Chapter 705: Ethereal Indeterminate Prison

**Beast Realm.**

“Sect Master, the Longevity Pills we painstakingly refined are almost having half their profits taken by that guy surnamed Jiao. Is this really acceptable?” A golden eyeball orbited around Xu Bai, spinning continuously. Fang Zaiji’s somewhat resentful voice emanated from it.

“Let Old Fang here go talk to him; I’m sure I can get him to bleed a bit more. Ah, Old Liu is good in every way, except he’s too honest. He gets tricked and still foolishly speaks up for others.”

Even though he had gradually grown accustomed to Fang Zaiji’s consistently “blunt” remarks, Liu San couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger upon hearing this.

He reached out, intending to grab the Eye of Shared Vision that Fang Zaiji possessed, but it deftly eluded him.

“Heh heh, still trying to catch me. Am I, Fang Zaiji, the kind of person who makes the same mistake twice? I’ve already improved…”

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Bai suddenly pinched it in his hand.

It buzzed, seemingly still struggling, but Fang Zaiji’s voice was no longer heard.

“Mr. Fang, there’s no need to mind. As the saying goes, ‘to take, you must first give.’ If we didn’t give Jiao Xiuyuan such a large cut, why would he be so enthusiastic and proactive in helping us promote the Longevity Pills? For us, the cost is merely a few herbs from the Longevity Valley. It’s essentially a massive profit with no capital. It’s just a matter of earning a bit more or a bit less.”

“Furthermore, Jiao Xiuyuan has countless avatars scattered across the entire Xuanhuang Realm, and his strength is unfathomable. Does Mr. Fang truly wish to argue with him?”

Xu Bai asked with a half-smile.

The golden eyeball immediately stopped struggling.

Xu Bai released his grip, and soon after, Fang Zaiji’s faint voice emerged: “Oh, I was just saying. Since you, Sect Master, have no objections, then forget it.”

He paused, then added, “I heard that Jiao Xiuyuan’s Thousand Li Hall sells everything? So, if Old Fang here refines some small gadgets and sells them there, that should be fine, right?”

Liu San snorted coldly, “The magical artifacts and treasures of the Myriad Immortal Alliance are now mass-produced in standardized forms, with prices far lower than in our time. Even if you could refine something, how much could you earn?”

Fang Zaiji’s impatient voice replied, “Old Liu, you know nothing about artifact refining, so don’t meddle so much. Sect Master, just tell us, yes or no.”

Liu San was about to speak again but was interrupted by Xu Bai’s raised hand.

“Since Mr. Fang wishes to do so, then by all means, proceed. If you lack materials, you can also request them from Elder Liu,” Xu Bai replied with a smile.

“Sect Master is magnanimous!” The golden eyeball zipped up and down, seemingly a bit excited.

“Then await my good news; I’m sure it will surprise you all!”

With that, the golden eyeball transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

“Young Master, you are too soft-hearted. Constantly indulging Fang Zaiji, he might cause more trouble in the future,” Liu San sighed.

“It’s alright, no major problems will arise. Elder Fang may seem a bit frivolous, but in reality, he has never neglected the task I assigned him: strengthening the True Pill Cauldron of the Medicine King. He just doesn’t show it in front of you, Elder Liu,” Xu Bai explained with a smile.

“Is that so?” Liu San was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Not pursuing that topic, Xu Bai instead inquired about the progress of the Longevity Pill refinement.

Liu San frowned slightly and said, “The Myriad Immortal Alliance’s recent opening of the mist exploration has led to an enormous demand for Longevity Pills among cultivators. Our refined stock has almost sold out during this period, and with only me providing the Evergreen Longevity Power, the speed of pill refining simply cannot keep up with the rate of consumption…”

Liu San paused, then tentatively asked, “Young Master, don’t you think we could consider awakening a few more?”

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, not answering immediately, but instead asked in return, “Elder Liu, do you have anyone suitable in mind?”

Within the True Pill Cauldron of the Medicine King, six Dao Integration cultivators were originally in slumber.

Liu San and Fang Zaiji had already been awakened; four others were still within the Grand Dream Spring and Autumn Formation.

After a brief moment of thought, Liu San offered his suggestion: “I recommend awakening Elder Jiang, Jiang Yushan.”

Subsequently, Liu San explained to Xu Bai the reasons for choosing her.

“The main reason we cannot awaken all the cultivators of the Medicine King Sect at present is the restriction against simultaneous cultivation of the same technique. If those who cultivate the Lifesaving Longevity Scripture were to awaken together, a tragic massacre might occur on the spot.”

“But if it’s Yushan, I believe a little bit of killing intent simply won’t affect her,” Liu San said slowly.

It turned out that Jiang Yushan was originally a disciple of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects: the Undetermined Prison.

The Undetermined Prison was a somewhat special existence among the Immortal Sects. As its name suggests, rather than a sect, it was actually a prison.

It suppressed countless cultivators who had defied the orders of the Immortal Sects since the Ten Immortal Dao Sects began ruling the Xuanhuang Realm.

They were exiled to the same place, left to slaughter each other.

The space where these cultivators were banished was ethereal and unpredictable; apart from a very few cultivators, no one knew how to enter it.

Hence, it was named the Undetermined Prison.

Jiang Yushan was originally a jailer of the Undetermined Prison, responsible for guarding these heinous villains and preventing their escape.

After spending a long time in the Undetermined Prison, one would inevitably be tainted by the overwhelming malevolent aura.

Even cultivators with the firmest resolve could not guarantee remaining clear-headed under such circumstances.

Therefore, every thirty years, the Undetermined Prison would replace its jailers.

New jailers were chosen through various methods. Although their cultivation might not be exceptionally high, their actual combat prowess had to be extremely formidable, and their disposition had to be ruthless.

Otherwise, they would be utterly incapable of suppressing the numerous fierce criminals within the Undetermined Prison.

After leaving the Undetermined Prison, Jiang Yushan came to the Medicine King Sect to dispel the malevolent aura clinging to her.

Her purpose was to heal the sick, save lives, accumulate virtue, and perform good deeds.

To conceal a heart of killing.

“The palpable killing intent within the Undetermined Prison couldn’t affect Yushan’s consciousness. If it’s merely the killing intent generated by two people cultivating the same technique, she should easily be able to resist it,” Liu San affirmed confidently.

Xu Bai remained silent, then suddenly asked, “What about you, Elder Liu? The effects of simultaneous cultivation are reciprocal. Can you guarantee that you won’t make a move against Elder Jiang?”

Liu San blurted out, “Even if I die, I will not be an enemy of Yushan…”

Xu Bai immediately smiled.

“Good, then it’s decided. However, a little preparation is still needed. Elder Liu, please calm yourself first, and I will inform you when the time is right,” Xu Bai agreed.

“Good, good,” Liu San seemed a little excited.

He conjured a water mirror and examined himself in it.

“Although Jiang Yushan is an outsider and not very familiar with the internal affairs of the Medicine King Sect, I am currently using an avatar, so my impersonation of Liu Yihang will not be exposed.”

“Still, it’s necessary to be cautious.”

Xu Bai’s eyes flickered.
