In the Wild Immortal Realm, within the Celestial Night Sea Region.
Celestial Night Market City was bustling with people and vehicles.
Inside a private chamber at Azure Glaze Pavilion, the Myriad Spirits Map hung on the wall. After a dazzling blue light shone, Wang Changsheng emerged from within the map.
They had been traveling for hundreds of thousands of years, spending most of their time in Celestial Night Market City within the Celestial Night Sea Region. Besides collecting cultivation resources, they had also befriended many Grand Unity Golden Immortals, exchanged cultivation insights, and sparred with them.
His cultivation bottleneck showed no signs of loosening, which was within his expectations. If the Grand Unity Golden Immortal bottleneck were so easy to overcome, there wouldn't be so many Grand Unity Golden Immortals stuck at this stage for millions of years.
Wang Changsheng dispatched Wang Tunxian, Wang Lin, Wang Mengli, and others, sending them to various large market cities throughout the Celestial Night Sea Region to gather intelligence and collect cultivation resources.
He took out a blue glowing communication disc, injected a magical incantation into it, and a clear male voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Song, there's a gathering this evening. Grand Unity Golden Immortals from Haotian Palace will also be attending. If you and Madam Song are free, please make sure to come."
"Grand Unity Golden Immortals from Haotian Palace will be there too? That's quite rare. Why are they coming?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.
"They're here to attend the grand birthday celebration of the Qin Family Ancestor and offer their congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin," the man explained.
"I see. Very well, we'll be there on time," Wang Changsheng agreed and put away the communication disc.
"Go ahead, don't worry. They won't sense the presence of Qin Xin's nascent soul," Qing Xuan's voice rang out.
"Even if they are Qin Xin's relatives and control the Law of Karma, they won't be able to sense it?" Wang Changsheng asked.
"Ordinary immortal artifacts probably couldn't shield it, but I'm no ordinary immortal artifact." Qing Xuan's voice was full of pride.
Wang Changsheng nodded, changed his appearance, and walked out. Wang Ruyan was refining a third-tier immortal talisman, so Wang Changsheng didn't disturb her.
He left Azure Glaze Pavilion and strolled along the street.
They had attended an auction hosted by the Myriad Gourd Merchant Alliance. Regrettably, there weren't many items that interested them; the large-scale auctions held by the Wang family were even grander than this one.
As his cultivation improved and his social circle expanded, Wang Changsheng's discernment also increased. Only exceptionally rare materials could catch his eye.
As he passed a fork in the road, a graceful young woman in a white dress and a tall young woman in a green dress walked towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist Xu mentioned a gathering tonight. Have you been informed?" the young woman in white smiled and asked.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Fairy Zhao, you'll be attending too, right?"
The young woman in white was named Zhao Yuanyuan, and the young woman in green was Zhao Yingying. They were sisters, and both had mastered Supreme Laws.
On their way to the Celestial Night Sea Region, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan encountered Zhao Yingying attempting to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. The four exchanged glances, and then Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Yingying departed.
More than two hundred thousand years after Wang Changsheng settled in Celestial Night Market City, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Yingying also arrived there to attend the large-scale auction hosted by the Myriad Gourd Merchant Alliance, and met Wang Changsheng at a gathering. By this time, Wang Changsheng had already gained a modest reputation in Celestial Night Market City thanks to his artifact refining skills.
Zhao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Of course. We heard that Grand Unity Golden Immortals from Haotian Palace will also be attending. It would be good to meet a few more fellow Daoists."
After a brief chat, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Yingying left.
Wang Changsheng continued to stroll along the street. About half an hour later, he arrived at a vast bluestone plaza. There were many small stalls there, displaying a dazzling array of items.
Wang Changsheng browsed around when a clear male voice called out: "Fellow Daoist Song, I've acquired something good that you'll definitely like."
He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall young man in a golden robe. The young man exuded an overwhelming demonic aura, and his eyes were golden.
The young man in golden robes was named Gan Xin. His true form was a Heaven-Devouring Python at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and he had mastered the Law of Devouring. Wang Changsheng had sparred with Gan Xin before and easily defeated him.
Wang Changsheng quickly walked over. Gan Xin's stall displayed many items, including immortal herbs, immortal ores, and immortal wood.
Gan Xin took out a golden storage bracelet, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and transmitted his voice, saying, "This is Prison Void Stone. If refined into an immortal artifact, it can impose certain restrictions on the Law of Space. I want a third-tier immortal pill that has better body-tempering effects."
"Prison Void Stone!" Wang Changsheng took the golden storage bracelet, swept it with his divine sense, and nodded.
He took out a green jade box, handed it to Gan Xin, and transmitted his voice, saying, "This is a Blood Nirvana Pill, refined with the crystal core of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Seven-Colored Chaos Beast."
The Blood Nirvana Pill was actually a Blood Rhinoceros Pill, and Wang Changsheng carried many of them.
Gan Xin took the jade box and opened it. Inside were two blood-red pills. He brought the pills to his nose, sniffed them lightly a few times, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
"Excellent! It's a deal," Gan Xin agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Song, you're not an immortal alchemist, are you?" Gan Xin asked curiously. Wang Changsheng had produced numerous third-tier immortal pills infused with seven-colored crystal cores, indicating considerable wealth.
"If I were, I would have said so already; there's no need to hide it," Wang Changsheng explained.
Gan Xin nodded and did not press further.
Wang Changsheng stood up and walked away, continuing to browse. He circled the bluestone plaza but found nothing significant, then left.
The sky gradually darkened. However, Celestial Night Market City was brightly lit, as if it were day.
Wang Changsheng returned to Azure Glaze Pavilion and saw Wang Ruyan sitting on a chair, her face alight with joy.
"Is there good news, my dear?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.
"Huanyu found a piece of Jade Aperture Stone! I've had her send it back," Wang Ruyan said. Jade Aperture Stone is needed to refine Jade Aperture Immortal Talismans. The more of this material, the better. As the number of Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the Wang family continually increased, so did the demand for Jade Aperture Immortal Talismans.
Wang Changsheng realized, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu invited us to a gathering. Grand Unity Golden Immortals from Haotian Palace will also be there. Let's go and meet them."
He and Wang Ruyan left Azure Glaze Pavilion and arrived at the entrance of a vast manor. A plaque above the gate bore three large golden characters: "Azure Laurel Garden."
Wang Changsheng sent out a sound transmission talisman. Soon after, the gates opened, and a tall, slender man in white robes quickly walked out. He said enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist Song, Madam Song, you've finally arrived. Please come in."
The man in white robes was named Xu Kuai. He was at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage of cultivation and originated from a rogue cultivator background.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan followed Xu Kuai inside. They arrived at a small courtyard with blue-tiled roofs. In the courtyard stood a bluestone pavilion where a dozen or so Grand Unity Golden Immortals were seated, sipping tea and chatting.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Yingying were also present. Upon seeing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, the cultivators greeted them one after another.
