Chapter 999: Chapter 713: Secret Route

Before long, the door to the private room was gently pushed open.

An elderly man, dressed in a simple hemp robe with white hair and beard, walked in slowly.

The aura around him was calm and condensed, revealing a True Pill Late Stage cultivation.

There was also a faint herbal fragrance, formed from years of immersion in elixirs.

"I am Ying Kanwu, a tributor alchemist of the Commerce Alliance, and I have come to meet Fellow Daoist Shen."

The elder’s voice was calm, and his gaze turned sharp as it landed on the jade bottle on the table.

Shen Xuan stood up and nodded slightly in return, "Fellow Daoist Ying is too kind, please."

Ying Kanwu said no more, stepping forward to carefully pick up the jade bottle, pouring a crimson-gold Spirit Pill into his palm.

The fragrance of the pill became stronger, even causing the Spiritual Qi in the room to become more lively.

He brought out a treasure mirror, neither gold nor jade, covered in dense runes, and repeatedly examined the elixir with it.

The surface of the mirror glowed, reflecting the pure and stable spiritual power structure inside the elixir.

The elder focused intently, sometimes leaning in to sniff closely, other times closing his eyes to explore with Divine Sense.

After a whole cup of tea time, he slowly retracted the mirror, carefully putting the Golden Transformation Pill back into the jade bottle, and nodded solemnly at Shopkeeper Lou.

"The Golden Transformation Pill, the quality is excellent."

The elder’s voice was steady but carried a hint of astonishment.

After speaking, he cupped his hands toward Shen Xuan again and silently left the private room, coming and going without a sound.

Shopkeeper Lou looked at the jade bottle with eyes as passionate as fire.

He suppressed his excitement and tentatively asked, "Senior Shen, I wonder about these Golden Transformation Pills..."

"Why, is your esteemed establishment trading by interrogating the source of the goods?"

Shen Xuan’s tone turned slightly cold, interrupting him.

"Ah! This junior dares not! Forgive me Senior, it was rude of me!"

Shopkeeper Lou was startled and quickly bowed in apology, sweat seeping from his forehead.

To casually produce Golden Transformation Pills, what kind of person can he casually inquire about?

"No worries."

Shen Xuan’s expression relaxed slightly, and his tone was indifferent, yet he threw out even more substantial information.

"The source of this pill is legitimate. It was refined by me in my spare time. Your esteemed establishment can rest assured."

Refined personally!

Shopkeeper Lou was deeply shaken in his heart.

Not only is he a formidable Core Formation True Master, but also a Tier Three Alchemist capable of refining Golden Transformation Pills!

Such a figure, no matter where they go, is a distinguished guest sought after by major forces!

Their value is far beyond that of an ordinary Core Formation True Master!

With his own status, he’s not qualified to further discuss transactions with this senior.

"Senior, please hold on! I’ll go and invite the Alliance Hierarch here to discuss with you further!"

Shopkeeper Lou hurriedly gave a salute and ran out of the private room.

Soon, an elderly man dressed in an ordinary gray robe, with an aura as deep as the sea, entered alone through the door.

With a warm smile, the moment his Divine Sense touched Shen Xuan, it brought an invisible pressure.

"I am Xu Haozhi, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Moonrise Immortal City Commerce Alliance. Apologies for keeping Fellow Daoist Shen waiting."

The old man cupped his hands, introducing himself, revealing him to be a Golden Core True Master.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is polite."

Shen Xuan stood up to return the greeting, understanding in his heart.

This is the person who can make decisions.

In the private room, the two Golden Core True Masters sat opposite each other, the atmosphere harmonious.

An hour later.

In front of the grand gates of the Fuhai Commerce Alliance, Shen Xuan calmly stepped out.

Behind him, Vice Alliance Leader Xu Haozhi personally escorted him to the door, smiling.

Once outside, he casually took out a Middle Grade Spirit Stone and handed it to Feng Xingyun.

"That will be all for today, you can go back now."

...

Shen Xuan left the Moonrise Immortal City, his figure stretched, transforming into a blue light, flying unhurriedly towards the direction of Minghua Mountain.

Halfway there, below was a wild and uninhabited mountain wilderness.

Shen Xuan pressed down his escape light, silently descending into a hidden mountain hollow.

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, several Array Flags shot out, embedding into the surrounding rock and soil, an invisible Shield Array quickly rising, separating internal and external auras.

After doing all this, he did not stop at the original place.

His true body concealed itself, silently lurking dozens of feet away, hidden in the crown of an ancient towering tree over ten meters high.

Calming his mind, he released his Divine Sense and perception, taking the place where he had just landed as the center.

"Hmm, within a radius of ten miles, there’s no unusual aura lurking. It seems the Fuhai Commerce Alliance is still playing by the rules and hasn’t sent anyone to follow and spy on me."

Shen Xuan was slightly relieved in his heart.

As for planting a tracking mark on him.

With his current Divine Soul strength and perception, the other party does not have that ability.

After confirming there was no threat, he quietly emerged from the tree crown, returning to the mountain hollow where he had set up the array.

Shen Xuan took out a brand new Storage Pouch.

Inside were his earnings from the Fuhai Commerce Alliance this time.

In exchange for over twenty Golden Transformation Pills and over a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, he acquired three Tier Three Demon King Inner Cores.

Two of them were Tier Three Middle Grade, a Golden-Eyed Fire Eagle Core and a Fire Rock Earth Dragon Core.

The other was Tier Three Upper Grade, a Thunder Flame Flood Dragon Core.

All three inner cores were in excellent condition, with their spiritual power well-preserved.

Unfortunately, the Demon Beast Essence Blood matched with the inner cores had already been reserved or sold out.

The jade bottle contained six Golden Transformation Pills, of which only half were used this time.

However, Xu Haozhi was quite enthusiastic, stating on the spot that he was willing to use the channels of the Fuhai Commerce Alliance to keep an eye out and facilitate the trade of corresponding Inner Core Essence Blood for free.

His words clearly showed intentions of forming friendly ties.

To such overtures, Shen Xuan merely listened, politely acknowledging on the surface but not taking it to heart.

The Commerce Alliance is profit-driven, today’s enthusiasm might be tomorrow’s calculation, caution must be exercised.

Once again, Shen Xuan carefully inspected the three inner cores to ensure there were no tricks, then securely stored them away.

Having done all this, he did not stay any longer, his figure blurred, transforming into escape light once more, rushing toward the direction of the Chu family territory in Minghua Mountain.
