Chapter 320 - 267: Different Rewards
The Purple Mist Sect has already saved the Celestial Cloud Sect once.
The Celestial Demon Sect did not want this to happen a second time. If another Core Formation Stage battle were to break out, they would seek help from a Demon Nascent Soul Influence.
This influence would help them block any rescue attempts from the Purple Mist Sect.
"This mysterious Spirit Refiner must be hiding within the Celestial Cloud Sect. Once you attack the Celestial Cloud Sect with us and wipe them out, everything will be clear."
"Hall Master Jiang, the way you say it makes it sound like the Celestial Cloud Sect is easy to destroy." The Demon Spirit Sect Leader shook his head.
Destroying a Core Formation Influence with a Spirit Refiner is no easy task. If it were, the Celestial Cloud Sect would have been eliminated long ago instead of surviving for over a thousand years.
Even if they could destroy the Celestial Cloud Sect by paying any price, they would surely suffer devastating losses. That was clearly not a worthy trade.
After all, another Core Formation Influence bordering the Celestial Cloud Sect was the Black Ghost Cave, which cultivated Yin Power.
Besides, as a fellow Demon Cultivation Core Formation Influence, the Demon Spirit Sect’s conflict with the Celestial Cloud Sect was much smaller than the Celestial Demon Sect’s.
"The Celestial Demon Sect alone certainly cannot destroy the Celestial Cloud Sect. But if your Demon Spirit Sect were to deal with the Celestial Cloud Sect alongside us, it would be much easier." At this, Jiang Yingtian smiled. "Sect Leader Luo, with a mysterious Spirit Refiner like this emerging from the Celestial Cloud Sect, what are you still hesitating for?"
The purpose of Jiang Yingtian’s visit to the Demon Spirit Sect this time was just as he said: he hoped the Demon Spirit Sect would commit its full strength to dealing with the Celestial Cloud Sect.
The threat of the mysterious Spirit Refiner was an excellent talking point.
"Hall Master Jiang, many matters are not for me, the Sect Leader, to decide. They require the judgment of the Supreme Elders."
The Demon Spirit Sect Leader only believed half of what Jiang Yingtian said.
’Where did this mysterious Spirit Refiner actually come from? I doubt the Celestial Demon Sect has figured that out yet.’
’Besides, there’s another key point: if we destroy the Celestial Cloud Sect, can we guarantee we’ll eliminate the mysterious Spirit Refiner?’
’Even if the mysterious Spirit Refiner is an Elder of the Celestial Cloud Sect, the sect could hide him, or even send him to hide in another sect. It’s not like that’s impossible.’
Therefore, in the Demon Spirit Sect Leader’s view, destroying the Celestial Cloud Sect did not guarantee the elimination of the mysterious Spirit Refiner.
Still, the mysterious Spirit Refiner was indeed a problem.
It seemed three of the Celestial Demon Sect’s vassal Foundation Establishment Influences had fallen at the hands of this mysterious Spirit Refiner.
"Then, Sect Leader Luo, what are your thoughts?"
"Me? I certainly think it would be best if the mysterious Spirit Refiner could be eliminated. We absolutely cannot let him grow stronger."
"Well, isn’t that enough?" Jiang Yingtian continued with a smile. "As long as you have that intention, Sect Leader Luo, that’s all that matters. However, to eliminate the mysterious Spirit Refiner, or even just to lure him out, your Demon Spirit Sect will have to step out of the shadows and into the open to deal with the Celestial Cloud Sect alongside us."
He couldn’t get the Demon Spirit Sect to use its full strength against the Celestial Cloud Sect.
But at the very least, he had to get them to come out of the shadows and draw enough of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s attention.
"These are all matters that need to be discussed."
"Then I will await your good news, Sect Leader Luo."
The Demon Spirit Sect Leader delayed giving an answer, and Jiang Yingtian didn’t press him.
He felt that the Demon Spirit Sect Leader genuinely believed the mysterious Spirit Refiner needed to be dealt with. As long as he held that view, Jiang Yingtian was confident he would receive good news from the Demon Spirit Sect soon.
With the topic of the mysterious Spirit Refiner concluded, Jiang Yingtian proactively brought up other matters, feigning concern about the current situation between the Demon Spirit Sect and the Ghost-Controlling Sect.
...
「It was the first month of the year.」
「Celestial Cloud Sect, Artifact Casting Peak.」
At this very moment, Fang Yun was in the Alchemy Room of his cave residence, refining Primordial Spirit Pills.
More than two years and seven months had passed since he first began refining Primordial Spirit Pills.
The batch of Primordial Spirit Pills he was currently refining was his twenty-fourth.
The main Spirit Medicine for this batch of Primordial Spirit Pills was of good quality, and most of the auxiliary Spirit Medicines were as well. If this batch yielded seven top-grade Primordial Spirit Pills, it would mean that even if he hadn’t yet perfected the refining process for Primordial Spirit Pills, he was very close.
’With my Alchemy Talent, it would only take one more batch,’ he thought.
The pill condensation process succeeded.
His twenty-fourth batch of Primordial Spirit Pills was officially complete.
Fang Yun examined the results of his refining.
’Just as I thought. Seven top-grade Primordial Spirit Pills.’
Of these seven top-grade Primordial Spirit Pills, he would receive three as a reward.
A single lower-grade Spirit Ascension Pill provided only 105 base Talent Points, whereas a single lower-grade Primordial Spirit Pill provided 450 base Talent Points.
A top-grade Primordial Spirit Pill provided 1,620 base Talent Points.
This single batch of Primordial Spirit Pills he just refined would grant him over 11,000 base Talent Points, which was quite good.
The difference was only a little over 6,000 base Talent Points compared to refining a single top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
This batch of Primordial Spirit Pills, combined with the twenty-third, had provided him with a total of over 100,000 Talent Points for the month.
’I can try refining the Five Qi Chao Ling Pill now... A Third-Tier pill. The Talent Points it provides might be a huge increase.’
Fang Yun compared Tier One pills with Second-Tier pills.
Among Tier One pills, even the easy-to-refine ones, a lower-grade pill only offered single-digit Talent Points. For Second-Tier pills, the base amount was in the triple digits. As for Third-Tier pills, he would only know after completing the refining and seeing the results.
Fang Yun certainly hoped for as many Talent Points as possible upon settlement. A single lower-grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pill was sure to provide a base amount in the four-digit range.
A lower-grade Five Qi Chao Ling Pill versus a lower-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although the former was a Third-Tier pill and the latter was a Second-Tier pill, because of the number of pills produced per batch, it was difficult for the former to compete with the latter.
