Chapter 3480

Besides hundreds of spirit flames, there were also many refining materials, including a relatively precious eighth-tier seven-headed blood leech hide.

Due to its materials, the Blood Toad Gourd would be difficult to upgrade to a high-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure.

The seven-headed blood leech ranks seventh on the Myriad Worms List. Combined with Blood Erosion Wood, Wang Changsheng could refine a blood-attribute treasure.

Additionally, there were over a dozen Separation Crystals. The Seven-Star Separation Mirror of Zhenhai Palace requires Separation Crystals for each activation, thus providing another aid for clan members attempting to break through to the Integration Stage.

Chen Yueying had thoroughly searched the Blazing Fire Clan's treasury. She claimed not to have found the Heavenly Void Jade Tome, and indeed, it was not stored there. Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, the Blazing Fire Clan had placed some cultivation resources in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm. The Wang family was doing the same.

The Blazing Fire Secret Realm was a vital place for the Blazing Fire Clan, known only to Mahayana cultivators. Wang Changsheng killed Yan, obtained the key to the secret realm's entrance, and successfully found some eighth-tier materials and a sum of cultivation resources.

There were over 5,000 portions of Dharma Idol materials, one hundred seventh-tier demon beast hides, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones, and a batch of spirit herbs. These included Qianjin Blazing Crystals, Nine Origin Stones, and eighth-tier demon beast hides, among other items. The quantity wasn't huge, but it was enough for a small clan to grow and prosper.

The most precious items were five pages of the Heavenly Void Jade Tome. One page detailed several fire-attribute secret techniques, including the Grand Nine Blazes Spirit Separation Art.

The remaining four pages of the Heavenly Void Jade Tome described immortal realm refining materials, recipes for five types of immortal wine, immortal realm spirit herbs and fruits, and methods to become an Acquired Spirit Body.

Wang Changsheng carefully examined the immortal realm refining materials and recognized the silver-white crystal he had found in the Star River Palace. That crystal was called Profound Rhythm Crystal, a material for crafting musical immortal artifacts, typically used for items like jade flutes and jade pipes.

Wang Changsheng had never even heard of the materials for the immortal wine recipes, let alone the immortal realm spirit herbs and fruits. The methods for becoming an Acquired Spirit Body piqued his interest. There were many ways, such as taking special immortal pills or herbs, refining the core of a certain immortal beast or a certain immortal wood. Additionally, one could refine some rare materials like Qianjin Divine Crystal, Orb of Blazing Fire, or Renshui Stone, but these methods carried high risks; failure would result in bodily explosion.

True Monarch Qianjin was able to refine a Qianjin Divine Crystal to become an Acquired Spirit Body, thus embarking on the immortal path. His success did not mean others could succeed as well.

According to the Heavenly Void Jade Tome, when refining rare materials to transform into an Acquired Spirit Body, profound magical power and a strong physical body could increase the success rate. If a cultivator were to refine rare materials, it would be best to refine those with attributes consistent with their cultivation technique.

Yan cultivated fire-attribute techniques and had always sought the Orb of Blazing Fire to transform into an Acquired Spirit Body. For the same amount of cultivation resources, a spirit body cultivator has a higher utilization rate and can even master unique divine abilities—this is the allure of a spirit body.

Gongsun Yang's Hundred Beast Body, Wang Yulan's Nirvana Body, Chen Yueying's Qiankun Earth Body, Su Hongshang's Qianyang Spirit Body, Song Yunlong's Pure Yang Body, and Wang Yidao's Seven-Star Saber Body all possessed unique divine abilities. Wang Yidao's innate divine ability lay in his comprehension, making it easier for him to grasp saber techniques and secret arts.

That page of the Heavenly Void Jade Tome also mentioned Immortal Bodies, which are more powerful physiques than Spirit Bodies and are considered treasures even in the Immortal Realm.

The Blazing Fire Clan's arrangements reminded Wang Changsheng that the Wang family should also establish a Green Lotus Secret Realm to store a portion of their rare materials there. This way, even if the family faced a major disaster, future generations could rely on these resources to accelerate their cultivation.

Wang Changsheng obtained two pages of the Heavenly Void Jade Tome from the Immortal Realm Fragment. One page recorded methods for nurturing Profound Heaven Treasures, while the other detailed the arrangement methods for three sword formations that only Mahayana cultivators could deploy. If Wang Qingshan advanced to the Mahayana stage, he could make use of these three sword formations.

Wang Qingcheng returned and said, "Father, Martial Aunt Chen has sent someone. She invites you to the main altar for a talk. Sword Venerable Tianhe and Senior Ye are both there."

"Understood, I'll go now."

Wang Changsheng guessed Chen Yueying's intention was likely to exchange resources, which was normal. They had all emerged alive and obtained many materials, which they could trade with others to fill their needs. Besides, Wang Changsheng also wanted to hear about the experiences of others.

With Wang Ruyan overseeing Green Lotus Island, Wang Changsheng had no concerns, especially since he also had Wang Xiuluo and Wang Naluo, two high-level enforcers.

Wang Changsheng did not intend for them to appear publicly, at least not for now. They were to serve as hidden guards, capable of playing a crucial role at critical moments.

With the current strength of the Wang family, Wang Changsheng did not fear the Mahayana cultivators of the Yaksha, Golden Scale, or Silver Shark races. What he truly feared were the Three Great Clans. He wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, but of them constantly plotting. With the Immortal Realm Fragment appearing on the Profound Spirit Continent, it was hard to say what the Three Great Clans would think. He needed to ask Ye Yuhuan about this matter.

Wang Changsheng left Green Lotus Island and arrived at the Yuxi Mountain Range, where he smoothly met Chen Yueying.

Ye Yuhuan's complexion was slightly pale. To fully recover, she would need to recuperate for at least several millennia, and that was with the aid of healing elixirs. For an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, such injuries would likely be fatal. However, to escape from a True Spirit was something Ye Yuhuan could certainly be proud of, especially since she was only in the early Mahayana stage.

Sword Venerable Tianhe, Chen Yueying, and Ye Yuhuan were seated in a blue stone pavilion, enjoying tea and conversing.

"Martial Brother Wang is here. Please, have a seat and try some of the tea I brought from the dojo. It's freshly processed and has soul-nourishing effects."

Chen Yueying motioned for Wang Changsheng to sit and poured him a fragrant cup of spirit tea. The tea was black.

Wang Changsheng took a sip. It tasted slightly bitter at first, then became somewhat sweet.

"Excellent, good tea," Wang Changsheng said politely. This spirit tea could indeed nourish the soul, but the increase was too minimal. Drinking fifty catties wouldn't compare to a single Purple Jade Soul Fruit, which was one of the Ten Great Marvelous Fruits—surely not a wasted reputation.

Sword Venerable Tianhe took out a green storage ring, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, a small token of my appreciation. Thank you very much."

Without the notification from a Wang family disciple, he would likely have missed out. On their way back, they encountered many human cultivators who had received the news too late and missed the opportunity.

Sword Venerable Tianhe presented Wang Changsheng with five 20,000-year-old spirit herbs and the corpse of an eighth-tier demon beast as a gesture of gratitude and goodwill. Wang Changsheng was an artifact refiner, and Wang Ruyan was a talismansmith; perhaps one day they would need the Wang family's assistance.

Wang Changsheng accepted them without ceremony.

"Madam Ye, was the dojo's presence this time exceptionally long?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously. To his knowledge, a dojo always closed within five years of opening. It had already been more than five years since they discovered the dojo until they emerged.

"There were many True Spirits in the dojo. Perhaps they damaged the restrictions or broke something, causing issues with the dojo!" Ye Yuhuan speculated. She wasn't certain; the dojo was too mysterious, even containing True Spirits. Without the Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship, she would have already perished.
