Chapter 241: Is Your Mount Proper?
Inside the floating giant ship.
Mu Yinghua and a group of elders were inspecting the magnificent warehouse area. Various boxes, shimmering with faintly sealed spiritual light, filled every corner of their vision. There were also large pieces of azure blue ice crystals, several zhang in size, containing the bodies of various high-level spirit beasts. Among them were Great Monsters at the Immortal Transformation, Immortal Ascension, and even Origin Immortal and True Immortal levels. These were all high-grade ingredients or materials for refining medicine.
"...With our large-scale purchasing operation, it is possible that it will attract the attention of certain forces in another year or so, even if we have done our best to keep it secret," Immortal Lord Huan Die said. This unprecedented procurement plan could not leave no trace, especially at this critical moment of calamity.
During times of continuous warfare, resource shortages and soaring prices were inevitable. Now, the high-levels of various major sects were carefully examining their assets, preparing to live frugally. However, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was able to go against the norm and bring out a massive amount of Supreme Grade spiritual crystals for purchasing. They would buy whatever they liked, and it was impossible not to attract the attention of those who were interested after a long period of time.
Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment and said, "We can't hide it. We never intended to keep it a secret for long. As long as we can ensure that our recent actions are not disturbed, it's fine."
The teams sent out for procurement were composed of high-level female immortals from the sect. They also changed their appearances and used secret divine abilities to shield themselves from prying eyes, ensuring that their true identities and origins would not be discovered.
Similar situations were common in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Many major forces liked to handle such shady business in a low-key and secretive manner. Therefore, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's behavior would not attract special attention at first.
However, when the frequency became high enough and the scale became extremely exaggerated, it was only natural to be targeted. Especially for those organizations specialized in selling confidential information, they were always extremely sensitive to such news.
That's why Mu Yinghua said that the goal was to ensure that nothing happened in the next few years, allowing Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace to successfully complete their plan of enriching their strategic reserves.
Passing by a dense wall-like row of large boxes, Mu Yinghua casually waved her hand, and a large cloud-patterned purple nanmu wood box floated lightly over, hovering in front of the female cultivators.
As the lid of the box opened, a brilliant and colorful light overflowed. Inside were exquisitely beautiful sword sheaths, all of the same size, neatly arranged, exactly one hundred in total.
Mu Yinghua casually picked up one and gently drew it out. The sword's bright blade was like a pool of autumn water, pure and clear, exuding a sharp sword aura, with a faintly beautiful radiance lingering around it.
This was a top-grade Treasure Weapon-level flying sword, made with exquisite materials and refined craftsmanship. It was usually suitable for core disciples from the Perfected Being Realm to the Heart Demon Realm to use.
According to the list handed over by Immortal Lord Huan Die to the Sect Master Supreme, just the number of these top-quality Treasure Weapon flying swords purchased this time amounts to millions. Without significantly expanding the number of core disciples, it can meet the sect's needs for tens of thousands of years. As for other grades and categories of Treasure Weapons and Spiritual Weapons, the quantity is no less than millions.
Mu Yinghua nodded slightly, put the sword box back, and continued to the next storage area. Here, there were various disposable Law Weapons and talismans piled up.
Immortal Lord Huan Die casually took out a box made of golden silk and bright sandalwood, opened it, and took out several black pellets the size of eggs, handing them to Mu Yinghua to examine.
"This is the Five Ghosts Geng Jin Zi Mu Lei. When stimulated by a specific method, its power can inflict heavy damage on ordinary Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension realm cultivators' physical bodies and divine souls within a range of hundreds of miles, posing a sufficient threat to Origin Immortals as well."
This kind of disposable Law Weapon, which consumes a considerable amount in large-scale battles, Immortal Lord Huan Die directly purchased over a hundred billion of them, basically emptying the Cloud Dream Market's inventory.
Although the Cloud Dream Market gained unimaginable profits from this sweeping operation, it also left them with almost depleted stocks of all kinds of goods. Even if the backers behind the Cloud Dream Market mobilize their millions of alchemists and craftsmen day and night, it would take decades to restore the previous inventory scale.
Of course, cultivators have long lifespans, and a few decades are nothing. Can those who engage in business complain that their own business is too good to handle?
Moreover, Immortal Lord Huan Die is just one of the many purchasing teams. Similar teams bring back massive amounts of finished resources to the sect's headquarters every day, carried by astonishingly large fleets of floating ships and multi-storied heavenly boats.
The vast and boundless Extreme Void Starry Sky still has tens of thousands of Daoist forces surviving, accounting for only about thirty percent of the previous absolute number. Among them, there are still tens of thousands of forces specializing in the cultivation business.
"...Let's continue stocking up! As long as the sect's warehouses are full, even if those high-level figures of those major forces realize that it was our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's doing, what can they do?"
Mu Yinghua chuckled, and the surrounding female immortals agreed. The overall strength of the sect is not comparable to the past. All the injured and dormant elders have recovered, and there are also a large number of mid-level female cultivators who have successfully transcended tribulation. Coupled with the repair of many sect treasures, any hostile forces that come knocking will inevitably be defeated.
"By the way, this time the fleet brought back millions of cultivator slaves. Their cultivation levels are passable. Sect Master, how do you plan to arrange them?" Immortal Lord Huan Die asked.
Mu Yinghua thought for a moment and said, "Let's handle it according to the usual practice. After identifying their identities, assign them to work in those mines, pill refining workshops, and weapon workshops. The sect is currently in great need of manpower."
Immortal Lord Huan Die agreed. There are many reasons why cultivators become slaves, but there is no need to delve into them. However, they are very useful when it comes to doing tasks that ordinary mortals are unable to handle.
Moreover, due to the tradition of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, male cultivator slaves are not allowed to enter the sect's headquarters. They are usually thrown into remote territories to do the most arduous, dirtiest, and most tiring work, never seeing the light of day in their lifetime.
Slaves who can enter the main hall of the sect are all female cultivators. The tasks assigned to them are usually easier, and those who perform well have the chance to regain their freedom. Of course, this requires years and decades of hard work and dedication.
In the Illusory Mist Secret Realm.
After getting enough rest, Qin Muling boarded the flying cloud platform again and left the floating giant ship with the company of his senior sisters. They toured around, enjoying the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. Although this area is considered a desolate region, the scenery is truly impressive, with some magnificent and exquisite views that are rarely seen even in the main hall of the sect.
"...Junior brother, can you not use this Law Weapon when you go out in the future?"
Little Phoenix Fengxia leaned against Qin Muling, her fiery red fairy dress outlining her curvaceous figure. Her enchanting eyes were filled with rippling autumn water as she said in a coquettish voice, "I am your official mount, but since I returned to the sect, you haven't ridden me yet!"
"Uh..."
Qin Muling couldn't help but frown. What she said... Is this mount of hers serious?
The senior sisters around also glanced at each other. It seems that this little phoenix is not easy to deal with, always finding ways to seduce the junior brother! Whether it's riding during the day or at night, or both, it's hard to say.
"Alright, if there's a chance in the future... it's possible."
Qin Muling vaguely replied. It's enough to understand this in his heart, there's no need to be too explicit.
"But don't just brush me off! At least when you cultivate in the future, bring me along, okay?"
Fengxia pouted, always feeling resentful that the senior sisters and Qin Muling would cultivate together without including her. She must be doing something indescribable. Why couldn't she join them?
Qin Muling hesitated for a moment before relenting, "Discuss it with the senior sister. If she agrees, then it's fine."
"Very well, it's settled then!"
Fengxia smiled with a bend in her eyebrows and eyes, unable to contain her joy.
Seeing Fengxia's expression, the radiant Princess Long Yi pursed her cherry lips and exchanged a subtle glance with Su Yuanzhen.
Since the junior brother has a mount, doesn't that mean she can... use the excuse of needing a mount to arrange for another helper to come?
It would be best if the helper's cultivation level is not too high, but outstanding in other aspects. If she performs well, her own faction will no longer be isolated. That's what Princess Long Yi thought.
Wearing a light yellow palace dress, with high coiled hair and a gentle and elegant demeanor, Xue Bingxuan smiled and said, "Junior brother, we are already close to the Mysterious Immortal realm. How about taking us back together next time and coming back after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation?"
With uninterrupted dual cultivation, Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan, as well as Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Huan, have all reached the peak of True Immortal. Even Fengxia has achieved this, thanks to awakening her ancient bloodline.
Only Luo Wanqing and Yu Binghua entered the sect later, so their cultivation progress is slightly behind. They still need some time to reach the level of True Immortal perfection.
"Well, that shouldn't be a problem."
Qin Muling said, looking at Yu Lingzhou. He needed to temporarily leave the Illusory Mist Secret Realm and didn't know if it would affect the female cultivators who were busy searching for resources here. So he had to ask for the opinion of this Elder Yu Lingzhou.
Yu Lingzhou blinked her beautiful eyes and pondered, "As long as you return after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, there shouldn't be a problem. So go quickly and come back quickly!"
She was worried that if Qin Muling stayed away for too long, they would lose his unparalleled luck protection, and who knows what unexpected things might happen in this desolate area that no one has set foot in for millions of years?
Qin Muling naturally understood her concerns and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be back within three days at most. There won't be any problems."
The reason why the senior sisters were eager to transcend the Tribulation and advance to the Mysterious Immortal realm was because of Princess Long Yi. After all, she and Su Yuanzhen both had Golden Immortal cultivation, but their status and influence were not yet significant due to being newcomers. However, that might change over time.
In order to ensure their position in Qin Muling's heart, Xue Bingxuan and the others couldn't afford to slack off. Only by catching up with Princess Long Yi's cultivation progress as soon as possible could they truly feel at ease.
