The Lord of the Universe

Ch.41 - A Profitable Deal

“How is junior Xiang Shin? If there's a pill you don't want then you can trade it.”

“No-no, this is already very satisfying,” Xiang Shin put all the pills into his dimension ring, “thank you Senior.”

“Hahaha, there is no need to thank junior Xiang Shin, it is precisely we who should be grateful because the Elixir you gave has made all of my Sect Master Elders break through to the late stage Martial Lord level.”

“Good if that is the case,” Xiang Shin is actually quite surprised because Elixir level 8 was able to increase one stage of cultivation at Martial Lord level, “then what is the purpose of two seniors meeting me? There's no way you guys just want to hand the pills over directly to me right?”

“Junior Xiang Shin is right, we came directly to see you want to discuss about Elixir,” Xiao Yan said.

After knowing the benefits of Elixir before, Fu Ao tried to learn it but unfortunately it is impossible for him to practice it because he did not master the water element.

Fu Ao instantly ordered his people to search for a water element user of at least 100 people to be trained into the steward of Elixir, a new type of Alchemist.

During these few days, the God Pill Sect had only gained dozens of water element cultivators and all that was chosen were young cultivators who had just begun to deepen into the world of cultivators.

Huang Yu was assigned as the instructor or trainer of the Elixir concocter-to-be as he was the only water element user in the God Pill Sect was also the only one who could already concoct Elixir.

“What do seniors want to know?” Xiang Shin had actually expected this.

Fu Ao and Xiao Yan's expressions became solemn.

“Junior Xiang Shin, do you have Elixir level 9? Among the higher-ups of the God Pill Sect, only I have not consumed Elixir because I thought I would not be able to break through to the top of Martial Lord with Elixir level 8.”

“It looks like this old man is not blinded by greed,” Xiang Shin muttered.

He could argue so because if Fu Ao was a greedy person then he would definitely directly consume Elixir after knowing the benefits, he would not give to his subordinates first.

However Fu Ao was able to think clearly and chose not to consume the tier 8 Elixir as he was confident it would not be able to make him break through to the next level.

That was why Fu Ao was looking for Xiang Shin for wanting the tier 9 Elixir so that he could break through.

“I do have Elixir level 9.”

Xiang Shin's answer made Fu Ao and Xiao Yan's faces bright.

“Then..”.

“But!” Xiang Shin cut Fu Ao's words, “This tier 9 elixir of mine is very special, I can't give it to you even if I exchange one Elixir for 10 tier 9.” pills

Fu Ao was stunned for a moment before saying, “why junior Xiang Shin? I really need that Elixir, if you want something then just say it, I'll try to give you what you want.”

Fu Ao was now 700 years old, was the best tier 9 Alchemist who could refine a top grade tier 9 pill. He was the most senior and most respected Alchemist in the Chenwu Continent.

But with that achievement, he was now very old and Fu Ao realized soon he would die. Unless Fu Ao could break through to the next level then his lifespan could be longer.

That's why Fu Ao really wanted Elixir level 9.

Xiang Shin's reply again made Fu Ao and the others enthusiastic.

“But for now I can't make it, I have business to do and this is very urgent,” Xiang Shin wants to go destroy the Heaven Formation Sect first, he said, “you can prepare the herbal ingredients I need and I can make them for senior Fu Ao!..

But senior should know it all will not be free,” finally Xiang Shin showed a thin smile after 1 day just put on a flat face, “I want 10 pills level 9.”

“Junior Xiang Shin, I think it's too much. Level 9 pills are not roadside snacks that can be taken for granted,” Fu Ao sighed lightly, “how about 5 level pills 9.”

“Agreed,” Xiang Shin replied quickly.

Fu Ao was stunned then smiled wryly. He's been tricked by this little bastard.

“You are very unskilled at negotiating Sect Chief,” Huang Yu shook her head slowly.

Fu Ao could not argue, he realized he was wrong for taking the decision too quickly.

Xiang Shin's mood now felt a little better due to the huge profits. With 1 Tier 9 Elixir he could obtain 5 tier 9 pills, moreover he did not spend a single dime as the herbal ingredients were provided by the God Pill Sect.

“Then senior Fu Ao, senior Xiao Yan, I leave first because there is an important matter that I must immediately settle,” Xiang Shin stood up while cupping his hands, he said, “I'll be back after my business is done.”

“Alright, I actually also have to return to the sect because of some business,” Fu Ao and Xiao Yan cupped his hands.

“Let me escort you, little brother,” Huang Yu immediately stood by Xiang Shin's side then escorted the young man out.

***

Xiang Shin shot flying towards the Moon Empire. He was currently above a forest, looking down looking for something.

Xiang Shin stopped as his gaze caught on something he was looking for. He quickly descended, landing in front of the mouth of a cave.

“I must break through to the late stage Martial Lord level before coming to the God Formation Sect,” Xiang Shin walked into the cave.

Xiang Shin was intending to consume a tier 9 pill to break through.

All cultivators always consumed pills making their whole blood and flesh accustomed to the energy of pills. When they consumed Elixir, their new bodies felt the energy from Elixir making a strong impulse causing the effects of Elixir to be many times over.

While Xiang Shin himself had only consumed Elixir all along, it should have been if he had first consumed the pill, it would have had the same effect as a cultivator who had just sensed Elixir.

Xiang Shin wished for his estimate to be correct so that he could directly break through with just 1 tier 9 pill.

Xiang Shin made a magic circle in the mouth of the cave so that its existence could not be felt from the outside until no one could disturb it.

Xiang Shin looked for the most comfortable seat inside the cave, even though it was all just rocks. He sat down cross-legged and took out a small jade box containing a tier 9 pill.

“Alright, I will start,” Xiang Shin directly swallowed the tier 9 pill and started his cultivation.
