Chapter 4245: Heavenly Mechanism Divine Crystal

"I hope so! If we had a large number of source items, our Nangong family's strength could increase significantly." Nangong Yueshuo's face showed a look of yearning.

Limited by the scarcity of source items, only a handful of immortals in the Nangong family had mastered Daoist techniques.

"A large number of source items?" Nangong Yuwei smiled indifferently and said, "It would be good enough to obtain even one source item. Our family now has over a hundred peak True Spirits, and our strength has recovered significantly. It would be even better if you could cultivate an immortal body."

At its peak, the Nangong Immortal Clan had over three hundred clansmen who had cultivated into peak True Spirits, most of whom were Golden Immortals. The last time the Nangong Immortal Clan proactively waged war and went all-out against the Chahar Tribe, they suffered heavy losses, with ninety percent of their peak True Spirits annihilated.

After years of recuperation, the Nangong Immortal Clan had recovered some of its vitality.

"I also want to cultivate an immortal body, but this step is too difficult. Both immortal elemental power and soul must be strong to a certain degree to have a higher chance of cultivating an immortal body. Our clan's soul cultivation technique, the 'Profound Soul Immortal Scripture,' can be cultivated up to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but unfortunately, we only have the first volume. Yun Xin has hope of cultivating an immortal body because he possesses a Profound Soul Physique, making his soul naturally stronger than cultivators of the same rank," Nangong Yueshuo said.

As any cultivator continues to cultivate after becoming an immortal, their immortal elemental power, physical body, and soul will all improve. Immortals whose three aspects are powerful to a certain degree find it easier to advance to major realms or cultivate an immortal body.

Nangong Yuwei nodded and said, "I hope that the next time we enter the Primeval Battlefield, we can obtain the second volume of the 'Profound Soul Immortal Scripture.'"

Wang Qingshan and Wang Qiulin strolled leisurely along the street, looking around.

"Daoist Wang, what a coincidence! Isn't Daoist Brother Wang with you?" A familiar male voice sounded.

Wang Qingshan looked up and saw Master Miaode and Ye Xuanji walking toward them; both were late-stage Golden Immortals.

"Ninth Uncle encountered a powerful enemy on the Myriad Immortal Continent, suffered severe injuries, and is currently in seclusion recuperating," Wang Qingshan said.

"Is it serious? If you need healing elixirs, please don't hesitate to ask," Ye Xuanji said earnestly.

Given the Ye family's strength, obtaining some effective second-tier immortal elixirs for healing was not difficult.

"There's no major issue, but Ninth Uncle still needs a period of rest and recuperation," Wang Qingshan explained.

"That's good. Since even Daoist Brother Wang was severely injured, it seems the enemy who hurt him is very powerful," Master Miaode said solemnly.

He had witnessed Wang Changsheng's strength, so for someone to be able to gravely injure him, that person must indeed be exceptionally powerful.

"Many experts have entered the Myriad Immortal Continent, and there are quite a few Golden Immortal cultivators who have cultivated into peak True Spirits," Wang Qingshan said. He then seemed to recall something and asked, "You've come for the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit and the second-grade Dao Elixirs, haven't you?"

"Exactly. By the way, there's a gathering tomorrow evening at You Hour, with many Golden Immortal cultivators attending. The location is Cloud Moon Garden," Ye Xuanji said.

"Alright, we'll definitely go if we have time," Wang Qingshan agreed.

After a brief chat, they parted ways.

Wang Qingshan and Wang Qiulin continued to wander the streets, looking around.

More than half an hour later, Wang Qingshan and Wang Qiulin arrived at a vast bluestone square with numerous small stalls. Most of the stall owners were Golden Immortal cultivators, and they even spotted a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

They walked around, hoping to find something good.

The items on the stalls were diverse, including immortal herbs, immortal ores, immortal wood, and many other types, a dazzling array.

Wang Qingshan and Wang Qiulin had visited many large markets and were quite knowledgeable, but there were still many items on the stalls they didn't recognize. They had to inquire with the stall owners to learn more, which was quite an eye-opener.

Wang Qiulin suddenly quickened his pace and approached a small stall. The stall owner was a fair-faced old man in a golden robe, whose aura was as vast as the sea, revealing him to be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

The golden-robed elder reeked of alcohol and had a golden gourd tied to his waist.

The stall displayed numerous items: immortal herbs, immortal elixirs, immortal wood, and refining materials.

Wang Qiulin's gaze fell upon a silvery-white crystal. The crystal's surface had some spiral-shaped indentations, and it felt light as he picked it up.

"Heavenly Secret Divine Crystal!" Wang Qiulin felt a surge of secret delight. This material could be used to refine a Heavenly Secret Disk, for use with divination techniques.

"Senior, how much is this Heavenly Secret Divine Crystal?" Wang Qiulin asked politely.

"Ten crystal cores of Golden Immortal-stage Seven-Colored Chaos Beasts, or exchange it for immortal wine," the golden-robed elder said.

"Ten?" Wang Qiulin frowned; that was too many.

Wang Qingshan took out ten seven-colored crystal cores and handed them to the golden-robed elder.

The golden-robed elder looked Wang Qingshan up and down, then praised, "Your physical body cultivation is impressive. The Heavenly Secret Divine Crystal is yours."

"Thank you, Senior," Wang Qingshan said gratefully, then put away the Heavenly Secret Divine Crystal and handed it to Wang Qiulin.

Once they returned to Azure Lotus City, they would give it to Wang Jiye to refine into a Heavenly Secret Disk.

Wang Qiulin's face showed delight; with this treasure in hand, his divination and deductions would be much easier.

They wandered around the square, purchasing some cultivation resources. Wang Qingshan was generous, bringing out many crystal cores from Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts—of course, these were unpurified cores, so they didn't attract undue attention.

Three hours later, they left the bluestone square and arrived at a quiet street. This street had few pedestrians and many buildings, indicating a residential area.

They reached the entrance of a small courtyard with blue tiles, where a plaque read "Azure Lotus Courtyard." This was a small courtyard rented by the Cao family for the Wang family's cultivators to rest, and the Cao family lived next door.

Wang Qiulin took out a green token and deactivated the restriction. Wang Qingshan pushed the door open and entered. Inside the courtyard were a five-story blue pavilion and a blue stone pavilion.

"Let's rest for a bit. We'll attend the gathering tonight, hoping to exchange for some good items," Wang Qingshan said, then walked toward the blue pavilion.

He entered a guest room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and meditated to regulate his breath.

Next to the Azure Lotus Courtyard, in a sprawling estate, Cao Yuanxing and a graceful young woman in a golden dress sat in a stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

"It seems my luck is good. I just arrived on the Chaos Continent and already encountered a large auction hosted by the Nangong Immortal Clan," the young woman in the golden dress said with a smile.

This was Cang Yao, an early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal and a newly ascended Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Ephemeral Tribe.

With the addition of a new Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the Ephemeral Tribe's strength had somewhat recovered.

"Indeed! There are many good items at this auction. The Nangong Immortal Clan has even brought out a top-grade immortal artifact," Cao Yuanxing said with a smile.

"There's only one top-grade immortal artifact, so I don't have high hopes for that. I just hope to bid for a few more Liangyi Golden Amber Elixirs! If I could secure a few second-grade Dao Elixirs, that would be even better," Cang Yao said, a look of yearning on her face.

Three members of the Ephemeral Tribe attempted to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but only Cang Yao succeeded. The other two failed to open all one hundred and eight immortal apertures. They could continue attempting to reach Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with the aid of Liangyi Golden Amber Elixirs and Grand Unity Immortal Fruits.
