Chapter 3215: Green Hills Return

Ten years passed quickly.

A massive treasure ship, glowing with blue light, appeared on the sea surface. A gourd pattern was visible on its sails, and Wang Qingshan and hundreds of other cultivators stood on the deck, each with a different expression.

Soon after, Wang Qingshan spotted a patrol of Zhenhai Palace disciples. Wang Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with joy, as he realized they had finally returned.

The Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship docked at Tianhai Market, where many figures could be seen moving about. Wang Qingshan and the other passengers disembarked in succession, lining up to enter.

In a secluded manor, Wang Qingshan and his companions sat in a blue stone pavilion. A shrewd-looking man in a golden robe was reporting to them. Upon learning that racial conflicts had erupted sixty years prior, Wang Qingshan and the others were startled. Fortunately, Wang Mengbin and two others had advanced to the Integration Stage; otherwise, the Wang family would have suffered a severe blow. Wang Qingshan remarked that their family still had too few Integration Stage cultivators, expressing his hope that Qingfeng and Xueli would also be able to reach that stage, which would be ideal. He then urged them to return home.

The seven individuals, including Wang Qingshan, departed Tianhai Market and flew towards Qinglian Island.

Upon returning to Qinglian Island, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, and Dong Xueli arrived at Qinglian Peak. A blue mist enveloped the peak, and Wang Qingshan sent out a sound transmission talisman. Soon after, the blue mist churned violently, revealing a vast manor. Wang Ruyan was seated in a blue stone pavilion, smiling. She greeted them with relief, exclaiming that Qingshan, Qingfeng, and Xueli had finally returned. She then anxiously inquired about her in-law, wondering why he wasn't with them and if something had happened.

The three, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, and Dong Xueli, flew to Wang Ruyan. Dong Xueli explained that her father was fine and had returned to the Cangyuan Mountain Range. Hearing this, Wang Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Qingshan then took out a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book and a blue jade slip. He excitedly handed them to Wang Ruyan, explaining that they had acquired a page from the Heavenly Void Jade Book, which contained various methods for crafting puppet beasts, and even the techniques for making Trans-Spirit Treasure Ships. Wang Ruyan gasped, taking the jade book and slip. As her spiritual sense entered the jade slip, her breathing grew heavy; she clearly understood the immense value of that page from the Heavenly Void Jade Book. She then asked how they had managed to obtain it.

Wang Qingfeng recounted the entire story, praising his seventh brother's exceptional strength, without which, he stated, they would not have been able to snatch the Heavenly Void Jade Book from the Azure Carp Clan and the Nine Dragon Palace. Wang Qingshan humbly stated that it wasn't his achievement alone, but everyone's. He explained that if they hadn't killed the Azure Carp Integration Stage cultivator and learned they were looking for the disciples of the Myriad Treasure Divine Monarch, they wouldn't have tracked the Azure Carp cultivators, and he also emphasized the significant role played by Tun Tian's Spirit Eye divine ability.

He then took out the Nine Flame Gourd and handed it to Wang Ruyan, informing her that it contained the captured Level 7 Ice Flame. He then asked about his Ninth Uncle. Wang Ruyan explained that he had gone to Xuanqing Sect to participate in the crafting of a Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship and was not currently on Qinglian Island, putting away the Nine Flame Gourd. Wang Qingfeng sounded surprised, asking if Xuanqing Sect was about to have its own Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship, given his participation in its crafting. Wang Ruyan clarified that it might not necessarily be for Xuanqing Sect. She mentioned that Senior Brother Zhao had told her Zhenhai Palace had also contributed many rare materials, and based on the timeline, it was likely to be completed soon. She then kindly told Qingfeng and Xueli that they must be tired from their journey and should go back to rest, as she wished to speak with Qingshan alone. Wang Qingfeng and Dong Xueli acknowledged her words and turned to leave.

Wang Ruyan then took out an exquisite blue jade box and handed it to Wang Qingshan, telling him it contained a Blightbloom Fruit that Mengbin and the others had brought back, and that he should accept it. Wang Qingshan exclaimed, recognizing it as a Blightbloom Fruit. He took the jade box and, after a brief thought, asked about her and his Ninth Uncle. Wang Ruyan explained that Mengbin and the others had only obtained eight fruits: one for each of them, three for the clan, and the remaining one was for him. After much consideration, she decided to give Wang Qingshan a Blightbloom Fruit. She had hoped Wang Mengbin would obtain dozens of them so that every high-level cultivator in the clan could have one, but reality had not met her expectations. Wang Qingshan thanked her, accepting the precious Blightbloom Fruit, knowing its value. Wang Ruyan then recalled something else, adding that Mengbin and the others had acquired the complete cultivation method for the 'Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture,' so his subsequent cultivation methods were now available. She instructed him to simply consult the Scripture Depository. Wang Qingshan was overjoyed to learn that the complete cultivation method for the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture was available.

After a brief chat, Wang Qingshan handed some items to Wang Ruyan and then left Qinglian Peak.

At Xuanqing Sect, within a secret chamber about an acre in size, numerous artifact-refining materials were laid out on the ground. Wang Changsheng, Lin Yiyi, Liu Qing, Zheng Tianhong, and Fairy Yufu were gathered together. A glowing ship stern floated in mid-air, its runes flickering. Zheng Tianhong breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he declared that it was finally crafted and ready to be delivered. Wang Changsheng nodded and instructed them to contact Madam Qin and hand over the item. Fairy Yufu took out a communication plate and contacted Qin Yufeng.

A short while later, Fairy Yufu opened the secret chamber door, and Qin Yufeng walked in. Fairy Yufu then addressed the sect leader, stating that they had completed their task and requested her inspection, pointing to the enormous ship stern. Qin Yufeng carefully inspected it, and after confirming everything was in order, nodded. She then took out a light blue Dharma plate, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and expressed her gratitude for their hard work. She instructed them to each select three materials as compensation for their efforts. Given the limited number of materials, choosing first offered a significant advantage. With Chen Yueying supporting him, Wang Changsheng naturally had priority. Wang Changsheng didn't hesitate, taking the blue Dharma plate and examining it carefully. There were indeed many valuable items, though no East Yi Divine Wood or Level 7 Lightning-Absorbing Pearl. Wang Changsheng selected three materials: a Heavenly Soul Divine Crystal, a Level 7 Soul-Devouring Beast hide, and a Level 7 Spirit-Seeking Mouse's inner core. After making his selections, Wang Changsheng handed the Dharma plate to Zheng Tianhong, and the three, including Zheng Tianhong, took turns choosing treasures.

Qin Yufeng then recalled something, mentioning that decades ago, the Silver Shark Clan and the subsidiary races of the Golden Scale Clan had jointly attacked the Wang family. However, Wang Changsheng's wife had handled the situation appropriately, repelling them with minimal losses. She added that his descendants, True Monarch Zixiao and True Monarch Badao, had subsequently captured the Snow Mussel Clan's stronghold and annihilated the clan. Had the conflict escalated back then, Xuanqing Sect would certainly have sent support. However, without any major conflicts of interest, the Silver Shark Clan and the Golden Scale Clan had ceased their hostilities. Wang Changsheng nodded without comment. Zheng Tianhong congratulated Wang Changsheng, remarking on the increasing strength of the Wang family. Liu Qing furrowed her brows but said nothing.
