A few breaths later.

At Primordial Isle.

Su Yuan received the guests.

After they had taken their seats.

Su Yuan mentally transmitted messages to Zhuge Tao, Sima Nan, Sword Immortal Wine, Feng Ling, Bai Bing, and Nai Luo Demon Emperor who were cultivating on the island, instructing them to come serve tea to the guests.

When Zhuge Tao saw the Immortal Lord in that instant, his mind went blank.

The Immortal Lord glanced at him with a strange expression, never expecting that the pawn he had casually placed before would now become a follower of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, with his aura of star laws having reached the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, approaching perfection.

Under Su Yuan's indication, Zhuge Tao came to the Immortal Lord's side and poured tea for him.

Meanwhile, Sima Nan was similarly assigned to serve tea to the Demon Lord.

Sima Nan harbored immense fear toward the Demon Lord, and when he approached him, he became too terrified to move.

The Demon Lord, however, spoke kindly: "Little Nan, come pour tea for me. When I accepted you as a nominal disciple before, it didn't constitute a true master-disciple relationship. Now that you've formally become a disciple under the Dao Sovereign, you must work hard!"

Sima Nan looked at the Demon Lord in disbelief—this was the first time he had seen the Demon Lord smile!

And it was after learning that he had become a disciple under the Star Ancestor.

Sima Nan glanced back at Su Yuan, who appeared completely composed, and realized in his heart that the Star Ancestor's power exceeded even his expectations.

"In that case, since you're now the Dao Sovereign's disciple, I'll give you a meeting gift!"

The Demon Lord waved his hand and immediately took out a lower-grade Acquired Supreme Treasure, handing it to Sima Nan.

A purple lotus platform emitted rich clear light, providing tremendous assistance for cultivation.

Such a supreme treasure was worth thirteen to fourteen hundred Tai Chi Star Coins, more than twice as expensive as ordinary lower-grade supreme treasures, making it a premium item among lower-grade treasures.

Sima Nan immediately became flustered and looked toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan chuckled softly—this was the Demon Lord's way of trying to build closer relations, and also contained an element of apology for his previous reckless words.

Su Yuan said calmly: "Accept it. This is the Demon Lord's meeting gift. Shouldn't you thank the Demon Lord?"

Sima Nan somewhat fearfully accepted the purple lotus platform. When he sensed the astonishing quality of the purple lotus platform, his expression became dazed—this was actually a supreme treasure!

The Immortal Lord, Zhuyuan, Epoch, Youhe, and the Heavenly Demon Lord all looked speechlessly at the Demon Lord.

Since you've given gifts like this, naturally they would have to spend as well, otherwise they would lose face.

The Immortal Lord waved his hand and took out a feather fan-type lower-grade supreme treasure, handing it to Zhuge Tao.

"Tao'er, this is my meeting gift for you."

Zhuge Tao also looked toward Su Yuan.

"Shouldn't you thank the Immortal Lord?!"

Zhuge Tao immediately accepted the precious fan with uncontrollable joy, expressing profuse gratitude.

The Zhuyuan Great Emperor gave Sword Immortal Wine a gourd supreme treasure.

The Epoch Primordial Dragon gave Nai Luo Demon Emperor an Epoch Pearl.

Youhe Demon Venerable gave Bai Bing a Blood Slaughter Spear.

The Heavenly Demon Lord casually gave Feng Ling a wind chime.

The quality of each supreme treasure was excellent, worth around seven to eight hundred Tai Chi Star Coins.

Su Yuan indicated for Zhuge Tao and the others, who had finished serving tea and received their gifts, to leave.

Only seven people remained in the main hall.

"Congratulations to the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign on successful treasure refinement. I wonder if this old man could take a look?"

The Immortal Lord said with a cheerful laugh at this moment.

Su Yuan smiled faintly: "Why not?"

Nine flying swords appeared out of thin air, suspended in the main hall.

The rules and Dao essence on the sword bodies had reached the Tai Chi realm, forming their own Heavenly Dao!

Each sword could form a Tai Chi Domain, allowing only star rules to control the three thousand laws!

If in the Immortal Realm, even the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao would be powerless against these flying swords—the Heavenly Dao couldn't control these swords, nor could it destroy them.

Instead, the Nine Stars Linked Pearl Sword could directly attack the Heavenly Dao itself, which is why flying swords of this level were also called Heavenly Dao-level Treasures.

"Indeed they are Tai Chi Supreme Treasures, and their quality is considered excellent even among Tai Chi treasures!" The Immortal Lord exclaimed repeatedly in amazement.

The others also watched with envious eyes.

These were supreme treasures of the same attribute that could allow a cultivator to unleash astonishing power. With just these nine flying swords alone, Su Yuan instantly became the strongest among all Tai Chi realm experts, without needing any other conditions.

The Immortal Lord looked at Su Yuan expectantly: "I wonder about my treasure..."

"Haha, Immortal Lord, don't be anxious. I'm about to continue refining treasures soon. In a few days, I'll notify you to come collect it!" Su Yuan said with a beaming smile.

The Immortal Lord then relaxed and said cheerfully: "No hurry, no hurry, take your time, fellow Daoist."

Su Yuan waved his hand: "For me, this is also a form of cultivation, it's no trouble."

At this moment, the Epoch Primordial Dragon spoke: "Dao Sovereign, I wonder if you're still accepting commissions? I would also like to refine a Tai Chi Supreme Treasure."

Su Yuan looked over, surprised: "Fellow Daoist, have you prepared the materials?"

The Epoch Primordial Dragon waved his hand, and a large quantity of Heavenly Dao-level spiritual materials appeared before him. The amount was only thirty percent less than what the Immortal Lord had provided previously.

The others were also surprised to see this. The Epoch Primordial Dragon had only recently broken through to Tai Chi, meaning these materials were all collected when he was still at the Hunyuan Great Luo realm, which was truly unexpected.

Especially the Zhuyuan Great Emperor, whose eyes nearly popped out.

Su Yuan was also pleased—many of the materials provided by the Epoch Primordial Dragon were ones he didn't have, greatly expanding his material library.

He immediately said: "No problem, I can help you refine this Tai Chi Supreme Treasure. You just need to provide either one middle-grade supreme treasure or two million Tai Chi Star Coins as the refinement fee!"

The Epoch Primordial Dragon looked somewhat embarrassed: "Could the production cost be reduced somewhat? Could it be deducted from the materials?"

"That's possible, but then the quality of the refined treasure would be somewhat inferior! Are you sure you want to do this?" Su Yuan asked.

"This..." The Epoch Primordial Dragon frowned.

Su Yuan pondered briefly and said: "How about this—the Seven Stars Market can lend money. Go borrow two million Tai Chi Star Coins, or after I refine the treasure, if you can gather two million Tai Chi Star Coins, I'll then deliver the treasure to you!"

"Alright then!"

The Epoch Primordial Dragon sent a clone to the Seven Stars Market to inquire about borrowing matters.

When he learned from Star Dust Elder about the 30% interest over one hundred thousand years, with overdue payments directly increasing to 100% interest, the corner of his eye began twitching.

After the Epoch Primordial Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Lord also said: "This lord also wishes to refine a supreme treasure!"

The Heavenly Demon Lord directly took out a large quantity of Heavenly Dao-level treasure materials, while also producing two million Tai Chi Star Coins as the production fee.

This extravagant display even surprised Su Yuan somewhat.

The Zhuyuan Great Emperor was completely stunned.

The Heavenly Demon Lord smiled lightly. As the master of heart demon tribulations, many treasures in the God Realm Sea couldn't escape his notice, so over the years he had accumulated numerous treasures, and now he was putting them to full use.

"No problem! Your treasure refinement will be after the Immortal Lord's and Epoch's!"

"No problem!" The Heavenly Demon Lord said indifferently. Time meant nothing to him.

Seeing this, the others also became restless with desire.

Su Yuan was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. In fact, none of them knew that those outsiders' target was him—they were all working for him, and paying for the privilege too.
