The Path to Immortality

In other words, the Dali Dynasty still has it in its hands. Or, at least there is a way to get it...

Fang Ping heard the underlying meaning of what the other party said.

After weighing it for a while, Fang Ping said: "What if I take a step back and don't ask for the main material of the Golden Elixir, but only the clues for the main material of the Golden Elixir?"

He said calmly: "For the previous commission, you must have seen the level of the Foundation Establishment Pills that I have refined. An alchemist who can stably refine the Foundation Establishment Pills with a success rate of no less than 50% must be the Third Princess. You should understand what this means.”

With the alchemy in hand, there are many forces willing to cooperate with Fang Ping.

He is really not inferior to the Dali royal family.

The Third Princess was obviously aware of this, and after a slight hesitation, she finally relaxed: "If Master Liu's words are true, I can provide fellow Taoist with a clue to the main material of the Gold Formation Pill... The only question is whether it can be obtained. That depends on the fellow Taoist’s strength and luck.”

Fang Ping was not satisfied with her vague statement and shook his head: "It's not like I haven't gotten clues about the main material of Jin Jie Dan before. For example, among the Ten Kingdoms of Tianshui, those Nascent Soul Immortals have a certain degree of confidence. If you enter any dangerous place, you may find the main material of the Golden Pill. If the clues that the Third Princess wants to tell you are the same, then it’s okay not to do this deal.”

The third princess said openly: "I have always treated people with sincerity, so naturally I will not deceive fellow Taoists with such meaningless information. To be honest, our Dali royal family has clues about the main material of the gold-forming elixir. There is indeed a lot of danger, but the Golden Core cultivator is qualified to enter the exploration. If the Foundation Establishment cultivator is better prepared and acts more cautiously, there is still a good chance that he will be able to escape safely."

If so...

Fang Ping showed a look of emotion and said, "Can the Third Princess explain it more clearly? At least tell me what the main material of the golden elixir is, right?"

Now that a decision has been made, Shi Yuan is not afraid to reveal some basic information.

She said bluntly: "As far as I know, there is a chance to obtain the Yin-Yang Fruit in that place. I can even tell Master Liu the approximate location, which is in this Tianshui Lake!"

Yin Yang fruit?

Fang Ping was overjoyed, as long as it wasn't the Five Yun Lotus he already owned.

As for Tianshui Lake...

It's almost as good as saying it or not saying it.

You know, there are ten kingdoms of Tianshui around Tianshui Lake.

The Dali Dynasty, which had dozens of Jindan sects and two major Nascent Soul sects, was only one of the Ten Kingdoms of Tianshui. It can be seen from this that the scope of Tianshui Lake is vast.

That is a territory that far exceeds the entire Yunzhou!

However, Fang Ping could also understand that it was certainly impossible for the other party to directly inform him of the accurate clues.

After making a decision in his heart, Fang Ping made his own conditions: "Let's do this. Starting from this year, I can refine ten furnaces of Foundation Building Pills for you every year for free, ensuring that the success rate is no less than 50%. Each furnace will The number of Cheng Dan will be no less than three, and we will cooperate for ten years in exchange for clues about the main material of the Gold Formation Dan mentioned by the princess. Of course, you will provide the material for the Foundation Establishment Dan."

Shi Yuan shook his head and said without thinking: "Ten years is too short, at least thirty years!"

Fang Ping was amused by her condition: "Didn't Liu make it clear enough? As long as there are clues about the main material of the Golden Elixir, I don't need any other resources or techniques. In this way, I will refine one hundred furnaces for free in ten years. Foundation Establishment Pill, isn’t this condition enough to show your sincerity?”

Shi Yuan looked a little embarrassed, and after a while, he whispered: "The royal family of the Dali Dynasty does not have only one alchemist, Taoist friend, and does not need Taoist friend to refine so many every year..."

ah?

Fang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the conditions he had given were too good. The Dali royal family has limited capabilities, and they can't come up with so many foundation-building pill materials!

But if you think about it carefully, it seems right. There are only three golden elixirs in the Dali royal family. At least among high-level monks, they are on the same level as the Luoyang Sect.

Refining one hundred furnaces of foundation-building pills in ten years is already an astonishing number.

If he was the only alchemist, he might be able to make it work. But it was obviously impossible for the Dali royal family to place all the tasks of refining the foundation-building pills on him alone.

"If you can't come up with enough materials, that's your problem and it has nothing to do with me."

Fang Ping relaxed and leaned back on the seat with a very leisurely attitude.

Shi Yuan gritted his silver teeth and said: "Let's do this. Fellow Taoist help me refine the Five Furnaces of Foundation Building Pills and the Five Furnaces of True Yuan Pills for the Royal Family of Dali every year for free for twenty years. How about this? This is already what I can do. The ultimate compromise.”

After all, this is a matter of mutual benefit.

Fang Ping also didn't want to push too hard and miss the clues about the main material of this golden elixir.

Of course, the most important thing is that with Yuanding in hand, his success rate in making alchemy is equal to 100%. No matter how many foundation-building pills he refined for the Dali royal family, he was the one who made the most money.

After pretending to think for a moment, Fang Ping reluctantly nodded and said, "That's fine, just follow what the Third Princess said."

Seeing that Fang Ping finally agreed to cooperate, Shi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly: "It is really the good fortune of this palace and Xianwu Pavilion to be able to reach cooperation with fellow Taoist."

Next, the two discussed some details, and after confirming that there were no problems, they finalized the cooperation contract.

When it came time to leave the divine soul aura, although Fang Ping had no intention of deceiving the other party, to be on the safe side, he secretly used the Hidden Spirit Technique to forge a trace of the divine soul aura and keep it within the contract.

With his current attainments in spiritual consciousness, a few foundation-building monks could not detect any abnormalities at all.

The cooperation was officially reached, and Shi Yuan readily fulfilled his promise.

The mana transmitted the message, saying: "Since you are one of us, I will tell you the clues of the main material of the golden elixir. But this is a long story, involving an old event thousands of years ago."

She paused for a moment and asked: "I wonder if Master Liu has ever heard that there was a big island called [Tiancan Island] on Tianshui Lake?"

Fang Ping shook his head and said: "Apart from practicing and refining elixirs, I have almost no free time and rarely pay attention to these old events."

Shi Yuan was not surprised by this statement.

From the impression Fang Ping gave her, he was indeed the kind of hard-working monk who focused on practice and alchemy.

He immediately said: "Tiancan Island is located in Tianshui Lake. There is a third-level spiritual vein on the island. It is one of the most precious places for cultivation around Tianshui Lake."

"About thousands of years ago, Tiancan Island was seized by a Yuanying demon cultivator, who founded the Yuanying sect [Huangquan Sect]."

"This Huangquan Sect is good at controlling ghosts and refining corpses, and its methods are bloody and cruel. At the beginning, they knew how to restrain themselves and only dared to do evil secretly. But as time went by, Huangquan Sect became stronger and stronger, and its actions became more and more unscrupulous."

"Not only did they begin to actively capture cultivators, extract souls and refine them into refined corpses and ghosts that could be driven, they even began to target the real people of other Yuanying sects."

"Once a real person passed away, they would immediately rush over to snatch the corpse and make it into a Yuanying refined corpse..."
