Chapter 3989: Refining Medium-grade Chaos Armor

A team of cultivators stood on the city wall of Haoyang City. Gongsun Yang stood among them, gazing at the distant horizon.

A streak of green light approached from the distance and, with a flash, stopped above Haoyang City. It revealed a flying boat shimmering with green light, with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan standing on it, both smiling.

"Senior Wang, Senior Wang, you're back!" Gongsun Yang exclaimed with delight.

Wang Changsheng nodded, chatted briefly with Gongsun Yang, then flew into Haoyang City and landed at Haoyang Hall.

This trip yielded great rewards, including the corpses of over a thousand Chaos Beasts and a batch of immortal herbs. After eliminating more than twenty Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts, they visited their lairs to collect immortal herbs. They found over a hundred immortal herbs that were more than a million years old. Besides consuming immortals, Chaos Beasts can also cultivate by consuming immortal herbs.

The lairs of every Chaos Beast tribe contain cultivation resources. The stronger the tribe, the more precious and abundant these resources are. Some demon-hunting teams would venture deep into the Hulian Mountain Range to search for cultivation resources; whether they succeed depends on their strength.

The oldest herb they found was a Two-Million-Year Jade Sun Grass. There were also over two thousand immortal herbs between three hundred thousand and one million years old, and a large Haoyuan Crystal ore vein. Haoyuan Crystal is a second-tier immortal ore, but Wang Changsheng couldn't take it all. After excavating some raw Haoyuan Crystal ore, they left the Hulian Mountain Range and returned to Haoyang City.

Wang Ruyan took out a blue Immortal Transmission Mirror, input a magic incantation, and Wang Qingfeng's image appeared.

"Mother, are you and Father alright?" Wang Qingfeng asked with concern.

"We're fine," Wang Ruyan replied. "Has Qingshan emerged from seclusion?"

"Yes, he has," Wang Qingfeng replied with a smile. "Seventh Brother has already reached the Great Perfection of True Immortal stage."

"That's great," Wang Ruyan instructed. "You and Qingshan come to Haoyang Hall; we have something to tell him." She then put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror.

Not long after, Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingfeng arrived at Haoyang Hall.

"Qingshan," Wang Changsheng cautioned, "we'll be in Haoyang City for a while, so you should return to the Tianchen Sea Region. There are two types of immortal pills for advancing to the Golden Immortal stage, both in the family treasury. However, don't attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal stage yet. We've inquired, and if a True Immortal cultivator's laws are only partially mastered, the power of the tribulation lightning is quite strong; Fairy Xuanyin was struck down by it. We'll collect materials here to refine defensive immortal talismans, immortal artifacts, and immortal formations. We'll send them back to Qinglian Island, and then you can attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal stage; that way, you'll have a better chance."

With Fairy Xuanyin as a cautionary example, Wang Changsheng naturally wanted to learn from it and acquire more defensive treasures for his clansmen. Of course, even if Wang Qingshan were struck down by the tribulation lightning while attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal stage, it wouldn't be a problem; he could be resurrected using the Legacy Tablet. This was something even a Substitute Tribulation Immortal Artifact couldn't achieve. To be cautious, it was still better to prepare more defensive measures.

"Uncle and Aunt, I appreciate your efforts," Wang Qingshan said, bowing respectfully.

"No need to be so polite among family," Wang Changsheng said solemnly. "After returning to Qinglian Island, even if the Nine Immortal Sect calls for enlistment, you don't need to fight. Let others from the Yongqian Sect participate. If you advance to the Golden Immortal stage, our family's strength will be much greater, and that is the most important thing."

True Immortal cultivators like Ye Haitang and Wang Mengbin, who have only partially mastered their laws, will need to prepare more defensive treasures if they attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal stage, to avoid repeating Fairy Xuanyin's mistake.

Wang Qingshan readily agreed. After giving a few more instructions, Wang Changsheng sent him back.

"Qingfeng," Wang Changsheng said, taking out a green storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Qingfeng, "these are the corpses of True Immortal-level Chaos Beasts. Take them and process them. Once you're done, give me the core crystals and hides, as well as the essence blood, teeth, and bones of the five-colored Chaos Beasts."

The storage bracelet contained the corpses of True Immortal-level Chaos Beasts, meant for Wang Qingfeng to process. They had eliminated too many Chaos Beasts, so Wang Changsheng only needed to handle the Golden Immortal-level corpses, leaving the True Immortal-level ones for other clan members to process.

Wang Qingfeng agreed, took the storage bracelet, and left.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan each entered a secret chamber, busy with their respective tasks of artifact refining and talisman crafting.

Wang Changsheng took out the Myriad Spirits Map, hung it on the wall, and entered it. He appeared in an open area. With a flick of his wrist, a blue light flashed, and more than twenty Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beast corpses appeared on the ground. He took out a long saber shimmering with blue light, slit open the abdomen of one Chaos Beast, and dug out a five-colored core crystal. He dug out core crystals one by one from the Chaos Beasts and stripped off their hides.

He had some Primal Chaos Stones. With the hides of Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts, he could refine mid-grade Chaos Armor. If Wang Qingshan wore it during his tribulation, it should be able to withstand multiple immortal lightning bolts. Later generations benefit from the efforts of their predecessors.

The essence blood, teeth, and bones of these Chaos Beasts could also be used to refine Immortal Slaying Arrows. In addition, Wang Changsheng planned to attempt refining a Golden Immortal-level puppet beast. Before this, many immortal artifact masters had attempted to refine puppet beasts from Chaos Beast corpses; most had failed, with very few successes. The difficulty of refining puppet beasts from Chaos Beast corpses was similar to refining Chaos Armor; the higher the grade of the Chaos Beast, the more difficult it was to refine into a puppet beast. While this was very difficult for others, it was not a significant challenge for him.

Wang Changsheng kept two five-colored Chaos Beast corpses to refine into Golden Immortal-level puppet beasts. If successful, this would be another trump card. He had heard from Cao Yuanxing that some ghost-path sects liked to refine Chaos Beast corpses into Corpse Refinements to combat Chaos Beasts. However, the difficulty was as high as refining Chaos Armor, and the success rate was not high. The Cao family had also tried, wasting many Chaos Beast corpses, and eventually gave up.

Wang Changsheng put away the Chaos Beast corpses and exited the Myriad Spirits Map. He flicked his sleeve, and the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out, landing on the ground. He placed twenty-five core crystals inside the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, covered it with the lid, and injected immortal power. The azure lotus pattern emitted dazzling green light, which dimmed after a while.

Wang Changsheng opened the lid, looked at the twenty-five pure core crystals, and showed a look of joy. Twenty-four five-colored core crystals and one six-colored core crystal. They could definitely be exchanged for seven-colored core crystals. With their current strength, they weren't entirely confident in eliminating a seven-colored Chaos Beast. However, to obtain seven-colored core crystals, they didn't necessarily have to kill one; they could exchange pure core crystals for them. Furthermore, mid-grade Chaos Armor could also be exchanged for seven-colored core crystals; it was just a matter of quantity. Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beast core crystals were the primary currency for Golden Immortal cultivators. Immortal Essence Stones could also be used, but their appeal was not as great as core crystals.

Wang Changsheng put away the core crystals and took out his artifact refining materials. He threw the Chaos Beast hides into the cauldron, covered it with the lid, and sprayed a stream of snowy blue flame onto the bottom of the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron. He intended to first refine the mid-grade Chaos Armor for Wang Qingshan to use during his tribulation.
