Chapter 3869

Unlike Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, who could support themselves through refining artifacts and crafting talismans, she relied entirely on cooperating with Lan Fukong and others to hunt down chaotic beasts and selling their carcasses for immortal essence stones.

Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan were not struggling financially; they each possessed several low-grade immortal artifacts, having their own unique opportunities.

After repeated inquiries, Chen Yueying learned that Cheng Zhenyu had accidentally discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling.

She didn't believe it was an accident. Despite her persistent questioning, Cheng Zhenyu refused to disclose more. Left with no choice, she swore an oath with an inner demon, which finally compelled Cheng Zhenyu to reveal the secret, allowing Chen Yueying to understand the situation.

"Senior Martial Sister Chen, it's not that I don't trust you, but Qiulin can perform a divination for you, provided you swear an oath on the Azure Lotus never to reveal what you learn," Wang Changsheng said earnestly.

A verbal promise was insufficient; using a treasure like the Azure Lotus for an oath was most effective. Chen Yueying readily agreed, having no intention of divulging anything. She knew that the fewer people aware of such matters, the better, otherwise, everyone would seek divination from Wang Qiulin, and she wouldn't get her turn.

Wang Changsheng took out the Azure Lotus. Chen Yueying opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of vital essence blood, which merged into the lotus as she swore never to disclose the information.

Wang Ruyan called Wang Qiulin and asked him to perform a divination for Chen Yueying.

Wang Qiulin clarified Chen Yueying's birthdate and time, then took out a golden, shimmering divination plate. He infused several incantations into it, causing the plate's surface to glow brightly, revealing numerous abstruse characters forming a Bagua pattern.

He continuously performed hand seals, beginning his divination.

After a short while, Wang Qiulin spoke, "Your opportunity is related to the words 'Chiyang,' and it's a minor one."

"'Chiyang'? Is there no specific direction?" Chen Yueying pressed.

"No, not everyone's opportunity can be pinpointed to a specific location. 'Chiyang' is a place name. That's all I can tell you," Wang Qiulin replied.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Wang. This is a two-colored chaotic beast's crystal core, a small token of my appreciation." Chen Yueying took out an exquisite yellow jade box and handed it to Wang Qiulin.

Wang Qiulin looked at Wang Changsheng, who nodded. Wang Qiulin then thanked her and accepted the gift.

"Qiulin, you've worked hard. You may go rest now!" Wang Ruyan dismissed Wang Qiulin.

"'Chiyang'! A place name. Chiyang Island? Chiyang City? Chiyang Fort? Chiyang Market? Or Chiyang Sea Region?" Chen Yueying muttered to herself. There were many places with "Chiyang" in their names, making it difficult to find her opportunity.

"There's a Chiyang Island in the Tianchen Sea Region, controlled by the Lin family," Wang Ruyan said.

The Tianchen Sea Region had too many islands, and the Lin family was one of the nine major powers. Chiyang Island was an important stronghold for them. If Chen Yueying were to target Chiyang Island, it would be akin to poking a tiger's behind.

"Thank you, Junior Martial Brother Wang and Junior Martial Sister Wang. Please rest assured, I won't spread this. Junior Martial Brother Cheng only told me after I swore an oath with an inner demon," Chen Yueying explained.

Wang Changsheng nodded. This reminded him that in the future, if Wang Qiulin were to perform divinations for others, they must also swear an oath on the Azure Lotus, as a verbal promise was indeed too unreliable. Wang Qiulin had not performed many divinations for True Immortal cultivators, but his readings were always very accurate. After chatting for a while, Chen Yueying took her leave. No sooner had she departed than Wang Yingjie and Wang Qiuting returned.

Wang Qiuting wore a water-blue ruqun. Her features were delicate, her eyes lively, and she had two charming dimples on her face.

Wang Qiuting was currently at the early True Immortal stage, having opened four apertures.

After Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan opened their fifth apertures, they handed the remaining Seven Flames Pills to Wang Qingshan and others to open theirs.

Currently, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Liu Hongxue, Wang Qingfeng, Bai Yuqi, and Wang Yingjie had all opened five apertures, with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan possessing the highest cultivation levels among them.

"Qiuting greets Granduncle Nine and Grandaunt Nine," Wang Qiuting said with a graceful bow. This was her first time meeting Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan in person.

"Excellent. I heard from Mengbin that you've deduced a cultivation technique?" Wang Changsheng asked kindly.

Wang Qiuting, on her own, and by consulting other scriptures, had deduced a cultivation technique called the *Evergreen Immortal Scripture*, which could be cultivated to the late True Immortal stage. The Wang family had already distributed this technique to its members for practice.

Wang Qiuting nodded, took out a green jade slip, and handed it to Wang Changsheng, saying, "This is the cultivation technique I deduced. Please take a look, Granduncle Nine."

Wang Changsheng took the green jade slip, swept it with his divine sense, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Qiuting, since this is our first meeting and I don't have many good things on hand, I'll give you this body-protecting immortal talisman. It's comparable to my full-strength attack and will automatically activate when you encounter mortal danger."

Wang Ruyan took out a blue-glowing talisman and handed it to Wang Qiuting.

"And I'll give you this set of Ruyi Immortal-Slaying Blades. You shouldn't call me Granduncle Nine for nothing."

Wang Changsheng took out nine blue-glowing flying daggers and handed them to Wang Qiuting.

This set of immortal artifacts was forged from Darkwater Jade Crystals. If sold, it could easily fetch several thousand immortal essence stones.

Wang Qiuting thanked them profusely, her face beaming with joy as she accepted the protective immortal talisman and the Ruyi Immortal-Slaying Blades.

"Yingjie, I heard your strength has increased considerably since you started cultivating the *Great Five Elements Immortal Suppression Scripture*," Wang Ruyan said, looking at Wang Yingjie with an appreciative expression.

"Thanks to the immense blessings of our ancestors," Wang Yingjie replied humbly.

Wang Changsheng inquired about their cultivation progress, and they answered truthfully.

"Alright, you've had a long journey. Go back and rest first! In three days, Qiuting will join us in worshiping our ancestors," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Clan members who grew up in Haoyang City, upon returning to Azure Lotus Island, were required to worship their ancestors and listen to the clan elders recount the family's history. This ritual also served to strengthen their sense of belonging and honor. Ancestor worship was one of the ways for cultivators from immortal families to enhance their sense of belonging; all such families practiced it, while immortal sects worshipped their patriarchs.

Wang Yingjie and Wang Qiuting agreed and withdrew.

"Senior Martial Sister Chen's opportunity is related to 'Chiyang.' Could it be the Chiyang Sea Region?" Wang Ruyan wondered aloud.

"Perhaps. What I'm more curious about is what Senior Martial Sister Chen's minor opportunity entails," Wang Changsheng said.

Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan's discovery of an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling was a minor opportunity. It was unknown what Chen Yueying's minor opportunity would be.

Wang Ruyan remembered something, took out her communication plate, contacted Wang Yongqian, and asked, "Yongqian, have Chuanming and Mengshan still not settled that matter?"

Wang Chuanming had been observing the True Immortal cultivator, suspected to be a descendant of the Li family, for over a hundred thousand years. "Not yet. That person seems to be in secluded cultivation. They haven't left the market, and Chuanming has tried many methods, such as ancient cultivator cave dwellings, but they still haven't left. They are still keeping watch," Wang Yongqian reported.

"If there's any development, inform me immediately," Wang Ruyan instructed, putting away her communication plate.

"Chuanming's patience is commendable, observing a True Immortal cultivator for over a hundred thousand years," Wang Changsheng praised.

"He and Mengshan take turns watching, so it doesn't delay their cultivation. I hope he can ascertain this person's true identity soon! It would be wonderful if they really are a descendant of the Li family," Wang Ruyan said.

The major powers had been searching for Cangli Island, but without success. It would be excellent if the Wang family could locate it.
