Chapter 4385: Three-Grade Taoist Elixir

In Qinglian City, on Qinglian Peak, Wang Ruyan and Wang Qiulin were sitting in a cyan stone pavilion, conversing.

Wang Qingling's voice came from outside: "Ninth Aunt! I heard you've emerged from seclusion."

"Qingling, come in and talk!"

Wang Qingling walked in, her face beaming with a smile, as if she had good news.

"Qiulin, you're here too." Wang Qingling greeted them with a smile and went to sit down.

"Ninth Aunt! I traded with a fellow cultivator for a Jade Aperture Stone!" Wang Qingling exclaimed excitedly, taking out a Jade Aperture Stone and handing it to Wang Ruyan.

"A Jade Aperture Stone!" A flicker of surprise crossed Wang Ruyan's eyes. The Wang family had been collecting Jade Aperture Stones for a long time without success; Master Miaode had given her one at his Grand Unity Celebration last time.

"Excellent. If I refine a Jade Aperture Immortal Talisman, I will definitely let you use it first to open your ninth aperture," Wang Ruyan promised. Due to the scarcity of Jade Aperture Stones, currently only Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan in the Wang family had opened their ninth apertures.

"Thank you, Ninth Aunt!" Wang Qingling was overjoyed, thanking her repeatedly. She had currently opened eight apertures and mastered eight types of laws of power.

Just as Wang Qiulin was about to say something, she took out a golden, shimmering Communication Mirror and cast a spell into it. Nangong Yunxin could be seen on the mirror's surface.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, our Old Ancestor asked me to deliver two items to you. Are you available now?" Nangong Yunxin asked.

"Deliver items!" Wang Qiulin was stunned. Nangong Yunxin was a core member of the Nangong Immortal Clan, so if Nangong Dezhi sent him to deliver items, they certainly wouldn't be ordinary.

"Yes, I am. Qiulin is on Qinglian Peak; Fellow Daoist Nangong, please come over!"

"Alright, Madam Wang, I'll be right there." Nangong Yunxin agreed.

"Didn't Senior Nangong already send a bottle of elixirs and five pure seven-colored crystal cores? Why more deliveries?" Wang Qiulin asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps Senior Nangong highly values you!" Wang Qiulin's ability to deduce the whereabouts of the Grand Unity Creation Pot this time meant she could play a greater role in the future.

Not long after, Nangong Yunxin arrived. After a few polite exchanges, Nangong Yunxin took out a golden jade box and a cyan jade slip, handing them to Wang Qiulin. He said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, this is a third-grade Dao Elixir containing the Law of Destiny, and the jade slip contains the cultivation insights of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal regarding the Law of Destiny. Our Old Ancestor hopes you will be able to comprehend the Law of Destiny."

Nangong Dezhi, by handing over the Grand Unity Creation Pot, gained free use of it to purify crystal cores (with the cost of materials provided by himself), and also acquired ten other items. He specifically requested a Dao Elixir containing the Law of Destiny for Wang Qiulin to consume, and even traded with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal for insights into cultivating the Law of Destiny. If Wang Qiulin were to master the Law of Destiny, her deduction and divination abilities would become even stronger.

Wang Ruyan, Wang Qiulin, and Wang Qingling were all deeply shocked. Wang Qingbai was currently unable to refine a third-grade Dao Elixir.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Nangong. I will accompany you to Tianfeng City to thank Senior Nangong in person," Wang Qiulin said.

"There's no need. The Old Ancestor has entered seclusion for cultivation. He asked me to tell you to thoroughly comprehend it, hoping that by our next meeting, you will have already mastered the Law of Destiny," Nangong Yunxin replied.

"If Senior Nangong emerges from seclusion, please inform me immediately. I would like to express my gratitude in person," Wang Qiulin said sincerely.

Nangong Yunxin nodded, chatted for a while, and then excused himself and departed.

"With this third-grade Dao Elixir and the Grand Luo Golden Immortal's insights into cultivating the Law of Destiny, Qiulin's chances of comprehending the Law of Destiny will significantly increase. Congratulations, Qiulin!" Wang Qingling congratulated Wang Qiulin.

Wang Ruyan also showed delight. If Wang Qiulin were to comprehend the Law of Destiny, it would also be a good thing for the Wang family.

"I will work hard!" Wang Qiulin nodded.

"Alright, you two go about your business! I need to refine Jade Aperture Immortal Talismans." Wang Qingling and Wang Qiulin agreed, stood up, and left. Wang Ruyan walked towards the nearby Qinglian Pavilion, intending to refine Jade Aperture Immortal Talismans.

In a certain azure sea region of the Profound Sound Sea, strong winds raged, and waves surged like tides, raising towering billows across the surface.

Han Rong stood high in the sky, her gaze fixed on the void, with a shimmering "Forbidden" character talisman affixed to her back. A handsome young man in black and a graceful young woman in a red dress stood not far away. The young man in black held a jade brush continuously radiating black light.

"You are not Fairy Cuckoo's helper," Han Rong said with a frown.

She had led a team to the Profound Sound Sea and discovered Fairy Cuckoo's whereabouts in the Profound Sound Market. However, Fairy Cuckoo rarely left her dwelling, seeming to intend a long stay in the market. If they simply waited, they might lose track of her one day.

There were no Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the Profound Sound Sea, but there were Grand Unity Golden Immortals stationed in the Profound Sound Market. Han Rong contacted Heavenly Net Immortal Lord for instructions, and he only had one command: "Bring back the 'Heavenly Aperture Immortal Scripture'."

Han Rong gathered four Grand Unity Golden Immortals and directly attacked Fairy Cuckoo. Just as they were about to succeed, two Grand Unity Golden Immortals suddenly appeared to block their path. Sun Hai and two others went to pursue Fairy Cuckoo, while Han Rong was responsible for dealing with these two Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Initially, Han Rong easily fought against two opponents. However, after Sun Hai and the other two left, the opponents revealed their true strength, and Han Rong was utterly powerless to resist.

The young man in black said nothing. He waved the black jade brush in his hand, causing the void to tremble and twist. One after another, enigmatic black runes appeared, spun, and flew directly towards Han Rong.

Han Rong was terrified out of her wits, her body radiating spiritual light, but to no avail. Countless enigmatic black runes attached themselves to Han Rong's body one after another. Han Rong's face contorted, revealing an expression of intense pain.

"Die!" With a soft command from the young man in black, Han Rong's body shriveled at a visible rate, turning into a desiccated corpse.

A Nascent Soul resembling Han Rong flew out of her body, and a colossal red-glowing pagoda descended from the sky, emitting a crimson glow that enveloped the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul split into a thousand, and a graceful female voice rang out: "Today is your day to die; do not resist any further." As these words fell, all the Nascent Souls' gazes became dull, and they were enveloped by the crimson glow and drawn into the colossal red pagoda.

"We succeeded! Husband, should we pursue Fairy Cuckoo?" the young woman in the red dress asked. They were none other than the Mystic Talisman Demon Lord and Mu Wanwan. As a precaution, they had deliberately used immortal talismans to alter their appearance and aura.

"No need. The Yama Palace will only dispel their suspicions once they obtain the 'Heavenly Aperture Immortal Scripture'. If all four of Han Rong's group died and they still didn't get the scripture, they would certainly send people to investigate, and who knows what they might uncover. Let's leave!" the Mystic Talisman Demon Lord said. His goal was to eliminate Han Rong, so that Murong Bing could remain safely in the Yama Palace and perhaps even have a chance to rise in rank.

He searched Han Rong's body for valuables, destroyed the corpse, and then departed from the place with Mu Wanwan.
