Chapter 3843

Soon after, Wang Huayue entered, accompanied by a burly, golden-robed man. The man had wide, angry eyes, broad shoulders, a thick waist, and exuded immense power. Members of the Giant race possess transformation techniques, allowing them to freely alter their size. In the wild, giants typically operate in their true forms.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, this is our Family Head," Wang Huayue said, pointing at Wang Yongqian.

"I am Yue Lei, from the Tianyue Realm. It is a pleasure to meet you, Madam Wang."

"There's no need for formalities, Fellow Daoist Yue. You may reside with our family for now. I will need to send people to investigate your background. Rest assured, as long as your account aligns with what Ancestor Huayue has shared, there will be no issues. We will not inquire about other matters." To join the Wang family, one must pass an assessment, even if they are an ascendant. News of Wang Changsheng being a True Spirit cultivator had spread widely, leading many cultivators and factions to seek refuge with the Wang family, though the family only accepted a small portion of them.

"That is understandable," Yue Lei affirmed.

After a brief chat, Wang Yongqian summoned a deacon elder, who then escorted Yue Lei away. She immediately dispatched individuals to use a grand formation to contact their clan members in the Xuanyang Realm, instructing them to investigate Yue Lei's background.

The Ziwei Market was bustling with activity; the streets teemed with people, and the sounds of carriages and horses created a lively atmosphere. Wang Moxin strolled through the streets, a smile on his face. The Wang family owned twelve large shops in the Ziwei Market, with extensive business operations, including immortal wine, immortal pills, immortal talismans, immortal medicines, immortal wood, and immortal ores.

As he passed a junction, a graceful young woman in a green skirt approached him. She bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Wang, Elder Li requests your presence." The young woman in the green skirt was from the Nine Cauldrons Business Alliance. The Wang family had been doing business with the Nine Cauldrons Business Alliance for many years, maintaining a very pleasant cooperation.

Wang Moxin nodded and instructed, "Lead the way."

The young woman acknowledged, then led him into a vast estate. After passing through several arched gateways and small courtyards, they arrived at a secluded courtyard with blue tiles. Inside the courtyard, there was a blue stone pavilion, surrounded by green bamboo. Li Chengwen and Xu Ru were seated in the stone pavilion, enjoying tea and conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please sit. We just received a pot of excellent tea; you must try some." Li Chengwen gestured for Wang Moxin to sit and poured him a cup of spirit tea. Wang Moxin occasionally sold Li Chengwen some core crystals from one-color Chaos Beasts of the True Immortal stage. Even these cores prevented Li Chengwen from underestimating him. According to reliable sources, True Immortal Taihao was a True Spirit and had slain three-color Chaos Beasts of the True Immortal stage.

Wang Moxin politely picked up the teacup, took a sip of the spirit tea, and praised, "Excellent tea, Fellow Daoist Li. Are there any promising new ventures recently? Perhaps something our Wang family could profit from as well?"

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you jest. Does your Wang family not have enough opportunities already?" Xu Ru chuckled, teasing him.

"What opportunities could we possibly have? We merely follow orders. However, there is something that will surely interest Fellow Daoist Wang: the Qi family has gained another Golden Immortal cultivator and is preparing to hold a Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony," Li Chengwen stated. The Qi family publicly had three Golden Immortal cultivators, but likely more in reality. With the addition of another Golden Immortal, their strength had significantly increased.

"The Qi family has another Golden Immortal cultivator!" Wang Moxin exclaimed, his face showing both surprise and envy. He wondered when the Wang family would finally produce a Golden Immortal cultivator.

"Your Wang family has some dealings with the Qi family, which is good news for you," Li Chengwen said with a smile. After Wang Changsheng rescued Qi Hongfeng and returned to the Tianchen Sea, interactions between the Wang family and Qi family disciples increased.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Nine Immortal Sect hasn't held a Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony for a long time. I wonder if they simply don't wish to, or if there's another reason," Li Chengwen remarked meaningfully. It's not ideal for subordinate forces to become too powerful; if they catch up to or surpass their superiors and become unresponsive to commands, it can lead to complicated situations.

"That's unclear. By the way, what about the batch of goods I ordered?" Wang Moxin inquired, shifting to business.

"Here are the immortal medicines and herbs you requested. As agreed, you are to sell us some two-color Chaos Beast core crystals," Li Chengwen said, taking out a golden storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Moxin. Wang Moxin inspected each item. After confirming everything was correct, he took out a blue storage bracelet and handed it to Li Chengwen. Li Chengwen swept his divine sense over it, his face lighting up with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, if you ever have four-color or five-color core crystals for sale, please give priority to our Nine Cauldrons Business Alliance," Li Chengwen said enthusiastically, raising his teacup.

Wang Moxin raised his teacup for a toast and replied, "Certainly."

After half an hour of casual conversation, Wang Moxin bid farewell and departed.

A short while later, he appeared at the entrance of a vast estate. Just as he was about to send a voice transmission talisman, a familiar male voice rang out, "Ancestor Moxin, you've arrived." Wang Moxin looked towards the source of the voice and saw Wang Ruiyan walking towards him. Wang Ruiyan was currently at the early True Immortal stage, responsible for refining some first-tier immortal pills. Most of the immortal pills refined by Wang Qingbai were for internal consumption, while Liu Hongxue refined immortal pills in Haoyang City; each had their specific duties.

"Come, let's go inside to talk." Wang Moxin nodded and entered the estate with Wang Ruiyan, settling into a blue stone pavilion.

"Here are the immortal medicines and immortal fruits you requested. Take them for alchemy. Please sign for them first." Wang Moxin took out a blue storage bracelet and a silver jade plate, handing them to Wang Ruiyan. Wang Ruiyan swept his divine sense over the items, his face glowing with joy, and then signed on the silver jade plate.

"Oh, and by the way, I've successfully refined the Eight Desolation Spirit Nurturing Pills," Wang Ruiyan said, taking out two golden porcelain bottles and handing them to Wang Moxin. Wang Changsheng had acquired a considerable number of Desolate God Fruits, and Liu Hongxue, Wang Ruiyan, and Wang Qingbai had all received some to refine into Eight Desolation Spirit Nurturing Pills.

"Excellent!" Wang Moxin confirmed they were indeed the Eight Desolation Spirit Nurturing Pills, a broad smile spreading across his face.

"Also, I received news that the Haoyue Alliance has gained another Golden Immortal cultivator," Wang Ruiyan mentioned, as if something just occurred to him.

"Did you inform Chuanming?" Wang Moxin asked.

"I notified Ancestor Chuanming immediately. He said he was aware. I don't know what he's been busy with lately; he's always in the market, but I rarely see him," Wang Ruiyan replied.

"That's how the Dark Hall operates. Just pass on any information you discover. As for what he's busy with, that's not for you to inquire about; simply fulfill your own duties," Wang Moxin stated. He himself wasn't aware of Wang Chuanming's specific activities, only that he was responsible for business dealings. The various departments of the Wang family collaborated closely, and any useful information gathered by one department would be shared with the heads of other departments.

Wang Ruiyan nodded, acknowledging it was just a casual remark.

"Alright, get back to your work. I won't disturb you further. Please refine the immortal pills for that order as soon as possible so they can be delivered on time," Wang Moxin urged. After tens of thousands of years of development, the Wang family's pill shops were thriving, having gained a loyal customer base, with some clients placing orders in advance.

Wang Ruiyan nodded and agreed.

After a brief conversation, Wang Moxin bid farewell and departed.
