Chapter 3840: Resource Allocation

"What exactly is going on?" Jin Yulan asked, puzzled.

Du Tianhe did not conceal anything and recounted the entire sequence of events. Jin Yulan frowned and said, "Since Cao Yuanxing didn't want his immortal medicine, we shouldn't take it either. This way, the Cao family won't think we're being insensitive."

"Nephew Lu can consider going into seclusion to break through to the Grand Perfection of True Immortal, and Nephew Yang and the others can consider breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage," Du Tianhe said. "We must quickly replenish our Golden Immortal cultivators, otherwise, if the chaotic beast hordes launch another large-scale attack, we won't be able to stop them. We also need to procure mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons."

The Nine Immortals Sect was in urgent need of Golden Immortal level combat power, especially mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons.

"Go back to the main headquarters," Jin Yulan instructed. "Take some six-colored chaotic beast cores from the early Golden Immortal stage from the treasury, along with other materials. That should be enough to trade for mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons."

High-level chaotic beast cores were sought-after commodities, usable for exchanging rare cultivation resources.

Du Tianhe nodded and agreed.

Haoyang City, Haoyang Hall.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in the main seats, with Wang Qingshan, Ni Tianlong, Chen Yueying, and others seated on either side. "The Nine Immortals Sect has entrusted Haoyang City to our care," Wang Changsheng said. "However, our personnel are too few. We need to transfer people from the rear. We plan to follow Senior Du back for a trip. Senior Sister Chen, Fellow Daoist Ni, Fellow Daoist Lan, each of you send a representative to return with us to the rear to recruit skilled cultivators."

Haoyang City was vast; it was impossible to only have a few dozen True Immortal cultivators stationed there. Cultivators below the True Immortal stage were reserve forces. If anyone advanced to the True Immortal stage, it would strengthen Haoyang City. The same applied to other cities, which would also transfer cultivators below the True Immortal stage to reside within them. If chaotic beasts attacked, these cultivators would be taken into spatial treasures for refuge, and the spatial treasures would be carried along during escape. Aside from the Wang family members, low-level cultivators from Zhenhai Palace, the Ni family, the Li family, the Lan family, and the Wang family could all come to Haoyang City.

Chen Yueying and the others had no objections and agreed. After a few instructions, Wang Changsheng dismissed them, leaving only the Wang family members in the hall.

Wang Ruyan shook her sleeve, and nine jade boxes of different colors flew out, landing in front of Wang Qingshan and the others. "Inside each is a Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot and a Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit," Wang Ruyan said. "Take and consume them. We hope you can cultivate into true spirits with their help."

Wang Qingshan, Bai Linger, Wang Yingjie, Liu Hongxue, Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, Wang Mengbin, Bai Yuqi, and Ye Haitang each received a Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot. As for whether they could cultivate into true spirits, that depended on themselves. Wang Qingshan and the others agreed, their expressions filled with excitement.

Wang Changsheng gave a few instructions, then dismissed them, keeping only Wang Qingshan and Bai Linger.

Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist, and a golden jade bottle flew to rest in front of Wang Qingshan. "Ninth Uncle, what is this?" Wang Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

"It's a Qiankun Jade Dragon Pill," Wang Changsheng explained. "This is a second-tier immortal pill given by Senior Cao, which can increase the chances of immortals conceiving offspring. We hope you can have a son or daughter."

Wang Qingshan thanked him and accepted it.

"Wuyang City will be entrusted to you," Wang Changsheng said. "Azure Lotus Island cannot be without skilled cultivators. We are giving you three sets of chaotic armor and three low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons. You can arrange them as you see fit."

Wang Changsheng shook his sleeve, and a gleaming blue storage bracelet flew out towards Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan agreed and accepted the azure storage bracelet.

After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng dismissed them.

Wang Changsheng called Wang Qingfeng and gave him some artifact refining materials, including the method for crafting low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons. They had eliminated many enemies and obtained considerable wealth, including a pile of jade slips, among which was the crafting method for low-grade cannons.

Wang Ruyan called Liu Hongxue, shook her sleeve, and a golden jade bottle flew out, landing in front of Liu Hongxue. "Hongxue, this is a first-tier immortal flame. Please take it!" Wang Ruyan said.

"Ancestor, this is too precious," Liu Hongxue declined.

"The path of alchemy needs you to carry the banner, so please accept it!" Wang Changsheng encouraged. "We hope you can go further on your immortal path and eventually refine Dao Pills."

They had subdued a wild immortal flame and obtained another immortal flame by slaying an enemy. Wang Ruyan kept one and gave the other to Liu Hongxue.

The Wang family had a considerable number of immortal artifact refiners, but a pitifully small number of immortal alchemists. Their immortal array masters included Ye Haitang, Bai Yuqi, and Wang Yong'an.

"Thank you, Ancestor," Liu Hongxue said, no longer declining, and accepted the immortal flame.

Wang Changsheng gave Liu Hongxue a batch of immortal herbs and fruits for refining immortal pills. He called Ye Haitang and gave her a large sum of immortal essence stones and some array-setting materials.

Three days later, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qiulin left Haoyang City, followed Du Tianhe and others back to the Sky Morning Sea Realm, and returned to Azure Lotus Island.

"Ancestor, you're finally back," Wang Yongqian greeted them immediately.

"Has anything happened while we were away?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"No, everything is well," Wang Yongqian replied truthfully.

Wang Changsheng nodded and instructed, "Go call Qingcheng, Yidao, Qingbai, Hongshang, Qingling, and Qingjing." Wang Yongqian acknowledged and left to carry out the order.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in an azure stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting. Before long, Wang Qingcheng, Sun Yuejiao, Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, Su Hongshang, Lin Yiming, Wang Yidao, Wang Qingling, and Wang Qing all arrived.

"Each of you will receive a Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot and a Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit," Wang Changsheng instructed. "We hope you can seize this opportunity to cultivate into true spirits. This must be kept secret and not spread outside."

"Yes, Father (Ancestor)," Wang Qingcheng and the others replied, their expressions excited. They naturally knew the value of the Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot and Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit and wouldn't speak of it widely. Su Hongshang, Xiahou Yao, and Lin Yiming were particularly moved, as they were not direct family members, yet the Wang family treated everyone equally without discrimination.

Wang Changsheng gave a few instructions, then dismissed them, giving a batch of purple-gold thunder roc birds to Wang Qingling to cultivate. He handed a sum of cultivation resources to Wang Yongqian, instructing her to deposit them in the treasury.

He still had eight Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricots and seven Nine Spirit Immortal Fruits. Among these two types of immortal fruits, Wang Tunian, Wang Mengli, Wang Huanyu, Wang Chan, Wang Chan, Wang Shen, and Wang Ruyan each received one. One Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot was temporarily kept aside. Additionally, Wang Changsheng also gave a bottle of Beast Moon Pills to five individuals, including Wang Tunian, which could increase the purity of their bloodline, up to a maximum level of seven.

For major powers like the Nine Immortals Sect or Cangyun Palace, even obtaining twenty-six Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricots wouldn't lead to their immediate distribution. Even if a True Immortal disciple cultivated into a true spirit, it wouldn't significantly boost the overall strength of the Nine Immortals Sect. However, for the Wang family, even one True Immortal family member cultivating into a true spirit could substantially enhance the family's strength.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber, shook his sleeve, and the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out, floating above a magic array. Inside the cauldron were some chaotic beast cores, which he intended to purify.

He went to another secret chamber, took out an oval-shaped blue fruit, and quickly ate it. The Jade Glaze Immortal Fruit, which took 900,000 years to mature, was suitable for True Immortal cultivators as it could enhance their immortal essence. Wang Changsheng had obtained many Jade Glaze Immortal Fruits, and this was just one of them.

Wang Changsheng circulated his energy to refine the medicinal power. A watery blue aura appeared on his body, enveloping him completely.
