Chapter 3722: Golden Silkworm Master (Not Available Today)

Some immortal artifact materials are quite rare, such as time, space, and soul materials. If the refinement fails, these materials are ruined, and one must re-collect them for another attempt. This is one reason why immortal artifacts related to time, space, and soul are so precious.

With the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, semi-finished or failed artifacts can be restored to their raw materials, allowing for re-refinement. No other refining furnace possesses this incredible function.

To be considered an immortal artifact refiner, one needs to successfully create one immortal artifact from three sets of materials. Wang Changsheng, however, boasts a 100% success rate, far outperforming other refiners.

Refining artifacts with the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron is significantly faster. Wang Changsheng has conversed with several other immortal artifact refiners and found that it takes them multiple times longer to forge a low-grade immortal artifact than it takes him.

To reduce refining time, one either needs a higher-grade refining furnace or an immortal flame.

Wang Changsheng knows several immortal artifact refiners, none of whom possess an immortal flame. Immortal flames are incredibly rare, possessing the power of a True Immortal, and are almost impossible to acquire.

The Glazed Ice Flame is merely an eighth-tier spiritual flame, just one step away from an immortal flame. Removing impurities from materials with it consumes a significant amount of time, which is the primary reason why other immortal artifact refiners take so long to forge artifacts.

With the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, Wang Changsheng achieves high refining efficiency even without an immortal flame. If he possessed an immortal flame, his efficiency would be even greater.

Furthermore, when using the same refining materials to create the same type of low-grade immortal artifact, those forged with the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron are more powerful.

It is precisely for these reasons that Wang Changsheng quickly established himself in Ziwei Market and gained a respectable reputation, with numerous rogue cultivators at the True Immortal stage requesting his assistance in forging immortal artifacts.

Without the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, Wang Changsheng would not know when he might be able to forge an immortal artifact, and his refining efficiency and success rate would certainly not be as high.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay much longer. Fellow Daoist Wang, please remember to attend tonight's gathering on time; many True Immortals will be there, including several immortal artifact refiners."

After speaking, Jin Tianlong stood up and departed.

"Qingfeng, please see Fellow Daoist Jin out." Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Qingfeng acknowledged the request and personally escorted Jin Tianlong away.

"This Fellow Daoist Jin often interacts with my husband," Wang Ruyan remarked, walking out of a nearby azure pavilion with a smile. "It seems he wishes to befriend him."

Cultivation resources are abundant in the Immortal Realm. Wang Changsheng purchased various spiritual elixirs and miraculous medicines to enhance the cultivation of Wang Ruyan and others, speeding up their progress. Wang Ruyan has successfully advanced to the late Mahayana stage; she only needs to pass the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to become a True Immortal.

"We don't have many acquaintances within the Nine Immortal Sect," Wang Changsheng explained. "Befriending him might prove helpful when we need to interact with the sect in the future."

"Husband, have you acquired the immortal formation yet?" Wang Ruyan asked.

Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Liu Hongxue, Bai Yuqi, and Wang Qingjing have all advanced to the late Mahayana stage. If they had remained in the lower realm, it would have taken them tens of thousands of years to reach this level.

Spirit fruits that enhance magical power, such as the Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit and Golden Chess Fruit, are abundant in the Immortal Realm. They have excellent effects on cultivators below the True Immortal stage but are of little value to Immortals, and can be purchased with a few more high-grade spirit stones.

Naturally, they cannot undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation in Ziwei Market, as the Nine Immortal Sect does not permit it. They need to find a safe location to pass the tribulation and become True Immortals.

While a location is easy to find, for caution, they need to acquire a powerful immortal formation to prevent external interference.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "I've already arranged with Manager Zhao of the Nine Immortal Pavilion; he'll notify me as soon as it arrives. It hasn't come yet."

He had ordered a powerful first-tier immortal formation from the Nine Immortal Pavilion manager for five hundred immortal essence stones. It was crafted by True Monarch Yu Xi of the Nine Immortal Sect.

True Monarch Yu Xi is a True Immortal cultivator, a key disciple nurtured by the Nine Immortal Sect, and highly skilled in formations.

In addition to the immortal formation, Wang Changsheng also purchased some first-tier immortal talismans and elixirs, as safety is not guaranteed once they leave Ziwei Market.

The Tianchen Sea Region is rich in cultivation resources, but it is also rife with instances of cultivators being killed for their treasures. Furthermore, True Immortal stage demonic beasts roam the area, and even True Immortal cultivators can perish there.

Wang Changsheng was well-prepared; all that remained was for the immortal formation to arrive. Once it did, they could leave Ziwei Market and find a suitable location for their clan members to undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

"That's good," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "Once we advance to the True Immortal stage, we can provide more assistance, and you won't have to work so hard."

Wang Changsheng alone could not sustain an entire clan; a clan belongs to all its members.

After a while, Wang Qingfeng returned.

"Father, Master Golden Silkworm wishes to request your assistance in forging an immortal artifact. Would it be convenient for you to meet him? He would like to speak with you in person." Wang Qingfeng said.

Master Golden Silkworm is a rogue cultivator at the True Immortal stage who frequently teams up with others to hunt demonic beasts. His disciples often purchase cultivation resources from the Wang family, and through these interactions, they have become acquainted.

"Master Golden Silkworm? Invite him over! It's no problem for him to ask me to forge an immortal artifact, but it depends on what compensation he offers." Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Qingfeng affirmed, took out a red, shimmering magic plate, cast a spell, and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, my father happens to be free. If Senior Xu is available, please come to Taihao Garden!"

"Convenient. I'll inform my master immediately," an excited male voice came from the red magic plate.

Wang Qingfeng put away the magic plate and said, "When I become a True Immortal, I will definitely forge an immortal artifact."

"Father believes you can certainly do it. Our clan has too few True Immortal cultivators, and Qingling is still waiting for us to resurrect her!" Wang Changsheng's face showed a look of longing. He possessed a method to resurrect Wang Qingling, but it required the combined efforts of multiple True Immortals; he could not accomplish it alone.

Wang Changsheng had inquired with other True Immortal cultivators about the matter of resurrection. Wang Qingling met the conditions for revival. Even an Immortal who has been killed can be resurrected, though the difficulty is extremely high. Furthermore, any Immortal can only be resurrected once; if killed again, their existence is permanently extinguished.

Wang Ruyan nodded. "Indeed! Qingjing has been mentioning this repeatedly. If Qingling can be resurrected soon, it would finally put his mind at ease after all these years."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Qingfeng took out a red magic plate, cast a spell, and a male voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Wang, my master and I have arrived."

"Alright, I'll be right out."

Wang Qingfeng put away the red magic plate and walked out.

Wang Ruyan took out tea leaves and a tea set and began brewing tea, its fragrance filling the air.

Not long after, Wang Qingfeng returned, followed by a stout, golden-robed elder and a slender, blue-shirted youth.

The golden-robed elder had a round face and small eyes, and his aura was even stronger than Wang Changsheng's. He was Master Golden Silkworm, a True Immortal at the mid-stage.

"I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Wang's esteemed reputation, and today I finally have the pleasure of meeting you." Master Golden Silkworm clasped his hands respectfully and spoke courteously.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you flatter me," Wang Changsheng said with a smile. "I am not worthy of such a reputation. Please, speak freely, whatever you wish to discuss."
