Chapter 3067

Outside Wan Du Island, a tall, slender man in a black robe and a short, stout man in a golden robe stood high in the air. Their faces were pale, and they appeared to be severely drained of energy.

After escaping Wan Du Island, they had been waiting outside.

"Let's leave quickly!" the golden-robed man urged, his voice weak. "They are probably no match for their opponents. We have all personally experienced how powerful that late-stage Void Refinement cultivator's physical body is; it would be good enough if they could just escape."

"If not for them, we would have been killed," the black-robed man said in a deep voice. "I believe they are fine. If something happens to them, we will have a chance to avenge them in the future."

It was truly precious for strangers, who had only met by chance, to be willing to lend a helping hand.

The golden-robed man was about to say something else when a loud male voice rang out, "Aren't you leaving? Aren't you afraid they'll chase you out?"

No sooner had the words fallen than a stout man in a red shirt and a young woman with ordinary features in a white dress flew out from Wan Du Island. They were none other than Wang Qingfeng and Dong Xueli, who had altered their appearances.

They had used a treasure to disguise themselves, so they didn't need to worry about their true identities being discovered.

"I am Liu Lang, and this is my sworn brother Chen Wu. Many thanks to you two fellow Daoists for your help," the black-robed man said, cupping his hands in greeting as he introduced himself.

"It was nothing but a small effort. Leave here quickly!" Wang Qingfeng said with apprehension. "Their Water Escape Art is too powerful; we couldn't keep them. That late-stage Void Refinement cultivator's physical body is too strong."

Since it concerned the Myriad Treasures Divine Lord, he didn't want Liu Lang to know that they had eliminated the Void Refinement cultivator of the Green Carp Clan.

Unfortunately, the blue-robed elder had died under the restriction, so they didn't have much information. They only knew that the Dharma Protector Elder of the Green Carp Clan was looking for the disciples and grand-disciples of the Myriad Treasures Divine Lord.

Liu Lang was half-skeptical, as they had personally experienced the enemy's formidable power.

"In any case, many thanks to you two fellow Daoists for your assistance," Liu Lang asked courteously. "May I ask your names?"

"My surname is Wang. You two should leave here quickly!" Wang Qingfeng said, unwilling to elaborate further. He and Dong Xueli then flew towards the sky, disappearing into the horizon. "It would be troublesome if they came out this way."

Liu Lang's gaze flickered, his mind clearly occupied with something.

"Myriad Treasures Divine Lord!" Liu Lang called out. "Let's go! We should head back too!" With that, he and Chen Wu departed from the area.

Golden Carp Island, the Green Carp Clan's lair.

In the northeastern corner of the island was a vast estate.

A burly, green-robed elder sat in a stone pavilion, his gaze grim, his eyes distinctly green.

Qing Chi, the Dharma Protector Elder of the Green Carp Clan, was at the Mid-Integration stage.

The previous Dharma Protector Elder had died during a great heavenly tribulation, and he had only recently succeeded to the position.

A corpulent man in a green robe was reporting to Qing Chi, his expression anxious.

"You've been searching for so long, and still haven't found them?" Qing Chi said with a gloomy face. "Instead, you've suffered losses."

"The Myriad Treasures Divine Lord has been deceased for many years," the green-robed man said cautiously. "If his disciples didn't advance to the Mahayana stage, they would have long since perished. As for his grand-disciples, there are many human cultivators claiming to be his grand-disciples, but most are fakes. However, we have discovered the identity of one of the Myriad Treasures Divine Lord's grand-disciples and are sending people to apprehend them. We believe we can succeed."

After saying this, he took out a pale golden Dharma plate, infused it with a spell, and his face turned very grim.

"What? Failed?" Qing Chi asked with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist Lan and the others sent on the mission have successively perished; their vital soul lamps have all extinguished," the green-robed man said nervously. He then thought of something and cautiously asked, "Elder Qing, your intelligence source couldn't be wrong, could it?"

"Absolutely no mistake," Qing Chi commanded, his tone heavy. "Long Tianyu's wife, Bai Yaoyao, personally mentioned the deeds of the Hundred Puppets True Monarch to me. Combining that with the information I have, that treasure is very likely on the Hundred Puppets True Monarch. If he's dead, it's on his disciple. Send more people. You must capture those who know something. Issue an order: whoever achieves great merit will be rewarded with Azure Void Pills, five portions of Dharma Idol materials, and a mid-grade Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure."

"Yes, Elder Qing," the green-robed man readily agreed, bowing as he withdrew.

"It's a pity Bai Yaoyao was killed; otherwise, she might have provided some clues," Qing Chi muttered to himself, his face filled with regret.

Mystic Spirit Continent, Azure Lotus Valley.

On the wide and clean streets, people flowed like a tide, and the commotion of carriages and horses made it very lively.

A tall, slender young man in a green shirt walked around, looking about with an indifferent expression. His face was slightly pale, as if he had been injured.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the young man in the green shirt appeared at the entrance of a nine-story azure pavilion. The signboard above read "Azure Lotus Pavilion" in three large silver characters. Many cultivators were going in and out, and business was clearly thriving.

Azure Lotus Pavilion was the largest shop in Azure Lotus Valley, with a wide range of operations. As long as one could afford the price, even sixth-tier puppet beasts could be obtained. However, to acquire a sixth-tier puppet beast, one could only trade items for it.

The young man in the green shirt walked inside. The main hall was spacious and bright, with many cultivators browsing for goods.

He subtly released a trace of his Void Refinement stage aura. A shrewd-looking middle-aged man quickly walked over and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, Senior, to our humble establishment. How may I be of service to you?"

"Is your manager here? I need to discuss something with her," the young man in the green shirt asked.

"The manager is upstairs. Senior, please follow me," the middle-aged man said, leading the way and escorting the young man in the green shirt to the seventh floor.

A graceful woman in a purple dress sat on a chair, poring over account books.

The woman in the purple dress had delicate features, and judging by her aura, she was clearly a Mid-Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Wang Rumi, an elder under the Commerce Hall, was responsible for managing the family's business in Azure Lotus Valley.

The Commerce Hall primarily handled the Wang family's business, overseen by one Hall Master, five Deputy Hall Masters, and dozens of elders, each managing different affairs.

If an auction was to be held or rare materials acquired, a Deputy Hall Master would need to be present. The Hall Master and Deputy Hall Masters were generally Void Refinement cultivators, with ample time for cultivation.

"I, Wang Rumi, greet Senior," Wang Rumi said with a smile. "How may I be of assistance to you?"

"I heard that your Wang family's Azure Marrow Pills are excellent. I'd like to buy two bottles," the young man in the green shirt said straightforwardly.

"Azure Marrow Pills! I apologize, but we usually auction them off at auctions," Wang Rumi said politely. "We just held an auction not long ago, and they are not sold to the public normally. If Senior truly desires Azure Marrow Pills, you would need to exchange them for materials."

Generally, Azure Marrow Pills were auctioned to maximize profits. Aside from that, to obtain Azure Marrow Pills, one had to exchange them for materials, which was also a way for the Wang family to collect materials.

Some Void Refinement cultivators from rogue cultivation backgrounds or small families who wanted Azure Marrow Pills either exchanged them for materials or participated in auctions. It was a different matter if they had other fortuitous encounters.

If they were sold at a fixed price, no amount of Azure Marrow Pills would be enough.
