Chapter 49: All Go to the Yinhan Sect

Yu Wei’s immortal awareness covered the entire Yanhua City.
In a shop belonging to a “Good Service” merchant group, which specialized in selling lower-grade immortal artifacts, several members of the group were chatting animatedly.
“The number of lower-grade immortal artifacts produced by Tongzhou Hall lately seems quite large.”
“How so?”
“Previously, when our merchant group ordered lower-grade immortal artifacts from Tongzhou Hall, it took about ten years to get around a thousand pieces. But last year, when we ordered a thousand, they delivered them within just one month. Moreover, the people from Tongzhou Hall said they could handle any quantity we needed in the future.”
“Good heavens! Has Tongzhou Hall’s craftsmanship improved so rapidly?”
“I’ve heard rumors that they’ve invented a new method for crafting immortal artifacts, allowing them to produce large quantities.”
……
Yu Wei’s immortal awareness heard every word of their conversation.
The Yinhan Sect, this super-large sect, was divided into six departments: the Sect Affairs Bureau, the Punishment Bureau, the Crafting Bureau, the Elixir Bureau, the Skill Transmission Bureau, and the Commerce Bureau.
Yu Wei belonged to the Crafting Bureau. He came to the Ruixia Galaxy this time because he heard that a certain planet there had a rare spirit stone, so he wanted to purchase it personally to craft his own life immortal artifact. By chance, he met Qiu Mo from the Punishment Bureau, and together they went to Zhuyan Planet.
Yu Wei had always been passionate about crafting. Hearing that Tongzhou Hall had invented a new method to produce large quantities of immortal artifacts, he naturally wanted to go and see it, in order to obtain that method.
In an instant, Yu Wei’s figure disappeared from Yanhua City.
※※※
Tongzhou Hall was in a state of prosperity at this time.
Merchants, factions, cultivators, and others from Zhuyan Planet had already learned that Tongzhou Hall could quickly produce new immortal artifacts. As a result, many people came to Tongzhou Hall, and even factions from nearby planets came to order lower-grade immortal artifacts.
At the same time, the eighteen crafting peaks of Tongzhou Hall were extremely busy compared to before. New disciples, who had joined Tongzhou Hall less than two years ago, had already accumulated enough points to enter cultivation spaces. This forced Tongzhou Hall to spend a large amount of wealth to buy a larger cultivation space from the Huoxia Merchant Alliance. Meanwhile, the disciples on each peak were constantly flying around, tirelessly crafting immortal artifacts.

The number of immortal artifacts refined by Tongzhou Hall in one day is equivalent to what was refined in an entire year before. All the disciples had to work hard to refine artifacts.
In the sky, Yu Wei’s figure appeared.
“With only one Hall Master who is a three-star Earth Soul Immortal, Tongzhou Hall has managed to achieve such a busy pace of work—truly impressive,” Yu Wei said indifferently, glancing at the Purple Volcano Veins below.
Immediately afterward, Yu Wei’s immortal sense began scanning all eighteen artifact-refining peaks in Tongzhou Hall.
Everything in Tongzhou Hall was fully visible to Yu Wei’s immortal sense, without any obstruction. However, the area designated for using the ‘Formation Pre-setting Method’ had already been fitted with a formation by Yun Zhouzi, blocking Yu Wei’s immortal sense from probing further.
In the sky, Yu Wei frowned and thought to himself, “Strange. The people in Tongzhou Hall don’t even go through the step of forming a formation when refining immortal artifacts.”
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wei became determined and headed to the main peak of Tongzhou Hall, arriving in front of the palace on the summit.
Yun Zhouzi was cultivating inside the palace. Sensing Yu Wei’s presence, he realized that a six-star Earth Soul Immortal had arrived. But he wasn’t panicked, as if he had already known a master would come. He lightly flew out of the palace.
“Dao brother, I am Yun Zhouzi. Welcome to Tongzhou Hall,” Yun Zhouzi said with a smile as he stepped down.
Yu Wei sized Yun Zhouzi up, nodded with a smile, and said directly, “Yun Zhouzi, I am Yu Wei from the Artifact Refining Institute of Youhan Sect. I have already scanned Tongzhou Hall and have some doubts. I came here specifically to ask you for answers.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhouzi’s body trembled slightly. He never expected Yu Wei to be from Youhan Sect.
Yun Zhouzi had always allowed Fire Venerable to move freely in Tongzhou Hall, hoping that Fire Venerable would strengthen Tongzhou Hall’s strength so that Yun Zhouzi could attach himself to some major forces and obtain more resources to improve his own cultivation, at least reaching the lower level of Earth Soul Immortal.
Now, surprised that Yu Wei was from Youhan Sect—the actual ruler of the entire Earthy Mysterious Star Cluster—he felt extremely lucky to have connected with Youhan Sect.
“Brother Yu Wei, what would you like to ask?” Yun Zhouzi asked with a friendly smile.
Yu Wei was straightforward and asked directly, “It seems that in your artifact refinement process in Tongzhou Hall, there’s no step of forming a formation. Yet the immortal artifacts you produce have the same effects as those created after forming a formation. What’s the reason for that?”
So it really happened.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhouzi’s face showed a look of pride, and he immediately replied, “Brother Yu Weidao, to be honest, the people of Tongzhou Hall have already found a way to preset formations by recording them in advance.”
Hearing this, Yu Weixian’s spiritual sense scanned one of the artifact-forging peaks and immediately detected yuan copper ore and Moyun crystal ore, thus understanding what Yun Zhouzi meant.
“Yun Zhouzi, your Tongzhou Hall is truly amazing. Your methods of artifact forging will bring about a revolutionary change to the entire immortal realm,” Yu Weixian exclaimed in astonishment, filled with emotion.
After a while, Yu Weixian calmed down, then waved his hand to impose restrictions on the surrounding space to prevent any sound from leaking out.
Yun Zhouzi smiled faintly at Yu Weixian, eagerly awaiting his words.
Yu Weixian stared at Yun Zhouzi quietly before suddenly saying, “Yun Zhouzi, I want you to take all the members of Tongzhou Hall directly to the artifact-forging institute of Youhan Sect. I’ll persuade the elders to assign a unique area to your hall as a reward for joining Youhan Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhouzi trembled with excitement again.
The cultivators of the Youxing Cluster knew that this meant rapid advancement and easy access to cultivation resources. After waiting for so many years, Yun Zhouzi could hardly contain his excitement at finally getting this opportunity.
“Brother Yu Weidao, I’ll wait until you’ve discussed this with the elders. As long as they agree, I’ll lead the disciples of Tongzhou Hall with you to Youhan Sect,” Yun Zhouzi promised immediately.
Yu Weixian nodded and smiled.

In the Yulin mineral region of Fangyang Star, Zhen Nantian had been living a carefree life.
Someone was already mining the Yulin minerals, and the task of selling them had long been assigned, so he didn’t need to manage anything personally.
At that moment, Zhen Nantian was sitting on a peak in the Lanlin Mountain Range, holding a wine gourd in his hand. Just as he was about to drink, his communication card suddenly vibrated, sending a message.
Zhen Nantian immediately took out the communication card and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
“Ah, the master wants us to sell the Yulin minerals to the Huoxia Merchant Alliance and asks me to lead all the disciples of Tongzhou Hall back to the headquarters,” Zhen Nantian exclaimed in surprise.
He had only been on Fangyang Star for less than five years, yet he was being called back. What could possibly have happened? Zhen Nantian was filled with doubts, but he could sense that Yun Zhouzi’s tone was cheerful, indicating that Tongzhou Hall must have encountered something good. Going back should be a good thing as well.

“It’s good to go back. This Fangyang Star is too lonely,” Zhen Nantian sighed, then immediately rose and flew away.

Huozun had been alone in his wooden cabin, quietly practicing and delving deeper into the mysteries of fire cultivation, striving to advance his cultivation to the level of a Mid-Level Human Soul Immortal.

Suddenly, Zhen Nantian pushed the door open and called out, “Huozun, I have some news for you. The sect leader wants all our disciples from Tongzhou Hall to return to the headquarters.”

By now, Zhen Nantian had grown accustomed to sharing whatever he knew with Huozun, seeking his advice on everything and seemingly unable to survive without him.

Huozun stood up and smiled, saying, “Fatty, we just follow the sect leader’s instructions.”

Zhen Nantian responded with an “oh” and immediately flew away from the Yulin Mineral Deposits, heading straight to Yangguang City to sell the deposits to the Huoxia Merchant Alliance there.

Seeing Zhen Nantian leave, Huozun smiled faintly and then said softly, “What I envisioned has indeed happened. Now we’re about to enter the core of the Immortal Realm. Youhan Sect will be our first stop.”

The Immortal Realm consisted of five major star domains. Each domain was divided into 36 star regions, and each region was further divided into 72 star clusters.

Youxing, where Youhan Sect was located, was the core planet of the Diyou Star Cluster, making it a focal point in the Immortal Realm and a center of attention for various forces.

The headlines on Fangyang Star changed once again. From the sudden establishment of the Xiyang Alliance, to the sudden downfall of the Yuwen family, to the threat posed by Qiumo to the five major forces on Fangyang Star, all the way to Tongzhou Hall selling off the Yulin Mineral Deposits and all its disciples returning to the headquarters on Zhuyan Star, these events sparked intense discussion.

However, Zhen Nantian, Huozun, and the others no longer cared about matters on Fangyang Star—they had already returned to Tongzhou Hall’s headquarters.

At that time, all the disciples of Tongzhou Hall had left the mountains and gathered on the main peak. Thirty starships were already prepared on the peak, waiting for the disciples to board and leave Zhuyan Star.

Huozun, Zhen Nantian, and the disciples from Juehuo Peak stood together. Meanwhile, Qu Yi, Jinzun, Muzun, Shuizun, Tuzun, Yuwen Tianlan, and the others remained inside the Cunjie Ball, which was now on Huozun’s body.

Since they were leaving, Qu Yi and his five avatars naturally had to go together, all heading to Diyou Star.

Yu Wei and Yun Zhouzi stood on the peak’s summit, watching the disciples gathered across the main peak, their faces filled with smiles.

At that moment, Yun Zhouzi suddenly flew into the air and shouted, “All disciples, enter the Starship.”
