Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 879 541: Emperor Scripture

And so, several more days had passed, and with the approaching Tianyu Convention, Tianyu Ancient City became increasingly lively.

As a symbol of status and face, Gourmet Immortal Abode was bustling with visitors, with many people from the Sacred Places ascending to this splendid abode daily, indulging in the utmost luxury and discussing the world's affairs.

"That is the son of Song State!"

"A titled lord from the ancient nations of Southern State, the Imperial Dynasty, also refuses to be left out, doesn't he?"

"And there is a lady from the Ying Clan by his side; could it be that the two families intend to form a good relationship?"

"That is a princess from the Ying Clan, always skilled in mingling and with extensive connections, so this is hardly surprising."

"Even the Imperial Dynasty and ancient clans, the gateways of the Immortal Gods, find it hard to stand alone in this Central State and must seek allies to rely on."

"The Tianyu Convention has not even started, and the city is already this bustling; wouldn't it be even more of a battleground there?"

In the hall, as always, whispers and rumors never ceased, and the scheming continued unabated.

In a private room, Xu Yang sat alone, no longer paying attention to these disturbances.

Until there was a light knock at the door, a maid entered, presenting an invitation: "Senior Li, Taoist Yun Li invites you to join him at the Emerald Screen Pavilion."

"Hmm!"

Xu Yang took the invitation and immediately stood up, following the maid to another private room.

Upon opening the door and stepping inside, the space shifted dramatically, and he found himself in a serene bamboo forest, with pavilions and small buildings, where a group of people were enjoying wine and merry conversation, brimming with laughter and joy.

He saw among them an elder with the demeanor of a Taoist sage, a middle-aged man of hidden depth, an enchanting beauty like no other, a young nobleman of extraordinary presence, and several cultivators of ancient clans with varying appearances.

As soon as Xu Yang arrived, an old man immediately stood up and hurried forward to greet him: "Taoist friend's visit truly honors us, please, come in, come in!"

After saying this, he led Xu Yang into the pavilion and introduced him to the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Taoist Friend Liuxian, whose Alchemy Skills are divine and without equal to those of a Grandmaster."

"It's Taoist Friend Liuxian!"

"I've long heard of your great reputation!"

"Under a great reputation, there indeed lies a true ability."

"Look at you, Yun Li the old Taoist, you actually know such a grand master of alchemy."

The crowd seemed prepared, ribbing each other as they all respectfully greeted Xu Yang.

Xu Yang returned their greetings one by one and took his seat among them.

Yun Li, the Loose Cultivator, was a well-known figure among the cultivators of Tianyu Ancient City.

Although a Loose Cultivator, he was not of suspect lineage but of an orthodox heritage and had obtained the result of the Tribulation Realm.

After all, in the land of Divine Land, where opportunity abounds and connections are vast, even Loose Cultivators have the chance to achieve the Tao, unlike in the hard and bitter Northern Domain.

As a Loose Cultivator dwelling in Tianyu Ancient City, Yun Li maintained wide connections and frequently held small gatherings, connecting cultivators of the Tribulation Realm to exchange what they lacked, earning himself quite the reputation, a true "middleman" among the old Taoists.

These past few days, Xu Yang had been generously spending Immortal Jade in Tianyu City and had displayed his cultivation in the Tribulation Realm and his mastery in alchemy, naturally catching the eye of Yun Li, earning him an invitation to this gathering.

Though it was called a small gathering, it was scarcely different from a big one, as all attendees were either cultivators of the Tribulation Realm or children from great families, each with considerable backing.

The attendees settled into their seats, lively and cheerful, when a secretive piece of news was brought up.

"I hear that at the very end of the exploration of the Bell Mountain Relics, an Immortal Mansion of the Primordial Age unexpectedly appeared before the world, suspected to be left behind by an Ancient Immortal."

"All the great Sacred Places are mad for it, with even True Immortals taking action and using Heavy Weapons to attack, but they are blocked by the Immortal Mansion's formations, unable to break through for the time being."

"Even so, around the Immortal Mansion, there are numerous Immortal Treasures buried and Immortal Elixirs growing!"

"The great Sacred Places have gained immensely, and Tianyu Ancient City has also taken the opportunity to hold the Tianyu Convention, allowing for an exchange of needs, cultivation of life, and consolidation of strength. Afterward, they plan to attack Bell Mountain again, determined to seize the Immortal Mansion Treasures..."

As they exchanged words and unveiled the secrets of Bell Mountain, Yun Li the Taoist played the role of social mediator: "Because of this Immortal Mansion, the upcoming Tianyu Convention will see banned items going at sky-high prices, so it's best that my fellow Taoists come prepared."

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Xu Yang, then continued as a host to lead the topic: "Well then, enough talk; there aren't many rules at my small gathering—it's meant for exchange. Elixirs and Talismans, Magical Treasures and Formation Instruments, Supernatural Secret Techniques—all can be traded. I wonder which Taoist friend would like to start?"

Xu Yang smiled and promptly responded: "Then allow me the honor of making the first presentation!"

With a sweep of his sleeve and a flash of Sprit Light, three jade vials appeared before everyone.

"These are the Grass Return Elixirs, combining the essence of heaven and earth, the splendor of sun and moon, the quintessence of myriad grasses and flowers, refined in an Alchemy Cauldron Furnace, ranking as Eighth Order. They can aid mana, advance cultivation, and also heal the wounds of the Tao. I wish to exchange them for an Emperor Scripture Manual of the same tier or a Ninth Order Immortal Elixir!"

"Grass Return Elixirs?"

Gazing at the floating jade vials and feeling the Spiritual Mechanism emanating from them, everyone exchanged looks, each showing a degree of astonishment.

An Eighth Order Immortal Elixir, Eighth Order Immortal Master—such figures were not commonly seen even in Central State, each a representative of a great family, a renowned existence across the world.

Yet the one before them...

Was unknown and completely unfamiliar!

One couldn't help but speculate wildly.

But everyone present was no ordinary individual; they soon suppressed their surprise and focused on the jade vials floating in the air.

"An Eighth Order Immortal Elixir is indeed extraordinary."

"But to ask for an Emperor Scripture Manual, a Ninth Order Immortal Elixir..."

"The Emperor Scripture is definitely out of the question, but as for the Immortal Elixir, well..."

After a quick exchange of glances, the crowd reached a consensus, and a young lady spoke up.

"I have an Immortal Elixir here, although it is somewhat damaged, it still ranks within the Ninth Order. I wonder if it might satisfy the senior?"

As she spoke, she presented a jade box.

However, Xu Yang didn't even glance at it: "My elixir is only exchanged for pristine Immortal Elixirs; I do not consider damaged ones."

"..."

"..."

"..."

With that statement, the expressions of everyone shifted subtly, and the young lady looked a bit displeased, but she quickly subdued her emotions and, wearing a shallow smile, took back the jade box: "I see, it was presumptuous of me, please forgive my rudeness, senior."
