The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

As soon as Lu Yao arrived, the Wood Dragon Immortal on Kui Xing Island immediately sensed it.

Hopefully, there will be good news.

Master Mulong's heart stirred, and his figure immediately disappeared into the cave.

……

"Fellow Daoist Mulong, I have not failed you in your mission."

At the same pavilion atop Kui Xing Island, Lu Yao and Master Mu Long met once again.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed a master of alchemy."

Master Mulong's face showed excitement. He had reached the bottleneck of the early stage of Core Formation. With this bottle of Enhancing Essence Pill in hand, his chances of breaking through to the middle stage of Core Formation would increase. How could he not be happy?

"These are the spiritual items you need, fellow Daoist. They are all from my collection, and I will give them all to you."

Overjoyed, Master Mulong even gave Lu Yao an extra spiritual item, one more than the five spiritual items originally agreed upon.

"The money and goods are settled, fellow Daoist is truly a straightforward person."

Lu Yao smiled. With the addition of Master Mulong's spiritual items, he only needed a few more materials to complete his natal magic weapon.

After carefully storing the Enhancing Essence Pill in his storage artifact, Master Mulong's expression shifted slightly.

"I wonder how many bottles of pills you refined this time?"

The mask of the Wooden Dragon Immortal showed curiosity; the number of pills a master alchemist could produce often represented his talent.

After all, there are differences between people. An alchemist who can produce one pill out of ten is naturally different from an alchemist who can produce three pills out of ten.

"I was lucky enough to get four bottles of pills."

Lu Yao chuckled and casually mentioned a number. This level of pill-making skill was considered quite talented for an alchemist.

"Fellow Daoist is very talented. Please do not refuse my help with alchemy in the future."

Master Mulong was shocked. He hadn't expected Lu Yao's alchemy skills to be so powerful. He had only seen such alchemists in Tianxing City, and he never thought he would meet one on this remote island.

"Of course, fellow Daoist, just prepare the materials in advance."

Lu Yao smiled and gave a casual reply.

In order to lure out the Gold-Eating Insects, he still needs to stay on Little Huan Island for a while, and helping Master Mulong refine a few batches of pills is naturally no problem.

However, he won't hesitate to charge exorbitant fees.

After all, for Lu Yao, this was just a small favor, and a free business opportunity, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

When Master Mulong saw that Lu Yao had agreed, a smile appeared on his face, and he wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries.

Suddenly, Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist hiding in the shadows, eavesdropping on others' conversations is not the way of a gentleman."

Lu Yao spoke calmly.

"Someone?"

Master Mulong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately released his divine sense to cover the surroundings.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. This humble woman and fellow Daoist Yuan Jun were just curious about why there was the aura of an unfamiliar Core Formation cultivator on this island, so we came to investigate."

A woman's voice rang out, soft and clear, like that of a spirit bird.

"Kanqin and Yuan Jun?"

Master Mulong also noticed the approaching person, and his expression immediately darkened.

On Kui Xing Island, Mu Long is the island's lord, but not the kind of lord who manages mundane affairs. He truly holds immense power and can be considered the local emperor of Kui Xing Island.

The other two Core Formation cultivators were also deputy island lords sent by the Star Palace. They were under the Star Palace's command and were also there to keep the Wood Dragon in check.

They all became the island lords of Kui Xing Island through the once-in-a-century Star Picking Ceremony, and during their hundred-year term of responsibility for guarding the island, they could obtain the island's cultivation resources.

Therefore, the three of them were not particularly close, so Mu Long did not tell them about Lu Yao's existence.

Unexpectedly, Kanqin and Yuan Jun still discovered it.

“Island Master Mulong, this fellow Daoist has arrived at Kuixing Island without informing us. We would have been better off having a discussion with him.”

Wearing a magnificent brocade robe, Master Yuan Jun looked at Master Mu Long with a displeased expression.

"Ahem, ahem, it's because both of you fellow cultivators are in seclusion. I didn't inform you so as not to disturb you."

Master Mulong coughed lightly and said expressionlessly.

"Hehehe, then I should thank you."

Master Yuan Jun sneered and ignored Master Mu Long, then looked at Lu Yao with a smile.

"I am Yuan Jun, and this is Master Kanqin. Fellow Daoist, you are new to Kuixing Island. We should do our best to be your hosts."

Master Yuan Jun approached Lu Yao with a smile, clearly intending to make his acquaintance with him.

"I am Ice Mist. I have met you two fellow Daoists. However, there is no need for such hospitality, as Fellow Daoist Wood Dragon has already treated me well."

Lu Yao smiled. These three people weren't on the same page, and he didn't want to get too involved.

"Brother Bingwu, just now Fellow Daoist Yuan Jun and I overheard that you are an alchemist. I wonder if you could sell us two bottles of the Enhancing Vitality Pill?"

Seeing that Lu Yao did not seem to mind their eavesdropping earlier, Master Kanqin asked a question.

In fact, Kanqin had a magical artifact that could conceal her aura, which is why Lu Yao and Mu Long did not discover her presence with Yuan Jun.

Of course, it's also because they weren't too close, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hide it from the two of them, and it could only be considered an auxiliary magic item.

However, upon hearing that Lu Yao was an alchemist and that he had three bottles of freshly made Yuan-enhancing Pills, she was shocked and revealed a trace of her aura, which Lu Yao unexpectedly caught.

"Oh? You two fellow cultivators are also in urgent need of pills?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

By this time, Lu Yao understood the significance of the Zengyuan Pill in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Clearly, such pills are rarely circulated, which is why Master Mulong and his companions paid special attention to them.

"Brother Bingwu is joking. Everyone needs pills that can enhance magical power."

Master Yuan smiled helplessly and shrugged.

"I still have three bottles of Enhancing Vitality Pills. If you two can produce the six spiritual items on the jade slip, I can trade them to you."

Lu Yao naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to collect and refine his natal magic weapon and spiritual objects, so he directly took out a jade slip.

Master Yuan Jun and Master Kan Qin exchanged a glance, and both immersed their divine senses into it.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on the face of Master Kanqin, while Master Yuanjun's consciousness also became heavy.

"I happen to have five spiritual items here. I'm missing one, so I'll use spirit stones to make up the difference. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

With a wave of his hand, Master Kanqin summoned five spiritual objects radiating spiritual light, which then floated in the air, along with a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"can."

Lu Yao nodded. These spiritual items were ones he hadn't collected yet, so he could naturally exchange them.

With a thought, Lu Yao put all five spiritual items and spirit stones into his Origin Space, while a bottle of Enhancing Essence Pill flew towards True Person Kanqin.

"Brother Bingwu, I only have one spiritual item in this jade slip. I wonder if it is possible to replace it with another spiritual item or spirit stone?"

Master Yuan frowned, took out a spiritual item and four thousand spirit stones, wanting to use spirit stones instead, just like Master Kanqin.
