Chapter 4037: Li Canghai Presents a Treasure

Xuan Yu City, Chaos Continent.

The streets of Xuan Yu City were wide and clean, bustling with people, and filled with the constant calls of vendors. Shops lined both sides, with numerous cultivators entering and exiting.

After the Wang family took over Xuan Yu City, they transferred a large number of cultivators from the Heaven's Dawn Sea Region. After tens of thousands of years of proliferation, the city's cultivator population exceeded 200,000, including no fewer than thirty True Immortal cultivators.

By a vast lake spanning ten thousand mu, a cyan lotus platform shimmered with blue light in its center. On the platform, a cyan tea table and several stools were set up. Wang Qingshan, He Wang, Qi Shuting, Zhang Yilei, and a burly bald man sat around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting.

The bald man wore a string of black Dharma beads. He had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and an astonishing killing aura emanated from him.

Tian Shazi, an early-stage Golden Immortal, was a rogue cultivator by birth. He made his living by hunting Chaos Beasts. In his early years, he had received favors from the Qi family, and after advancing to the Golden Immortal stage, he became quite close to them.

‘I never expected Fellow Daoist Wang to not only be proficient in sword manipulation but also to have cultivated into a True Spirit,’ Tian Shazi said with a smile, his face full of envy.

‘Fellow Daoist Song’s physical body is also quite strong. In time, cultivating into a True Spirit should not be a problem.’

Wang Qingshan replied humbly.

‘I have already advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, so cultivating into a True Spirit is even more difficult,’ Tian Shazi continued. ‘The Nine Revolutions Glazed Pill has little effect on me now. If I could obtain a Seven-Star Golden Flame Pill, my chances of cultivating into a True Spirit would be much higher.’

‘I heard that the Seven-Star Golden Flame Pill is refined with the pure core of a mutated Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, making it quite difficult to acquire,’ Qi Shuting sighed.

‘That may be so, but where there’s a will, there’s a way,’ Tian Shazi said. ‘I recall that Heavenly Lord Cang Yue cultivated into a True Spirit only after advancing to the Golden Immortal stage. Heavenly Lord Cang Yue seems to be from the Heaven's Dawn Sea Region; you must know of him, right?’

Zhang Yilei nodded and said, ‘Of course we know. However, he hasn’t appeared for millions of years. It’s said that he offended the Murong family and was pursued by their Golden Immortal cultivators. There are also rumors that he went to other sea regions.’

‘Not showing up for millions of years doesn’t necessarily mean he’s dead,’ He Wang analyzed. ‘He might be traveling or trapped in a perilous place. However, if he was indeed pursued by the Murong family’s Golden Immortal cultivators, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive; he’s most likely dead.’

‘Did Heavenly Lord Cang Yue cultivate into a True Spirit by consuming the Seven-Star Golden Flame Pill?’ Wang Qingshan asked curiously.

‘I don’t know. Rumor has it that he entered the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures, and likely obtained many good things there,’ Qi Shuting said, his face full of envy. ‘If he truly died, I wonder who ended up with those items.’

‘Opportunity is hard to predict,’ Tian Shazi said. ‘Some people search everywhere for treasures and find nothing, while others cultivate in their cave dwellings and have treasures fall right at their doorstep. When luck strikes, there’s no stopping it.’

Wang Qingshan fully agreed. After chatting for an hour, Qi Shuting and the other three successively bade farewell and left Xuan Yu City.

Returning to his residence, Wang Qingshan approached a rock garden pond. One of the rockeries came to life, emitting a dazzling yellow light and transforming into the appearance of a stone man.

He took out a one-color core and handed it to the stone man, explaining that it was a pure crystal core. The stone man took the core, and a dazzling yellow light surged from its palm as the core rapidly fused into its body. It then transformed back into a massive stone, merging seamlessly with the other rockeries.

Wang Qingshan took out a cyan-glowing Immortal Transmission Mirror and cast a spell into it. Wang Qingfeng appeared on the mirror’s surface.

‘Seventh Brother, Li Canghai is here and says he has important matters to discuss with you,’ Wang Qingfeng said.

‘Bring him over! I’ll see him.’

Wang Qingfeng agreed and cut the connection. ‘Could he have obtained another Primordial Stone?’ Wang Qingshan wondered to himself.

In recent years, Li Canghai had frequently interacted with the Wang family, slaying Chaos Beasts and using their crystal cores to purchase cultivation resources from the Wang family.

Not long after, Wang Qingfeng arrived with Li Canghai. Both of them had cultivated to the True Immortal Great Perfection stage.

‘This junior greets Senior Wang,’ Li Canghai bowed respectfully.

‘I hear you have something to tell me. There are no outsiders here, so speak freely!’

‘May I ask, Senior Wang, have you ever heard of Heavenly Sound Master?’ Li Canghai asked politely.

‘Of course. He is a Golden Immortal cultivator who excels in sound-based attacks,’ Wang Qingshan asked curiously. ‘He once single-handedly eliminated a five-colored Chaos Beast at the Golden Immortal stage. However, he hasn’t appeared for millions of years. Do you have any news of him?’

The Dark Hall had collected intelligence on all the renowned immortals in the Chaos Continent for the family’s high-ranking members to review.

Li Canghai took out a blue book and handed it to Wang Qingshan, saying, ‘This is a musical score left behind by Heavenly Sound Master. In this junior’s hands, it is like a pearl covered in dust, so I offer it to Senior Wang.’

‘A musical score!’

Wang Qingshan’s face was filled with curiosity as he took the book and flipped through a few pages. He couldn’t understand it, as he had no knowledge of musical arts.

‘Seventh Brother, Yinyin is also in Xuan Yu City. Call her to take a look!’ Wang Qingfeng said.

Wang Yinyin had accompanied Wang Qingshan to the Chaos Continent and was currently in Xuan Yu City.

Wang Qingshan nodded, and Wang Qingfeng took out a communication disc to contact Wang Yinyin.

Not long after, Wang Yinyin arrived. She carefully examined the musical score and nodded, saying, ‘This musical score is excellent; the composer is highly proficient in the way of musical arts.’

Wang Qingshan nodded and dismissed Wang Yinyin.

‘Tell us what you desire; we will not mistreat you.’

Li Canghai pondered for a moment before cautiously saying, ‘This junior wishes for a Nine Wonders Profound Origin Pill. Of course, a single musical score is not enough, so I also offer this Golden Flame Grass that is over two million years old.’

He took out a golden jade box and handed it to Wang Qingshan. ‘Golden Flame Grass!’ Wang Qingshan exclaimed softly.

The Seven-Star Golden Flame Pill primarily uses five-million-year-old Golden Flame Grass as its main ingredient, refined with the pure core of a mutated Seven-Colored Chaos Beast. Li Canghai had unexpectedly produced Golden Flame Grass over two million years old.

After a brief consideration, Wang Qingshan took out a cyan jade box and handed it to Li Canghai. Li Canghai opened the jade box, and upon confirming it was the Nine Wonders Profound Origin Pill, he was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

‘Very well. If there’s nothing else, you may leave,’ Wang Qingshan instructed, dismissing Li Canghai.

‘Qingfeng, you have already cultivated to the True Immortal Great Perfection stage; you can consider attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal stage,’ Wang Qingshan advised. ‘Delegate miscellaneous tasks to others; there’s no need to handle everything personally.’

Xuan Yu City is vast, so Wang Qingfeng can attempt his Golden Immortal breakthrough within the city. Unlike Wang Qingling and the other four, he has only just grasped the rudiments of a law, so the power of his thunder tribulation won't be as strong, and it won't matter if others witness it.

Having mastered the artifact refining techniques passed down by Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingfeng could already refine low-grade Chaos Armor. If he could advance to the Golden Immortal stage, he would be able to play an even greater role.

Wang Qingfeng nodded and said, ‘I also have that intention.’

After a few more casual remarks, Wang Qingfeng left, returning to his residence to cultivate in seclusion and attempt his Golden Immortal breakthrough.

Wang Qingshan entered a secret chamber, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his energy for cultivation.

Rings of piercing sword cries echoed, as cyan flying swords materialized out of thin air, continuously circling him.
