Chapter 782: Chapter 657 Taiching Mysterious Domain Aftermath【Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions】_2

Everyone looked at Wang Zijia with varying expressions.

Even more people were carefully observing him with their divine thought.

After exchanging pleasantries with Yu Guangyun and a few others for a while, subtly expressing that Wang Zijia would be staying in Sanyuan City for a time, they bid everyone goodbye.

They led Wang Zijia towards another circle.

As a monk of the three inheritance paths, it was inevitable that he had a broad network of contacts. Those who saw him off were the most flamboyant, let alone those who wanted to teach one path. That’s what was truly impressive!

But with Wang Zijia’s appearance, many people were thrown into chaos.

"I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Yu to actually have such a master!"

"And he seems to be his only disciple?"

"Indeed, this guy’s been mysterious ever since he started his business. His background was unknown. I never imagined he had such a master!"

"If I’m not wrong, this person must be a big shot from the Central Immortal Domain!"

"Probably, I guess he took in Fellow Daoist Yu just on a whim back then."

"Definitely. Otherwise, how could Yu Guangyun not brag about this over the years?"

"..."

Under Yu Guangyun’s deliberate guidance, coupled with the recent situation, Wang Zijia had only shown his face without setting his background or even saying a few words.

Yet, after a small part of the gathering, his background was assumed and set by people on their own. Then, as the word spread, it gradually became more detailed and seemed somewhat true.

This left Wang Zijia at a loss for words.

It seemed that hearsay was not uncommon in the cultivation world!

Wang Zijia was amused by this. The more rumors there were, as long as they weren’t negative, the better for him to establish his future position.

Inheritance Masters, also known as Last Rites Masters, need high credit to break into the market!

...

In this way, two hours quietly passed. As noon approached, Tribulation Crossing Cultivators and Turbid Immortals began to arrive one after another.

During this process, Wang Zijia suddenly noticed that several great cultivators looked unwell, as if they were not fully recovered from serious injuries.

This reminded Wang Zijia that he had a seventh-grade healing pill. This object, which was of no real concern to him, should be considered a treasure to others, right?

Considering the current situation, he should be able to sell it for a good price!

...

With the arrival of the afternoon, the gathering officially began.

Wang Zijia was fully convinced that this was an Xianxia-style business tycoon gathering!

People formed certain circles, mingled in pairs or groups, and casually agreed on collaborations or even directly settled family business matters during their chat.

It was a bit too fashionable!

Compared to those covert round-table meetings and small circles in the Spirit Suppressing Realm, they were like ones from the ancient times!

There was no comparison at all!

During this process, as a ’great cultivator from another Immortal Domain,’ Wang Zijia didn’t have much to offer even though he was incorporated into the circles of Crossing Tribulation and Turbid Immortals.

He didn’t intend to talk business because he just came to socialize.

On the other hand, because of Wang Zijia, Yu Guangyun not only slipped into the East Wilderness Crossing Tribulation circle but was also courted by many people from the Primordial Spirit circle, resulting in quite a few business deals.

In the beginning, he was somewhat apprehensive, fearing to upset Wang Zijia.

However, after noticing that Wang Zijia let him be and even intentionally promoted him, he let loose and enjoyed himself.

There were approximately a dozen ’strange, new great cultivators’ like Wang Zijia at the entire gathering.

According to Yu Guangyun, there were usually only about ten Tribulation Crossing Cultivators at this gathering, and the occasional one or two Turbid Immortals.

Over the past half a year, there were even fewer Tribulation Crossers present at the two meetings.

The fact that this time was bustling, with approximately thirty Tribulation Crossing Cultivators and six or seven Turbid Immortals, was indeed rare.

...

Time quietly passed amidst business discussions and the signing of draft after draft.

A little over two hours had passed when the person in charge of this gathering, a Crossing Tribulation Major Repair of Taiching, stood up.

He walked to the center of the conference hall, where there was a small raised platform like a stage.

"Ding Ding!"

As a clear sound rang out, the voices of the crowd gradually subsided.

"My name’s Pingyang, and I suppose many of you here are not strangers to me. It’s been hundreds of years since I’ve hosted the ’East Wilderness Assembly’. Once a quarter, so many sessions have passed. The last time it was so lively was probably fifty years ago."

Looking slightly wistful, Pingyang Zi scanned his surroundings for a moment before continuing:

"I won’t bore you with more chatter. It’s getting late, and I imagine many of you are eager to get started. So without further ado, let’s move on to the highlight of our meeting: the item exchange session!"

"Well, let’s maintain the old tradition of me throwing out the first pitch."

In the midst of his words, he drew out a house the size of a palm from his hand. As he gently tossed it, mana was stimulated, and a not-so-small virtual shadow of a house with a small courtyard floated above the crowd’s heads.

"This is a Spirit Soldier House, a top-grade magical treasure of the sixth order. It’s a special talisman for the collection and training of Taoist soldiers. Not only can it be used as a portable cave, but its main purpose is that it’s a special mother vessel for Taoist soldiers!"

"Although it is a sixth-grade magical treasure, its value is on par with a seventh-grade Immortal Artifact. It also has a significant chance of growing into an Immortal Artifact."

"All it takes is continual refinement of Taoist soldiers, merging them into it. One day, it will inevitably advance to become an Immortal Artifact."

"By then with a wave of your hand, thousands of Taoist soldiers will pass through. Defeating an Earth Immortal at the same stage is not out of the question, let alone against those less advanced!"

Pingyang Zi, a Tribulation Crossing Peak Cultivator from Taiching Palace, introduced his sixth-order Magical Treasure in the sky with some pride.

Although the notion of defeating an Earth Immortal was somewhat exaggerated, it was indeed a super treasure.

Upon hearing this, many in the crowd had their eyes light up.

Especially since the information about the secret realm of the ruin of the Taiching Palace was no longer a secret. Recently, a large number of Skeleton Dao soldiers have entered the market, constantly impacting the market for Puppets, Taoist soldiers.

Under such circumstances, the value of this magical treasure, which can combine numerous Taoist soldiers, has skyrocketed recently.

Pingyang Zi took a pause, looked around at the crowd, and only when he felt the time was ripe did he say:

"This magical treasure is not for sale, only for trade - preferably with Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Ore. If not, any Immortal material used in the sacrificial refining of immortal treasures can be considered; even damaged Immortal Artifacts can be negotiated."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia observed Pingyang Zi more closely.

With the cultivation level of a Tribulation Crossing Peak, his aura was overflowing. Given that he was exchanging a treasure that had recently soared in price for Immortal ore...

When combining a few pieces of information, there was no need to guess for Wang Zijia to know that this man was also plotting to become an Immortal. He even estimated that the assembly was probably organized for this purpose.

Apart from the traditional cultivation to become an Immortal, the most popular method in Shen Hong’s era was the Artifact Path.

To cultivate your Innate Life Magic Treasure to its limit, to absorb the emerging Immortal Tool while it is transforming, allowing the Immortal Fetus Body to accommodate the Immortal Tool that is about to form, making the Immortal Tool and Dao Body one, to transform into the Immortal Body, to become an Artifact Monk, and thus become an Earth Immortal!

In a way, this method is like refining oneself into a different kind of human-shaped Immortal Artifact!

The advantage of doing so is that it makes the breakthrough much easier and safer.

However, there are also many difficulties. Apart from the need for extremely strong artifact cultivation, after the immortal body is completed, it tends to easily affect the quality of the Immortal Dao Fruit Position and one’s future path.

Most won’t even dream of ascending to be a Celestial Immortal in their entire life.

If this were the Fifth Era, where Earth Immortals could live as long as Heaven and Earth, it would be fine. But in the Sixth Era, Earth Immortals theoretically can only live for a million years, so this path has almost been classified as Heterodox Dao.

However, the Sixth Era had only just begun a few hundred thousand years ago, and there are no Earth Immortals who have died of old age yet.

And after becoming an Immortal, although they theoretically can only live for a million years, there are far more methods to prolong life than before Crossing the Tribulation. Therefore, there are still quite a few who choose this path.

After all, in this era where everyone has refined their Innate Life Magical Treasure, it is easy to become an Artifact Monk.

When there’s no hope on the horizon, this is indeed a good path!

There are quite a few who have taken such unconventional paths. The Sixth Era lacks Spirit Objects, and all of these geniuses with astonishing talents are doing everything possible to become Immortals.

Talisman Masters refine Immortal talismans and become Immortals by transforming the talismans;

Pill Masters use a pile of Immortal Materials and Immortal Pills, throw themselves into the Alchemy Furnace, and practice to become an odd Immortal Pill Body, and thus become an Immortal;

And there are even Spirit Farmers who cultivate an Immortal Plant for thousands of years, implant its roots in themselves, merge the Dao Body, transform it into an Immortal Body, and eventually become Immortals.

They come in all shapes and sizes, each with its own brain hole.
