Chapter 4567: Requesting Compensation

Leaving Jade Moon Garden, Immortal Lord Xuanhun hadn't gone far when Wang Changsheng called out to him.

"Friend Qin, please wait. Would it be convenient for us to move somewhere to talk in detail?" Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

Immortal Lord Xuanhun was slightly startled, then nodded and followed Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to Green Lotus Garden.

After some small talk, Wang Changsheng took out two nascent souls, each adorned with a silver talisman, and handed them to Immortal Lord Xuanhun, saying, "Friend Qin, these must be people from your Yama Palace! They attacked and killed our son and clansmen."

Immortal Lord Xuanhun was stunned. He had never issued such an order! Given the Wang family's current standing, high-ranking officials in Yama Palace wouldn't do such a thing; it wasn't worth it, and there were no major conflicts of interest between Yama Palace and the Wang family.

"Friend Wang, isn't this a misunderstanding?" Immortal Lord Xuanhun asked.

"This happened a long time ago, when we were only Golden Immortals," Wang Ruyan explained.

Previously, they weren't strong enough, so they could only pretend nothing happened. But now it's different; they have advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortals, so they naturally demand an explanation.

"Whether this is true or not, Friend Qin will know if he contacts his subordinates and asks," Wang Changsheng said.

He didn't intend to fight Yama Palace to the death, but merely to seek an explanation. He couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened.

Immortal Lord Xuanhun took out a golden dharma plate, entered a magic incantation, and gestured for a moment.

After a while, Immortal Lord Xuanhun frowned, put away the golden dharma plate, and said, "Friend Wang, these were just the ignorant actions of subordinates. It's all in the past."

"Friend Qin, can subordinates act recklessly just because they are ignorant? In the past? If I send people to assassinate high-ranking officials of your Yama Palace, can I also say it's in the past after some time?" Wang Changsheng said with a half-smile.

"Friend Wang, please just say what you want to say directly!" Immortal Lord Xuanhun said with a frown.

"Immortal Maiden Tianchen slaying a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage Nine-Colored Chaos Beast is something we greatly admire. However, one thing is one thing; you still owe us compensation! You can't just dismiss it by saying 'it's in the past.'" Wang Changsheng said, taking out a golden jade slip and handing it to Immortal Lord Xuanhun.

Immortal Lord Xuanhun frowned and said, "Five Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pills? Friend Wang, isn't that compensation too much? At most, one. If Friend Wang wants five, you'll have to trade for them, for example, with top-grade Chaos Armor, complete sets of high-grade immortal artifacts, or fourth-tier immortal pills and wines that enhance immortal essence."

Wang Changsheng haggled with Immortal Lord Xuanhun. Ultimately, Immortal Lord Xuanhun compensated two Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pills, and the Wang family sold ten high-grade Chaos Armor pieces and one set of high-grade immortal artifacts to Immortal Lord Xuanhun, who exchanged them for a batch of cultivation resources. The Wang family profited greatly.

"Friend Qin, let this matter be concluded here. We do not wish for a next time." Wang Changsheng raised his teacup.

"We are even now. I will keep my subordinates in check, and the Chaos Armor and top-grade items will be delivered promptly." Immortal Lord Xuanhun raised his teacup and clinked it with Wang Changsheng's.

In this meeting, he acquired ten high-grade Chaos Armor pieces and one set of high-grade immortal artifacts, which was the greatest gain, and he also resolved a potential hidden danger.

After chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Immortal Lord Xuanhun took his leave.

Over the next two months, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan frequently attended gatherings of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, exchanging cultivation insights with other Grand Unity Golden Immortals and trading cultivation resources.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan acquired many materials for artifact refining and talisman crafting. Of course, they didn't forget their other clansmen, trading for five Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pills, three Heaven and Earth Creation Pills, and four Sky Jade Marvel Pills. These three types of fourth-tier immortal pills can assist Grand Unity Golden Immortals in opening their immortal acupoints and advancing to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

After advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan found it much easier to obtain immortal elixirs like Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pills, preparing their clansmen for their future breakthroughs to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. As for whether they can reach that realm, that will depend on them.

Two months later, at the Heavenly Phoenix Tower, two Golden Immortal cultivators guarded the entrance.

On the fifth floor, Nangong Yueshuo, Nangong Changqing, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Carefree Rogue Immortal, Huangfu Yu, Hua Yaoyao, and a burly, golden-robed man with a fleshy face sat around a green tea table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Thank you for your help this time, Friend Nangong. If you ever need my assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." The golden-robed man showed a joyful expression.

Jin Gangzi, a rogue immortal, had cultivation at the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

He had obtained a Nine-Colored Chaos Beast's crystal core from an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, which was from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage beast. He asked Nangong Yueshuo to help purify it, and Nangong Yueshuo agreed to assist, charging a substantial fee.

Over the years, the Nangong Immortal Clan had made a substantial profit just by helping other Grand Unity Golden Immortals purify Chaos Beast crystal cores.

"Certainly. The Grand Unity Creation Pot can purify crystal cores of Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts up to the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Crystal cores from higher-level Chaos Beasts cannot be purified," Nangong Yueshuo said with a smile.

"I heard that the Grand Unity Creation Pot was refined with a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure. I wonder where the refiner acquired such a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure. I have cultivated for many years and have seen many Primordial Spirit Treasures, but I have never seen a mutated one," Huangfu Yu said with a curious expression.

"Indeed! I've also seen many Primordial Spirit Treasures, but never a mutated one," Carefree Rogue Immortal expressed deep agreement.

"Primordial Spirit Treasures are essentially rare refining materials. Mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures are no longer just materials; they are true treasures. Logically, top-grade immortal artifacts refined with Primordial Spirit Treasures have a chance to ascend to Dao Artifacts, but those refined with mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures have an even greater chance. I heard that the Heavenly Qilin Banner in Dao Ancestor Qilin's possession is an example of this, having ascended to a Dao Artifact from a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure," Nangong Yueshuo explained.

"Speaking of mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures, I heard that Dao Ancestor Qiankun also possessed such a treasure. Unfortunately, Dao Ancestor Qiankun died at the hands of a Chaos Beast, and it's unknown if he made any contingency plans," Wang Ruyan said curiously.

"Even if a clone was left behind, reaching Grand Unity Golden Immortal is already quite an achievement. Ascending to Dao Ancestor is incredibly difficult. A friend of mine failed when attempting to become a Dao Ancestor; the power of the lightning tribulation was too immense," Hua Yaoyao interjected.

"Your friend failed in their attempt to become a Dao Ancestor, Madam Hua? Did you witness your friend's attempt firsthand? Could you tell us about it?" Wang Changsheng pressed on.

"I didn't witness it firsthand; I heard it from his descendants," Hua Yaoyao explained.

"If he had left any contingency plans, Dao Ancestor Qiankun's Daoist temple should have been discovered by now!" Huangfu Yu said.

"That's not necessarily true. Generally, the Daoist temples or residences of high-level immortals are protected by powerful restrictions to prevent accidental intrusion. Even if a clone was left, it might not be able to enter immediately. It's hard to say. Besides Dao Ancestor Qiankun, other Dao Ancestors also perished in the last Immortal-Chaos War. If one could find the Daoist temple of any Dao Ancestor, they would become incredibly rich," Nangong Changqing said.

"I heard that Dao Ancestor Huanle only ascended to Dao Ancestor after obtaining the legacy of another Dao Ancestor," Carefree Rogue Immortal said curiously.

"Unless the individuals involved speak about such matters, outsiders wouldn't know. There are too many rumors. I heard that Haotian Palace and the Hakk tribe in the Barren Immortal Realm were destroyed, supposedly related to Dao Artifacts. There are many similar cases," Jin Gangzi said.
