Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1801 - 1369: Deal (Part 2)

The family's intelligence reports indicated that none of these three rival powers possessed a Heavenly Immortal Rank Alchemy Master.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists, and welcome to Mount Wanxian." Li Xianlang stood outside the Reception Hall, awaiting the arrival of the three families' cultivators before personally escorting them inside.

An Earth Immortal Cultivator spearheaded each delegation, followed by a retinue of several Human Immortals and Individual Immortals.

Once the assembly was seated, a peaceful and soothing aura filled the room, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of brewing tea.

"I have been briefed on your goals, but I am curious: what exactly are you prepared to offer in this exchange?" Li Xianlang inquired bluntly.

The Earth Immortal representing the Cave Abyss Sect hesitated to answer directly, instead asking, "I am interested to know the maturation cycle of your family’s Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit. Furthermore, how many fruits are produced in a single harvest?"

"The tree reaches maturity every nine hundred years, yielding twelve fruits. Half are reserved for our clan's internal requirements, while the remaining six are available for trade."

The three Earth Immortals felt a visible wave of relief; these terms exceeded their expectations. Six Eight Diagram Treasure Fruits could be distributed equally among their three organizations without conflict.

They remained oblivious to the fact that, thanks to Li Zhirui’s Personal Space, he could harvest twenty-one fruits every three hundred years!

If he chose to, he could even force them to ripen within a single day, provided he was willing to expend a staggering quantity of Spirit Stones.

"Since the Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit is a premier Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, we lack items of equal rarity. Consequently, we can only offer a higher volume of standard Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects as compensation. Does this satisfy Clan Leader Li?"

Li Xianlang gave a mental sneer. Each of these three families was a long-standing power with deep foundations. The claim that they possessed nothing comparable to the Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit was an obvious falsehood!

They were clearly attempting to exploit his family, and he looked forward to seeing how they would justify themselves later.

"Let us examine the spiritual objects you have brought before we reach a conclusion," he replied with an air of composure.

The Earth Immortals traded glances, sensing something unusual in his tone, but they proceeded to display the Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Objects they had prepared.

"Holy Spirit Grass, Heavenly Essence Fruit, Xuanming Flower, Yin Yang Vermilion Fruit..."

Li Xianlang listed the items one by one. While his outward appearance remained steady, he was secretly fuming.

Were these items valuable? Certainly, as they were all of the Heavenly Immortal Rank.

However, they paled in comparison to the Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit; they weren't even in the same league.

Attempting to swap these 'lesser spiritual objects' for the Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit was bad enough, but the meager quantity offered was an outright insult!

"If you three are not here with sincere intentions, then you shouldn't have bothered coming at all."

Li Xianlang spoke with a chilling edge. "I was originally prepared to discuss another Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Object for trade, but it appears neither you nor your sects truly wish to finalize this deal."

"Therefore, please see yourselves out!"

Had the three families shown even a shred of honesty, he wouldn't have dismissed them so abruptly.

But since they chose to be so brazen, Li Xianlang saw no reason to show them any face!

Among the numerous Heavenly Immortal Powers within the Primal Spirit Realm, the Li family had only chosen these three due to their geographical proximity, not out of necessity.

"Clan Leader Li, please, restrain your anger. If our offer is insufficient, please state your requirements so we may continue our negotiations." The Earth Immortal did not take offense, knowing full well that his sect had pushed their luck. Fortunately, they had backup plans.

In the next breath, they produced several Jade Boxes, opening them to reveal far more valuable treasures.

"Void Spirit Green Light Leaf, Ink Spot Star Wood, Hundred Beasts Illusion Spirit Flower..."

These new offerings were clearly of a significantly higher grade than the previous items.

"Still not enough!"

Li Xianlang shook his head dismissively. "If this is the extent of your offerings, then you shall each receive only one Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit today."

"As for these three Enlightenment Immortal Pills, I suspect they will not be going to you."

As he spoke, he produced a delicate vial and poured out the immortal pills.

An intoxicating medicinal aroma immediately filled the air, clearing the minds of everyone present and providing instant clarity on complex Cultivation problems they had been facing.

However, he quickly returned the pills to the bottle, leaving the observers feeling a deep sense of deprivation.

"Clan Leader Li, is that truly a Heavenly Immortal Rank Enlightenment Immortal Pill?!"

"Indeed. You have all just experienced the effects of its fragrance, so why doubt its authenticity?"

Just like the Eight Diagram Treasure Fruit, the Enlightenment Immortal Pill assists a cultivator in comprehending the Laws, though the pill's efficacy is far more potent.

"Was this crafted by Senior Li Zhirui?" Although they suspected the truth, they needed verbal confirmation.

"It was," Li Xianlang confirmed with a nod. "Ancestor Rui finished refining them recently. Since the rare materials are currently depleted, we won't be producing more anytime soon. These three Enlightenment Immortal Pills are the only ones available for purchase."

"We have long heard of Senior Li Zhirui’s unmatched genius in the Alchemy Dao, and today proves those rumors true!" Despite the shock and greed swirling in their minds, they showered him with flattery.

He chuckled. "Do you three wish to trade for these Enlightenment Immortal Pills? If not, we will take them to other state domains to find buyers among the other powers."

"We do! However, we did not bring sufficient treasures on this trip. I ask Clan Leader Li to wait while I return to my sect to gather more. Please, do not sell these pills before I get back!" the Earth Immortal from the Cave Abyss Sect pleaded urgently.

It was obvious he wanted to claim all three pills for his sect alone, rather than sharing them with the others.

The Cave Abyss Sect had the advantage of distance; an Earth Immortal flying at maximum speed could complete the trip in mere hours.

In contrast, the Yumen He Family and the Xiaxian Sect were too far away; a round trip would take them a month at least.

"I only deal in immediate trades," Li Xianlang stated, refusing to wait—after all, there was no shortage of buyers.

The Earth Immortal dared not argue and immediately sped back toward the Cave Abyss Sect to scavenge every precious spiritual object he could find.

"Is your report accurate?"

While racing back, the Earth Immortal sent a Communication Talisman ahead, ordering the sect to prepare the treasures. Upon arrival, he was met with interrogation from the Sect Leader and Elders.

"Absolutely! If you doubt me, send another Elder along to witness it!"

Pressed for time, he grabbed the spiritual objects and departed with another Elder in tow.

"Heavenly Immortal Rank Immortal Pills... That man has actually become an Alchemy Master. Now, no one will dare to cross the Li family!"

Offending a Heavenly Immortal Alchemy Master was a risk no one wanted to take; the consequences were simply too dire.

The Sect Leader suddenly recalled his earlier desire to wipe out the Li family, a plan that had been blocked by the Elders.

In such a short span of time, the Li family had transformed into a titan they could no longer hope to challenge!

...

Before long, the two Earth Immortals from the Cave Abyss Sect arrived back at Mount Wanxian, laden with treasures to exchange for the three Enlightenment Immortal Pills.

The representatives from the other two families could only watch with dark expressions as the Cave Abyss Sect finalized the deal.

"Clan Leader Li, should your family have any more rare spiritual objects for sale in the future, please contact the Cave Abyss Sect first. We will make certain you receive a fair price!"

Before realizing Li Zhirui was a Heavenly Immortal Rank Alchemy Master, they had plotted to cheat the Li family. Now, they were falling over themselves to hand over their wealth.

"Very well. I will reach out to you first when our next batch of Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects matures," Li Xianlang agreed with a smile.

Of course, being contacted first didn't mean they would be the only ones invited.

The Li family required a diverse range of resources and had no intention of limiting their trade to just these three groups.
