Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 456 - 462: Successful Acquisition

Sun Chuanhu first approached the Golden Core Cultivator named Wang Junjie and invited him out for a leisurely outing. Then, aboard the ship, as if unintentionally, he said, ”Fellow Daoist is immensely talented, yet youʼre trapped in trivial matters all day long, lacking enough time for cultivation and the necessary resources, which is why youʼre still stuck at the Middle Golden Core stage.”

Wang Junjie strongly agreed, ”Exactly, if that werenʼt the case, Iʼm afraid I could have been expecting a Nascent Soul by now!”

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Sun Chuanhuʼs eyes. He was merely flattering him, and yet this person actually took it seriously, with no self-awareness at all.

However, for the sake of his plan, Sun Chuanhu could only nod in agreement, repeatedly praising him, and then whispered, ”Fellow Daoist, I currently have a channel through which to acquire a large amount of resources, but it comes with some risks. What do you think?”

”Oh? What is it? Can it help me make a breakthrough?” Wang Junjie showed a mix of curiosity and wariness in his eyes. He instinctively felt there was no such good deal in the world, but he still couldnʼt help being tempted.

Sun Chuanhu shook his head and said, ”This matter is of great importance, I canʼt possibly speak of it casually. Otherwise, if it were to leak out, I wonʼt end up with anything good.”

”Are you doubting my integrity, Fellow Daoist Wang Junjie?” he asked, looking angrily at the fellow sect member before him.

Sun Chuanhu smiled without a word. His bait had been cast; now it was time to see whether the fish would take it.

”I, Wang Junjie, swear here that I shall absolutely not reveal anything about todayʼs matter, or may lightning strike me down, and my path of cultivation be severed!” Wang Junjie, eager to get his hands on those resources, immediately made a cultivatorʼs oath.

He was no longer young. If he continued to linger in the Middle Golden Core stage, he might never have the chance to attack the Nascent Soul level in his lifetime. He could only watch as the years passed by and life came to an end; how could he be content with that?

”Someone wants to get their hands on the Green Heaven Fruit Spirit Seed and has offered a large amount of third-tier Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones for it,” Sun Chuanhu quietly added, ”Most of these Spirit Pills are of the finest quality, with Pill Patterns on them.”

The astonishment and fear in Wang Junjieʼs eyes were completely ignited by the words ʼfinest quality Spirit Pills,ʼ like a raging fire exploding deep within his pupils.

”This must be the Li family from the eastern part of Myriad Thunder State, right? Only they could come up with Spirit Pills of such quality.”

Sun Chuanhu simply smiled without responding. He did not care who the mastermind behind the scenes was; he just wanted to complete this deal, obtain the hefty resources, and retrieve the leverage he had in Fu Qinghuanʼs hands.

”Iʼm in! But I want plenty of Cultivation Spirit Pills!” Wang Junjie greedily made his demand.

”Iʼll negotiate with them,” Sun Chuanhu assured.

The Golden Core Cultivator responsible for inspecting Spiritual Medicines was taken care of, and with a mix of intimidation and enticement, the casting Cultivator obediently joined this little clique.

Time flies; two months later, it was finally Sun Chuanhu, Wang Junjie, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivatorʼs turn to go on duty together.

After some careful planning and calculations, they managed to sneak a Green Heaven Fruit that had not had the Fusion Spirit Skill applied onto the transport ship that Sun Chuanhu was in charge of.

Moving along, with intermittent stops, the fleet arrived in Myriad Thunder State about half a month later.

After the handover, all the other Cultivators in the fleet went to rest or to seek pleasures except for Sun Chuanhu, who secretly sought out Fu Qinghuan.

”Was it a success?” Fu Qinghuan, seeing the visitor, knew why he had come. His trembling voice was filled with excitement and anxiety.

”No one noticed, did they?”

”Donʼt worry, I wouldnʼt dare mess up on something as serious as this,” Sun Chuanhu reassured.

”Good!” Fu Qinghuanʼs eyes were covered with a fervent excitement, ”Iʼll contact that Elder right away, and we will all get what we want.”

At that moment, Li Zhirui, who had been casually chatting with Jiang Fengwu who had just returned to the family, felt the vibration of the third-order Communication Talisman and instantly stood up from the stone bench.

”Whatʼs wrong? Whatʼs gotten you so excited?” Jiang Fengwu looked at Li Zhirui, baffled.

Although she had only been out for a few months on a trial by fire, the tempering of blood and flame had changed Jiang Fengwuʼs temperament considerably; she no longer possessed the maternal softness she had before.

More importantly, Jiang Fengwuʼs mindset had opened up once again! She was no longer confined to their little household.

Even though there was no breakthrough or progress in her cultivation, the significant change in her mindset was an excellent gain.

”If nothing goes wrong, this should be great news!” Li Zhirui rarely lost his composure, said this, and then hurriedly pushed the door open and left.

By the time Jiang Fengwu chased after him, she could only see Li Zhiruiʼs Spirit Light soaring through the skies of Tianqiong.

”What in the world could make Zhirui so happy and excited?”

At full speed, Li Zhirui arrived at Xuanfa Pavilion in Myriad Thunder State in just one hour.

”Senior, please, this way!” Fu Qinghuan invited with a delighted smile.

Li Zhirui glanced at him and quietly used his Divine Sense to scan the entire shop, and once he didnʼt detect any ambush, he immediately felt relieved.

It seemed, indeed, to be a joyous occasion!

The two arrived in a secluded room, where Sun Chuanhu had been waiting, and as soon as he heard the door open, he promptly stood up to greet them.

”These are the things I promised you before. You may check them,” said Li Zhirui amicably, but added unquestionably, ”However, I hope you wonʼt be too greedy.”

”You should know, the greedy often meet with a bad end!”

Fu Qinghuan and Sun Chuanhu stiffened, repeatedly saying, ”Senior speaks the truth, but we are not greedy people, and moreover, Senior has given us plenty already.”

The storage bag that Li Zhirui had given them was filled with Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, fully satisfying their avarice.

Finally, it was Fu Qinghuan who first regained his composure, took out his share, and said to Sun Chuanhu, ”The rest of the Spiritual Objects, you guys can split them.”

”Donʼt cause any trouble, or you will certainly be one of those executed by the trade association!”

”Donʼt worry, I value my life a lot,” chuckled Sun Chuanhu dryly, not caring whether they had other transactions or not, hastily packed up the storage bag, and strode out of the room.

When there were only Li Zhirui and Fu Qinghuan left in the room, he spoke again, ”Senior, this is the Green Heaven Fruit Spirit Seed; have you prepared the item I requested?”

”With an oath in place, do you really fear I might go back on my word?” Li Zhirui laughed softly and handed over a Soul Jade Slip to him.

”Here is the Spirit Seed. Please take good care of it,” he said, pushing across a Jade Box that was sealed so well that even Divine Sense couldnʼt detect it.

In the end, Fu Qinghuan also reminded, ”Do not let the news leak out, or the headquarters might very likely send someone to investigate.”

”Understood.” Li Zhirui took the Jade Box, immediately stowed it in space, and handed the box back.
