Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1742: Chapter 1060: A Major Deal

...

A few days later, White Cloud True Monarch finally returned after being away for most of the year.

Inside the Jade Sky Hall.

White Cloud True Monarch was in a good mood, with a faint smile on his face as he looked at his fellow disciples.

"Where’s Junior Sister Lingyu?"

He asked with a chuckle.

"Senior Sister has been keeping an eye on the Unpredictable Ghost Sect recently." Jian Changhe replied.

White Cloud True Monarch nodded slightly and asked, "Has there been any movement from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect recently?"

Jian Changhe briefly summarized the recent events, mainly the fall of the Xiaxian Sect and the actions of the Wanhua Demon Court.

After listening, White Cloud True Monarch showed a thoughtful expression.

Yang Zhenshan then asked, "What did Senior Brother gain from this trip?"

He was very curious about where White Cloud True Monarch had gone since he had been away for so long, making him wonder if White Cloud True Monarch had encountered any unexpected events.

Upon hearing Yang Zhenshan’s inquiry, White Cloud True Monarch immediately smiled radiantly, "Haha, there were gains, and quite substantial ones!"

As he spoke, he fixed his bright gaze on Yang Zhenshan, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Yang Zhenshan felt a bit uncomfortable with the gaze, and even Jian Changhe was astonished by it.

"Junior Brother, I’ve secured a big business deal for you!" White Cloud True Monarch said with a laugh.

Yang Zhenshan was a bit bewildered, "What big business deal?"

Weren’t you out looking for allies? How did you end up securing a business deal, especially for me?

"Elixir!" White Cloud True Monarch handed a jade scroll to Yang Zhenshan. "Here’s the list!"

Yang Zhenshan took the jade scroll with a puzzled look, his Spiritual Sense entered it, and when he finally saw the contents, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Indeed, it’s a big business!

A very large business.

A thousand Demon Essence Pills, with no less than three hundred top-grade ones required.

Two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills.

A hundred Turtle Breath Pills.

Three hundred Illusion God Pills.

...

Ten top-grade Demon Essence Pills.

Ten Tongming Pills.

Twenty Soul Revival Pills.

And so on.

A total of eighteen types of Second-Order Pills, amounting to two thousand eight hundred pills, and twelve types of Third-tier Elixirs, amounting to a hundred and eighty pills.

Such a large elixir order, even the Ten Thousand Treasures Store rarely receives such large business.

And being able to order such a large amount of elixirs signifies they are definitely not a small force.

Second-Order Pills are understandable, but Third-tier Elixirs require Third-stage Spiritual Objects for refining, and generally, Golden Core Powers can’t easily provide so many Third-stage Spiritual Objects.

"Is this an order?" Yang Zhenshan looked up at White Cloud True Monarch.

Being an Alchemist, accepting alchemical orders is a very normal thing.

Yang Zhenshan has refined elixirs over the years, but currently, his clients include only the Sky Cloud Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

As a Third-order Alchemist, Yang Zhenshan’s elixirs naturally have no trouble selling.

There’s no need to sell them externally; just the demand within the Sky Cloud Sword Sect alone desires to consume all his elixirs.

However, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect’s foundation is relatively weak, unable to provide sufficient medicinal materials for him, so he still accepts some alchemical tasks from the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

"That’s right, the other party has already provided the materials and the payment!" White Cloud True Monarch tossed a Storage Bag to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan opened the Storage Bag and saw that it was indeed fully prepared, with all kinds of medicinal materials, all ready as per the regulations.

As long as his pill success rate isn’t too low, his profits will be at least thirty percent of the order.

"Which force has such a large influence?" Yang Zhenshan was more curious about the power placing the order.

White Cloud True Monarch smiled mysteriously and said, "Hengshan Sect!"

"The Hengshan Sect?" Yang Zhenshan was momentarily dumbfounded, Jian Changhe and Yun Xiao were also extremely surprised.

None of them expected White Cloud True Monarch to have interactions with the Hengshan Sect, nor that he would secure such a large order from them.

White Cloud True Monarch looked at their astonished expressions and smiled confidently.

"Initially, I just wanted to visit True Monarch Zhao Yuan of the Li family from the Immortal Clan, and see if an alliance could be formed with the Li family, only to find out that the Li family wanted to join the Hengshan Sect, so I followed True Monarch Zhao Yuan to the Hengshan Sect."

"It just so happened that the Hengshan Sect and the South Sea Demon Clan had numerous conflicts recently, to counteract the constant pressure from them, they drew in numerous Immortal Cultivation Forces."

"During my visit, I was also approached, but since I have a Sect, I didn’t join the Hengshan Sect."

"I’ve been in the Hengshan Sect for the past half year, helping them in a few formations, and met many fellow cultivators there."

"When two major forces engage in war, naturally a large amount of elixirs is needed, so as I was leaving the Hengshan Sect, I discussed with them and accepted this order."

"If this cooperation is pleasant, we can potentially receive more orders from within the Hengshan Sect in the future!"

"Junior Brother, can you refine these elixirs?"

He looked at Yang Zhenshan with anticipation.

It’s no wonder he’s so expectant; this is indeed a big business. If this transaction succeeds, not only can Yang Zhenshan earn a great deal, but the Sky Cloud Sword Sect can also acquire substantial resources.

The Hengshan Sect provided only the main ingredients, while the supplementary materials need to be prepared by the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, and merely providing these supplementary materials offers the Sky Cloud Sword Sect considerable profit.

If he represents the Sky Cloud Sword Sect in fulfilling this order, he’d gain significant attention within the Hengshan Sect. Though he won’t join the Hengshan Sect, embracing their support means reaping tremendous benefits.

Yang Zhenshan quickly understood why White Cloud True Monarch took this order.

After some consideration, he said, "Refining isn’t a problem, it just requires some time!"

"Hehe, refining them is all that matters. As for the time, we can deliver a batch first; it’s just a matter of making a few trips." White Cloud True Monarch laughed.

Yang Zhenshan was slightly speechless; you only need to make trips, but I must expend a lot of time and energy refining the elixirs.

Of course, he would definitely not decline such an order.

Earning resources through alchemy is far better than fighting fiercely to seize them.

Besides, he doesn’t need to refine all these elixirs himself; he only needs to refine the Third-tier Elixirs, while the Second-Order Pills can be delegated to Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan.

It’s just that the current situation is somewhat tense, and it’s hard to comprehend why White Cloud True Monarch is engaging in business rather than focusing on coping with the current events.

Although the Hengshan Sect is a top-tier power in the Wanhua Domain, its influence is mainly in the Central Domain, Southern Domain, and Eastern Domain. In the Wanhua Mountain Range, the Hengshan Sect has almost no authority.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment and decided to accept the order.

No matter, amid current non-participation in warfare by the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, it’s better to seize the chance for war profit.

"Okay, I’ll start refining the elixirs as soon as possible!"
