Sword Master Tianhe is not on Xuanyin Continent. Xuan Qingzi has comprehended the Spirit Domain, and even at an introductory level, he can protect humanity and contend against multiple Mahayana-stage foreign races. He has been studying it for tens of thousands of years, yet it's only at an introductory level, still far from achieving minor mastery. Not only is the introductory level rare, many Mahayana cultivators don't even possess the cultivation method for the Spirit Domain.
According to Wang Changsheng, they have obtained the cultivation method for the Spirit Domain. Could it be from the Ye family? If so, why didn't they consult the Ye family's Mahayana cultivators? Or is there another reason?
"That's right," Wang Changsheng said earnestly. "We were fortunate enough to obtain the cultivation method for the Spirit Domain, but after many years of study, we've made no progress."
"I can give you some pointers," Xuan Qingzi said with a smile, "but it depends on what you offer." There was no way he would teach outsiders for free.
Chen Yueying also desired the cultivation method for the Spirit Domain, but she couldn't offer anything substantial, so Xuan Qingzi did not exchange it with her.
Wang Ruyan took out a piece of Dark Netherwood, a piece of Glazed Wood, and a piece of Sky Starwood, saying, "Besides guiding us in cultivating the Spirit Domain, we would also like the blueprints for the Xuanqing Vessel." The Wang family already possessed a method for crafting cross-realm treasure ships, and Wang Changsheng had gained considerable information by helping the Ye family repair the Ice Lion vessel. However, to be cautious, it was best to obtain the manufacturing blueprints for a cross-realm treasure ship, which would allow Wang Changsheng to further understand the vessel and facilitate its crafting.
"Just three pieces of spirit wood," Xuan Qingzi said meaningfully. "Madam Wang is quite the shrewd negotiator, but I, Lin, have also seen my share of the world."
Wang Changsheng took out a green jade box and handed it to Xuan Qingzi. Xuan Qingzi opened the jade box to find a Purple Jade Primordial Soul Fruit inside.
"This is not enough," Xuan Qingzi haggled. "This is a cross-realm treasure ship, not an ordinary item." Xuan Qingzi seized the opportunity to haggle, as it was a rare chance to make a significant profit from Wang Changsheng. How could he let it slip away?
"If Fellow Daoist Lin is unwilling, then so be it," Wang Changsheng said, putting his items away. "Consider it as if we never asked."
"Wait!" Xuan Qingzi quickly said, "Just give me another 100,000-year-old spiritual medicine; 80,000 years would also be acceptable."
"A 50,000-year-old Golden Rain Flower, and that's it," Wang Changsheng said gravely. "We've already exchanged quite a lot with Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Ye, Senior Sister Chen, and Fellow Daoist Lin."
Xuan Qingzi pondered for a moment and then said, "I cannot give you the blueprints. However, I can explain the techniques for crafting cross-realm treasure ships, and I guarantee every word will be true." Knowing the manufacturing blueprints for the Xuanqing Vessel would reveal its weaknesses, and such confidential information naturally cannot be divulged.
"Alright!" Wang Changsheng agreed. Knowing the techniques was also beneficial.
Xuan Qingzi put away the items on the table, took out a green jade slip, and handed it to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, saying, "These are some of my insights from comprehending the Spirit Domain. I hope they are helpful to you." As he recounted his experience in comprehending the Spirit Domain, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan asked questions periodically, and Xuan Qingzi answered each one.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, you've been studying the Spirit Domain for a long time, haven't you?" Xuan Qingzi asked with some confusion. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had a good understanding of the Spirit Domain and were not far from grasping its basics. If they had only been studying for a few thousand years, such significant progress would be impossible. Either their comprehension abilities were extremely high, or they had something to assist them.
"Immortal Ye Xuanji guided us for a period," Wang Changsheng explained, fabricating a reason. "However, we are slow-witted and haven't even grasped the basics." Ye Xuanji was the most renowned member of the Ye family, and since the outside world was unaware of her whereabouts, Wang Changsheng wasn't worried about being exposed.
"Immortal Ye! You know Immortal Ye?" Xuan Qingzi was surprised. If Immortal Ye Xuanji had indeed guided them, then it made sense.
"Yes, we do," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "Otherwise, she wouldn't have given us the Nine-Bend Exquisite Fruit."
Xuan Qingzi was half-convinced, half-skeptical. He suspected Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had consumed the Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit, but he didn't dare act recklessly. He had investigated the Wang family's situation and knew that Divine Monarch Xuanji and Ni Wuting had specially attended Wang Changsheng's Mahayana celebration. Based on that alone, he couldn't compare.
It was one thing for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to advance to the Mahayana stage, but they had also eliminated Yan Zheng and knew several other Mahayana cultivators. This in itself was unusual. They must possess something special, perhaps a powerful divine ability or a valuable treasure. If they had consumed the Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit, would they still possess any?
A powerful divine sense swept over Xuan Qingzi, startling him. He looked in a certain direction, a hint of dread flashing in his eyes. There was a fourth Mahayana cultivator on Qinglian Island, whose divine sense was no weaker than his. It seemed the Wang family had received assistance from a powerful individual, allowing them to rise so quickly. The divine sense had just warned Xuan Qingzi.
Xuan Qingzi's expression softened, and he said amiably, "So that's how it is." He dismissed his distracting thoughts and continued to explain his insights. The cultivation world still relied on strength, and that unknown powerful divine sense made Xuan Qingzi extremely wary, so he dared not act recklessly.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan listened very attentively. Eager to learn, they asked questions frequently. Their conversation lasted for a day and a night. Besides insights on comprehending the Spirit Domain, Xuan Qingzi also explained the techniques for crafting cross-realm treasure ships. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan benefited greatly.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, with your comprehension abilities, grasping the basics is only a matter of time; just dedicate more time," Xuan Qingzi said enthusiastically. "We are all humans, so let's interact more in the future." He suspected the Wang family was supported by a major clan or powerful force, and with a Mahayana cultivator stationed on Qinglian Island, he dared not act recklessly.
"Naturally," Wang Changsheng said. "By the way, Fellow Daoist Lin, when you exchanged Xuan-Heavenly items with the Ye family, did you not get the Puto Bloom Flame Talisman? And couldn't cultivate a new Mahayana cultivator?" Xuan Qingzi had been in the Mahayana stage for tens of thousands of years and was also an artifact master. It shouldn't be difficult for him to acquire the Nine-Bend Exquisite Fruit and the Puto Bloom Flame Talisman. So how did the Xuanqing Sect still only have one Mahayana cultivator?
"We did get it," Xuan Qingzi sighed, "However, they died during the heart demon tribulation because they failed to find a true outer-realm demon, thus wasting the Puto Bloom Flame Talisman." To find a true outer-realm demon, the Puto Bloom Flame Talisman could exert its maximum effect, but there was only one chance. The Xuanqing Sect wasn't luxurious enough to give disciples two Puto Bloom Flame Talismans; probably only elites from major clans had that privilege!
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"We heard Fellow Daoist Lin traveled to other realms," Wang Ruyan asked politely. "Could you tell us about the situation in those other realms?"
Xuan Qingzi nodded, indicating it was not a secret.
"The Heavenly Dome Realm, True Monarch Yu Qiong! A Golden Glazed Beast!" Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. In the Heavenly Spider Realm, Xuan Qingzi had encountered True Monarch Yu Qiong from the Heavenly Dome Realm. The two had sparred, and True Monarch Yu Qiong possessed a high-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure infused with the soul of an eighth-tier demonic beast, which could transform and attack, possessing considerable divine abilities.
According to Xuan Qingzi's description, the Golden Glazed Beast's appearance closely resembled that of a Qian Beast, making it highly probable they were the same type of demonic beast. If they could find True Monarch Yu Qiong, they might be able to uncover the whereabouts of the Qian Beast. Perhaps Qian Beasts existed in the Heavenly Dome Realm.
