Chapter 2026: Pressuring the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce, Refining Pills

The news was sent by Li Feiyan.

The takeover on the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's side was not particularly smooth.

This was also within Jun Xiaoyao's expectations.

Although Li Feiyan herself was a noble lady of the Li Imperial Clan and moreover held the Red Dust Token.

But a Red Dust Chamber of Commerce of such magnitude obviously could not change hands so easily and directly.

Even Li Feiyan could not accomplish it.

Jun Xiaoyao had thought of this long ago.

Then he directly summoned the experts of the Jun Imperial Court such as the Moon Goddess.

Yi Cangyue was naturally there as well.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao again after a long absence, Yi Cangyue's beautiful eyes were very bright, her gaze fixed on him the entire time.

Jun Xiaoyao did not waste words and spoke directly about the matter at hand.

"The Red Dust Chamber of Commerce — if it can be swallowed, it is indeed a very beneficial matter for our Jun Imperial Court," the Moon Goddess said.

The current Jun Imperial Court has the Bai Hu Divine Hall, the Xuanwu Divine Hall, the Moon God Sacred Clan, and some forces from the Xuanhuang Universe.

But among these forces, not many truly consider the Jun Imperial Court wholeheartedly.

Only forces like the Moon God Sacred Clan.

Although the Bai Hu Divine Hall and the Xuanwu Divine Hall have also joined the Jun Imperial Court, they still do not count as having been thoroughly dispersed and integrated.

Jun Xiaoyao did not mind this either.

As long as his strength and status stand here, he is not afraid of any problems arising in the Jun Imperial Court.

Moreover, afterward, Jun Xiaoyao is confident he will rope in even stronger forces and figures to join the Jun Imperial Court.

This Red Dust Chamber of Commerce is merely a part of expanding the Jun Imperial Court.

"So next, I want to ask Senior Moon Goddess to go to the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce to hold the fort."

"Also, Cangyue, you can manage and control the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce together with Li Feiyan, making it become a part of the Jun Imperial Court," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Cangyue obeys the order."

Yi Cangyue replied.

She had already devoted herself wholeheartedly to doing things for Jun Xiaoyao.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also went with the Moon Goddess, Yi Cangyue, and the others to the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's base.

The Red Dust Chamber of Commerce, in the Red Dust Universe.

With the arrival of Jun Xiaoyao and the others, even some of the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's enshrined experts could only lower their heads.

They might not be convinced by Li Feiyan.

But they absolutely would not dare to be unconvinced by Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao's background alone can crush people to death.

To put it unpleasantly, as long as Jun Xiaoyao mobilizes the Yun Imperial Clan and the Jun Imperial Court's forces.

Destroying a Red Dust Chamber of Commerce would not be a big problem at all.

Jun Xiaoyao values the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's money-making ability.

In terms of martial force, the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce still cannot even rank remotely.

Although it has some enshrined experts, they cannot become a threat either.

This is also why the Red Dust Crown Prince wanted to gamble with Jun Xiaoyao — he wanted to obtain the Jun Imperial Court's martial force resources.

But now, it has all benefited Jun Xiaoyao instead.

Additionally, the reputation Jun Xiaoyao made at the Three Emperors' Barrier also makes the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's people fearful and awed.

"Young Master Yun Xiao, no, it should be President my lord, our Red Dust Chamber of Commerce is naturally willing to join the Jun Imperial Court."

A quasi-emperor-level enshrined expert of the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce cupped his fists slightly toward Jun Xiaoyao, revealing a smile.

This quasi-emperor enshrined expert, even when facing the Red Dust Crown Prince, was neither servile nor overbearing, possessing his own worth.

But now, facing this existence who can already slay those close to the quasi-emperor realm.

This quasi-emperor enshrined expert also could not put on any airs at all.

"Very good, a wise man submits to circumstances."

"Actually, for you all, who you follow is not important; whoever can give you a future is worthy of your allegiance."

"And I, as the Master of the Xuanhuang Universe, can give you a lot — even, you can all go to the Xuanhuang Universe to cultivate."

Jun Xiaoyao's words made the eyes of some enshrined experts present shine with golden light.

The Xuanhuang Universe — that is a famously renowned cultivation blessed land, with a superior environment far surpassing other universe worlds.

"But... since you enjoy the benefits, then you must also make corresponding contributions; my Jun Imperial Court cannot tolerate people with treacherous bones behind their backs."

Jun Xiaoyao's tone was flat, yet carried a feeling of imposing authority without anger.

Causing the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's enshrined experts present to all feel a chill in their hearts.

This carrot-and-stick method, Jun Xiaoyao wields with consummate familiarity.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao tame the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce with just those few sentences.

Li Feiyan, Yi Cangyue, and the other women also found it hard for admiration and reverence not to rise in their eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao's prestige now is already not inferior to some old-generation big shots, and can be called possessing power and influence that reaches the heavens.

The next thing to do is to move the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce's headquarters from the Red Dust Universe to the Xuanhuang Universe.

This does not require Jun Xiaoyao to worry about it.

Naturally someone will handle this matter properly.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao left alone, leaving the Moon Goddess there to hold the fort at the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce.

Afterwards, the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce was completely merged into the Jun Imperial Court.

The development of the Jun Imperial Court would undoubtedly become even more prosperous and flourishing.

More and more experts would also join the Jun Imperial Court.

And next, Jun Xiaoyao also returned to the Xuanhuang Universe.

The matters on the Three Emperors' Bastion side had temporarily calmed down.

Jun Xiaoyao could also be considered temporarily free.

He began to contemplate the Golden Body Art, the Sky-Supporting Scripture, and other Great Emperor body cultivation methods exchanged from the Merit Hall.

It was not for cultivation, merely as a reference.

To lay the foundation for his future breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor physical body.

Jun Xiaoyao was confident.

Even if his physical body broke through to Quasi-Emperor, it would be enough to sweep away a crowd of Quasi-Emperors.

And if he waited until his cultivation realm also stepped into Quasi-Emperor, spirit and flesh unified, that strength would be far beyond what ordinary Quasi-Emperors could compare to.

This was Jun Xiaoyao's ambition.

And these body cultivation methods indeed gave Jun Xiaoyao some inspiration.

He sat cross-legged in the Universe Womb, adjusting his cultivation state.

At the same time, he took out the Phoenix Immortal Grass, the Purple Gold Dragon Medicine, the Nine Stars Divine Medicine, and other divine materials.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao brought out the Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron.

With a raise of his hand, four-colored flames gushed forth — precisely the Four Symbols True Fire.

The Four Symbols True Fire began to churn beneath the Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron.

The Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron was not merely used to suppress enemies.

Using it as a pill cauldron was also most suitable.

Moreover, because it contained the Mother Qi of All Things, this ultimate energy.

It could be said to be the pill cauldron that countless alchemists and pill masters dream of.

Jun Xiaoyao had not systematically learned alchemy.

But, with his talent, did he need to go learn?

If he wanted to refine, he would refine; self-taught without a master.

Although Jun Xiaoyao had not yet reached that exaggerated extent of "one method understood, ten thousand methods all understood."

He was not far off either.

If even refining a single pill required painstaking study, would his talent as the King of Anomalies be fake?

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.

Other alchemists, if refining with half-immortal medicines, would absolutely be nervous, afraid of making any mistake.

Jun Xiaoyao, however, was very composed, not caring in the slightest, as if they were the most ordinary medicinal ingredients.

He first threw the Nine Stars Divine Medicine into the Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron, extracting the medicinal properties within.

Then he released various divine materials, all rare treasures hard to find in the outside world.

But in terms of Jun Xiaoyao's collection, it was just that — not considered particularly rare.

Afterwards, he also threw the Phoenix Immortal Grass and Purple Gold Dragon Medicine into it, beginning the extraction.

"Two half-immortal medicines that complement each other, plus the Nine Stars Divine Medicine that can amplify medicinal properties, and other adjuvant medicines."

"Plus a portion of the Mother Qi of All Things fused in..."

Jun Xiaoyao looked at the situation inside the cauldron, wearing a faint smile.

This batch of his would likely produce a pill that would drive all alchemists crazy...
