Wenfeng Mountain was only three thousand meters from Qinghong City. With a wave of his sleeve, Qi Yuan instantly brought everyone there. The mountain sat atop a massive spiritual vein that filled the air with abundant spiritual energy. Mortals could live here past one hundred twenty without illness.

Along the way, every cultivator bowed to Great Sun Flame Emperor.

"Greetings, Young Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Young Sect Master!"

Great Sun Flame Emperor was the grandson of Lord Wind and his only heir. His father had died seven hundred years ago in an accident. Not long after, the group reached the summit where Lord Wind did his secluded cultivation.

A tall man stepped out. "Junior Brother Feng Xie, Master is meeting a guest. Please wait."

Great Sun Flame Emperor was surprised. "A guest?"

"A Yin Spirit cloaked in black. I don't know who he is."

Great Sun Flame Emperor had no choice but to say to Qi Yuan, "Sorry, we'll have to wait for a while."

The tall man glanced at Iceberg Empress and Qi Yuan as well, a strange look crossing his face. Rogue Immortal was completely ignored.

Fifteen minutes later, a shout erupted from the summit. "Get out!"

Following that, a black-robed man descended in frustration. Before leaving, he said, "Feng Xie, persuade your grandfather. That woman can’t be allowed to keep the Mythic Secret Treasury all to herself!"

Great Sun Flame Emperor's expression darkened slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

At that moment, an elegant old man in white robes appeared. The hair on his forehead was half white and half black, giving him a rather peculiar look. "Honored guests who have come from afar, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner. I am Lord Wind."

"I am the Blood-Clothed Sword God. Well, you may also call me Qi Yuan," he replied.

Lord Wind waved his sleeve. "Please, come with me."

In an instant, the scene before them shifted. When it stabilized again, they found themselves inside a simple, refined cave abode.

Qi Yuan got straight to the point. "The four of us intend to establish the Yuan God Sharing Society. We need someone to manage it. Feng Xie recommended you, would you be willing?"

Feng Xie had already informed Lord Wind of this matter the night before.

Lord Wind nodded. "That poses no problem."

"Much appreciated, Senior. If the Yuan God Sharing Society encounters any issues, feel free to contact me at any time," Qi Yuan said respectfully. "These are the manuals I've gathered. They can be made public to serve as our resources. Among them are fourteen Heaven-tier manuals and three Profound-tier manuals, all untainted. They should be priced higher for exchange."

Naturally, untainted techniques would be the most sought after by sects. And with higher demand came higher pricing.

Lord Wind nodded, then hesitated. "Are the techniques truly tainted?"

Qi Yuan shrugged. "They are."

Great Sun Flame Emperor chimed in. "Grandfather, the post the Blood-Clothed Sword God made yesterday was deleted."

He recounted the entire situation to Lord Wind.

Lord Wind fell silent for a long time, his brow tightly furrowed. After a while, he finally said, "It seems this matter is even more complicated than we imagined."

His thoughts churned as he tapped into his cultivation method. Even he found no fault in it, so Yin Spirit cultivators everywhere would likely doubt Qi Yuan as well.

"When it concerns a Great Calamity, complexity is only natural," Qi Yuan replied.

"It will be difficult to convince others. The early stages of the Yuan God Sharing Society will likely be very hard to implement," Lord Wind said honestly.

"Then how do we convince people?" Qi Yuan muttered, but no solution came to mind.

The three exchanged looks, yet none had a better solution.

After a moment, Qi Yuan said, "Let's just proceed for now. We'll collect as many techniques as we can." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Agreed. What you’ve provided should be enough to attract some sects into exchanging techniques," Lord Wind said.

Even if the sharing society's slogan spread slowly, tangible benefits would still draw people in.

"Maybe we can make a huge profit once I release Divine Methods later," Qi Yuan said casually.

He was simply waiting for Shen Wushen to descend and hand them over.

However, his offhand remark left Lord Wind stunned. "Do you have Divine Methods?"

"I do, though one of them cannot be revealed. There may be new ones later, which should be fine to share. When the time comes, I'll place them in the sharing society. You're free to study them as you wish," Qi Yuan said generously.

He had no interest in managing the sharing society, he just wanted to be a hands-off boss. If Lord Wind handled everything, what did it matter if he got access to the techniques?

Lord Wind’s expression turned complicated as he fell quiet, then murmured, "People..."

He recalled the black-robed man who had visited him earlier that day. Using the Mythic Secret Treasury as leverage, that man had tried to drag Lord Wind into a scheme against the Phoenix Palace. The treasure had already stirred endless bloodshed across Phoenix Heaven. Yin Spirits especially coveted it, especially because it contained a top-grade Heaven-tier technique and some rare spirit herbs.

And now, hearing Qi Yuan casually speak of offering Divine Methods, Lord Wind's emotions were impossible to describe. After all, Heaven-tier techniques paled in comparison to legendary Divine Methods.

If Qi Yuan truly possessed Divine Methods, then the Yuan God Sharing Society would instantly become renowned across all regions. After all, Divine Methods were practically nonexistent in the world. Even if such a thing existed, Qi Yuan likely had the only one.
