Chapter 4400: Golden Pixiu Immortal Lord

"Madam Yue, rest assured," Wang Qiulin said solemnly, "since this is something my grandfather instructed, I will handle it diligently. Our Wang family will not go back on its word. I will carefully deduce the matter; whether this person can be found ultimately depends on your Myriad Immortal Alliance."

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Wang," Yue Wei said, her tone full of enticement. "Elder Jin repeatedly stressed this matter, so I have to be cautious. I mean no offense. As long as this person is found, whatever cultivation resources your family needs to collect in the future, our Myriad Immortal Alliance will fully assist, including high-level spirit aperture-opening secret techniques and pure crystal cores."

To be honest, there were many diviners at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and the Myriad Immortal Alliance alone knew five of them. Yue Wei seeking Wang Qiulin's help was largely related to the Nanggong Immortal Clan obtaining the Grand Unity Creation Cauldron. When she discussed this matter while negotiating business with high-ranking officials of the Myriad Beast Palace, they expressed quite a few complaints about the Nanggong Immortal Clan and explained the full story to Yue Wei. The Nanggong Immortal Clan had only received information and seven-colored crystal cores purified by the Grand Unity Creation Cauldron. Their ability to accurately locate the Grand Unity Creation Cauldron must be related to Wang Qiulin, as the Wang family and the Nanggong Immortal Clan are in-laws, so the Nanggong Immortal Clan had no reason to seek outsiders. Since Wang Qiulin could even deduce the whereabouts of the Grand Unity Creation Cauldron, deducing the whereabouts of Scholar Chunqiu would be even easier. The Wang family started relatively late, and high-level spirit aperture-opening secret techniques and pure crystal cores were urgently needed items for them.

Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng's expression grew excited, and he instructed, "Qiulin, go immediately and deduce. We'll wait for you here." The Wang family possessed secret techniques for opening ten spirit apertures and purifying crystal cores easily, so Wang Changsheng was merely putting on a show. Wang Qiulin acknowledged, stood up, and left.

"Madam Yue, Scholar Chunqiu hasn't escaped to the chaotic beast territory, has he?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"Not in the short term," Yue Wei explained. "We've dispatched a large number of experts to blockade parts of the border and offered a high reward for this person." Even so, there was still a high probability that Scholar Chunqiu would escape to the chaotic beast territory, which would make matters difficult.

"Madam Yue, how was he turned?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"Wealth sways hearts," Yue Wei explained. "The chaotic beasts offered him high-level spirit aperture-opening secret techniques and cultivation resources. Most importantly, his adversary was promoted and greatly favored by Elder Jin." Scholar Chunqiu's adversary was heavily favored by a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. Coupled with the chaotic beasts' inducements, and a chamber of commerce under his purview having collected an item of origin, he directly absconded with the item of origin and defected.

Wang Changsheng suddenly realized, saying, "It seems chaotic beasts are quite skilled at winning over people's hearts."

"That's nothing," Yue Wei said. "Everyone has a price, and chaotic beasts are no exception. As long as the price is right, chaotic beasts will also work for us. It's not as if there haven't been instances of chaotic beasts defecting to immortals." Chaotic beasts can turn immortals, and immortals can also turn chaotic beasts; it's just that the probability of chaotic beasts turning immortals is higher.

Yue Wei remembered something and said, "Oh right, I heard your Wang family held an auction and offered Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage puppet beasts in exchange. Fellow Daoist Wang's artifact-refining skills are getting better and better! You can even refine high-grade chaotic armor now, can't you?"

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "I can indeed refine high-grade chaotic armor now, but the success rate isn't high—perhaps one success out of six sets of materials."

"That's still very good," Yue Wei said, her face full of envy. "Our Myriad Immortal Alliance's third-tier immortal artifact masters can only refine one high-grade chaotic armor from seven sets of materials. High-grade chaotic armor is extremely difficult to refine. This is precisely why immortal armored armies at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage are a great weapon against chaotic beasts. Fellow Daoist Wang, if you practice more and improve your success rate, you will definitely be highly valued by the Nanggong Immortal Clan."

After chatting for about half an hour, Wang Qiulin returned. His face was slightly pale, looking as if his immortal elemental energy had been over-expended.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, how did it go? Do you have a result?" Yue Wei asked impatiently.

"He is most likely in Jinxiao City!" Wang Qiulin said. Scholar Chunqiu seemed to possess a treasure that concealed his destiny. Wang Qiulin used the Eight Trigrams Divination Array and the Nine Palace Disk, but gained nothing. It wasn't until he activated his Law of Destiny to divine that he finally got a result.

"Jinxiao City?" Yue Wei exclaimed in surprise, thinking, *Wang Qiulin can pinpoint the exact location? That's incredible!*

"The divination result indicates this," Wang Qiulin urged. "I can only say he is currently in Jinxiao City. Whether he will leave in the future, I don't know. You should send people to find him as soon as possible! Otherwise, if he leaves Jinxiao City, I'll have to push myself to deduce again."

Yue Wei nodded, took out a golden, shimmering immortal transmission mirror, and struck it with a magical incantation. On the mirror's surface appeared a majestic-faced elder in golden robes. This was Immortal Lord Jinqiu, a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal and the Vice Alliance Leader of the Myriad Immortal Alliance.

"Elder Jin," Yue Wei said, "Fellow Daoist Wang has deduced it. He's most likely in Jinxiao City! Fellow Daoist Wang is right here with me."

"Hand him the immortal transmission mirror," Immortal Lord Jinqiu instructed. "I have something to say to him."

Yue Wei handed the immortal transmission mirror to Wang Qiulin, whose expression immediately tensed.

"Young friend Wang, that traitor possesses a Golden Basket Pearl, a high-grade immortal artifact capable of concealing one's destiny. Are you certain he's in Jinxiao City?" Immortal Lord Jinqiu asked.

"No wonder this junior found the deduction especially difficult," Wang Qiulin replied, unwilling to make a definitive statement. "He's most likely in Jinxiao City, but I can only say he's there currently. As for whether he'll stay in Jinxiao City indefinitely, that's hard to say."

"That's acceptable. You've worked hard," Immortal Lord Jinqiu said kindly. "Once this person is found, I will have another generous reward for you. I might need your deductions again later, but for now, you should rest well."

"Yes, Senior Jin," Wang Qiulin agreed and handed the immortal transmission mirror back to Yue Wei.

The mirror's surface dimmed, and Yue Wei put away the immortal transmission mirror. After exchanging a few more words, Yue Wei took her leave.

"Qiulin, did you use the Law of Destiny for the deduction?" Wang Changsheng asked with a frown.

Wang Qiulin nodded and said, "The Myriad Immortal Alliance is very concerned about this matter. Your grandson thought that helping Madam Yue would make it easier to procure precious cultivation resources from the Myriad Immortal Alliance in the future." If not for the Myriad Immortal Alliance's considerable influence and its business dealings with the Wang family, Wang Qiulin would not have used the Law of Destiny for the deduction.

"Still, you should use it cautiously!" Wang Changsheng cautioned.

Wang Qiulin agreed. After a few more casual remarks, Wang Changsheng sent Wang Qiulin back to rest.

"Jinxiao City isn't small," Wang Ruyan said. "It won't be easy for Immortal Lord Jinqiu to find Scholar Chunqiu there."

"That's the Myriad Immortal Alliance's concern, not ours," Wang Changsheng said nonchalantly.

He took out his communication disk and contacted Wang Xinghai, inquiring about his cultivation progress. Wang Xinghai was already at the Grand Completion of Golden Immortal stage. He had spent considerable time honing his immortal elemental energy over the years and was preparing to enter seclusion to attempt breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"Good," Wang Changsheng advised. "You're well prepared, so there shouldn't be any major problems. To be on the safe side, spend more time refining your immortal elemental energy."

"Your grandson was thinking the same thing!" Wang Xinghai's voice was respectful.

"That's good. Cultivate with peace of mind then!" Wang Changsheng put away his communication disk.
