Chapter 3691: 3371 Wang Manlou

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang." Gongsun Yang expressed his gratitude, surprised by how much Wang Changsheng had given him. It was a delightful surprise.

"Please don't mention it, Fellow Daoist Gongsun, it's just a few materials," Wang Changsheng said nonchalantly. Their Aperture Opening techniques were different, so the Aperture Opening materials Gongsun Yang needed were merely refining materials in his eyes.

"Regardless, I still owe you many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wang," Gongsun Yang said earnestly. Without Wang Changsheng, he might have died of old age in the lower realms, let alone reaching his current level.

With the Profound Sky Treasure and the Aperture Opening materials, his strength would significantly improve.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Gongsun Yang and Sun Tianhu bid farewell and left.

"Now we have five True Spirit corpses. We can refine them into eighth-tier puppet beasts to serve as our clan's heirloom treasures," Wang Ruyan said excitedly.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Jiye, and Wang Zongyao were all eighth-tier artificers, so refining True Spirit corpses into eighth-tier puppet beasts was not an issue; Wang Qingfeng had done it before.

Wang Changsheng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he took out a shimmering blue communication disk and cast a spell. Wang Yongqian's voice chimed: "Ancestor, Wang Manlou, the Tower Master of the Seven-Month Tower, is here to visit."

"The Tower Master of the Seven-Month Tower?" A curious expression appeared on Wang Changsheng's face.

The Seven-Month Tower's influence spanned multiple realms, with branches established in many. Its main headquarters were in the Jade Abundance Realm, and it was renowned far and wide.

A Vice-Tower Master from the Seven-Month Tower had attended the Dao Discussion Assembly, but Wang Manlou himself had not appeared.

"Wang Chan has already scouted, right? If there are no issues, let him in and invite him to Green Lotus Peak," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yongqian replied.

"It's strange that the Tower Master of the Seven-Month Tower would visit in person." Wang Ruyan's face was full of curiosity. They didn't know Wang Manlou and were unsure of his intentions.

"He's probably here to inquire about information regarding the Immortal Realm Fragment! After all, that's what the Seven-Month Tower specializes in. What a coincidence he came just after we left the Immortal Realm Fragment," Wang Changsheng analyzed.

Soon after, a clear, resonant bird cry echoed from the horizon. A gigantic azure bird with a seven-colored crest on its head appeared high in the sky. A tall young man in a green robe stood on its back.

The green-robed youth had handsome features, thin lips, and a straight nose. He wore white jade boots, a profound yellow and white jade belt around his waist, and a delicate white jade pendant hung from it, exuding an air of nobility.

This was Wang Manlou, Tower Master of the Seven-Month Tower, a late-stage Mahayana cultivator.

The Seven-Month Tower had one Tower Master and more than a dozen Vice-Tower Masters. Wang Manlou's ability to become the Tower Master naturally indicated his strength.

The azure giant bird was somewhat agitated and trembled slightly.

Wang Manlou was a little surprised. This seven-colored azure-winged bird was a descendant of the Azure Bend, and its flight speed was exceptional. This was the first time such a situation had occurred. Was there something terrifying on Green Lotus Peak?

"We've long heard of your great name, Fellow Daoist Wang. We're finally meeting you in person," Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Manlou cast a spell, and the seven-colored azure-winged bird descended from the sky, landing before Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Manlou dismounted and put away the bird.

"I am Wang Manlou. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang, and Madame Wang," Wang Manlou said courteously. He had been in seclusion cultivating and had only recently broken through to the late Mahayana stage. Hearing that Wang Changsheng possessed a Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit, he specifically came to visit, hoping to acquire one.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please have a seat!" Wang Changsheng invited Wang Manlou to sit down and offered him lake tea.

After finishing his tea, Wang Manlou stated his purpose: "Fellow Daoist Wang, to be frank, I am here for the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit. I heard you acquired a Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit tree from the clan."

"That is true, but the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit is not yet ripe. It requires more than ten bottles of Creation Jade Dew to ripen, and I only have one," Wang Changsheng said, looking troubled.

"Here are five bottles of Creation Jade Dew. Can I exchange them for one Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit?" Wang Manlou flicked his sleeve, and five golden porcelain bottles appeared in his hand.

"Five bottles of Creation Jade Dew?" Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were slightly taken aback.

Wang Manlou possessed impressive capability to acquire five bottles of Creation Jade Dew.

"I exchanged them with other fellow Daoists. A single bottle of Creation Jade Dew isn't very useful," Wang Manlou explained.

Even so, Wang Manlou's ability to trade for five bottles of Creation Jade Dew was indeed extraordinary.

"Including the Creation Jade Dew we've collected, it should be enough to ripen the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit. How about you give us the Creation Jade Dew first, and I'll use it to ripen the fruit?" Wang Changsheng proposed.

"No problem!" Wang Manlou readily agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, aren't you worried that we might not be able to ripen the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously. Did Wang Manlou trust them that much?

"There's no need for Fellow Daoist Wang to deceive me; I trust you," Wang Manlou said with confidence. The Seven-Month Tower had good relations with several major clans, so he presumed Wang Changsheng wouldn't dare to cheat him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please stay on Green Lotus Island for now. I will ripen the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit and give you one immediately," Wang Changsheng said.

"Then I shall impose on you, Fellow Daoist Wang," Wang Manlou agreed. He then remembered something and continued, "By the way, I heard that a fragment of the Immortal Realm has appeared. I presume you two fellow Daoists entered it to seek treasures. Do you have any information you'd be willing to sell to our Seven-Month Tower? We offer high prices for such acquisitions."

"Inside the Immortal Realm Fragment, multiple True Spirits are working together to eliminate treasure hunters, which is quite troublesome," Wang Changsheng stated.

"Multiple True Spirits working together? Could you elaborate? The compensation won't let Fellow Daoist Wang suffer any loss, and ideally, there would be visual evidence," Wang Manlou pressed, knowing that selling this information to a super clan could yield a significant profit.

Wang Changsheng took out a green jade slip and handed it to Wang Manlou. It listed the materials needed to open the third aperture and refine Profound Sky Treasures.

Wang Manlou's divine sense swept over it. After a moment of thought, he said, "Most of these materials can be acquired, but I haven't heard of some of them."

"That's fine. I can tell you the details of what happened," Wang Changsheng said with a slight smile, proceeding to recount their encounter with the group of True Spirits.

On the Thousand Spirits Continent, the Nine Yuan Mountain Range was in ruins, with numerous corpses visible.

A girl in a red dress stood atop a high peak, surrounded by six brawny men in golden robes.

The five Mahayana cultivators, including Luo Feng, who were stationed in the Nine Yuan Mountain Range, had all been killed by them.

With Die Wei present, the Nine Yuan Merchant Alliance's grand formation was rendered ineffective, as formations that countered spatial abilities were quite rare.

"The Cao Family, the Sky-Cry Clan, the Changyuan Palace, the Blood Fiend Clan, the Nangong Family!" the girl in the red dress muttered to herself, her face filled with murderous intent.

Bi Yan, a late-stage Mahayana cultivator whose true form was a Bi Fang, was the leader of this group of True Spirits.

They had soul-searched Luo Feng's nascent soul and learned about some super clans. Ordinary large clans did not possess defensive Profound Sky Relics or Profound Sky Treasures.

"Sister Bi, what's our next step?" the brawny man in golden robes asked.

This was Wu Feng, a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator whose true form was a Three-legged Golden Crow.

"There are no major powers left in the Profound Sun Realm. Ye Xuanji possesses a defensive Profound Sky Treasure. First, we'll go to the Northern Icy Plains, eliminate Ye Xuanji, seize that defensive Profound Sky Treasure, and then move on to other realms to deal with other major clans," Bi Yan instructed.

Wu Feng responded, then summoned the Nine Yuan. Bi Yan stepped onto it, followed by the others.
