Time passed, and five hundred million years went by.
Azure Lotus Immortal Island, Divine Mechanism Peak.
Wang Qingfeng and a graceful purple-skirted woman sat in a green stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"Daoist Wang, these are some resources I collected. See if they're enough to refine a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact."
The purple-skirted woman took out a purple Storage Bracelet and handed it to Wang Qingfeng, gazing at him expectantly.
The Wang Family had been developing in the Sky Moon Immortal Domain for more than a billion years. They had made a name for themselves through Artifact Refining. Those who wanted to ask the Wang Family's Artifact Refiners to refine a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact needed to provide more than six hundred Fifth-Order Dao Materials, somewhat above market price.
Asking a Dao Venerable to refine a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact generally required more than five hundred Dao Materials. If the Wang Family charged the same price, they would be competing with other Dao Venerables for business. By asking for a higher price, they avoided malicious competition with the local forces. The Wang Family had arrived later, and if people still sought out their Artifact Refiners despite their prices being higher than market value, that was no longer the Wang Family's problem. It only meant that the other Dao Venerables' Artifact Refining skills were too poor.
Of course, aside from Dao Materials, the Wang Family also accepted resources such as Great Dao Seeds and Great Dao Sources. The Lineage was flourishing more and more.
More than seven hundred million years ago, the major forces had sent people into the Sea of Ruins to search for Xing Shen. They had suffered heavy casualties, and the number of missing Dao Venerables had exceeded forty. Several hundred Dao Ancestors had disappeared as well.
