Mr. Sikong is waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a show of respect, Bai Xiuying had come out to greet him and lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because her serious injuries had yet to heal, the usually heroic and valiant Sword Immortal now carried a rare air of delicate fragility, like a willow swaying in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Bai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye nodded, his tone polite and courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’From Bai Xiuying’s behavior, it seems Weiyuan Immortal City holds no ill will toward me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sikong Xin wants to see me... It’s likely about gratitude, a trade, cooperation, and... a recruitment offer?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is a good opportunity. I can use it to reach some cooperative agreements with Weiyuan Immortal City, acquire resources, and pave the way for my own cultivation path...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his thoughts turned, Su Ye considered the conversation to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, under Bai Xiuying’s guidance, Su Ye passed through several layers of restrictions and checkpoints, arriving at a white jade palace within Canghai Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, please enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiuying gestured for Su Ye to enter the palace, while she herself remained standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Su Ye had no suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Weiyuan Immortal City had malicious intentions, there would be no need for such formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping into the white jade palace, he came face-to-face with a Daoist in a greyish-white robe who wore a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HUM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw this Daoist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye blinked, his heart stirring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An endless sea of lightning, flashing with silver-white sparks, seemed to appear before his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s incredibly sharp spiritual perception felt an almost tangible pressure washing over him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sikong Xin...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So this is... a Core Formation Perfected Person at their peak?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So strong...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples of emotion spread through Su Ye’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By his estimation, even if [Soul-Chasing, Life-Taking] was off cooldown, if he were to fight Sikong Xin to the death with no retreat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...the most likely outcome would be his own death in exchange for injuring Sikong Xin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The barrier between major cultivation realms is like a celestial chasm for a cultivator...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And that’s true even for me!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this thought passed through his mind, Su Ye’s desire for a higher realm grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ending his train of thought, Su Ye feigned being overwhelmed by the man’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pausing for a few breaths, he finally walked forward and cupped his fist in a salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Su Ye. It is an honor to meet Perfected Person Tianqiong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Core Formation cultivators could call themselves ’Perfected Persons,’ and Sikong Xin’s Daoist title was Tianqiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su... there is no need for such ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin said with a smile, a flash of surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that with Su Ye’s level of cultivation, it would have taken him much longer to break free from the influence of his spiritual pressure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not bad... His Divine Sense is naturally powerful, and his temperament is firm...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Miss Bai is a good judge of character. This Mr. Su... is truly extraordinary.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin nodded to himself, his goodwill and appreciation for Su Ye growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, I must thank you for stepping in and saving my junior sister from peril... I have prepared a gift as thanks, and I must insist you accept it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade box slowly flew toward Su Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the jade box rested a pill that was crystalline, snow-white, and naturally adorned with several pill veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s eyes flickered as he recognized the type of pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was, unexpectedly, a Chongyuan Elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rank-breaking elixir used to help cultivators break through the bottleneck to Late-stage Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye recalled that during the whale hunt, Bai Xiuying had tried to win him over with this very same rare Spirit Pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the veins on the Chongyuan Elixir, Su Ye’s heart stirred with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pill veins formed naturally... Senior Tianqiong, could this be a High-quality Chongyuan Elixir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye knew that pills were graded as standard-quality and low-quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But above standard-quality were even better ’high-quality’ pills, whose defining feature was naturally formed pill veins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had better medicinal effects, less pill toxin, and a gentler medicinal strength...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, high-quality pills had no drawbacks, only advantages!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, refining a high-quality pill placed much stricter demands on an Alchemist’s skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was especially true for a second-rank, high-grade pill like the Chongyuan Elixir, which was already difficult to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for an Alchemy Master, successfully refining a High-quality Chongyuan Elixir was largely a matter of luck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin nodded with a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Weiyuan Immortal City, a High-quality Chongyuan Elixir was also a rare and foundational resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elixir had been sealed away for several decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Sikong Xin was putting it to use for the sole purpose of befriending Su Ye and forging a positive connection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Su Ye was very satisfied with this gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even though I’ve already entered Late-stage Foundation Establishment, this elixir is useless to me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’However, with this elixir in my possession, it will seem perfectly normal when I reveal my Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base soon!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In a way... it raises the perceived level of my normal strength?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Moreover, I can bestow this precious elixir on someone else and create a Late-stage Foundation Establishment subordinate...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts in mind, Su Ye’s expression filled with delight as he offered his solemn thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m glad you’re satisfied, Mr. Su...\" Sikong Xin chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this gift laying the groundwork,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent conversation between Su Ye and Sikong Xin proceeded in a very friendly atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Sikong Xin proposed a trade for the ’Gate-Opening’ Array Plate and its creation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also invited Su Ye to participate in clearing out the monsters from the ’Reverse World’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye had already anticipated all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he went with the flow and stated his own requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azure Sea Dragon Scale Wood and Profound Origin Spirit Iron?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Su Ye’s request to be for these two third-rank spiritual materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t know that in Su Ye’s eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Sea Dragon Scale Wood had a ninety-five percent compatibility rating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Origin Spirit Iron had an eighty-seven percent compatibility rating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two third-rank spiritual materials were, among all those Su Ye had discovered so far, the most suitable materials for his advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin did not press for details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every cultivator had their own secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming Su Ye’s request, he thought for a moment, pulled up the warehouse inventory, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have quite a bit of both these spiritual materials in the warehouse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Xin quoted a number that made Su Ye’s eyes light up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this number, combined with Su Ye’s previous accumulation, he now had enough materials to advance the Ghostly Flood Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, you are also aware of how precious third-rank spiritual materials are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Array Plate is good, but it’s not enough to trade for the entire stock...\" Sikong Xin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, the two negotiated for a while and reached an agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ’Gate-Opening’ Array Plate and its creation method would be exchanged for half of the stored spiritual materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining spiritual materials would be handled through a point-based system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Ye cleared out the ’Reverse World’, he would earn corresponding points for each monster he killed, which he could then use for the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye also looked over the detailed mechanics of the point exchange system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t some deceptive ’slash-the-price’ game designed to make a fool of him; it was a sincere offer!\u003C\u002Fp>",1360,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.313Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1943db1dbe060e08d743d60067abb923e875238c6b6174342d217d255a30aa1","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-171","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-169",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
