Chapter 673

Yan Buji returned to the sect, then curiously examined the iron box in his hand.

"It's a shame this is sect property, I can't use it for myself." Yan Buji was very curious how the artifact refiner who refined the cross-domain voyage ship managed to fit a hundred-meter giant ship into this iron box; it probably involved a highly profound Void Path secret art.

Originally Yan Buji went to the Heavenly Spirit Realm hoping to visit that artifact refiner, but after hearing Xu Pingji's final words, even he could not easily meet the other party, which left Yan Buji very disappointed.

But that makes sense; no matter how formidable a person is, one cannot just casually meet them.

"If there's a chance later, I'll go ask for advice again."

According to Yan Buji's thinking, since this artifact refiner could refine such a top-tier Void Path immortal accumulation as the cross-domain voyage ship, he must have his own unique understanding of the Void Path.

If he could establish a good relationship with him and have him teach him, that would naturally be best.

"Hall Master, the other disciples are ready; when do you say we should start?" Huang Ji walked over and asked.

"Just wait a moment. Any news from the Dragon Void Cave and the United Chamber of Commerce?"

"They seem to have already sent people to investigate us; news from Long Qi Cheng says that in the past two days, many people have been openly and secretly inquiring about our affairs."

Yan Buji nodded.

It's unclear how much attention the emergence of the Great Sinful Sect has drawn to Yan Buji, but matters that affect his work need to be understood in advance.

Arranging people to watch those two families' movements is the same; even if they dare not readily come to cause trouble, they will surely later devise countermeasures against them.

This is obvious; snatching the cake from others' hands will surely invite trouble.

Yan Buji pondered for a while, ordered Huang Ji to continue observing, and then waited for news from Wang Daolong to arrive.

Soon after.

Wang Daolong changed bodies again and came to the Great Sinful Sect.

After a round of interrogation, he was finally able to come before Yan Buji.

"Sect Master." Yan Buji bowed with clasped hands, eyeing the elderly woman before him doubtfully: "This person says he is Wang Daolong...."

He Yun glanced twice, then nodded: "Indeed, after a Youming Jie cultivator seizes a Yang Realm cultivator's body, they cannot continue seizing; they can only attach to others to act in the Yang Realm."

"I see."

"Vice Commander of the Heavenly Treasury Army under King Yama, Wang Daolong, has greeted the Sect Master and the Hall Master." Wang Daolong said with a smile.

"Wang Daolong isn't your real name, is it?"

"I originally had no name either." Wang Daolong shook his head: "King Yama gave me a residence and identity; the name doesn't matter."

Yan Buji neither affirmed nor denied, and He Yun then said: "What do you say on your side?"

"King Yama said it's acceptable; these are the resources we need. Here are the resources we can provide to you." Wang Daolong took out two jade slips and handed them to He Yun.

He Yun swept his divine sense over them, instantly frowning: "Are you sure King Yama wants these?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Hall Master, please arrange it."

"Yes."

Yan Buji curiously took the two jade slips, not knowing what the King Yama wanted, but a single sweep of divine sense left him stunned: "How is this King Yama still a lecher?"

Yan Buji thought to himself, loving beauty these days is nothing unusual, but he had never heard of such complicated tastes.

They were both foreigners and demons, and he even proposed some female beings of races Yan Buji had never heard of, whose appearance—whether human-like or not—was hard to say.

But King Yama is not human; after thinking, Yan Buji understood.

"We will prepare these sources of goods as soon as possible; I don't know how you intend to conduct the trade."

"The specific details are...."

Wang Daolong and Yan Buji discussed for a long time; during it there were several serious arguments, but in the end both sides compromised and settled the details of the first transaction.

Yan Buji mainly valued that these Youming Jie spiritual materials are indeed very rare; even without mentioning their efficacy, they cannot be found on the market, so the items are good, but getting people to buy them is not that simple.

Soon, Yan Buji requested from Wang Daolong a sample of each spiritual material.

He Yun looked at Yan Buji strangely: "What are you planning to do?"

"First understand the effects of these spiritual materials, see if we can find a suitable way to promote them."

"Promote them? Once put on the market, there should be buyers, right?" He Yun asked.

Yan Buji nodded: "Sure there will be buyers, but everyone buys them just for novelty; if they don't know what these spiritual materials do, they definitely won't purchase them long-term."

Yan Buji looked at these spiritual materials and smiled: "But if we tell them how to use these spiritual materials, and if we can find a use closely related to cultivators that they cannot give up, wouldn't that sell big?"

He Yun thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "For example, life-saving pills and accumulation devices?"

"Exactly." Yan Buji nodded.

He Yun chuckled: "Entrusting this matter to you is indeed correct."

"Sect Master, you overpraise me; I'm merely doing my duty."

Yan Buji began researching the effects of these spiritual materials; some of these rare Youming Jie spiritual materials he had possessed before, but years of alchemy and artifact forging have exhausted them.

There are also some he doesn't recognize, which will require a period of time to test.

Yan Buji did not rush to propose a formal trade agreement to Wang Daolong; he wanted to clarify exactly what they truly needed.

Don't be fooled by the abundance of spiritual materials here; Youming Jie spiritual materials inherently carry yin-cold qi, which is of no benefit to ordinary cultivators and is actually lethal.

Therefore Yan Buji consulted He Yun: "Sect Master, do you know any way to dispel the yin-cold qi?"

"If the Youming Jie spiritual materials lose their yin-cold qi, their efficacy would probably be greatly reduced." He Yun doubted: "Besides, we've spent so much time and effort arranging these; we can't just lower their grade after obtaining the goods, can we?"

"It's not about lowering the grade, but making these spiritual materials tolerable for ordinary cultivators. For instance, I want to use them for alchemy, but if the yin-cold qi is too high, it would affect the pill's quality, success rate, and medicinal properties, making it not so simple to sell."

He Yun thought: "If that's the case, you could try using the Impure Blood Pool."

"Impure Blood Pool?" Yan Buji startled.

"In our sect's secret arts, there is a secret technique for making blood puppets, which involves a secret art accumulation device called the Impure Blood Pool."

"Secret art accumulation device.... Sect Master, please forgive my limited knowledge; what exactly is this secret art accumulation device?"

He Yun explained: "The myriad paths of the world, laws arise in accordance with heaven, earth, time, place, and harmony; aside from those laws that exist innately, after forging the great path, there are astonishingly talented individuals who integrate their insights into accumulation devices, making them secret keys to assist themselves in mastering the laws!"

Yan Buji widened his eyes: "Could it be that this filthy blood pool...."

"Not bad, the filthy blood pool was originally called the Nine‑Direction Pool of Great Suffering and Great Sorrow; it is the accumulation of the patriarch's secret key."
