Chapter 4159: Prosperous and Thriving (No More for Today)

On Green Lotus Island, in a quiet manor, Wang Yongqian and Wang Qingling sat in a green stone pavilion, conversing.

The Wang family now boasts over fifty Golden Immortal cultivators and thousands of True Immortal cultivators. They control more than 200,000 islands in the Sky Morning Sea Domain, and their power continues to grow.

Wang Qingling has reached the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm. While core family members like Wang Changsheng are in the Primal Chaos Continent, she remains on Green Lotus Island to ensure the family's safety, with everyone fulfilling their respective duties.

Wang Qingxiao has not yet emerged from his cultivation retreat.

"So much has happened while I was in seclusion," Wang Qingling said. "Fortunately, Yingjie has cultivated into a peak true spirit and can handle things independently."

She had only recently emerged from seclusion and was unaware of external events, so she called Wang Yongqian to inquire about the situation. "Indeed!" Wang Yongqian replied. "Even the patriarchs are in secluded cultivation. For now, Yixin is managing the miscellaneous affairs."

Wang Yixin has advanced to the Golden Immortal stage and is responsible for managing the family's administrative tasks in the Primal Chaos Continent.

As the family flourishes, core members like Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Qingfeng can focus on their cultivation, entrusting administrative duties to other family members.

Wang Qingling looked up as a streak of light flew over, revealing Wang Yingjie. He had recently emerged from seclusion, having reached the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm. The Wang family currently possesses eight Profound Cities and seventy-two Yellow Cities, showing good development. Occasionally, chaos beasts appear near Yellow Cities but rarely roam near Profound Cities. Currently, the Hulan Tribe is relatively quiet, not dispatching Golden Immortal chaos beasts to harass immortals, only sending True Immortal chaos beasts to operate near Yellow Cities. The immortals are recuperating and regaining their strength.

Wang Yingjie had not returned to Green Lotus Island for a long time and made a special trip back. He had intended to return with Liu Hongxue, but unfortunately, she had just entered secluded cultivation, so he came alone.

"Yingjie, why are you alone?" Wang Qingling asked. "Did something happen? Come down and talk."

Wang Yingjie flew down, smiling as he said, "Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to come back and see."

"Have Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt emerged from seclusion?" Wang Qingling asked.

"The patriarchs are still in seclusion, and Ancestor Qingshan and the others are also cultivating in seclusion," Wang Yingjie truthfully replied.

With no chaos beast tide erupting, it was natural for the Wang family's high-ranking members to enter secluded cultivation to enhance their strength. Chen Yueying and others also began their retreats.

He took out a golden jade box and handed it to Wang Qingling, saying, "This is a Blood Phoenix Butterfly egg. Huayue obtained it in exchange from a fellow cultivator. You've been collecting rare insects ranked highly on the Immortal Insect List, and the Blood Phoenix Butterfly is quite excellent."

"A Blood Phoenix Butterfly!" Wang Qingling exclaimed in surprise.

The Blood Phoenix Butterfly boasts incredible speed, ranking 108th on the Immortal Insect List. If a True Immortal stage Blood Phoenix Butterfly masters the Law of Blood, it becomes a powerful weapon against enemies with strong physical bodies.

Wang Qingling beamed with joy and accepted the insect egg.

All immortal insects on the Immortal Insect List are formidable; the higher the ranking, the more potent their divine abilities.

Wang Qingling, who practices the Four Divine Arts, still needs a spirit beast—or a spirit insect would also suffice. She currently has Wang Meng, Wang Que, and Wang Qingxiao. The Blood Phoenix Butterfly's high ranking made her very satisfied.

"Thank you, Yingjie," Wang Qingling said with a smile.

"Without you, I wouldn't be here," Wang Yingjie replied. "Besides, with the family's continued prosperity, Huayue can interact with more powerful Golden Immortal cultivators and exchange cultivation resources."

In the cultivation world, strength commands respect. The stronger one is, the higher the circles one can enter and the more powerful fellow cultivators and seniors one can meet. "Ancestor Yingjie, will you be staying on Green Lotus Island for a while?" Wang Yongqian asked.

"Not really," Wang Yingjie replied. "I just came back to visit and won't stay too long. I need to return to the Primal Chaos Continent; there might be a beast tide outbreak there. Is there anything you need me to do?"

"We've struck a deal with the Shangguan family from the Skyfire Sea Domain," Wang Yongqian said. "We need to transport two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows to them. It's quite important, and Moxin happens to be away, so we need a strong family member to escort them."

"Why are we selling two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows to the Shangguan family?" Wang Yingjie asked, puzzled. "Are they exchanging them for Primal Chaos Stones?"

Wang Yongqian nodded. "Precisely. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sold them two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows."

The Wang family now conducts business with several factions, occasionally selling strategic resources such as Immortal Slaying Arrows. These arrows are challenging to refine, and even powers like the Cao, Shangguan, and Ye families find them difficult to produce, so they trade Primal Chaos Stones for them.

Of course, the Wang family maintains a close relationship with the Cao family and would not readily sell mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows. The Shangguan family had requested them many times, and the Wang family only agreed to sell two mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows out of necessity.

Wang Qingfeng, Wang Zongyun, Wang Jiye, Su Hongshang, Wang Yulan, Wang Rumeng, and others have successively advanced to the Golden Immortal stage and are now attempting to refine mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows. While their success rate is much lower than Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's, they can still make a modest profit, which is why the Wang family sells mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows externally.

"I don't have anything pressing anyway," Wang Yingjie offered. "I'll lead the escort trip."

"That would be a great help," Wang Yongqian said with a smile. "There's no rush for this matter; you can rest well first and depart after a while."

"The Shangguan family isn't a minor force, so it's better to depart early!" Wang Yingjie stated. "I'll leave tomorrow."

Wang Yongqian nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yingjie departed. He visited his descendants, selected a few promising talents, guided them in their cultivation, provided them with some immortal cultivation resources, and encouraged them to practice diligently.

Early the next morning, Wang Yingjie departed Green Lotus Island with the goods provided by Wang Yongqian.

In a quiet manor within Crimson Swallow Market, Murong Yunfeng sat in a green stone pavilion, listening to Murong Youming's report.

Murong Youming, who had advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, was primarily responsible for investigating the Wang family's high-ranking members and monitoring their movements.

"True Monarch Five Elements left the Primal Chaos Continent alone and encountered other Golden Immortal cultivators on his way back, likely heading towards the Sky Morning Sea Domain," Murong Youming reported. "Our informant within the Wang family reported that True Monarch Five Elements briefly guided some younger descendants before quickly departing. He encountered other Golden Immortal cultivators en route."

As the Wang family continues to grow and flourish, its high-ranking members receive considerable attention. Unless they intentionally alter their appearance, they are easily recognized, especially in the Sky Morning Sea Domain.

"He only stayed for a day and then left? How strange," Murong Yunfeng mused.

"Should we send someone to intercept and kill him?" Murong Yunfeng suggested. "He dares to travel alone."

They were unaware that Wang Yingjie had cultivated into a peak true spirit. Even within the Wang family, few knew this, and outsiders only knew that Wang Yingjie was proficient in Five-Element divine abilities and had mastered the Law of Five Elements.

"If he dares to travel alone, he must possess considerable capability. Don't do such foolish things. We are not in a suitable position to go to war with the Wang family right now. Your informant has already advanced to the True Immortal stage; you can help him rise in rank so he can access more confidential information."
