Chapter 4349: Xuanxuzi

Ye Xuanji sensed something. She looked Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan up and down, surprised, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, have you advanced to the mid-stage?"

Immortal Liu Yun was still in the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage later than Immortal Liu Yun, but they had since caught up and surpassed her.

Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and explained, "It's all thanks to the guidance of Dao Ancestor Kunlun."

Ye Xuanji's face was full of envy. She naturally guessed that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's rapid advancement wasn't solely due to Dao Ancestor Kunlun's guidance; Dao Ancestor Kunlun must have given them immortal pills. Given Dao Ancestor Kunlun's status and power, bestowing some third-tier immortal pills upon the Azure Lotus Couple was nothing.

"Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang are truly fortunate," a loud male voice rang out. "Not everyone can meet Dao Ancestor Kunlun, let alone receive his guidance."

As soon as the voice faded, a figure flashed, and a tall Daoist appeared before them. The Daoist wore a green Daoist robe. He had a square face, large eyes, and a bright, piercing gaze, exuding an aura of natural authority. He wore a lotus crown, and his aura was as vast as the sea.

"May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?" Wang Changsheng asked politely. There were many extraordinary individuals in the Immortal Realm, and he didn't consider himself superior just because he had mastered the Law of Soul.

"This humble Daoist is Xuanxuzi. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, and Immortal Ye," the green-robed Daoist introduced himself.

"So you are Xuanxuzi. I've heard much about your esteemed name," Wang Changsheng said, bowing his clasped hands with a solemn expression. Xuanxuzi was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal renowned for many years, having once single-handedly slain a seven-colored Chaos Beast of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. He had mastered the Law of Destruction and the Law of Creation, making him quite famous.

"Fellow Daoist Wang overpraises me," Xuanxuzi said with a serious expression. "If we speak of fame, this humble Daoist cannot compare to you. Your reputation has already reached Joyful City." The Immortal Realm was vast, and many Grand Unity Golden Immortals had mastered Supreme Laws, but few Grand Unity Golden Immortals had been summoned by a Dao Ancestor.

"It has reached Joyful City?" Wang Changsheng asked in surprise.

"Of course," Xuanxuzi said with a hint of envy in his tone. "A family with two Supreme Beings, and even summoned by a Dao Ancestor—it's hard not to attract attention."

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere to chat," Wang Ruyan suggested. Xuanxuzi and Ye Xuanji did not object. The four of them went to a teahouse and requested a private room.

"I've long heard of Joyful City's renown, Fellow Daoist Shen. Could you tell me a bit about the situation there?" Ye Xuanji asked politely.

Xuanxuzi nodded and briefly introduced the situation in Joyful City, mainly focusing on its interesting anecdotes and oddities.

"The Black and White Twin Fiends! The Law of Soul!" Wang Changsheng muttered, slightly startled. Back then, in order to find Daoist Moyun, they intercepted cultivators from the Joyful Union Palace and then spread false information, which lured out Daoist Moyun. They hadn't expected that busybodies would give them the title of the Black and White Twin Fiends.

"Indeed!" Xuanxuzi said meaningfully. "They also master the Law of Soul, and their divine abilities are extraordinary. In a way, they are quite similar to Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang." Both the Black and White Twin Fiends and the Azure Lotus Couple consisted of a male and a female, and both pairs had mastered the Law of Soul, indicating some overlap.

"The Black and White Twin Fiends. Fellow Daoist Shen, have you seen them? Do you have their portraits?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

Xuanxuzi took out two portraits and handed them to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng's gaze swept over them, and he frowned. The portraits indeed depicted the false appearances he had once used. He hadn't expected to be associated with the Black and White Twin Fiends.

"They're different from Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang," Ye Xuanji said dismissively. "They're probably from somewhere else. The Immortal Realm is so vast, and they aren't the only ones who master the Law of Soul."

"That's true," Xuanxuzi said with a laugh. "Both Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang have mastered the Law of Soul, and they also have. Both pairs consist of a male and a female, so some people say the Black and White Twin Fiends *are* Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang."

"People can say what they want; their mouths are their own," Wang Changsheng said indifferently.

"Hehe, even if the Black and White Twin Fiends are Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang, it's nothing to be concerned about," Xuanxuzi chuckled. "In the Immortal Realm, strength reigns supreme. As long as Grand Unity Golden Immortals don't intervene, few Grand Unity Golden Immortals can defeat Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang."

Wang Changsheng felt that Xuanxuzi's words held a deeper meaning, but since Xuanxuzi didn't elaborate, he didn't press the matter.

"Fellow Daoist Shen hasn't appeared for many years. There were rumors outside that something had happened to you, but it seems they were just rumors," Ye Xuanji redirected the conversation.

"This humble Daoist did encounter some trouble, which I only resolved recently," Xuanxuzi explained. His tone shifted as he continued, "I heard that Master Miaode is holding a Grand Unity Celebration, and many fellow Daoists are attending, so I came to join the fun. I heard that Fellow Daoist Wang is skilled in artifact refinement. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wang can refine high-grade Chaos Armor?"

"Not at the moment," Wang Changsheng denied. "High-grade Chaos Armor is far more difficult to refine than mid-grade Chaos Armor."

"This humble Daoist has acquired some materials and would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help refine a piece of high-grade Chaos Armor. If the refinement fails, the cost is mine," Xuanxuzi said via spiritual communication to Wang Changsheng. He then took out a green storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's divine sense swept over it, and a flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes. The materials in the storage bracelet were enough to refine three pieces of high-grade Chaos Armor. Xuanxuzi had actually managed to acquire so many Primordial Stones.

"This is the deposit," Xuanxuzi said, taking out an exquisite green jade box and handing it to Wang Changsheng. "After the refinement is successful, I will have a generous reward."

Wang Changsheng opened the lid, took a quick glance, and then closed it, nodding. "I'll give it a try!" he said.

Ye Xuanji was very curious about what was inside the box, but she didn't press the matter.

"Then I shall entrust this to Fellow Daoist Wang," Xuanxuzi said gratefully. He picked up his teacup and clinked it against Wang Changsheng's.

They chatted leisurely, mostly about interesting anecdotes and oddities of the cultivation world.

"Coincidentally," Xuanxuzi remarked, "Immortal Yang of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace is also holding a Grand Unity Celebration. If it weren't for seeking Fellow Daoist Wang's help, I would have gone to Ten Thousand Beasts City. I heard that Ten Thousand Beasts City is hosting a large-scale auction, offering the Myriad Spirit Pill for sale." Xuanxuzi's face showed a look of longing.

"The Myriad Spirit Pill? I heard this pill is very helpful for immortals cultivating to achieve an immortal physique," Ye Xuanji said.

"Indeed," Xuanxuzi confirmed. "The last time the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace offered a Myriad Spirit Pill for auction was millions of years ago. However, compared to the Sun and Moon Immortal Fruit, the Myriad Spirit Pill is still somewhat inferior."

"That's true," Wang Changsheng said. "The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect also has similar third-tier immortal pills. I wonder if we'll see any this time." He already possessed the Sun and Moon Immortal Fruit and the Blood Infant Jade Apricot Fruit. If he could acquire another item to assist in cultivating an immortal physique, his chances of achieving one would be even greater.

After chatting for over half an hour, Xuanxuzi took his leave, and Ye Xuanji also departed. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan then strolled through the streets.

As dusk fell, they returned to Azure Lotus Garden. No sooner had they returned to Azure Lotus Garden than Wang Qiulin immediately came over.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I've collected two portraits that I'm sure you'll find interesting," Wang Qiulin said, taking out two portraits and handing them to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's gazes swept over them, and they were stunned.

"Uncle Mingren!" Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exclaimed in unison.
