Chapter 3974: Flower Like Snow(Out of Stock Today)

"Have them come to the reception hall; I'll be right there," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Yes, Patriarch," Wang Yongqian replied.

Wang Changsheng put away his communication disk and went to the reception hall.

Soon after, Chen Yueying and the others entered, their faces wreathed in smiles. With Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan having advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, the Wang family's strength grew, and the more they stood to gain.

"Greetings, Senior Wang," Chen Yueying and the others bowed respectfully, their expressions solemn.

"Please, have a seat. We're all family here; there's no need to be so formal," Wang Changsheng said, waving his hand for them to sit.

"Qingfeng has told me everything. You've actively helped us defend the cities on the Chaotic Continent and contributed significantly. Your efforts are greatly appreciated," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

"Senior Wang, you're too kind. This is merely our duty. Without you, Senior Wang, we wouldn't be where we are today. Our Lan family will continue to follow your lead, just as before. You are the sun, moon, and stars, and we are but dust motes. We are honored that you don't disdain us, and we pledge to follow you to the death," Lan Fukong declared, his face full of flattery.

While in Haoyang City, Chen Yueying and the others had grown accustomed to Lan Fukong's frequent flattery; his sycophancy had reached an exceptional level of mastery.

As the saying goes, "Flattery will get you everywhere." Wang Changsheng was well aware of Lan Fukong's character and was accustomed to it.

"Our Zhenhai Palace is also willing to follow Senior Wang's lead and act according to your commands," Chen Yueying stated.

"Our Ni family, too.""The Li family as well.""Taiyi Palace likewise.""And the Spirit Race," Ni Tianlong and the others spoke up one after another, expressing their loyalty to the Wang family.

"You've had a long journey. Go back and rest first. When the celebration begins, all of you are welcome to come and have a few drinks," Wang Changsheng said.

He had sent word early to Chen Yueying and the others, inviting them back to attend his Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony, partly to ensure a strong turnout.

Ni Tianlong and the others agreed and departed one after another, while Chen Yueying remained.

"Senior Wang, I've accumulated a considerable amount of merit points. Would it be possible for Fellow Daoist Wang to perform a divination for me?" Chen Yueying asked, her face filled with anticipation.

She had accumulated these merit points by slaying Chaotic Beasts on the Chaotic Continent, which could be exchanged for cultivation resources from the Wang family. She had been reluctant to use them, specifically hoping that Wang Qiulin would perform another divination for her.

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out his communication disk, and contacted Wang Qiulin, asking him to come to the reception hall.

Soon after, Wang Qiulin arrived.

"Qiulin, please perform a divination for Senior Sister Chen! Senior Sister Chen has contributed greatly and done many things for our family. In the future, if Senior Sister Chen wishes for another divination from Qiulin, she will need to perform a significant meritorious deed," Wang Changsheng instructed. Privately, Wang Changsheng still addressed Chen Yueying as "Senior Sister Chen" to show respect, given her considerable care for the Wang family in the Xuanyang Realm.

"Senior Wang, you flatter me; I'm unworthy of such an address. Thank you, Senior Wang," Chen Yueying replied with trepidation.

Wang Changsheng smiled faintly, waved his hand, and Wang Qiulin led Chen Yueying away.

After Wang Changsheng's advancement to the Golden Immortal stage, Wang Qiulin could perform divinations for outsiders like Chen Yueying. If these individuals encountered great opportunities, the Wang family could also benefit, which served as a form of accumulated strength.

However, to request a divination from Wang Qiulin, one had to perform a significant meritorious deed; not just any True Immortal cultivator could ask for his help.

This occasion was an exception; from now on, all requests would follow the established rules.

Cui Yao walked in and respectfully said, "Patriarch, Fellow Daoist Wang from the Seventh Month Tower contacted me to congratulate you on advancing to the Golden Immortal stage. The Tower Master of the Seventh Month Tower wishes to speak with you. What do you think?"

Wang Manlou had maintained contact with Cui Yao over the years, selling her a considerable amount of intelligence.

Wang Changsheng nodded, agreeing.

Cui Yao took out a golden, shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror, cast a spell, and the mirror's surface instantly brightened. In it appeared a plump young woman in a white dress, with snow-white eyes, a small nose, and large ears—clearly not human.

"This humble one is Hua Ruxue. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang," the young woman in white greeted with a smile.

"I've long heard of Madam Hua's esteemed name. May I ask what guidance Madam Hua has for me?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

The Seventh Month Tower had several Golden Immortal cultivators and primarily dealt in intelligence. Previously, Wang Changsheng was only a True Immortal cultivator and naturally couldn't speak directly with Hua Ruxue. Now that he had advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, he was naturally qualified to do so.

"I heard Fellow Daoist Wang has advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, and this humble one was hoping to visit the Wang family for a celebratory drink. Would that be convenient for Fellow Daoist Wang?" Hua Ruxue asked politely. The Seventh Month Tower was an intelligence organization that needed to maintain good relations with Golden Immortal cultivators from various major powers, as these cultivators were also their biggest clients. By leveraging Wang Changsheng's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony, she hoped to strengthen her relationship with him, making it easier to sell intelligence to him in the future.

"If Madam Hua is willing to visit our Green Lotus Island, it would truly be an honor for us. We've been quite busy recently, and my subordinates have been overwhelmed, so we regrettably forgot to send an invitation to Madam Hua. My sincerest apologies," Wang Changsheng said with an apologetic expression. In truth, the Wang family had indeed not sent an invitation to the Seventh Month Tower, primarily because they didn't know any of the Seventh Month Tower's Golden Immortal cultivators, and sending an invitation to Wang Manlou wouldn't represent the entire organization.

"No matter, this humble one understands," Hua Ruxue replied with a slight smile, indicating her understanding.

After a brief chat, they concluded their conversation.

"Did Wang Manlou proactively suggest that Hua Ruxue speak with me, or did she bring it up only after you met her?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.

"Fellow Daoist Wang asked me first, and once I agreed, I met with Senior Hua, and then the rest followed," Cui Yao answered truthfully.

Wang Changsheng nodded, indicating that Wang Manlou still held the Wang family in high regard.

After giving a few instructions, Wang Changsheng dismissed Cui Yao to attend to her duties and returned to Green Lotus Peak.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber, where the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron floated in mid-air.

With a single gesture, the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron flew towards him and landed on the ground.

He opened the cauldron's lid to reveal dozens of pure crystal cores inside, most of them monochromatic.

Wang Changsheng put away the pure crystal cores, took out refining materials, and began forging Chaotic Armor.

The number of Immortal Armored Soldiers in the Wang family was still too small. Wang Qingshan and others had collected many pieces of Chaotic Armor and Chaotic Stones, which they had sent back via Wang Qingfeng.

He planned to forge more Chaotic Armor to expand the Immortal Armored Army's numbers. This way, should another beast tide erupt on the Chaotic Continent, the Wang family would possess greater power to resist the Chaotic Beasts.

Wang Changsheng dropped the materials into the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron, closed the lid, and exhaled a stream of snow-blue flame that settled at the bottom.

His divine sense fully extended, he closely monitored the changes within the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron.

He had refined it many times before, so he was quite familiar with the process; forging the Chaotic Armor was merely a matter of time.

The Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony was ninety years away. The Wang family had widely distributed invitations, and besides their relatives and old acquaintances from the Tianchen Sea Territory, the Ye family and Cao family had also received invitations. It remained unknown whether they would send representatives to offer congratulations.

Given the significant power disparity between the Cao family, Ye family, and Wang family, it would be normal if they didn't send anyone, especially the Cao family. Over the years, several Golden Immortal cultivators had emerged from the Nine Immortals Sect, Hundred Refinements Island, and Snow Crystal Tribe, holding their own Golden Immortal Grand Ceremonies, yet the Cao family hadn't sent anyone to congratulate them either.
