Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Is it a higher-grade innate divine substance, or one with specific attributes?

Yan Chihong reluctantly took one last look at the strand of innate purple energy in Zhang Jing's hands, and his turbulent thoughts slowly started to calm down.

The reason was simple, he wasn't confident in the matter that Junior Brother Zhang Jing wanted to entrust to him.

As for first agreeing verbally and then resorting to deceit and delay, Yan Chihong hadn't even considered it.

Not to mention Zhang Jing's impressive talent and limitless potential for the future, but just the background he had was enough reason to be cautious. How could those two in the line of True Teachings from the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven be easily provoked?

"Junior Brother Zhang Jing."

Yan Chihong struggled to move his gaze away from the innate purple energy, fell silent for a few moments, as if organizing his words.

"This matter... this matter is quite difficult. Higher-grade innate divine substances are incredibly precious, and without accidents, generally no cultivators would think of trading them away. Furthermore, as you just said so much, trying to collect them all is nearly impossible."

"If you were to trade with innate purple energy, there might still be some possibility. However, forgive your Senior Brother for speaking frankly, how much innate purple energy can you, Junior Brother, possess?"

"As much as I can find, will suffice. After all, Senior Brother is one of the heads of the Auction Field of All Worlds, with extensive connections, these small matters are surely easy for you."

Zhang Jing knew what the other party was worried about and immediately replied with a smile:

"No matter the outcome, this strand of innate purple energy is a gift from Junior Brother to Senior Brother. Moreover, should the matter succeed, there will be a handsome reward!"

"As for the innate purple energy—"

Zhang Jing smiled faintly, a strong confidence flashing in his eyes.

"Junior Brother was fortunate to encounter a great opportunity and obtained some in an elder's dwelling."

He didn't dare to disclose the exact origin of the innate purple energy, nor did he specify how much he actually had.

Otherwise, once the news leaked, even with his master standing behind him, it would still attract endless trouble.

After all, if one had enough innate purple energy, it could substantially promote a Harmonized Dao True Immortal to the stage of condensing the Dao fruit.

What remained was only the Combining Dao tribulation.

After surviving it, one becomes a Heavenly Immortal, able to create a void world with a thought, enjoy a boundless lifespan, and live a carefree life. Even in the outer realm, where gods and demons dominate, one would be a leading figure and master.

The temptation was so great that it was hard to ensure no one would take the risk.

"This secret must not be revealed to anyone except for our master until at least the advancement to the Unity Realm Stage. Of course, even if I don't tell the master, it's likely I couldn't hide it from His Venerable Presence," Zhang Jing thought secretly to himself.

The value of innate purple energy, for reference, was around four to five hundred billion in luck movement.

It's not high, yet not low either.

Of course, this is only for reference.

For a being at the Harmony Realm Stage, there are ways to obtain luck movement, but innate purple energy can only be acquired during the conquest of worlds.

However, the above is based on the price of a single strand of innate purple energy.

If there were more, the value would be entirely different.

One strand might be worth five hundred billion in luck movement, but a wisp, which is a hundred strands, is not something that can simply be measured in fifty trillion luck movement.

Zhang Jing's purpose for coming here was mainly threefold:

The first was to see if there were any higher-grade innate divine substances that he needed; the second was to take advantage of the opportunity to dispose of the treasures he got from Bai Gusou, exchanging them all for luck movement.

The third, and most important point, was to open up a channel with Senior Brother Yan Chihong, to exchange a batch of innate purple energy for the innate divine substances that he needed.

Of course, this was a long-term process.

His current strength was still insufficient; if he released a large amount of innate purple energy in a short time, there would inevitably be risks involved.

As for whether Yan Chihong would agree—

Being a disciple of the Wanbao Immortal Sect, as long as the price was high enough, there was nothing that couldn't be negotiated.

"Ancients' dwellings, containing innate purple energy, and judging by Junior Brother Zhang Jing's expression, not in small quantities."

Yan Chihong stared at Zhang Jing, envy in his gaze almost materializing.

He thought unconsciously of Qu Junhou he had just encountered.

The man had equally stumbled upon a great opportunity, even more terrifying than the fortune before Zhang Jing, soaring directly into the Unity Realm Stage.

Is this what a true genius looks like?

He marveled secretly to himself, beginning to doubt his own life choices.

However, after a moment's thought, it seemed his own chance had come as well.

Yan Chihong's eyes flashed with resolve, his mind made up.

"Junior Brother, how do you need your Senior Brother to proceed?"

"Senior Brother only needs to do as follows..." Zhang Jing smiled and started to detail the plan he had thought of beforehand.

A short while later.

"Junior Brother, rest assured, leave this matter to your Senior Brother," Yan Chihong said as he stared at Zhang Jing, patting his chest firmly, assuring him with utmost seriousness.

On his face, however, still lingered a hint of unshakeable shock—how much innate purple energy did this Junior Brother actually control with such a plan?

"By the way, Senior Brother, can these treasures be auctioned off taking advantage of this opportunity?"

Zhang Jing handed over a storage bag.

Inside were the treasures he obtained from Bai Gusou, which he did not need.

"What is this?"

Yan Chihong took the storage bag, probed inside with his divine sense, but in the next moment, he involuntarily inhaled sharply.

Treasures, so many treasures!

In his divine perception, the high-grade treasure resources inside the storage bag seemed to have piled up into a small mountain, likely numbering in the thousands.

It took him a while to regain his composure.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Chihong opened his mouth to confirm with some difficulty: "Junior Brother, are these treasures also what you acquired from the ancients' dwellings? Are you sure you want to sell them all?"

It seemed he was afraid Zhang Jing wasn't aware of the seriousness.
