Chapter 3288: Thousand Spirit Order

If Fairy Furong were incompetent, she wouldn't have earned the title of the foremost rogue cultivator in the Xuanyang Realm; her great reputation is certainly well-deserved.

"Exactly," he said. "Even before she advanced to the Mahayana stage, Fairy Furong held her own against core members of the Tianyue Clan. After reaching the Mahayana stage, her power increased even more. It's said she obtained a broken Profound Sky treasure from an ancient battlefield in the Guangyun Realm. Its immense power allowed her to kill two Mahayana cultivators."

Jiang Feixue looked on with envy. As a rogue cultivator, it was already incredibly difficult to reach the Mahayana stage. Fairy Furong had incredible luck, obtaining a broken Profound Sky treasure that caused her strength to soar. Two Mahayana cultivators had already fallen at her hands, leading many cultivators to call her the foremost rogue cultivator in the Xuanyang Realm.

"A broken Profound Sky treasure! And she killed two Mahayana cultivators!" Wang Qingshan was secretly astonished. It seemed Fairy Furong had indeed encountered great fortune to acquire such an item.

"Otherwise, how could Fairy Furong be called the foremost rogue cultivator in the Xuanyang Realm? But I can't break into the circle of Mahayana cultivators, so I've only heard of her, never met her in person." Jiang Feixue said with a regretful expression.

"By the way, Fairy Jiang, have you ever heard of the Four Seasons Sword Venerable?" Wang Qingshan changed the subject.

"The Four Seasons Sword Venerable? I haven't heard of him. If he were a Mahayana cultivator, I might know, but it's hard to say for Integration stage cultivators. There are many of them on the Qianling Continent, and only a small number are widely known. Is there anything special about him?" Jiang Feixue asked curiously.

Wang Qingshan shook his head and changed the subject, discussing other topics. During their casual conversation, he mentioned several Integration stage cultivators.

"I heard True Lord Qingyan acquired a Soul Extinguishing Sword and also the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll?" Wang Qingshan casually remarked.

"I'm not sure," Jiang Feixue said with some uncertainty. "That's the rumor, but my great-grandfather only saw Lady Bloodspider over a thousand years ago. As for True Lord Qingyan, he hasn't appeared for many years; he's probably gone somewhere else." As she wasn't directly involved, she couldn't verify the authenticity of the information.

"Let's get back to business," Jiang Feixue said, returning to the main topic. "I don't have Styx River Water. You should exchange for something else."

Wang Qingshan took out a green jade slip, handed it to Jiang Feixue, and said, "These are the materials I'm looking to collect. How many can you provide?"

Jiang Feixue took the jade slip and scanned it with her divine sense. "I have Grade-6 Lightning Ray hide, Grade-7 Soul-Devouring Beast hide, Seven-Aperture Bloodwood... and Biyuan Jade. I can exchange for these items, but one Grade-6 puppet beast won't be enough."

The Five Lakes Alliance did not possess the crafting method for the Lightning Dispersion Talisman, so to them, a Grade-7 Soul-Devouring Beast hide was merely another Grade-7 beast hide. However, to Wang Ruyan, it was the primary material for crafting Lightning Dispersion Talismans.

What might be an ordinary material in your eyes could be a rare treasure in someone else's.

Wang Qingshan was secretly delighted. He had never expected to obtain a Grade-7 Soul-Devouring Beast hide so quickly.

Biyuan Jade could be used to craft Calamity Substitution Jade Talismans. Over the years, the Wang family had only managed to acquire two pieces, but this time, Wang Qingshan easily exchanged for two pieces of Biyuan Jade.

This also clearly showed that the cultivation resources on the Qianling Continent were indeed abundant.

"Three Grade-6 puppet beasts," Wang Qingshan said meaningfully, "but you'll also need to add another batch of other resources. I believe the Five Lakes Alliance's strength is considerable."

"No problem," Jiang Feixue agreed. Her tone then shifted as she asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Wang, do you have any Grade-7 puppet beasts for sale? I'd be willing to exchange items for them."

Wang Qingshan shook his head. "Fairy Jiang, you misunderstand. I cannot produce Grade-7 puppet beasts."

Producing three Grade-6 puppet beasts was already quite noticeable; revealing a Grade-7 one would be flaunting his wealth, which was a very dangerous thing to do in a foreign land.

"It's alright if you don't have Grade-7 puppet beasts," Jiang Feixue said, taking out a light green jade slip and handing it to Wang Qingshan. "These are the materials our Five Lakes Alliance is collecting. If Fellow Daoist Wang happens to acquire any of them, please consider us first. We will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Wang Qingshan took the jade slip, swept it with his divine sense, and frowned.

Jiang Feixue wanted to collect quite a few materials, including two types of Grade-7 demon beast hides and one type of Grade-7 demon insect inner core. Wang Qingshan remembered that the family's treasury had these, but they hadn't brought them along. Who would have known that these would be the materials the Five Lakes Alliance was looking to collect?

After chatting for a while, Wang Qingshan excused himself and left. The remaining matters could be left to Wang Yixin, as Jiang Feixue would send someone to discuss the specific exchange details with her.

Over two hours later, Wang Qingshan returned to his residence. He released the stone figure, took out the Seven-Colored Flowing Jade and a crystal core, and tossed them to it.

The stone figure's rough hands grasped the Seven-Colored Flowing Jade and the crystal core. Its hands glowed with a dazzling yellow light, and the jade and core visibly merged into its body.

After a moment, the stone figure transformed into a massive yellow stone.

Just as spirit beasts fall into a deep sleep after consuming high-grade demon cores, the stone figure also needed to rest when refining rare metals and strange stones. If he could obtain a crystal core from an Integration stage stone spirit for it, it might even be able to advance to the Integration stage.

Wang Qingshan entered a private chamber and meditated to regulate his qi.

In a manor, Ye Tongtian sat calmly in a stone pavilion.

Qin Xiaofeng was speaking, looking deeply troubled.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please mediate for us. We cannot bear the wrath of the Chi Clan!" Qin Xiaofeng's tone was sincere.

A Qin family disciple had been traveling and, while contending for a treasure, killed a member of the Chi Clan. They failed to silence the witness, and since the Chi Clan had a Mahayana cultivator, this matter could escalate significantly or be resolved quietly.

"Hmph, you people are getting better and better at causing trouble," Ye Tongtian chastised impolitely. "You're always relying on our Ye family to clean up your messes."

Qin Xiaofeng hesitated slightly, then took out a light silver square token. The word "Qianling" was inscribed in two large golden characters on its front, and spiritual light flickered around it.

"Is this a Qianling Command Token?" Ye Tongtian exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the origin of the square token.

"This is a Qianling Command Token we managed to collect," Qin Xiaofeng said politely. "Please help us out, Fellow Daoist Ye."

Ye Tongtian's expression softened. He recalled something and said with a frown, "I heard a Qian family obtained a Qianling Command Token, and their ancestral land was subsequently breached by unknown masters, with no survivors."

Qin Xiaofeng quickly shook his head. "That has nothing to do with us; we didn't do it. We obtained this Qianling Command Token from an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling."

"I hope so," Ye Tongtian said in a deep voice. "Our Ye family supports your Qin family so you can collect cultivation resources, not so you can rely on our backing to plunder and kill everywhere, especially against fellow clansmen."

"Of course not," Qin Xiaofeng said honestly, handing the Qianling Command Token to Ye Tongtian. "Our Qin family has always kept to its duties."

"I hope so," Ye Tongtian said. "Cause us less trouble in the future. Fortunately, you killed someone from the Chi Clan. If it had been a member of the Stone Cocoon Clan or the Yinmei Clan, and the news leaked, our Ye family wouldn't be able to protect you." Qin Xiaofeng repeatedly affirmed, his expression respectful.

"Alright, I'll report this. This matter will be credited as a merit for you. Continue to pay attention to any news regarding the Qianling Command Token." After saying that, Ye Tongtian stood up and left.
