Lotus City, Lotus Peak.
Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingxiao, Chen Yueying, and others were seated in a blue stone pavilion, discussing something.
"A Primordial Spirit Treasure! An Origin Item! What do you wish to exchange them for?" Wang Changsheng asked.
Chen Yueying and her three companions had obtained a Primordial Spirit Treasure and an Origin Item in the Qiankun Ruins, which they offered to the Wang family in exchange for cultivation resources.
"I would like a third-tier immortal pill to help cultivate an immortal body," Ni Tianlong said, his face full of anticipation.
"I wish to comprehend laws in the Enlightenment Pagoda," Chen Yueying stated.
"I also want a third-tier immortal pill to aid in cultivating an immortal body," Li Qinghuan added.
"I, too, want to enter the Enlightenment Pagoda to comprehend laws," said the Four Seasons Sword Venerable.
"Alright then! Each of you will receive a bottle of Blood Rhinoceros Pills, refined with the eight-colored chaotic beast cores of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and one opportunity to enter the Enlightenment Pagoda to cultivate laws," Wang Changsheng announced.
Chen Yueying and her companions had made a significant contribution by offering the Origin Item and the Primordial Spirit Treasure, so Wang Changsheng was willing to be generous. He planned to refine the Primordial Spirit Treasure into the Enlightenment Pagoda, making it easier for clan members to comprehend laws. Under the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, there were several major powers, such as the Nangong Immortal Clan, the Myriad Treasure Gate, the Myriad Beast Palace, and the Heavenly Pill Sect. Wang Changsheng also hoped that the Wang family's affiliated forces would grow stronger, providing more assistance to the family.
"Thank you, Senior Wang," Chen Yueying and the others said, their expressions filled with excitement as they repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
Wang Changsheng gave them a few instructions before dismissing them.
"Father, this is the treasure. Cousin Haitang used a formation to place it into the Azure Lotus Pendant," Wang Qingfeng said as he took out the Azure Lotus Pendant and handed it to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "You've worked hard. Go back and rest! Do not tell anyone about the existence of that treasure."
Wang Qingling and the other four agreed and departed from Lotus Peak.
"A Thunder Pool! A mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure?" Wang Ruyan's face showed an intrigued expression. They had long heard of the legendary mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures but had never seen one.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan entered a secret chamber. The Four Seasons Painting hung on the wall, and they stepped into it. Wang Changsheng took out the Azure Lotus Pendant and struck it with a spell. The pendant emitted a burst of green light that dissipated, revealing a steep peak on the ground. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as thick bolts of Red Lotus Immortal Lightning struck down.
According to Wang Qingling, all other restrictions on the mountain had been broken. The Thunder Pool could guide the Red Lotus Immortal Lightning, making it, in some respects, comparable to a lightning-attracting bead with a special function. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan reached the mountain peak. Two thick bolts of Red Lotus Immortal Lightning tore through the sky, striking towards them. Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and a massive Tai Chi diagram appeared, shielding them above their heads. The two bolts of Red Lotus Immortal Lightning struck the Tai Chi diagram, which rotated, causing the lightning to dissipate.
He leaped into the Thunder Pool, and vast amounts of lightning power surged from all directions, engulfing his body. He felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, but it had little impact. Upon reaching the center of the Thunder Pool, he felt the lightning power intensify, but fortunately, having cultivated an immortal body, he could withstand it.
"A mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure! This is truly rare!" Qing Xuan's voice rang out.
Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out, hovering in mid-air. A green light emanated from the lotus pattern on the cauldron, and Qing Xuan emerged from within.
"A mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure? Are you certain?" Wang Changsheng asked.
"I still possess that much discerning power. I just don't know its purpose," Qing Xuan replied. He explained that the direction of mutation for a Primordial Spirit Treasure is uncontrollable; no one knows how it will change or what its function will be.
"Qingling and the others found an Origin Item near this treasure. Perhaps its function is to generate Origin Items," Wang Changsheng speculated.
"This treasure can draw Red Lotus Immortal Lightning, and without an immortal body, one cannot reach the central area of the Thunder Pool. Perhaps it's nurturing something," Wang Ruyan conjectured.
"Perhaps! But I remember you previously refined an immortal island. You could use this treasure to provide energy and sustain the entire island's operation," Qing Xuan suggested.
"Using this treasure to power the immortal island? That's an excellent idea, and it could also elevate the island's grade," Wang Changsheng said. He could collect this Red Lotus Immortal Lightning, using it both to attack enemies and to aid in cultivation.
"Given your current artifact-refining skills, this isn't difficult. What you need to do is gather rare materials," Qing Xuan commented.
"There's no hurry for that. First, let's ascertain its functions. If it can indeed generate Origin Items, that would be truly wonderful," Wang Changsheng said, his face filled with anticipation. When Wang Qingxiao and his two companions approached the Thunder Pool, an Origin Item just happened to fly out from it. Wang Qingling's belief that the Thunder Pool could generate Origin Items was therefore quite reasonable.
"Anyway, the treasure is in your hands, so you can slowly explore its functions. This treasure has the potential to advance into a Dao artifact. If you cultivate it well, you might obtain a Dao artifact. That's how I was born back then," Qing Xuan suggested, a reminiscent look on his face.
"A Dao artifact!" Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's expressions turned serious, their eyes burning with fervor.
"I merely said it has the potential. For a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure to advance into a Dao artifact is not so easy. There were many others similar to me back then, and all of them failed," Qing Xuan clarified.
"We understand the preciousness of Dao artifacts. Even if it cannot advance to a Dao artifact, its ability to generate Origin Items is more than enough," Wang Changsheng said excitedly.
The Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron could purify chaotic beast cores for brewing wine, arranging formations, refining pills, and crafting talismans. Setting aside other uses, it made it relatively easier for the Wang family's Grand Unity Golden Immortals to cultivate immortal bodies, though cultivating top-tier immortal bodies remained challenging. Furthermore, Origin Items could allow clan members to cultivate Dao techniques and enhance their strength.
"It would be even better if it could become a Dao artifact," Wang Ruyan said, her face alight with anticipation and excitement.
Wang Changsheng, thinking of something, asked, "If you were to consume it, would you recover immediately?"
"It's a treasure, not an artifact-refining material. I don't need it," Qing Xuan replied.
"I heard the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda is collecting Primordial Spirit Treasures and Origin Items. Can it consume them?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.
"Perhaps! The functions and characteristics of Dao artifacts cannot be identical. It's normal to have some similarities, but they can never be exactly the same," Qing Xuan said. He stretched, then flew back into the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron.
Wang Changsheng put away the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron. He and Wang Ruyan then exited the Azure Lotus Pendant and each went about their respective tasks.
In Chahar City, within a hidden underground cave, Qu was reporting to Yu.
"What? Missing?" Yu's tone was filled with shock.
Fu and Xiao had led a team to the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures but had not returned. All the accompanying clan members had been killed.
"That's right. The news from the Barghut Tribe is that Lord Fu fled alone, and Xiao doesn't know Lord Fu's whereabouts either," Qu reported.
"Could they have been killed by Immortal Monarch Taihao and Abbess Qingyi? Send people to investigate. We must find out what happened; we need to see them alive, or at least find their bodies if they are dead," Yu commanded.
"Yes, Lord Yu," Qu replied, accepting the order and departing.
