"Of course I will do it. I can sign a supply contract with the Jinling Sect right now and pay a 30% deposit in advance."

As Liu Xuanjie spoke, a jade slip and a pen appeared in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, wait a minute!"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shout, and everyone immediately looked over at him, only to hear him suppress his anger and say, "Fellow Daoist Liu, have you forgotten that your Liu family and our Danfu Sect already signed a contract for the supply of elixirs? Are you going to break the contract on behalf of the Liu family master?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao!" This time it was Liu Qingyao who spoke. She didn't look at Liu Chengfeng, but directly at Xiao Qin, reminding him, "The contract between the Liu family and the Dan Fu Sect will expire in three days, and the last batch of pills was delivered a month ago."

Although Xiao Qin's face was pale, she remained calm. She nodded and said, "This matter is under the responsibility of the sect's stewards' office. Junior Brothers Liu and Guan and I don't work there, so we don't know the specifics..."

"Senior Sister Xiao..."

"Shut up!"

Liu Chengfeng felt that the Liu family could not be allowed to act on this matter. Once the contract was signed, the Liu family would need a limited amount of elixirs. If 15% of the supply of low-level elixirs was given to the Jinling Sect, it would inevitably have an impact on the Danfu Sect's business.

Liu Chengfeng understood this principle, and Xiao Qin naturally understood it even better. However, they were just Qi-refining disciples of the Danfu Sect. Although they all had masters in the Jindan stage, this matter was obviously beyond their capabilities. Instead of arguing with the Liu family here and being refuted one by one by the other party, it would be better to leave here first and go back to ask the elders of the sect for the decision. Although there was a high probability that they would be scolded, it was unavoidable.

"Let's go back first." Xiao Qin said, and walked out first. As soon as she left, Guan Shanhai naturally followed her. Although Liu Chengfeng was unwilling, he had to leave with her.

As soon as the Danfu Sect monks left, Qi Family's alchemist Qi Shenghe bowed to Liu Xuanjie and the others, and left with two alchemy assistants.

The three parties who were taking the additional test had already left two of the parties, and the others who were waiting to watch the fun naturally dispersed as well.

Sui An looked at Hu Zhuiyu, Qu Manxiang, and Song Mingyue, who were the last to leave. Hu Zhuiyu nodded at her, and Song Mingyue made an eating gesture towards her, obviously not forgetting Sui An's promise to treat them to a meal. Sui An nodded at him. Of course, he would treat them, and the standard of the treat could be improved. As for the cost of the meal...

"Fellow Daoist Liu, can we sign the contract now?" Sui An asked.

"Of course you can, but Fellow Daoist, can you represent the Jinling Sect..."

"Of course not. A matter as important as a contract naturally requires the intervention of the Deacon Hall. But there's no need to wait. You can go out and sign it now."

At first, Liu Xuanjie didn't understand Sui An's words, but when they walked out of the alchemy room, they saw the Grand Elder of the Jinling Sect and the Head of the Steward Hall waiting outside, followed by a group of Jinling Sect disciples. This was indeed a large scene.

"How petty!" Zeng Yu muttered.

Sui An and the other two pretended not to hear what was said. The most important thing now was to sign the contract quickly. After all, their Jinling Sect was too poor. With this elixir business, not only could they increase the disciples' salaries, but the sect's library and warehouse would also be slightly filled. What attracted them most about this business was that the Liu family would prepay 30% of the spirit stones in advance. In this way, they would have almost enough materials for alchemy and would not have to use up their limited spirit stones to buy materials.

The advantage is that if someone says something insignificant to you, you can just ignore it and not take it to heart.

"Elder, Master, this is the Young Master of the Liu Family of Chunkong City, these two are Miss Liu Twelve, and this is Fellow Daoist Zeng."

Shi Xu introduced the three members of the Liu family to Master Lan Jin and Lu Ande.

Zeng Yu felt quite happy when he heard Shi Xu introduce him as well, and showed his happiness on his face as well.

No matter how poor the Jinling Sect was, True Person Lan Jin was still a Jindan master cultivator, and Lu Ande was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator. Behind them were several Foundation Establishment cultivators. Liu Xuanjie took the lead and bowed deeply, saying respectfully, "Junior greets Senior Lan Jin, Senior Lu, and all the seniors!"

Liu Qingyao and Zeng Yu also followed suit.

Master Lan Jin nodded. "We also saw what happened in the alchemy room just now. Young Master Liu, would it be convenient for you to draw up the contract right here?"

Liu Xuanjie nodded, "We can draft it now."

Master Lan Jin looked around and saw Ming Xue, who had not yet left. He bowed and asked, "Deacon Ming, would you be willing to be a witness?"

Ming Xue was busy bowing in return, "Thank you for your appreciation, Senior. I am willing to do this."

He was indeed waiting here to see what happened next. Since he was going to record it in the immortal sect's records, he naturally couldn't start well and then not finish well. It would be best if it had a beginning and an end.

Liu Xuanjie took out the jade slip and magic pen on the spot, drafted a supply contract on the spot, signed his name and left the mark of the Chunkong Liu family.

The Jinling Sect's signature was signed by Lu Ande, and the mark of the golden star grass was engraved with spiritual energy.

Ming Xue left his signature and the seal of the Wanxian Sect.

There are three copies of the contract, one for the Liu family, one for the Jinling Sect, and one for Mingxue.

Ming Xue put the contract into the storage bag and said, "Since this matter will be recorded in the Immortal Competition Chronicle, I will put this contract in the Wanxian Sect Deacon File."

Lu Ande and Liu Xuanjie both bowed to Ming Xue and said, "Thank you, Deacon Ming."

On the way back, Sui An, Shi Xu, Fan Tuo and the other two rode the second-order golden-tailed lion back to Xinglu Peak as they did when they came.

Back at Xinglu Peak, Master Lan Jin gathered everyone together.

"Although most people already know this, I still want to officially announce that in the just-concluded Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition finals, our Jinling Sect's alchemist team achieved a remarkable fifth place finish and was recognized on the Immortal Rankings. This is the first time our Jinling Sect has achieved this in a Yunchuan Immortal Sect competition since the fusion with Shangyunxingchuan. On behalf of the sect, I would like to thank our three disciples, Shi Xu, Sui'an, and Fan Tuo, for bringing honor to the sect."

Shi Xu took the lead, and Sui An and Fan Tuo immediately followed. The three of them stood up and bowed deeply to Master Lan Jin, "Elder, you are too kind. This is what a disciple should do!"

Master Lan Jin raised his hand and asked them to sit down. He continued, "This is good news. The second good news is that our Jinling Sect has signed a medicine supply contract with the Liu family of Chunkong City. Within three years, our Jinling Sect will supply 15% of the Liu family's low-level medicine. After the competition, the Liu family will pay a 30% deposit in advance."

Most of the people present already knew about this, except Zhang Shulin and Yu Yuanqi. The formation finals ended earlier than the alchemist competition. After it ended, everyone else rushed to Xuanrong Peak, but the two of them returned to Xinglu Peak first. They were the first to see Master Lan Jin flying back on his flying device, with obvious joy on their faces, so they guessed that the alchemist team must have achieved good results.

However, the best result they could imagine was to occupy a position on the Immortal Ranking, hovering between 15th and 20th place. This was something they dared to hope for with the utmost confidence.

But fifth?

Zhang Shulin couldn't help but glance at Zhao Chongshan next to him. Zhao Chongshan was grinning, and after being stared at by Zhang Shulin for a while, he finally reacted, "Brother Zhang... why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Shulin originally just wanted to confirm it again. Although he knew in his heart that Elder Lan Jin would definitely not tell a lie, this fact was too shocking. He subconsciously wanted to confirm it again. Zhao Chongshan was closest to him and was from the Deacon Hall, so he naturally looked at him first. In fact, as long as Zhao Chongshan nodded to indicate his affirmation, it would be fine. But this tactless person actually asked it so carelessly.

In that case, "Junior Brother Zhao, you've been going to Xuanrong Peak since the competition began. Now that Senior Brother Shi, Junior Sister Sui, and Junior Brother Fan have achieved such excellent rankings, it's natural to record them in full and detail in the sect steward's log. First, recall the entire process of the Alchemist Competition, from entrance, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, to finals, and write a draft. After the headmaster has reviewed it and it's correct, rewrite it into the jade slip."

The expression on Zhao Chongshan's face suddenly changed from lighthearted joy to heavy distress, "Brother Zhang... you have always been the one recording the deacon records..."

"Alas..." Zhang Shulin sighed first, then said in a low voice, "You know, I failed in my foundation building before. After the competition is over, I will go back and prepare to make another attempt. I need to prepare well, so I have no time to take care of the affairs of the Deacon Hall for the time being. You have been in the Deacon Hall for more than a year, it's time to take up the responsibility!"

Zhao Chongshan: What else could he say? He couldn't say anything in front of the sect's Grand Elder and Headmaster Lu, and he had to happily accept the matter.

Therefore, everyone saw Zhao Chongshan forcing out a smile. Well, it wasn't a very pretty smile. Sui An even felt that in just a few short breaths, he had dark circles under his eyes.

It seems that even if you cultivate immortality, as long as you attend a class, you will inevitably have the class atmosphere.

"Oh, Junior Brother Zhao, don't forget there's a supplementary exam. I think it's even more exciting than the finals. You'd better describe it in detail in your records."

Wang Hao added casually.

Zhao Chongshan's dark circles deepened. He just hoped that Manager Lu would let him pass in one try because he was a novice, otherwise he would really resign.

Of course, this was just a thought. He was reluctant to give up the salary from the Deacon Hall and the various scarce resources of the sect.

Some were happy and some were sad. The Jinling Sect was overjoyed, but the Danfu Sect cultivators who lived on Green Yi Peak, one of the thirteen inner peaks, were not in a good mood.

At this time, the leading elder of Danfu Sect, Zhenjun Congshan, was sitting in the first seat. As one of the six major sects in Yunchuan, the participating team of Danfu Sect was very large. The leading elders were three Yuanying cultivators. Each of the three Yuanying Zhenjuns was responsible for several events, and the Alchemist Competition was one of the events that Zhenjun Congshan was in charge of.

"In this Golden Core Alchemist Competition and the Foundation Establishment Alchemist Competition, our Danfu Sect performed as usual. We took third place in the Golden Core Alchemist Competition and second place in the Foundation Establishment Alchemist Competition. Although we didn't win the championship, it didn't bring disgrace to our Danfu Sect. However..."

True Lord Congshan looked at True Man Fang Xing and True Man Fang Ji and sighed, "Junior Brother Fang Xing, you are the judge of this Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition. Please tell us what happened in the finals."

Master Fang Xing really didn't want to answer. Although he was the judge, Fang Ji was the deacon sent by the sect to be specifically in charge of the Alchemist Competition. He looked at Master Fang Ji, hoping that he would take the initiative to speak, but Master Fang Ji just sat there, looking calm, and obviously had no intention of speaking.

Helplessly, Master Fang Xing had to speak out the process of the finals. Although he only gave a general idea, some disciples who went to Xuanrong Peak saw the situation in the finals through the formation mirror. So they knew how the Danfu Sect's alchemist team ended up in sixth place, and then, at the instigation of the cultivators from the Liu and Wu families, they competed again with the alchemists from the Jinling Sect and the Qi families, but the result was very disappointing. Not only did they fail to beat the Jinling Sect, but they only tied with the Qi family's alchemist, and were judged to have lost to the Qi family because of the sect's greater power. In the end, not only did they fail to clear their name, but they also lost part of the Liu family's low-level elixir business. All these things shocked, angered, and even brought shame to the Danfu Sect cultivators, and they quickly reached the ears of everyone in the field.

Congshan Zhenjun did not stop the whispering below.

Although Xiao Qin, Guan Shanhai and Liu Chengfeng were not accused openly, the vague gazes cast on them made them feel uneasy and they just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"Actually... although Junior-Junior Brother Xiao and the others didn't perform very well in the finals, they still managed to secure sixth place, saving the sect's name from disappearing from the Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition's Immortal Rankings. Just reaching the finals was already quite impressive, and then making it onto the Immortal Rankings, in my opinion, they've not only done nothing wrong, but have also made a contribution!"

A voice broke the awkward and frozen atmosphere. Everyone looked and saw that the words came from another Jindan cultivator, who was also the deacon of the Deacon Hall, Master Fangji.
