Chapter 4033: Wealth Explosion

He took out a red-glowing Transmission Immortal Mirror, cast a spell into it, and Murong Youming appeared on the mirror's surface, looking grief-stricken.

"Ancestor Yunfeng, Yurong's and Ancestor Zhengde's soul lamps have extinguished. They've been killed."

Murong Youming was heartbroken.

"What? When did this happen?" Murong Yunfeng exclaimed, his face filled with shock and alarm.

"Just now, their soul lamps extinguished one after another, with little time in between," Murong Youming said.

Murong Yunfeng's expression turned grim. To be able to kill Murong Zhengde and Murong Yurong in such a short time, the enemy's strength must be extraordinary.

Golden Immortal Grand Completion cultivators possess this power, but there aren't many Immortals who have reached Golden Immortal Grand Completion in the Sky Morning Sea Domain. Could they be Golden Immortal cultivators from outside?

He couldn't figure it out, so he ordered, "Instruct everyone to spare no effort in finding the whereabouts of Cangli Island. Anything related to the Li family—be it cultivation techniques, immortal artifacts, or soul cultivation methods—must be thoroughly investigated."

"Yes, Ancestor Yunfeng," Murong Youming replied.

Murong Yunfeng put away the Transmission Immortal Mirror and muttered to himself, "Could it be descendants of the Li family? So many years have passed, and they haven't all died out; they've risen from the ashes!" His gaze was dark and uncertain as he left the place.

Large numbers of Murong family cultivators were dispatched, searching everywhere for Cangli Island and creating a huge commotion. Those unaware of the situation even thought the Murong family was about to restart a war, and it even alarmed Yu Weiwei.

On Green Lotus Island, at Green Bamboo Peak, Wang Qingshan sat in a green bamboo pavilion, while Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan stood respectfully to the side.

Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan primarily searched for Cangli Island in the territories of the Nine Immortals Sect, Hundred Refinements Island, and the Snow Crystal Tribe. Aside from that, they went to some remote sea areas. They absolutely dared not appear near the strongholds of the Murong family, the Bright Moon Alliance, or the Beast Spirit Gate, as they would lose their lives if discovered.

Wang Qingshan had no such concerns. If he were determined to escape, even three or four Golden Immortal cultivators working together wouldn't be able to stop him.

Of course, Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan played an indispensable role in his quick discovery of Cangli Island. They had traveled to many places over the years without finding Cangli Island, which allowed those locations to be ruled out. Wang Qingshan simply needed to visit the places Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan hadn't been to.

"You and Mengshan have worked hard. I've spoken with Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine, and we'll reward you with a large sum of merit points. You can exchange these merit points for whatever resources you need!" Wang Qingshan said.

"Yes, Ancestor Qingshan," Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan assented.

"Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine are back," Wang Qingshan said, looking up at the sky, as Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan descended from above, landing before them.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan bowed respectfully.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and two storage bracelets flew out towards Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan. He said, "You've handled matters capably, and these are your rewards. Go with Qingshan to the Chaos Continent! There's a bigger stage for you there."

"Thank you, Ancestor," Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan agreed, their faces full of joy, and bowed as they withdrew.

"Uncle Nine, Aunt Nine, how was it? No loose ends, right?" Wang Qingshan asked.

"No, we handled it very cleanly," Wang Changsheng said, as he manipulated Cangli Island's formations to move it above Green Lotus Island.

"Qingshan, after some time, take Chuanming and the others to the Chaos Continent! We've hired someone to set up a formation in Haoyang City; you can use it to open your sixth aperture when you go. Take these items with you." Wang Ruyan said, taking out a golden storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Qingshan.

The storage bracelet contained Immortal Slaying Cannons, Chaos Armor, and Chaos Beast crystal cores. Wang Qingshan could take these to the Chaos Continent to enhance the defense of the family's city. Wang Qingshan nodded and accepted the storage bracelet.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left, returning to Green Lotus Island.

The Li family's treasury contained a substantial amount of cultivation resources: thirty mid-grade immortal artifacts, over four million immortal essence stones, eight sets of second-tier immortal formations, over two thousand low-grade immortal artifacts, and a large quantity of immortal pills. There were twenty-seven second-tier immortal pills for breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage. The number of Chaos Beast crystal cores was also considerable: over thirty Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beast crystal cores, most of them five-colored, with a few six-colored, but no seven-colored ones. Two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons, twenty-one low-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons, one mid-grade Chaos Armor, and seventeen low-grade Chaos Armor pieces. Over a hundred Chaos Beast hides were found: ten Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beast hides, with the rest being True Immortal stage Chaos Beast hides. Over ten second-tier immortal talismans, substantial amounts of artifact refining materials, formation array materials, and immortal herbs were found. However, the most valuable item was the crafting blueprint for an immortal warship.

Immortal warships, also known as battleships, are conceptually somewhat similar to cross-realm spirit treasure ships, but the two are not on the same level. Immortal warships are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. They obtained the crafting blueprint for a Yellow-grade immortal warship. A Yellow-grade immortal warship has at least five high-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons and comes with its own space, capable of housing an entire clan without issue. It can be considered a spatial immortal artifact, but unlike ordinary spatial immortal artifacts, an immortal warship also includes functions for attack, defense, and flight. A Yellow-grade immortal warship is at least a high-grade immortal artifact. However, with its numerous functions, its crafting difficulty is even higher than that of other high-grade immortal artifacts; just collecting the materials is a huge challenge. The Li family had only collected some auxiliary materials, but none of the core ones. With an immortal warship in hand, if the Wang family were to provoke a formidable enemy they couldn't defeat, they could simply take the entire clan and flee. The crafting blueprint for the Yellow-grade immortal warship was obtained by a Golden Immortal of the Li family from the Qiankun Ruins, along with the Heavenly Soul Tome.

There's a cave on Cangli Island that produces Netherworld Immortal Water. This immortal water can be used to refine yin-attribute immortal pills, such as Netherworld Pills and Dark Moon Pellets, or to cultivate yin-attribute immortal herbs.

After eliminating Murong Zhengde and Murong Yurong, they obtained many items, including five mid-grade immortal artifacts. One of these was a defensive artifact that could also be repaired, making it suitable for clan members to use during their tribulations. The only drawback was the absence of any items of origin. Upon reflection, it made sense. Items of origin were extremely precious; the Bright Moon Alliance getting one was already incredibly lucky, so it was unlikely the Li family would also have one.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were already content. With these resources, the Wang family could cultivate multiple Golden Immortal cultivators. The Wang family now had no shortage of foundation or resources; what they lacked was time. Given enough time, the Wang family's strength would only grow. Currently, the Wang family had five Golden Immortal cultivators, with Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin stationed on the Chaos Continent to ensure the safety of Xuancheng.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were stationed on Green Lotus Island. Even if Yu Weiwei attacked, they wouldn't fear her. Without treasures or secret talismans to defend against soul attacks, a late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, if forced to endure one of their soul law-infused attacks, would perish. They always held back when fighting in front of others. The outside world had no idea of their true strength, so it was inevitable they would be underestimated. Such examples were not uncommon; An Shuo and Jiang Yuqing were also hiding their true capabilities and strength.

Wang Changsheng called over Wang Yongqian and Wang Qingcheng. He took out a green storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Yongqian, saying, "This batch of cultivation resources should be stored in the family treasury. If clan members cultivate to True Immortal Grand Completion, they can be given immortal pills to assist them in breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage." He had already told Ye Haitang and others that once their cultivation of laws reached minor completion, the difficulty of breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage would increase. However, with the multiple mid-grade Chaos Armors he had refined, along with immortal artifacts and formations, it wouldn't be a major issue.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yongqian replied.

Wang Changsheng gave a few instructions, then dismissed Wang Yongqian and Wang Qingcheng. He entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating.
