Chapter 1190: 1194 Li Changsheng, Li Changying

"Ah, so it’s Madam Qian, my apologies, my apologies. Oh, right, there’s a gathering tonight at Xu hour in the Golden Flame Garden, initiated by Taoist Friend Murong. Many friends will be attending, including the disciples of the Immortal Lord Qingxuan. If you’re free, you should join us."

Situ Lei said.

"A gathering initiated by Taoist Friend Murong? We will definitely attend."

Shen Long agreed.

He originally intended to go directly to Qingxuan Garden to find the Immortal Lord Qingxuan for divination. It would be even better if he could meet the disciples of the Immortal Lord Qingxuan.

After chatting for a few moments, Situ Lei took his leave.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu wandered around the streets for a while before returning to their residence.

At Xu hour, the sky darkened, and the streets were crowded with people.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu appeared at the entrance of a vast estate. The signboard bore the words "Golden Flame Garden" in large characters.

"Oh, Taoist Friend Qian, Madam Chu, are you also attending the gathering hosted by Taoist Friend Murong?"

A familiar woman’s voice sounded.

Shen Long turned his head to see Gongsun Ying and a woman in a golden dress with a voluptuous figure approaching.

The aura of the woman in the golden dress was even stronger than Gongsun Ying, with the cultivation of Golden Immortal Great Perfection.

"Fairy Gongsun, this must be Madam Shangguan whom you mentioned previously! I am Qian Long, and this is my wife, Chu Yun. Greetings to Madam Shangguan."

Shen Long greeted.

"I am Shangguan Yuruo. Greetings to Taoist Friend Qian and Madam Chu. Sister Gongsun mentioned that Taoist Friend Qian is also a Dao Pill Master. Perhaps we can exchange notes on alchemy."

The woman in the golden dress spoke warmly.

"I’m indeed interested."

Shen Long smiled and nodded.

"Let’s go inside and chat!"

Gongsun Ying suggested, and the four of them entered the Golden Flame Garden together.

The Golden Flame Garden was planted with a large number of fire attribute Immortal Wood and Immortal Bamboo, rich in fire attribute Immortal Yuan Qi.

Before long, they arrived at a secluded courtyard, where there stood a red stone pavilion. Within the pavilion sat five men and two women, including Murong Hu, Situ Lei, and Jiang Qing.

"I am Murong Hu, greetings to the four Taoist friends."

Murong Hu stood up, cupped his hands in greeting.

"I am Huang Yang, greetings to the four Taoist friends."

A tall and thin elderly man in a yellow robe cupped his hands in greeting.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Gongsun Ying each reported their names, and Jiang Qing, Situ Lei, and the others did the same.

They sat in the stone pavilion and started chatting casually.

"Taoist Friend Murong, didn’t you say that members of the Li Family Immortal Clan would also be attending this gathering?"

Jiang Qing asked.

"Li Family Immortal Clan!"

Shen Long, Situ Lei, and the others all showed expressions of shock simultaneously.

The Li Family Immortal Clan was one of the Six Major Forces of the Green Lotus Immortal Domain, renowned far and wide.

Murong Hu was about to respond when a resonant male voice sounded: "My apologies, there’s been a slight delay."

As soon as the voice fell, a tall and slim young man in a white shirt and a slender young lady in a red dress entered, both emanating the aura of late-stage Golden Immortal.

"I am Li Changsheng, and this is my younger sister Li Changying. Greetings to all Taoist friends."

The young man in the white shirt cupped his hands in greeting, his voice loud and clear.

Murong Hu and the others all stood up to report their names.

Murong Hu invited Li Changsheng and Li Changying to sit down, and they discussed tea and the Dao.

Murong Hu, Gongsun Ying, Chu Buyu, and Li Changying were all Immortal Artifact Masters, exchanging artifact refining techniques, while Shen Long, Shangguan Yuruo, and Huang Yang were Dao Pill Masters, exchanging techniques.

"Fairy Li, you should be able to refine Fourth Grade Dao Pills, right?"

Jiang Qing asked curiously.

Li Changying smiled slightly, saying: "Success rate is about ninety percent, not bad!"

"Fairy Li is being modest. We don’t even reach ten percent success rate."

Shangguan Yuruo smiled bitterly.

"Indeed! Fairy Li truly lives up to being a core member of the Li Family."

Huang Yang praised.

"In our Li Family, I’m not considered top-notch. I’m not a core member; only those who have mastered Supreme Laws are core members."

Li Changying said calmly.

"Even with high-rank external aids, the difficulty of mastering a Supreme Law is immense. I’ve spent over a million years without being able to comprehend a single Supreme Law."

Murong Hu sighed.

"It’s not necessarily required to master Supreme Laws. With high-rank Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts or Dao Techniques, one can equally surpass cultivators who master Supreme Laws of the same realm."

Li Changsheng disagreed.

"High-rank Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts and Dao Techniques are hard to come by, especially Dao Techniques. Across the entire Green Lotus Immortal Domain, there might not even be five Dao Techniques in total."

Situ Lei speculated.

"Indeed! To cast Dao Techniques, one must grasp the corresponding laws; not just any immortal can master Dao Techniques."

Shen Long concurred.

He’d heard of Dao Techniques; Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts, Dao Techniques, and Divine Beasts could contend with Supreme Laws. However, Dao Techniques had stringent cultivation requirements, and not every Dao Technique was suitable for all immortals to practice.

"That’s true. Even with the corresponding laws mastered, insufficient wit means one can’t comprehend and master Dao Techniques."

Li Changsheng said.

"Taoist Friend Li, Fairy Li, does your Li Family have a Dao Technique? Have you studied Dao Techniques?"

Chu Buyu asked curiously.

"We aren’t qualified for that; only those who master Supreme Laws or have cultivation above Taiyi Golden Immortal can study Dao Techniques."

Li Changsheng explained.

"So stringent?"

Situ Lei expressed astonishment and, remembering something, added: "I’ve heard that the Gongsun Immortal Clan mastered a Dao Technique called Qinglian Bloom, but after the Gongsun Immortal Clan was destroyed, this Dao Technique seems to have been lost."

The ancestor of the Gongsun Immortal Clan, through Qinglian Bloom, slew two Daluo Golden Immortal stage cultivators of the Evil God Race, gaining fame in the Immortal Realm.

"My little sister just shares the surname Gongsun, unrelated to the Gongsun Immortal Clan."

Gongsun Ying stated sternly.

To be blunt, a Dao Technique can make Daluo Golden Immortals contest fiercely.

"Fairy Gongsun, rest assured, the Immortal Realm is vast, and many people bear the surname Gongsun. We won’t overthink it."

Murong Hu smiled.

"Qinglian Bloom isn’t lost; a Taiyi Golden Immortal in the Zixiao Immortal Domain wielded this Dao Technique, killing two Taiyi Golden Immortals, though that was over ten million years ago — a story told by clan elders, otherwise I wouldn’t know."

Li Changsheng said slowly.

They chatted for over two hours, exchanging skills and discussing law cultivation.

Through the conversation, Shen Long discovered that both Li Changying and Li Changsheng had cultivated two laws to Great Achievement, fitting for the elites of the Li Family Immortal Clan.

Even Murong Hu had only cultivated the Fire Law to Great Achievement.

Chu Buyu only achieved minor comprehension in law cultivation; even with minor comprehension in the Causality Law, she could surpass those with Great Achievement in Special Laws and Common Laws.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu didn’t reveal their mastery of Supreme Laws, avoiding exposure of the Enlightenment Stele’s existence.

"Speaking of which, Fairy Jiang, you are Senior Xu’s disciple. You should be versed in the art of divination and deduction, right?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I’ve only learned a little, far from proficient."

Jiang Qing said humbly.

"Taoist Friend Murong, aren’t you going to ask Fairy Jiang to divine an opportunity for you?"

Situ Lei asked curiously.

"Fairy Jiang once divined for me, revealing a great opportunity, but it was snatched away." Murong Hu sighed, his face full of regret.
