Wang Yongqi

Mystic Yang Marketplace was bustling with people, and the streets were filled with noise, creating a vibrant and prosperous scene.

A Quiet Manor, with artificial hills, gardens, and a waterwheel promenade.

A tall, slender Red-Robed Youth and a woman in a red dress with a graceful figure sat around Zhang Qing stone table, where True Man Qingyang was reporting to them.

"Both Master Ice Silkworm and Shen Long have advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The woman in the red dress exclaimed in surprise.

Fairy Skyfire, Nascent Soul Early Stage.

The Human Race and the Barbarian Race race clashed fiercely. The Mystic Yang Sect lost two Nascent Soul Cultivator and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the Mystic Yang Sect had a deep foundation and produced many talented individuals.

Fairy Skyfire had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for over a hundred years, and she never expected that Shen Long would actually form his Nascent Soul.

"Yes! It's unbelievable. He was in the Qi Refining stage when I had already formed my core, yet he passed away before me."

True Man Qingyang sighed.

"His cultivation speed is almost catching up with mine; this person must have a great fortuitous opportunity."

The Red-Robed Youth guessed.

Wang Yongqi, with a fire-attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, is a disciple of True Monarch Xuanyang and a newly promoted Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Mystic Yang Sect.

True Man Qingyang took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with azure light, cast a spell, and said, "The people from the Spirit Control Sect have arrived; they are the ones leading the group."

"Quickly, invite them over."

The Fairy Skyfire gave the order.

True Man Qingyang nodded and gestured on the Dharma Disk.

A quarter of an hour later, Gan Kong led Shen Long and Master Ice Silkworm in.

Gan Kong is currently in the Core Formation Mid Stage, stuck at a bottleneck for over a hundred years, and has yet to break through it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Shen, congratulations!"

Fairy Skyfire smiled slightly and greeted them.

"Fairy Xu, Daoist Wang, it's been a long time."

Master Ice Silkworm said with a smile.

Shen Long smiled slightly and said, "Have the fellow Daoists from the Tyrant Blade Villa, Purple Firmament Gate, and Seven Rosy Clouds Sect not arrived yet?"

"They haven't arrived yet; they're probably on their way..."

Before Fairy Skyfire could finish speaking, a hearty laugh rang out, "Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Shen, you two, master and disciple, have arrived early!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, thin man in a blue robe and a voluptuous woman in a gold dress walked in. Both of them were Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"My name is Chen Yidao, and I greet you fellow Daoists."

The man in the blue robe clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke in a loud voice.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, your Spirit Control Sect is truly full of talented people! You and Fellow Daoist Shen, master and disciple, have both advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm."

The woman in the gold dress spoke with an envious tone.

Fairy Caixia, Nascent Soul Early Stage, comes from the Seven Rosy Clouds Sect.

"Fairy Han, your disciple has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, hasn't he? Many years ago, he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage."

"Master Ice Silkworm asked."

Fairy Caixia sighed and said, "She failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and collapsed at the Inner Demon Tribulation."

"The Inner Demon Tribulation is not easy to overcome. Nine out of ten cultivators who fail to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm fall at the Inner Demon Tribulation."

Fairy Skyfire said, gesturing for them to sit down.

"Yes! Things that weaken the power of Inner Demon are very precious. Some cultivators have particularly powerful Inner Demon, and even with elixirs to weaken Inner Demon, they still succumb to the Inner Demon Tribulation. Otherwise, Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn't be so rare."

Wang Yongqi echoed.

"Cultivating immortality is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. Failure means death and the annihilation of your cultivation. There's nothing more to say."

Chen Yidao disagreed.

Six Nascent Soul Cultivator sat around a blue stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fairy Xu, I heard you subdued a fourth-tier Li Fire Falcon. That's quite fortuitous opportunity! Having a fourth-tier Spirit Bird by your side can be a great help in battles or traveling."

"The Fairy Caixia said in an envious tone."

"Its Bloodline Purity is only three, Divine Ability are only average."

Fairy Skyfire sighed, then looked at Master Ice Silkworm and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, is there a way to improve the Bloodline Purity?"

"It's very difficult to improve its Bloodline Purity in a short period of time. It might be able to improve its Bloodline Purity by consuming the Essence Blood and Demon Core of its higher-level counterparts. The higher the rank of the Spirit Bird Spirit Bird Spirit Insect, the more difficult it is to improve its Bloodline Purity. In addition, some rare and exotic fruits can also help, but it's very difficult."

Master Ice Silkworm spoke slowly.

"Yes! For Spirit Beast Spirit Bird below the fourth rank, it's relatively easy to improve the Bloodline Purity. But it's much more difficult at the fourth rank, since they are fourth-rank Spirit Bird and their Divine Ability won't be too weak. Fairy Xu is too modest."

Chen Yidao said.

Fairy Skyfire smiled calmly and changed the subject, talking about the Barbarian Race.

"About half a year ago, a friend of mine and his companions entered the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasure. They encountered Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Barbarian Race, resulting in heavy casualties. Only one person managed to escape."

Fairy Caixia sighed.

"The Immortal Burial Mound! Barbarian Race cultivators."

Shen Long remembered the Magnetic Essence Bead.

The Barbarian Race cultivators are sending people everywhere to search for the Magnetic Essence Bead, which must be of great use. As for its purpose, it is estimated that only a small number of the Barbarian Race high-ranking members know about it.

"The Barbarian Race are inherently very strong. In a one-on-one situation with the same cultivation level, it would be difficult for us to kill a Barbarian Race cultivator. I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen killed many Barbarian Race Core Formation Cultivator back then."

Wang Yongqi said with a smile.

"Barbarian Race at the Nascent Soul Realm stage aren't so easy to wipe out. Speaking of which, does the Immortal Burial Mound contain anything particularly valuable?"

Shen Long looked on with curiosity.

"The Immortal Burial Mound is heavily guarded, and it certainly contains many valuable items. Fellow Daoist Shen, do you still remember Chen Changsheng?"

Fairy Skyfire said.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Chen Changsheng? I remember him. He performed very well in the great battle, killing several Golden Core Realm Barbarian Race."

"He has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. I heard it was due to a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity he obtained from the Immortal Burial Mound of Immortals. If it weren't for something good, who would be willing to go to the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasure?"

Fairy Skyfire said.

"What I mean is, what are those Barbarian Race cultivators looking for in the Immortal Burial Mound Immortal Burial Mound? Could there be Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure there?"

Shen Long said.

"Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure? Fellow Daoist Shen, you must be joking. Only a fifth-tier Artifact Refiner can forge Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure. Considering those that were damaged or taken to the Spirit Realm by Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, there aren't many Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure left in the Gan Yang Realm. Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure Spirit Treasure far too advanced for us. Having even one is already quite good."

Wang Yongqi remarked with emotion.

"Indeed! Looking across the entire East Hua Cultivation World, there aren't many Nascent Soul Cultivator who possess Spirit Treasure treasures; most fellow cultivators use complete sets of Law Treasure."

Chen Yidao echoed.

Master Ice Silkworm nodded and said, "The materials for refining Spirit Treasure are quite precious, and obtaining even one is not easy. This is one of the reasons why Spirit Treasure are so valuable."

After chatting for more than two hours, Fairy Skyfire suggested exchanging cultivation resources, and Shen Long and the other four had no objections.

Fairy Skyfire took out dozens of materials, and Shen Long's gaze fell on a golden jade box containing two golden Demon Core cores.

"Fairy Xu, what kind of Demon Core is this?"

Shen Long pointed to the Demon Core and asked.

"This is the Demon Core of a fourth-tier early-stage Golden Flame Ant. I killed it in the Ten Thousand Fire Valley. You can exchange these for materials of equal value."

Fairy Skyfire said.

Shen Long took out a Red Jade Box and handed it to Fairy Skyfire, saying in a telepathic message, "There are two early-stage fourth-tier Li Fire Falcon Demon Core inside. Fairy Xu, I'll exchange them for the two Golden Flame Ant Demon Core."

Fairy Skyfire opened the jade box, glanced at it, nodded, and agreed to the exchange.

Fairy Skyfire had exchanged most of the items she brought out, and in return, she had acquired quite a few things that suited her taste. She sat down contentedly.

Wang Yongqi stood up, flicked his sleeve, and after a flash of Red Rosy Clouds, more than a dozen materials appeared on the table, including a thousand-year-old Green Wind Grass.

Shen Long exchanged a fourth-tier Demon Core for the Wang Yongqi Green Wind Grass. After the exchange was completed, Shen Long stood up and took out dozens of materials, mostly Monster Beast Material, including fourth-tier Demon Core, animal hides, and animal bones.

"In exchange for materials of equal value, alchemy materials will be given priority."

Shen Long said.

Chen Yidao took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long, saying in a telepathic message, "Fellow Daoist Shen, these are two early-stage fourth-tier Iron Fire Ant Demon Core. I'll exchange them for five Yin-Yang Pulse Nourishing Pill."

Shen Long nodded, agreeing to the exchange.

Besides the Demon Core of a fourth-tier Iron Fire Ant, Shen Long also obtained the Demon Core of a fourth-tier poisonous scorpion. He had exchanged most of the items he brought out.

After a short while, the exchange ended, and Shen Long and his six companions smiled as they all received some items they needed.

"Four fellow Daoists, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest well first. Master Seven Stars and Granny Xuemei will also be here in a while."

Fairy Skyfire said enthusiastically.

Master Seven Stars and Granny Xuemei are among the Five Immortals of Donghua, and have been famous for many years.

"Did they come here specifically to attend the Mystic Yang Dharma Assembly?"

"Master Ice Silkworm asked in confusion."

"No, they had some business to discuss with Senior Brother Han and just happened to come over so everyone could get to know each other. Maybe they have something you need."

Fairy Skyfire explained.

The four members of the Master Ice Silkworm suddenly realized and nodded.

After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Long and his three companions said their goodbyes and left.

"This Fellow Daoist Shen is quite capable! To produce so many materials from Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast, he must not have been in the Nascent Soul Realm for very long! Where did he get so much stuff?"

Wang Yongqi asked, completely bewildered.

"He's Alchemist, maybe he traded pills for it! Or maybe someone asked him to refine pills for them, and these things were his payment."

Fairy Skyfire guessed.

"Could he have killed them?"

Wang Yongqi put forward a bold conjecture.

Fairy Skyfire nodded. "That possibility cannot be ruled out. This person participated in the war against the Barbarian Race, achieved great military exploits, and possesses great Divine Ability. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, his strength will not be weak."

"Speaking of which, there has been no news of him for over a hundred years since the great war. Could it be that he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm long ago and has been in Secluded Cultivation all these years?"

Wang Yongqi asked in confusion.

"Junior Brother Wang, why are you so concerned about Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Fairy Skyfire asked in confusion.

"His cultivation speed is no slower than mine. I'm curious how he cultivates so quickly and what great fortuitous opportunity he has obtained."

Wang Yongqi explained.

"He's Alchemist. It's normal for him to refine pills that enhance Law Power, which would speed up his cultivation. Anyway, we have no conflict of interest with him."

Fairy Skyfire said.

"I know, I'm just curious."

Wang Yongqi said solemnly.

He was accepted as a disciple by True Monarch Xuanyang as soon as he entered the sect and was a key figure in the Mystic Yang Sect's cultivation. He was arrogant and looked down on his fellow disciples.

Shen Long's cultivation speed was catching up with Wang Yongqi's. He was Divine Ability powerful and could even refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill. Wang Yongqi couldn't help but compare himself to Shen Long.

Heroes revere heroes!

Fairy Skyfire's face showed a look of sudden realization, and she said, "I'm also curious. Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't say, who knows what he's been through?"
