Chapter 3771: Cooperation(Ended Today)

"The Azure Dragon Pellet? Aside from requiring the blood essence of a True Immortal-stage Flood Dragon, its primary ingredient, the Azure Dragon Herb, is extremely difficult to cultivate. That's one reason why we don't readily sell this pellet." Huo Yushuang's expression showed her reluctance.

"I understand the Azure Dragon Pellet is quite valuable, Mrs. Huo. Please be accommodating. We'll be seeing a lot of each other, and perhaps in the future, we can join forces against the Heavenly Ghost Sect," Wang Changsheng said.

He knew Huo Yushuang was just being polite. No matter how precious the Azure Dragon Pellet was, it was still merely a first-tier immortal pellet, meaning it *could* be sold; the question was whether the Huo family *wanted* to. It was no secret that the Huo family harbored a private grudge against the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"Yes, Mrs. Huo, I'm confident we'll have opportunities to cooperate in the future," Wang Ruyan echoed.

Huo Yushuang pondered for a moment before saying, "You must have acquired a considerable amount of cultivation resources during your invasion of Heavenly Beast Island. If you can provide five of the items listed here, I'll exchange them for the Azure Dragon Pellet." She then took out a white jade slip and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's divine sense swept over it, and he frowned. The slip listed numerous materials, including immortal herbs, immortal fruits, artifact refining components, and demon cores, among others.

"Five? That's too many! The Xia family took the lion's share, and we didn't acquire much. Four at most," Wang Changsheng countered, haggling.

"Four it is, then," Huo Yushuang agreed.

Wang Changsheng produced four materials: an immortal fruit, an immortal herb, and two artifact refining components. He suspected these were either "enlightenment" materials or ingredients for a specific type of immortal pellet; otherwise, Huo Yushuang wouldn't be willing to exchange the Azure Dragon Pellet for them.

Huo Yushuang nodded, then took out a cyan porcelain bottle and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng removed the stopper, poured out ten pale golden pills, and, after confirming they were Azure Dragon Pellets, nodded with satisfaction.

His physical body was already quite robust; consuming the Azure Dragon Pellet would further enhance it. Unfortunately, he only had one bottle.

The Heavenly Beast Sect had collected numerous first-tier immortal pellet formulas, but none specifically for body tempering. Most of their immortal pellets were used for cultivating spirit insects and beasts.

Building up foundational strength is no easy feat; simply acquiring the Heavenly Beast Sect's library classics does not complete one's full heritage.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, your Wang family has developed remarkably fast! After just over 30,000 years since its establishment, you've already allied with the Xia family to attack the Heavenly Beast Sect, even slaying more than twenty True Immortal cultivators in a single battle," Huo Yushuang said with a smile, as this news had long since spread widely.

"We didn't contribute much; it was all thanks to Mrs. Xia. Perhaps she will advance to the Golden Immortal stage in the future," Wang Changsheng said modestly. He used Xia Sibing as a shield, knowing that the Wang family was still relatively weak, and attracting too much attention from other powers prematurely was not advisable.

Xia Sibing was already at the late True Immortal stage, so her advancement to the Golden Immortal stage was indeed a real possibility. Wang Changsheng's statement was not an exaggeration.

"Golden Immortal! I hope she can truly reach that stage!" Huo Yushuang sighed softly, a reminiscent expression on her face.

The Huo family's heyday had been truly magnificent. Now, in decline, they had to constantly defer to the major powers.

Remembering something, Huo Yushuang added, "Oh, by the way, Fellow Daoist Wang, there's a gathering in seven days. Fellow Daoist Shen from Hundred Refinements Island will also be attending. If you're free, you really shouldn't miss it."

"Fellow Daoist Shen? Do you mean Fellow Daoist Shen Liming?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

"Precisely. Fellow Daoist Shen is a prime talent of Hundred Refinements Island, a disciple of True Monarch Jin Xuan, and highly skilled in artifact refining. It's said he can even refine immortal puppets," Huo Yushuang concluded, her face showing clear envy.

"I've heard he possesses a spiritual physique, and his artifact refining skills are exceptionally advanced," Wang Changsheng stated.

"I heard he possesses the Heavenly Craft Body, truly a born artifact refiner," Huo Yushuang remarked with an envious tone.

Spiritual physiques are considered excellent aptitudes in the Immortal Realm. All nine major powers in the Sky Dawn Sea Region have individuals with spiritual physiques; it's simply a matter of differing numbers, a probabilistic occurrence.

Some major powers possess over twenty individuals with spiritual physiques, while others have only a handful.

Above spiritual physiques are immortal physiques, though these are exceedingly rare. It is said that Tian Chenzi possessed an immortal physique, and he was the sole individual with such a body in the Sky Dawn Sea Region for tens of millions of years.

Immortal physique holders are also categorized into innate and acquired. Innate immortal physiques are quite rare, while acquired immortal physiques are relatively more common. However, transforming into an acquired immortal physique is extremely difficult; possessing power without the necessary serendipitous opportunity is futile.

"The Heavenly Craft Body! That's a spiritual physique as renowned as the Divine Farmer Body. I've heard of it for a long time. This is an excellent opportunity to meet Fellow Daoist Shen," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

The Heavenly Craft Body marks a born artifact refiner, while the Divine Farmer Body signifies a born alchemist. Both are highly advantageous spiritual physiques.

After chatting for over an hour, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan took their leave.

Leaving the Five Dragon Pavilion, they began to stroll along the street.

"Are you perhaps True Person Taihao and Immortal Fairy Tianqin?" a polite male voice reached their ears.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan paused, looking towards the source of the voice. They saw a tall, silver-robed elder approaching them—it was Xun Long from the Heavenly Moon Clan.

While they were aware of each other's existence, they had never actually met before.

"Fellow Daoist Xun, I've heard much about you for a long time," Wang Changsheng said politely, cupping his hands.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you flatter me. It is I who have heard much about *your* name for a long time. Would it be convenient for us to go somewhere more private to discuss further?" Xun Long asked, his face full of admiration.

In the lower realm, he had heard that Wang Changsheng killed Tong Shan. After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he learned that Wang Changsheng had slain a mid-True Immortal stage cultivator.

Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.

They found a teahouse, secured a private room, and engaged in conversation over tea.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, can you contact your clan members in the lower realm?" Xun Long inquired, his face filled with anticipation.

Wang Changsheng considered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I can, but I'm unable to descend to the lower realm myself."

"Of course. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help our Heavenly Moon Clan recover its strength as quickly as possible. The Wang family in the lower realm and the Heavenly Moon Clan could form an alliance. In return, I will offer you all the assistance within my power," Xun Long said sincerely. He had ascended from the lower realm, and his descendants remained there, thus he felt a deep connection to his clan members below.

The Wang family in the Xuan Yang Realm was the largest power there, whereas the Wang family in the North Sea Immortal Domain was merely a small clan.

He was confident Wang Changsheng wouldn't refuse, as this arrangement would be entirely beneficial to Wang Changsheng.

"Regarding 'all the assistance within your power,' please clarify, Fellow Daoist Xun. Words alone are insufficient; we need to see tangible benefits," Wang Changsheng stated soberly, implying that grand promises were easy to make.

"We can establish communication and exchange cultivation resources. Our Heavenly Moon Clan has Golden Immortal cultivators, which makes gathering cultivation resources much easier. Furthermore, we can share intelligence. This would be a win-win situation for your Wang family," Xun Long explained.

"Exchange cultivation resources? Fellow Daoist Xun, do you possess these items?" Wang Ruyan asked, taking out a blue jade slip and handing it to Xun Long.

Xun Long swept it with his divine sense, his brows furrowing deeply.

"I only possess one-twentieth of the items listed on your jade slip. Here are the cultivation resources I need to acquire," Xun Long said, taking out a silver jade slip and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense, nodded, and immediately produced materials for exchange with Xun Long. The items Xun Long sought were not particularly rare, consisting mainly of artifact refining components, likely including some "enlightenment" materials.

The two exchanged items, successfully obtaining what they required, to the satisfaction of both.

Wang Changsheng took out a blue Immortal Transmission Mirror, activated it with a spell, and Wang Qingcheng's face appeared on its surface.

"Qingcheng, activate the grand array to contact our clan members in the lower realm," Wang Changsheng instructed. "Tell them to assist the Heavenly Moon Clan in recovering its strength, establishing an alliance between our two clans."

"Understood, Father. I'll see to it right away," Wang Qingcheng replied.

Wang Changsheng put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror. Xun Long's face lit up with joy, and he thanked him profusely.
