"Immortal Spirit Water? Immortal Spirit Water that can condense an Immortal Spirit Body?" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly stood up, his eyes burning as he stared intently at Gan Feng. He was finally shocked. This Immortal Spirit Water was extremely secretive in the Immortal Realm. Only those who had just become immortals were granted a single drop. However, to truly become a complete Immortal Spirit Body, three drops were required. Unfortunately, only disciples of some powerful forces in the Immortal Realm could possess three drops at once.

The reason why Loose Immortal must undergo three Loose Immortal Tribulations to attain the strength of Heavenly Immortal is that only by passing through three Heavenly Tribulation can Loose Immortal condense into a Celestial Spirit Body! The effect of one Loose Immortal Tribulation is equivalent to a drop of Immortal Spirit Water. If disciples of the Tianxin Sect use Substitute Stone in the future, although they can continue cultivating in the Cultivation World, they will cultivate very slowly without Immortal Spirit Water, since a Celestial Spirit Body gathers Celestial Essence Power much faster.

Gan Feng had anticipated Zhang Xingfeng's reaction. He leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip, and thought to himself, "There are already over five hundred Nine Heavens Profound Immortal above. It's roughly one Great Luo Golden Immortal reaching the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm every ten years. Add to that the rewards of some Great Luo Golden Immortal and a hundred Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and our sect can probably be prosperous for a long time. Hahaha... This Immortal Spirit Water is practically worthless to the major powers of the Immortal Realm. Disciples of these major powers are given three drops from the start, and they don't need Immortal Spirit Water anymore. Only newly arrived, low-ranking immortals in the Immortal Realm receive one drop, and even they..." "They simply can't afford it. Although the price is very cheap, one immortal crystal can be exchanged for 100 drops, but how could those newly arrived ordinary immortals possibly have immortal crystals? In the immortal realm, Immortal Spirit Water is also sold in units of 100 drops at a time... Hahaha... Hmm... What price should I offer Zhang Xingfeng this time? I guess he'd buy it even for one immortal crystal per drop, since there's no Immortal Spirit Water in this Cultivation World, not even in the City of Heavenly Chasm! Hmm... What a dilemma, what price should I offer this guy?" Gan Feng sipped his tea, his brows furrowed, seemingly troubled.

Zhang Xingfeng was so anxious he was jumping up and down. He now knew just how despicable Gan Feng was. At this moment, he was slowly sipping tea, even wearing a troubled expression. However, Zhang Xingfeng knew that he couldn't afford to offend Gan Feng now. The Immortal Spirit Water was far too important to the Tianxin Sect; it was arguably the foundation upon which the Immortal Spirit Water Tianxin Sect was built to become a major sect.

It took Gan Feng a while to snap out of his sweet reverie. The moment he came to, he saw Zhang Xingfeng staring at him with eyes red like a bull's. Startled, he quickly chuckled and said, "Um... True Person, this... this matter of the Immortal Spirit Water, have you thought it through?" Gan Feng felt a surge of shame and anger. "Oh dear, I was so happy just now, I lost track of time thinking about it... Oh dear, that was too much, too much!"

Zhang Xingfeng took a deep breath, tried to relax the muscles on his face, and put on a smiling expression. He said, "Elder Gan Feng, of course, of course I've thought it through. Do I need to think about such a thing? Hahaha... Tell me, Elder Gan Feng, what is the price of this Immortal Spirit Water? However, I do know that the price in the Immortal Realm is 100 drops per Immortal Crystal!" Zhang Xingfeng blinked and stared at Gan Feng.

Gan Feng was taken aback. Zhang Xingfeng had actually told him he knew the price of Immortal Spirit Water in the Immortal Realm. Zhang Xingfeng's eyes remained fixed on Gan Feng, as if to say, "Hehe, kid, I know the market price. In the Immortal Realm, it's 100 drops for one Immortal Crystal. And that's the price for ordinary immortals. I reckon it's even cheaper for larger powers like the Bright Sun Sect in the Immortal Realm. Don't go too far with the price!"

Gan Feng was stunned. He didn't know what to say. He had originally planned to give Zhang Xingfeng a good dressing down, but what should he do now? Should he still do what he had in mind—10 drops for one immortal crystal? Would that displease Zhang Xingfeng? After all, Zhang Xingfeng's backing was too strong. His sect had said: there could be no disrespect whatsoever! Yes, not even politeness!

"Ah... haha... this... True Person really are well-informed, you even know the prices in the Immortal Realm... hahaha..." Gan Feng was still trying to dodge the question, but inwardly he was wailing. "What price should I use? What price should I use? When my sect was buying goods, it was 200 drops per immortal crystal. Now... well... never mind, I'll try to win him over!" Gan Feng had already made his decision.

"True Person, you know how expensive things are in the Immortal Realm. Tell me, what price should I offer you? After all, this thing is extremely precious in the Cultivation World!" Gan Feng put on a very serious expression.

Several thoughts raced through Zhang Xingfeng's mind, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "I can't let Gan Feng suffer too much of a loss. How about 50 drops per immortal crystal?" Given Zhang Xingfeng's character, how could he be willing to suffer a loss? However, the management of Immortal Spirit Water in the immortal realm is too strict. It is not allowed to bring it down to the Cultivation World. Only the seven major sects, with their strong sect backing, can bring it down.

Gan Feng immediately put on an angry expression. "True Person Xingfeng, how could you do this? Do you think I, Gan Feng, am such a greedy person? Fine, I've decided on 90 drops per immortal crystal, only slightly more expensive than in the Immortal Realm! What do you say?"

Zhang Xingfeng was secretly delighted, thinking to himself, "This Gan Feng seems to be a true brother, being so generous!" He immediately said, "Alright, in that case, let's switch!"

Gan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Not bad. 90 drops of one immortal crystal is still a profit for the sect. After all, the sect's cost is 200 drops of one immortal crystal, so we've made more than double the profit!"

With a wave of his hands, Zhang Xingfeng caused the entire garden to burst into a kaleidoscope of colors, with seven-colored light visible everywhere. Countless Top-grade Immortal Artifact, radiating powerful immortal energy, appeared in the garden, including the most precious immortal swords, as well as some heavy hammer-shaped and spear-shaped ones, and so on!

Gan Feng stared wide-eyed at all of this— Top-grade Immortal Artifact! One hundred of them!

Gan Feng spoke lightly, but he had never seen so many at once before. You must know that the important task of managing immortal artifacts is handled by Immortal Monarch, and most of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal are equipped with Top-grade Immortal Artifact. If he hadn't come to the Cultivation World, how could his sect have given him a divine artifact?

Gan Feng seemed to realize his embarrassment instantly; Zhang Xingfeng was right there! He immediately took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhang Xingfeng, and laughed, "I really didn't expect that True Person would carry so many divine artifacts with him! It truly astonished Gan Feng!" He cleverly attributed his earlier shock to the fact that Zhang Xingfeng would carry so many divine artifacts, cleverly concealing the real reason for his astonishment.

But Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself, "Heh heh, kid, have you never seen so many immortal artifacts before? You're so naive, do you think I can't tell the difference?" Of course, Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't let Gan Feng embarrass himself.

"Elder Gan Feng, since that's the case, let's make the deal. These 100 Top-grade Immortal Artifact will cost 10,000 immortal crystals, which is equivalent to 90 drops of Immortal Spirit Water!" Zhang Xingfeng was excited. "Ah, 900,000 drops! Three drops per person, that's enough for 300,000 disciples. How could there be so many disciples who become immortals? Even Substitute Stone probably don't have that many. 300,000... that seems like too much!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xingfeng's words, Gan Feng was startled. Only then did he realize that so much Immortal Spirit Water was needed. "Oh dear, this is terrible! I was planning to get 10 drops for 1 Immortal Crystal, but the entire Bright Sun Sect only has 800,000 drops right now. What am I going to do now? I can't come up with any more. Am I going to lose face?" Gan Feng was in a very awkward situation.

"Sigh, why did you pretend to be so generous just now? 50 drops for one immortal crystal was a good deal, but what are we going to do now?" Gan Feng had no choice but to look at Zhang Xingfeng and force a smile. "I'm really sorry, our sect only has 700,000 drops of Immortal Spirit Water right now. I almost forgot, this... this..." Gan Feng said he only had 700,000 drops so that he could leave 100,000 drops for the Bright Sun Sect.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Oh, is that all? No problem, then give me 600,000 drops! And your Bright Sun Sect will need another 100,000 drops later!" 600,000 drops can supply 200,000 immortals, so what's there to worry about? That's more than enough!

Gan Feng Zhang Xingfeng's words, Qianfeng felt a little embarrassed. Zhang Xingfeng had already thought of everything for him, leaving behind 100,000 drops. He had just secretly concealed 100,000 drops, and he felt guilty. He immediately said, "How could you do this? How could you let the True Person suffer such a great loss? Tell me, what does the True Person want? Let me see if I can solve it. After all, I still have some influence in the Cultivation World!" Gan Feng only wanted peace of mind.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng immediately pictured his elder brother, Lang Feng. What Lang Feng needed most was a manual for cultivating into a sword immortal. Zhang Xingfeng shamelessly said to Gan Feng, "Elder Gan Feng, to be honest, I really do have something to ask of you!"

"Tell me what it is, and I'll help if I can!" Gan Feng was overjoyed. He had exchanged 60 drops of Immortal Spirit Water for 100 Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and he estimated that his sect would reward him handsomely.

"I have a sworn brother who is now cultivating both Human-Weapon Dual Cultivation. As his brother, I want to help him and help him become a sword immortal!" Zhang Xingfeng felt a little sad. This was not the first time his elder brother had troubled him. How could the secret manual of sword immortality be so easy to obtain?

Upon hearing this, Gan Feng frowned, and Zhang Xingfeng felt a chill in his heart; it seemed this matter was in trouble.

"Gan Feng, if this matter is accomplished, I'll give you another 100 Top-grade Immortal Artifact!" Zhang Xingfeng had gone to such lengths!

Gan Feng finally made his decision, looking at Zhang Xingfeng and saying, "True Person, I know how you feel right now. It's true that only by Human-Weapon Dual Cultivation can one change their fate through sword immortality. Sword immortals are extremely powerful in the immortal realm. However, sword immortals are also the poorest in the immortal realm because the immortal crystals they consume during cultivation are ten times that of immortals of the same strength!"

"Although a Sword Immortal gains the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortal after cultivating for one stage, not many people in the Immortal Realm cultivate this skill. After all, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is useless in the Immortal Realm. The most common type of immortal in the Immortal Realm is the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Most immortals choose to spend 100,000 years cultivating to the Great Luo Golden Immortal! After all, immortal crystals are too precious, and Sword Immortals consume far too many immortal crystals!"

"Even so, for some reason, the price of sword immortal manuals in the Celestial Pavilion of the Immortal Realm is still extremely high, requiring 1,000 immortal crystals for each one!" At this point, Gan Feng was also a little puzzled. Why were sword immortal manuals so expensive?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng immediately exclaimed, "Buy, buy, buy, of course I'll buy! 1000 Immortal Crystals! Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy it, I'll buy it!" Zhang Xingfeng seemed to be losing control of his emotions. His elder brother's long-standing crisis could now be resolved; how could Zhang Xingfeng not be excited?

Gan Feng was taken aback by Zhang Xingfeng's expression. "I never said Zhang Xingfeng should spend 1000 immortal crystals. After all, I have one myself, but..."

"Alright, True Person Xingfeng, since that's the case, I'll help you. I also have a manual for sword immortals here. However, if you want to choose one, you'll have to wait a while. I'll go to the Immortal Realm sometime and buy you a copy!"

Gan Feng and the other Nine Heavens Profound Immortal frequently visit the Immortal Realm, as they all possess Star Brilliance! However, their visits to the Immortal Realm are also clandestine. The passage between the Immortal Realm and the Dead Zone is controlled by seven major powers, and only the Immortal Realm has regulations. Once they have entered the Cultivation World through the Immortal Gate, they cannot return to the Cultivation World if they do so.

Zhang Xingfeng couldn't wait any longer. Who knew when Gan Feng would return? Zhang Xingfeng casually threw away 1,000 immortal crystals, seemingly not caring at all.

Gan Feng stared wide-eyed at Zhang Xingfeng. 1000 Immortal Crystals! He, Gan Feng, was at least a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, yet he only received one Immortal Crystal a year from his sect. After all, Immortal Crystals were incredibly scarce. Last time, when he returned to the Immortal Realm, he received a ten-thousand-year supply of Immortal Crystals from his sect in one go. However, the cultivation of Nine Heavens Profound Immortal consumed Immortal Crystals very quickly, generally requiring several a year. Gan Feng could only endure it, spending one a year and absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, since his fellow disciples were in the same boat.

"1000 immortal crystals all at once, this... this... why not take them!" Gan Feng immediately took the immortal crystals, suppressing his excitement, and took out a Jade Slip from his storage bracelet.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately took it, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, three large characters suddenly appeared in his mind!

"The Sword Immortal Record!"
