Chapter 3377: Hefty Congratulatory Gift

Given Wang Qingcheng's status and position, anyone he personally greets must be a Mahayana cultivator.

Chen Yueying was completely bewildered. She hadn't heard Wang Changsheng mention inviting other Mahayana cultivators. Could it be a Mahayana cultivator from the Cyan Glaze Sea Region?

Not long after, a resonant male voice came from the sky: "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Wang. I'm surprised to learn you've advanced to the Mahayana stage. Congratulations!"

A massive treasure ship flew onto Azure Lotus Island, hovering above the bluestone plaza. It was the Ni family's Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ship, with Divine Lord Xuanji and Ni Wuting standing on it.

Ni Wuting had finally managed to find Divine Lord Xuanji and asked him for a divination. Divine Lord Xuanji then accompanied Ni Wuting on his Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ship, intending to travel to other realms. When they passed by Xuanling Continent, they heard that the Wang family was holding a Mahayana celebration for Wang Changsheng, so they specifically came to offer their congratulations.

"A Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ship! Which cultivation family does this belong to?"

Lan Fukong and the other cultivators exchanged glances, not recognizing the Ni family cultivators.

"Divine Lord Xuanji, did you specifically come to attend Fellow Daoist Wang's Mahayana celebration? And Fellow Daoist Ni?"

Ye Yuhan asked curiously. While others might not recognize Divine Lord Xuanji, he certainly did.

"Divine Lord Xuanji, the one hailed as the foremost diviner in the Profound Yang Realm?"

True Monarch Wan Hai was utterly shocked.

He had heard others mention Divine Lord Xuanji and had also wanted to seek his divination, but Divine Lord Xuanji was elusive, virtually impossible to find.

He never expected Divine Lord Xuanji to attend Wang Changsheng's Mahayana celebration. Wang Changsheng's connections were far wider than he had imagined; it seemed he had underestimated him.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yueying's eyes. She had heard Wang Changsheng mention Divine Lord Xuanji before and had even asked him if he'd invited him. Wang Changsheng had said the journey was too long to notify him. Had Divine Lord Xuanji come uninvited?

"That looks like the clan emblem of the Ni family from Guangyun Realm!"

Zheng Qiuyue recognized the Ni family's clan emblem. She was well-traveled and knowledgeable, having accompanied Zheng Tianhong to Thousand Spirit Continent.

"The foremost diviner in the Profound Yang Realm!"

"The Ni family from Guangyun Realm!"

The cultivators present were utterly astonished. Most of them had never heard of Divine Lord Xuanji or the Ni family from Guangyun Realm. However, since True Monarch Wan Hai personally declared Divine Lord Xuanji to be the foremost diviner in the Profound Yang Realm, it must be true. Furthermore, the Ni family possessing a Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ship indicated their extraordinary power.

For the foremost diviner in the Profound Yang Realm to personally attend Wang Changsheng's Mahayana celebration was a tremendous honor. And for a Mahayana cultivator from the Ni family of Guangyun Realm to lead a cross-realm delegation to participate in the celebration added immense prestige.

For millions of years, when newly advanced Mahayana cultivators held celebrations in the Cyan Glaze Sea Region and Xuanling Continent, the Ye family would send Mahayana cultivators to attend. However, this was the first time a cross-realm Mahayana cultivator had attended such a celebration.

Rarity made it valuable, and this was true prestige.

"We heard that Fellow Daoist Wang was holding a Mahayana celebration, so we specifically came to ask for a drink."

Ni Wuting cupped his fists and said with a smile.

He wasn't aware that Cheng Yao's divination for Wang Changsheng had attracted a lightning tribulation. However, seeing Divine Lord Xuanji's friendly attitude towards Wang Changsheng, Ni Wuting also acted more courteously.

He didn't say they were just passing by; instead, he claimed they had specifically come to attend Wang Changsheng's Mahayana celebration, showing up uninvited, which gave Wang Changsheng immense face.

"Fellow Daoist Ni, Fellow Daoist Xu, you are too kind. Please, sit down and have a drink to refresh yourselves."

Wang Changsheng's tone was warm and welcoming.

Ni Wuting and Divine Lord Xuanji descended to the ground, followed by Ni Nishang and others. Ni Wuting then put away the Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ship.

Wang Qingcheng sent someone to arrange seating, placing Ni Wuting and Divine Lord Xuanji next to Ye Yuhan and his two companions.

Divine Lord Xuanji gave a signal, and Cheng Yao stood up, walked to Wang Changsheng, holding a green storage ring, and respectfully said: "My master congratulates Senior Wang on entering the Mahayana stage and presents a ten-thousand-year-old section of Sky Crystal Wood, two pieces of Sky Sea Divine Crystal, and a fifty-thousand-year-old Qianjin Grass."

After advancing to the Mahayana stage, the price for others seeking divination from Divine Lord Xuanji would also increase significantly.

Ni Nishang stepped forward, bowed gracefully, and respectfully said: "The Ni family presents whiskers from an eighth-tier Nine-Tailed Cat, two pieces of Sea Tide Jade, and a ten-thousand-year-old section of Blood Erosion Wood."

"Sky Sea Divine Crystal! Sea Tide Jade! Sky Crystal Wood! Blood Erosion Wood!"

Chen Yueying was somewhat surprised, an envious expression appearing on her face.

Sky Sea Divine Crystal and Sea Tide Jade were both eighth-tier refining materials, but in terms of value, they were far inferior to Sky Crystal Wood and Blood Erosion Wood.

Sky Crystal Wood was incredibly heavy and could be used for setting up formations. Xiao Wentian possessed a powerful set of seventh-tier formations, whose formation flags were crafted from Sky Crystal Wood.

Blood Erosion Wood automatically emitted a special poisonous mist, which was highly alluring to venomous insects and beasts. Blood Erosion Wood was comparable to a Lightning-Attracting Pearl; it would transform an area into a toxic land. Generally, venomous insects and beasts, as well as poisonous herbs and medicines, would grow near Blood Erosion Wood.

The older the Blood Erosion Wood, the more potent the poisonous mist it emitted, and the higher the grade of poisonous herbs and beasts found. Some rare poisonous herbs and medicines could only be found near high-aged Blood Erosion Wood, as they were difficult to cultivate in other environments.

A ten-thousand-year-old Blood Erosion Wood could even be used to refine a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Naturally, the older the Blood Erosion Wood, the more powerful the treasure refined from it would be.

Lan Fukong and the other cultivators looked on with envy. For Divine Lord Xuanji and Ni Wuting to present ten-thousand-year-old sections of Sky Crystal Wood and Blood Erosion Wood indicated a deep friendship with Wang Changsheng. Casual acquaintances would never offer such substantial gifts.

True Monarch Wan Hai's brows furrowed slightly. He had indeed underestimated Wang Changsheng.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Ni, you are truly thoughtful. Please, consider staying on Azure Lotus Island for a while longer, allowing our Wang family to fully extend its hospitality."

Wang Changsheng's tone was cordial.

Divine Lord Xuanji and Ni Wuting both accepted, not refusing the invitation.

Divine Lord Xuanji had originally intended to befriend Wang Changsheng. He had previously sent Shentu Xiao to investigate the Wang family, but before Shentu Xiao could complete his investigation, Wang Changsheng had advanced to the Mahayana stage and severely injured Yan Zheng.

Wang Changsheng had gone to the Northern Cold Ice Field with Ye Xuanji and advanced to the Mahayana stage several millennia later. Divine Lord Xuanji couldn't help but speculate, believing the Ye family was supporting the Wang family. Even if his previous analysis was wrong and Wang Changsheng had no true immortal relatives, offering some congratulatory gifts was still insignificant.

Divine Lord Xuanji did not understand artifact refining or alchemy, so keeping these items simply meant they would remain in his storage bracelet. He had many valuable possessions, so this gift was not a loss for him.

As for Ni Wuting, it went without saying. The Ni family was incredibly wealthy, capable of refining even Spirit-Crossing Treasure Ships, so these congratulatory gifts were negligible to them.

While the gifts from Ni Wuting and Divine Lord Xuanji were inconsequential to them, they were a grand present for the Wang family.

The six of them, including Wang Changsheng, chatted idly. Wang Qingfeng and other members of the Wang family enthusiastically entertained the guests, especially the Ni family cultivators.

Most of the cultivators present had never visited the Guangyun Realm and were full of curiosity. They inquired about the Guangyun Realm from the Ni family disciples. Ni Nishang and the others answered warmly, chatting and laughing, and they all got along very well.

Over two hours later, the banquet concluded, and most of the guests took their leave. Disciples from Zhenhai Palace, the Ni family, and the Ye family temporarily stayed on Azure Lotus Island, as did the five Mahayana cultivators, including Ni Wuting.
