Chapter 3113

“Qianyuan Continent! Grandma Golden Butterfly.”

Wang Qingshan’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

The five, including Wang Mengbin, had traveled to Qianyuan Continent, and he wondered how they were doing.

“I heard my twelfth uncle mention Grandma Golden Butterfly before. I heard the She family is skilled in controlling insects and taming beasts, comparable to the Ten Thousand Spirit Gate in Xuanling Continent.”

Li Qinghuan said with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you flatter us. Our She family still has quite a gap compared to the Ten Thousand Spirit Gate. We merely have a slight understanding of insect-controlling and beast-taming arts.”

She Yufeng replied modestly.

“Fellow Daoist She, please have a seat and let’s talk! Try the Snow Tea from the Wang family of Green Lotus Island.”

Zhao Long motioned for She Yufeng to sit down, picked up the teapot, and poured She Yufeng a cup of spirit tea. The tea was white.

“Excellent tea.”

She Yufeng took a sip of the spirit tea and complimented it politely.

Lu Yuyun and the others introduced themselves. Upon learning that Wang Qingshan was from the Wang family of Green Lotus Island, She Yufeng looked at Wang Qingshan and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Wang, I hear your family is skilled at cultivating Flood Dragons. Surely you haven’t managed to cultivate a Seventh-tier Flood Dragon, have you?”

The Green Lotus Immortal Couple became famous after a single battle, and some information about the Wang family spread to the Azure Glaze Sea Domain. The Wang family raised many Flood Dragons, and there was a Nine Dragon Palace in the Azure Glaze Sea Domain, which piqued the interest of cultivators there.

As soon as She Yufeng spoke, the cultivators all turned to look at Wang Qingshan.

If the Wang family could cultivate a Seventh-tier Flood Dragon, that would be truly incredible.

“Fellow Daoist She, you’re joking. How could a Seventh-tier Flood Dragon be so easily cultivated? Even a Sixth-tier Flood Dragon is difficult.”

Wang Qingshan explained with a wry smile.

Rumors were terrifying; it was a case of “three men make a tiger.” Even if the Wang family tried to refute them, the rumors still flew everywhere. There was nothing that could be done about it. Whether it was an individual, a family, or a sect, as long as they had a certain reputation, various rumors would circulate. Only those involved knew the truth.

The Xuanling Celestial Venerable was a legend in the Xuan Yang Realm, leaving behind legends of slaying demons and devils and bringing peace and order throughout the realm. However, many of these deeds were not actually performed by the Xuanling Celestial Venerable.

“That’s true. If Seventh-tier Flood Dragons were so easy to cultivate, the human race in Xuanling Continent would have long since swept aside the other races.”

Li Qinghuan agreed.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, be extra careful in the Azure Glaze Sea Domain. If you encounter Integration-stage cultivators from the Nine Dragon Palace, try to avoid them. They deeply resent individuals or forces that raise Flood Dragons.”

Zhao Long reminded him kindly.

“Ever since Long Shuo stopped appearing, the Nine Dragon Palace has been embroiled in internal strife, with every change of Palace Lord sparking another round of infighting. They wouldn’t have the energy to bother Fellow Daoist Wang. Fellow Daoist Zhao, you worry too much.”

Li Qinghuan said dismissively.

“There’s no harm in being careful; it’s better to be cautious. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Zhao.”

Wang Qingshan thanked him and made a mental note of it.

The cultivators began to chat, and the conversation turned to the Ten Thousand Spirit Ruins.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Ruins had opened, and many human cultivators had entered it to seek treasure.

“I heard someone encountered a Seventh-tier Six-Eyed Sand Spider. These spiders are incredibly venomous and possess petrification abilities. Ordinary treasures can easily be petrified by them.”

“The Seventh-tier Tiger Phoenix Butterfly is the most formidable. This demonic insect is proficient in spatial abilities; even Integration-stage cultivators cannot withstand a Seventh-tier Tiger Phoenix Butterfly.”

“If you ask me, the Nine Palace Soul Annihilation Restriction is the most terrifying. If you encounter a Seventh-tier Tiger Phoenix Butterfly or Six-Eyed Sand Spider, there’s still a certain chance of escape. But if you trigger the Nine Palace Soul Annihilation Formation, even a Seventh-tier high-grade Flood Dragon would be annihilated, let alone cultivators.”

The cultivators spoke over one another, discussing the horrors of the Ten Thousand Spirit Ruins.

“I heard the Wu Clan acquired a Seventh-tier mid-grade Nine-Colored Worm. Tsk, tsk. If the Wu Clan cultivates it to Seventh-tier high-grade, I imagine they won’t be lacking Tribulation Transcending materials anymore.”

Li Qinghuan clicked his tongue in wonder, his face full of envy.

“That’s not necessarily true. Perhaps another race obtained the Seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm and framed the Wu Clan, hoping to incite a major conflict between us and them.”

The golden-robed man was unimpressed. Changing the subject, he said, “Fellow Daoist She, your She family must raise Nine-Colored Worms, don’t you? Have you cultivated any Seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worms?”

“Nine-Colored Worms are very difficult to propagate, and even harder to cultivate. High-tier Nine-Colored Worms are only found in certain forbidden lands or secret realms; artificial cultivation is too challenging. If we had Seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worms, I wouldn’t be traveling to the Azure Glaze Sea Domain to search for Tribulation Transcending materials.”

She Yufeng shook his head.

After chatting for over half an hour, the cultivators began to exchange materials. Tribulation Transcending materials were the most sought after, but no one had any to offer. Instead, the exchanges primarily involved Dharma Idol materials.

She Yufeng presented dozens of materials: Dharma Idol materials, Seventh-tier demon cores, spirit herbs, Seventh-tier beast hides, and more. Most of these were unique to the Qianyuan Continent. Besides exchanging for Dharma Idol materials, She Yufeng also traded for three pieces of Seventh-tier ore.

The other cultivators didn’t think much of it. She Yufeng collecting Seventh-tier artifact refining materials didn't necessarily mean he was refining artifacts himself; perhaps he was gathering them for his clan members. It was common for people to help each other acquire materials they couldn’t get on their own.

When it was Wang Qingshan’s turn, he presented dozens of items. Besides Dharma Idol materials, he also had two large pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore.

“I’m looking to trade for Netherworld River Water, Seventh-tier Wood Demon Crystal Cores, Seventh-tier Flood Dragon Inner Cores, Heavenly Soul Divine Crystals, hundred-thousand-year-old Heavenly Lotus Wood, Seventh-tier Lightning Attraction Orbs….”

The items Wang Qingshan wanted to exchange for were quite valuable. The items he put forth were also extraordinary, as the Golden Roc clan had accumulated considerable wealth.

He and Wang Ruyan had amassed a large fortune after annihilating the Golden Roc clan.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, I’ll trade you this Seventh-tier Wood Demon Crystal Core for those two pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore.”

She Yufeng took out a green jade box, handed it to Wang Qingshan, and transmitted his voice.

Wang Qingshan took the jade box, opened it, and saw a blood-red crystal core inside.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, I’ll trade you over a hundred jin of Netherworld River Water for your raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore.”

Zhao Long took out a palm-sized black gourd, handed it to Wang Qingshan, and transmitted his voice.

Wang Qingshan pondered for a moment, then took out two more large pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore, trading them for the Seventh-tier Wood Demon Crystal Core and over a hundred jin of Netherworld River Water.

Seeing Wang Qingshan produce four large pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore, the cultivators were somewhat surprised. It seemed the Wang family was very wealthy! As a sword cultivator, Wang Qingshan unexpectedly had four large pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore.

They didn't dwell on it, though. After all, the human race in Xuanling Continent had just annihilated the Lizard Clan, and the Wang family was backed by Zhenhai Palace. It was quite normal for Wang Qingshan to be wealthy.

After more than half an hour, the exchange concluded. The cultivators chatted for a bit longer before returning to their respective residences to rest.

She Yufeng returned to a secluded small courtyard with green tiles. Inside the courtyard were a two-story green pavilion and a green bamboo gazebo.

As soon as he returned, a tall young man in a golden robe emerged from the green pavilion. Judging by his aura, he was unmistakably an Integration-stage cultivator.

“Did you get the high-tier ore?”

The golden-robed young man asked impatiently, his face full of anticipation.

She Yufeng took out two pieces of raw Azure Gang Divine Jade ore and three pieces of Seventh-tier ore, handing them to the golden-robed young man. The golden-robed young man took them and began to gnaw on them, consuming all five pieces of Seventh-tier artifact refining materials.

The golden-robed young man was the transformed form of a Seventh-tier mid-grade Nine-Colored Worm. After consuming a Spirit-Awakening Pill, it had successfully transformed into human form. She Yufeng named him She Xin.
