"Fairy Mu, there are no outsiders here. Please feel free to speak your mind," Wang Ruyan said.
Wang Changsheng held the Origin Stone, observing it carefully.
"I have the refining method for low-grade Chaos Armor, and I'll sell it to you along with this Origin Stone," Mu Duoduo said slowly, her face filled with anticipation. "However, I want the core of a True Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beast. Of course, this would be a disadvantage for you, so if you agree, I can get you some more Origin Stones. All I need is the Five-Colored Chaos Beast core."
This piece of Origin Stone was too small to refine a set of mid-grade Chaos Armor, otherwise she would have sold it to major powers like the Nine Immortals Sect.
"The refining method for Chaos Armor!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat tempted.
As Mu Duoduo said, he didn't need Chaos Armor himself, but his clan members could use it. Chaos Armor's defensive power was superior to most defensive immortal robes. If he could refine a few sets of Chaos Armor and train a unit of Immortal Armored soldiers, it could play a significant role and greatly enhance the strength of his clan members.
"Fairy Mu makes it sound easy, but Chaos Armor isn't that simple to refine," Wang Ruyan said with a smile, taking a sip of spirit tea.
"It's true it's not easy to refine, but practice makes perfect. Refine it a few more times, and you'll eventually succeed," Mu Duoduo said, her voice full of temptation. "Fellow Daoist Wang, as an immortal artifact refiner, don't you want to refine a few sets of Chaos Armor to arm your clan members?"
"The core of a True Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beast is too precious," Wang Changsheng haggled. "Besides your conditions, I also want a 300,000-year-old Seven-Flame Ganoderma."
"I can't provide a 300,000-year-old Seven-Flame Ganoderma. How about this: I'll give you some more Hao Yuan Crystals, which are materials for refining heavy mid-grade immortal artifacts, and I'll help you keep an eye out for news of the Seven-Flame Ganoderma," Mu Duoduo said.
Wang Changsheng thought for a moment and agreed. Hao Yuan Crystals were relatively valuable among second-tier immortal ores.
"I don't have that many Origin Stones on hand; I'll need time to gather them," Mu Duoduo said, taking out a golden jade slip and handing it to Wang Changsheng. "I'll give you this Origin Stone and the Chaos Armor refining method first as a deposit. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast core must be given to me in exchange."
"Fairy Mu's capabilities are quite impressive! She can even obtain the refining method for Chaos Armor," Wang Ruyan praised.
"I obtained it from the corpse of a True Immortal cultivator. To be honest with you, I've copied many copies and sold them to several immortal artifact refiners," Mu Duoduo said sincerely. "If you feel it's too much of a loss, I can give you some more refining materials as compensation." She added that business relies on sincerity.
"Was the Origin Stone also obtained from a True Immortal cultivator?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.
"No, not that," Mu Duoduo explained. "I got it through special channels. You can rest assured, it wasn't stolen. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast core is a hot commodity in the Chaos Continent; a few Origin Stones are nothing. After all, whether Chaos Armor can actually be refined is another matter entirely."
"Deal," Wang Changsheng said, accepting the jade slip. "I'll write you a receipt."
"No need for that," Mu Duoduo said sincerely. "I might not trust others, but I trust Fellow Daoist Wang."
Even if Wang Changsheng were to renege on the deal, she would only lose one Origin Stone.
"Alright then," Wang Changsheng said. "When you've acquired the rest of the items, come find us again. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast core can be yours."
"It's a deal," Mu Duoduo said, beaming with joy and raising her teacup.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan also raised their teacups. The three clinked cups and drank.
"Oh, right, Fellow Daoist Wang," Mu Duoduo said, remembering something and cautioning him, "please keep it a secret that I sold you the Origin Stone. If the news spreads, it will be difficult for me to do business."
"Don't worry, Fairy Mu, we're not ones to gossip," Wang Changsheng agreed. He had heard that the procurement departments of some major powers were rife with corruption, and Mu Duoduo was likely trading with their procurement staff.
Mu Duoduo nodded and began chatting with Wang Changsheng.
"Fairy Mu, are you from another 'Xuan' city?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.
"No, I'm from Yunlang City. Your great reputation has already reached Yunlang City," Mu Duoduo said, her face full of envy. Wang Changsheng's immense strength meant he could do well anywhere he went, whereas she had to constantly travel, acquiring resources to sell and earn cultivation resources.
Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and asked, "By the way, do you have any news of Heavenly Venerable Xuanling?"
"No!" Mu Duoduo guessed. "That person hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years. I heard he was pursued by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beast; he's probably dead!"
After chatting for over half an hour, Mu Duoduo bid farewell and left to gather the remaining items for her exchange with Wang Changsheng.
"I didn't expect Fairy Mu's capabilities to be so great, to be able to obtain both Origin Stones and the refining method for low-grade Chaos Armor," Wang Ruyan sighed.
"Without some capability, she wouldn't be able to do business in the Chaos Continent. Everyone has their own rules for survival," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice. "This is good; with the materials and the refining method, I can try refining Chaos Armor."
After a few more casual words, Wang Changsheng returned to his room to rest.
On a vast, boundless plain, with a loud bang, Cao Xuelan fell from high in the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating a large crater. Her right arm was gone, her face was pale, and her body was covered in blood.
She had led a team deep into the Chaos Beast territory, where they indeed found rare cultivation resources, but they were also besieged by Chaos Beasts. Cao Xuelan and the others had to disperse to break through the encirclement.
Five Chaos Beasts at the early Golden Immortal stage rushed from afar; four were five-colored, and one was six-colored.
A five-colored Chaos Beast with a pair of huge bird wings swooped down from high in the sky, heading straight for Cao Xuelan at great speed.
Cao Xuelan's face showed despair. Just then, a piercing sound of air being torn echoed, and three incredibly thick beams of light shot over, striking the five-colored Chaos Beast one after another.
A miserable roar rang out as three horrifying blood holes appeared on the five-colored Chaos Beast's body, gushing blood. Simultaneously, dozens of thick green vines burst from the ground, weaving into a large green hand that slapped towards the five-colored Chaos Beast.
With a muffled thud, the five-colored Chaos Beast flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground and creating a large crater.
It hadn't died yet, but it was severely wounded and had lost its combat ability; death was only a matter of time.
A red light flashed, and a tall young man in a red shirt appeared, with a pair of red-glowing feathered wings on his back.
The red-shirted youth had handsome features and a heroic aura about his brows.
"Ancestor Yuanxing!" Cao Xuelan exclaimed, letting out a long sigh of relief as she saw the red-shirted youth.
Cao Yuanxing raised his right hand, and a golden pill flew out, heading straight for Cao Xuelan.
Cao Xuelan opened her mouth, letting the golden pill fly in, and swallowed it.
The green vines glowed with a dazzling green light, revealing a curvaceous young woman in a green skirt.
The young woman in the green skirt had cherry lips and an exquisite nose, eyebrows like emerald feathers, skin like congealed fat, and a slender waist cinched by a golden belt.
"Ancestor Jingxia!"
