Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1542: Chapter 572: Tian Xuan Overcome, Signs of Nascent Soul Formation

Tianyuan Building, the seventh floor.

The plump cultivator’s face changed drastically, filled with immense shock.

For the Transforming Demon Emperor himself to have infiltrated the Human Immortal Island, this was no small matter.

If discovered, it could very well brew a massive war!

In the Mountain Sea Realm, humans and demons are irreconcilable.

Ever since the ancient wars ended and a truce was signed, there seemed to have been no large-scale conflicts, only minor skirmishes, but everyone knew it was only temporary.

After more than three thousand years, such a peaceful situation was on the verge of collapse.

As a Holy Land of the Central Continent, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect was always the most well-informed.

As far as he was aware, apart from the demon-free Central Continent, the other four continents had already reignited wars, to varying degrees.

Especially in the North Sea, it was the most intense!

Over a hundred years ago, the Demon Alliance Army had invaded the Beiji Yemo Sky, wiping out the Yuan Mo Sect, a telling sign of change.

With the Holy Land destroyed and the North Sea Cultivation World leaderless, even the emergence of new forces like the Canghai Righteous Alliance was merely a drop in the bucket.

It was clear to everyone that once the demons could catch their breath, new flames of war would sweep across the entire North Sea!

It was for this reason that the North Sea Humans, adhering to the principle of securing internal peace before repelling external threats, saw major powers clashing both overtly and covertly, jockeying for supremacy to lead the resistance against the Demon Alliance Army.

In such circumstances, a Transforming Monster Cultivator with an unknown identity infiltrating a major city in the southeast should have some motive.

Is she a scout, coming to gather intelligence?

Or a saboteur, attempting to disrupt the alliance between Penglai Immortal Sect and Mo Luo Sect?

Maybe it’s purely personal, without involve any factional disputes?

Within a short time, the plump cultivator looked at the face in the bronze mirror, thoughts racing in his mind.

But gradually, his expression became one of uncertain astonishment.

”Eh...”

”Its true form... a Tianxuan Fighting Bird?”

”Once transformed, the Nascent Soul of a demon cultivator can conceal its true form, even under this magic mirror that detects demons, it would only reveal that it is non-human.”

”Could it be just an ordinary Third Order Demon Beast?”

”But how could a Third Order Demon Beast transform? Could it be by luck, having consumed the legendary Transforming Grass?”

All these thoughts swirled in his head.

No matter what, the plump cultivator could not remain seated any longer; he sent a message through a sound transmission.

Then he silently rose to his feet, concealed his breath, and descended from the seven-story building.

Upon reaching the first-floor lobby and seeing the somewhat confused female cultivator, he went straight to her.

”I am Chao Sheng, the humble manager of this place. How may I be of service, guest?”

Seeing the plump face approaching with a beaming smile, Tian Xuan’s expression became stern.

Golden Core Cultivator!

She had been wondering why no one had come to greet her since entering the store.

She had thought that the Tianyuan Business Alliance Store, with its grand background, did not deign to welcome guests warmly.

But she hadn’t expected that the person coming to serve her would turn out to be a cultivator at the Golden Core Period!

Although merely at Early Golden Core Stage, backed by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, Tian Xuan dared not treat him lightly.

”I am Tian Xuan. I have a batch of Demon Beast materials on hand, does your store purchase them?”

Chao Sheng raised his eyebrows, ”Demon Beast materials? Which Clan are they from, let me have a look.”

Tian Xuan hesitated, ”This place doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?”

Chao Sheng chuckled and gestured with his hand, ”Then let’s change the location, this way please.”

Tian Xuan saw no issue with this and followed his lead, climbing up along the staircase.

The spiral staircase gave the illusion of being endlessly ascending.

When entering an empty room, Tian Xuan felt for a moment as if she had passed through a curtain of water.

Inside, she took out the last remainder of materials from her storage bag.

The torso of a Third-order Demon Crab King, most notably its claws and legs, along with some thick tendons, eyeballs, and bones.

Even within separate jade boxes, there were ten Monster Pills of different attributes!

Upon seeing this, even Chao Sheng, for all his experience, couldn’t help but be astonished.

”Third Order Green Emperor Crab, King Crab, Demon Spider Crab... even the venomous King Crab is included. Friend Tian Xuan, you must have wiped out the den of a Demon Crab Clan domain, haven’t you?”

Tian Xuan replied coldly, ”That’s none of your concern. Just tell me if you’ll buy them or not?”

Chao Sheng rubbed his hands together and laughed, ”Of course, I’ll buy. But I need to appraise them. You don’t mind waiting for a moment, do you?”

”Hmm.”

Tian Xuan nodded and took a seat aside.

Chao Sheng appraised the quality of the various materials while casually chatting with the other party.

Though she was cautious and evaded many questions, the truth of her answers wasn’t important to Chao Sheng; he was observing her reactions.

In the end, Chao Sheng offered a fair price for the goods.

Three million Spirit Stones!

To be paid in full with Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones!

Tian Xuan was initially somewhat dissatisfied, thinking she could have asked for more, but when she heard the payment would be entirely in Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones, she happily agreed.

The master had instructed her that, if possible, settle transactions with Medium Grade Spirit Stones, preferably Ascendant Grade!

She didn’t understand the difference in Spirit Stone grades before.

But having watched her master set up Arrays several times using the God Sealing Compass, mostly consuming Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones, she knew that there were thresholds even for immortal cultivators to activate their magic items.

”With this income, added to the previous earnings, it makes up exactly ten million. Especially with such a batch of Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones, the master will surely be pleased.”

Tian Xuan was happy to agree to the transaction.

Indeed, Tianyuan Business Alliance is truly generous, even paying with Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones!
