Chapter 1030 - 720: Primordial Fire Pill

Chapter 1030: Chapter 720: Primordial Fire Pill

This batch of herbs for refining the Golden Transformation Pill is provided by the Commerce Alliance.

Both the main and auxiliary materials are of ample age, well-processed, and perfectly preserved.

Clearly selected with care.

For our first collaboration, the other side has shown sufficient sincerity.

"Hm, not bad. Prepare, we will open the furnace in three days," Shen Xuan instructed.

"Yes, Pill Master Shen," the two responded in unison.

At this moment, Zhang Zehua took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from his bosom and offered it with both hands: "Pill Master Shen, this is just received. It’s from the Ren Family of Dragon Mountain."

"Ren Family of Dragon Mountain?" Shen Xuan’s eyebrow slightly moved.

The other half of Sword Washing Lake’s waters and its affiliated islands belong to the Ren Family on the opposite side’s Dragon Mountain.

He temporarily resides on Surging Sword Island and has no interactions with the Ren Family, nor any intention to seek connections.

Accepting the Sound Transmission Talisman, his Divine Sense swept over it, the signature was from Ren Zhiyuan, the head of the Ren Family.

The content was nothing more than an admiration visit, with quite polite wording.

"Forget it, their ancestor is a Nascent Soul True Monarch and serves at the Daoist Palace. Might as well give him some face and meet up casually."

Shen Xuan pondered internally.

Soon, his figure appeared outside Surging Sword Island, standing in mid-air, his blue robe slightly swaying in the morning breeze, the Spiritual Pressure released.

Soon, a bright yellow Escape Light sped over from the direction of Dragon Mountain, its radiance dimming to reveal a stern-faced middle-aged cultivator with an authoritative square face.

His aura was deep and solid, unmistakably at the Golden Core Middle Stage, exactly that of Ren Zhiyuan, the Ren family head.

"Loose Cultivator Shen Xingchen, greetings to Clan Head Ren."

Shen Xuan was the first to bow, his tone calm and manners complete.

"No need for such formalities, Pill Master Shen!"

Ren Zhiyuan beamed, his voice loud and bright: "Ren has long admired Pill Master’s reputation, only lamenting mundane affairs have prevented me from visiting earlier. Seeing you today, you truly are a dragon among men, extraordinary in temperament!"

With no shortage of flattering words, he showered them for free.

Shen Xuan chuckled calmly, indifferent to praise or insult: "Clan Leader Ren overpraises, Shen dares not accept such accolades. May I ask, what advice does Clan Leader have today?"

"Dare not offer advice."

Ren Zhiyuan’s smile remained, as he moved to the main topic.

"It is heard Pill Master Shen possesses unparalleled mastery in Alchemy Dao, especially in refining the Golden Transformation Pill. Coincidentally, my Ren Family has accumulated some top-quality herbs, I wonder if we could be fortunate enough to commission the Pill Master to refine them? As for remuneration, rest assured, my Ren Family conducts affairs always ensuring friends do not suffer losses."

Shen Xuan appeared apologetic: "I am honored by Clan Leader Ren’s regard. However, I previously agreed with Clan Leader Zhang Shixiu, all alchemy commissions are interfaced and scheduled through him. Currently, a considerable number of orders have accumulated, including significant orders from the Commerce Alliance."

"Should Clan Leader Ren wish to commission, it’s certainly possible. Just need to discuss with Clan Leader Zhang, the schedule for refining will, however, be slightly delayed."

"No problem, no problem!"

Ren Zhiyuan’s smile persisted, as if completely unconcerned.

"As long as Pill Master Shen nods in agreement it is fine. Regarding Zhang Shixiu, the Elder will talk to him, making sure not to inconvenience Pill Master Shen."

"If that is the case, we shall follow Clan Leader Ren’s intention."

Shen Xuan said no more, bowing: "Shen still needs to prepare for alchemy matters, please excuse my departure."

"Please, Pill Master Shen. When you have free time, be sure to visit the manor for a discussion!" Ren Zhiyuan warmly sent him off.

What’s the Ren Family really planning, he couldn’t be bothered to worry.

After all, he only handles alchemy, not external affairs.

For all external negotiations, Zhang Shixiu is there to deal with and maneuver.

Behind him came Ren Zhiyuan’s Spiritual Communication: "Should Pill Master Shen ever feel bored, you may visit my Dragon Mountain for a stroll. This Elder will make arrangements properly, ensuring you return thoroughly delighted..."

Shen Xuan did not respond.

He turned into a blue rainbow, returned to Surging Sword Island, his figure disappearing into the swirling mist and array radiance.

Regarding Ren Zhiyuan’s probing, Shen Xuan didn’t take it to heart.

To see him once was already giving ample face to their ancestor.

Three days later, within the alchemy room, the Earth Fire rose, Shen Xuan opened the furnace as scheduled.

The Commerce Alliance’s provided herbs were indeed of outstanding quality.

This batch of Golden Transformation Pill refining yielded still one furnace of two pills, with quality evidently superior to before.

One pill had thirteen Pill Patterns, another had nine Pill Patterns.

The two pills’ fragrance was even purer.

As usual, Shen Xuan put the top-grade Golden Transformation Pill into his pouch.

The good-quality Golden Transformation Pill was placed into another medicine bottle and handed to the Commerce Alliance.

Zhang Zehua and Zhang Zezhong respectfully received the medicine bottle, cautiously preserving it, returning to their family to report and settle accounts.

Shen Xuan, finished cleaning the alchemy room, was about to hang the closed-door cultivation plaque.

At this moment, the boundless mist of Surging Sword Island gently surged as if disturbed by a light breeze.

A slender and delicate figure silently appeared outside the cave mansion, having pierced through the array restriction.

"Huh, why did she come?"

Shen Xuan scanned with his Divine Sense, clouds of suspicion arose.
