Chapter 2231: Celebration, Grand Gift Reception

After chatting for over an hour, Chen Yihang and his two companions took their leave, leaving Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Ye Tianxue to continue chatting.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, why haven't I seen your nephew? Is he not on the island?"

Ye Tianxue asked casually, unsure if Wang Qingshan had given the Creation Divine Water to Wang Changsheng.

"Qingshan is in secluded cultivation and won't be coming out anytime soon. Why, does Fairy Ye need him for something?"

Wang Changsheng vaguely guessed Ye Tianxue's purpose, which was likely the Creation Divine Water.

"I won't beat around the bush. Your nephew must have mentioned the Creation Divine Water to you!" Ye Tianxue got straight to the point.

Wang Changsheng nodded. "He did mention it. However, people from the Xuanqing Sect forced him to hand over the Creation Divine Water, and he had no choice but to give it to them."

"Our Taiyang Sect is willing to trade with you. As long as the amount of Creation Divine Water is suitable, sixth-order elixirs are no problem."

Ye Tianxue's tone was full of temptation.

Wang Changsheng shook his head directly and said sincerely, "Fairy Ye, we truly don't have any Creation Divine Water. If we acquire any in the future, we will definitely consider your Taiyang Sect."

He didn't have much Creation Divine Water on hand. It was a rare and valuable resource, difficult to obtain, and he planned to save what he had to take back to the Dongli Realm to cultivate the Profound Heaven Immortal Vine.

"All right, it's a deal."

Ye Tianxue agreed and didn't press the matter further, understanding that forced things don't turn out well.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng had Sun Yuejiao escort Ye Tianxue to rest.

"Creation Divine Water... did the Taiyang Sect obtain some rare spirit medicine? Or does the Creation Divine Water have other uses? Or perhaps True Lord Taiyang obtained a Profound Heaven Tree from somewhere else?"

Wang Ruyan said, puzzled, that Profound Heaven items were quite rare, and it was already remarkable that one had appeared in the Profound Spirit Cave. Of course, she didn't rule out the possibility that True Lord Taiyang had obtained a Profound Heaven Tree or Profound Heaven Immortal Vine from somewhere else.

"That's unclear then. Since the Tianhai Realm has Creation Divine Water, in the future, if there's an opportunity, we can send a split soul down to the Tianhai Realm to see if we can acquire some."

Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice that there were many good things in the lower realms, but descending to them was troublesome. Sending a split soul required a single-use Boundary Transformation Stone, and descending with one's main body required treasures like a Boundary Breaking Plate.

Furthermore, the success rate of descending to lower realms isn't high, and problems can easily arise. Otherwise, major forces would have long since sent people to control multiple realms.

"The Xuanqing Sect has a Boundary Breaking Plate and should have already sent people down. It would be quite good if they could obtain the corpse from the Myriad Thunder Sea in the Tianlan Realm."

Wang Ruyan analyzed.

After chatting for a few more moments, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned to Qinglian Peak to meditate and cultivate.

Half a month quickly passed.

Qinglian Island was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and every clan member's face was beaming with joy. With two Void Refinement ancestors as their backing, the Wang family's descendants stood tall with pride.

Early in the morning that day, just as dawn broke.

On top of Welcoming Guests Peak, in a Bluestone Plaza spanning one hundred thousand mu, over a thousand guests gathered. Chen Yihang and his two companions sat in the front row, right next to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, while Ye Tianxue's seat was also quite prominent.

Besides them, the rest were all subsidiary forces of the Wang family, most of whom were allied through marriage. The Wang family did not yet have powerful in-laws.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in the main seats, both beaming with smiles.

Wang Changsheng looked at an empty table, his brows furrowing slightly; the Han family's representative hadn't arrived yet.

"Father, Senior Han from the Azure Glaze Sea Region has arrived."

Sun Yuejiao walked over and said via voice transmission.

"Please invite him in quickly."

Wang Changsheng nodded and had Sun Yuejiao personally go to invite him.

The Han family's representative hadn't arrived, and he had thought they wouldn't send anyone. Unexpectedly, Han Changfeng had personally come to celebrate, giving the Wang family great face.

Not long after, Sun Yuejiao returned with a red escape light behind her. Soon, the red escape light stopped above the plaza, revealing a scroll radiating continuous red light. Han Changfeng and dozens of other Han family descendants stood upon it.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang!"

Han Changfeng cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Wang Changsheng nodded. "Fellow Daoist Han, you are too kind. Please have a seat!"

Han Changfeng's seat was right next to Ye Tianxue, and he sat down.

"Zhenhai Palace congratulates the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple on entering the Void Refinement stage, and presents three sixth-order beast hides, two bottles of sixth-order elixirs, two low-grade Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, and one thousand catties of Tide Glaze Sand."

Chen Yihang and his two companions were representatives of Zhenhai Palace, and these were Zhenhai Palace's congratulatory gifts. As the Wang family was a cultivation family supported by the Ascended faction, the three of them would separately offer a gift, which naturally wouldn't compare to Zhenhai Palace's grand offerings.

"Taiyang Sect presents three sections of ten-thousand-year Taiyang Wood, ten pieces of Li Fire Crystal, and five hundred catties of Nine-Curved Sand, to congratulate the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple on entering the Void Refinement stage."

"The Han family from the Azure Glaze Sea Region presents ten pieces of Tidal Crystal, five sixth-order demon cores, and five sixth-order beast hides, to congratulate the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple on their great advancement in cultivation."

Representatives from Zhenhai Palace, Taiyang Sect, and the Han family presented their congratulatory gifts one after another. Zhenhai Palace's gifts were the most precious, followed by the Han family's, while Taiyang Sect's gifts were also substantial.

Taiyang Sect's main stronghold was inland, controlling multiple metal ore veins, so they mainly presented ores and spirit wood.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had not expected the Han family to present such a substantial gift.

This favor was too great; the Wang family would naturally repay it if the opportunity arose.

A faint smile hung on Han Changfeng's face. These congratulatory gifts were merely a drop in the bucket for the Han family; he valued the Wang family's potential and considered it an investment.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Mengbin were all cultivators who had ascended from the lower realms, indicating the Wang family had great potential for future development.

Other guest representatives presented their gifts one after another. Apart from a few forces like the Yan family who could offer one or two sixth-order materials, most other subsidiary forces offered fifth-order materials.

"Many thanks to all fellow Daoists for traveling great distances to Qinglian Island to attend our celebration. We toast to all of you."

Wang Changsheng raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

Other cultivators also raised their cups and drank all the spirit wine within.

The cultivators clinked cups and chatted about everything under the sun.

Over two hours later, the banquet concluded, and most guests gradually departed. Wang Changsheng invited Han Changfeng and Ye Tianxue to stay longer, and they both accepted.

Back on Qinglian Peak, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in a green stone pavilion, chatting.

"With these materials, Madam can now freely refine sixth-order talismans."

Wang Changsheng said with a smile, noting that they had obtained many sixth-order beast hides, which Wang Ruyan could use to refine sixth-order talismans.

Wang Ruyan nodded and said with a regretful tone, "Unfortunately, there's no spiritual elixir that increases the chances of bearing offspring."

Wang Mengbin and Bai Yuqi had been together for many years, but without a spiritual elixir, they hadn't been able to have a child.

"Senior Sister Liu should have some. I'll find an opportunity to talk to her. Even if it's not the Nine Dragon Elixir, other spiritual items would also be good."

Wang Changsheng had long thought about this matter; if Bai Yuqi could have a child, it would aid the family's development and strengthen their sense of belonging.

A blue paper crane, flickering with runes, flew in and circled around them continuously.

Wang Ruyan cast a spell, and Sun Yuejiao's voice followed: "Father, Mother, a rogue cultivator named Sun Sihai is visiting, saying he has an urgent matter to discuss with you."
