Chapter 3723: Bright Moon Immortal Fruit

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you truly speak your mind," Qin said. "I would like to ask for your help in forging an immortal artifact. Here are the crafting materials."

Venerable Golden Silkworm took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's spiritual sense swept over it. He frowned and said, "There's only one set of materials; success is not guaranteed."

"According to common practice, if the forging fails, it's on me. Aren't you, Fellow Daoist Wang, looking for a Moonfrost Immortal Fruit? I happen to have one."

Venerable Golden Silkworm took out an exquisite silver jade box. As he opened the lid, a soft silver light swept out. Inside the box was a silvery-white fruit, emitting a faint spiritual glow.

"A Moonfrost Immortal Fruit."

Wang Changsheng's expression remained calm, but he felt a surge of secret delight. Opening the fourth aperture requires taking the Moonfrost Pill. The Moonfrost Pill is a first-grade immortal pill, refined primarily from the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit. The Moonfrost Immortal Fruit has a long growth cycle of 300,000 years, making it difficult to cultivate. Wang Changsheng had instructed his family members to look for information about the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit, but there had been no news. He had thought this material would be impossible to find, so he was surprised when Venerable Golden Silkworm produced it.

"Fellow Daoist Qin," Wang Changsheng asked, "would you mind telling me where you obtained this Moonfrost Immortal Fruit?"

"I exchanged it with Fellow Daoist Zhen from the Moonfrost Alliance," Venerable Golden Silkworm replied. "Fellow Daoist Zhen said that the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit is the main ingredient for brewing the first-grade immortal wine, Moonfrost Jade Nectar. As for where he got the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit, I'm not sure."

Wang Changsheng frowned. "The Moonfrost Alliance! Moonfrost Jade Nectar!" The Moonfrost Alliance and the Nine Immortals Sect were rival factions, frequently clashing. He had inquired about the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit from Jin Tianlong, but Jin Tianlong also knew nothing about it. It seemed he would need to inquire with a True Immortal from the Moonfrost Alliance to learn the origin of the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit. He wondered if the Moonfrost Alliance even possessed a Moonfrost Immortal Fruit tree.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you trying to dismiss me with just one Moonfrost Immortal Fruit?" Wang Changsheng said with a frown. "To purchase a low-grade immortal artifact would cost at least a hundred immortal essence stones. While I may not compare to those well-known immortal artifact masters of many years, I'm not this cheap!" He was familiar with the prices of forging materials. The materials in the storage bracelet were worth no more than forty immortal essence stones, whereas a low-grade immortal artifact typically cost at least a hundred.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please don't misunderstand," Venerable Golden Silkworm explained. "This is just a deposit. Once the forging is complete, I will express my deep gratitude."

"Fellow Daoist Qin," Wang Changsheng asked, "who referred you to me? Why aren't you seeking help from other immortal artifact masters?" Wang Changsheng asked, as his fees were relatively lower than those of other immortal artifact masters, not enough to provoke their jealousy.

"It was Fellow Daoist Chen Wuji who introduced me," Venerable Golden Silkworm explained. "Fellow Daoist Chen spoke highly of you, and both immortal artifacts he possesses were forged by you; their quality is excellent." Venerable Golden Silkworm's explanation was truthful, though he also wished to save money, as other immortal artifact masters' prices were relatively higher. Since Wang Changsheng's prices were relatively low and his forging skill was good, offering both quality and affordability, it was natural to seek his help.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen recommended you, I'll help you out!" Wang Changsheng said. "Please keep an eye out for news regarding the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit for me. If you could procure a pot of Moonfrost Jade Nectar, that would be ideal."

"No problem," Venerable Golden Silkworm agreed. "I will help Fellow Daoist Wang keep an eye out for information about the Moonfrost Immortal Fruit. Once the immortal artifact is forged, you can have someone inform either my disciple or myself."

After chatting for a while, Venerable Golden Silkworm bid farewell and departed.

"Father, your reputation is growing increasingly," Wang Qingfeng said with a proud smile. "Now, when I attend gatherings of Mahayana cultivators, many often ask me about you." Thanks to Wang Changsheng's renown, Wang Qingfeng had befriended many Mahayana cultivators and exchanged for numerous cultivation resources. The cultivation resources in the Immortal Realm were incredibly abundant. Besides common resources, even True Spirit Cores, True Spirit Essence Blood, and True Spirit Souls were available for exchange. In fact, it wasn't difficult to purchase a Mahayana-stage True Spirit if one could afford the price.

True Spirits were not uncommon in the Immortal Realm. Some cultivating families in the Skyfall Sea Region had inherited True Spirit bloodlines; they had both humanoid and beast-form True Spirits. However, True Immortal cultivators didn't highly regard True Spirit bloodlines. True Immortals relied little on Dharma Idols in combat; they mostly competed with laws and immortal artifacts, followed by external items like immortal talismans, immortal beasts, and immortal arrays. Some True Immortals used True Spirits as mounts, while wealthy True Immortals used flying immortal artifacts for transportation. Profound Sky Treasures were commonly used weapons for Mahayana cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Flying and defensive Profound Sky Treasures were not uncommon and could be purchased with extra high-grade spirit stones. Things that Mahayana cultivators in the lower realms eagerly sought were relatively common in the Immortal Realm.

"Cultivate well," Wang Changsheng encouraged, gently patting Wang Qingfeng's shoulder. "Once you advance to the True Immortal stage, I'll teach you how to forge immortal artifacts."

Just as Wang Qingfeng was about to reply, Wang Changsheng took out a small mirror shimmering with green light. This was a Spirit Communication Mirror, an immortal communication artifact. Communication was very convenient in the Immortal Realm; besides communication artifacts, there were also communication immortal arrays, communication immortal talismans, and so on. Wang Changsheng cast a spell. The mirror's surface erupted with countless profound runes, which swirled and transformed into the illusory figure of a charming young woman in a purple dress.

"Madam Zhao, have the items I requested arrived?" Wang Changsheng asked with a smile.

The young woman in the purple dress was Zhao Qian, the manager of the Nine Immortals Pavilion, a True Immortal of the mid-stage. "They've arrived, Fellow Daoist Wang," Zhao Qian said. "I'll have someone send them over to you."

"Excellent, then I'll trouble Manager Zhao." Wang Changsheng agreed.

"It's no trouble at all. It's settled then." With these words, Zhao Qian's illusory figure dissipated.

Wang Ruyan walked out from the pavilion, her face beaming with joy.

"The immortal array has arrived, that's wonderful!" Wang Qingfeng said excitedly.

"After a while, I'll find a suitable island for Madam and Qingshan to safely undergo their Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation," Wang Changsheng said, his voice solemn. All the family members he brought to the Immortal Realm had taken Soul Cleansing Pills. Those with mastered skills could earn high-grade spirit stones, buying materials for Liu Hongxue and Wang Ruiyan to refine more Soul Cleansing Pills. Having tens of thousands of family members staying in the market city was not sustainable. They still needed to find a suitable island. Wang Changsheng had been inquiring about such places, but currently, there were no suitable targets.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a green paper crane, about ten feet in size, flew in. Its surface was covered with profound runes. This was a communication talisman soldier, more advanced than a sound transmission talisman. It could be used repeatedly and could be sent to a specific target. Cultivators could dispatch a communication talisman soldier from a great distance, and it would reach its destination.

Wang Qingfeng cast a spell, and the green paper crane spoke in a human voice: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I am Jiang Tianming from the Nine Immortals Pavilion. I've been entrusted by Senior Sister Zhao to deliver the immortal array you ordered."

"Jiang Tianming, a member of the Jiang family." Wang Qingfeng was somewhat surprised. The Jiang family held considerable influence within the Nine Immortals Sect, with no less than twenty True Immortal stage members spread across various halls of the sect.

"Since it's a Jiang family member delivering it, I'll go out myself!" Wang Changsheng said. "We'll frequently interact with the Nine Immortals Sect in the future, so we mustn't offend a Jiang family member." Wang Changsheng rose and walked out, followed by Wang Ruyan and Wang Qingfeng.

A youth in a red robe stood at the entrance of Taihao Garden. He wore a purple-gold crown, had phoenix eyes that shone like stars, broad shoulders, and a sturdy build, exuding an incredibly valiant aura. The gates of Taihao Garden opened, and Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qingfeng entered.

"I am Wang Changsheng, it's a pleasure to meet Fellow Daoist Jiang. There's no need to trouble you with such a small matter; Manager Zhao could have simply sent someone to deliver the items!" Wang Changsheng clasped his hands and said politely.

Jiang Tianming was quite pleased with Wang Changsheng's attitude. He explained, "I was passing by this area, so I brought the items to Fellow Daoist Wang on my way." He followed Wang Changsheng into Taihao Garden and sat down in the stone pavilion.
