Chapter 4597: Selecting Treasures

Wang Changsheng’s gaze swept over the items on the shelves. There were indeed many good things, but unfortunately, he could only choose three.

He carefully examined them and selected three items: a bottle of Dragon Marrow Pills, the Dao technique "Meteor Fire Rain," and the Azure Lotus Guqin, a supreme-grade immortal artifact refined with a primordial spiritual treasure.

The Dragon Marrow Pills could assist a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in cultivating a top-tier immortal body. The Meteor Fire Rain technique spoke for itself. The Azure Lotus Guqin could be given to Wang Ruyan, indirectly enhancing her strength.

"Could you make me appear severely injured?" Wang Changsheng asked politely. He had fought with Celestial Dragon Immortal Monarch for so long, and claiming a draw would certainly arouse suspicion. The outside world believed Wang Changsheng had only opened nine apertures, mastered the law of the soul, and possessed an immortal body. Even with treasures, staying in the Qiankun Pagoda for so long completely unscathed would make anyone, even a fool, realize something was amiss.

"Yes, do you wish to be teleported out?" the Artifact Spirit replied.

"Thank you, Senior, for your assistance," Wang Changsheng expressed his gratitude.

The Artifact Spirit raised its right hand, and a wave of silver mist swept out, enveloping Wang Changsheng's figure.

Hundreds of thousands of immortals were gathered outside the Qiankun Pagoda, their eyes fixed on it.

A spiritual light flared, and Wang Changsheng flew out, his body covered in blood, his aura weak, and his face pale, appearing severely depleted. These were all illusions; Wang Changsheng hadn't expected the Qiankun Pagoda's Artifact Spirit to possess such powerful methods.

"Father, Ninth Uncle!" Wang Qingbai, Wang Qingshan, and others rushed forward to greet him.

Kunlun Dao Ancestor exchanged a glance with Immortal Maiden Longyue. She flew over and handed Wang Changsheng a green jade box, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wang, this Blood Ginseng Pill will help with your injuries. It was refined with the crystal core of a nine-colored chaotic beast in the early Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage."

"Thank you, Immortal Maiden Lin," Wang Changsheng replied, accepting the green jade box. He then flew into the Hall of One Word to purchase cultivation resources.

Others were still attempting the trials, but the focus of many immortals was on the Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng emerged from the Hall of One Word. He had used chaotic beast crystal cores to purchase a large batch of cultivation resources, enough to refine multiple supreme-grade immortal artifacts without issue. He even acquired the materials needed for the Sea-Calming Pearl to advance to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. Once it did, Wang Changsheng's strength would significantly increase. Additionally, Wang Changsheng bought a considerable amount of cultivation resources for Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, Ye Haitang, Wang Qingling, Wang Yingjie, Liu Hongxue, and others.

Unlike before, with Kunlun Dao Ancestor having obtained the Taiyi Creation Pot, Wang Changsheng could confidently trade pure crystal cores with the Hall of One Word. If Yan Yinuo inquired, Wang Changsheng would simply say the cores were purified using the Taiyi Creation Pot. He had indeed asked the Nangong Immortal Clan for help in purifying a batch of chaotic beast crystal cores, with the Wang family only needing to cover the cost.

Wang Changsheng had originally intended to buy Enlightenment Fruits, but the Hall of One Word was temporarily out of stock; otherwise, he would have purchased them. He also bought some rare artifact refining materials, including Wind Falcon Stone, Black Agate Jade Dragon Stone, and Golden Amber Divine Stone. Materials for the Time Gourd to advance to a supreme-grade immortal artifact were also acquired. A significant amount of materials for promoting the rank of the Immortal Island were also purchased. Wang Changsheng also bought a batch of materials for crafting immortal warships. Immortal artificers like Wang Qingfeng, Wang Zongyun, Wang Jiye, and Wang Ruyi could refine Yellow-grade and Black-grade immortal warships, but Earth-grade immortal warships were still beyond their capabilities. Wang Changsheng planned to build an immortal fleet, which would also become one of the family's foundational strengths. The only downside was that the primordial spiritual treasures were sold out and temporarily unavailable.

The artifact spirits of the three Dao artifacts appeared, and the expressions of the immortals stiffened.

"The three of you, enter the Hall of One Word. We have something to tell you," the Qiankun Pagoda's Artifact Spirit said, flying into the hall. Kunlun Dao Ancestor, Yuanfeng, and Happy Dao Ancestor followed closely.

Wang Changsheng and the others waited quietly, full of curiosity.

Half an hour later, Kunlun Dao Ancestor, Yuanfeng, and Happy Dao Ancestor flew out, their expressions composed.

"We are leaving now. Take care of yourselves," the Qiankun Pagoda's Artifact Spirit announced. As soon as it finished speaking, the three Dao artifacts vanished from where they stood.

"Everyone, return! Do what you need to do and strive to improve your strength as much as possible," Kunlun Dao Ancestor instructed, flying back to Kunlun Immortal Island, which then returned along its original path. Yuanfeng Island and Happy Immortal Island also returned along their original routes, leaving the area.

Wang Changsheng summoned an Earth-grade immortal warship and, carrying Wang Qingfeng and others, departed from the location.

Upon returning to Azure Lotus City, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingshan, and dozens of other clan members sat in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Mengbin, Wang Qingbai, Wang Xingyun, and Wang Zhiqilin defeated Supremes, while Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingcheng, Wang Yidao, Liu Hongxue, Wang Yingjie, Ye Haitang, Wang Zongyun, Wang Yulan, Dong Xueli, Bai Linger, and others defeated a Prodigy.

Wang Qingling defeated Golden Kirin, a Supreme in the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and even exchanged a move with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. She chose two items: a set of high-grade immortal artifacts, the Profound Ice Blades, refined with primordial spiritual treasures, and a jar of Myriad Spirit Brew. Myriad Spirit Brew was a Tier 4 immortal wine that could enhance immortal elemental power.

Wang Qingxiao, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Qingbai each chose a high-grade immortal artifact refined with a primordial spiritual treasure, while Wang Xingyun and Wang Zhiqilin chose mid-grade immortal artifacts refined with primordial spiritual treasures. Wang Qingshan and other Taiyi Golden Immortals who defeated Prodigies did not have high-grade immortal artifacts refined with primordial spiritual treasures or Dao techniques to choose from. Instead, they selected body-tempering pill formulas, wine recipes, formation materials, and so on. Only by defeating any of the top ten ranked individuals would they be able to choose truly good items. Defeating a Prodigy did not offer choices of comparable quality.

"Ninth Uncle, this Myriad Spirit Brew is for you and Ninth Aunt to enjoy," Wang Qingling said, taking out an exquisite golden wine jar and handing it to Wang Changsheng. Only because she defeated the number one individual in the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage did she have Tier 4 immortal wine, Tier 4 immortal pills, and high-grade immortal artifacts refined with primordial spiritual treasures available for selection. Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qingbai, and Wang Mengbin, who defeated a Supreme, did not have such excellent items to choose from; otherwise, they would not have chosen high-grade immortal artifacts refined with primordial spiritual treasures.

"You should record your experiences during the trials and compile a compendium titled 'Qiankun Pagoda Trial Records,' so that future clan members who encounter the Qiankun Pagoda's appearance can draw lessons from it," Wang Changsheng instructed. This time, with the Qiankun Pagoda's appearance, Wang family members from the True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Grand Luo Golden Immortal stages all participated in the trials. Their experiences were very valuable, and future clan members attempting the Qiankun Pagoda would be able to learn from them.

"It's a pity I can't remember who I challenged, only their divine abilities, laws, treasures, and spirit beasts," Wang Xingyun said with a hint of regret.

"The Qiankun Pagoda deliberately did that; it's normal not to remember. Otherwise, if the information leaked, those top-ranked Prodigies and Supremes would be targeted," Wang Changsheng explained.

"Having their divine abilities, laws, treasures, and spirit beast information is already quite good. Future clan members can use it when attempting the Qiankun Pagoda. It's just a shame that Qiulin, Xinghai, and others were out and missed this opportunity," Wang Ruyan said with a touch of regret. Many clan members were away and missed this opportunity, and some who were not on the Chaos Continent also missed the chance to participate in the Qiankun Pagoda trials.
