Chapter 99: Alchemy and Brewing

"Welcome, please show your membership badge?" said an old man with a mustache poking his head out from behind the counter and said to Huang Hua.

"Eh, may I ask if this is the 'Xianyuan Pavilion'? I am here for the first time, and I hope that my predecessors will give me a lot of advice?", this old man is not a cultivator, Huang Hua was a little skeptical that he was in the wrong place, but he still asked cautiously.

"First time here, oh, I'm sorry, we only accept members here, I'm sorry, sir, please go back", the old man heard that Huang Hua was not a member, and immediately issued an eviction order.

"Well, then please ask, how can I join the club?", Huang Hua was still not sure if this was the "Xianyuan Pavilion" he was looking for, so he had to continue to try.

"You want to join the club, then you wait", the old man glanced at Huang Hua, and actually took out a walkie-talkie from under the counter and said a few words.

A slight sound of footsteps came from the second floor to the first floor, and before he saw anyone, Huang Hua felt a huge aura of divine thoughts sweeping towards him, and Huang Hua could feel that this divine thoughts were coming from a high-level monk in the early stage of the Yuan Infant.

Another old man, who was about the same age as the old man with the eight-character beard before, went down from the second floor to the first floor.

"Does Sir want to become a member of this pavilion?", the old man walked up to Huang Hua and looked at Huang Hua carefully.

"Yes, you need some special items in the next place, but it is said that you must become a member of your pavilion to be eligible, so, so I want to join your pavilion", Huang Hua knew that he had found the right place since he saw this old man in his infancy, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"Well, then you can go upstairs with me to talk in detail", the old man turned around and went up to the second floor after speaking, and Huang Hua followed.

The layout of the second floor is different from that of the first floor, although there are also several private rooms on the four walls, but all the doors and windows are facing an empty indoor platform in the middle of the second floor, and the old man led Huang Hua to one of the private rooms.

There was nothing in the room, just a table and a few chairs, all facing the window, beyond which was the platform.

"Daoyou, please take a seat, the old man's surname is Li, he is one of the treasurer deacons of this pavilion, may I ask Daoyou what to call Daoyou? Daoist friends know the conditions for becoming a member of this cabinet?", the old man surnamed Li asked straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

"Oh, Senior Li, Huang Hua is a monk in Xia Nanjiang, he has just entered the Dan period, and he only knows a little about your pavilion, and he doesn't know anything about the rest, and he also asks his predecessors to teach him", Huang Hua has a request for help, and the other party is still a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, so Huang Hua told the truth.

"Oh, you're a casual cultivator? That's really rare, there are very few casual cultivators nowadays, well, well, since you don't know, then I'll tell you a little bit about it", this Deacon Li seemed to have a good impression of casual cultivation, and there was a little more peace in his language.

"This pavilion was founded 1,200 years ago, the founding patriarch is a god period of casual cultivation, we do not sell and buy any items, all the items that occur in this pavilion are for the members of the agent, the pavilion only charges relevant commissions, in order to ensure the credibility of the pavilion, we have to inspect the members, only through the inspection can become members and enjoy related services", Deacon Li stroked his few beards and said lightly.

"Well, then may I ask, how does your pavilion need to inspect the members?", Huang Hua heard a little but still didn't understand.

"Hehe, our immortal cultivation world has always paid attention to strength, and there is only one part of our investigation, that is, strength, as long as you have the strength, you can become our member", this Deacon Li finally said a condition that surprised Huang Hua.

"Eh, then how can we judge the strength of a cultivator?I'm only in the Dan Period, and my strength is definitely not as good as the Yuan Infant Stage, since you also provide services to the Dan Period, it must not be judged by mana cultivation, right?", Huang Hua was very curious.

"Hehe, Taoist friends don't know, our members are divided into three levels, namely junior members, ordinary members and senior members, corresponding to the Dan period, the Yuan infant period, the god stage and above, you can only apply for junior members now."

"Ah, members are also divided into levels, so may I ask, is it true that junior members can only trade with junior members, and ordinary members can only trade with ordinary members? If this is the case, wouldn't there be too few opportunities to get the items you want?"

Huang Hua muttered to himself in his heart, if he really wanted to trade at such a level, he probably wouldn't be able to exchange what he wanted.

"Hehehe, yes, if that's the case, wouldn't it restrict the trading of many items, as long as you become a member of this pavilion, you can participate in various levels of transactions, the difference is only that senior members have priority, and under the same conditions, senior members must be able to get the corresponding items", Deacon Li's words finally dispelled Huang Hua's worries.

"Well, I also want to ask, I'm just in the Dan Period, what if it's a Yuan Infant Stage or God Transformation Stage cultivator who trades items with me, and they suddenly don't talk about credibility and use force to take it?", Huang Hua was a little worried that his cultivation was not high.

"Hehe, Daoist friends are laughing, the existence of our Xianyuan Pavilion is to avoid this kind of thing from happening, all transactions are represented by this pavilion, and the two sides of the transaction will not meet", Deacon Li smiled.

"Oh, then may I ask my seniors, how can I join your club, and how should I trade in the future?", Huang Hua continued to understand.

"Hehe, our examination of the strength of members is actually very simple, aside from the cultivation realm, the first way to prove the strength is financial resources, as long as you can pay 50,000 spirit stones at one time, you can join the club, and the second way is to pay a rare spiritual material spirit treasure that is higher than your own cultivation realm can obtain", this Deacon Li said the first two conditions for joining.

"Ah, just pay 50,000 spirit stones at once?", Huang Hua was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the condition for joining the club was to pay spirit stones?

"That's right, the spirit stone is a symbol of strength, 50,000 junior members, 100,000 ordinary members, 150,000 senior members, just imagine, if a cultivator doesn't have a relevant background or has some other great magical means, how can he have so many spirit stone savings?", Deacon Li said the reason for doing so.

"Well, it's true, the average monk in the foundation building period only has hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year, and the Dan period is only a few thousand spirit stones, if you really want to pay so many spirit stones at one time, you have to leave some for trading, then you really have to have some strength."

Huang Hua somewhat understood, in the final analysis, this "Xianyuan Pavilion" is a profit-oriented immortal cultivation organization, and there is no difference between it and those membership-based high-end clubs in the world, the difference is only that the fees charged are spirit stones.

"Well, I understand, paying for spirit stones and paying for treasures that can only be obtained by one's own cultivation realm should be the same thing, and it is definitely impossible for people who have no ability to go beyond the level to kill monsters, well, what is the third way?"

Although Huang Hua has enough spirit stones, and there are many high-level spiritual treasures, but he has an extra heart, the experience of the past few years tells Huang Hua that once he chooses to use the first two methods to join the club, that is, Lu Cai, maybe it was okay at the time, but who knows if this Xianyuan Pavilion will secretly leak the information, in case it causes those high-level monks to be greedy, then wouldn't it be dangerous for him.

"This third method, that is, you have to pass the trial of the Cabinet, the Cabinet must complete a risky thing for the Cabinet, and you can join the Cabinet after the thing is completed, which is also the most common choice for the Member, but I want to explain first, if the Joiner is injured or falls because of this trial mission, the Cabinet is not responsible," Deacon Li said and stroked his few beards.

"Well, that's for sure, but can I ask first, what exactly is going to be done?", Huang Hua was a little curious.

"Every member needs to accomplish different things, you have to think about how you want to join the club."

"Well, I don't have many spirit stones, and I don't have any spiritual treasures, so I can only do things for your pavilion", Huang Hua hesitated slightly, and finally felt that he couldn't show his wealth, so he chose the third method of joining.

"Okay, since Daoyou has decided, then sign the contract with blood first, and then you can choose the content of the trial, and choose the things that need to be done for this pavilion", Deacon Li finished speaking, took a yellowed parchment roll from the bracelet and put it in front of Huang Hua.

The parchment scroll was printed with a series of strange runes, and the entire leather scroll was wrapped in a layer of faint red blood light, and a few paragraphs were written on it, "I swear to the blood demon that I voluntarily complete one thing for the 'Xianyuan Pavilion', as a qualification for membership, if I succeed in joining the club, I will abide by the rules of the cabinet's transaction, and if I regret it, I am willing to bear the blood demon's heart."

"This, what does this mean, and you have to swear when you join a meeting?" Huang Hua looked at the contents of the parchment scroll and was a little puzzled, he had a demon in his heart because he had broken his oath in the first place, and now he had to swear by this blood demon to drop blood, he was a little nervous.

"Hehehe, this is a powerful ancient contract, once you swear to the blood demon, you must not violate it, once you break it, you will suffer the pain of the blood demon's heart, and after seven hundred and forty-nine days, the person who violates it will be destroyed and cannot be reincarnated", Deacon Li smiled.

"This ......", Huang Hua began to mumble in his heart again, he always had a feeling that he would be controlled once he signed it.

"Daoist friends don't have to worry, this kind of contract is only valid for those who break the oath, as long as you complete the trial, then this contract will naturally not have much effect, as for the transaction rules, you can take a look at it first", Deacon Li took out another jade slip.

Huang Hua put the jade slip on his forehead and looked at it carefully, the content of the jade slip is still normal, the so-called transaction regulations only stipulate that there are no forced buys and forced sales, no shoddy goods, and no reversal after the transaction is completed.

"Well, okay then, I'll sign", Huang Hua felt that there was no big problem with the transaction regulations of the Xianyuan Pavilion, although he was still a little reluctant, but there was no way to do it for the materials he needed, so Huang Hua finally decided to sign the contract, so the Dark Luck Void Spirit Sword pierced his fingertips and dripped a few drops of blood into the parchment scroll.
