Chapter 385: Chapter 354: Three Golden Pills_1


    The Pce of Pure Heart’s affiliated city was called Suxin City, and its name alone indicated that it was under the Pce of Pure Heart’s jurisdiction.


    Although it was managed by the Pce of Pure Heart, arge portion of the city’s profits had to be given to their main sect, the Four Seas Immortal Pce, and the Pce of Pure Heart’s actual annual ie was around five to six hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.


    Don’t think this is small, for a Golden Pill level power, this was considered good and could barely sustain the Pce of Pure Heart’s operation.


    The main thing was that this was a fixed ie, consistent regardless of good or bad crops, ensuring a steady supply of resources.


    When Nangong Suyi first built this city, she spent a lot, but its existence allowed the Pce of Pure Heart to stand for hundreds of years.


    However, a single city alone was not enough to sustain the entire Pce of Pure Heart. If the disciples of the pce wanted more resources, they had to work hard on their own.


    The Cultivation Realm on the inds was different from the maind, they couldn’t nt cultivation resources on arge scale due to limitednd area.


    But this did not mean they were helpless. While they couldn’t grow resources on the ind, they could in the sea, moreover, marine aquaculture was also possible.


    As far as Xu Mu knew, the Pce of Pure Heart had at least threerge-scale marine aquaculture farms. The spiritual fish produced there could not only be eaten directly but also used for Alchemy, and the fish scales, bones, and eyes could be used to produce Magic Artifacts and Talismans.


    These fish farms also functioned as a significant source of ie for the Pce of Pure Heart as they could provide numerous Spirit Stones each year.<div>


    Among the tasks assigned to the Disciples of Su Xin Pce, guarding the fish farms was included.


    Apart from this, the disciples of the Pce of Pure Heart themselves had developed secondary upations. They dabbled in and inherited various immortal arts such as making talismans, practicing alchemy, refining tools, and formations.


    The medical skills Xu Tiantian learned were among these.


    However, what the Pce of Pure Heart was best at was making talismans. It was just a pity that the Pce Master Mo Wuxin, as well as Xu Mu, the strongest individual in the Pce of Pure Heart, didn’t dabble much in talismans, while Nangong Suyi was quite proficient in talisman making. After all, when Xu Mu first became her apprentice, she had given him several high-tier talismans.


    Even the name of the Pce of Pure heart was directly rted to talisman making, it’s not just a random name made up by Nangong Suyi in a rush.


    In the sea area near the Pce of Pure Heart, arge amount of a low-tier spiritual herb called Suxin Grass grew. This herb had no medicinal value and couldn’t be used directly, but it was a prime material for making talisman paper.


    Not only did the Pce of Pure Heart utilize it, but every year many external cultivators would alsoe here to collect Suxin Grass.


    Perhaps it was due to the existence of Suxin Grass that Nangong Suyi decided to establish the Pce of Pure Heart here.


    Because of their proficiency in talisman making and the convenience of having Suxin Grass, the reputation of Suxin City in the talisman making field was not small.


    Each year’s tradesprised mostly of talismans, taking up at least 40% of the transactions.


    The number of talisman makers in Suxin City was also unparalleled.


    Entering the city, Xu Mu thought of how this city had been personally built by Nangong Suyi and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.


    Because it was currently the Suxin Grass harvesting season, there were a lot of people in the city. It was bustling, and one could distinctly smell a salty, damp, sea-grass scent — the scent of Suxin Grass.


    Xu Mu was in no hurry to find Xu Tiantian, so he entered a wine shop and sat there eating and listening to the idle chatter of the nearby people.


    After cultivating all day, it was just appropriate to find a chance to rx.


    “In recent years, the Pce of Pure Heart seems less and less interested in purchasing Suxin Grass, do you think something happened to them?”


    A man with shaggy hair and dark skinined with some dissatisfaction.


    “What are you talking about here? If you let the city’sw enforcement team hear you, do you want to die?”


    An old man with many wrinkles on his face spoke up.<div>


    “I’m just speaking casually, it’s not that serious. Besides, everyone in the city is saying it, even if they wanted to control it they couldn’t,” replied the dark-skinned man nonchntly.


    The regions managed by the Four Seas Immortal Pce were generally known for their looseness, especially regarding speech. Unless you were to curse loudly like a shrew in the street, few people would notice.


    “Brother Wei, you believe in those passively heard rumors too!”


    A robust woman, who although had wrinkles at her eyes, spoke with a chuckle.<div>


    “Then you tell me what’s going on? If nothing was wrong, why would they pass this opportunity to earn easy money?” The dark-skinned man retorted scornfully.


    “Why not? Of course, because they look down upon it.” The womanughed.


    “Look down on it? Why?” The dark-skinned man asked puzzled.


    “Of course, it’s because the profit is too small. It’s a grand deal in our eyes, but probably just a leftover in their eyes. You might not know, but there is another person in the Pce of Pure Heart who advanced to Golden Pill!” The woman spoke mysteriously.


    “Another one!” The dark-skinned man widened his eyes, calcting in his heart, eximed in disbelief, “This should be the third one, right? Three Golden Pill realm cultivators in one hundred years, it seems like the Pce of Pure Heart is indeed rising! Those rumors are really not reliable after all!”


    The dark-skinned man shook his head helplessly.


    The reason why he spoke ill of the Pce of Pure Heart was not because he thought it was declining, but purely out ofint.


    Because the Pce of Pure Heart stopped buying Suxin Grass, resulting in a significant price drop, and naturally, the ie of these low-level cultivators also dropped. Unhappy with the situation, he started to gossip.


    When Nangong Suyi established the Pce of Pure Heart, she was focused on cultivation and did not put too much thought into its management. As a result, the Pce of Pure Heart was barely hanging on,pletely relying on her efforts.


    Later, after a lot of struggle, they finally cultivated Mo Wuxin, but due to her bodily conditions, she could not advance further for a long time.


    That was when negative rumors about the Pce of Pure Heart began. The outside world never saw the Pce of Pure Heart in a positive light, and all sorts of undermining rumors never stopped.


    If it were not for the sudden appearance of Xu Mu, the Pce of Pure Heart might have already be obsolete.


    There was even a time when someone tried to switch ces secretly, trying to take Nangong Suyi’s position and snatch the foundation of the Pce of Pure Heart.<div>


    Later, although Mo Wuxin finally advanced to the Golden Pill realm at thest moment, the outside world still held a pessimistic view, thinking that she had forcefully advanced and that the Pce of Pure Heart was barely hanging on.


    Originally, after Mo Wuxin advanced to the Golden Pill realm, as long as they restructured readily for some time, their reputation would have gradually improved.


    However, on one hand, some people in the outside world did not want to see them get better because if the Pce of Pure Heart improved, then they would have had no chance to seize its foundation. They found opportunities only when the Pce of Pure Heart was on the verge of copsing. So they consistently spread bad news about the Pce of Pure Heart and even discreetly sabotaged it.


    Besides, there was another essential reason.


    That was because, at that time, Xu Mu had just opened up the trade channel between the Pce of Pure Heart and the Outer Sea, giving the Pce of Pure Heart a better way to make money.


    But this channel was a bit illegal, and to avoid attracting too much attention, Mo Wuxin too concealed her abilities and yed dumb.


    As a result, the outside world thought even more that the Pce of Pure Heart was declining.


    This situation only slightly improved thirty years ago when the Pce of Pure Heart produced another Golden Pill cultivator.


    This new Golden Pill cultivator was Mo Wuxin’s martial sister named Li Ping’er, whose personality was even colder than Mo Wuxin’s, she was genuinely an exterminating master.


    Xu Mu also knew her, but they were not close, and could only be considered acquaintances.


    The one currently residing in Suxin City was Li Ping’er, known as the Grand Elder of the Pce of Pure Heart.


    Furthermore, the third Golden Pill cultivator they were talking about was most likely Feng Luan who had just advanced.
