Chapter 4099

"What a coincidence, Fellow Daoist Taishi!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile. He hadn't expected to meet Taishi Qi here, which reminded him of the two Golden Immortal cultivators who had mastered the Laws. He wondered if he would run into them again and knew he needed to proceed cautiously.

Taishi Qi was setting up a stall, displaying items like the corpses of Seven-Colored Chaos Beasts, immortal wood, ores, and immortal medicines for material exchange. "Fellow Daoist Taishi, how much is this Seven-Colored Chaos Beast corpse?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"I'm looking to exchange it for materials of equal value, with refining materials preferred," Taishi Qi replied.

"I'd like to trade for the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast corpse." Wang Changsheng took out a green storage bracelet and handed it to Taishi Qi. The bracelet contained some Profound Blue Cold Jade, not a large quantity, but more than enough to exchange for a Seven-Colored Chaos Beast corpse.

Taishi Qi swept his divine sense over it, nodded in satisfaction, and agreed to the exchange.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left to continue browsing.

They wandered around for a while, purchasing some cultivation resources. They then left the Bluestone Plaza, rented a secluded courtyard, and settled in. A three-story golden pavilion stood nearby, with the three golden characters "Chiyan Pavilion" written on its plaque.

Inside the pavilion, Murong Yilong and Du Yan were seated in the main positions, while Murong Yilei sat to the side, speaking.

"I hope we can bid successfully for a Nine-Colored Pill this time! The Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit will be difficult. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals will be tempted, and it will be hard for us to compete with them," Du Yan said.

"If we can't compete, then we can't. Obtaining a Nine-Colored Pill would still be good. It's a pity I haven't been able to cultivate the Laws to mastery; I've wasted a lot of time out here for so long," Murong Yilei sighed.

He was over nine million years old, but his Law Tree had only grown to seventy-nine zhang. No matter how many immortal pills or other immortal medicines he consumed, their effect was minimal.

"It's inherently difficult for Golden Immortal cultivators to cultivate the Laws to mastery. I'm the same as you. I thought this trip to the Nine-Star Immortal Domain would allow me to master the Laws, but even after millions of years of travel, I'm still at minor mastery. No wonder Golden Immortals who master the Laws are considered prodigies; the difficulty is simply too high. Fortunately, my husband has achieved mastery," Du Yan said with a proud smile.

She was also over nine million years old, and her Law Tree had similarly grown to seventy-nine zhang, struggling to grow taller.

They had traveled for many years and knew many Golden Immortal cultivators. Many had comprehended Laws for millions of years, yet their Law Trees remained stuck at seventy-nineteen zhang. Golden Immortal cultivators who achieved mastery of the Laws were extremely rare.

The distance from seventy-nine to eighty was merely a single step, yet this very step had trapped countless Golden Immortal cultivators.

Many Golden Immortal cultivators exhausted their lifespans, yet their Law Trees remained seventy-nine zhang tall. Therefore, many Golden Immortal cultivators focused their time on cultivation, aiming to improve their cultivation as much as possible so they could then combine it with their minor mastery of Laws to face enemies.

"Our clan doesn't rely solely on me. If you can master the Laws or cultivate into peak True Spirits, you can significantly enhance our clan's strength," Murong Yilong said sternly.

He was over nine million years old and had only recently achieved mastery of the Laws, which was already remarkable. Most Golden Immortals couldn't accomplish this.

Murong Yilei nodded and said, "I hope we can bid successfully for the Nine-Colored Pill and the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit! Without a Nine-Colored Pill, we won't live much longer before our Dao perishes."

"So many years have passed, and I wonder how the clan is doing," Du Yan said.

"With Zhengxian, Tianyan, Tianbao, and Tianya there, there won't be any major catastrophe. Perhaps by the time we return, our Murong clan will have already unified the Heaven's Dawn Sea Region," Murong Yilong said, his face full of pride.

"Even if we haven't unified the Heaven's Dawn Sea Region, what force would dare to oppose us? I heard there will be mid-grade Chaos Armor at this auction. We should try to bid on as many pieces as possible to form an Immortal Armored Army of Golden Immortals," Murong Yilei suggested.

"I wonder if there will be any enlightenment treasures. If we could acquire one, it might help you two cultivate your Laws to mastery," Murong Yilong said, his face filled with longing.

In a secluded courtyard with blue tiles, there was a blue stone pavilion and a three-story blue pavilion. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were seated in the blue stone pavilion, conversing.

"To be safe, let's change our appearances. Those two might recognize my Dao technique, and it would be troublesome to run into them," Wang Changsheng said. Many Golden Immortal cultivators had come to this auction, even a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and it would be a significant hassle if others knew he mastered a Dao technique.

"Grand Unity Golden Immortals are here; it won't be easy for us to bid on the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit!" Wang Ruyan said. Given the preciousness of the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit, it would indeed be difficult for them to acquire one.

Wang Changsheng frowned. Competing with Grand Unity Golden Immortals was indeed very difficult. He could offer pure crystal cores, but that would bring significant trouble. "One who often stands by the river is bound to get their shoes wet eventually." He didn't want to take that risk; with their current strength, being targeted by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would be certain death.

"While the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit is precious, it is still an item that can be valued. As long as you have something even more precious, you can still acquire it." A familiar male voice emanated from Wang Changsheng's body; it was Qing Xuan. Qing Xuan had consumed a damaged Primordial Spirit Treasure and was temporarily clear-headed.

"That's true, but it's very difficult to trade for the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit. Besides pure Chaos Beast crystal cores, I don't have anything more valuable to exchange for it," Wang Changsheng said.

"Where there's a will, there's a way. The auction hasn't started yet, so there's still a chance. If all else fails, you'll just have to trade with pure crystal cores," Qing Xuan said.

"I hope your words ring true!" Wang Changsheng nodded. He took out a pale blue Immortal Transmission Mirror, imbued it with a spell, and Ximen Zhi's face appeared on its surface.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, where are you?" Ximen Zhi asked with a smile.

"We're handling some matters. What's up, Fellow Daoist Ximen?" Wang Changsheng replied.

"Then I won't disturb you. Contact us after you're done," Ximen Zhi said, tactfully ending the communication.

It wasn't that Wang Changsheng didn't want to interact with Ximen Zhi. They needed to change their appearances, and getting too close to Ximen Zhi again would be troublesome if they were recognized.

"Fellow Daoist Ximen is quite warm-hearted. They are also here for the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit. They parted ways with us earlier, and I don't know where they went. Could they have obtained a Primordial Spirit Treasure?" Wang Ruyan speculated.

Ximen Zhi had previously asked Grand Unity Golden Immortals about refining Primordial Spirit Treasures or Immortal Artifacts into one's body to enhance oneself. "Certainly not. If he had, I would have noticed long ago, and it's useless to keep it in a storage bracelet," Qing Xuan said.

"Perhaps he obtained a secret technique to refine Primordial Spirit Treasures or Immortal Artifacts into his body! If Senior Xiao hadn't enlightened him, he might have taken a detour." Wang Changsheng said. This outing had been quite fruitful; two Grand Unity Golden Immortals had answered questions that had troubled him for years and pointed out his future cultivation direction. He now understood why all immortals desired to cultivate into True Spirits, and this was also why Grand Unity Golden Immortals had come to attend this auction.
