Shangyuque

Chapter 291 The Choice Between the Long and Short Lengths of the Boundless Law: The Purple Extreme Residual Vein Refining Treasure Method (Too tired today, so I'll only update 8600 words).

Once the chisels were nearly finished, Wang Yulou made a more practical request: he would no longer allow the Water Immortal to repair the fire-attribute immortal artifact, the Crimson Bright Lamp.

That's not realistic.

"The forging of my natal magic weapon must be put on the agenda. I need to make a preliminary result within a few years. Could you please give me your advice, my wife?"

Bai Li never expected that Wang Yulou was tinkering with the Crimson Lamp to refine his natal magic weapon. Wang's question left her speechless.

Yes, we can't blame the gossipy Jade Palace Immortal Venerable in the Five Realms Under One Sky Gathering. He's already at the Golden Core stage but hasn't refined his natal magic weapon yet. From the perspective of cultivation alone, the Immortal Venerable had already grasped the true meaning of cultivation long ago.

"Wife? Wife?"

Seeing that Xiaoyu didn't speak, Wang Yulou felt a little embarrassed.

"Um"

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable couldn't quite hold back.

"It's alright. I know I'm weak, but we have to take it one step at a time. My wife, you won't mind that I'm weak, will you?"

Little Fish glared at him; she wasn't some short-sighted fool.

"Of course not, you're right not to refine your natal magic weapon."

At that time, you will have already realized the essence of spiritual practice and understood its true meaning.

All routines, if followed step by step, will eventually lead to failure in overcoming the mountain.

Now, refining treasures again is actually a good thing, as one's vision and foundation have been accumulated even more.

Do you have a general idea of ​​what to do? Tell me first so I can give you some pointers.

It seems that Xiao Wang shows respect to the Water Fairy here and there, which is a bit excessive.

But in reality, he was a former prodigy who had reached the half-step Golden Immortal realm and is now a member of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Xiao Yu would occasionally preach to Xiao Wang, give him psychological support, and offer him various kinds of assistance; these gifts were priceless.

"My idea is that it should be useful, frequently useful, and long-lasting useful."

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable said that one's natal magic weapon must be useful.

Bai Li nodded thoughtfully, agreeing. It wasn't that the Jade Palace Immortal was foolish, but rather that mortals couldn't understand the usefulness of the Jade Palace Immortal's teachings.

Pragmatism never goes out of style. The Eastern Sect's fortress is ugly, but it is indeed useful. The key point is that it will never go out of style.

The usefulness of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable lies in its longevity.

After pondering for a moment, the Water Immortal spoke.

"As treasures for protecting the path, magic weapons come in many forms due to the differences in cultivation methods, directions of practice, and habits among different cultivators."

But as a master craftsman, I imagine you understand that magic weapons, in essence, come in only three types.

They are either very good at fighting, very good at defending, or very useful.

My water lily buds are the third type, and they're very useful. For you, the third type is also the most suitable.

Wang Yulou understood Xiaoyu's meaning, which was still that counterintuitive underlying logic—if you are not at the highest level, then your offensive and defensive capabilities are not that significant, only relative.

Even if a cultivator painstakingly upgrades their natal flying sword to the level of a spiritual treasure, they will still be killed by the might of the Crimson Lamp, a celestial artifact, by being blown away by a powerful brick.

On the contrary, functionality will never go out of style. A powerful natal magic weapon can accompany the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable for a very long time.

"Focusing on functionality in the crafting of one's natal magic weapon? Not bad, that's a good idea."

Hmm, I'm thinking, should I get another treasure for refining the Dao? The Crimson Lamp is very useful, but it's not mine after all, and its form limits its scope of use.

"And another treasure more suited to the art of refining, such as a furnace or cauldron, that can also provide some offensive and defensive capabilities, what does my wife think?"

Xiao Wang's understanding of cultivation is also changing with the version and his own cultivation level. He is now really planning to make up for his lack of strength little by little - there is no possibility of delaying any longer. After attaining enlightenment, strength will be the most important thing!
"Cauldron, Refining Cauldron. You may not know that among the many immortal artifacts in this world, there are two immortal cauldrons that are at the first-grade immortal artifact level."

One is the treasure-refining cauldron of the Buddha of Precious Light and Burning Spirit, named the Hunyuan Three Treasures Gathering Dharma Cauldron.

The other is Bifang's treasure for combat, named the Thunder-Cleansing World-Suppressing Flame Cauldron.

I'm not sure if these two cauldrons are their natal magic weapons.

However, following their approach is likely to be correct, or at least you won't go down too many detours.

Compared to the cauldron, it seems that among the top-grade immortal artifacts of the Great World, there is no furnace at all.

Moreover, even if we all enter the Dao through the water method, we will still need to cultivate the Great Primordial Chaos in the future to ensure that there is no leakage.

By then, your strength and cultivation will have increased, and you will be able to refine the Crimson Lamp of Crimson Light, enhancing the foundation of your natal magic weapon.

Little Fish's suggestion is simple—learn from the ideas of the strongest, or you could say pay homage.

"Is there such a big difference? Qingrui's Transcendent Void-Breaking Supreme Dao Sword is not a sword at all, but it still has the nature of a sword."

"Can the difference in form really be that big?" Wang Yulou asked, puzzled.

He had experienced the profound power of the Supreme Sword of Transcending Limits and Breaking Through the Void. That sword had no sword shape and looked like a ball of golden liquid, but that did not prevent it from being recognized as one of the top immortal swords in the Great World.

“That’s Qingrui, my husband. You’re still a beginner. You need to take it slow.”

Xiaoyu looked at Wang Yulou speechlessly. She understood Wang's ambition. What a load of rubbish Qingrui, he would kill her sooner or later.

It is good to strategically despise your opponent, but it is also necessary to take them seriously tactically.

“That’s true, but my lady, is there any method for refining a precious cauldron that you can pass on to me?” Wang Yulou didn’t treat himself as an outsider.

But this time, the water droplet didn't give him the result he wanted.

"I'm not good at crafting weapons. The Water Drop Immortal Shell almost failed to reach the second rank back then. You can actually ask Bull Demon for help with this."

It's fine to be close to Rakshasa, but Bull Demon and Donglai are also your allies.

And did you know that the Purple Extreme Sword Sect was once a top-tier sect in the entire world?

Wang Yulou nodded slightly. Xiaoyu was right. We shouldn't only look at Rakshasa and disrespect Bull Demon and Donglai.

These two fellow disciples were also his important allies.

Moreover, they have a deep-seated grudge against Rakshasa. The collapse of the Purple Extreme Sword Sect was the death of the Drunken Sword Master, and Rakshasa played a major role in it—directly killing the Drunken Sword Master.

"Of course, back then, top-tier powers weren't as powerful as they are now. Having a dozen or so Immortal Venerables was enough to make a big splash in the world."

The ways of survival vary greatly across different eras.

The current top-tier and second-tier powers are on par, having developed gradually, and are still in the process of development.

In the era before the Sword Saint's demise, there weren't as many Immortal Venerables in the Great World as there are now, and the threshold for becoming a top-tier power wasn't as high.

Back then, a dozen or so Immortal Venerables could wield considerable influence simply by banding together.

"Yes, the Purple Extreme Sword Sect was very powerful back then, and the Bull Demon King inherited the Purple Extreme Sword Sect's legacy, possessing a complete and powerful foundation system."

For example, the method for refining the precious cauldron that you want can definitely be found at the Bull Demon King's place.

Although your natal magic weapon doesn't need to be of a very high grade, laying a good foundation at the beginning will make it easier to enhance and upgrade it in the future.

This matter is neither too big nor too small. Seeking help from the Bull Demon King and Donglai is also part of the faction's internal management after you unlock the Golden Core stage.

"Are these secrets from the past still useful today?" Wang Yulou asked curiously.

As times move forward, much of the knowledge gained during the Industrial Revolution may still be useful in the Information Age, but efficiency is key.

Efficiency, however, reveals the life-or-death difference in the power struggles among the immortals.

The power pursues the optimization of overall efficiency, while the individual pursues the optimization of cultivation efficiency (not just this).

Wang Yulou had no problem comprehending the ancient methods, but he didn't think that the methods for refining magical artifacts from earlier times were still that rare today.

"It's useful. The Bull Demon King has a complete set of inheritances. If you dig into more of them, it can help you replenish your foundation."

Knowing that the methods of cultivation have evolved step by step to their present state is a complex process, and that the era-wide changes in the cultivation path are part of the foundation you need to build.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable nodded slightly, but two things were on his mind.

Firstly, is Xiaoyu implying to herself that she can't rely on her entirely?

It is very likely that before Jade Palace Immortal Venerable attained enlightenment, Xiaoyu was worried that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable might have a fear of fighting.

Having finally placed her bet in the fleeting world of cultivation, choosing a Daoist partner and ally, from the perspective of the Water Drop Immortal Venerable, she most likely doesn't want the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to truly be a complete freeloader.

From the perspective of a single drop of water, her suggestion to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to seek help from the Bull Demon King is quite interesting.

Yes, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has great spirit, but you can't rely on your spirit to ask me for help with everything. If I spoil you, we'll both lose in the end.

Of course, it's also possible that they genuinely don't understand how to refine treasure cauldrons.

Secondly, Wang Yulou thought of the Rakshasa.

Old Deng sent him to help him explore other worlds, as a way of repaying Cheng Dao's debt of gratitude.

In addition, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable will also have the opportunity to cultivate and replenish his foundation in an environment with a lower level of competition than the Great Heaven and Earth.

But in essence, this matter is also about the old Rakshasa betting on the younger Rakshasa.

Since he's willing to come and spend money, why should the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable feel sorry for him?

The Rakshasa family is powerful and wealthy, so it's only right that we bomb them more often, no, let them place more bets.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is not afraid of owing debts now, but he is afraid of not being able to repay the debt of gratitude!
Previously, Mang Xiang suppressed favors, leaving Wang Shi and Wang Yulou, who were below him, with no way to negotiate.

The situation is completely different now.

Wang Yulou not only had the ability to negotiate prices, but also the ability and opportunity to default on his debts. Therefore, others would naturally not easily show him any favors.

This was partly due to Xiaoyu's reminder, and partly because Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was stunned by Rakshasa's revelation of the outer world.

Looking back now, even if Xiao Wang had actually gone, he would have had to first launch a major attack on Luocha—Luocha is truly a powerful and wealthy family, and Xiao Wang's shouting would have been nothing more than Grandma Liu begging for food in the Grand View Garden.

However, there is still a problem troubling the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

"In the end, my lady, the Dharma Form Dharma, the Divine Illumination Dharma, the Boundless Dharma, and the Nascent Soul Dharma..."
I lack the necessary background in either one, how should I choose?

Without a master, there is no established order of succession. Cultivation truly depends on relationships. The old masters have no shortage of followers, while the new prodigies must find their own guides.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang rose to prominence through internal strife. He is not only a top-tier prodigy who has forged the most valuable path to success, but also benefits from his long-term deep involvement in the internal struggles of the Immortal Alliance, so he has no shortage of mentors in cultivation.

"The Boundless Method is the fastest way to increase strength, especially for us relatively younger Immortal Venerables."

In fact, the Nascent Soul Technique is fast, but its risks and costs are too high. If one doesn't delve into its depths, the fight can easily result in death and the annihilation of one's Dao.

Moreover, Qingrui had pushed the Nascent Soul Technique to its limit; according to her, the Nascent Soul Technique seemed to be a dead end.

"I didn't believe it at first, but she's been losing so much lately," Xiaoyu shook her head, quite moved.

Qingrui did not lose her core interests, but she did lose, and this cannot be offset by declaring victory.

All I can say is that Shui Zun is ruthless, both cunning and vicious.

As for the Golden Elixir method in the cultivation world, it should be more accurately described as a 'path', which mainly consists of four types: Boundless, Dharma Form, Divine Illumination, and Nascent Soul.

Mangxiang's formless method is special, as it is something only he can cultivate. However, when Mangxiang cultivates it to a deep level, he will still return to the four major paths, taking the path of inclusiveness, embracing all rivers, and suited to himself.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable attained enlightenment faster than Mang Xiang, but his accumulation of knowledge was not as great. Therefore, after becoming a Golden Core cultivator, he didn't know what to cultivate next.

However, Wang Yulou was somewhat puzzled by Xiaoyu's suggestion that he first work on the Boundless Law.

"I remember it seems that the Immeasurable Dharma is no longer a mainstream practice?"

As a minor figure who is online in both the Immortal Terrace and the Wuji Palace, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is extremely knowledgeable about certain changes in the world.

He understood the differences between the four paths quite well, but he didn't know the specific methods of cultivation.

"Yes, after Qingrui lost, both the Nascent Soul Technique and the Boundless Technique were considered obsolete by the times."

But the Dharma of Dharma Form and the Dharma of Divine Illumination are too far, too far away for you, and unrealistic.

First, eat your fill, then eat well; first, increase your strength, then gradually explore new paths to break through the limits of your abilities.

Wang Yulou nodded slowly. This is similar to how you need a high-level industrial machine tool to have a lithography machine, or you need to go to high school and pass the college entrance examination to go to university.

We need to take it one step at a time.

It's inaccurate to describe the Boundless Dharma as not mainstream; a more accurate description would be 'not strong enough'.

"Understood, please enlighten me, my lady, hahaha."

Xiao Wang shamelessly began his act of living off a woman, but the Water Immortal didn't seem to care.

If you can win over the number one genius of this era as your Daoist partner, of course you have to be willing to invest. You've already invested so many resources, so what's a little bit more in the inheritance of this wonderful technique?

She raised her hand, mobilizing the power of the Dripping Water Cave, and as the creator of Cave 2, slowly condensed a water droplet-shaped magic seed in her palm.

The water droplets emitted a faint spiritual light and looked unremarkable, but when they fell into the body of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, they quickly transformed into endless Dao treasures.

Different supernatural powers, combat experiences, various secrets, the essence of cultivation, insights into water magic, and countless methods of cultivation. The list goes on and on, encompassing all things.

The profound knowledge of the Immortal Venerable of Ten Thousand Years, the key information about the existence of which even those low-level cultivators could not know, entered the mind of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Winning the heart of a beautiful woman may sound awkward, but it tastes delicious.

Perhaps the drop of water still holds back some of its value, but such a gift shows that even if the drop of water holds back a great deal, it will not diminish the Jade Palace Immortal's respect for it.

The morning's initiation, the Eastern Luochariot initiation, and now, a drop of water initiation.

Lucky?
Luck is the key.

If someone who wins every single time and becomes the number one genius in the world can't be respected and still has to struggle and cultivate like a lowly cultivator, then what kind of genius is that?

Only those who overcome countless hardships and dangers to achieve enlightenment can be considered true geniuses. Only those with sufficient pride can attain the esteemed position of Immortal Venerable.

wrong!

If you can overcome hardships and obstacles, and always like to blindly choose high-risk paths, you will most likely be crushed to death while climbing.

Such a person could not attain enlightenment in this era when the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable attained enlightenment.

Perhaps some of the old men on the Terrace of Immortals have walked this path, but the era that belonged to this path has been buried in history!
"My wife."

Having absorbed the secret teachings conveyed through a drop of water, when the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable opened his eyes again, his eyes were remarkably clear.

After attaining enlightenment, he was surrounded by gentle smiles.

Upon attaining enlightenment, an endless treasure trove of spiritual practice will be given away for free.

After attaining enlightenment, stable victories can easily last for thousands of years (the intensity of the struggle is high, but everyone is relatively good at fighting and living).

The Dao Fruit, the Dao Fruit, the Dao Fruit is never a certain state or a certain concept. It has an ethereal form, but it is by no means ethereal.

In fact, in the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, his Dao Fruit actually has two different forms.

Firstly, it represents a leap in power level, transforming from a clumsy application of the essence of the Great Dao into a cultivation of the Great Dao itself that transcends the rules.

Secondly, it is the attainment of status and rank within the Immortal Alliance, somewhat similar to what Rakshasa said: 'Realm is always just a name; the key lies in your relative position.'

Wang Yulou had rendered great service to the Immortal Alliance, participated in the establishment of the fourth sect, and had the support of a faction, the recognition of his fellow cultivators, and the reputation of a prodigy who achieved the fastest Golden Core in the Great Heaven and Earth. All of these combined brought him more energy and support beyond his inherent power. Even the ups and downs in the fates of Shenguang, Mangxiang, and Qiu Mile could be explained using this method of differentiation.

Divine Light belongs to the Golden Core stage where only power is increased, but there is no status, influence, or recognition from fellow practitioners.

Therefore, its power is useless in the face of Bifang's supreme power; eating it will only give you a little pleasure.

Therefore, it was eaten by Bifang.

Similar to Shenguang, Qiu Mile's position as a Golden Core cultivator is completely unrecognized by the Immortal Alliance.

What the future holds depends entirely on Qingrui's mood; it's a very difficult situation.

The decline of Mangxiang was due to the recognition and support it gained when it attained enlightenment. This support was dissolved in the chaotic era when it interfered with the reform process and when Wang Yulou and his immortal alliance vied for ecological niche.

It lost the second type of Dao fruit, leaving only the first type.

From this perspective, Mang Xiang's move to find Bi Fang and then plan reforms was actually a wise one.
Given the numerous conflicts within and outside the Immortal Alliance, between top-tier and ordinary Golden Core cultivators, the Bifang Basket Society, and the Water Venerable Qingrui Cangshan, the probability of Mangxiang dying was actually higher if he stayed in the Immortal Alliance than if he ran away.

Now that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has successfully obtained the Dao Fruit, at that time, he was almost in a situation where he could only charge forward—Mang Xiang had a choice, but Wang Jade Palace Immortal Venerable did not.

In fact, the change in Shui Zun and Qing Rui's attitudes toward Yu Que Xian Zun later reflects the reality that Yu Que Xian Zun had no other choice at the time.

Of course, all of that is in the past. Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is now thinking about how to move forward.

"Wang Yulou, you owe me a lot, so you should cultivate diligently and put it to good use as soon as possible, understand?"

Hearing Xiao Wang call her so emotionally, Bai Li smiled and said that Xiao Wang still had to repay what he owed.

"I'm going to find the Bull Demon King right now, and not just the Bull Demon King."

"Those old Deng guys of the fourth faction, I'm going to take a trip—to beg for alms!"

Flames burned in the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

There's no need to pretend. I'm laying it all out on the table. I'm the weakest, but I also have the most potential. How can you not vote for me?

Let's take advantage of this favor in advance. Whether it will work out is hard to say, but it's never a bad thing to try.

If you can get enough in advance to ensure your own safety, then you've won big.

"Haha, great idea, I'll just give you a heads-up."

You have already attained enlightenment, so you cannot only look at short-term gains. When making promises, you must consider the long-term implications.

This is also part of the Immortal Venerable's cultivation. The stakes are limited; trying to make things complicated... well, it's like betting on when you'll achieve enlightenment—you have to bet carefully, bit by bit.

"Understood, my wife is overthinking it. I have calculated it clearly," Jade Palace Immortal Venerable said with a smile.

Of course he can calculate it clearly.

In Qingxifang, Wang Yulou, who is in the Qi Refining stage, can hand over the large goods store to the sect, giving up the possibility and expectation of long-term benefits in exchange for immediate benefits.

But that's the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage, and the Qi Refining stage doesn't have any long-term prospects.

The immortals' lives are often spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Choosing between short-term and long-term benefits is, of course, part of cultivation.

How could the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable dare to act recklessly?
"Senior brother, that Wang Yulou is a complete ingrate."

The young Taoist priest cursed indignantly.

"Mangxiang was driven to flee by him, and Qingrui was torn to pieces by him."

We supported his attainment of enlightenment, but he turned around and entered the Rakshasa Cave Heaven.

Hey, how can someone be so ungrateful?

Within the blessed land of the Bull Demon Immortal, in the Jiling Puye Pond, a third-grade spiritual creature, a large water buffalo slowly answered.

"If you're not ruthless, you can't become a master."

If we don't achieve the highest status, our investment will be a loss.

Rakshasa is the leader of the fourth faction. It's not just Wang Yulou who's trying to curry favor with him, so what's the rush?

"Just wait, he will come to see you and me soon."

The paradox is that if the people you invest in aren't ungrateful enough, the company won't be able to stay afloat and won't be able to repay your investment.

If the person you invest in can repay your investment, then they must be incredibly ruthless, to the point that even "ungrateful wretch" doesn't quite capture it.

It has to be said that this is very much like the world of cultivation, and also very much like the world of cultivators.

"Looking for us? What do you want? To make us fulfill the promises made to those two Purple Mansions?"

Donglai complained irritably.

They promised Jade Palace Immortal Venerable two Purple Mansion slots, which meant they knew Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's Jade Palace Sect would be in turmoil and would need their support.

Searching the entire world, no one could have imagined that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's path to enlightenment would be so rapid. In the end, the blame actually lies with Qingrui.

Qingrui has really figured out how to be number one in the world – you could say she's number one in some way, anyway, she's incredibly resourceful and capable of causing a ruckus.

"Seeking help, seeking support, ensuring safety—that's all there is to it."

Wang Yulou's actions and choices were predictable. He married over a hundred Daoist partners and even took thirty strands of your grotto essence, all for his own protection.

Now that he's reached a new level, he'll most likely resort to the same old tricks and try to get support from us, his fellow members of the fourth faction.

Wang Yulou revealed his intentions without any attempt to conceal them, but Niu Mo had already anticipated what he would do.

It's not just about anticipating the enemy, but also about anticipating the allies among immortals. This is the kind of strategic maneuvering that takes place at the level of an immortal venerable.

The information and experience accumulated by veteran players are real and useful. With these advantages, they can squeeze out newcomers and seek real victory when the opportunity arises.

"Senior brother, don't mention those thirty strands of grotto essence. Just thinking about it makes me angry. He really doesn't treat me like an outsider. I was just being polite, and he actually accepted it."

The Bull Demon King swam gently in the Jiling Puye Pond, without exposing his junior brother's lie.

Are you just being polite?

Suddenly, the Bull Demon raised his head in surprise, still chewing on grass, but his eyes were full of doubt.

"Here comes Wang Yulou, just as I said."

It silently opened the gate to the grotto, and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable chuckled as he slipped inside, appearing directly beside the Jiling Puye Pond.

Donglai glanced at the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and asked with a question in his mind.

"You're not in a hurry to improve your cultivation to withstand the tribulation lightning, and you still have time to wander around. What, are you here to ask us for the method to create a grotto-heaven?"

It turns out that Immortal Venerable Donglai misunderstood Wang Yulou. He thought that Wang Yulou would not withstand a single tribulation and planned to directly transform his grotto-heaven.

However, Wang Yulou's solution to avoid the tribulation was to leave the world. It's also because Donglai was inexperienced and couldn't have guessed such an absurd solution.

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor's little secret is not something everyone has the chance to know.

"Ancestor, you misunderstand. Yu Lou just misses the two ancestors, that's all."

The moment that "Ancestor" was uttered, it was as if the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had unleashed some supreme divine power.

Immediately, the water buffalo stopped eating grass, and Donglai's eyes became clear.

Do you think they don't know who Wang Yulou is?
The fact that the Donkey King is calling out "Ancestor" suggests that, most likely—no, absolutely—nothing good is coming of it.
This is the meaning of the saying, "No one visits the Bull Demon King unless there's a reason; if they do, trouble is sure to follow."

"Ha, Fellow Daoist Yuque, my senior brother and I are not worthy of your title of Ancestor. It would be more appropriate to call you Fellow Daoist."

Once a female cultivator is given away, it's like water spilled from a bowl. It's just like when their fellow disciples gave Qingrui male concubines back then—they're all fellow cultivators, so don't try to establish any connection!

"Ah, Ancestor, you..."

Xiao Wang is really going all out with this autumn wind.

"I thought to myself, seeing that I've encountered such a small problem, the two patriarchs certainly wouldn't ignore me!"

Xiao Wang's shamelessness could not shake Donglai and Niu Mo's resolve.

Niu Mo glanced at his junior brother, Donglai, and immediately spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, we have the method for refining magic weapons, but the question is, how much are you willing to offer?"

Realizing he couldn't get something for free, Xiao Wang thought for a moment and said...

"I haven't had time to arrange those two Purple Mansion positions yet, so I'll use those two positions to exchange for them."

In this way, neither the cultivation of the two patriarchs will be delayed, and both can be achieved simultaneously.

Donglai and Niu Mo wanted to negotiate the price, but Yu Que Immortal Venerable used the cakes they hadn't paid for yet to pay for them.

You immortals are so powerful, you can't just be making empty promises, can you?

If I'm not just making empty promises, then I'll use those promises to settle the debt and find a clever solution.

"Hahaha, your Eastern Pole Clan is so powerful, you don't need two more Purple Mansion slots."

I was wondering how to bring this up with you, and now, this is perfect—it satisfies both our needs.

Amid Donglai's puzzled gaze, the Bull Demon emerged from the Jiling Puye Pond, transforming into a middle-aged strong man. He raised his hand, and a jade slip appeared before the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

"However, since you call me ancestor, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

I'll give you the crafting methods for ninety-eight different magical treasures. However, most of these treasures have matching cultivation techniques, and most of them are ancient methods.

You need to use them selectively, and besides, you must not divulge this; it is a top secret of my Purple Extreme Sword Sect.

It's so easy, it's ridiculously simple.

It was supposed to be a face scan, but it actually worked.

This cruel world of cultivation completely changed its attitude towards him after Jade Palace Immortal Venerable attained enlightenment.

Xiao Wang accepted the jade slip, spoke calmly, and looked deeply moved.

"Yu Lou, thank you both, Ancestors!"

After exchanging pleasantries and sending the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable away, Donglai asked, puzzled.

"Senior brother, is it really necessary?"

"As for the lowly Golden Core cultivator, we cannot be the first to offend him."

"Just wait and see, he'll stumble sooner or later. When that happens, he'll probably come crying to us, calling us 'Ancestor' again," the Bull Demon replied calmly.

"Wang Yulou isn't that petty, is he?"

"The lower-level Golden Core cultivators harbor an indiscriminate hatred towards those stronger than themselves, regardless of kinship or distance."

Giving him two Zifu slots is both an investment and a promise. Even if our investment doesn't keep up with his pace, the promise still needs to be fulfilled.

Moreover, even now, it still has investment value.

"What value does it have now? The very thing he relied on before his enlightenment has been destroyed by the process of his enlightenment itself."

In my opinion, he's just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. He may have achieved enlightenment quickly, but in terms of future benefits, he can't offer us anything.

Donglai was right, and his judgment was consistent with Xiaoyu's.

With the attainment of enlightenment by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, most of the things he relied on before his enlightenment became insignificant.

This is similar to those leaders in companies who are not worthy of their positions. They are promoted to new positions because they were competent in their old positions, but their abilities lie in the past level, not in the new level.

Donglai was not denying the two kinds of Dao fruits of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable; he simply did not believe that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable could stand out on the stage of Immortal Venerables.

You, Wang Yuque, are a prodigy, but all the immortals are prodigies. Yes, my pride in Donglai is a little lower, but I am still a minor prodigy.
So, what makes you think you can win?

Looking down on Wang Yulou and not having a high opinion of him—this was Donglai's judgment after Wang Yulou attained enlightenment.

Of course, this doesn't affect his outward respect for Xiao Wang, or for both allies and adversaries.

"Those methods of refining treasures have almost spread throughout the Immortal Venerables. Let him have them; there's no loss in it. Just send him away. As for the future, let's wait and see. No one can be sure what the future will be like."

The Bull Demon didn't explain much, but it actually believed that Xiao Wang was of great value.

A Daoist companion is like a drop of water, and his territory is beside a Rakshasa. Such a minor king is worth a try.
-
The contents of the jade slip given by the Bull Demon King allowed the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to directly experience for the first time the immense value of the Purple Extreme Sword Sect's legacy.

It contains the methods for refining many spiritual treasures.

It should be noted that spiritual treasures are already at the highest level of magical artifacts, second only to immortal artifacts. Immortal artifacts require an understanding and mastery of the Great Dao to be fully activated, while spiritual treasures do not.

Therefore, many top-tier spiritual treasures can actually rival immortal artifacts in certain aspects.

The Rainbow Binding Rope, the might of the sun, is unmatched at dawn; in the cycle of life and death, the rainbow locks away demons.

Heavenly Might Hammer.
The nine-legged, five-colored cauldron encompasses all nine methods, unifying the five elements; it is suitable for refining elixirs and treasures, and has no limitations.

Wang Yulou's consciousness finally settled on the nine-legged, five-colored cauldron.

"All nine methods are included" means that all nine methods of alchemy can be practiced using this cauldron.

The phrase "five elements in one" means that anything you refine will be effective, and any method of refining it will be effective.

The following descriptions of alchemy, treasure making, and other uses directly indicate the intended use of this treasure.

Of course, there's probably some exaggeration involved, but given Lingbao's level of expertise, even if there was some exaggeration, it's unlikely to be too much.

However, looking at the jade slip that recorded part of the treasure-refining inheritance of the Purple Extreme Sword Sect, Xiao Wang suddenly felt a little itchy.

The nine-legged, five-colored cauldron is very powerful, but the other treasures are also quite formidable.
Putting aside the boasting, the Azure Fox Moonlit Sword is an illusionary sword with maximum special attack power.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan has both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as many other ingenious uses, encompassing all three basic functions of a magical artifact.

The Universe Lock can prevent enemies from escaping and is also a top-tier magical treasure for combat.

The Yin-Yang Birth and Death Plate seems to be a treasure that helps one to comprehend the Tao, and the idea of ​​'seeing the Great Tao' is quite mysterious.

The Heavenly Divine Wooden Staff is quite interesting; it seems to be designed for breaking shields and dealing true damage. Under the Heavenly Divine Technique, nothing can stop it.

The Morning Rainbow Demon-Binding Rope is a control-type spiritual treasure, different from the Qiankun Lock, which is used to find people. The Demon-Binding Rope is used to bind people.

In comparison, the nine-legged, five-colored cauldron was not so appealing.

The Nine-Legged Five-Colored Cauldron is strong in its compatibility, but as a master of alchemy, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable certainly understands that compatibility is a product of sacrificing performance.

Ultimate performance and compatibility cannot be achieved simultaneously.

Other magical treasures also have many wonderful uses.

Even if each of these magical treasures is not so up-to-date, isn't an old Bentley still a Bentley?
It's a tough choice, extremely tough.
