Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 322: Fishing in Troubled Waters, Taiyin Heaven

"Pharmacist Yang, the Han Family has delivered a batch of Spirit Medicines. It includes recently gathered Superior Spiritual Materials like Ghost Spirit Grass and Fragrant Celestial Flower."

Han Bingyu reported the situation to Yang Chan.

Ever since the Silver State Secret Realm appeared, many Superior Spirit Medicines had been showing up in various places, and their rarity had dropped significantly.

The Han Family knew that Yang Chan needed to refine the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill, so they arranged for people to collect the ingredients. They happened to find some and sent them over directly.

"Mm, send this bottle of Cyan Spirit Pills back to the Han Family."

After checking the delivered materials, Yang Chan took out a bottle of Cyan Spirit Pills and handed it to Han Bingyu.

To Yang Chan, when it came to these kinds of materials, the more, the better. It would allow him to build up his reserves.

He already had enough Elixirs on hand to last him a long time, but collecting more Spirit Medicines and refining more Elixirs couldn’t hurt.

When an opportunity presented itself, one had to seize it. Otherwise, it would be a complete waste.

"Recently, a lot of High-Level Spirit Medicines have appeared in Qing State. They all came from the Silver State Secret Realm. Some were obtained by Loose Cultivators and gang members, who then brought them to various places to sell."

"The major merchant guilds have collected a good number of them, and the Han Family can continue to gather more."

After taking the Elixirs, Han Bingyu looked at Yang Chan.

"Have the Han Family continue helping with the collection. When it comes to Superior Spirit Medicines, the more, the better."

Yang Chan naturally told the Han Family to keep collecting.

"Alright. I’ll send the message back to the Han Family shortly and have them gather more."

Han Bingyu was more than happy to see this, because every time, she could take a considerable cut as a reward—and these rewards were tangible.

Previously, when the Han Family received Elixirs from Yang Chan, a portion of the Cultivation Resources was sent to her. Now, with Elixirs on the level of the Cyan Spirit Pill, she would naturally get an even bigger share, which made her very enthusiastic.

Once her Cultivation broke through to the External Refining Copper Skin Level, she would already have plenty of subsequent Cultivation Resources secured.

"Mm, is there any other news?"

Seeing that Han Bingyu was still standing there, Yang Chan asked.

The Han Family’s channels weren’t as good as the Cyan Yuan Sect’s, but they were decent enough. For instance, these Superior Spirit Medicines were delivered directly to him, saving him a lot of trouble.

"The Han Family sent a message. They said the No-Life Evil Cult has reappeared in Yu State, but it’s unclear if it’s the same No-Life Evil Cult as before," Han Bingyu continued.

This news traveled fast, mainly because of the huge impact the No-Life Evil Cult had made in the past. Not only the major Sects, but even the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Affiliated Forces knew of the threat it posed. The cult’s brutal methods had left a deep impression on everyone.

You could say that the moment the No-Life Evil Cult appeared, it drew everyone’s attention. As one of the eight major merchants, the Han Family naturally received the news as well, though they only knew of its reappearance and hadn’t gathered any specific details.

’Now this is interesting. They were wiped out by the major Sects before, but now they’re making a comeback. It looks like someone is trying to fish in troubled waters.’

Yang Chan listened with a faint smile, not paying it too much mind.

’The No-Life Evil Cult appeared in Yu State. That has nothing to do with me and basically can’t affect me.’

’Besides, whatever the No-Life Evil Cult does, the Cyan Yuan Sect and the other major Sects will definitely be the first to act. I can just stay in the Cyan Yuan Sect and watch the show.’

’As a mere spectator, I’m naturally not concerned about the No-Life Evil Cult. Besides, I don’t feel that this current incarnation of the cult will be able to cause much of a stir.’

’Before, they had the Crown Prince and others backing them, but not anymore. Their elimination is only a matter of time. The only reason they can still kick up a fuss is because no one has moved against them yet; everyone is just observing.’

"If there’s any news about the No-Life Evil Cult, let me know."

Although he felt the No-Life Evil Cult wouldn’t have much of an impact, Yang Chan still decided to keep an eye on it.

’It’s actually similar to the great battle in Lan State’s Jinyun City. I’ll just watch and wait for the outcome.’

’Of course, I can’t just ignore it completely. If something major happens, I don’t want to be caught completely unaware, with no time to prepare.’

"Alright. If there’s nothing else, then Pharmacist Yang, I’ll go deliver the message and the Elixirs to the Han Family now."

Han Bingyu nodded in agreement, and seeing Yang Chan’s approval, she left directly.

After watching Han Bingyu leave, Yang Chan pondered for a moment.

He possessed the No-Life Evil Cult’s Taiyin Heavenly God Skill, a technique for cultivating up to the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens. Although Yang Chan hadn’t practiced the main technique itself, he had studied it. He had even cultivated the Soul Capturing Technique from within it, which proved to be somewhat useful.

He also had a fragmented seal with the character "Yin" on it, which he kept as a trophy. After all, that person was the first Inner Master he had ever killed. Even though he had used Poison and his opponent was already severely injured, defeating a superior was still a fine memory.

If it were anyone else, this feat would have long since become a favorite topic of conversation, brought up at every opportunity. But Yang Chan rarely spoke of it, all for the sake of maintaining a low profile.

’Past achievements are in the past. Being too flamboyant would interfere with my cautious plans.’

...

Under the pitch-black night sky, a dark figure flashed through a shadowy corner and appeared before a dilapidated house.

"The Taiyin Heaven is about to appear."

A hoarse female voice spoke slowly, a hint of urgency in her tone.

"How could the time be moved up? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t there still be half a year left?"

From within the dilapidated house, a sinister voice replied, full of confusion.

"A Secret Realm appeared in Silver State. The major Sects opened it and found extremely precious Superior Spirit Medicines and cultivation technique inheritances inside."

"According to the information we’ve received, it should be a Secret Realm belonging to the Profound Celestial Sect."

"That Secret Realm was a node for the Taiyin Heaven, which caused it to manifest ahead of schedule."

The hoarse female voice spoke again, her tone filled with helplessness.

Who could have predicted such an accident? Everything had been planned, but now this surprise had thrown things off, meaning they would no longer be able to get what they wanted.

"The Supreme Sect Saintess and the Celestial Fragrance Sect Saintess appeared in White Jade City before. I’m afraid their purpose wasn’t just Cultivation; they might have also been looking for the Taiyin Heaven."

"Now that its manifestation has been moved up, I fear we won’t be able to hide it from those two. This could ruin everything."

"We’ve already arranged for the No-Life Evil Cult to appear in Yu State. That should draw a lot of attention and buy us some more time, but only a little. Whatever you have planned, I urge you to make your preparations soon."

The hoarse voice continued, and none of this was good news.

With the Taiyin Heaven appearing, their original plan was to conceal its aura, take all the benefits for themselves, or at the very least, be the first to enter and gain an advantage. But now, that had become difficult.

Accidents are always hard to avoid. No matter how careful you are, they are still likely to happen in the end. They’re simply impossible to prevent.

So, although the person in black felt helpless, they could only accept reality.
