Chapter 1176: Chapter 1176: Yan Jin Has a Secret

After all, who can foresee the future and know in advance whether they might encounter a high-level Divine Pill Master accepting a commission for alchemy while aboard the Void Divine Ship?

When traveling on the Void Divine Ship, people try their best to convert their resources into Divine Crystal cash because there are just too many places requiring Divine Crystals on the Void Divine Ship.

Therefore, six months later, the commissions received by Radiant Pill Store began to decrease, with fewer than ten new orders daily.

A year later, the number of these commission orders reduced to about five. However, the proportion of high-level Divine Pill commissions increased significantly. Some top-tier martial artists aboard the Void Divine Ship even came specifically to the Radiant Pill Store in the middle-level trading area to commission Jing Yan for alchemy.

Three years later, there was an average of only one new order per day.

Five years after Radiant Pill Store’s opening, Jing Yan decided to close the shop. The amount of Divine Crystals earned was more than sufficient. Until the arrival at the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, these Divine Crystals would fully cover the training needs.

After the news that Radiant Pill Store was about to stop accepting new commissions spread, the store experienced a small wave of business peak.

After delivering the final batch of elixirs, Radiant Pill Store officially closed its doors. The business lasted for over five years.

At a luxurious residence on the top floor of the Void Divine Continent.

Shen Jun stood quietly outside the room, waiting for Guardian Elder Rui An to summon him.

After several hours, a voice finally emerged from the room, "Come in and speak!"

The door automatically opened, and Shen Jun quickly bowed his head and stepped inside.

"I pay my respects to Guardian Elder!"

"Radiant Pill Store formally closed today and will no longer accept new alchemy commissions. Yan Jin and that martial artist named Gui Ben left the trading area several hours ago."

"I have been secretly investigating, roughly calculating the profits Radiant Pill Store has made over these five years. The store’s pure profits are at least over one hundred fifty billion level-one Divine Crystals. Yan Jin’s pill formation success rate is remarkably high; none among our Purple Spirit Commerce’s high-level Divine Pill Masters can match Yan Jin’s pill formation rate. Also, his alchemy speed is astonishing. Therefore, it’s almost certain he possesses some treasure that increases pill formation probability besides his Body Origin Power."

Shen Jun kept his head bowed and slowly spoke.

"Hmm, that Yan Jin indeed has secrets. In just a few years, he amassed a staggering one hundred fifty billion level-one Divine Crystals." Rui An squinted, nodding.

The greed in his squinted eyes flickered away quickly. Though Rui An wasn’t particularly moved by the over one billion Divine Crystals, he was very curious about the secrets Jing Yan held.

"Guardian Elder, there’s one more thing to report. The middle-level Arena Zone manager Wen Zhuo has had private interactions with Yan Jin. What they talked about, we couldn’t find out." Shen Jun added.

"That Wen Zhuo is quite daring, relying on that old thing backing him up. He’s not new to pulling some stunts in front of me either. Humph, sooner or later, I’ll deal with him personally!" Rui An’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

"Alright, you may leave now. Do not act rashly. That Yan Jin is not someone you can handle." Rui An waved his hand.

"Yes!" Shen Jun took his leave.

...

Middle-level, Jing Yan’s residence.

"Senior Yan Jin, are we going to the cultivation area now?" Gui Ben, just having heard Jing Yan mentioning going to the cultivation area, instinctively asked.

"Yes, with the Divine Crystals earned, it’s time to start training. We can’t waste these two hundred years. The spiritual energy in this middle level is quite abundant, much stronger than the lower levels. But this spiritual energy can only maintain the physical body’s consumption. It’s far from sufficient for cultivation, so we must check the cultivation area." Jing Yan nodded.

"Let’s go, together," Jing Yan smiled and said.

The bustling scene in the cultivation area was in no way inferior to the trading area and arena zone.

"Low-level cultivation rooms require a daily fee of ten thousand Divine Crystals. Intermediate cultivation rooms charge fifty thousand Divine Crystals daily. Advanced cultivation rooms charge one hundred thousand Divine Crystals daily."

The manager in the cultivation area spoke expressionlessly to Jing Yan and Gui Ben.

The fee for advanced cultivation rooms—one hundred thousand level-one Divine Crystals per day, three million per month, thirty-six million per year, and three billion six hundred million over ten years—

The exorbitant fees were enough to deter many intermediate True Gods.

Therefore, even in the middle level of this Void Divine Ship, martial artists using advanced cultivation rooms were not numerous. Most intermediate True Gods typically opted for low-level or intermediate cultivation rooms. Only high-level True Gods would use the advanced rooms, but not indefinitely without limits.

No choice, the cost is simply too high.

"I’ll take one advanced cultivation room," Jing Yan decided without much thought.

"Alright, how long do you wish to use it?" The manager nodded.

"One hundred years," Jing Yan replied.

"Good, one hundred... hmm? One hundred years?" The manager initially thought Jing Yan meant one hundred days.

One hundred days equates to a fee of ten million level-one Divine Crystals. This is quite common in the middle level, with some high-level True Gods frequently using several years at a time. However, he quickly realized that Jing Yan likely meant one hundred years, not just days.

"Yes, precisely one hundred years," Jing Yan confirmed. "Here is the fee for one hundred years of an advanced cultivation room; please verify."

Jing Yan separated thirty-six billion level-one Divine Crystals, placed them in a Sumeru Ring, and handed it to the other party.

The manager was visibly shocked, took a moment, then accepted the Sumeru Ring. After breathing briefly, he finished counting to confirm that it indeed contained thirty-six billion level-one Divine Crystals.

The manager gazed deeply at Jing Yan again, his expression drastically different from before.

After storing the Divine Crystals, he produced a purple token for the advanced cultivation room, set the time, and handed it to Jing Yan, instructing him to find any open advanced cultivation room door to enter.

"Once an advanced cultivation room is used, it can’t be stopped nor switched midway. Simply put, once you enter a cultivation room and the door closes, the timer begins. You may exit midway, but the time will continue to deplete." The manager explained the cultivation room usage to Jing Yan.

"Understood," Jing Yan calmly replied, looking at the token before holding it in his hand.

"Gui Ben." Jing Yan turned to look at Gui Ben beside him and took out another Sumeru Ring, "Take this. Since there’s a long way to go until arriving at the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, don’t waste this time. You should also train in a cultivation room! I suggest using an advanced cultivation room."

Which level of cultivation room Gui Ben would choose was merely Jing Yan’s suggestion; he wouldn’t decide for him. Inside the Sumeru Ring given to Gui Ben were fifty billion level-one Divine Crystals.
