Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 52: Supreme Divine Fist, Queueing to Give Gifts

In reality, Lin Tianheng no longer had the intention to deal with Yang Ning. What "everything is low-grade except for refining tools" nonsense!

When I unleash my peerless divine ability, I don't even know how you'll respond!

But he couldn't refute this statement because nearly one-fifth of Extreme Eternal Sect consisted of refiners, and they were truly the cornerstone of the sect!

It's like certain professions that have low social status but high moral standing. Anyone who dares to insult them would be condemned by the masses.

And it's completely opposite to those professions with high social status but low moral standing, where everyone would criticize them before leaving.

If they continued to argue, he might win, but he would also offend all the refiners in Extreme Eternal Sect.

Refiners may not be a big deal, but every refiner has a maid friend, right? They all have a body refining companion, right!

The three of them also have a common master, right!

If they casually say something bad about their master, wouldn't they unnecessarily make enemies?

Who would be willing to do that? I still want to become the sect leader!

Lin Tianheng didn't know that Yang Ning's move was one of the four great divine fists from the modern world. This move could pierce through the river of time and directly darken the mermaid Snow White. In the Immortal Cultivation World, it couldn't be worse than the Supreme Dao Technique.

How will you respond to this?

Don't even talk about responding, you don't even dare to fight back!

After much contemplation, Lin Tianheng finally determined that he only had one choice!

"What a great dream!" Lin Tianheng showed a shocked, amazed, and moved expression as he earnestly looked at Yang Ning. "It seems that Extreme Eternal Sect's past bias towards refiners was indeed misguided. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have considered these things or thought about valuing this group. I will convey your words to the sect leader. Also, although you should focus on refining tools, you shouldn't neglect your cultivation. After all, only with stronger cultivation can you refine stronger tools and contribute better to the growth of Extreme Eternal!"

Saying that, he took out a jade bottle from his pocket and said, "This is a bottle of Tiger Soul Pill. Consider it my support! I hope you can break through to the Qi Refining stage soon and join the inner sect!"

"Thank you for your support, Lord Tianheng!" Yang Ning excitedly took the jade bottle. What a good person!

The Tiger Soul Pill is a Ninth Layer pill for the physical body. With an Eighth Layer physical body, one can graduate from Immortal Ascension Academy and enter the outer sect of Extreme Eternal Sect.

In other words, Tiger Soul Pills are scarce in the Ocean Cloud City market.

Scarce doesn't mean no one wants them. On the contrary, because a large number of Tiger Soul Pills flow into the outer sect of Extreme Eternal Sect, the value of Tiger Soul Pills in Ocean Cloud City is extremely high. Selling just one or two pills can provide three years' worth of cultivation resources!

"Keep it up!" Lin Tianheng nodded and then waved his hand, leaving the square with Wang Luo and Wang Yi.

"Amazing!" Ming Yunxiu gave Lin Tianheng a thumbs up, but it's unclear whether she was praising Yang Ning's ambition or Yang Ning's way of dealing with Lin Tianheng.

"Not at all!" Yang Ning humbly said but didn't thank Ming Yunxiu for her help.

Because logically speaking, he shouldn't know that Lin Tianheng was dealing with him.

"I'm just telling the truth. Lin Tianheng is really stingy. I've never seen anyone who can squeeze something valuable out of his hands. This Tiger Soul Pill is worth a lot!" Tiger Soul Pills may not be valuable to Qi Refining stage cultivators, but compared to what Lin Tianheng usually gives out, it's quite valuable!

Lin Yuanxi beside them forced a smile. Why is my brother so stingy? It couldn't be because of me, right?

"This is for you!" Ming Yuxiu also handed over a bottle of pills. "You may not be familiar with this type of pill. This is the Golden Cauldron Pill that I refined while cultivating the Purple Cloud Golden Cauldron Qi. It can condense Qi Refining blood. When you reach the peak of the Eighth Layer of the physical body, take one pill, and your blood and qi will continue to grow. If you feel you have extra strength, you can take another one! But don't take too much. Even if you're a body refining genius, three pills are the limit. You can sell the remaining two pills. They are quite valuable in the market!"

More than quite valuable, Tiger Soul Pills can be used by refiners, but Golden Cauldron Pills can only be condensed by inner sect disciples who cultivate the Purple Cloud Golden Cauldron Qi. Inner sect disciples wouldn't distribute these pills to others. It's not good to cultivate trusted subordinates, right?

This is truly priceless!

"Thank you, Young Master Ming!" Yang Ning sincerely thanked her.

Ming Yunxiu patted Yang Ning's shoulder. "Alright, let's go!"

Next up was Lin Yuanxi.

Yang Ning understood that the order of gift-giving was probably based on strength. In other words, Lin Yuanxi's strength was not weak either!

"Since everyone else is giving gifts, I can't not give one, even though I didn't understand what you wanted to do!" Lin Yuanxi smiled and said, "I'll give you a blessing, wishing you smooth cultivation, worry-free refining of artifacts, abundant invention inspiration, a body free from all ailments, and even your identity!!"

Her eyes shimmered as the young girl smiled, "In everything, there is always a glimmer of hope!"

"Huh?" Yang Ning was taken aback, but he saw that Lin Yuanxi's complexion visibly paled.

"Miss!" The maid Xiaohuan quickly supported Lin Yuanxi and then glared at Yang Ning with annoyance.

"Xiaohuan, it's fine. It's just a blessing!" Lin Yuanxi smiled and said to Yang Ning, "I hope to see you in the inner sect soon!"

After speaking, the two of them floated away like fairies. In mid-air, Xiaohuan turned her head and glared at Yang Ning.

"This girl is a bit stingy!" The bald man with beads looked at Lin Yuanxi's departing figure and pursed his lips. "I'm not from the Extreme Eternal Sect, so it's not appropriate for me to give you a gift. But you're a good person. When you arrive at the Earth Sieve Temple, report my name. My Dharma name is Jiemeng!"

"Meng?" Yang Ning asked.

"Meng!" The bald man laughed heartily. "You really misheard. It's 'meng' as in 'spring heart is sprouting'!"

"Huh?" Yang Ning was dumbfounded. "You, 'meng'?"

The bald man scratched his head. "My master gave it to me. He said I lacked a bit of softness. You can call me Jiemeng, or Big Mengzi. That's what everyone calls me, but I'm not used to that Dharma name myself!"

"Uh," Yang Ning said speechlessly. "Alright."

"Well, I watched the show today, and it was pretty good. I'm leaving!" Waving his hand, Jiemeng flew away on a golden lotus.

"It's finally my turn!" Li Yuan saw Jiemeng walk away and immediately approached. "Big brother!"

"No, no, no, I'm only 12!" Yang Ning quickly waved his hand.

"It's only because you're 12. Otherwise, I would call you teacher!" Li Yuan said, "You don't know how much your words just now have influenced me. It's like a sudden enlightenment! I no longer feel lost on my path. You don't know how much suffering I've endured before, even my cultivation was delayed. But it's all better now. I feel like I can break through when I go back!"

"Then I congratulate you!" Yang Ning said.

"It's nothing. Just breaking through a small realm!" Li Yuan waved his hand and took out a small chisel from his pocket. "I'm not as wealthy as them, so I'll give you something I made myself. This chisel is the highest-grade thing I can make. I used Treasure Pillar Cloud Gold, which is a material of the Treasure Weapon level. You can refine this chisel again in the future!"

"Treasure Weapon material?" Yang Ning was shocked. "I can't accept this! It's too valuable!"

It was more valuable than Gold Cauldron Pill and Tiger Soul Pill. Those were just pills for the Physical Body Realm, but Treasure Weapons could only be used by those at the Qi Refining Late Stage!

"This little bit of material can't even make a Treasure Weapon, but I'm willing to give it to you, my big brother!" Li Yuan laughed heartily. "Here, take it!"

"Uh, alright, I do need something like this!" Yang Ning said. "But let's forget about the 'big brother.' Can we call each other brothers?"

"Okay, let's call each other brothers!" Li Yuan took out a black jade plaque from his pocket and handed it over.

"Ah, I can't accept this!" Yang Ning quickly waved his hand.

"This isn't a treasure. It's an identity jade plaque!" Li Yuan said. "With this, you can enter the Extreme Eternal Sect and come to my Black Soul Peak. Actually, I wanted to bring you in directly, but as a big talent like you, I'm not qualified to accept you as my subordinate. But with this, you can come anytime. I'm usually refining artifacts on the mountain. We can exchange ideas then!"

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll accept it!" Yang Ning really wanted to know how this plaque was different from the one given by the Inner Sect of the Immortal Ascension Academy!

But the name Black Soul Peak...

"Oh, I'll remind you!" Li Yuan said. "Although Lin Tianheng isn't a great person, his words make sense. You should first improve your cultivation. With stronger cultivation, you can refine stronger artifacts!"

"I understand!" Yang Ning nodded.

"Well, you're a great talent, and I don't need to teach you. I'll leave now!" Li Yuan waved his hand and summoned a black, shiny disc that looked like an automatic floor sweeper. He stepped on it and left.

The remaining few people had followed Ming Yuxiu to join in the fun, but they didn't expect to have to give gifts after coming.

They didn't value Yang Ning, and his cultivation wasn't high, so they didn't need to give precious things. One person gave a Jade Bone Pill, another gave a Dragon Marrow Pill, and another gave a Treasure Essence Pill.

The first two were pills for the Physical Body Realm, and the Treasure Essence Pill was made by refining the essence of ordinary treasures. It could be used by those at the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Physical Body Realm.
