I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Watching the battle for three days and three nights, witnessing such a powerful clash, it was worth it—not a wasted trip!"

"Indeed, it wasn't a wasted trip."

"Without achieving immortality, all will eventually turn to dust. How can one step into the Immortal Realm?"

After witnessing the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, a host of True King Heavenly Venerables sighed deeply in their hearts, filled with both envy and admiration.

However, the Immortal Realm seemed like an insurmountable chasm, one which maybe one in ten thousand could cross.

Many once-glorious geniuses ultimately stopped before the Immortal Realm, never able to make that final step.

To step into the Immortal Realm requires not only talent but also fortune, great destiny, and immense willpower.

"Has someone obtained a Blood Heart Fruit?"

"Yes, young master."

"Where are they, and what do they want?"

"At Yu Zhu Slope, it seems they wish to exchange it for rare treasures of heaven and earth."

"Let's go, to Yu Zhu Slope."

Upon hearing of the Blood Heart Fruit, Wan Tianlin, the third young master of the Wan Family, immediately set off for Yu Zhu Slope.

Yu Zhu Slope, somewhat famous in Dahai Mountain due to the jade-like bamboo that grows there, was picturesque and a favorite place among martial artists for secluded cultivation. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Xu Yan had revealed the existence of the Blood Heart Fruit and his whereabouts to the people of the Wan Family and was now waiting at Yu Zhu Slope.

"With the Wan Family's resources and prestige, they wouldn't stoop to stealing treasures. For the Blood Heart Fruit, try to trade for as many needed heavenly and earthly treasures as possible."

A few strands of Yu Zhu had been intertwined by Xu Yan into a makeshift chair, upon which he sat leisurely, awaiting the arrival of Wan Tianlin.

Xu Yan had already made a list of the treasures he required, and with the resources of the Wan Family, even if they couldn't provide everything, they should be able to fulfill most of it.

As for whether there was danger in the trade, Xu Yan wasn't concerned.

Moreover, considering the resources and prestige of the Wan Family, they probably wouldn't resort to outright robbery over a single Blood Heart Fruit, especially since they were prepared to trade for it.

Of course, if they did harbor evil intentions and wanted to seize the Blood Heart Fruit, Xu Yan wasn't afraid. With no Immortal Heavenly Venerables present, those True King Heavenly Venerables could hardly trouble him.

Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could easily retreat.

"I hope Wan Tianlin doesn't intend to oppress a loose cultivator."

Xu Yan muttered to himself. If he could avoid offending the Wan Family, he naturally wouldn't do so, as it was a formidable family with more than one Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

But he also wouldn't fear the strength of the Wan Family. If there was a need to strike, he would—regardless of the present disparity in power, as he was confident that any accounts would eventually be settled once his strength increased.

Moreover, Xu Yan believed that aside from the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, no martial artist below the True King Heavenly Venerable could pose any threat to him.

Even if overpowered, he could easily escape.

Each Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Divine Realm would not leave their post lightly, fearing giving an opportunity to powerful enemies from the Heavenly Grotto to invade. This meant the likelihood of being hunted down by an Immortal Heavenly Venerable was extremely low.

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

The leader was a young man with a refined appearance, exuding a barely concealed arrogance in his gaze.

His strength was at the early stage of the Truth Refinement Realm.

The other two were at the late stage of the Truth Refinement Realm, serving as guards.

Xu Yan's eyes fell on the refined young man. At such an age, to have already become a True King Heavenly Venerable, his talent was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Furthermore, his aura was stable, as if concealing a formidable power, making his strength remarkable among his peers.

Wan Tianlin!

"Are you the one who obtained the Blood Heart Fruit?"

As soon as he arrived, Wan Tianlin asked eagerly.

"Yes, it's me!"

Xu Yan nodded.

"Good, very good. What are your conditions? Do you want to join the Wan Family, follow me, or do you need cultivation techniques, or perhaps the protection of the Wan Family?"

Wan Tianlin asked excitedly.

"I neither wish to follow you nor need the protection of your Wan Family. I only want some treasures. If you have the treasures I seek, the Blood Heart Fruit is yours."

Xu Yan handed over the list he had prepared.

Wan Tianlin raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. How could mere treasures compare to the value of following him or having the protection of the Wan Family?

With the Wan Family as a backing, why would one worry about lack of treasures?

Nevertheless, since the other party wanted treasures, it simplified matters. The trade became much more straightforward.

"All right, no questio..."

Wan Tianlin took over the list and was about to agree when his eyes landed on the treasures listed and he suddenly hesitated.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you sure these are the treasures you want?"

He looked up at Xu Yan with furrowed brows.

"Of course!"

Xu Yan nodded, but seeing that Wan Tianlin seemed to be having some difficulty, he added, "It doesn't have to be complete, even fifty percent would be fine."

Wan Tianlin examined the list, pondering for a long while before saying, "To be frank, I can only gather about ten percent of the treasures you need right now, as the items you require are somewhat special."

"Ten percent is too little; fifty percent, or no deal!"

Xu Yan shook his head.

The value of the Blood Heart Fruit was higher than half the treasures on his list, but the treasures he needed were focused on certain effects, perhaps scarce in the Nine Mountain Realm and not because they were excessively valuable.

"Fifty percent will take time to collect, could something else replace them? Like a Cultivation Technique from the Immortal Realm."

Wan Tianlin pondered before speaking.

"There's no need for Cultivation Techniques; with your Wan Family's capabilities, collecting fifty percent shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Xu Yan shook his head.

Wan Tianlin, with a furrowed brow, uttered, "You give me the Blood Heart Fruit, and once I've gathered the treasures, I will send them to you, how about that?"

Xu Yan smiled, "A face-to-face transaction, owing nothing to each other, or forget about it."

"Do you not trust me, Wan Tianlin? Or do you not trust the Wan Family's credibility?"

Wan Tianlin's expression grew colder.

Xu Yan smiled indifferently, completely unconcerned with the other's attitude, noting from the moment Wan Tianlin appeared, that he was an arrogant, even self-important individual.

"It's just a transaction, why bring up trust? If you can't produce the items, then let's call off the deal, and I'll find someone else willing to trade."

Xu Yan looked directly at Wan Tianlin as he spoke.

"I can gather eighty percent of the items you need, but I urgently require the Blood Heart Fruit. Give me the Blood Heart Fruit and the items will surely be delivered to you completely, how about that?"

Wan Tianlin took a deep breath, speaking in a grave tone.

"It's not out of the question, you can make a Martial Arts oath."

Xu Yan thought for a moment before responding.

"No one has ever dared ask me, Wan Tianlin, to swear an oath. You're wearing down my patience; do you know the consequences?"

Wan Tianlin's demeanor became even colder.

"Or perhaps, you plan to simply take it by force?"

Xu Yan took out a Blood Heart Fruit, holding it in his hand, and spoke cheerfully.

Wan Tianlin focused on the Blood Heart Fruit in his palm, seemingly afraid that Xu Yan would destroy it, and took a deep breath, saying, "I'll gather the items in three days!"

"Agreed!"

Xu Yan nodded.

Wan Tianlin turned and departed, while Xu Yan watched his retreating figure then looked up at the sky, mumbling, "Should I leave now, or wait and risk offending the Wan Family?"

At this moment, he was a bit hesitant.

Judging from Wan Tianlin's attitude, he probably wouldn't go through with a fair trade, but was preparing to play dirty.

Still, fearing the destruction of the Blood Heart Fruit, retreating for now was just a stalling tactic.

What Xu Yan had to consider was whether to leave directly, abandoning the trade with Wan Tianlin, and in doing so, avoid conflict with the Wan Family.

Or stay, ready to defend himself if Wan Tianlin indeed tried to take the fruit by force, which would inevitably offend the Wan Family.

"If I decide to strike, it must be to completely eradicate the enemy. If I kill Wan Tianlin, will the Wan Family just let it go?

"Enough, the Blood Heart Fruit isn't exclusive to the Wan Family, and there's no need to invite unnecessary trouble."

After much contemplation, Xu Yan decided to leave, not wanting to waste more time on Wan Tianlin.

"Let's go to Thousand Layered Mountain, and along the way, find a place to consume the Blood Heart Fruit and comprehend the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path."

Xu Yan was not afraid of offending the Wan Family but saw no reason to waste time entangled with them, ultimately deciding to call off the transaction.

Leaving Yu Zhu Slope, Xu Yan briefly discerned the direction before setting off towards the Thousand Layered Mountain region.

"Strive to obtain enough treasures as soon as possible, accumulate my foundation, and break through to the Physiognomy Realm."

Xu Yan was full of anticipation, wondering what special physique he would acquire after this breakthrough and transformation.

A Sacred Body?

Suddenly, two powerful presences descended, one on each side, with bone-chilling sharpness, heading straight for him.
