Chapter 55: Supreme Elders
Translator: 549690339
“I obtained this Yang Recovery Grass by accident. I wonder if Fellow Taoist is satisfied with it.”
Before everyone’s eyes, Zhang Yuan somewhat begrudgingly took out a White Jade Box from his Storage Ring, opened it, and revealed a golden and peculiarly fragrant herb to everyone present.
“Yang Recovery Grass!”
Seeing the golden herb that emitted a fragrance that made people feel energized just by smelling it, Elder Wu and others all gasped in amazement, revealing a fervent expression.
Yang Recovery Grass was a 4th Tier Treasure Herb, a Healing Treasure
Medicine. Even if a Spiritual Realm expert suffered serious injuries, consuming this grass could help them recover in a very short time; it could be considered a life-saving holy item.
If the Yang Recovery Grass was used as the main ingredient to refine a furnace of Yang Recovery Elixir, the healing effect would be even more astonishing. Even Spiritual Realm experts would go crazy for it.
Of course, the Yang Recovery Grass and Yang Recovery Elixir also had an extraordinary side effect – they possessed an astonishing effect in fortifying Yang, which was an ability countless men dreamt of.
It could be said that the value of Yang Recovery Grass was difficult to measure and was even more valuable than the Spirit Realm Elixirs.
Although Spirit Realm Elixirs were valuable, they could only enhance one’s cultivation by a small realm, and were useless after the second use. Moreover, they could only help those below the Spiritual Realm Seventh Tier.
However, Yang Recovery Grass could potentially be a second life for Spiritual Realm experts, incomparable in value to Spirit Realm Elixirs.
“The Sect Master is really generous,” a disciple muttered under his breath.
Upon hearing this, the others were all rendered speechless.
Generous? Just for an apology, Yang Recovery Grass was used as compensation. This indicated that the Sect Master wanted to win over Senior Wang Ping.
However, this was understandable. With such a young 4th Tier Alchemist, his value was hard to estimate. It was normal to offer Yang Recovery Grass to win him over, even if something more valuable were offered instead.
“The Sect Master is really generous.” As for Zhang Yuan taking out the Yang Recovery Grass, Wang Ping didn’t seem surprised. He took the grass and bowed slightly. “I admire you.”
“I’m glad you like it, Master. Later, I will discuss it with the Supreme Elders so you can get a Supreme Elder position. If all goes well, I’ll announce it to the entire sect tomorrow and appoint you as a Supreme Elder and hold a grand banquet in your honor.”
Seeing Wang Ping didn’t seem to have any intention of blaming him anymore, Zhang Yuan showed a smile and spoke.
“Thank you, Sect Master.” Wang Ping smiled, responding.
“Fellow Taoist, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. As the Sect Master, I will definitely make sure everything is done properly for you,” Zhang Yuan said warmly and enthusiastically, trying his best to win Wang Ping over.
“Of course.” Wang Ping took a deep look at Zhang Yuan and nodded.
“Elder Wu, according to the rules of our Sword Spirit Sect, how should I dispose of the Spirit Realm Elixirs that I have refined?”
Next, Wang Ping suddenly looked at Elder Wu and asked knowingly.
“Well…” Elder Wu glanced at the Sect Master and reluctantly replied, “Fellow Taoist, according to our sect’s rules, if the elixirs were refined by the master using his own materials, they fully belong to the master. However, if they were refined using the sect’s herbs, it would be divided in half.”
“Haha, this indeed is the sect’s rules. But everything has exceptions.” Right after Elder Wu finished speaking, Zhang Yuan laughed and said, “Fellow Taoist has traveled a long way to join our Sword Spirit Sect. If we were to be so petty over these small matters, it would be beneath the dignity of our sect.”
“Therefore, Fellow Taoist, this Spirit Realm Elixir belongs to you.” Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Ping and continued, “I believe no one else would have any objections. ”
“Thank you, Sect Master.” Wang Ping smiled lightly, putting the White Jade Box in his Storage Ring.
This Zhang Yuan was indeed doing everything he could to win him over.
Having said that, this guy didn’t know that he had information on the greedy
Chi Clan people.
If he did know, he would definitely take action, right?
Next, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, “By the way, Fellow Taoist, you’ve just arrived at the Sword Spirit Sect and have no place to stay, right? Since I have some free time now, let me help you find the best residence and familiarize you with our sect’s various pavilions.”
“Thank you, Sect Master.” Wang Ping nodded.
Afterward, Zhang Yuan led Wang Ping out of the Alchemy Room, talking amiably with him all the way, trying to deepen their relationship.”This Zhang Yuan is ruthless and deep-minded. In the face of his insufficient strength, one must be careful while dealing with him.”
Wang Ping stood on the balcony of the classical pavilion Zhang Yuan had selected for him, squinting as he watched Zhang Yuan fly away with his sword.
In the Sect Master Hall, Zhang Yuan had summoned all the Supreme Elders and Inner Sect Elders, and told them about Wang Ping joining the sect.
Everyone was shocked.
None of the elders had thought that a 4th-tier genius alchemist would actually take the initiative to join their sect. It was like a pie falling from the sky! “This is really heaven’s blessing for our Sword Spirit Sect.”
“A Spiritual Realm expert in their seventies and also a 4th-tier alchemist is simply unheard of.”
“Yes, as far as I know, the fastest person to become a 4th-tier Alchemist in
history was around 100 years old. And besides, Wang Ping is not just an
ordinary alchemist.”
“Tsk, tsk. With such a genius joining our sect, the Sword Spirit Sect will continue to prosper. If one day he can advance to the 5th tier, our sect will become even more prosperous – it’s just too incredible to imagine.”
“Reaching the 5th tier is too challenging, as one has to reach the Transcendent Realm with their cultivation. Furthermore, his talent is also limited. Of course, the main reason is that the Profound Turtle Continent currently lacks the necessary conditions for giving birth to Transcendent Realm experts.”
“It’s okay if he doesn’t become a 5th-tier Alchemist. Having an additional genius alchemist in the sect will still make our Sword Spirit Sect more prosperous.”
The Supreme Elders were discussing animatedly.
They were familiar with the Sword Spirit Sect’s own 4th-tier Alchemist.
Unfortunately, the latter was rarely in the sect as he sought any possible opportunity to break through to the 5th tier.
As a result, their sect had a severe shortage of 4th-tier elixirs.
Sometimes, they even had to purchase them from the Xia Royal Family or the Medicinal Alliance, which was somewhat embarrassing.
However, there was no other choice, since 4th-tier Alchemists were extremely rare throughout the Great Xia. There were only three of them in total: one in their Sword Spirit Sect, one in the Xia Royal Family, and another in the Medicinal Alliance.
Now, with an additional 4th-tier Alchemist, they were naturally overjoyed. As long as they offered him sufficient benefits, they could have hope of obtaining precious 4th-tier Elixirs.
Whether it was for cultivation assistance or healing, they would have everything they need.
“Sect Master, you did well in promising Wang Ping the title of Supreme Elder.” The Second Supreme Elder said with a smile all over his face.
He was also from the Sword Spirit Sect’s Zhang Family faction, and naturally felt satisfied with the actions of his juniors.
The position of Supreme Elder was not something the Sect Master could simply appoint, it had to be determined by the Supreme Elders themselves during a meeting.
In other words, Zhang Yuan had exceeded his authority.
By doing so, he managed to recruit Wang Ping first, which brought great benefits to their faction.
If it had been any other time, the other factions’ Supreme Elders would have been unhappy about such an unauthorized act.
However, considering someone like Wang Ping joining, he was definitely due the position of Supreme Elder, so the other Supreme Elders did not have much to say.
“Elders, prepare your gifts ahead of tomorrow’s banquet celebrating the joining of Wang Ping as a Supreme Elder. It will help you get familiar with him and secure Wang Elder’s alchemy services in the future.”
Zhang Yuan said, his face glowing with excitement, speaking to everyone present.
All those present nodded, pondering over what would make a suitable gift.
