Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Moonlight White Carp

Qingping Water Charm.

When Jiang Sheng saw the two demons, he couldn't take his eyes off them for a moment.

When Jiang Sheng raided Wanxian Immortal Palace and encountered the group of demon lords from Bibo Pool, he was deeply impressed by the Moonlit White Carp and the Green Duckweed Water Spirit. If things hadn't gone wrong at the time, Jiang Sheng would have definitely subdued the Moonlit White Carp and the Green Duckweed Water Spirit and raised them in his own Little Penglai.

Now that he has encountered such an opportunity again, Jiang Sheng is not willing to miss it.

At the same time, Lin Fan recalled his intelligence network: "I remember, the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit are two demon lords brought by the Azure Wave Dragon King of the Great Wilderness Realm, right?"

"Later, the Azure Wave Dragon King perished, and the demon lords of the Azure Wave Pool either died or fled. I remember someone saying that the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit were eventually killed by a female immortal in the Jade Pool."

"I never expected that the female immortal still retained the bloodline of the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit."

Jiang Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "Thank goodness. I thought I would never find them again. I never expected that there would still be the bloodlines of the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit in the Nine Provinces Realm. I want to buy both of them."

As Jiang Sheng spoke, he began to contact the seller who sold the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit, while Lin Fan sighed, "Everyone says that Penglai Lingyuan is a cold and aloof person who dislikes worldly affairs and is difficult to get along with."

"Who would have thought that our aloof and noble True Lord Lingyuan would be so fond of raising such people? In my opinion, you are not just aloof, you simply dislike people."

Jiang Sheng wore a faint smile, clearly satisfied with the deal. In response to Lin Fan's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, reflection, and a sense of satisfaction), he simply replied casually, "So what?"

"Throughout my journey to this day, I have always felt that raising mythical birds and beasts, and spirits and plants is better than communicating with people."

"Speaking of which, I encountered a small world that separated from the Mountain and Sea Realm deep in the Chaos. In that small world, there were also rare beasts like the Nine-Tailed Cat. After the Mountain and Sea Realm merges into the Three Realms, I will move a litter of Nine-Tailed Cats to my Little Penglai to raise them."

Cat-nine-tails?
Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "Is it that nine-tailed cat that can reach the highest level of Mahayana, with nine tails, each tail representing a life?"

"That is truly a rare beast in the heavens. After all, if one has a nine-tailed cat as their natal spirit beast, then one basically shares nine lives with the nine-tailed cat."

"If it weren't for this reason, the nine-tailed cats of all the heavens and myriad worlds wouldn't have been captured so completely, to the point that they are now almost nowhere to be seen."

"If there is a nine-tailed cat in that small world, and it eventually belongs to my Eastern Heaven Dao Family, then the fortune of my Eastern Heaven Dao Family will rise to another level."

Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Yunxuan, I had someone take care of the nine-tailed cat when I was still in that small realm. From now on, all the nine-tailed cats in that small realm will belong to me. How about hiring one of them from me?"

Lin Fan shook his head: "No need. I've already decided on my spirit beast. Either I'll hatch a fire dragon like my Uncle Yuan Yi did, or I'll hire a fire qilin from the qilin clan."

"If possible, I would prefer to bring back a golden crow."

Jiang Sheng looked at Lin Fan with disbelief in his eyes: "You really dare to think, Lin Yunxuan. You're either a divine fire beast or a fire bird that conceives the sun."

"If you really want to invite the Fire Bird, why don't you go to the Fire God Palace in the Southern Realm of Zhu Ming?"

"The crested ibis might offer you some convenience."

Lin Fan sighed, "My path is related to the Sun Fire. Although the Southern Bright Fire is good, it is not my path."

"Yuan Chen, do you think there are any wild golden crows left in all the myriad realms?"

Jiang Sheng ignored Lin Fan's whimsical thoughts and continued searching for what he wanted. He had originally come for the Law of Randomness and the Sword Bamboo Bright Fruit, but he didn't expect to get the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit. This made Jiang Sheng even more excited for this trade fair.

It was a trade fair mainly organized by the upper three realms of the major Xuanming Dao Sects and Chunyang Holy Lands. Any one of them was a large and powerful organization with plenty of good stuff.

Just as Jiang Sheng continued his search, the person who had previously sold the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit contacted him again: "I also have a Plain Heart Moontail Fox. I wonder if the buyer would like it?"

Clearly, the seller believed that Jiang Sheng was willing to pay a price for these flashy but impractical monsters just for their looks, so he even brought out a demon like the Pure Heart Moon-Tail Fox.

Jiang Sheng was slightly surprised; his Little Penglai didn't actually have the Pure Heart Moon-Tail Fox: "What's the price?"

The seller replied, "I don't want the money, please come in person to discuss this."

Interview?

After a moment's thought, Jiang Sheng immediately gave his location: "East Branch Hall, Jia Chou 3".

As Jiang Sheng revealed his location, two female cultivators looked at each other in a side room inside the Central Hall.

"The Eastern Branch Hall, isn't that the home ground of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School?"

"Jia Chou, doesn't that mean that it is the core true disciple from the Eastern Heaven Orthodox lineage?"

Leaving aside the other branch halls, the room numbers in the East Branch Hall are all traceable. For example, those starting with Jia (甲) must be the orthodox lineage of the Eastern Heaven, while those starting with Zi (子), Chou (丑), and Yin (寅) represent the core true lineage, and those starting with Mao (卯), Chen (辰), and Si (巳) represent ordinary true lineage. For instance, those starting with Yi (乙) belong to various immortal sects under the Eastern Heaven, and those starting with Bing (丙) are cultivation families, and so on.

Everything was in perfect order, reflecting the importance that Taoism in the East places on rules and regulations.

The combination of Jia, Chou, and San indicates that Jia represents the orthodox lineage of the Eastern Heaven, suggesting that the person must have originated from the same lineage as Qinghua, Penglai, or Tianhe. Chou signifies that the person must be a core disciple, or at least someone who has held a core position within the Daoist sect. San also signifies that the person is among the most outstanding.

These three words perfectly encapsulate the noble status of the people in that room.

"Sister, are we really going to that Eastern Branch Hall? The people sitting inside must be important figures from the Eastern Heaven Daoist School."

"If we don't go, wouldn't we offend them even more? Besides, don't we want the treasure we found anymore?"

For a moment, the two female cultivators fell silent.

They are not true disciples of Yaochi, nor do they even belong to the Kunlun Great Thousand World; they are merely from a middle-thousand world attached to the Yaochi Holy Land.

Both of them came from the Moon Glaze Realm of the Middle Thousand Worlds, and were the Supreme Elders of the Changsu Palace in the Moon Glaze Realm.

Changsu Palace is one of the top immortal palaces in the Moon Glaze Realm, with a Nascent Soul level ancestor presiding over it. The two sisters are also disciples of that Nascent Soul level ancestor, and were given the Daoist names Suxin and Suyue.

The reason these two women were able to come to the Nine Provinces Realm was because the Yaochi Holy Land issued a decree to all its subordinate worlds, and the decree of the Golden Mother Yuanjun is still in their Changsu Palace.

A great war that will affect all realms and myriad realms will be unavoidable, not to mention Changsu Palace, even Yue Liu Realm cannot escape it. If they are afraid to fight, Yue Liu Realm will probably be wiped out by Yaochi Holy Land before the war even begins.

Therefore, the two sisters, as True Lords dispatched by Changsu Palace, gathered a group of disciples and followers and set off with the Yaochi Holy Land. It was during this period that the two sisters gained a clear understanding of the various holy lands in the myriad realms.

Previously, I had always stayed in the Moonlit Realm, thinking that the Moonlit Realm was the world, the universe. After all, there were so many minor worlds surrounding the Moonlit Realm, all dreaming of ascending to the Moonlit Realm.

Only after the two sisters truly broke through the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm and became True Lords of the Void Refinement Realm did they realize that the Moon Glaze Realm was actually nothing special, and that above the Moon Glaze Realm was the Kunlun Realm.

And just like the Moonlit Realm, the countless smaller worlds surrounding the Kunlun Realm are also numerous.

Changsu Palace is considered a top power in the Moon Glaze Realm. There are only two other immortal palaces in the entire Moon Glaze Realm that are like Changsu Palace. In the Kunlun Realm, even ten Changsu Palaces cannot compare to a marginal power in the Kunlun Realm.

Which immortal palace or aristocratic family that can establish itself in the Kunlun Realm doesn't have an ancestor at the Integration level in charge, and which doesn't have three or five True Monarchs at the Refinement stage?
As the ruler of Kunlun Realm and all its subordinate Middle and Lesser Thousand Worlds, Yaochi Holy Land is filled with True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms as numerous as the stars, and there are even many Mahayana Immortal Monarchs, not to mention the Pure Yang Dao Monarch who looks down on all the worlds from above.

From that moment on, the two sisters realized the vastness of the world and the immensity of the universe.

When the two sisters arrived at the Nine Provinces Realm with the fleet of the Yaochi Holy Land, there were countless True Monarchs at the Void Refinement Realm, who were rarely seen in ordinary times, and there were also countless True Monarchs at the Integration Realm. Even True Monarchs at the Fifth Tribulation Realm and Great Ascension Immortal Monarchs could be seen everywhere.

As for the Pure Yang Dao Lords, it can only be said that this was the first time the two sisters had seen so many Pure Yang Dao Lords appear, and it was also the first time they had witnessed what the Xuanmen Calamity and the struggle for Dao lineage were all about.

The Void Refining True Monarchs, who rarely clashed and valued peace in the past, and the Body Integration True Monarchs, who were rarely seen and considered pillars of their sects, were falling in droves here, as if the dead and wounded were not just high-ranking immortals of the Upper Three Realms. Even Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs and Mahayana Immortal Monarchs were being eliminated like pawns in a game of chess.
Those fierce battles once made the two sisters think they would perish in the Nine Provinces Realm. Fortunately, they were blessed with good fortune and not only survived to the end but also gained a lot of battle merits, which was many times better than the Night Jade Palace and Bright Illumination Sect, which were also in the Moon Glaze Realm.

Of the three True Monarchs of the Refinement Realm sent by the Night Jade Palace to fight alongside the Upper Sect, two perished, and the one who survived was left with a crippled body. It would take hundreds or thousands of years for him to fully recover from his injuries, and even if he did, it would be difficult for him to have any further opportunities. As for the two True Monarchs of the Bright Illumination Sect, neither of them survived; they both died on the battlefield of the Bright Flame Sea.

The two sisters not only survived, but also gained many opportunities, which made them extremely fortunate.

The two women were unaware of some of the reasons, but if someone were to do some research, they would find that among all the affiliated forces of the Yaochi Holy Land that participated in the battle, whether they were sects or aristocratic families, the female cultivators had a higher chance of surviving than the male cultivators.

The two women were right to think that surviving was a stroke of luck, since the heaven of Kunlun Realm was Yaochi.

After the Xuanmen Calamity ended, the two women also amassed considerable wealth. Whether it was the spoils of war obtained from the True Monarchs of the Seven Sects Alliance, the benefits they plundered from various places, or the rewards given by the Yaochi Holy Land, the two women made a fortune.

This also foreshadows the great calamity of the Xuanmen sect, where the victor takes all.

The two wealthy women came to this trade fair to exchange for a batch of rare and precious materials needed by Changsu Palace before returning to the Moon Glaze Realm, and also to exchange for a batch of magical treasures and artifacts for themselves.

To the two girls' surprise, the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit, which they thought would be unsellable, not only sold but also fetched a high price. This excited the two girls immensely. After some thought, they decided to also sell the precious Moonlit Fox, which they had originally intended to give to their elder sister, Fairy Suxin, as her natal spirit beast, in order to obtain resources to explore the opportunity that was of vital importance to the two sisters.

The two women never expected that the one who bought the Moonlit White Carp and the Azure Water Spirit from them was actually a True Lord of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School.

During this great calamity of the Xuanmen, the two women had come to fully understand how terrifying the Dongtian Dao family was, and they had also witnessed firsthand how powerful the True Lords of the Dongtian Dao family were. It would have been better if they hadn't known their origins, but after learning about them, the two women, who came from the Changsu Palace of the Yue Liu Realm, always felt somewhat inferior.

"Sister, why don't we stay here and let that True Lord come to us instead?"

"Anyway, we don't know each other, and we might never see each other again after the transaction."

Su Xin nodded at Su Yue's words, and then Su Xin contacted Jiang Sheng and asked him to meet her at the Zhongfen Hall.

Jiang Sheng didn't have as many complicated thoughts as the Su Xin and Su Yue sisters. Since he was also going to the Zhongfen Hall to find the Zhu Huan Demon Lord and the others, Jiang Sheng readily agreed.

"Yunxuan, I'll go to the Zhongfen Hall first. If anyone here is selling Sword Bamboo Bright Fruit, remember to buy it for me."

"No problem, no problem."

After greeting Lin Fan, Jiang Sheng left the East Branch Hall and went to the Central Branch Hall. Following the location on the communication jade pendant, he found the room where Su Xin and Su Yue were located and saw Su Xin guarding the door.

"Please forgive me for troubling you, True Lord."

Unable to pretend she didn't know, Su Xin still went to the door to greet Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just the seller showing respect to the customer. He said it was alright and followed Su Xin into the room, where he immediately saw the Su Xin Moon-tailed Fox.

It must be mentioned that although the Moon-Tailed Fox was only at the Nascent Soul stage and looked to be underage, its moon-white fur was extremely soft and shiny, and it was also very well-behaved. In particular, the crescent moon mark between its eyebrows and its fox tail that emitted a faint moonlight made it a very attractive creature.

Jiang Sheng immediately took a liking to the Plain Heart Moon-Tailed Fox: "It looks good, but it's a pity that its bloodline is not fully mature yet."

"However, if we provide it with some resources, build it a nest with moon orchid and moon jade, and feed it some laurel flowers and moon orchid fruits, it should look even better when it reaches the Refinement Void Realm and its bloodline is fully mature."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's calm tone, Su Xin and Su Yue exchanged a helpless glance. The main reason why the two women wanted to sell the Su Xin Moontail Fox was not only to raise resources, but also because they might not be able to afford to raise it. What use is a natal spirit beast if it can't even grow to the Void Refinement stage?
Things like Moon Orchid and Moon Essence Jade are known to be valuable, but they are extremely difficult to obtain. Only the core True Lords of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School can talk about them so casually.

The Su Xin Yuewei Fox obediently lay on the ground. With its intelligence, it knew that it was going to be sold. However, Su Xin and Su Yue were not the first to get it. If these two female cultivators could not afford to raise it, why not find someone else who could?
Moreover, Su Xin Yuewei Fox is naturally spiritual and can use moon worship to divine crises. It is extremely sensitive to danger, yet it did not sense the slightest threat from Jiang Sheng. There was only a faint aura of the sun and moon that made people feel close to him. This feeling made Su Xin Yuewei Fox even more afraid. It could sense threats from Su Xin and Su Yue, but not from Jiang Sheng. This was enough to explain everything.

Therefore, the Pure Heart Moon-tailed Fox was extremely obedient and dared not do anything reckless.

Jiang Sheng was also very satisfied with the fox's performance: "You two fellow Daoists said you don't want money or goods, so just name your price."

Jiang Sheng acted so generously that he seemed unaware of the value of Su Xin Yuewei Fox, but how could Su Xin and Su Yue really dare to treat the True Lord of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School as a sucker?
Therefore, the two women quoted a very reasonable price, including rare and precious materials, elixirs and medicines for healing and detoxification, as well as talismans and magic arrays at the Void Refinement level.

Su Xin then said, "Of the above three, True Lord only needs to provide two."

Jiang Sheng listened to Su Xin's quote thoughtfully: "Do you two fellow Daoists need healing and detoxifying elixirs, defensive talismans, and protective formations? Are you planning to explore some kind of opportunity?"

"Please don't misunderstand, I have no intention of probing your secrets. It's just that, as I understand it, your preparations are insufficient."

Su Xin was naturally overjoyed to receive guidance from a True Lord of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, and immediately said, "Please give me some pointers, True Lord. How should we prepare if we are to go and explore for opportunities?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "It's not really guidance, but given your cultivation levels, the opportunity you two need to explore with such full gear must be extraordinary."

"Using simple Void Refinement techniques to deal with this is probably not enough. We should at least prepare some things beyond Void Refinement as our trump cards."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng took out a green talisman from his sleeve: "Very well, I do like this Moontail Fox, and your offers are sincere. Consider this talisman a gift from me to you two."

Su Xin carefully took the green talisman, sensing the sharp and piercing aura of the Dao seal on it. For a moment, she seemed to see a magnificent sword light that could split the earth and open the sky and destroy the universe.

In an instant, Su Xin felt drenched in sweat, her very soul trembling:

"A Fusion Immortal Talisman?!" (End of Chapter)
