Chapter 1255: Chapter 1252: Taiyi Alliance

Initially, the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce delivered five Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Seeds, yielding two Spirit Fruits, with three plants used for Condensing Seed, yielding a total of eleven Spiritual Seeds.

There are still ten pure white Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, and upon careful inspection, it won’t be too long until they fully mature.

“Ten plants, we could keep six for Condensing Seed and harvest four Light Clusters, to see if we can open up a Turtle Crane Vital Pill Recipe Experience Package.”

“Once another batch is cultivated, we’ll be able to plant these rare Sixth Grade Lifespan Extending Spiritual Plants in bulk.”

He mused silently to himself, patiently waiting for the Sky Origin Fruits to ripen.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and he harvested four Sky Origin Fruits one after another, opening from the four Light Clusters two Seventh Grade Tortoise-Crane Yuan Pills and two Turtle Crane Vital Pill Recipe Experience Packages.

In the field of these rare Seventh Grade Lifespan Extending Spirit Pills, he had not yet crafted them himself, but he already possessed a level of proficiency that was near mastery.

The remaining six Sky Origin Fruit plants ultimately condensed twenty-two Spiritual Seeds, which after special treatment, would be ready for a new round of cultivation.

One day, as he was practicing Sleeve Universe Divine Power on a Ninth Grade Lotus Platform, an unexpected visitor arrived outside his Cave Abode.

“Lin Beihai of Qingwei Sword Peak brings a friend to visit.”

The shrill voice of the White Ape reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

With a single sweep of his hand, he stored the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform inside the Inch Book.

Lin Beihai, a mid-Nascent Soul stage Cultivator from Qingwei Sword Peak, proficient in Alchemy, had merely a casual acquaintance with him and had not met more than three times.

Although not knowing the purpose of this fellow sect member’s visit, Lu Xuan naturally needed to extend good hospitality as the man brought company to his door.

“Senior Lin, long time no see.”

Lu Xuan greeted with a smile as he went out to meet them.

Lin Beihai was a refined middle-aged Cultivator, and standing behind him was an old man who maintained a kind smile, exuding a benevolent and gentle aura that made him instantly likable.

“Junior Brother Lu, allow me to introduce you. This is Daoist Wen Wuchen, a Guest Elder of Taiyi Alliance who has been an acquaintance of mine for many years. He has long admired your reputation and has specifically requested me to introduce you to him.”

Lin Beihai said with a smile.

“Daoist Wen, this is Junior Brother Lu Xuan, the most renowned Spirit Plant Master of our Sword Sect.”

“Wen Wuchen is honored to meet Daoist Lu; I have long revered your great name, and today I am finally granted an audience.”

The old man said to Lu Xuan, his face full of an even greater smile, speaking flatteringly.

“Daoist Wen is too courteous. It is the Taiyi Alliance that genuinely enjoys fame across the Whole Sky Realm.”

Lu Xuan quickly responded.

Although he seldom left the Sword Sect, he still had a basic understanding of the common knowledge of the Cultivation World.

The Taiyi Alliance could be considered the most renowned Commerce Association in the Whole Sky Realm, far surpassing the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, to the extent that even the three major cities outside the Sword Sect had more than one of its shops, and their scale was more than a thousand times that of his little Grocery Store.

If one were to say the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce’s reach extends to many Realms, then the Taiyi Alliance has a presence in the vast majority of Realms, and they consistently rank at the top.

It’s safe to say, the Taiyi Alliance in the Cultivation World is a colossal existence similar to the Dongxuan Sword Sect.

Lu Xuan, with curiosity, invited both guests into a tranquil courtyard, serving top-quality Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew.

“I have long heard that Daoist Lu is exceptionally skilled in Cultivating Spiritual Plants and making Spirit Brew, transcendent and extraordinary. Today, seeing is indeed believing.”

“Such quality Spirit Fruit and Spirit Brew, Wen here rarely gets to enjoy them on normal days.”

The old man exclaimed while tasting things like the Thunder Evil Spirit Lotus seeds and other delicacies.

“Merely minor skills, they’re not fit for the grand stage.”

Lu Xuan humbly spoke.

“Has it been heard that Friend Lu had previously introduced a Sixth Grade Spirit Brew called Green Lotus Wine?”

“Indeed, I was fortunate enough to come across the brew recipe and, after much research and experimentation, I was finally able to succeed in its production.”

“However, the difficulty of brewing Green Lotus Wine is incredibly high, not to mention it requires an abundance of ingredients, so only a very small quantity was produced.”

Lu Xuan said carefully. He still had some Green Lotus Wine in his possession, but he reserved it for himself and close friends. Offering them True Sword Elixir and Ape Demon Wine was already quite generous.

“Friend Lu is too modest. If you need to source materials for brewing, you can always turn to our Taiyi Alliance. Our entire alliance would welcome you as a guest.”

Wen Wuchen implied something with his words.

“Fellow Daoist Wen means to suggest…”

Lu Xuan paused momentarily.

“Friend Lu has a shop in Sword Abyss City, doesn’t he? It sells Essence Spirit Pills, a variety of Fifth Grade Sword Talismans, and numerous types of Spirit Brews. Though the scale is average, those signature treasures are extremely attractive in the Cultivation World.”

“Our alliance has assessed it multiple times and believe the shop has great potential, hence we’d like to establish a cooperation with Friend Lu.”

Wen Wuchen’s demeanor was very accommodating, and he spoke with a smile.

“Oh? What kind of cooperation?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“The best approach would be for the Taiyi Alliance to invest in your shop, providing channels, resources, and a platform for your Spirit Brews and Spirit Pills to become celebrated across the Whole Sky Realm.”

“You could earn a considerable profit, and the specific details are open for further discussion.”

“You want to invest in my Grocery Store?”

Lu Xuan chuckled softly.

“It’s an honor that the Taiyi Alliance holds Lu Mou in such high regard; however, my main focus lies in Cultivating Spiritual Plants and Cultivation. Alchemy and Spirit Brewing come secondary. My personal production is limited and unable to provide a continuous and stable supply to the Taiyi Alliance.”

“Most importantly, has Fellow Daoist Wen heard of my relationship with the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce?”

“I’ve heard a bit. It’s said that Friend Lu has been a Commerce Association Guest Elder for over a hundred years and has a deep relationship with the Artifact Spirit.”

“However, people aspire to climb higher. Friend Lu is from the Sword Sect and is in the Mid Nascent Soul Stage. The contributions you’ve made to the Chamber are already substantial, and you could completely consider a new partner for cooperation.”

The smile on Wen Wuchen’s face vanished, his expression gradually turning serious.

“Moreover, the founder of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce is merely a High Rank Magical Treasure Instrument Spirit, like a rootless duckweed, unable to withstand any turmoil.”

“The instrument spirit an Elder of the store, has mysterious origins and formidable strength, and protecting a commerce association is not an issue.”

Lu Xuan replied with unwavering composure.

After his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, he had encountered the Pagoda Instrument Spirit and understood the profound and enigmatic strength of the other party. He specialized in the art of space and thus had no concerns about any potential problems with the Artifact Spirit.

As for what Wen Wuchen suggested, Lu Xuan had no interest in it.

With the existence of the Sword Sect and Commerce Association, his needs for Spiritual Seeds and treasures were well met. Even with a collaboration with the Taiyi Alliance, it would be nothing more than icing on the cake.

Moreover, he had become a Commerce Association Guest Elder back when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm and had grown to his current stage, reaping countless Spiritual Seeds and treasures from the Commerce Association over time. Even the immensely important Personal Spatial he possessed was crafted from an Incomplete Cave Heaven gifted to him by the Instrument Spirit.

Being one to remember old loyalties, he naturally couldn’t partake in such an ungrateful act.

At his current level, he wasn’t lacking in channels to acquire High-grade Spirit Seeds. Simply offering any of the treasures he carried would draw countless Nascent Soul True Monarchs seeking to exchange seeds.

Thus, maintaining a comparatively relaxed and enjoyable cooperation with the Commerce Association seemed preferable. Lu Xuan thought about declining Wen Wuchen’s suggestion.
