Chapter 4520: High-Level Turtle Shell

"Those few Gold-Bearded Ice-Scaled Fish at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage weren't very useful," Li Qingxing said. "Besides being able to speak human language, they couldn't transform into human form and remained in fish shape. Their divine abilities were also ordinary. One of them was cooked and eaten by a clan member, who then used the opportunity to cultivate into an immortal body."

"Yes! We fed it a large amount of chaos beast crystal cores and immortal medicines, which was too costly," Li Qingyue echoed.

"Immortal Li, you used pure crystal cores to feed the Gold-Bearded Ice-Scaled Fish?" Wang Ruyan asked, feigning curiosity.

"I heard we fed it a small number of pure crystal cores from Golden Immortal stage chaos beasts, but mainly impure ones," Li Qingxing said. "We haven't been luxurious enough to feed the Gold-Bearded Ice-Scaled Fish with large amounts of pure crystal cores; purifying them is quite difficult."

"I heard that the Nangong Immortal Clan, which is under the jurisdiction of Kunlun Immortal City, obtained a Taiyi Creation Pot that can easily purify chaos beast crystal cores. Perhaps the Nangong Immortal Clan can afford such luxury!" Heavenly Ape Immortal Venerable said.

"I've heard of the Nangong Immortal Clan," Han Xin said. "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Golden Worm King tribe clashed intensely with Tianwu City, the Nangong Immortal Clan proactively attacked the Chahar tribe, successively destroying five tribes and expanding their territory."

"I've also heard about that," Heavenly Thunder God Lord echoed. "The Azure Lotus Wang Family, subordinate to the Nangong Immortal Clan, is skilled in artifact refining, and two of their members have cultivated immortal bodies."

"I heard that the ancestors of the Azure Lotus Wang Family, the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, both mastered the law of the soul and possessed powerful physical bodies," Qin Yue said. "They have a physical divine ability that can kill an eight-colored chaos beast with a single blow! They were even summoned by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor."

"I've also heard of this. Speaking of which, when I, Xiao, was at the Golden Immortal stage, I had a skirmish with Immortal Lord Taihao," Reverend Xuanji said, his face full of pride.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao exchanged blows with Immortal Lord Taihao?" The cultivators present were somewhat surprised. They had all heard of the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple but had never met them in person.

"Yes, it's been over two million years since we last met. I wonder how they are," Reverend Xuanji said, eager to try. "If I encounter them again, I'll definitely spar with them once more."

"The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple's rise has indeed been very fast, emerging suddenly like veteran Grand Unity Golden Immortals such as Lingxiaozi and Immortal Linglong," Qin Yue said. "Perhaps they have already advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

"That's unclear," Reverend Xuanji said. "If they did advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the Azure Lotus Wang Family would certainly hold a grand celebration."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Myriad Gourd Business Alliance held a large auction, where a Grand Unity Golden Immortal consigned a Dao technique for auction!" Immortal Lord Butian changed the subject.

"I also heard about that. I wonder whose hands that Dao technique fell into!" Wang Changsheng said.

"After obtaining the Dao technique, that person teleported away in public and disappeared without a trace," He Yutang sighed. "Obtaining the Dao technique is useless without finding the source item required to cultivate it, and the difficulty of acquiring such an item is no less than that of the Dao technique itself."

The He family possessed Dao techniques, but cultivation required meeting specific conditions, the trickiest being the source items. The He family didn't have many such items, so only a handful of clan members mastered the Dao techniques.

"Could it be the Taiyi Golden Immortal that Haotian Palace was trying to apprehend?" Han Xin speculated. "Rumor has it that this person mastered a Dao technique related to escape arts, which allowed them to escape from Immortal Lord Lieyang."

"Who knows?" Heavenly Thunder God Lord said. "But then again, Fellow Daoist Yu has mastered the law of destiny, so perhaps you can deduce that person's whereabouts!"

"I don't know that person's divine abilities or natal immortal artifact," Immortal Lord Butian said seriously. "I can't deduce their whereabouts based solely on the divine abilities they've displayed. Even if I knew their natal immortal artifact, I wouldn't try to deduce it. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable."

"What kind of divine ability does this person possess! To be able to eliminate the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable right under the nose of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal..." Heavenly Ape Immortal Venerable said, his face full of curiosity. "I heard that the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable had always stayed on Masking Moon Island, and Senior Yu had also been on Masking Moon Island, yet this person still succeeded."

"Indeed!" Xu Yulang said. "I heard that Masking Moon Palace is searching everywhere for treasures and immortal talismans that can weaken the law of curses. From that perspective, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable must have been killed by an enemy who cast a cursing spell."

This matter caused a great stir, spreading throughout the Barren Immortal Realm and making Haotian Palace a laughingstock.

"Logically, the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable had treasures that weakened the law of curses, so only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's intervention could have killed them! If this person had a Grand Unity Golden Immortal backing them, they would have shown themselves earlier, and Immortal Lord Lieyang wouldn't have pursued them, right?"

"Perhaps it was a Taiyi Golden Immortal with a perfected law who used a treasure or a grand formation to curse and kill the Eight Trigrams Immortal Venerable. As for the truth, only those directly involved would know."

"That's true, but for this person to escape from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal is indeed impressive."

Several Taiyi Golden Immortals expressed deep admiration, and Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qiulin concurred.

Wang Changsheng hadn't expected his exploits to be so widely circulated, becoming a topic of conversation among the most supreme talents of the Barren Immortal Realm.

After chatting for over two hours, Li Qingxing suggested exchanging cultivation resources, which the cultivators, of course, agreed to.

As the host, Li Qingxing was the first to offer items for exchange. She presented over a hundred items, but Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan glanced at them with little interest.

Reverend Xuanji and several other Taiyi Golden Immortals were very interested. They sent voice messages to Li Qingxing and took out items for her to inspect.

The cultivators successively presented their cultivation resources, stating what they wished to exchange. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan remained uninterested; they had attended too many gatherings of Taiyi Golden Immortals, and very few items could pique their interest.

Over an hour later, Reverend Xuanji completed his exchanges and sat down. Wang Changsheng stood up, flicked his sleeve, and a swath of blue light swept past, revealing a large pile of items on the table, including many third-tier immortal wines.

There was a wide variety of items: high-grade immortal artifacts, third-tier immortal talismans, third-tier immortal pills, third-tier immortal formations, artifact refining materials, immortal herbs, immortal wood, high-grade chaos armor, and more.

"I'm looking to exchange for rare artifact refining materials. Please don't offer items that have already been presented," Wang Changsheng stated.

Reverend Xuanji and over twenty other Taiyi Golden Immortals sent voice messages to Wang Changsheng and presented items for him to inspect, but most did not meet Wang Changsheng's preferences.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, how about I trade the shell of a Great Perfection Taiyi Golden Immortal Dark Tortoise for two pots of Golden Soul Jade Liquid?" Immortal Lord Butian transmitted a message to Wang Changsheng, then took out a black storage bracelet and handed it to him.

"The shell of a Great Perfection Taiyi Golden Immortal Dark Tortoise!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He took the black storage bracelet, scanned it with his divine sense, and nodded.

This tortoise shell, refined into a high-grade defensive immortal artifact, would certainly offer excellent defense. Golden Soul Jade Liquid was merely a third-tier immortal wine, but when refined with eight-colored crystal cores, it had the effect of strengthening the soul. Wang Changsheng had three jars of it in his storage bracelet.

The items presented by the other Taiyi Golden Immortals did not catch Wang Changsheng's eye, and he failed to exchange for anything he desired.

Wang Changsheng put away his cultivation resources and sat down. Wang Qiulin then stood up and brought out materials for exchange.

Over an hour later, the exchange concluded, and the cultivators departed one by one, returning to their respective homes.
