Dao Sect would certainly not back down in public.

"This is a spiritual talisman Xing Ji gave me back then," Zuo Dongdu interrupted, taking out a star-flickering talisman and directly tossing it to them. "He said if I brought this to your Starry Heaven Dao Sect, I could directly exchange it for a portion of the Three Radiance Divine Water."

"It is indeed the Grand Elder's command token," Xingyun confirmed after inspection, "However, the most recent portion of the Three Radiance Divine Water is reserved as the grand finale item for the Big Dipper Assembly. Refining and preparing another portion might require Venerable Dongdu to wait for a month."

"Another month's wait?" Zuo Dongdu asked, frowning slightly.

"Please bear with us. I will refine it as quickly as possible. Conveniently, the Big Dipper Assembly is about to commence, gathering elites of the righteous path from our Eastern Continent, and even fellow Daoists from Holy Lands are visiting. Perhaps Venerable Dongdu could stay and exchange some of your unique spiritual treasures from the Barren Sea for resources from our Eastern Continent." Hearing this, Zuo Dongdu became interested, nodded, and followed Xingyun into Stone City.

Chen Mobai witnessed the entire scene. Although he didn't know what they discussed, it was clear that the Starry Heaven Dao Sect had handled the situation well. The next day, he called He Sui over and asked about yesterday's events.

"Reporting, Senior, that was a Sand Controller from the Flying Sand Sect..." The Starry Heaven Dao Sect did not conceal Zuo Dongdu's identity, mainly wanting to let their guests know that this Nascent Soul Venerable had an extraordinary background, which was why they had resolved their conflict peacefully and invited him to the Big Dipper Assembly. Chen Mobai had reason to believe that if it were an ordinary rogue Nascent Soul cultivator daring to arrive at the Starry Heaven Dao Sect with such an ostentatious display, Xingyun and the other two would surely have pulverized them to dust.

The Flying Sand Sect! After hearing about Zuo Dongdu's origins, Chen Mobai muttered to himself. Among the Five Continents and Four Seas of the Heavenly River Realm, the Four Seas were Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Barren. Among the former Ten Directions Palace, the Flying Sand Sect could be said to be the only force that has survived to this day and continued to grow stronger. The others had either lost their heritage or were reduced to a small number of single successors. Although there might still be high-level cultivators among them, they were essentially relics of history in the Eastern Desolation.

After dismissing He Sui, Chen Mobai went to stroll along the street in Stone City that specialized in selling talismans. He was primarily conducting research. To his surprise, he discovered the industrially produced talisman paper from his Xiaonanshan Shop displayed in a talisman store. Furthermore, the selling price was ten times what he charged in the Eastern Desolation.

"Senior, the quality of this talisman paper is excellent, and it can be used to draw almost any first-order talisman. Plus, the rent for our shop here is high, which contributes to the higher pricing." Chen Mobai conversed with the shop owner. This shop was run by a local Eastern Yue sect specializing in talisman production. Operating a store in Stone City incurred significant annual spirit stone expenses, and these costs were naturally factored into the product prices. Chen Mobai also learned that this sect acquired its goods from the Starry Heaven Grand Merchant Association. Needless to say, it must have been acquired from the Eastern Desolation and then resold to sects and families within the Eastern Yue region. It just goes to show that Lou Xuelong knows how to do business.

After realizing this, Chen Mobai examined the high-grade talisman paper and ink sold at the shop and found their prices to be extremely high. For the next few days, he continued to research the talisman market. He planned to begin dumping his industrially produced talisman paper into other territories of the Eastern Continent once he formed his Nascent Soul. However, in that scenario, the scale of his puppet factories would be insufficient. These were minor issues, but he intended not to expand within the Immortal Sect but rather to place them within the Divine Tree Secret Realm. He had already simplified the puppet blueprints, and members of the Puppet Division could produce them. The only problem was the machinery. Only the Immortal Sect could manufacture that. With Chen Mobai's current status, he could naturally handle it. However, he planned to acquire old machines that the Immortal Sect was about to discard, much like the refining equipment Qing Nü had obtained from the Jumang Daoist Academy, aiming for the second-hand market. In the Eastern Desolation, industrially produced talisman paper and ink brought him nearly a million spirit stones in annual income. If expanded to the entire Eastern Continent, that figure would surely multiply tenfold.

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, a communication talisman descended from the sky, landing in his palm. It was from Yuan Zhen. Chen Mobai took it with a slight smile, then called He Sui over to lead the way.

"Senior, where are we going?" He Sui, hearing Chen Mobai's words, asked again with some shock.

"To the cultivation cave of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect. Daoist Ye Qing and Saintess Yuan Zhen are acquaintances of mine. Since they've also arrived, it's only right for me to pay them a visit. You know the way, don't you?"

"Yes, I know, Senior... this way." What He Sui wanted to say was that many cultivators at the Big Dipper Assembly wished to establish connections with the Daoists and Saintesses from the Holy Lands, but most were met with rejection. Even Nascent Soul Venerables who personally called upon them might not be granted an audience. As for Chen Mobai claiming to know Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen, He Sui thought it might be that these two World Walkers from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect had encountered him, a local strongman, while dealing with demonic cultivators in the Eastern Desolation. With the Big Dipper Assembly recently convened, the disciples of their Starry Heaven Dao Sect had mostly made a profit, and He Sui had also heard his fellow disciples talk about similar situations. They would enthusiastically go to pay their respects, only to return with embarrassed expressions. But as a mere guide, why should he say more? In any case, he wouldn't be the one losing face.

Soon, He Sui led Chen Mobai to the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect's cultivation cave. For those from Holy Lands, the Starry Heaven Dao Sect proactively provided residences, specifically those with top-tier fourth-order spiritual energy.

"Senior, this is it." Chen Mobai nodded slightly after hearing this, then walked towards the closed gate. He Sui thought for a moment and did not follow, to avoid witnessing his employer's potential embarrassment.

*Creak!* Just as Chen Mobai approached, the large gate unexpectedly opened from within. A female cultivator with a face as exquisite as a painting and skin whiter than snow emerged. Upon seeing Chen Mobai, she couldn't help but smile. Her flawless white teeth, accompanied by a bright smile, resembled pearls. Her delicate brows curved slightly, and combined with her sparkling eyes, her entire being radiated an inner joy.

"Sect Master Chen, long time no see." Yuan Zhen smiled generously and stepped forward to greet him.

"It's a great pleasure to see you again, Saintess Yuan." Chen Mobai responded very politely.

Not far away, He Sui watched this scene, his mouth agape. He had never imagined that Chen Mobai, a Core Formation Sect Master from the rural Eastern Desolation, could actually be personally greeted by the Saintess of the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect. Watching the two converse cheerfully as they entered the gate one after another, He Sui finally understood a saying: True masters do not reveal their true abilities.

"Sect Master Chen, I didn't expect to see you here. Junior Sister, please entertain him well." Just as Chen Mobai and Yuan Zhen were conversing in the courtyard, Ye Qing arrived. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he promptly left. "The Palace Master of the Azure Nether Palace invited my senior brother to discuss matters..." Yuan Zhen explained the reason for Ye Qing's departure. Chen Mobai nodded slightly after hearing this but did not inquire further.

"I haven't yet congratulated Saintess on reaching Core Formation Completion. It seems your Nascent Soul formation is just around the corner." Yuan Zhen also smiled slightly, her eyes narrowing, upon hearing this.

"And I must thank Sect Master Chen for the Immortal Peach Wine you sent. It even saved me a True Blood Elixir." In the past, Yuan Qingque had given her three True Blood Elixirs. After taking one, Yuan Zhen traveled to the Eastern Desolation and obtained a jar of Immortal Peach Wine from Chen Mobai. After drinking it, she took the second True Blood Elixir, and her spiritual power accumulation became complete. However, this was also largely due to her already profound foundation, and taking all three True Blood Elixirs would have wasted most of the medicinal properties of the last one.

"Speaking of which, another batch of Immortal Peach fruits recently ripened on my Xiaonanshan Mountain, and I picked some," Chen Mobai said as he took out a fourth-order Immortal Peach fruit from his storage bag. "Its natural flavor is quite unique; Saintess, you should definitely try some."

"This item is precious..." Yuan Zhen repeatedly declined, but Chen Mobai simply cut it open for her. A rich peach fragrance permeated the air, filling the entire courtyard. Soon, the other two Core Formation cultivators from the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect were also drawn over.

"Once cut, this Immortal Peach fruit should be consumed quickly to avoid wasting its spiritual effects," Chen Mobai said with a smile.

"Then I thank Sect Master Chen," Yuan Zhen said, a mix of exasperation and amusement in her tone. "Senior Brother Bai, Junior Sister Wang, you two should also come and try some." Yuan Zhen naturally hadn't forgotten her two direct disciples. Bai Zisheng and Wang Qiongyan hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist their curiosity and came over to taste a slice of the Immortal Peach. Both were at the late Core Formation stage. After eating, they immediately discovered the benefits, instantly disregarding their manners. They sat cross-legged in the courtyard and began cultivating with spirit stones in hand.

Yuan Zhen, having reached Core Formation Completion, could leisurely savor the taste of the Immortal Peach fruit. She closed her eyes, savoring the moment, before opening them again and taking another slice. Unbeknownst to him, Chen Mobai hadn't even finished a cup of tea, yet Yuan Zhen had already eaten three slices. If she hadn't thought to save a slice for Ye Qing to try, she probably would have eaten the entire fruit.

"Dare I ask, Sect Master Chen, do you have any more Immortal Peach fruits?" At this moment, Bai Zisheng and Wang Qiongyan also finished their meditation. Feeling the incredibly pure spiritual energy they had gained from the Immortal Peach fruit, they couldn't help but ask Chen Mobai.

"I have four more." Chen Mobai directly took out all the remaining ones he had brought.

"Sect Master Chen, what resources are you looking for at the Big Dipper Assembly? Junior Sister Wang and I are willing to help you collect them, only asking to exchange them for these four Immortal Peaches." Bai Zisheng stated his intention directly.

"What I desire most, naturally, is the Three Radiance Divine Water, but its value surpasses even a hundred Immortal Peach fruits," Chen Mobai said with a sigh. Then, as Bai Zisheng's expression turned a little awkward, Chen Mobai mentioned some fourth-order medicinal ingredients he needed. "Just get me four of them." Chen Mobai was very polite, offering one peach for one ingredient. Unexpectedly, Wang Qiongyan actually possessed one of them, called Purple Blood Divine Grass.

"I also have a bottle of Profound Spirit Heavenly Dew here," Yuan Zhen added. Yuan Zhen also took out a bottle of fourth-order spiritual dew. This item could be exchanged for within the Nine Heavens Demon Extermination Sect, and Bai Zisheng stated that he would exchange a new portion to return to Yuan Zhen after returning.

"If you two wish to enhance your spiritual power, I also have a top-grade Reversion Elixir here..." Seeing the Reversion Elixir Chen Mobai took out, Bai Zisheng and the others were greatly surprised. Wang Qiongyan, being an alchemist herself, was even more astonished after authenticating it and confirming it was indeed top-grade.

"The medicinal properties inside this elixir are still active, indicating it was refined recently. I wonder which master alchemist produced it." Wang Qiongyan was not as tactful as the appraisers from the Daoist Sect and directly asked the question.

"In my Eastern Desolation, there's a major alchemy sect with a millennium-long heritage called Return to Heaven Valley. Its patriarch, Yan Shaoyin, is hailed as the Eastern Desolation's foremost alchemist..." Chen Mobai felt it wasn't the right time to expose Qing Nü, so he directly brought up Yan Shaoyin, who had just submitted to him.

Yan Shaoyin, who was currently counting auxiliary ingredients with Lu Huixin, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze. "My cultivation has fallen, and my body is weaker. Could it be a chill?" Yan Shaoyin thought to himself, intending to refine and take an elixir for expelling cold after returning.

"Sect Master Chen, I still have one True Blood Elixir here," Yuan Zhen said. "How about I exchange it with you for two top-grade Reversion Elixirs?" Chen Mobai stated he only had two Reversion Elixirs left. Seeing the longing expressions of Bai Zisheng and Wang Qiongyan, Yuan Zhen immediately took out the True Blood Elixir she had previously saved. This was considered the best elixir on the Eastern Continent for Core Formation cultivators to enhance their spiritual power. Moreover, it was personally refined by Yuan Qingque, making its quality superior.

"Excellent, excellent." Chen Mobai naturally agreed; he had also heard of the True Blood Elixir's reputation. The value of his two Reversion Elixirs couldn't compare, so he directly waived the need for the remaining two fourth-order medicinal ingredients.

"Thank you, Sect Master Chen, and thank you, Saintess." Bai Zisheng and Wang Qiongyan expressed their gratitude. Then, at Yuan Zhen's gesture, they took the Immortal Peach fruit and Reversion Elixir and returned to secluded cultivation to consume them. After they left, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then took out a Beauty-Fixing Bead.
