Chapter 4375

“The Taiyi Creation Flask?”

Wang Qiulin was slightly surprised. He had heard Wang Changsheng mention this treasure before. The Taiyi Creation Flask could purify chaos beast nuclei, up to nine-colored nuclei.

“Exactly. Are there any specific conditions that need to be met?” Nangong Dezhi asked.

A diviner needs to possess exceptional talent; simply having an ancient text isn't enough to cultivate a high-level diviner.

“The name and function of the treasure, and ideally, something related to it. For instance, if it’s an alchemy furnace, having pills refined by it, or its lid, or even a fragment, could allow for an attempt at divination. However, I cannot guarantee accuracy,” Wang Qiulin said, not daring to overpromise.

“Is there any way to increase the accuracy? For example, would immortal talismans or immortal formations be required?” Nangong Dezhi inquired.

“I know of a third-tier immortal formation that can assist and improve accuracy. However, it requires various rare materials to set up, and I am not skilled in formation arrays,” Wang Qiulin replied honestly.

“Tell Yuefei what materials are needed to set up that formation. She will fully cooperate with you. If you divine the whereabouts of the Taiyi Creation Flask, you will be handsomely rewarded. Before that, you will reside in Tianfeng City, and this matter must not be divulged,” Nangong Dezhi instructed.

“Yes, Senior Nangong!” Wang Qiulin agreed.

“Yunxin, Yuefei, arrange lodging for young friend Wang, host him well, and fulfill all his needs,” Nangong Dezhi ordered.

“Yes, Old Ancestor,” Nangong Yunxin and Nangong Yuefei agreed and withdrew with Wang Qiulin.

“Young friend Wang is proficient in divination arts, and we have purified nuclei from the Taiyi Creation Flask, so we should be able to deduce its location,” Nangong Yueshuo remarked.

“Let’s hope so! This treasure is crucial for our family’s future development,” Nangong Dezhi’s voice was grave.

“The Myriad Beasts Palace is also searching for this treasure. I hope we can find it before them,” Nangong Yuwei said, her face filled with anticipation.

The Myriad Beasts Palace and the Nangong Immortal Clan were rivals and had experienced several minor conflicts.

Nangong Dezhi nodded and asked, “Has Changqing not yet attempted to reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm?”

“He insists on cultivating an immortal physique first before making the breakthrough,” Nangong Yuwei explained.

Nangong Changqing had consumed a Sun-Moon Immortal Fruit and two third-tier immortal pills refined with eight-colored nuclei, significantly strengthening his physical body, but he had not yet cultivated an immortal physique.

Nangong Yuwei took out an immortal mirror shimmering with white light and cast a spell. Nangong Yunhua’s face appeared on the mirror’s surface.

“Yunhua, what’s wrong?” Nangong Yuwei asked, as Nangong Yunhua rarely contacted her proactively.

“The Barghut Tribe has dispatched many experts; they seem to be searching for something,” Nangong Yunhua said solemnly.

“Searching for something? How do you know?” Nangong Yuwei asked.

“I was out on a task with an eight-colored chaos beast when we encountered members of the Barghut Tribe. They had entered the Chahar Tribe’s territory, and a fierce clash ensued. We captured a seven-colored chaos beast from the Barghut Tribe. I only managed to ascertain that the Barghut Tribe is looking for something; I’m not sure what specifically,” Nangong Yunhua reported.

“Be extra careful. I will send people to keep an eye out,” Nangong Yuwei instructed.

“Alright, that’s all for now!” With that, Nangong Yunhua cut off the connection.

“The Barghut Tribe entering the Chahar Tribe’s territory to search for something – could they also be looking for the Taiyi Creation Flask?” Nangong Yueshuo said, frowning.

“It’s hard to say. Let’s send people to investigate first,” Nangong Yuwei suggested.

“Cooperate fully with young friend Wang and have him help divine the whereabouts of the Taiyi Creation Flask. This is currently our family’s most important task. The lead Yunhua provided is significant. Send people to pay attention. If there’s any news of the Taiyi Creation Flask, I will personally take action!” Nangong Dezhi stated gravely.

“Yes, Old Ancestor!” Nangong Yueshuo and Nangong Yuwei readily agreed.

Myriad Beasts City. The streets were bustling with pedestrians and vehicles, a scene of lively activity.

Inside a magnificent palace, three large silver characters spelled out “Myriad Beasts Hall” on its plaque.

A slender woman in a silver dress sat on the main seat. Her long dark hair cascaded down to her waist, her delicate eyebrows resembled distant mountains, and her eyes were as expressive as autumn waves, revealing charm beneath an heroic aura. This was Liu Qian, Deputy Palace Master of the Myriad Beasts Palace, with cultivation at the initial stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

A young man of medium build in a white robe was respectfully reporting to Liu Qian.

“What? The purified nuclei from the Taiyi Creation Flask were stolen?” Liu Qian’s expression showed displeasure.

“After extensive investigation, we discovered an internal spy, which led to the leak of information,” the white-robed young man said nervously.

This was Jiang Bin, head of the Myriad Beasts Palace’s Intelligence Hall.

“Where is the spy?” Liu Qian’s voice deepened.

“Before we even found him, he had already fled. Our investigation suggests he is likely a member of the Nangong Immortal Clan. Further investigation is ongoing to ascertain his identity and origins,” Jiang Bin said, still visibly nervous.

“Hmph, if he’s already fled, does his origin still matter? Focus all efforts on finding the Taiyi Creation Flask. Whoever finds this treasure will be rewarded with a high-grade immortal artifact, a Sun-Moon Immortal Fruit, and a third-grade Dao Pill. If it’s not found, all disciples involved will be penalized,” Liu Qian’s tone was icy.

The Taiyi Creation Flask had been refined with a mutated Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasure. Obtaining this treasure would greatly facilitate the Myriad Beasts Palace in cultivating its disciples and even in opening their apertures.

The Myriad Beasts Palace possessed a secret method for opening nine apertures. Opening the ninth aperture required pure nine-colored nuclei, but purifying these nuclei was exceedingly difficult. It consumed vast amounts of rare formation materials and took a long time to purify even a single nine-colored nucleus. Only core disciples of the Myriad Beasts Palace could use nine-colored nuclei to open the ninth aperture, and the success rate was not high.

Liu Qian herself had only opened eight apertures, mastering eight laws, and had attempted to open the ninth aperture twice, failing both times.

“Yes, Aunt Liu,” Jiang Bin agreed, feeling a wave of relief. Finding the Taiyi Creation Flask would allow him to atone for his mistakes; failure would bring serious trouble.

“Right, send someone to Jinxiao City and invite Immortal Tianji. She is a diviner at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and I hope she can divine the whereabouts of this treasure,” Liu Qian instructed.

“Yes, Aunt Liu,” Jiang Bin replied, bowed, and retreated.

“Nangong Immortal Clan! It’s you again, hmph. Repeatedly opposing our Myriad Beasts Palace,” Liu Qian muttered to herself, her face filled with killing intent.

The Myriad Beasts Palace and the Nangong Immortal Clan were old rivals, but both sides had maintained restraint, engaging only in minor skirmishes, with no Grand Luo Golden Immortals personally intervening. However, this time, with the Taiyi Creation Flask involved, that might change.

She took out an immortal mirror shimmering with golden light and cast a spell. The mirror surface blurred, and a scholarly-looking young man in green robes appeared.

“Disciple greets Aunt Liu. May I know what instructions Aunt Liu has?” the green-robed young man said respectfully.

“We are searching for the Taiyi Creation Flask, and the Nangong Immortal Clan may also be looking for it. You have been undercover for many years; this is the third time I’ve activated you. Pay attention to any news about this treasure. Notify me immediately if you find anything,” Liu Qian instructed.

“Yes, Aunt Liu,” the green-robed young man agreed respectfully.

Liu Qian gave a few more instructions before putting away the immortal mirror.
