Generous Rewards

The Star Gazing Platform was still surrounded by an array.

Directly above, at the highest and farthest point, was the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star was concentrating on his cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star opened his eyes, and the vast starry sky flashed by.

This time, Su Bai didn't go to look, but instead bowed slightly, preparing to perform the proper greeting.

Unexpectedly, a gentle force swiftly arrived, lifting Su Bai up.

It's alright.

"You have done an indispensable job in resolving such a pressing crisis for our Heavenly Star Alliance."

"You may freely enter and exit the Star Gazing Platform from now on, and you do not need to bow to me when you see me."

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, but remained calm and listened quietly to what the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star had to say next.

"There's no need to mention your future control of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion. I was quite satisfied with your answer at the time, which stated your unwavering loyalty to the Heavenly Star Alliance."

"But now, I must ask again: if your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul, will your ambitions still remain in this Demon Star Sea realm?"

"Rest assured, this is a personal question I'm asking you. Please speak freely."

Upon hearing this question, Su Bai's mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged.

Although it was a personal issue, as mentioned by the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.

But this only means that the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star can say this; Su Bai may not be able to think of it so simply.

However, this way of asking the question naturally doesn't give Su Bai much time to think, otherwise he would seem too calculating and arouse suspicion.

"To be frank, this junior's ambition truly lies beyond the Demon Star Sea."

Even if I were lucky enough to break through to the Spirit Transformation Nascent Soul in this lifetime, my chances of reaching the Deity stage would be slim.

"The heavens and earth have towering peaks, scattered throughout the Major Cultivation Worlds. A Lifespan on the Immortal Path is a thousand years; how could one not venture to these towering peaks?"

"But fallen leaves eventually return home, and I too will eventually return to my roots. The Heavenly Star Alliance will always be my home."

As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star, who had been testing the waters, was momentarily dazed, though he quickly recovered.

"What a magnificent place! Even fallen leaves have their way home..."

Old Ancestor Heavenly Star Old Ancestor Heavenly Star for a moment, seemingly because Su Bai's words had stirred a slight State of Mind in his heart.

The Old Ancestor ultimately skipped over the topic and stated directly:

"In that case, once you reach the Nascent Soul, you will be granted the position of the second Vice Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Star Alliance, concurrently serving as the Pavilion Master of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, leading the Heavenly Star Alliance 'Dao of Alchemy path to other Cultivation World. Are you willing?"

Su Bai's heart stirred, but he didn't rush to express his gratitude, because it seemed that the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star hadn't finished speaking.

"This is certainly not just empty talk."

"In addition, this is also to reward you for your contribution to the Heavenly Star Alliance."

"When you reach the Peak Golden Core, the Heavenly Star Alliance will provide you with a Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill."

Su Bai naturally knew just how precious the Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill was. "Junior Lu Jiu thanks Old Ancestor for his kindness!"

Old Ancestor Heavenly Star nodded slightly. "In that case, you should rest for now. You've had a hard time these past few days."

"This junior takes his leave!" Su Bai bowed again and left the Star Gazing Platform.

The Old Ancestor Heavenly Star's form shifted, seemingly transforming into Tian Xing, while he murmured, "Fallen leaves, stars..."

As soon as Su Bai left the Star Gazing Platform, he received Transmit Message from True Man He, instructing him to come see him immediately.

Although he didn't know what it was about, Su Bai didn't delay. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived at the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing his Master, True Man He, Su Bai was immediately sized up.

This was clearly due to the smooth progress of Su Bai's trip, which also resolved the issue of the spirit medicine during the transition period.

If it were True Man He himself, he would never have been able to do that.

The more outstanding his Disciple, the prouder he naturally became as his master. The more True Man He, the more he felt that his choice to take Su Bai as his disciple was absolutely correct.

"Master, what is it...?" Su Bai felt a chill run down his spine as True Man He stared at him, and asked in a low voice.

True Man He finally realized something was amiss, withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, and then remembered his business.

After listening to his Master's words, Su Bai finally understood why True Man He was in such a hurry.

Yesterday, Ancient Turtle Tribe of the Sea Star City clan, a Demon General Level Yuan Turtle, delivered a batch of spirit medicine and made a fuss upon arriving at the Profound Pill Market.

He insisted on meeting the most authoritative Alchemist in Heavenly Star City.

Hearing the commotion, Wei Chun went to check on the spirit medicine, but was blasted out of the Profound Pill Market by the Yuan Turtle.

Then Ying Luo went to check on things, but she didn't receive a friendly response either.

It wasn't until True Man He Crane himself made his appearance that the spirit medicine was revealed.

The lowest grade of these Sea Spirit Medicine were all Fourth Tier, and there were quite a few Fifth Rank- and sixth-tier ones as well!

Moreover, they were all of excellent quality and looked as if they had just been picked.

There are even several types that even True Man He has never heard of!

True Man He was about to ask the Demon General Realm Yuan Turtle what price it intended to sell these spirit medicine for.

To everyone's surprise, the Yuan Turtle simply shoved the spirit medicine into True Man He's hand and then swaggered off to leave Profound Pill Market.

They were saying something... "We've just arrived in Human Race territory, and we're planning to have some fun."

True Man He looked bewildered and naturally followed up to ask what the spirit medicine meant.

It would have been better not to ask, because once the Demon General Yuan Gui looked at True Man He, his eyes suddenly filled with vigilance.

They refused to believe that True Man He was the Pavilion Master of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, and tried to snatch back the Sea Spirit Medicine that True Man He had already obtained.

It was only after numerous Alchemist from the Profound Pill Market vouched for him that True Man He the Pavilion Master the Pill Pavilion.

Yuan Gui then stopped paying attention, saying that the Pill Pavilion Master might not have reached that level yet, and that True Man He should ask the "Heavenly Star Alliance Envoy" for details, since he himself was just a medicine deliveryman.

After saying that, he started strolling around Heavenly Star City on his own, without taking a single Spirit Stone from beginning to end.

True Man He encountered a batch of high-grade Sea Spirit Medicine, he was naturally completely bewildered.

The envoy from the Heavenly Star Alliance, isn't that his own Personal Disciple, Lu Jiu...?

But he also knew that after Lu Jiu completed the Sea Tribe contract, he had even more important plans in Demon Star City.

He never sent Transmit Message to disturb them, but simply kept these top-quality spirit medicine safe and sound.

Only today, upon learning that his good disciple had just returned to the Heavenly Star Alliance, did he hastily send this Transmit Message.

After hearing the whole story, Su Bai was actually quite taken aback.

He remembered the time he had agreed upon with Elder Yuan Cang; the first delivery was supposed to be in about three days. Why was it brought forward?

However, he still explained the reasons to his Master True Man He, in detail.

It also displayed the Alliance Contract signed with the Ancient Turtle Tribe, stamped with the blood seal of the Ancient Turtle Tribe's Great Elder.

Seeing True Man He was greatly shocked.

"Provide Star Luo Pill Pavilion with high-grade Sea Spirit Medicine for seven years, free of charge?"

After hearing Su Bai's words, even with the State of Mind of a seasoned Golden Core Alchemist like Master True Man He, he couldn't help but ask a question.

Su Bai nodded in confirmation, "Seven years from now, the Ancient Turtle Tribe will take 50% of the Sea Spirit Pill refined from the High-grade Spirit Medicine provided."

"This deal is quite profitable for our Star Luo Pill Pavilion."
