Stealing Immortal

“Junior Brother, you must know that the Beast Taming Technique is a matter of Human-Spirit Union. It takes the strengths of the spirit beast and combines them with the spirituality of the human, allowing both to walk the Great Dao together. Although the Cyan Bird is with me now, its fundamental nature is hard to change. If I could obtain a Green Fall Fruit of Eternal Life, it would help my Cultivation breakthrough.”

After a moment of thought, Chen Qingyang asked, “Senior Sister, are you saying there’s an elixir from the True Register Elixir Platform that, once refined, is comparable to the Green Fall Fruit of Eternal Life and can aid your Cultivation?”

Jing Shu nodded. “Exactly.”

‘The Alchemy Dao is truly worthy of its reputation as the foundation of all arts,’ Chen Qingyang thought. ‘No matter what realm or Dharma Gate one cultivates, one can always find a corresponding elixir to assist with a breakthrough.’

“What tier is the elixir?”

“Tier Six. If Junior Brother can get to the True Register Elixir Platform, you’ll surely be able to obtain it. If you can’t just yet… I’ll have to ask someone else.” As she spoke, her voice became soft and mournful, truly stirring one’s pity.

‘Her appearance didn’t necessarily reflect her true feelings. At the very least, she had planned this out long ago, having already made clear inquiries about Fulu Workshop.’

“The True Register Elixir Platform? I go there often. I’m acquainted with the senior brother in charge there. I can get a Tier Six Elixir as well. However, the Pill Formula cannot be shared. If I do this for you, Senior Sister, I can only give you the elixir, not the Pill Formula.”

Hearing that her request was possible, Jing Shu covered her mouth with a pleased smile. “That’s even better. Otherwise, I’d have to make a special trip to ask someone to refine it. You can hardly find another person in the entire Tai Xu Sect who cultivates the same Dharma Gate as me, so this elixir isn’t something people know about. Of course… if Junior Brother can do this for me, I will reward you handsomely. What is it that you desire?”

‘There were many things he wanted, but if he were to say them, Jing Shu certainly wouldn’t agree. And even if she did, she might not be able to deliver.’

“Senior Sister, I cultivate the Five Elements Sword and am in great need of Five Elements Essence. If it’s convenient for you this time, perhaps you could help me acquire some. Of course, when I return, I will diligently refine elixirs for you. I can produce at least ten Tier Four Elixirs within two months.”

He didn’t say how much Five Elements Essence he wanted, only how many elixirs he could produce. The rest was up to Jing Shu’s sincerity.

He didn’t expect Jing Shu to counter with the same tactic. “Ah, Junior Brother Chen, in that case, I will also do my utmost to find as much as I can for you. As for the elixirs, I will need ten per month. It would be best if you could provide that for four or five consecutive months.”

‘I’ve met my match,’ he thought. ‘She’s clearly trying to take advantage of me. Refining this elixir is purely a favor, since it seems I won’t find another person who needs it besides her.’

“Of course, of course! My Five Elements Sword is all in your hands now, Senior Sister!”

Jing Shu paused, seemingly unable to comprehend what he meant by “all in your hands now, Senior Sister.”

After exchanging toasts and savoring the Vermilion Fruits, they ate and drank their fill. Chen Qingyang left behind a Conscious Fish, then took his leave.

The two people who remained sat still. “Junior Sister,” Chao Rui said, “Junior Brother Chen is only in the first realm of Essence Condensation. By asking him to do this, aren’t you making things difficult for him?”

Jing Shu replied, “I’m not. I have a good feeling about him. I’m certain he can do it.”

“Why?” Chao Rui asked.

Jing Shu suddenly laughed. “Didn’t you see how he left Yao Jingzhi completely speechless? A person like that has real ability.”

Chao Rui sighed. “But won’t this just bring him trouble?”

Jing Shu sounded as if she had the utmost confidence in Chen Qingyang. “Don’t worry. He even dared to offend the Separation Dragon Pill Institute. What’s a mere Yao Jingzhi in comparison?”

…

Chen Qingyang, who had been eavesdropping for a while, was taken aback. ‘This senior sister’s confidence in me is honestly terrifying.’
