Chapter 441: Chapter 440: Yue Wanglou’s Recruitment

"Excellent. My young friend, you’re quite direct. In that case, I’ll stop beating around the bush. I would like to invite you, Qin Feng, to become an Honored Guest Elder of my Spirit Treasure Sect."

Having said his piece, Yue Wanglou fixed his sharp, glittering eyes on Qin Feng.

’This old man actually knows my identity?’ Qin Feng wondered.

With a placid expression, Qin Feng said, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Elder Yue. I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect, so it would be inappropriate for me to serve as an Honored Guest Elder for another sect."

Yue Wanglou smiled. "My young friend, you misunderstand. The Spirit Treasure Sect’s Honored Guest Elder position is different from those of other sects. Typically, Honored Guest Elders are powerful Loose Cultivators. But our Spirit Treasure Sect is different; the position isn’t restricted by one’s background. It’s less a formal position and more of a potential ally—a guest!"

"And I don’t mind telling you, my young friend, not just anyone can become an Honored Guest Elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect. Even some of the most renowned Great Powers, even Venerables, aren’t qualified for the position!"

’Even Venerables aren’t qualified?’

Qin Feng’s curiosity was piqued. "Elder Yue, there’s something I don’t understand. If even Venerables don’t have the opportunity to become Spirit Treasure Sect Elders, why would you take an interest in an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple like me, who is only in the Condensing Vein Realm?"

A smile flashed in his aged eyes as Yue Wanglou spoke. "If a Fourth Grade Alchemist who isn’t even fifteen is considered ’ordinary,’ then I’m afraid many of the so-called alchemy prodigies in the Alchemist Guild would die of shame!"

Yue Wanglou gave a shrewd, self-satisfied smile.

He had to admit, he was incredibly lucky to have run into Qin Feng here.

In truth, this Yue Wanglou was no simple character. He was a Great Power from the Spirit Treasure Sect who had been stationed in the Domain of All Stars for several years on account of a transaction, waiting for the seller to appear.

Spotting Qin Feng was like a hunter finding exciting new prey, prompting him to play the part of a mere Shopkeeper.

But upon discovering Qin Feng’s true identity, his mind started churning with ideas.

A Fourth Grade Alchemist who wasn’t even fifteen... he was in no way inferior to some of the top prodigy Alchemists he had seen in the Central Domain.

If he could recruit a future Medicine Emperor as an Honored Guest Elder for the Spirit Treasure Sect, it would be immensely beneficial for his own career.

A flicker of enthusiasm crossed his eyes. Yue Wanglou glanced at Qin Feng and continued.

"My young friend, the benefits of becoming a Spirit Treasure Sect Honored Guest Elder don’t stop there. Our sect’s business spans many domains. Never mind rare Spirit Medicine Seeds—we even have things like Divine Tree Spiritual Roots for sale. If you become our Honored Guest Elder, I’m sure it will be a significant boon to your cultivation!"

Qin Feng glanced at Yue Wanglou and mused, ’From the sound of it, Yue Wanglou sees me as a potential VIP client. If so, there’s really no downside to becoming a Spirit Treasure Sect Honored Guest Elder—it’s mutually beneficial. Besides, if I become an Honored Guest Elder, it probably won’t take long to gather the other three Divine Objects I need to cultivate the *Five Sacred Mountains*!’

Qin Feng was extremely shrewd. He was always the one taking advantage of others; when had anyone ever gotten the better of him?

The two of them were old foxes, each with their own hidden agenda.

While the Spirit Treasure Sect was eyeing Qin Feng’s potential, Qin Feng was likewise eyeing the Spirit Treasure Sect’s resources.

"Alright, I accept the position of Honored Guest Elder!"

"Excellent!" Delighted, Yue Wanglou flipped his hand over, and a peculiar, golden-glowing book materialized in his palm.

"Here, my young friend. This is our Spirit Treasure Sect’s Profound Gold Treasure Strategy. Please infuse it with a strand of your True Power!"

With a flicker in his eyes, Qin Feng casually sent a stream of silvery-white True Power surging into the Golden Book Treasure Strategy like a river of stars.

’What potent True Power!’ Yue Wanglou sensed that Qin Feng’s True Power was like a river of stars, and he couldn’t hide the astonishment in his eyes.

The True Power cultivated by an ordinary expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm would be utterly decimated if it came up against this force.

A Venerable from a past age once classified the various qualities of True Power cultivated by martial artists, ranking them from lowest to highest.

Ordinary, Glazed, Vajra, True Dragon, Heavenly Dao, and Extreme.

After Foundation Establishment, most martial artists cultivate what is known as Ordinary True Power.

Glazed True Power is also known as Flawless True Power; its quality is perfectly pure and contains no impurities.

Experts who reach the Eleventh or Twelfth Realm of Martial Arts before their Foundation Establishment may cultivate Glazed True Power upon entering the Condensing Vein Realm.

As for Vajra True Power, it is as hard as steel. A single strand can easily snap Hundred-refined Spirit Iron. Generally, only martial artists who reach the Thirteenth Realm of Martial Arts before Foundation Establishment can hope to cultivate True Power of this caliber.

True Dragon True Power, however, requires a special fateful encounter. It demands a top-tier Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique, a supreme martial constitution, and a unique opportunity—like devouring the Essence Blood of a True Spirit or acquiring a rare Spiritual Object. Ye Ding, for example, obtained the True Form of the Ancient Kunpeng. By comprehending the Kunpeng’s divine essence, he was able to cultivate his True Power to the True Dragon Level.

As for Heavenly Dao Level True Power, the Celestial Dao is impermanent and formless. Very few understand the secret to cultivating it.

Heavenly Dao Level True Power is simply too potent.

This was the case with Qin Feng’s old rival, Ye Ding. He already possessed Kunpeng True Power of the True Dragon Level, but it was only after he perceived the true Kunpeng within the Star River—an experience that shook his very soul and allowed him to grasp the true essence of the Kunpeng—that he was able to refine his power to the Heavenly Dao Level.

The same was true for Qin Feng. He had only managed to condense Heavenly Dao Level True Power with the help of the Chaos Tree. Later, after obtaining Primordial Qi and Emperor’s Qi, he was able to elevate his True Power to the Primordial Level.

This was what the Ancient Supreme had called Extreme True Power.

’The quality of this True Power is so pure... it’s like the boundless, ancient cosmos—vast, all-encompassing, and with a profound, elusive quality. This has to be at least Heavenly Dao Level True Power!’

Shaken to his core, Yue Wanglou’s gaze toward Qin Feng grew heavy with gravity. ’This boy... he might actually attain the Dao!’

Hailing from the Spirit Treasure Sect, Yue Wanglou was privy to certain secrets. Legend had it that only an expert who had truly cultivated Heavenly Dao Level True Power had a solid chance of ascending to the rank of Demon God.

Many martial artists spent their entire lives refining their True Power, all in the hope of condensing it to the Heavenly Dao Level.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Yue Wanglou’s mind.

After a few breaths, Qin Feng’s strand of True Power condensed within the Profound Gold Treasure Strategy, forming a strange, shimmering silver coin about the size of a copper coin.

Two strange, ancient words were imprinted on the shimmering silver coin.

Spirit Treasure!

With a wave of his wide sleeve, the shimmering silver coin appeared in Qin Feng’s palm. He could faintly sense an inexplicable new connection between himself and the coin.

Yue Wanglou smiled and said, "Young friend Qin Feng, this is your Identity Token as a Spirit Treasure Sect Honored Guest Elder. The item is called a Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin. It was formed by condensing a strand of your own True Power essence with one of our sect’s Divine Secret Techniques. You can absorb it into your body at will. In the future, should you encounter other Spirit Treasure Sect disciples, you can summon it forth to prove your identity."

"Furthermore, this coin has other mystical properties that will grow stronger as your rank as an Honored Guest Elder increases!"

"Honored Guest Elder rank?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

"That’s right. Our Spirit Treasure Sect Honored Guest Elders are ranked from Ninth Grade to First Grade. The greater the value of your transactions with our sect, the higher your rank will be. And, of course, your Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin will change accordingly!"
