The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Fiery Flame Commerce [First Update]

Pill Country is the Alchemy Dao Sacred Land of the Heavenly Origin Continent. It could be said that nearly all Pill Masters wish to enter Pill Country.

However, ordinary Pill Masters simply do not have the qualifications to do so.

Like Li Xingjiu, the former Alchemist Association President of Lanqu County, who was a Sixth-level Alchemist, he also had to exert some effort to finally manage to enter Pill Country and join the Golden Sparrow Commerce. But now, Li Xingjiu has already left Golden Sparrow Commerce and joined the Splendid Pill Tower.

Jing Qingyan certainly also wanted to visit Pill Country. After all, this place is the Alchemy Dao Sacred Land.

But if he was to choose for himself, he would still prefer to stay within the Pill Tower of Donglin City to refine Elixirs. It was only because Alchemist Jing Yan sent someone to summon him that he had no choice but to come.

After spending more than half a year traveling, they arrived in Pill Country from Donglin City. Standing at the base of the mountain, they could already see the majestic peak city.

”Brother Qing Yan, your obsession with Alchemy really runs deep. You will surely achieve great things in the field of Alchemy Dao in the future.” Jing Yan looked towards Jing Qingyan and said with a smile.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Jing Qingyan smiled upon hearing Jing Yan’s words.

”Uncle Chenxing, let’s enter Pill Country first! The reason I called you over this time is indeed for important matters.” Jing Yan greeted the two men, and they began to climb together.

Jing Chenxing, despite having lost one leg, was now a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm. Climbing the mountain was not difficult for him.

Several hours later, Jing Yan and the others arrived at the gates of Pill Country.

To enter Pill Country, one had to go through this gate. Trying to enter from other places was extremely dangerous, for the entire city was surrounded with various Formations. If one did not have sufficient strength and rashly entered into the Formations, it was very likely they would perish within.

”Alchemist Jing Yan!”

”Greetings, Alchemist Jing Yan!”

As soon as Jing Yan and the others approached the gate of Pill Country, the Guards promptly bowed in respect, exhibiting great reverence.

They all recognized Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s reputation in Pill Country was exceedingly high.

When Li Xingjiu first came out to receive Jing Yan and Zhou Shangyun into Pill Country, the Guards had not been so polite.

”It’s been hard on you!” Jing Yan responded with a smile, ”These are my elders.”

”Good day to you both!” the Guards immediately greeted Jing Chenxing and Jing Qingyan.

Jing Qingyan and Jing Chenxing were both taken aback, lost in thought. They did not understand why the Guards were so respectful towards Jing Yan.

Another thing was that both of them were of Innate Realm Cultivation, yet they could not sense the Martial Arts Strength of the Guards. However, they could feel that the aura of these Guards was very profound, far stronger than their own.

”Uncle Chenxing, shall we go in?” Seeing the two of them in a daze, Jing Yan called out.

”Oh... Oh!” They finally snapped back to reality.

Following Jing Yan into Pill Country, they did not even need to pay the entrance fee. Jing Yan’s status in Pill Country was too high; letting two people in was nothing, even if he brought in hundreds, there would be no need to pay any fee.

The honorary president of Youhai Commerce, the Building Owner of Jade Building—these titles were no small matter. Moreover, Jing Yan had a very close relationship with the City Lord of Pill Spirit City. It was said that he could visit the City Lord Mansion any time and see the City Lord whenever he pleased. This was something ordinary people could not achieve.

”Jing Yan, those Guards seemed very strong. What is their level of Cultivation?” After entering Pill Country, Jing Qingyan couldn’t help but ask.

”The one leading them is an Early Stage Dao Master Realm Martial Artist. The rest are Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists,” Jing Yan said casually.

Jing Chenxing and Jing Qingyan were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Martial Artists of the Dao Spirit Realm?

Martial Artists of the Dao Master Realm?

Heaven...

At this moment, their minds went blank, hardly able to believe what they’d heard.

”Jing Yan, they seemed to respect you quite a lot. You...” After recovering his senses, Jing Chenxing looked at Jing Yan again with full curiosity.

”They are part of the City Lord Mansion’s Guard. I have a bit of a relationship with the City Lord of Pill Spirit City, so they respect me,” Jing Yan said nonchalantly with a wave of his hand.

They continued to walk.

”Youhai Commerce?”

”What a grand commerce association!”

”We now also have a commerce association in Donglin City!”

Arriving in front of the Youhai Commerce building, Jing Chenxing said with a sense of awe, looking at the towering edifice.

”Jing Yan, our Donglin City is now quite a large city. Especially in the field of Medicines, nearly all other cities in Lanqu County come to Donglin City to buy Elixirs.”

”That’s right! And the Flame Adventure Group!”

”Jing Yan, the members of the Flame Adventure Team are your friends, aren’t they?” Jing Qingyan also grew excited, speaking more than usual.

Jing Qingyan was obsessed with Alchemy, often silent unless discussing Alchemy Dao with other Pill Masters. But being in Pill Country, he was clearly excited and more talkative.

”The Flame Adventure Team?” Jing Yan’s eyes flickered.

”They are indeed my friends. How are they doing in Donglin City now?” Jing Yan, upon hearing ’Flame,’ suddenly remembered the siblings, Gao Zhan and Gao Feng.

It was his idea for the Flame Adventure Team to go to Donglin City.

”They’re doing well! A few years ago, when the Flame Adventure Team came to Donglin City, they first made contact with our Jing Family. Once the family knew they were your friends, we took good care of them. Initially, their main activity was entering Black Stone Mountain Range to hunt spiritual beasts for resources. However, with our Jing Family’s help, they later established the Fiery Flame Commerce in Donglin City.”

”After several years of development, Fiery Flame Commerce has also grown increasingly large,” Jing Qingyan explained slowly.

”That’s good to hear!” Jing Yan smiled, reassured to know that Gao Feng and her brother had been doing well.

”Jing Yan!” Jing Chenxing suddenly showed a mischievous smile, ”That Gao Feng, does she have a crush on you? She asked me many times about news of you, wondering why you haven’t returned to Donglin City in several years. I think, she must be fond of you and keeps thinking about you.”

”Ah?” Jing Yan’s heart stirred slightly.

The image of Gao Feng appeared vividly in his mind.

”When you get the chance, try to visit Donglin City more often. I think Gao Feng is a good person—straightforward but kind-hearted. And she cultivates fast too. She’s already attained Innate Peak Cultivation. I remember when she first arrived in Donglin City; she hadn’t yet broken through to Innate,” Jing Chenxing continued.

”That is indeed rapid progress,” Jing Yan nodded.

Gao Feng’s breakthrough to Innate thanks to Jing Yan’s aid. Without his Holy Spirit Potion, she might have eventually reached Innate, but certainly not so swiftly.

”Uncle Chenxing, let’s go in,” Jing Yan stepped forward, heading towards the main entrance of Youhai Commerce.

”Jing Yan, what are we doing at Youhai Commerce? Oh, what’s your relationship with Youhai Commerce? They mentioned wanting to establish a cooperation with us, saying it was your idea.” Jing Chenxing and Jing Qingyan were both somewhat perplexed.
