Chapter 1155: Holy Maiden Bai Hang Returns, the Trade

Temporarily stabilized the Wild Dragon Snake, the internal elixir tribulation, but it's not that simple.

The commotion it caused is definitely not simple, especially since the Wild Dragon Snake is a monster with a non‑simple bloodline, merging many monster bloodlines; among them, the Azure Dragon Bloodline is the highest, awakening its own bloodline—though not a True Dragon Bloodline, it is almost the same.

Once the tribulation succeeds, its bloodline will rapidly rise, its strength will increase further, and the path to Demon King is near at hand.

In the future, it is very likely to improve further; by then, it won't be the monsters of the Mangshan Demon Palace noticing him—the Mu Long Clan will surely notice his presence, possibly leading them to find Chen Chuyang's whereabouts.

In short, Chen Chuyang does not want Longshe Shan exposed; at the very least, he cannot let the Mu Long Clan notice his presence—he can stay hidden as long as possible, and for now this is best, allowing him to develop steadily and grow in silence.

Ideally, for the next few decades no one will disturb him, letting him pass through this period quickly; after that, he need not worry about the Mu Long Clan or those Strong Ones, at least he will have self‑defense ability.

Having cultivated to this point, he has refined many elixirs; Chen Chuyang prepares to return, continuing to stay in Tianwai with nothing else to do. This cultivation filled his body with heavenly and earthly spiritual qi, transforming it into his Primordial True Qi, leaving Chen Chuyang physically and mentally at ease.

Upon leaving seclusion, Chen Chuyang prepared to inform his clone Qinglong Daoren of his intention to return, when he suddenly sensed something and looked toward the outside of the formation.

A figure appeared—not Huang Yan, but the Holy Maiden Bai Hang's silhouette, sneaking closer yet unable to enter the formation; Chen Chuyang frowned, gazing at the Holy Maiden Bai Hang's silhouette, knowing this woman had finally come.

The trade may be about to begin.

He had thought the Holy Maiden Bai Hang wouldn't come, but unexpectedly the timing was just right; having never seen Bai Hang before, he met her in person for the first time, knowing her appearance from Qinglong Daoren's memories—this is their first meeting.

Qinglong Daoren appeared beside him and asked, "Do you want to meet this woman? She came this time to trade elixirs, and her aims are not small."

Chen Chuyang shook his head: "Forget it, better not to see her; you deal with her and see what good stuff she brought this time."

Since the Holy Maiden Bai Hang chose to come, she surely brought many good things; as a Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men, she certainly has plenty in her hands. Chen Chuyang feels some anticipation, but he does not want to show himself or have any dealings with Bai Hang, leaving it to his clone.

This is exactly what the clone should do; he himself will not act or appear.

Qinglong Daoren nodded: "All right, since you don't want to see her, you should hide."

"Good."

After Chen Chuyang hid, Qinglong Daoren let the Holy Maiden Bai Hang enter; the two met, and the Holy Maiden Bai Hang went straight to the point without idle talk.

"Qinglong Dao Friend, this is the gift I prepared for you; tell me if you're satisfied."

She threw a storage bag over, its space quite large, and the Holy Maiden Bai Hang flashed a hint of pain.

Qinglong Daoren opened it and saw that the storage bag had no spiritual sense presence, so it opened naturally.

The contents astonished Qinglong Daoren—there was a lot, more than what Huang Yan had brought in three times; he couldn't help but glance again at the Holy Maiden Bai Hang, indeed a wealthy person, and her move was not simple.

This exceeded Qinglong Daoren's expectations; he had thought she would casually take some resources to test the waters, but she turned out to be extraordinarily generous.

"Are you satisfied with the items? These are what my master told me to bring; on Tian Du Men's side, many disagree with trading with you, thinking you're a fraud, but only my master believes you and wants to trade."

The Holy Maiden Bai Hang was just short of saying those words, "Are you a fraud?"

After Qinglong Daoren scanned it, he knew exactly how much there was, and put it away into the storage bag.

"The stuff is not bad, I'm very satisfied." Qinglong Daoren said satisfactorily: "Holy Maiden Bai Hang, rest assured—I have no other merits, only one thing: I keep my word."

"Since it's a trade, naturally we follow what was previously agreed—tell me what you want, as much as possible."

The Holy Maiden Bai Hang's face lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you have Seventh Grade Elixir?"

Qinglong Daoren narrowed his eyes, staring at the Holy Maiden Bai Hang; she panicked inside and gritted her teeth: "If there's no Seventh Grade Elixir, Sixth Grade Elixir will do, and if really impossible, Fifth Grade Elixir is fine—the elixirs you gave me before were quite good."

Failing to get it this time does not mean there will never be any.

Inside, she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

This time she came with great sincerity, having dodged countless dangers along the way, all while under the sect's watch.

If she fails, she will truly lose face.

Qinglong Daoren showed a smile and said, "Seventh Grade Elixir is naturally available, however."

The Holy Maiden Bai Hang's face lit up, and she eagerly asked, "However what?"

"The price is a bit high, you know—Seventh Grade Elixir differs from Sixth and Fifth Grade Elixirs; refining is difficult, and the required materials are precious, so successfully refined Seventh Grade Elixir naturally cannot be measured by Fifth or Sixth Grade Elixirs." Qinglong Daoren explained.

The Holy Maiden Bai Hang's smile deepened: "I naturally know this—Seventh Grade Elixir is pricier, which is normal, and I can accept it."

"Qinglong Dao Friend, as long as you can provide Seventh Grade Elixir, I don't need to say more—whatever you need, I can try to find it for you."

Prescriptions, or various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

She can also produce some spiritual medicines aged over a thousand years.

Sixth‑ and Seventh‑Grade spiritual medicines are trivial; even higher‑grade spiritual medicines she can find.

In fact, many Sixth‑ and Seventh‑Grade spiritual medicines are measured by age: a hundred years corresponds to one grade, and beyond a thousand years they become very precious spiritual medicines, which are extremely rare, though not nonexistent.

Above a thousand years, each additional thousand years multiplies the price severalfold.

At ten‑thousand‑year spiritual medicines, they are no ordinary spiritual medicine but a true immortal elixir.

Such grade of spiritual medicine is lacking in Tian Du Men, and other sects also lack it.

In all of Tianwai, only a few such things can be named.

"Rest assured, the price is acceptable to you—I won't ask for ten‑thousand‑year spiritual medicine; if there is a thousand‑year spiritual medicine, I can also accept it."

Saying this, Qinglong Daoren gave him two jade bottles: "These are two Seventh Grade Elixirs—Myriad Medicine Dragon Blood Pill and Azure Dragon Tai Sui Pill, upgraded versions of the Ninth Grade Dragon Blood Pill and Tai Sui Pill you previously took, with terrifying efficacy."

"Also these Sixth Grade Elixirs and Fifth Grade Elixirs, exchanged according to the resources you provided."

All at once, he gave them to her; since it's a trade, naturally it must be honored.

What was said before, that's how we'll … do.

Qinglong Daoren would not do something disgraceful, nor would he say he'd swallow her resources—that would be banditry, which he despises.

Of course, if it's an enemy, he naturally doesn't mind doing that.
