Chapter 979: Nuwa's Shock

Yin Qi smiled slightly and stated his price directly: "One Eight-Turn Golden Pill, one Daluo-level Warship, one hundred Seven-Turn Golden Pills, one hundred Golden Immortal-level Warships, plus ten thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves. How about it?"

"Eight-Turn Golden Pill!"

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren both narrowed their eyes, gazing at Yin Qi with burning intensity.

They were shocked in their hearts.

An Eight-Turn Golden Pill.

This was Laozi's signature, yet even Laozi did not know if he had successfully refined one, and Yin Qi actually had one!

It had to be said, Yin Qi's offer was very attractive.

Jieyin Daoren's expression returned to normal, and he said in surprise: "The Great King is truly unfathomable, to be able to even refine an Eight-Turn Golden Pill. However, this is too little. Everything else remains the same, but increase the Eight-Turn Golden Pills and Daluo-level Warships to ten. Additionally, we also require a set of technical data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades at the Golden Immortal Realm."

Zhunti Daoren also nodded in agreement.

Yin Qi was almost angered into laughter, shook his head, and said: "Two Saints, do you know how difficult it is to refine an Eight-Turn Golden Pill? It requires ten types of Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots as the main ingredients, three hundred types of Acquired Spiritual Roots as auxiliary ingredients, and the melting of Three-Light Divine Water and Chaos Qi to succeed.

I went through untold hardships and spent thirty thousand years gathering the materials, then used another thousand years to refine the pill.

A single furnace only yields three pills, and you want ten!"

Embarrassment flashed in the eyes of Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren, as they knew they had made an exorbitant demand.

Zhunti Daoren smiled and said: "Then let it be three Eight-Turn Golden Pills and ten Daluo-level Warships. Surely the Great King will not refuse again; this is already very cheap."

Yin Qi felt some admiration for Zhunti Daoren's shamelessness and shook his head: "Two Saints, I came with sincerity, and I ask that you also bring out your sincerity. Eight-Turn Golden Pill, only one. Daluo-level Warship, also only one.

However, I can increase the Seven-Turn Golden Pills and Golden Immortal-level Warships to one hundred and fifty.

I will also add ten Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures."

He had many Eight-Turn Golden Pills and Daluo-level Warships, but he could not let the opening slip, lest the two mistakenly believe he possessed a vast quantity of them.

In reality, these two items were worth even more than Superior Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Zhunti Daoren shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, that is too little..."

After half a day.

After some intense bargaining, Yin Qi and Zhunti Daoren finally reached an agreement;

In addition to paying out one Eight-Turn Golden Pill and two Daluo-level Warships, there were two hundred each of Seven-Turn Golden Pills and Golden Immortal-level Warships, ten Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures, one hundred Medium-grade Post-celestial Spiritual Treasures, and twenty thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty also needed to support Buddhism's preaching, allowing Buddhism temples to invite local officials to attend and observe during Water and Land Dharma Assemblies.

As for Buddhism, they would only retain a territory with a radius of one billion li, and would cooperate in handing over other territories to the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

After the agreement was reached, Yin Qi readily provided the various supplies.

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were naturally all smiles, especially regarding the last clause, allowing the invitation of local officials to observe the Water and Land Dharma Assemblies; this was equivalent to having an official government endorsement, a right no other sect possessed.

Furthermore, one Eight-Turn Golden Pill and two Daluo-level Warships were equivalent to Buddhism gaining three Great Luo Golden Immortals out of thin air.

Of course, Yin Qi was also happy.

Paying this small price to buy one percent of the Primordial Continent's territory.

A massive profit.

Both sides were overjoyed.

At the end, Jieyin Daoren said: "Great King, we have sold our territory to your Great Shang, but what about the Ren Sect, Chan Sect, Sea of Blood, and Demon Master Palace next? Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun will not be as easy to talk to as we are."

Yin Qi said indifferently: "I will not hide it from the two Saints; I will go to the Sea of Blood next, and should be able to take over the territory of the Sea of Blood. As for the Demon Master Palace, the Ren Sect, and the Chan Sect, I will naturally lead troops to attack them directly."

"Oh!"

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren both narrowed their eyes, having figured out the key to it all.

Yin Qi's acquisition of the territories of Buddhism and the Sea of Blood was not only to accelerate the process of unification but also to appease them and Minghe Laozu, so as to avoid them intervening when he attacked one of the other parties.

Jieyin Daoren sighed: "The Great King has excellent methods." In fact, as Yin Qi had expected, since the territories had been sold, they would naturally not intervene.

And with only Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Kunpeng Laozu joining forces, they could not stop the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty; after all, Yin Qi was not alone, as he had Nuwa and the Heavenly Court as allies.

…………

Leaving Lingshan, Yin Qi went to the Sea of Blood again.

In the Xiuluo Shenggong deep within the Sea of Blood, he met Minghe Laozu.

Originally, Minghe Laozu did not intend to sell his territory, but Yin Qi's offer was too high, and he also vaguely threatened that if he did not sell, he would lead troops to attack, so he could only nod in agreement.

In Honghuang, he had always been a loner.

If Yin Qi really sent troops to attack, he truly could not stop it, and no one would help him.

The territory he occupied was only over three hundred trillion li, and Yin Qi gave one Daluo-level Warship and one hundred each of Seven-Turn Golden Pills and Golden Immortal-level Warships, which was already very sincere.

Not only that, he also reached an agreement with Yin Qi to join forces in the Underworld to deal with various factions.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

………

Finally, Yin Qi went to the Heavenly Court.

The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty and the Heavenly Court were already allies, so the talks with Haotian went very smoothly, though a price was still paid: selling two Daluo-level Warships, five hundred Golden Immortal-level Warships, and five million warships of other levels at a discounted price.

Even calling it a discount, Yin Qi still made a massive profit.

The family fortune Haotian had accumulated over countless years and the treasury of the Heavenly Court were basically emptied by him, among which there were twenty-five types of main materials capable of refining Fourteenth-Order Evolution Fluid, far more than the collections of the various Saints.

Having been the Dao Ancestor's attendant for so many years, he naturally had some family fortune.

Twenty-five types of main materials, plus those he had collected one after another, added up to enough for him to refine three portions of Fourteenth-Order Evolution Fluid and cultivate three Quasi-Saints.

……

Wahuang Heaven.

"Yin Lang, you... you have become a Saint!?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes widened.

She stared blankly at Yin Qi, her heart churning like a stormy sea.

She knew Yin Qi was immensely talented, but without Hongmeng Purple Qi, how did he become a Saint?

"Correct!"

Yin Qi nodded with a smile.

The reason Nuwa could tell he had become a Saint was naturally because he had not restrained his aura.

Nuwa was both shocked and delighted, yet she asked in confusion, "Good, that is wonderful, but Yin Lang, how did you become a Saint, and why were there absolutely no phenomena in Heaven and Earth?"

Previously, she had felt that as a Saint, entering the inner palace was a marriage beneath her station.

Yet she had not expected that Yin Qi would actually become a Saint.

In this way, once their relationship was made public in the future, no one in Honghuang would gossip; they would only have envy.

Saints entrust their Primordial Spirit to the void; as long as one becomes a Saint, the Heavenly Dao will offer congratulations.

Purple Qi comes from the east for thirty thousand li, sweet dew falls from Heaven, and golden lotuses spring from the earth.

The vast Saintly might can be felt throughout all of Honghuang.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "I am different from you all; I achieved Law Sanctification directly, and it was within my Inner Heaven and Earth, so the Primordial Heavenly Dao could not sense it, and naturally there were no phenomena."

"Law Sanctification!"

Nuwa was shocked once again and exclaimed, "Yin Lang, how did you manage this? I have been a Saint for a million years, and after becoming a Saint, I have been contemplating the Dao of Creation, yet I am still far from touching the threshold of Law Sanctification." (End of chapter)
