Chapter 3938: Generous Wang Qingxiao

In a secluded manor in Haoyang City, Ye Haitang and a tall young man in a golden shirt were seated in a green stone pavilion, deep in conversation.

"Friend Gao," Ye Haitang said politely, "Cousin Qingshan and the others were severely injured and are now in seclusion for healing. I will notify you immediately once they emerge."

The young man in the golden shirt was Gao Yibin, a mid-stage True Immortal and Gao Shurao's grand-nephew. The Wang family had always aligned themselves with the Gao family. When the Wang family was targeted by Meng Yudie this time, Gao Yibin personally came to visit, both to demonstrate their close ties and to offer support to the Wang family.

The Gao family had been unlucky. After finally producing two Golden Immortal cultivators, Gao Shuhao and Gao Shurao, Gao Shuhao, immediately upon reaching the Golden Immortal stage and arriving on the Chaos Continent, encountered a tide of chaos beasts. He was captured by a Golden Immortal-level chaos beast and perished.

"Alright!" Gao Yibin said, taking out a golden porcelain bottle and handing it to Ye Haitang. "This bottle of Nine Stars Pills has excellent healing effects. Please give it to them for me!"

Ye Haitang thanked him and accepted the golden porcelain bottle. After Gao Yibin departed, Ye Haitang retrieved a black Dharma disk, cast a spell, and heard Wang Qingling's voice: "Haitang, Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine are here. Please come over too!"

"Uncle and Aunt are here! I'm coming right away," Ye Haitang replied, putting away the Dharma disk and heading to Wang Qingling's residence.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qiulin, and Wang Qingling were seated in a green stone pavilion, engaged in conversation. They had rushed to Haoyang City as quickly as possible, without alarming anyone, to find Wang Qingling and hand over the *Four Deities Art*.

Ye Haitang was overjoyed to see Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, as it had been a long time since their last meeting. Wang Changsheng inquired about Ye Haitang's cultivation progress and daily life. She truthfully explained that, besides her cultivation, she typically exchanged insights on array formations with other immortal array masters or attended gatherings to trade cultivation resources.

"Haitang, you've worked hard these past few years," Wang Changsheng said.

"If anyone's worked hard, it's Uncle and Aunt," Ye Haitang replied. "Oh, by the way, this is the core of the Dao Enlightenment Fruit. I've eaten the fruit, but Uncle can use the core for artifact refining!" She took out an exquisite golden jade box and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng accepted the golden jade box. After they chatted for more than half an hour, Ye Haitang excused herself and departed.

"Qingling, you should change your cultivation method," Wang Changsheng advised. "The *Four Deities Art* is very suitable for you." Having said this, he prepared to leave.

"Wait, Uncle Nine," Wang Qingling called out, "Qingxiao has something to tell you."

Wang Changsheng paused for a moment and looked towards Wang Qingxiao.

"Uncle Nine, let Qiulin take this Dao Enlightenment Fruit!" Wang Qingxiao said, taking out an exquisite golden jade box and handing it to Wang Qiulin. "After taking it, his comprehension will significantly improve, making his deductions and divinations much more potent."

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan looked utterly shocked. This was no ordinary item; it was a Dao Enlightenment Fruit.

"A Dao Enlightenment Fruit? This is far too precious, Uncle Qingxiao. You obtained it; I can't accept it," Wang Qiulin politely refused. Wang Qingling had already detailed how they nearly died obtaining the Dao Enlightenment Fruit, and since Wang Qiulin hadn't contributed much, he felt it would be inappropriate to take it.

"Originally, my sister intended to offer her own Dao Enlightenment Fruit," Wang Qingxiao explained. "We merge during combat, and now with the *Four Deities Art*, we will continue to merge in future battles. It's enough for my sister to consume the Dao Enlightenment Fruit. Our family has finally produced a divination talent, and if Qiulin takes this Dao Enlightenment Fruit, his comprehension will increase significantly, enabling him to provide even greater assistance to the family."

They were inseparable and merged during combat, meaning that if one improved, both would benefit. While it would naturally be better if both consumed a Dao Enlightenment Fruit, for the sake of the family's development, Wang Qingxiao decided to give up his own Dao Enlightenment Fruit for Wang Qiulin to consume.

If the Dao Enlightenment Fruit's core were refined into a Dao Enlightenment treasure and worn, it could also enhance comprehension. While its effect would certainly not match that of the fruit itself, it would still be significantly more potent than other Dao Enlightenment treasures.

"Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine, please let Qiulin consume this Dao Enlightenment Fruit," Wang Qingling urged. "This is our sincere intention."

"Exactly!" Wang Qingxiao echoed. "Refining the Dao Enlightenment Fruit core into a treasure and wearing it can also enhance comprehension."

"Alright then! You'll be credited for this," Wang Changsheng said. "Qiulin, quickly thank Qingling and Qingxiao, and remember their kindness to you."

Wang Qiulin stood up, bowed to the four of them, and said, "Thank you, Grandfather, Grandmother, Aunt Qingling, and Uncle Qingxiao."

Wang Qingxiao's willingness to give up his own Dao Enlightenment Fruit was exceptionally rare. With so many cultivators and spiritual body possessors in the Wang family, bestowing it specifically upon Wang Qiulin demonstrated immense regard.

If this Dao Enlightenment Fruit had been offered for selection, it would not have been easy for Wang Qiulin to acquire. The clan possessed many elites, and considering seniority and contributions, it truly wouldn't have been his turn. It's worth noting that even Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingcheng, and Wang Qingbai did not possess Dao Enlightenment Fruits.

"After you've eaten the Dao Enlightenment Fruit, give me the core," Wang Changsheng instructed. "I'll use it for artifact refining to help True Immortal clan members comprehend laws."

"Yes, Grandfather," Wang Qiulin replied.

After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng and the other two left Wang Qingling's residence and proceeded to Wang Qingshan's abode.

Wang Qingshan had already consumed the Dao Enlightenment Fruit, but he had not yet comprehended a fifth law. It takes a significant amount of time to fully grasp a new law.

"Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine, these are your Dao Enlightenment Fruits. Please consume them first!" Wang Qingshan said, taking out two exquisite green jade boxes and handing them to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng nodded. Given the preciousness of the Dao Enlightenment Fruits, they naturally wouldn't take them back to Qinglian Island to consume later; they would eat them immediately.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan departed, arriving at a secluded manor featuring pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and long corridors.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber. Inside, a green meditation mat lay on the floor. He sat cross-legged upon it, took out the Dao Enlightenment Fruit, and swiftly consumed it.

The roar of surging waves filled Wang Changsheng's ears. He felt as if he were suspended above a vast, boundless ocean, the water violently churning and raising colossal waves.

He closed his eyes, a look of rapture on his face, and began comprehending the Law of Water.

In a secluded manor in Jiuxian City, Gao Shurao sat in a green stone pavilion, an exquisite tea set laid out on the green stone table before her. Gao Yibin stood reporting to her, his expression respectful.

"They were severely injured? You didn't see them?" Gao Shurao asked, frowning.

"No," Gao Yibin replied, a hint of displeasure in his voice. "Their injuries are likely very severe. It's possible their physical bodies were destroyed, and they're undergoing spirit possession and re-cultivation. Honestly, it's all Fellow Daoist Meng's fault; Fellow Daoist Wang clearly advised against going deep into the Hulian Mountains, but he simply wouldn't listen."

"Ultimately, Meng Yudie was backing him up. Hmph, I'll settle this score with her later. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her. You may leave!" Gao Shurao waved her hand, dismissing Gao Yibin.
