Chapter 4513: Half-Soul Body

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang. How about we head to Myriad Spirit Market together?" Fu Lingzi said warmly.

Wang Changsheng was momentarily surprised but quickly recovered and agreed. He couldn't understand why Fu Lingzi was so enthusiastic; they were meeting for the first time.

"Are you an Immortal Talisman Master, Fellow Daoist Fu? Few people use talisman soldiers for travel," Wang Ruyan said.

"I am indeed an Immortal Talisman Master, though I've only learned a little. Why, is Madam Wang also an Immortal Talisman Master?" Fu Lingzi's smile deepened.

"I know a thing or two. If you have time, perhaps we could exchange pointers on talisman crafting," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

"That would be wonderful! Madam Wang, you might not know this, but there are very few Tier-3 Immortal Talisman Masters in our Blazing Fire Immortal Realm. It's hard for me to find anyone to exchange ideas with, so I had to travel. My first stop was the Barren Immortal Realm, and I happened upon the Li family's Grand Dharma Convention, so I rushed over." Fu Lingzi's face was beaming.

The large green boat flew forward, with the green paper crane following closely. Fu Lingzi inquired about the Heavenly Wave Immortal Realm. Wang Ruyan gave a brief introduction, not saying too much to avoid revealing too much information.

Wang Ruyan didn't ask questions, but Fu Lingzi voluntarily spoke about the situation in the Blazing Fire Immortal Realm, including his experiences in the Barren Immortal Realm.

Fu Lingzi didn't ask personal questions, only discussed what he had seen and heard, and talisman crafting techniques. Wang Changsheng rarely spoke, while Wang Ruyan exchanged insights on talisman crafting with Fu Lingzi.

For every sentence Wang Ruyan spoke, Fu Lingzi could reply with twenty; his mouth seemed to never close.

A distance of 100,000 li was not far for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Fu Lingzi talked nonstop the entire journey. Rather than an exchange with Wang Ruyan, it felt more like a monologue.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had cultivated for many years and knew many cultivators, but Fu Lingzi was the first Grand Unity Golden Immortal they had met who talked so much.

Not long after, they arrived at Myriad Spirit Market.

Upon entering Myriad Spirit Market, Wang Ruyan said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, we have some matters to attend to. We'll contact you later."

"No problem! Madam Wang, Fellow Daoist Wang, please do contact me! We must continue exchanging insights on talisman crafting," Fu Lingzi said enthusiastically.

The four of them parted ways. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan went together, while Wang Qiulin and Ye Haitang acted alone to gather cultivation resources.

There were many immortal medicine shops here, which was not surprising. The Li family was famous for alchemy in the Barren Immortal Realm; their ancestor was a Tier-4 Immortal Alchemist, who unfortunately perished in the Immortal Fall Tribulation.

They strolled around, looking at various items and purchasing some materials for artifact refining and talisman crafting.

More than an hour later, they appeared on a vast bluestone plaza with many small stalls, where numerous Grand Unity Golden Immortals could be seen.

"There's something I need at a small stall up ahead. Hurry and buy it," Qing Xuan's urgent voice sounded in Wang Changsheng's ear.

Wang Changsheng quickly quickened his pace and walked forward, with Wang Ruyan following him.

Soon after, they stopped in front of a small stall. The stall owner was a graceful young woman in a black dress. Her body had some faint silver spiritual patterns and appeared semi-transparent, not quite solid.

"A Soul Race member!" Wang Changsheng wondered aloud.

"You've misunderstood, Fellow Daoist. I am not from the Soul Race, but a natural Half-Soul Body," the black-dressed young woman explained.

"A Half-Soul Body!" Wang Changsheng had heard of such a spiritual body, which could freely switch between solid and soul forms, though it couldn't maintain either form for extended periods.

His gaze fell upon the stall, which held a variety of items, including ores, immortal wood, demon beast materials, and immortal medicines.

He picked up a piece of golden jade and was about to speak when a breeze swept past, and a short, stout old man in a green robe appeared, saying, "Fairy, how much for this jade? I'll buy it."

"First come, first served. This fellow Daoist was here first. I'll only consider selling it to you if he can't afford it," the black-dressed young woman said.

Wang Ruyan took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to the black-dressed young woman.

The green-robed old man took out a blue storage bracelet and handed it to the black-dressed young woman.

The black-dressed young woman took the golden storage bracelet, scanned it with her divine sense, nodded, and said, "This item is yours."

"Fairy, shouldn't you look at what I've offered first? There's no need to sell it so hastily, is there? Shouldn't it go to the highest bidder?" the green-robed old man said, frowning.

"I said, first come, first served. I'm very satisfied with the price he offered, so there's no need to look at your offer," the black-dressed young woman said seriously.

The green-robed old man frowned; it was his first time encountering someone like this.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Shen Yan from the Linglong Sect of the Heavenly Craft Immortal Realm. Could you transfer this item to me? I can pay with the crystal core of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beast," the green-robed old man transmitted to Wang Changsheng.

"Apologies, but I have other uses for it," Wang Changsheng politely refused.

He had heard of the Linglong Sect in the Heavenly Craft Immortal Realm when he was still at the True Immortal stage, and he hadn't expected to meet a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from that sect here.

Shen Yan looked disappointed, said nothing further, cupped his fists, and left the area.

Wang Changsheng hadn't expected to acquire a material that Qing Xuan was interested in so soon after arriving at Myriad Spirit Market; it was a pleasant surprise.

They continued to wander around the bluestone plaza. After most of a quarter of an hour, Wang Changsheng quickened his pace and approached a small stall. The stall owner was a robust Taoist priest in a purple robe, reeking of alcohol. Many items were displayed on his stall, including a piece of Golden Window Divine Crystal.

"Fellow Daoist, how much for this Golden Window Divine Crystal?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Trade for Tier-3 immortal wine! Only trade, not sell," the purple-robed Taoist priest said.

Wang Changsheng took out an exquisite green wine pot and handed it to the purple-robed Taoist priest, saying, "This wine has excellent body-tempering effects and can aid your cultivation into an immortal body. What do you think?" He had obtained a large quantity of Tier-3 immortal wine from Immortal Lord Qingmei's cultivation grounds, which now came in handy.

The purple-robed Taoist priest took the wine pot, lifted the lid, sniffed it, and an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face. He praised, "Excellent! I'll trade with you, haha." The purple-robed Taoist priest brought the spout to his mouth and took a large gulp.

"Good wine, good wine! Fellow Daoist, what is the name of this wine?" the purple-robed Taoist priest asked.

"Golden Radiance Nectar! It's refined with an eight-color crystal core, and its body-tempering effect is excellent," Wang Changsheng said.

He had three jars, so trading one pot was nothing. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had already cultivated immortal bodies. To cultivate peak immortal bodies, Tier-3 immortal wine wasn't very useful, as higher-grade cultivation resources were needed. Of course, while they didn't need it, their clan members could use it.

"This humble Taoist is Daoist Purple Gourd. If you fancy anything on this stall, just use immortal wine to trade!" the purple-robed Taoist priest said enthusiastically.

Wang Changsheng shook his head and said, "These items are not enough to exchange for my immortal wine!" He made it clear that higher-grade materials were needed for his immortal wine.

"You don't fancy these items either?" Daoist Purple Gourd asked, surprised.

Wang Changsheng smiled without a word, rose, and left.
