NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1187: Twelve Purple Sun Pills
As Hale said, so did the Sect Master Immortal, which made Tangyu's mind somewhat complicated.
The Sect Master Immortal then said, "Tangyu, I know this decision is difficult for you, but you must make a choice. If the path is not chosen well, your future will be cut off. Of course, the choice is entirely yours; Master Uncle is just giving you a reminder and suggestion. It is only you who can decide how to walk your path, if external forces interfere, it will be counterproductive. No matter how you choose, you must seek from the heart and choose the path you most want to."
"Do not force things; in cultivation and the cultivation of Taoism, one must cultivate the heart to question the Tao. Reflect on this deeply when you return."
Tangyu silently nodded. For now, he didn't have much to think about, and he would carefully consider this when he returned.
Finally, the Sect Master Immortal said, "By the way, you killed a disciple from the Qin Family; you don't need to worry too much about this. Your master has already cleaned up the mess for you. The Qin Family won't bully you excessively, but they may seek revenge. Of course, the revenge will be straightforward, which I am not worried about. With your strength, I believe you won't suffer. However — Hongchen Palace seems to be stirring now. If the Hongchen Palace wants to avoid triggering a war prematurely, they won't act recklessly. In any case, you and Sun Wukong must be cautious."
Tangyu nodded, feeling a sense of joy and gratitude. It turns out that his master was already aware of this matter and even cleaned up after him. Although his master was incredibly irresponsible, Tangyu felt warmth at this moment.
Finally, the Sect Master Immortal's gaze fell on Pan Chenyu, and he simply said, "You need to work harder."
"Yu'er will definitely strive harder." Pan Chenyu nodded.
The Sect Master Immortal's gaze then returned to Tangyu, saying, "Tangyu, Master Uncle has something to discuss with you."
Tangyu was slightly startled. The Sect Master Immortal wanted to discuss something with him? What could it be? After thinking for a moment, Tangyu quickly understood and said, "Sect Master Uncle is too kind. Whatever Sect Master Uncle needs Tangyu to do, just say it frankly. Sect Master Uncle, it's likely about the Purple Sun Pill, isn't it?"
The Sect Master Immortal nodded, straightforwardly saying, "Yes, it is indeed about the Purple Sun Pill. Master Uncle knows that you have considerable fate with immortality at Luoyu Immortal Palace and obtained many Purple Sun Pills. You should know, each Purple Sun Pill may yield a Zifu Realm, and a Zifu Realm is a pillar of strength for any force. With the impending Red Dust catastrophe, our Jiuzhou Immortal Sect's underlying strength seems insufficient, so we must find ways to quickly enhance Jiuzhou Immortal Sect's capability."
"If we could increase the number of Zifu Realms, it would be a significant boost. Thus, Master Uncle has an uninvited request, wondering if you could contribute some of your Purple Sun Pills? Of course, Master Uncle won't take them for free; they could be exchanged with treasures or merit points. Whatever you want, you can tell Master Uncle, and if it's possible, Master Uncle will try to accommodate you."
Just as Tangyu had speculated, Tangyu smiled and said, "Since Master Uncle asks, naturally I won't be stingy. However, the Purple Sun Pill is of significant use to me as well. Thus, I can't wholly contribute them all. I hope Master Uncle will understand in this regard."
The Sect Master Immortal smiled and said, "Naturally, you don't need to contribute them all; the Purple Sun Pill is extremely precious, and acquiring them is your immortal fate. Master Uncle doesn't want a lot, although we have about a dozen to twenty people suitable to break through to the Zifu Realm in our Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. It's enough if you give Master Uncle ten Purple Sun Pills. Each Purple Sun Pill is worth a thousand merit points, totaling ten thousand for ten pills. If you need any treasures, you can exchange them at the Treasure Hall. Alternatively, you can directly ask Master Uncle to arrange it for you."
Tangyu fell into a brief silence. He had forty-nine Purple Sun Pills on him, indeed quite a number. However, each pill is as valuable as a city, each can create a Zifu Realm. People naturally have personal considerations, and so does Tangyu. He couldn't contribute them all without limit. Exchanging for treasures wasn't a concern for him; treasures are easy to acquire, but Purple Sun Pills are invaluable and rare. There's no need to speak of their preciousness.
After pondering, Tangyu said, "Alright, Master Uncle, I'll give you twelve Purple Sun Pills. As for treasures, that's indifferent, I'll request them from Master Uncle when needed. For now, there's nothing particular I need. However, I could use some assistance from Master Uncle for several celestial stones."
Upon hearing Tangyu's words, the Sect Master Immortal laughed heartily, showing even more appreciation and satisfaction, and nodded, "That's a trivial matter. Tell me what celestial stones you need. As long as they're not too rare, it should be manageable."
Tangyu reported the celestial stones needed for the cultivation of the Undying Nine Transformations. He had obtained all required for the first seven transformations, except the last two. For the first six transformations, Tangyu had them, and he only lacked the last three, so he only mentioned the last three types.
After hearing this, the Sect Master Immortal slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "They're somewhat rare, but no matter, these are small matters. Leave them to Master Uncle. It can be done in three to five days for minor things or ten to fifteen days for bigger ones."
"Alright, then everything is in Master Uncle's hands." Tangyu nodded, cheerfully handing over twelve Purple Sun Pills to the Sect Master Immortal.
Receiving the twelve Purple Sun Pills, the Sect Master Immortal was slightly excited, a strong sense of joy appeared on his face: "Such high-quality Purple Sun Pills, much better than any I have seen before, deserving of being from Luoyu Immortal Palace, truly extraordinary. With these twelve Purple Sun Pills, I can add twelve members to the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect in the Zifu Realm. It will indeed strengthen our Jiuzhou Immortal Sect."
Tangyu did not stay long in the Nine Heavens and soon bid farewell, returning to the Second Heaven, to his courtyard. Holy Sun, Xing Tian, and Qiutian naturally had been waiting there early, just waiting for Tangyu's return. Upon seeing Tangyu return, everyone crowded around him cheerfully greeting him.
Tangyu smiled at everyone and said: "Are you all doing well?"
Holy Sun laughed: "Pretty well, nothing special has happened. With a talent like you here, our treatment in Jiuzhou Immortal Sect is of course excellent. Always people aiming to make friends with us, and no one dares to provoke us anymore."
"Haha yes, Tangyu, we also benefit by following you, when one person attains the Tao, their whole entourage ascends to heaven. Now our status in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect is very high, and no one dares to provoke us. Even those from other powers are not inclined to provoke us easily and are quite polite to us," Wang Qiutian said with some pride.
Tangyu also smiled: "That's the best. Holy Sun, Xing Tian, you both are still stuck in the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm; you seem to have been stuck in this Realm for some time. Since it's difficult to break through in Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, you should venture out; it should help you break through to the Golden Core Realm. Once you cross a barrier, the path becomes smoother; if you are stuck at a barrier too long, the path becomes difficult. Hence, it is crucial for you to heed this."
Holy Sun and Xing Tian both nodded; they naturally understood this.
Wang Qiutian and the others are still at the Seventh and Eighth Layers of the Mystic Law Realm, their potential is limited. They need considerable effort to achieve the Golden Core Realm.
Holy Sun said: "By the way, Tangyu, there's good news to share; Zi Cang broke through to the Golden Core Realm over half a year ago, now he is at least Second or Third Layer Golden Core, maybe even higher. Though Zi Cang is low-key, his fame is gradually rising. Among our batch of disciples, Zi Cang's strength may now rank among the top."
This news did not surprise Tangyu, for he knew his eldest brother Zi Cang's talent, not inferior to Holy Sun and Xing Tian. But with a formidable master teaching Zi Cang, the pace of his advancement naturally surpasses Holy Sun and Xing Tian's. Of course, being able to break through to the Golden Core so swiftly made Tangyu very happy for Zi Cang.
Tangyu's gaze shifted as he looked over and saw a familiar figure walking over, it was indeed Zi Cang. Just as they spoke of Zi Cang, he arrived; Tangyu also went up cheerfully to welcome him, giving Zi Cang a bear hug. Sensing Zi Cang's aura, Tangyu quickly knew that his eldest brother was now at Golden Core Realm Third Layer, a pretty good strength. Such rapid cultivation speed was indeed somewhat surprising.
Tangyu invited everyone into the courtyard and set out drinks, enjoying a lively bout of drinking. To drink and chat with so many brothers was indeed a very blissful thing. Opportunities like this were increasingly rare now.
The drinking session lasted until deep into the night before dispersing, with Zi Cang being the last to leave.
Zi Cang heavily patted Tangyu's shoulder and said: "Third brother, among us three brothers, your talent is the best and your fortune is the greatest. Seeing your achievements now, big brother is truly happy for you. We three brothers came to the Cultivation World together to explore. Second brother is still unknown in whereabouts now. Although I follow Master, I recognize my talent is limited; being able to achieve Zifu might just be my limit. As for Seeking Immortal, I cannot aim for it just yet."
"Third brother, only you have the strength to achieve Seeking Immortal, to seek the Immortal and explore the Tao. Reaching Zifu would already be fulfilling for me. Achieving that in a lifetime pursuit would be satisfying."
Tangyu replied: "Big brother, don't say that as if discouraged. Look at you now, haven't you reached the Golden Core Realm Third Layer? Your talent does not lag behind others. Don't compare with me; I grew to this Realm due to much Immortal fate. Since we three brothers ventured into the Cultivation World together, we will indeed carve out a future here. I have never doubted this."
"Solid faith leads to infinite strength; believe that everything can become reality. Our cultivation time is still short; we have plenty of time in the future to chase dreams. I believe we will surely succeed. We still need to return to Earth and bring our family and friends to the Cultivation World, to together create a more beautiful future."
"Second brother is still unknown in whereabouts, but surely he will be doing very well. I believe when we reunite, it will surely be a surprising second brother."
Zi Cang nodded and then took his leave.
