57: Li Dadao returned to his sect to finalize the sect's uniform design.

"Hmm, it would be great if you could always stay like this."

Looking at the old man's dignified posture, Huyan Xiaoyao was not afraid; instead, she looked happy.

Her dream was to have a dignified grandfather.

However, things often went contrary to her wishes; her grandfather just liked to put on an act.

And this dignified posture, she didn't know if it was an act or real.

"Haha, how about it? Your grandpa, I, am very dignified, right?"

Seeing Huyan Xiaoyao's happy smile, the old man immediately changed his demeanor again, becoming playful.

"Alright, Old Thing, you have nothing to do with dignity," Huyan Xiaoyao retorted irritably.

Then, she took out the Immortal Crystal from Qingtian Sect and made it float in front of the old man.

"How can you call your grandpa 'Old Thing'? You..."

The old man was about to complain, but upon seeing the Immortal Crystal in front of him, he immediately cursed.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Isn't this an Immortal Crystal? Where did you get it from?" The old man's eyes nearly popped out as he stared intently at the Immortal Crystal.

This item only exists in a secret realm in the void, and the amount produced each time is pitifully small.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had only ever obtained one.

And because of that one Immortal Crystal, he was ambushed and severely injured, and he hadn't fully recovered even now.

"This is from the Southern Domain, a Saint Realm sect called Qingtian Sect. They brought it out to exchange for things; they don't seem to know the value of this Immortal Crystal," Huyan Xiaoyao replied with some uncertainty.

Qingtian Sect could take out such a precious item to exchange for treasures below the Saint Realm, so they probably weren't clear about the Immortal Crystal's value.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing such a losing business.

"Oh, a Saint Realm sect in the Southern Domain can actually produce such a treasure?" The old man was stunned upon hearing this.

Immortal Crystals are not something that can be obtained easily.

Only that secret realm in the void can produce treasures like Immortal Crystals.

The reason Immortal Crystals are so precious is that they have the effect of increasing strength and restoring injuries for Great Emperor Peak Experts.

As long as a Peak Great Emperor absorbs one Immortal Crystal,

their combat power will definitely be stronger than a Peak Great Emperor who hasn't absorbed an Immortal Crystal.

The more they absorb, the stronger they become.

There was once a Peak Great Emperor who had absorbed an Immortal Crystal.

He actually severely injured a Peak Great Emperor who was previously stronger than him.

This is also why Immortal Crystals are so precious.

As long as an Immortal Crystal appears, it will definitely drive all Great Emperor Peak Experts crazy.

"Grandpa, quickly absorb this Immortal Crystal. That way, your injuries can fully recover, and maybe your strength can even improve," Huyan Xiaoyao urged the old man.

Don't misunderstand her calling the old man 'Old Thing'; it's because their grandfather-granddaughter relationship is good.

Now that there's something that can help the old man, she is even more anxious than the old man himself.

"Hmm, alright."

The old man nodded, instructing Huyan Xiaoyao, "Yao'er, Grandpa is going into seclusion. You must not provoke that Qingtian Sect in the Southern Domain. If they come to purchase cultivation resources, we will cooperate fully. Do not harbor greed just because they offered an Immortal Crystal."

The reason he instructed Huyan Xiaoyao this way was because

all who could enter that secret realm in the void were Great Emperor Peak Experts.

It was extremely dangerous.

Even a Great Emperor Peak Expert could perish with a slight mishap.

Qingtian Sect being able to produce an Immortal Crystal

indicates that there was once a Great Emperor Peak Expert in the sect who brought an Immortal Crystal out of the void's secret realm.

Although it's currently unknown why Qingtian Sect would use such a precious item to exchange for resources below the Saint Realm,

as an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, he always felt that things were not that simple.

Therefore, he didn't want Tianbao Chamber of Commerce to incur an unknown enemy.

And his Huyan family's ancestral teachings also did not allow his family members to destroy sects and seize treasures.

"Understood, Grandpa. I've always remembered our family's ancestral teachings," Huyan Xiaoyao replied obediently.

She had no interest in all that fighting and killing.

Her greatest hobby was doing business; it was even more fun to exchange for others' supreme treasures at the lowest cost.

Now that Qingtian Sect had produced such a top-tier item,

she was eager to go and see this sect that was rich in treasures but perhaps a bit foolish.

"Mm."

Seeing Huyan Xiaoyao's obedient appearance, the old man said no more and disappeared from the spot.

"Hehe, Old Thing, I'm going to the Southern Domain to play."

Seeing the old man go into seclusion,

Huyan Xiaoyao excitedly left Tianbao Chamber of Commerce's secret realm.

At the same time,

in the Southern Domain, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, Li Big Saber's VIP room.

Wei Yan, beaming, walked in from outside with a Storage Ring.

"Oh dear! Fellow Daoist Li, you've waited long. These are the supplies your esteemed sect needs, all inside. Fellow Daoist Li, please check them."

Wei Yan respectfully handed a Storage Ring to Li Big Saber.

Headquarters just sent word, instructing him to upgrade Qingtian Sect to the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce's most top-tier, most unique VIP.

He was required to be more respectful to Qingtian Sect members than to his own father.

However, this would be his last time serving them.

Because he had presented the Immortal Crystal, headquarters was transferring him back to Central Continent, and someone would soon take over his position.

"Alright, our transaction is complete."

Li Big Saber checked the contents of the Storage Ring with his divine sense, then stood up and left the VIP room.

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Li. If you need anything next time, please come to Tianbao Chamber of Commerce," Wei Yan said enthusiastically, bowing deeply with several maids towards Li Big Saber's retreating figure.

Wei Yan, with several maids, bowed deeply towards Li Big Saber's back, then enthusiastically called out.

Qingtian Sect, Main Hall.

Wang Three Spears arrived before Jiang Chen, carrying the refined disciple attire and identity tokens.

"Reporting to Sect Master, two thousand sets of disciple attire and disciple identity tokens have all been refined. Please review and confirm, so your Subordinate can distribute them to the disciples."

After Wang Three Spears saluted,

he levitated several styles of disciple attire and identity tokens in the air of the Main Hall.

He introduced them while allowing Jiang Chen to observe.

These were three sets of robes with patterns of stars, sun, and moon, the only difference being the color of the attire.

The first type was a white patterned robe; this was the Outer Sect Disciple attire.

The second type was a blue patterned robe; this was the Inner Sect Disciple attire.

The third type was a golden patterned robe; this was the Personal Disciple attire.

As for Qingtian Sect's identity token, it was a golden plaque engraved with a figure 'Fury Slaying Ten Thousand Races, Shattering the Void'.

After listening to Wang Three Spears' introduction,

Jiang Chen looked at the items in the air and nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, excellent, it's settled then. From now on, refine according to these styles, and go distribute them to the disciples."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Your Subordinate will now distribute them to all disciples.

Receiving Jiang Chen's affirmation, Wang Three Spears saluted and exited the Main Hall.
