Chapter 4563

External rumors claimed that Immortal Lord Taihao could only have advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm so quickly because he received a legacy from a Great Luo Golden Immortal. It appears those rumors are true.

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable pondered for a moment, a look of reluctance on his face. He then took out an exquisite golden jade box, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and said, "This is a Nine Heavens Profound Gold Crystal, a core material for crafting a Tier 4 Immortal Puppet. How about this item, along with a secret technique for opening the orifices and a pill recipe?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, what kind of supreme-grade immortal artifact do you intend to refine? How much material have you prepared? May I see it?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable nodded, took out a golden storage bracelet, and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

He flipped his right hand, and a golden light flashed, revealing a shimmering golden staff in his grasp. Judging by its immortal energy fluctuations, it was only a high-grade immortal artifact.

"Can this treasure be upgraded to a supreme-grade immortal artifact?" the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable asked.

Wang Changsheng's divine sense swept over it. He nodded and said, "Upgrading it to a supreme-grade immortal artifact is no problem, but I'd like to know how Fellow Daoist Yuan came to seek my assistance."

"Zen Master Mingren recommended that I seek you out; he said you are proficient in artifact refining," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable explained.

While there were Tier 4 immortal artifact refiners among the Kunlun Dao Ancestor's disciples, their prices were prohibitively high due to their esteemed status, and the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable could not afford them. It was no secret that Wang Changsheng was skilled in artifact refining. More importantly, he had only recently ascended to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and the Wang family's heritage was relatively short. The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable had thus assumed Wang Changsheng would be easy to negotiate with, but he was proven wrong.

"Zen Master Mingren? Fellow Daoist Yuan knows him!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed, a little surprised.

"We are old acquaintances; otherwise, I wouldn't have sought your help, Fellow Daoist Wang."

"This treasure hasn't been integrated with a Primordial Spirit Treasure, has it? If it had, these materials you possess wouldn't be sufficient," Wang Changsheng stated.

"No, it hasn't been integrated with a Primordial Spirit Treasure. I have a small request: if Fellow Daoist Wang helps me refine this artifact, the Nine Heavens Profound Gold Crystal and the pill recipe are secondary. The secret technique for opening nine orifices is quite valuable. Even if Fellow Daoist Wang already possesses one such technique, having another wouldn't hurt. However, let me state upfront that I obtained this secret technique through an exchange, meaning other forces might also possess it," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable said slowly.

"If anyone else made this request, I would absolutely refuse. But since you were introduced by Zen Master Mingren, that's a different matter. I agree to your small request. Delivery within 100,000 years, no problem?" Wang Changsheng said.

"No problem! When Fellow Daoist Wang finishes refining it, you can send someone to Kunlun Immortal City to inform me, or contact me directly using a Spirit Communication Mirror," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable said, handing the golden staff to Wang Changsheng.

A single period of seclusion for a Great Luo Golden Immortal often lasts for more than 100,000 years.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you know any Tier 4 immortal wine masters? Could you help me with an introduction or two?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable, being at the mid-Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, must have cultivated for a considerable time and possessed extensive connections.

"Tier 4 immortal wine masters? I do know five; two are in the Heavenly Craft Immortal Domain and Myriad Spirit Immortal Domain, and the other three are missing. I also have some friends in Kunlun Immortal City; I'll help you inquire about them," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable said. Then, as if an idea struck him, he looked at Wang Ruyan and added, "By the way, I heard that Madam Wang is an immortal talisman master? I have a friend who wishes to meet a Tier 4 immortal talisman master. Would Madam Wang be available?"

Wang Ruyan nodded. "Yes, I am available. Fellow Daoist Yuan, you can contact your friend and have them come over."

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable's face lit up with joy. He took out a shimmering golden communication disk, injected a spell into it, and made a few gestures.

Wang Changsheng and the two others chatted casually, discussing the great battle between the Golden Worm King Tribe and Heavenly Witch City. The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable had also participated in this conflict, engaging with a Nine-Color Chaos Beast at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage and severely wounding it.

"I heard that a King Beast made a move. Fellow Daoist Yuan, have you fought it?" Wang Changsheng asked, his face full of curiosity.

"No, I haven't fought it. However, a friend of mine did, and they died at its hands. If I were to face it, I wouldn't stand a chance either. Fellow Daoist Wang, since you wield the Law of Soul and have cultivated an immortal body, you wouldn't have a problem fighting it, but killing it would be exceedingly difficult. Even with Dao Arts, it's hard to eliminate it; the King Beast's berserk divine ability provides an immense boost," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable said gravely.

"I heard the King Beast was injured. Who injured it?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

"Two Great Luo Golden Immortals used supreme-grade immortal artifacts to injure it, but killing it would be difficult. The King Beast is manageable, but if it were a Ten-Color Chaos Beast, even ordinary supreme-grade immortal artifacts wouldn't be able to wound it."

"So, Fellow Daoist Yuan, you've seen a Ten-Color Chaos Beast?" Wang Changsheng pressed.

"I saw one when I first ascended to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Fortunately, I encountered Chi Linzi of the Qilin clan. He possessed a supreme-grade immortal artifact integrated with a Primordial Spirit Treasure, but he was still no match for the Ten-Color Chaos Beast. Luckily, he had mastered a Dao Art, which trapped the Ten-Color Chaos Beast for a moment."

"I heard there are Great Luo Golden Immortals who have opened ten orifices. Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you know any?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"I know one, but I haven't seen him for many years. I don't know where he is, nor if he will attend this Kunlun Dharma Assembly."

After they chatted for over half a quarter of an hour, a knock came from outside the door.

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable flicked his sleeve, and the door opened. He then said, "Madam Huangfu, please come in and speak!"

A plump woman in a black dress entered. She possessed beautiful features, skin as white as snow, and a pair of dewy, peach blossom-like eyes. Demonic patterns adorned her body, emanating a surging demonic aura.

"This humble one is Huangfu Yu! Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang. I have long heard of your esteemed reputations," the woman in the black dress said, bowing respectfully with a warm tone.

"Madam Huangfu, please don't be so polite. Please sit down, and let's chat," Wang Changsheng said, motioning for Huangfu Yu to take a seat.

The Golden Ape Immortal Venerable flicked his sleeve, and the door automatically closed.

"Madam Wang, are you capable of refining Tier 4 immortal talismans?" Huangfu Yu inquired.

"That depends on the type of immortal talisman. There are many kinds of Tier 4 immortal talismans. May I ask what kind of immortal talisman Madam Huangfu wishes to refine?" Wang Ruyan said.

Huangfu Yu took out a black jade slip and handed it to Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's divine sense swept over it, and she said, "A Sky Demon Talisman! It requires the pure crystal core of a Nine-Color Chaos Beast at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage! I am confident I can refine it, but I'm curious what Madam Huangfu will offer as compensation."

The Sky Demon Talisman was likely a secret talisman for opening the ninth orifice. Wang Ruyan didn't inquire further; as long as the price was acceptable, she could assist.

"Madam Huangfu," the Golden Ape Immortal Venerable reminded her, "Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang are not ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals; only exceptionally valuable materials will pique their interest."

Huangfu Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a black storage bracelet, handed it to Wang Ruyan, and moved her lips slightly in a private message.

Wang Ruyan took the black storage bracelet, swept it with her divine sense, and nodded, agreeing to help.

"Many thanks, Madam Wang! Here are the materials," Huangfu Yu said, expressing her gratitude as she took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's divine sense swept over it, and she accepted the golden storage bracelet.
