Chapter 423: Team Up

Suddenly, the restriction covering the hall lit up.
The woman on the left was about to rush out when the old man on the bed shook his head and said, “It’s Yin Huo.”
Just as he said that, Yin Huo walked in with a dead face and ripped his face off. It seemed like his dead face was just a top-notch Dharma treasure used as a form of disguise.
“Yin Huo, I’m afraid that I can’t live much longer. After I pass away, I want you and the mistress to bring Jian-er and Zi Xiu out of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent...”
Before he could finish his sentence, Yin Huo bowed down excitedly and took out a jade bottle. His body was trembling as he said, “Family head, I found an extremely talented Alchemy Master and got him to help me refine a cauldron of Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir...”
“Ah!” the woman on the right yelled in astonishment as she grabbed the jade bottle. Her hands were trembling just like Yin Huo’s.
The old man sighed and said, “It’s useless. Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir must be seven-patterned. Moreover...”
He suddenly stopped talking. His mouth was agape as he stared at the creamy-white elixir pill that Zi Xun had placed on his hand in disbelief.
It was exuding a mild medicinal fragrance. The nine light-gold pill inscriptions were extremely vivid, and there were still countless esoteric engravings beneath the pill inscriptions, just like the meridians in a human body.
“Hubby, this really is the Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir. It really is...” Zi Xun’s hands trembled more violently.
Even the old man struggled to sit up as he mumbled, “That’s right. This is the highest-grade Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir. I’ve never seen a Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir of this quality or level... No, this is a Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir.”
His entire body was trembling as he finished his sentence. There were even tears in his eyes.
Zi Xun quickly put an elixir pill in his mouth, but the old man grabbed it in his hand instead of swallowing it. He scrutinized it repeatedly for a long time before finally putting it in his mouth excitedly.
After he ate the pill, everyone could clearly see that the deathly aura around him was gradually disappearing. Even the wrinkles on his face began to fade away.
Merely two hours later, the old man lying on the bed had already become a middle-aged man with a head of healthy black hair.
He exuded the aura of an expert. Even the Four Great Immortal Emperors of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent would probably be overwhelmed by his aura if they were here.
“What a great elixir. This is the best Foundation Elixir our family has ever gotten. Yin Huo, you saved the Yin Family. I can’t believe that you actually managed to get the help of such an unrivaled Alchemy Emperor. Great! This is great... I, Yin Wushang, want to see if anyone will still dare to force us to hand over the Heaven-Rocking Divine Cultivation Technique. Ha ha ha ha...” Yin Wushang leaped out of bed as he laughed.
Yin Wushang wasn’t the only one who was overjoyed. The other people in the room were equally overwhelmed with excitement.
Yin Huo clenched his fists tightly. Now that the family head had recovered, calling Ye Xi the strongest expert would be bullsh*t.
After half an hour, Yin Wushang finally calmed down. He looked at Zi Xun and asked, “How many Foundation Elixirs are in the jade bottle?”
Before Zi Xun could even answer, Yin Huo immediately replied, “There are two Seven-Patterned... Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixirs left. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t doubted him so much, he might have helped me refine two cauldrons of Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir.”
Yin Wushang walked towards Yin Huo and tapped his shoulder before saying, “No, you saved the entire Yin Family. Our family would have perished otherwise. Save the Alchemy Emperor matter for later. Let’s feed Jian-er and Zi Xiu the Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir first.”
In his opinion, a person who could refine a Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir of this quality had to be an Alchemy Emperor. He would do whatever it took to befriend this kind of person. Mere words wouldn’t be enough to accomplish that.
“Hubby, you should keep these two elixir pills for yourself. If you cast the forbidden technique again, I’m afraid... I’m afraid that...” said Zi Xun in a worried tone.
She was Yin Jian and Yin Zixiu’s mother, so she had the right to say that.
Yin Wushang laughed and replied, “The thing that our family lacks the most is the Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir. However, the Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir is something that can only be obtained if it’s fated. We won’t destroy our foundations and ruin our meridians like before just by consuming one of these pills. In the past, the best Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir we had ever gotten had included eight patterns. Furthermore, it was just similar in appearance, but not when it came to medicinal effect. The Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir that I just took has already far surpassed a normal Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir. This shows how terrifying the Alchemy Dao of the Alchemy Emperor who refined this elixir is.”
“Hubby, are you saying that once Jian-er and Zixiu take the Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir, they could cultivate the Heaven-Rocking Divine Cultivation Technique without ever facing the problem of having their foundations degenerate?” Zixiu asked excitedly.
The Yin Family’s Heaven-Rocking Divine Cultivation Technique was powerful, but its greatest flaw was that one had to consume the Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir to cultivate it. Furthermore, the descendants of the disciples who had cultivated it had to take the Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir in order to establish their foundations and form their meridians.
“It is more accurate to say that once they take this Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir, they will never end up like me,” Yin Wushang replied emotionally before turning towards Yin Huo and asking, “Yin Huo, what’s the name of that Alchemy Emperor and where does he reside? We need to befriend him at any cost.”
Yin Huo replied guiltily, “Family head, I don’t know his name. He is just a cultivator who was training at the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. I offered him 100 level-eight spirit herbs so that he would refine a cauldron of Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir... I suspect that he isn’t an Alchemy Emperor.”
Yin Wushang shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. He can’t possibly refine Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir of such quality if he isn’t an Alchemy Emperor. Do you know where he has gone?”
Yin Wushang looked a little anxious as he finished his sentence. This elixir was extremely important to the Yin Family.
Yin Huo suddenly recalled something and said hurriedly, “Family head, I think that he has gone to the Lunar Immortal Sea. I gave him the location of the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit, so there’s a high chance that he went there to look for the fruit.”
...
Yin Huo was right. Di Jiu had actually gone to the Lunar Immortal Sea. He was now disguised as a skinny, tanned itinerant cultivator. Di Jiu knew that his previous disguise couldn’t be used anymore after he had helped Yin Huo refine a cauldron of Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir.
No one would let him off so easily if they knew that he could refine Nine-Patterned Foundation Elixir.
Although Di Jiu had read information about the Lunar Immortal Sea, he hadn’t believed it until he went there. Now, he truly realized that anything could exist in the vast universe.
While he stood at the seaside, his Spiritual Force could only see anything within a thousand feet. The seawater of the Lunar Immortal Sea was creamy-white and extremely sticky. Di Jiu didn’t know what it consisted of, but he knew very well that there was only a slim chance of survival if someone fell in the sea.
“Friend, are you trying to enter the Lunar Immortal Sea too?” While Di Jiu was considering refining a boat to sail the sea, a tall and bulky man cupped his fists towards him and addressed him.
There were many cultivators wandering along the seaside of the Lunar Immortal Sea. There was even a temporary market farther away. Therefore, Di Jiu wasn’t surprised that someone had suddenly talked to him.
Di Jiu looked at the tall man, who added, “We are planning on teaming up and heading to Yin Flame Island. There are three of us now. If you don’t mind, you can team up with us.”
This man was at the mid-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Di Jiu was showing his true cultivation level, which was around the third-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
The jade slip that Di Jiu had obtained at the New Moon Commercial Building contained a map of the Lunar Immortal Sea, so he knew about Yin Flame Island. It was quite far away, so the trip would take at least two to three months. Since they couldn’t fly above the sea, a round trip to the island would take roughly half a year.
Half a year in such a dangerous place would be too risky.
However, it wasn’t far compared to the location of the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruits. Although Yin Flame Island was roughly in the same direction, Di Jiu wasn’t planning on teaming up with a couple of strangers.
Just as Di Jiu was about to turn the man down, the male cultivator added, “Someone obtained a level-nine immortal material on Yin Flame Island recently. It was Divine Dawn Metal...”
“Divine Dawn Metal?” Di Jiu exclaimed. He knew about this material. It was indeed a top-notch level-nine immortal ingredient that was extremely suitable for refining offensive Dharma treasures.
Dharma treasures refined with this material were capable of suppressing an opponent’s Spiritual Force. Therefore, Di Jiu found it even more useful.
Di Jiu was a Saber Dao practitioner with a saber array. However, after coming to the Immortal World, his saber couldn’t keep up with his Array Dao progress. Most of his sabers were at a low level, so a saber array consisting of these sabers wouldn’t be of much use to Di Jiu.
If he could refine a set of top-notch sabers, he might be capable of fighting an Immortal Supremacy once he attained the perfected Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
That was because his Spiritual Force was at level eight and he was a level-eight Array Dao Master.
“Okay, I will join you guys. When do we leave?” After hearing about the Divine Dawn Metal, Di Jiu changed his mind.
