Chapter 3061: 荡月之墓

Judging by his aura, he was clearly a Void Refinement cultivator.

"Senior He, I will send someone to inform you immediately once the goods arrive," the woman in the pink skirt said politely.

"Alright, you can carry on with your work. There's no need to see me off." The brawny man in the gold robe waved his hand and strode downstairs.

"Shopkeeper, this senior wishes to discuss something with you!" the old man in the silver robe said, pointing at Wang Mengbin.

"I understand, you may go. I will attend to this senior," the woman in the pink skirt instructed, dismissing the old man.

"My name is Luo Yue, the shopkeeper of Qiankun Pavilion. May I ask your esteemed name, Senior?" the woman in the pink skirt introduced herself and asked politely.

"My surname is Wang. I heard Qiankun Pavilion is the largest establishment on Liuli Island, so I came to have a look," Wang Mengbin replied.

"Ah, Senior Wang. Please come upstairs; we can discuss further there." Luo Yue gestured invitingly and led Wang Mengbin upstairs.

As soon as Wang Mengbin sat down, a young, beautiful maid in a green dress approached, carrying a cup of fragrant spiritual tea. She placed the tea down and then withdrew.

"This is Woyun Tea, cultivated by the Wa Clan. It tastes quite good," Luo Yue introduced.

Wang Mengbin picked up the teacup and took a small sip. It was somewhat bitter at first, but soon the bitterness transformed into a sweet aftertaste, dispelling all fatigue and leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"May I know what you are looking to purchase, Senior Wang?" Luo Yue asked enthusiastically.

Wang Mengbin took out a light green jade slip and handed it to Luo Yue.

Luo Yue swept her divine sense over it and said with a troubled expression, "The jade slip lists quite a lot of materials. Our establishment only has a portion of them."

Wang Mengbin's desired purchases were numerous and varied, none of them ordinary items. Luo Yue could tell that Wang Mengbin was not a typical Void Refinement cultivator; he likely came from a powerful faction.

"A portion is fine then," Wang Mengbin nodded and took a sip of the spiritual tea.

Luo Yue took out a light golden compass, imbued it with a spell, and made some calculations. After putting down the golden compass, she began to chat casually with Wang Mengbin.

"By the way, I heard a treasure appeared in the Tomb of Dawning Moon," Wang Mengbin said casually.

According to the remnant soul of Hunyuanzi's clone, the Tan Yuan Fruit was in the Tomb of Dawning Moon.

The Tomb of Dawning Moon is a perilous region on the Qianyuan Continent, located at the intersection of the Giant, Ancient Vault, and Jade Yin races' territories. It is said to be an ancient battlefield left behind by Heavenly Venerate Xuanling.

The Jinxia Race once had numerous masters, with three Mahayana cultivators at their peak. It was rumored that the Jinxia Race kept human cultivators as livestock. Later, Heavenly Venerate Xuanling arrived on the Qianyuan Continent and, using great divine abilities, annihilated the Jinxia Race's three Mahayana cultivators. The battlefield, the Dawning Moon Mountain Range, was also reduced to ruins, becoming an ancient battlefield that, through the passage of time, evolved into the Tomb of Dawning Moon.

There are also rumors that the Jinxia Race was destroyed by the Heavenly Moon Race, and Heavenly Venerate Xuanling never even came to the Qianyuan Continent. After the Jinxia Race's demise, the Heavenly Moon Race emerged from various other races, taking over most of the Jinxia Race's territory. By combining distant attacks with close alliances, the Heavenly Moon Race's domain grew to its current vast size.

Another theory suggests that the Jinxia Race captured a direct descendant of a true spirit, and the true spirit sought revenge, eliminating the Jinxia Race's Mahayana cultivators.

There are many theories, but regardless of which is true, it is a fact that the Tomb of Dawning Moon is rich in cultivation resources, attracting many cultivators to seek treasures. However, few who successfully acquire treasures manage to survive. Despite this, many cultivators continue to flock to the Tomb of Dawning Moon in search of treasures.

"Indeed, it's true. It's said to be a treasure left behind by the Jinxia Race. Cultivators from the Ancient Cang Race and the Jade Yin Race fought fiercely over it, and ultimately, a Jade Yin Race cultivator obtained it. The Jade Yin Race is incredibly fast; cultivators of the same rank rarely manage to catch up to them," Luo Yue explained. Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Senior, if you plan to go to the Tomb of Dawning Moon, it might be best to wait a little while. I heard the Ancient Vault Race has dispatched many experts into the Tomb of Dawning Moon, seemingly searching for something. True Monarch Thunder Phoenix, one of the Nine Sages, unfortunately perished after encountering an Ancient Vault Race expert."

The nine most powerful Integration cultivators of the human race on Qianyuan Continent are known as the Nine Sages. This title exists only among humans. The Nine Sages possess at least mid-Integration stage cultivation and are incredibly powerful. True Monarch Thunder Phoenix was one of the Nine Sages and earned his name by rearing a sixth-tier Thunder Phoenix.

Wang Mengbin nodded thoughtfully. In truth, he knew nothing about what was happening in the Tomb of Dawning Moon; he had simply asked casually to steer the conversation towards it. He had purchased information from the Seven Moons Pavilion and knew of the Tomb of Dawning Moon's existence, but not in much detail.

Just then, a tall man in a gold robe walked up, respectfully handed Luo Yue a green storage ring with both hands, bowed, and then withdrew.

"Senior Wang, please take a look and see if these are the items you wanted." Luo Yue handed the storage ring to Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin swept his divine sense over it, nodded, chatted for a while, paid the spirit stones, and then stood up to leave. Luo Yue rose to see him off.

As soon as he walked out of Qiankun Pavilion, a bald, burly man with thick eyebrows and large eyes approached him. The bald man had thick limbs and bronzed skin. Two golden short axes were tucked into his waist, and a formidable killing aura emanated from him. A green spirit beast bracelet adorned his left wrist. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

"Vajra Rogue!" Wang Mengbin recognized him. Liu Liang had introduced him to human masters, including some powerful Void Refinement cultivators, and Vajra Rogue was one of them. Vajra Rogue was a body cultivator with immense strength. He also reared a swarm of Vajra Worms and once gained fame by single-handedly defeating two opponents and annihilating three Void Refinement cultivators from other races.

Vajra Rogue glanced at Wang Mengbin, paid him no further attention, and strode into Qiankun Pavilion.

Wang Mengbin went to an open area and waited quietly. Half an hour later, Wang Yingjie and the other four emerged from their respective shops and met up with Wang Mengbin.

"Let's go! We should find a place to stay first." The five of them, including Wang Mengbin, left the square, rented a quiet small courtyard, and settled in.

The courtyard contained a three-story green pavilion and a green stone pavilion. The five of them, including Wang Mengbin, sat in the stone pavilion, taking turns sharing the information they had gathered.

Luo Yue had not lied; recently, experts from the Ancient Vault Race and the Jade Yin Race had been frequently clashing in the Tomb of Dawning Moon, and some high-level cultivators had been caught in the conflict and tragically perished.

"Let's settle down on Liuli Island for now. We can make our plans after the situation calms down. In the meantime, let's give the remnant soul of Hunyuanzi's clone a physical body. It's close to dissipating," Wang Mengbin suggested.

The remnant soul of Hunyuanzi's clone had left the Soul-Breaking Orb and resided in the Soul Nurturing Bead. Even so, its soul was still slowly dissipating, though at a slower rate.

Wang Yingjie and the other four had no objections and agreed. With the Ancient Vault Race and the Jade Yin Race clashing fiercely in the Tomb of Dawning Moon, it would not be wise to seek treasures there right now. Furthermore, the Tomb of Dawning Moon is located at the intersection of three racial territories, and reaching it would require traversing trillions of miles, passing through the domains of multiple races.

Thus, they settled down on Liuli Island.
