Dan Peak.
A completely different scene from Huazhu Peak, Dan Peak was bustling with noise and excitement.
Perhaps because Dan Peak was the largest medicinal trading market in the entire Taiheng Sect, even open to surrounding minor sects, Ren Bin could feel the long-lost hustle and bustle as soon as he approached the peak’s entrance.
“Grade-eight Hanguang Pill, personally refined by Wang Jun of Dan Peak, all of superior quality, originally ten spiritual stones, now eight, tenfold compensation for fakes!”
“Grade-nine Yang-strengthening Pill, top-notch quality, on sale at a 30% discount, save money to repair your bed!”
“Grade-eight Liao Soul Pill, refined by the elder of Dan Peak………………”Despite walking through the market, Ren Bin still felt a constant buzzing in his ears, as if mosquitoes were constantly making noise.
“Finally arrived………………Ren Bin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
He really couldn’t deal with those enthusiastic… juniors.
Especially those who would grab others’ arms with their pills, persistently trying to sell them even after being refused several times.
He looked up and saw the towering building that reached into the clouds.
Dan Pavilion.
The core building of Dan Peak.
It was not only the cultivation place for all the alchemists of Taiheng Sect but also the warehouse for storing pills.
Pills from grade-six to grade-two were all stored here.
Grade-one?
There were hardly any grade-one pills in the world.
A grade-one pill could bring the dead back to life, regenerate bones and flesh; even a great being in the Great Perfection realm might not be able to produce one.
If there really was such a treasure, it would definitely be personally protected by the sect leader or a highly respected peak leader.
“Stop!”
Just as Ren Bin was about to enter the Dan Pavilion, he was stopped by two disciples at the entrance.
“The sect leader is visiting the Dan Pavilion today, personnel from other peaks are requested to leave immediately.The two disciples, dressed in black Dan robes, looked quite imposing.”
“I have come here on important business.”
“Important business?”
One of the disciples sneered:”What important business could a disciple not from Dan Peak have?”
“Probably just here to seek medicine from the Dan Pavilion.”
“Leave now, the Dan Pavilion is not open to the public today, even if you are an elder from another peak!”
Ren Bin frowned, this was too unreasonable.
As members of the same peak, how could they be so arrogant towards outsiders?
In fact, he more or less understood that it must have been an order from the elders or the sect leader of Dan Peak that gave them such an attitude.
“What about the peak leader?”
He casually asked.
“The peak leader? Naturally, he can.”
“Oh, then take a look at this.”
He casually took out a silver-white token from his treasure bag and tossed it to the disciple who had just spoken to him.
“What is this………………?”
The two disciples looked at the token, slightly stunned, then looked at each other in disbelief.
Then, their bodies trembled violently.
“The peak leader’s order?”
“How could this be?!”
One of the disciples exclaimed in shock, then quickly covered his mouth, almost kneeling down to Ren Bin.
“Ah, young man, you should be more polite when speaking next time.”
Ren Bin waved his sleeve, and the token was silently taken back by him.
“Please wait, we will take you……””There is no need, I am more familiar with the Dan Pavilion than you, no need for a guide.
Ren Bin sighed, then walked into the main gate by himself.
“Sect leader, here is the summary of this month’s income from our Dan Pavilion, please review it.”
An old man with a goatee respectfully handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the woman in front of him.
The woman, looking somewhat languid, leaned back on the bench, her bright red long hair draped over her shoulders, her long legs wrapped in black stockings with gold embroidery, crossed over the other leg, her thighs plump and attractive, her calves slender and even, making it hard for people to look away.
However, the people around her all kept their heads down, not daring to glance at the woman.
“Not bad.”
The red-haired woman casually threw the bamboo slip aside.
Although she said “not bad,” in fact, the woman was very pleased inside.
Dan Peak was the economic center of Taiheng Sect, accounting for thirty percent of the entire sect’s income.
After being open to the public for only five years, it had increased its revenue by four times.
“Senior Jian, go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion tomorrow and choose a satisfactory magical treasure.”
She said indifferently.
“Thank you, Sect leader.”
The old man with a goatee was so excited that his body trembled, and he immediately bowed in gratitude.
“Sect leader, I have a request.”
After the old man with a goatee stepped back, another elder bowed forward from the side.
“What is it?”
The woman glanced sideways, she still remembered the name of this elder, Gongsun Yu, who was a well-known elder of the Great Brightness Peak.
“I would like to request a grade-six pill.”
“Why?”
Gongsun Yu straightened his chest and raised his head, and there was actually a hint of pride in his already turbid eyes.
“Sect leader, I am about to break through to the middle period of the Liao Xu realm.”
The woman slightly raised her eyes, and there was also some surprise in her eyes.
“What grade-six pill?”
“Qingmai Pill.”
“Senior Jian, does the Dan Pavilion still have any grade-six Qingmai Pills?”
The old man with a goatee nodded:”If I am not mistaken, the Dan Pavilion does indeed have a grade-six Qingmai Pill in storage, and I can have a disciple fetch it right away.”
“Very well, go ahead.”
Gongsun Yu quickly bowed with delight: “Thank you, Sect Leader.”
“Elder Gongsun, I hope you can break through smoothly. Six years ago, our sect suffered a great loss of vitality. Your breakthrough to the middle period of the Liao Xu realm is of great importance to the entire Taiheng Sect.”
The woman waved her hand, recalling the events of six years ago and letting out a soft sigh.
At that very moment, the sound of a disciple frantically trying to stop someone came from outside the door:”The Sect Leader is inside, you cannot go in…….Oops!”
The door was slowly pushed open, and Ren Bin walked into the room, casually bowing.
“Ren Bin greets the Sect Leader and all the elders.”
He hadn’t expected to find so many people in one room.
His gaze swept over the people around him, and at first glance, he saw nothing but old men.
It was really strange.
These old men usually wouldn’t come out to see anyone even once in half a month.
Why were they all gathered together today?
At the same time, the woman and the elders were also taken aback.
“Ren Bin?”
One of the elders looked at Ren Bin in disbelief for a few moments, then spoke with a hint of mockery:”You actually deigned to come out of your shell. That’s quite a surprise.”Ren Bin glanced at the elder indifferently:”Thank you for your concern, Elder Wen.”
“But after a few years, Elder Wen still hasn’t changed at all, not even in terms of aura.”
Translation: It’s been six years, and you haven’t made any progress at all.
He retorted without hesitation.
Elder Wen was left speechless, his face turning red with embarrassment, and he wisely retreated.
“…….”The red-haired woman let out a cold snort.
“What brings you here?”
“To seek a pill.”
“Hmph………………Rejected.”
Looking at the stern-faced woman in front of him, Ren Bin felt a sense of helplessness:”Sister Mo Yan, it’s been years. Why have you become so cold?”
“I don’t remember you being like this before?”
“How dare you!”
Mo Yan’s expression changed, but before she could speak, Gongsun Yu was the one who angrily reprimanded him:”What kind of status do you have to dare to address the Sect Leader in such a manner? Have you lost your mind?”
“Guard, throw him out.”
Gongsun Yu felt a cold laugh inside.
A good-for-nothing, and he still dares to come here with demands?
Does he still think he’s the sword cultivation genius from six years ago?
“Elder Gongsun, your voice is quite loud. It’s hurting my ears.”
Louder even than the vendors outside just now.
Ren Bin rubbed his ears and glanced at Gongsun Yu:”Moreover, I remember Elder Gongsun is from the Great Brightness Peak. How can you just order around the disciples of the Dan Pavilion at will?”
“Furthermore, the Sect Leader hasn’t asked me to leave yet, but you want to throw me out.”
“Could it be that you think your prestige has already surpassed that of the Sect Leader?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the elders around cast strange looks at him, and even Mo Yan furrowed her brows.
“You………………you’re talking nonsense. I never meant that!”
Gongsun Yu was flustered for a moment, but quickly calmed himself down.
Perhaps because he looked down too much on Ren Bin, this “fallen dog,” his words just now had inadvertently overstepped.
“Sect Leader, I………………””Enough, no need to explain further. I understand.”
Mo Yan interrupted Gongsun Yu’s explanation, narrowing her eyes and looking at Ren Bin:”Peak Leader Ren, what kind of pill are you seeking?”
“Qingmai Pill.”
The laziness on Ren Bin’s face instantly disappeared, and his expression became serious:”Grade-six Qingmai Pill.”
