I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

“After watching the battle for three days and nights, such a clash between mighty fighters was worth it, not wasting this journey!”

“Indeed, not a wasted trip at all.”

“If one does not achieve immortality, they’ll ultimately turn to dust. How can one step into the Immortal Realm…”

After witnessing the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, a group of True King Heavenly Venerables felt endless admiration and envy in their hearts.

However, the Immortal Realm seemed like a truly insurmountable divide, with only a rare few out of tens of thousands able to cross it and step into the Immortal Realm.

Many young geniuses, once known far and wide, ultimately stopped before the Immortal Realm, never managing to take that step.

To enter the Immortal Realm, one needed talent, as well as opportunities, great fortune, and tremendous perseverance.

“Has someone picked a Blood Heart Fruit?”

“Yes, young master.”

“At Yu Zhu Slope, they seem to want to exchange it for some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”

“Let’s go, to Yu Zhu Slope.”

Upon learning of the Blood Heart Fruit, Wan Tianlin of the Wan Family immediately set out for Yu Zhu Slope.

Yu Zhu Slope was somewhat famous in Dahai Mountain, named after a type of bamboo that grew there like jade, with a pleasant landscape where some Martial Artists liked to quietly cultivate.

Xu Yan had disclosed the information about the Blood Heart Fruit and his location to the people of the Wan Family and was waiting at Yu Zhu Slope.

“Given the resources and prestige of the Wan Family, they wouldn’t stoop to outright robbery for a treasure. For a Blood Heart Fruit, try to trade for as many heavenly materials and earthly treasures as you can.”

Xu Yan entwined a few jade bamboos together to make a simple chair, leisurely sitting on it as he awaited the arrival of Wan Tianlin.

Xu Yan had already made a list of the treasures he needed, and given the resources of the Wan Family, even if they could not collect all, they should be able to gather most.

As for whether there was any danger in this transaction, Xu Yan did not concern himself with it.

Besides, the Wan Family’s resources and prestige were solid; they wouldn’t likely resort to violence over a Blood Heart Fruit, especially since it was meant to be traded with them.

Of course, if they truly harbored malicious intent and wanted to snatch the Blood Heart Fruit, Xu Yan was not afraid. Without the Immortal Heavenly Venerable showing up, those True King Heavenly Venerables couldn’t trouble him.

Even if overpowered, he could easily retreat.

“Let’s hope Wan Tianlin doesn’t have any intentions of oppressing a Loose Cultivator.”

Xu Yan muttered to himself. If he could avoid offending the Wan Family, he naturally would, considering they were a powerful clan with more than one Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

But he wouldn’t shy away from the Wan Family’s strength; he would kill if necessary, and if he couldn’t overpower them now, once his strength improved, he would settle all scores.

Moreover, Xu Yan was confident that apart from the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, not even True King Heavenly Venerables could pose any threat to him.

He could easily escape even if he couldn’t win.

Each Immortal Heavenly Venerable in the Divine Realm wouldn’t leave their posts lightly, fearing that the strong enemies from the Heavenly Grotto might seize the opportunity to invade, which also meant that the likelihood of being pursued by an Immortal Heavenly Venerable was incredibly low.

Xu Yan waited on Yu Zhu Slope, and a day later, three people arrived.

The one leading was a young man, cultured and refined in appearance, but his eyes could not hide a trace of arrogance.

He possessed early-stage strength of the Truth Refinement Realm.

The other two were in the late-stage of the Truth Refinement Realm, serving as protectors.

Xu Yan’s gaze fell upon the cultured and refined young man. For someone of his age to be a True King Heavenly Venerable, his talent was indeed remarkable.

Moreover, his aura was calm and stable, as if concealing a powerful force. His strength was top-notch amongst his peers.

Wan Tianlin!

“Is it you who picked the Blood Heart Fruit?”

Wan Tianlin asked impatiently as soon as he arrived.

“Yes, it was me!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Good, very good. What are your conditions? To join the Wan Family, or to follow by my side, or perhaps you want a Cultivation Technique, or even the protection of the Wan Family?”

Wan Tianlin eagerly inquired.

“I neither wish to follow by your side nor need the Wan Family’s protection. I just need some treasures. If you have these treasures, then the Blood Heart Fruit is yours.”

Xu Yan handed over the list he had prepared.

Wan Tianlin raised his eyebrows in surprise. Were mere treasures really more valuable than following by his side?

Were they more valuable than earning the protection of the Wan Family?

With the Wan Family as a backer, who would fear lacking treasures?

However, since the other party needed treasures, it was also a good thing; the trade just became much simpler.

“Alright, no problem…”

Wan Tianlin took the list, nodded, and was about to agree, but his gaze fell on the treasures listed and immediately paused.

His brow furrowed slightly.

“Are you sure these are the treasures you want?”

He looked up at Xu Yan, his brows knitted together.

“Of course!”

Xu Yan nodded, but seeing that Wan Tianlin seemed to have difficulty fulfilling the request, he added, “It’s not necessary to gather all of them. If you can collect fifty percent, that’s also acceptable.”

Wan Tianlin examined the list, pondered for a long while, and said, “To not mislead you, I can only gather about ten percent of the treasures you need for the moment. After all, the treasures you require are somewhat special.”

“Ten percent is a bit too little. Without fifty percent, no deal!”

Xu Yan shook his head.

The value of the Blood Heart Fruit was higher than the fifty percent of the treasures on his list, but the treasures he needed were more focused on a particular effect, potentially scarce in the Nine Mountain Realm, rather than being too valuable.

“Fifty percent will take time to collect. Can I substitute it with something else, like an Immortal Realm cultivation technique?”

Wan Tianlin mused for a moment before speaking.

“Let’s skip the cultivation technique. With the capabilities of the Wan Family, it shouldn’t be difficult to gather fifty percent, right?”

Xu Yan shook his head.

Wan Tianlin, with a furrowed brow, began to speak, “Give me the Blood Heart Fruit, and once I have gathered the treasures, I will have someone deliver them to you. How about that?”

Xu Yan smiled, “Face-to-face trade, no debts owed, otherwise let’s not talk.”

“Do you distrust me, Wan Tianlin? Or is it the reputation of the Wan Family you doubt?”

Wan Tianlin’s expression grew colder.

Xu Yan smiled indifferently, not the least bit concerned about the change in the other’s demeanor. He had noticed from the moment Wan Tianlin appeared that the man was very proud, even arrogant.

“A transaction is just that, what’s there to trust? If you can’t come up with the goods, then let’s forget about the deal, and I’ll find someone who can.”

Xu Yan looked directly at Wan Tianlin.

“I can gather eighty percent of the items you need for you, but I currently urgently need the Blood Heart Fruit. Give it to me, and the items will surely be delivered to you in full. How about that?”

Wan Tianlin took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

“That might be acceptable, why don’t you make a Martial Arts oath?”

Xu Yan considered for a moment before speaking.

“Never before has anyone dared to make me, Wan Tianlin, swear an oath. You are wearing thin on my patience, do you know the consequences?”

Wan Tianlin’s expression grew increasingly cold.

“Could it be that you plan to snatch it by force?”

Xu Yan pulled out a Blood Heart Fruit and held it in his hand, speaking cheerfully.

Wan Tianlin stared at the Blood Heart Fruit in his palm, as if he feared Xu Yan would destroy it in an instant. Taking a deep breath, he said, “Three days later, I will have gathered the items!”

“That works!”

Xu Yan nodded.

Wan Tianlin turned and left, while Xu Yan watched his retreating figure, then looked up at the sky and began to muse, “Should I leave now or wait and offend the Wan Family?”

At this moment, he felt hesitant.

Judging by Wan Tianlin’s demeanor, he probably wouldn’t make a fair trade but was preparing to play dirty.

However, fearing that he might destroy the Blood Heart Fruit, backing down now was only a temporary reprieve.

What Xu Yan needed to consider now was whether to leave immediately, foregoing the trade with Wan Tianlin to avoid conflict with the Wan Family.

Or to stay; if Wan Tianlin indeed attempted to rob him, he would certainly not just take it lying down, thus inevitably offending the Wan Family.

“If I’m to make a move, it would have to be decisive, eliminating any threat completely. If I were to kill Wan Tianlin, would the Wan Family let it go?

“Forget it, the Blood Heart Fruit is not exclusive to the Wan Family for trade; there’s no need to invite trouble unnecessarily.”

After much contemplation, Xu Yan decided to leave then and there; there was no need to waste time on Wan Tianlin.

“Let’s head to Thousand Layered Mountain, and along the way, find a place to consume the Blood Heart Fruit and comprehend the Minor Heavenly Eye.”

Offending the Wan Family didn’t scare Xu Yan, but there was no need to waste time entangled with them, hence he determined to cancel this transaction.

Leaving from Yu Zhu Slope, Xu Yan discerned his direction and set out for the Thousand Layered Mountain region.

“Strive to acquire enough treasures as soon as possible, complete the foundation, and break through to the Physiognomy Realm.”

Xu Yan looked forward with anticipation. What unique constitution would he obtain after this breakthrough’s transformation?

A Sacred Body?

Suddenly, two powerful presences descended, one to the left and one to the right, their chilling aura piercing, rushing towards him with murderous intent.
