Chapter 4477: Significant Gains (No More Today)

Yunchuan Market is the largest market on the Yunchuan Continent and one of the front-line strongholds against Chaos Beasts. It is a bustling hub where large numbers of immortals, merchants, and travelers gather. Immortals arriving on the Yunchuan Continent from elsewhere are very likely to visit Yunchuan Market to easily acquire cultivation resources.

A five-story golden pavilion stood tall, its plaque bearing the three large silver characters: "Tianhao Pavilion."

Inside the pavilion, Immortal Lord Lieyang and a young woman in a silver dress were seated, listening to a report from a tall, slender young man in a green shirt.

"Many immortals have entered Yunchuan Market, but finding an unknown target is impossible to investigate," the young man asked cautiously. "Uncle Liu, are there any other clues?" Without any clues, he didn't even know who the target was.

Immortal Lord Lieyang frowned deeply. There were indeed too few clues; they were simply relying on luck.

"Have any major incidents occurred recently?" asked the young woman in the silver dress. "For example, has any high-level immortal with a notable reputation suddenly appeared?" Her name was Xing Xin, an early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Some time ago, a wave of Chaos Beasts erupted, and many immortals were killed," the young man in the green shirt began. "A few Taiyi Golden Immortals performed quite well, they..." He hadn't finished speaking when a loud screeching sound came from his person. He took out a greenish-glowing spell plate, cast a spell, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"What happened?" Immortal Lord Lieyang asked.

"An ancient cultivator's cave dwelling has appeared," the young man in the green shirt reported. "It's located in the Hak Grasslands, which is the territory of the Hak Tribe, and the Hak Tribe has several Daluo Golden Immortals."

"An ancient cultivator's cave dwelling?" Immortal Lord Lieyang pressed. "Do we know whose cultivation retreat it is?"

"Currently, we don't know," the young man in the green shirt said. "The disturbance from breaking the restrictions was too great, and it was discovered by several Taiyi Golden Immortals. They kept reporting it, and now the news has spread throughout Yunchuan Market."

Xing Xin took out a silver-glowing spell plate, cast a spell, and her eyes lit up.

"Yun'er deduced that Shen Ting's Nascent Soul might be located in a place name containing the character 'Ha'," Xing Xin said. "This is too much of a coincidence!"

"A place name with 'Ha'?" Immortal Lord Lieyang said, frowning. "Hak Grasslands! It seems he entered that ancient cultivator's cave dwelling." If it were elsewhere, Immortal Lord Lieyang would have already gone there, but since the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling was in the Hak Grasslands, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"That's the Hak Tribe's territory, and this person still dared to go there, which indicates that ancient cultivator's cave dwelling is very important," Xing Xin analyzed. "It's likely a Daluo Golden Immortal's cultivation retreat. The ancient cultivator's cave dwelling might contain valuable treasures or items that assist Taiyi Golden Immortals in reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, or perhaps this Daluo Golden Immortal was exceptionally famous, like one of the Ten Immortals of the Barrens."

"It's rare to get news of this person, and we can't let this opportunity slip away," Immortal Lord Lieyang suggested. "Madam Xing, how about we make a trip? We'll act according to the situation. If it's too risky, we won't go in, but if conditions allow, we'll give it our all. What do you say?"

"Let's do it!" Xing Xin said. "I hope we can capture this person."

"Perhaps it's not just one person, but two or more," Immortal Lord Lieyang added.

They departed from Yunchuan Market. Almost simultaneously, large numbers of immortals also left the market, rushing towards the Hak Grasslands.

In the Hak Grasslands, a cyan light door floated high in the sky. From time to time, Chaos Beasts entered the light door, and large numbers of them gathered nearby, the lowest among them being five-colored Chaos Beasts.

Inside the cyan light door, a steep, high peak rose up. At its summit was a vast manor, where many spiritual fields could be seen, though they were all empty.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang TunTian stood at the entrance of a cyan pavilion, its plaque bearing the three large golden characters: "Ten Thousand Herbs Pavilion." A thick golden light barrier enveloped the entire pavilion. In this spiritual herb garden, they had already found multiple immortal herbs, all over thirty million years old.

Wang TunTian opened his mouth and spat out a stream of yellow light, enveloping the golden light barrier. This was the law of devourment. The golden light barrier twisted, deformed, and then shattered like a bubble.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the door to Ten Thousand Herbs Pavilion opened wide. A blue-dressed girl, covered in profound runes, walked in without triggering any restrictions. Only then did Wang Changsheng and the other two follow her.

The pavilion's interior was simply arranged, with over a dozen tables and chairs in the hall. They circled around and discovered three tightly sealed stone chambers.

Wang TunTian spat out a stream of yellow light, covering the door of one stone chamber. The door shattered into countless fragments, which vanished into his mouth. A stone chamber over a hundred feet wide appeared before their eyes. Inside was a formation dozens of feet across, with a large piece of Immortal Gathering Jade at its center. Surrounding the jade were numerous high-grade immortal essence stones, whose energy had already been depleted.

They opened the door to the second stone chamber. In the center of the chamber stood a silver-glowing fruit tree, bearing eight silvery-white fruits with lightning-like patterns on their surfaces.

"Thundercloud Immortal Fruits!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed with pleasant surprise. Thundercloud Immortal Fruits are one of the Ten Great Immortal Fruits, with a growth cycle of sixty million years. Immortals who consume this fruit can temporarily possess a Thundercloud Spirit Body, which is very effective in resisting lightning-type spell attacks and commonly used to withstand thunder tribulations. With these eight Thundercloud Immortal Fruits, Wang Changsheng's path to advancing to the Daluo Golden Immortal stage would be significantly easier.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Shen and had her pick the eight Thundercloud Immortal Fruits. He brought out a treasure to assist Wang Shen in transplanting the Thundercloud Immortal Fruit tree. During the transplant, some roots broke, but the impact was not significant, as Wang Changsheng possessed a Time Gourd and could use the fruit seeds to cultivate another Thundercloud Immortal Fruit tree when the time came.

Opening the door to the third stone chamber, an extremely pure immortal energy rushed out. The stone chamber was over a hundred feet in size. In its bottom left corner was a pond dozens of feet wide, containing blue and white liquid. Two silver lotuses grew there, their petals crescent-shaped, and they bore seven golden lotus seeds.

"Seven Star Immortal Lotuses!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed with pleasant surprise. Seven Star Immortal Lotuses have a growth cycle of ninety million years and can enhance immortal essence; even Daluo Golden Immortals benefit greatly from consuming them. Seven Star Immortal Lotuses can also be used to brew a fourth-tier immortal wine, the Seven Star Immortal Brew, which also enhances immortal essence.

Just then, Wang Changsheng frowned and said, "Not good, enemies are approaching." No sooner had he spoken than numerous cracks appeared in the stone chamber, which began to break apart, with large quantities of rubble falling.

Wang Changsheng reacted quickly, immediately conjuring five Sky Star Mirrors. With a spell chant, the five mirrors emitted dazzling golden light, enveloping the falling rubble. The falling rubble slowed considerably. Wang Shen flicked her sleeve, and a wave of cyan light swept out, enveloping the two Seven Star Immortal Lotuses.

Wang Ruyan's right hand emitted a black halo. She struck with her palm, and a black halo swept out, rising to meet what was above. A nine-colored Chaos Beast in a bestial human form stood outside Ten Thousand Herbs Pavilion. The black halo swept past its palm, causing its body to tremble.
