Chapter 4503: Gain the Source Object Again (None Left Today)

Qinglian City's streets were bustling with people and traffic, exceptionally lively.

Inside a secluded manor, Wang Yixin and Xuanxuzi were seated in a blue stone pavilion, enjoying tea and conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Ancestor Qiulin is undergoing critical secluded cultivation and truly cannot divine your opportunities for you. Please come back after some time!" Wang Yixin said.

Grand Unity Golden Immortals often came seeking Wang Qiulin's help to divine opportunities or deduce someone's whereabouts, but Wang Yixin always told them that Wang Qiulin was in critical secluded cultivation.

"Alright! Then I shall take my leave." Xuanxuzi sighed.

Wang Yixin personally escorted Xuanxuzi out of Qinglian City. No sooner had Xuanxuzi departed than a tall young man in yellow robes flew from a distance, appearing with a flash just outside Qinglian City.

"Fellow Daoist Shen! It's you." Wang Yixin looked at the young man in yellow robes, her face filled with shock.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was this very young man in yellow robes who sold an Origin Item to the Wang family. At that time, Wang Mengbin was responsible for receiving him and acquired the item.

So many years had passed, and he had actually shown up again. Could he be here to sell another Origin Item?

"Immortaless Wang, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you. Can you make the decision?" the young man in yellow robes said.

As Wang Yixin was about to answer, a black light appeared in the distant sky and stopped with a flash. The escaping light dissipated, revealing Ye Haitang's figure.

Wang Qiulin had returned to the Barren Immortal Realm to continue assisting Wang Changsheng. Ye Haitang was responsible for bringing back the Upper-grade Chaos Armor and Upper-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had refined.

"Ancestor Haitang, you've returned just in time. This Fellow Daoist Shen wishes to discuss something with you. Only you can make decisions regarding this matter, as Ancestor Qingbai and the others are currently unavailable," Wang Yixin said.

She was unsure what transaction the young man in yellow robes intended to make with the Wang family. High-ranking family members like Wang Qingbai, Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Qingcheng were either in secluded cultivation or out handling various matters.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please come inside," Ye Haitang said politely, inviting the young man in yellow robes to her residence. Wang Yixin was also present.

"My name is Shen Shi. Immortaless Ye, are you certain you can make the decision? I require one Upper-grade Chaos Armor, two Upper-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons, one Upper-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrow, one bottle of body-tempering immortal pills infused with an eight-colored crystal core, and one bottle of soul-strengthening immortal pills and herbs." the young man in yellow robes said.

"I can make the decision. We can provide all the items you've listed, but what will you offer in exchange?" Ye Haitang asked.

"I'm not buying them; I'm exchanging them with this item," Shen Shi said, taking out an egg-sized silver jade stone and handing it to Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang carefully examined it and gasped. Wang Changsheng had described Origin Items to her, and she had also read relevant records in ancient texts. This was indeed an Origin Item.

With this item, she would be able to cultivate Daoist techniques.

"Well?" Shen Shi said.

"No problem. Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait a moment while I have Yixin retrieve them." Ye Haitang readily agreed and instructed Wang Yixin to fetch the items from the treasury.

Not long after, Wang Yixin returned with a golden storage bracelet in her hand and handed it to Shen Shi. Shen Shi swept his divine sense over the bracelet and nodded with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, this is my second transaction with your Wang family. I trust you, but if you were to try and silence me, you wouldn't have an easy time either," Shen Shi warned.

Earlier in his life, he had killed a Golden Immortal cultivator named Qian Xin, who was a clone of Qian Dong, a deacon of the Palace of Yama. It was unknown where Qian Xin had obtained the information that the Immortal Couple of Qinglian had mastered a Daoist technique, but he had not reported it. The higher-ups suspected Qian Dong of wanting to kill him to silence him, so Qian Dong had Qian Xin go into hiding. Qian Xin was to find a way to defect to the Chaos Beasts using his identity as a deacon of the Palace of Yama and then publicize the information. Whether the outside world truly believed it or not wasn't important; as long as they suspected it, the Wang family would be in trouble. Furthermore, this would also cause the Palace of Yama and the Wang family to become completely hostile.

Shen Shi learned of this matter but did not spread the news. The Wang family's mastery of a Daoist technique was of no concern to him, but this information could serve as a powerful life-saving trump card. Shen Shi's main body had refined a clone and sent it to conduct the transaction with the Wang family. If anything were to happen to the clone, Shen Shi would immediately spread the news that the Wang family had mastered a Daoist technique. As for whether the outside world believed it, that was no longer Shen Shi's concern.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you don't need to worry. We're still hoping to conduct a third transaction with you. Please feel free to leave," Ye Haitang said with a slight smile.

"That's good. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell," Shen Shi said, then stood up and departed.

Wang Yixin exclaimed in surprise, "This person actually possesses two Origin Items! Could he have a third one? Where did he acquire them?"

"I don't know, and don't try to find out. Don't send anyone to follow him either. Just let him be. I hope he will trade with us again," Ye Haitang said. She took out a black storage bracelet, handed it to Wang Yixin, and instructed, "Deposit these items into the family treasury."

Wang Yixin swept her divine sense over the bracelet and exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

"Yes. Don't spread the word about this. I'm going to find my cousin Qingbai." After giving a few instructions, Ye Haitang went to Wang Qingbai's residence and sent a sound transmission talisman.

Not long after, Wang Qingbai emerged.

"Cousin Haitang, is everything resolved?" Wang Qingbai asked.

"Not yet. I don't know if the other party will bring in more helpers, so Qiulin will continue to stay and assist our aunt and uncle," Ye Haitang explained, briefly recounting how she obtained the Origin Item.

"That's wonderful! These are the cultivation methods for the Myriad Ghosts Devouring Body and the Heaven-Treading Steps. Take them and cultivate! Destroy the jade slips once you've successfully cultivated them." Wang Qingbai took out two jade slips and handed them to Ye Haitang.

"This is the Daoist technique Eight-Armed Vajra that Uncle asked me to bring back. One can only cultivate it after forming an immortal body and mastering the Law of Strength. Uncle repeatedly warned me not to use it unless absolutely necessary, as Immortal Monarch Lieyang recognizes this particular Daoist technique." Ye Haitang took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Wang Qingbai.

"Eight-Armed Vajra! That's excellent!" Wang Qingbai's face lit up with joy. His ninth aperture allowed him to master the Law of Strength, which meant he could now cultivate four Daoist techniques: Size as One Pleases, Instantaneous Bloom, Heaven-Treading Steps, and Eight-Armed Vajra.

After a brief chat, Ye Haitang returned to cultivate Daoist techniques, and Wang Qingbai also went back to cultivate his.

Barren Immortal Realm, Azure Moon Sea Region.

Azure Moon Market, Green Fence Pavilion.

Inside a secret chamber, the stone walls were covered with profound runes, emitting a strong surge of restrictive fluctuations.

Wang Chuanming held a golden shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror in his hand. On its surface, Wang Changsheng's face could be seen.

"Well done. Pay attention to your own safety and don't expose yourself," Wang Changsheng cautioned.

Wang Chuanming had helped spread damaging rumors about Haotian Palace and Immortal Monarch Lieyang, creating some trouble for the latter.

"Ancestor, please rest assured. Your grandson did not personally handle this. Should it be investigated, it will only appear that subordinates were paid to carry out the task," Wang Chuanming said.

He had completely distanced himself from any responsibility, helping Wang Changsheng without implicating himself.

"That's good. Keep an eye on other Grand Unity Golden Immortals who have mastered the Law of Destiny. Let's see who still dares to help Immortal Monarch Lieyang with their deductions." Wang Changsheng's face was filled with murderous intent.

"Yes, Ancestor!" Wang Chuanming readily agreed.

Wang Changsheng gave a few more instructions, then cut off the connection.
