A white figure descended from the sky above the island, rushing in amidst the wind and rain; it was Bai Nianyuan.
now.
Bai Nianyuan had a joyful smile on his face. As soon as he entered, he saw the jade bottle that Chen Shuangbai was holding in her right hand, as well as the lingering fragrance of the pill that had not yet completely dissipated in the air.
"But... but did it work?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded, and the young master of White Feather Cave laughed heartily, seemingly going mad, pacing back and forth in the artifact room, clearly overjoyed.
"Excellent! With your help, fellow Daoist, it has truly succeeded!"
Chen Shuangbai understood the man's current feelings, so she simply smiled and remained silent.
After calming his overwhelming joy, Bai Nianyuan reverted to his usual refined and elegant demeanor, bowing deeply to Chen Shuangbai with utmost sincerity. "Fellow Daoist Chen, from this day forward, you are my closest friend, Bai Nianyuan!"
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you take a look at this pill first?"
Chen Shuangbai also had a good haul, and a smile was on her face.
Yes, yes, yes!
Bai Nianyuan carefully accepted the jade bottle, took out one piece, and felt a pure and vibrant Daoist aura emanate from it, indicating that it was at least a fine piece.
Chen Shuangbai said, "My Dao of Alchemy skills are limited; I only managed to produce three pills: one of the highest quality and two of the finest quality..."
Bai Nianyuan interrupted, "What are you saying, fellow Daoist?"
"Successfully producing three pills is already extremely remarkable. You should know that I previously consulted no fewer than five Alchemist at sea, and they all waved their hands repeatedly upon seeing this Pill Formula, saying that this pill was too difficult to refine and that they had no confidence in it."
That's all.
As if remembering something, he flipped his left hand, took out the silver foil pages, and handed them to Chen Shuangbai, saying, "This is the agreed-upon payment. Besides that, if you see anything you like or need in Swan Immortal Market... just mention my name. My White Feather Cave can be considered one of the founders of Swan Immortal Market, so we have some influence."
The two then engaged in further conversation, and both host and guest enjoyed themselves immensely.
Chen Shuangbai took the silver foil pages; they felt slightly heavy in his hand, neither gold nor jade, and had a cool, warm touch. Looking closer, the bird-script characters on them became even more dazzling. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Bai Nianyuan beamed, clearly in a very good mood. His satisfaction was entirely focused on the three Aging-Delay Pill. He chuckled and said, "It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement, no need for thanks."
Seeing his joy, Chen Shuangbai knew that his heart had mostly flown back to White Feather Cave, so she offered to rest for a few days and then turned back into the artifact room.
Bai Nianyuan has no problem with it.
Not long after.
Chen Shuangbai then noticed that Bai Nianyuan's aura had disappeared from the island, indicating that he had taken the three Aging-Delay Pill back to White Feather Cave.
" The Aging-Delay Pill can only slow down aging, not extend lifespan... But slowing down aging itself implies 'increasing lifespan' in another sense... Is it the master of White Feather Cave?"
After traveling at sea for several months, Chen Shuangbai gained a much deeper understanding of this sea area.
The Sixteen Demon Caves of the Spirit Gauze Sea have been established for a very long time.
Many sacred mountains and spiritual peaks within the land have been occupied by the righteous path, the demonic path, the unorthodox sects, and the evil sects. Although they have their disagreements, they are ultimately all human cultivators and share the same stance towards Demon Cultivator.
Therefore, only a few places in the sea have large numbers of Demon Cultivator gathered, while the majority of the rest have fled to the warm Spirit Gauze Sea.
Most of the people from the Sixteen Demon Caves were refugees who had fled from the sea.
That's why.
The Sixteen Demon Caves are renowned at sea, but their fame is almost unheard of within the mainland.
Because they were once defeated, they still dare not return to land in large numbers.
White Feather Cave is relatively peaceful and doesn't like to fight with the outside world.
Chen Shuangbai didn't actually intend to aid the enemy; he simply wanted the silver foil pages.
Several more days passed.
The storm had gradually subsided, and the dim sky was slowly brightening again, with the usual warm feeling gradually returning.
Chen Shuangbai was sitting in a pavilion on the island when she saw a white shadow fall from the sky. It was Bai Nianyuan, who had a happy expression on his face.
"Judging from the joy on Fellow Daoist Bai's face, something good must have happened?"
Bai Nianyuan laughed heartily and said, "It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Chen that the Delaying Aging-Delay Pill you refined brings such good news."
Chen Shuangbai could roughly guess what was going on, but didn't say much.
The other party only asked him to refine the Aging-Delay Pill; as for who should take it... that was Bai Nianyuan's prerogative.
A flash of spiritual light appeared in Bai Nianyuan's hand, producing a jade box about a foot long. He placed it on the stone table with a thud, pushed it in front of Chen Shuangbai, and said sincerely, "My elders said that these three pills are like saving someone from fire and water, so they asked me to bring this out to give to you, fellow Daoist."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Shuangbai, but she didn't take it. Just as she was about to say something, Bai Nianyuan seemed to have anticipated something and decisively said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Let's see what this is before we speak."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai knew that further refusal would only appear pretentious.
Without saying another word, he reached out and moved the jade box in front of him, then opened it. Inside lay a strange object shaped like a lingzhi mushroom, about the length of an adult's forearm. Its entire body was a deep sea blue, reflecting a hazy, watery halo, and the rich spiritual energy of water and wood gradually dissipated.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, " Sea Heart Jade Marrow Ganoderma?"
Bai Nianyuan laughed and said, "I knew it, Fellow Daoist recognized me at a glance."
This Sea Heart Jade Marrow Ganoderma is a special precious medicine that grows on the side of the sea eye. It has the effects of nourishing and strengthening the soul, purifying the foundation of Law Power, and assisting in breaking through bottlenecks. For Chen Shuangbai, who has a water and wood Spirit Root, it is a top-notch spiritual material for cultivation.
This tree in front of me... judging by its age, it's at least three hundred years old!
The gratitude expressed by White Feather Cave... cannot be overstated.
Chen Shuangbai put it away and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Bai, thank you for your kindness."
Upon hearing this, Bai Nianyuan's smile became even more sincere, and he quickly stood up to offer his assistance. "Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? Your Dao of Alchemy skills are extraordinary, Dao of Alchemy they have been of great help to my White Feather Cave."
As they were talking, Bai Nianyuan suddenly said, "Of course, after you accept this item, I would also appreciate it if you could help keep this alchemy a secret. Don't let a third party know about it. This would be good for us and the forces behind us."
His words were well-chosen; they both flattered Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai got her to keep the matter a secret.
Chen Shuangbai could understand.
The Sixteen Demon Caves are at odds with each other. If they knew that White Feather Cave was now in decline, they might surround and attack it.
"That's natural."
Chen Shuangbai agreed, realizing that the Sea Heart Jade Marrow Ganoderma was White Feather Cave's way of giving him "hush money."
