Chapter 2388: Exchange for Dharma Phase Materials

The main headquarters of Zhenhai Palace were located on Piaoyun Island. A dense green bamboo forest surrounded a simple green bamboo building.

Chen Yueying sat on a bamboo chair, looking slightly haggard. She had already taken a healing elixir and would need millennia of quiet recovery to fully recuperate. If Yang Qinglong hadn't provided the healing elixir, her recovery would have taken even longer.

Fang Ming was reporting to Chen Yueying. The Ascension Faction had suffered heavy losses in the recent battle, but the Wang family had performed admirably, bringing honor to their faction.

"I need to focus on my recovery," Chen Yueying instructed, her voice weak. "From now on, you will handle all these matters. Prioritize supporting the Wang and Zhao families; I hope they can bear the main responsibility."

"Yes, Senior Aunt Chen," Fang Ming replied.

"Once my injuries heal, I will definitely settle this score with them," Chen Yueying declared, her face filled with killing intent. As one of the few Spirit Body cultivators in Zhenhai Palace and the leader of the Ascension Faction, her strength was naturally formidable. However, soon after she passed the Great Heavenly Tribulation, the foreign races attacked, and coupled with Shi Haotian's betrayal, she suffered a great loss.

Fang Ming took out a shimmering spirit disk, cast a spell into it, and respectfully announced, "Senior Aunt Chen, Junior Brother Wang has arrived and is waiting outside."

"Let him in! I'd also like to meet him," Chen Yueying instructed, noting that Wang Changsheng had killed several Void Refinement stage foreign cultivators this time, bringing great prestige to the Ascension Faction.

Fang Ming acknowledged and made some gestures on the spirit disk. A moment later, Wang Changsheng entered. He bowed to Chen Yueying and said, "Disciple greets Senior Aunt Chen."

"No need for formalities," Chen Yueying encouraged. "Junior Nephew Liu and the others have told me about your accomplishments. You've done very well. I hope you continue to strive, and ideally, advance to the Body Integration stage."

Wang Changsheng acknowledged, then took out ten exquisite blue jade boxes, handed them to Chen Yueying, and said, "These are spiritual medicines I seized from the enemy; I hope they will be of some help to Senior Aunt Chen."

Jin Shuo's storage ring contained many high-grade spiritual medicines. As a young clan leader, he possessed five ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and over fifty eight-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. The Golden Roc clan could not defend Skyroc Island, so their high-ranking members fled with some treasures from their vault, dispersing to avoid being completely wiped out by the human race. The high-aged spiritual medicines Jin Shuo carried were obtained from this vault.

As Chen Yueying was the leader of the Ascension Faction and had suffered severe injuries, Wang Changsheng naturally felt he should offer something.

Chen Yueying took the jade boxes and opened them to look inside, finding one ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and nine eight-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines.

"It hasn't been easy for you either," Chen Yueying said. "Just say what you want!"

"This disciple wishes to acquire some materials for condensing Dharma Idols; I can offer other items in exchange," Wang Changsheng said sincerely. The Wang family had over fifty Spirit Transformation cultivators, with more expected in the future. While other materials were relatively easy to obtain, the Wang family found it very difficult to collect materials for condensing Dharma Idols, making Zhenhai Palace the ideal source.

As the saying goes, having connections in high places makes things easier. When Wang Qingshan led his team on the expedition, he received considerable care and convenience from the Ascension Faction on the front lines, demonstrating the advantage of having powerful backing.

Chen Yueying had been wounded by the foreign races and was expected to require a long period of recovery. If Wang Changsheng missed this opportunity, he didn't know how many years it would be before he could see Chen Yueying again.

"Junior Nephew Fang, please handle this," Chen Yueying instructed. "If there's nothing else, you may both leave. I need to enter secluded cultivation to heal for a while. Do not disturb my recovery unless it's an urgent matter." Wang Changsheng and Fang Ming acknowledged and left the bamboo building.

"Senior Brother Fang, I've acquired quite a bit of Profound Crane Divine Wood; please accept some," Wang Changsheng said, taking out a green storage ring and handing it to Fang Ming.

Fang Ming scanned it with his spiritual sense, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Junior Brother Wang, what materials do you want?" Fang Ming asked, his tone becoming warmer, knowing there were many types of materials for condensing Dharma Idols.

"Sound-element materials, lightning-element materials, and Five-Element materials," Wang Changsheng stated truthfully.

"Sound-element and lightning-element materials are quite rare, and Zhenhai Palace doesn't have many; they are very difficult to acquire," Fang Ming said, looking troubled. "Five-Element materials are relatively easier."

Wang Changsheng nodded. "Just get as much as you can! I can exchange them for cultivation resources, be it refining materials or alchemy ingredients. Oh, and if there's any Divine Earth Thunder, that would be great."

Materials for condensing Dharma Idols were what the Wang family needed most, and also the most difficult for them to acquire.

"Divine Earth Thunder? I'll inquire about that for you," Fang Ming said. "For now, you can stay on Piaoyun Island, and I'll notify you once I've handled it." Fang Ming agreed, arranged accommodations for Wang Changsheng, and then went to the Deacon Hall to get busy.

Wang Changsheng didn't idly wait. He went to a huge valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, which was filled with a sea of green mist, making it impossible to discern what was inside.

He sent out a sound transmission talisman. Soon after, the green mist violently churned, revealing a path, and Yang Qinglong's voice came from within the valley: "Junior Nephew Wang, come in!"

Wang Changsheng acknowledged and walked in.

Passing through the sea of green mist, Wang Changsheng suddenly found himself in a vast estate. Yang Qinglong sat in a green stone pavilion, looking somewhat haggard.

"Disciple greets Senior Aunt Yang," Wang Changsheng said. "These are spiritual medicines I seized from the foreign races; I hope they will be useful to Senior Aunt Yang." He took out ten exquisite jade boxes and handed them to Yang Qinglong, which also contained one ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and nine eight-thousand-year-old spiritual medicines.

Yang Qinglong opened the jade boxes, glanced inside, nodded, and said, "Just tell me directly what you want!"

Wang Changsheng knew how to conduct himself, and Yang Qinglong greatly appreciated him.

"I wonder if Senior Aunt Yang still has any Nine Dragon Pills?" Wang Changsheng asked cautiously. The Wang family had several Heaven Spirit Root cultivators, but no Spirit Body cultivators.

Whether in the Dongli Realm or the Xuanyang Realm, Spirit Body cultivators were highly valued by major powers, as certain individuals could lead a force to glory.

"No, the main ingredients for the Nine Dragon Pill are hard to find," Yang Qinglong replied. "Your physical body cultivation is quite good, though. This is a Black Dragon Pill I refined; it can strengthen your physical power. It's made primarily from the essence blood of a sixth-tier flood dragon and six-thousand-year-old Black Dragon Grass. Please take it!" Yang Qinglong then took out a black porcelain bottle and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng expressed his gratitude and accepted the black porcelain bottle.

Yang Qinglong asked about the process of Wang Changsheng's extermination of the foreign races, and then allowed him to leave.

Fang Ming was very efficient; in less than seven days, he had acquired some materials for condensing Dharma Idols.

Water-Glass Crystal, Earthen Stone, and Gold-Prosperity Crystal had all been exchanged using contribution points.

Fang Ming had other Void Refinement cultivators use their contribution points to exchange for these three materials. Wang Changsheng then provided a sum of sixth-tier materials as compensation, making the transaction legitimate and unproblematic on paper.

When one had help, rules could be bent; without help, one could only adhere to them.

In addition, there were two Divine Earth Thunders.

"Thank you for the trouble, Senior Brother Fang," Wang Changsheng said gratefully.

"No need to be polite among ourselves," Fang Ming instructed. "A Body Integration cultivator has emerged in the Song family, and Senior Aunt Chen hopes your Wang family can quickly grow strong enough to contend with them."

Wang Changsheng agreed and chatted for a few more moments before taking his leave.
