Chapter 1066: Nine Yang Divine Milk, Spirit-Infused Jade Liquid, and Yusang Divine Water

On Green Dragon Island in the Wulong Sea, inside a green palace over thirty zhang high, more than thirty Core Formation cultivators gathered, drinking tea, chatting, and exchanging cultivation insights.

At the forefront were two rectangular green jade tables, at which sat a young man in a green robe wearing a green jade crown, and a young woman in a green skirt. The young man in the green robe had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall stature, resembling a refined young master. The young woman in the green skirt had a delicate nose, cherry lips, and eyes like water, exuding the charm of a gentle, modest young lady.

They were Long Yunxiao, True Monarch Qingfeng, and Long Yunming, Fairy Liuyue, descendants of True Lord Qinglong. Both were Core Formation cultivators.

The ten major sects of the South Sea spearheaded a counterattack. As the Sea Race had diverted a large number of their forces to suppress cultivators causing trouble in the rear, their strength on the front lines was significantly weakened. The human race's counterattack swept through like a broken bamboo, having already reclaimed three sea territories. It was only a matter of time before all lost territories were recovered.

After the war, a period of recuperation and recovery would be necessary. True Monarch Qingfeng and Fairy Liuyue had invited many Core Formation cultivators, hoping to foster good relations with other forces and lay the foundation for future cooperation. The battle achievements of the Azure Lotus Immortals were astounding, so Wang Qingling and her companions naturally became sought-after guests for various forces.

Ye Haitang was in cultivation and did not attend. Wang Qingling, Wang Qiuming, and Wang Mengbin participated in this gathering, which included both the exchange of cultivation insights and a trade fair.

Long Yunxiao's gaze swept over the cultivators present, and he smiled, saying, "If no fellow Daoists wish to discuss cultivation insights, we shall proceed to the next segment: bartering."

No one responded. Long Yunming flicked her sleeve towards the jade table, and with a flash of green light, dozens of materials appeared on the tabletop. These included elixirs, spirit beast eggs, refining materials, demon cores, and more, all cultivation resources useful to Core Formation cultivators and rarely seen on the market.

"These materials can be exchanged for items of equivalent value, with alchemy materials taking priority."

"Fairy Long, what is inside that white gourd?" Wang Qingling pointed at a pure white gourd and asked curiously. Generally, gourd artifacts contain liquids, such as spiritual fluids or spiritual water.

"Nine-Yang Divine Water, I presume fellow Daoists have heard of it!" Long Yunming said with a smile.

"Nine-Yang Divine Water? Isn't that the Nine-Yang Sect's exclusive spiritual water? It's said to be extremely beneficial for plant growth; rare spiritual herbs watered with it greatly flourish, and if watered sufficiently, even dead spiritual herbs can be brought back to life. That's impossible! The Nine-Yang Sect rarely sells it externally," Huangfu Rong said with some surprise. He had been severely wounded in the fierce battles on the front lines and had been transferred back to Green Dragon Island to recuperate.

"This is Nine-Yang Divine Milk, renowned just like Nine-Yang Divine Water. Of course, it's diluted Nine-Yang Divine Milk, only about ten drops. Its effects are slightly inferior to those of Millennium Spiritual Milk, but consuming it can quickly restore magical power. Furthermore, it's beneficial for soaking spirit beast eggs, spirit insect eggs, or rare spiritual herb seeds that have been stored for too long."

Upon hearing this, many Core Formation cultivators present were tempted. Wang Qingling's eyes lit up; she had been worrying about how to hatch the spirit beast egg Wang Changsheng had given her. Many people communicated with Long Yunming via sound transmission, and Wang Qingling was no exception.

Wang Qingling exchanged a mid-grade third-tier thunder-attribute demon core for three drops of diluted Nine-Yang Divine Milk. Huangfu Rong also exchanged for a few drops of diluted Nine-Yang Divine Milk.

After Long Yunming completed her exchanges, other Core Formation cultivators successively stepped forward to trade. Some succeeded, while others could not.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it was Wang Qingling's turn. She took out more than a dozen materials, mostly third-tier demon cores, along with some third-tier refining materials.

"I'm looking to exchange for third-tier ice-attribute spiritual items, demon cores, or anything beneficial for hatching spirit beast eggs."

"Madam Wang, this is Spirit-Nourishing Jade Liquid produced by our Ouyang family. It has some benefits for hatching spirit beast eggs that have been stored for too long. I'd like to exchange it for an upper-grade third-tier fire-attribute demon core." A scholarly-looking man in white, with a refined demeanor, transmitted his voice to Wang Qingling and spoke politely.

"Alright, let's trade." Wang Qingling readily agreed; as long as it was beneficial for hatching the spirit beast egg, she would give it a try.

Wang Qiuming and Wang Mengbin also presented items for exchange. Wang Qiuming acquired a piece of Lapis Lazuli Gold, which could enhance the power of his vital magic treasure, but Wang Mengbin failed to exchange for anything he desired.

Half an hour later, the exchange session concluded, and the cultivators left one after another. Huangfu Rong called out to Wang Qingling.

"Yes? Fellow Daoist Huangfu? Is there something you need?" Wang Qingling's tone was rather indifferent. Had it not been for her consideration of the Huangfu family's power, she would not have bothered with Huangfu Rong at all, especially since he had actually tried to purchase her Ice Wind Dragon, clearly underestimating her feelings for it.

Huangfu Rong flipped his palm, revealing a green gourd. He said earnestly, "Fairy Wang, I am deeply sorry for what happened last time. This contains some diluted Sky-Mulberry Divine Water; it should be effective for hatching spirit beast eggs."

Wang Qingling shook her head, politely refusing. "Thank you for your kindness," she said, "but I cannot accept something for nothing."

"Fairy Wang," Huangfu Rong pleaded, "I'm not asking you to do anything; this is merely an expression of my apology. Please accept it, otherwise, my Sixth Uncle-Ancestor won't let me off the hook. Please do me this favor and accept it! Consider my previous words unsaid."

Huangfu Rong said with a wry smile. The Azure Lotus Immortals had penetrated deep behind enemy lines and slain ten Nascent Soul stage foreign cultivators. When Huangfu Rong heard this news, he was speechless for a long time, as the news couldn't be mistaken—it was personally stated by Li Tianyang. As soon as he retreated to the rear, he immediately sought to mend his relationship with Wang Qingling.

"This...no, I can exchange something with you. I cannot simply take your item for free." Wang Qingling didn't want to be beholden to Huangfu Rong or take advantage of him; who knew if he would change his tune later?

Huangfu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, exchanging with Wang Qingling for three mid-grade third-tier fire-attribute demon cores.

Back at her residence, Wang Qingling took out a black egg the size of a watermelon. The giant black egg emitted faint water-attribute fluctuations, which were undetectable without careful observation. Over the years, Wang Qingling had poured an immense amount of effort and energy into hatching this spirit beast egg. Wang Changsheng had once advised her to give up if it couldn't be hatched, but Wang Qingling wouldn't listen. She believed this spirit beast egg was definitely not an ordinary one; otherwise, it would have lost its life force long ago. She had soaked the egg in various spiritual fluids, and it had gradually begun to emit water-attribute fluctuations, indicating it was likely a water-attribute spirit beast. For a Beast Tamer, the sense of accomplishment from hatching an unknown spirit beast egg was something that could not be replaced by ordinary things.

Wang Qingling took out a white porcelain bottle and dripped three drops of light golden spiritual liquid onto the spirit beast egg. This was the diluted Nine-Yang Divine Milk. Wang Qingling clearly saw the three drops of diluted Nine-Yang Divine Milk being absorbed by the spirit beast egg at a visible pace, and the water-attribute fluctuations emitted by the spirit beast egg intensified by several degrees.
