Chapter 1041: Sending Pills to the Lower Realm

In Luodu, at Wanbao Pavilion.

“Master Wang, all the elixirs are here. Please inspect them.”

Inside a private room, a white-robed cultivator placed two shimmering jade boxes on the table before Wang Chen.

Wang Chen reached out and lifted the lid, revealing four spirit pills—two purple and two green.

A rich medicinal aroma wafted through the air, invigorating his senses!

“Thank you.”

Wang Chen promptly closed the lid, not bothering to inspect them closely.

Wanbao Pavilion’s reputation was impeccable, renowned across countless realms, and they would never resort to such a crude trick as substituting goods.

Though these four spirit pills were of immense value.

The two green pills were mid-tier Youth Retaining Pills, designed to preserve one’s youthful appearance for a hundred years, making them one of the most coveted elixirs among female cultivators in the world of cultivation.

Due to the rarity of their ingredients, their price was naturally exorbitant.

Yet, compared to the two purple spirit pills, they paled in significance.

The two purple pills were Lifespan Elixirs!

Though cultivators live longer than ordinary mortals, their lifespans are still finite; even a Dao Ancestor lives only for about a hundred thousand years.

Only by surviving the nine heavenly tribulations and ascending to eternity can one achieve the legendary state of immortality.

The question is, among the countless cultivators across realms, how many can reach such heights?

Reaching the Nascent Soul true immortal realm already marks one as an exceptional individual!

And even Nascent Souls typically live for just over a thousand years.

In truth, most cultivators never progress beyond the Golden Core or even the Purple Palace, resulting in even shorter lifespans.

Thus, treasures and elixirs that extend life are exceptionally precious; some heavenly materials and treasures capable of significantly prolonging life are fiercely contested even by True Immortals and True Spirit Masters.

The two Lifespan Elixirs Wang Chen had acquired were of the lowest grade, each extending life by fifty years, and their effects could not be stacked. He had placed an order with Wanbao Pavilion six months in advance and paid with high-grade spirit stones.

Even then, there was no guarantee of receiving them, as the materials for crafting Lifespan Elixirs are exceedingly rare, often controlled by powerful organizations, and are seldom sold to the public.

Waiting over half a year to obtain two was considered fortunate.

As for the price, there was no room for negotiation!

After storing the jade boxes in his Xumi Ring, Wang Chen stood up and took his leave.

Upon returning home, he retreated to his quiet room and took out the four spirit pills once more.

Rubbing the Cangqing Ring on the ring finger of his left hand, Wang Chen took a deep breath.

He had been settled in Luodu Immortal City for a year now, during which he had been hidden cultivating and practicing diligently. With the aid of specific numbers of points, he had finally elevated his primary technique, the Preheaven Five Element Technique, to the fifth layer.

He was now not far from his cultivation level.

The closer the tier of one’s primary technique is to their cultivation level, the more potent their abilities become. Currently, Wang Chen could barely be considered a true higher-level Golden Core cultivator.

In addition to cultivating the Preheaven Five Element Technique, Wang Chen had also devoted considerable time and effort to studying the Cangqing Ring.

The Cangqing Ring was intrinsically linked to the Cangqing realm; it served as the cornerstone of his cultivation path, and its significance was beyond question.

However, Wang Chen’s comprehension and control over this treasure ring remained rudimentary.

After a year of relentless refining and a substantial investment of spirit stones, Wang Chen had uncovered some novel functions of the Cangqing Ring.

For instance, the ability to transport objects to the lower realms.

This entailed teleporting items from the Haotian Realm to the Cangqing realm.

While it might sound straightforward, in practice, it was exceedingly difficult and demanded a considerable amount of energy.

Through continuous experimentation and repeated trials, Wang Chen had succeeded in sending objects the size of an egg into the Cangqing realm.

The recipient on the Cangqing side was, naturally, his external manifestation, Ling Zhiyuan.

Ling Zhiyuan essentially acted as a beacon that Wang Chen had established in the Cangqing realm; as long as he wore the Cangqing Ring, he could maintain a spiritual connection with Ling Zhiyuan.

As Wang Chen’s mastery of the Cangqing Ring deepened, this connection grew more stable and distinct.

Once the teleportation experiment proved successful, Wang Chen placed an order with Wanbao Pavilion for Lifespan Elixirs and Youth Retaining Pills.

These four precious pills were intended for Wu Zhao and Xi Jun.

Given that one year in the Haotian Realm equated to ten years in the Cangqing realm, by the time Wang Chen achieved Yuan Ying condensation in the Haotian Realm, Wu Zhao and Xi Jun in the Cangqing realm might have already turned to dust.

This was certainly not an outcome Wang Chen desired.

With a swift motion, the four pills were instantly stored within the Cangqing Ring.

In the next moment, Wang Chen activated his Golden Core magical power, infusing it into the treasure ring while channeling his spiritual strength to connect with his external manifestation.

When Wang Chen clearly sensed Ling Zhiyuan’s presence and confirmed his readiness, he unleashed the destructive power of the Cangqing Ring.

The spiritual energy contained within the treasure ring was immediately depleted by more than half, and the four pills vanished in an instant!

It worked.

Wang Chen received feedback from his manifestation and let out a profound sigh of relief.

Had the teleportation failed, his losses would have been immense.

Not only would the value of the two Lifespan Elixirs and two Youth Retaining Pills be lost, but the spirit stones expended for this teleportation alone represented a significant cost.

He had finally resolved a pressing concern and could now focus entirely on breaking through to the Yuan Ying realm.

As for Ling Zhiyuan, as Wang Chen’s external manifestation, living for several hundred years in the relatively low-tier Cangqing realm posed no issue, so there was no immediate need for Lifespan Elixirs.

Once Wang Chen broke through to the Yuan Ying realm, he could descend to the lower realm to guide Wu Zhao and Xi Jun up.

Thus, the same problem would no longer exist.

Just as Wang Chen was contemplating this, he suddenly had an idea and rose to leave the quiet room.

When he arrived in the front courtyard, Su Ziling had just seen off a visitor.

“Master, this is the invitation that Master Huangfu just sent via messenger.”

Su Ziling handed a beautifully crafted invitation to Wang Chen and said, “It is an invitation for you to attend his wedding celebration.”

“Mm.”

Wang Chen took the invitation.

After purchasing this immortal residence, he had generally kept to himself, but he had become acquainted with a few neighbors.

Those living nearby were all Golden Core true masters, and since they didn’t have disputes or conflicts of interest, they naturally treated each other with courtesy.

Although Wang Chen had not socialized much with his neighbors, receiving an invitation meant he should attend the celebration.

After all, distant relatives are not as valuable as close neighbors, and one never knows when they might need to rely on others; maintaining good relations with neighbors was essential.

Wang Chen glanced at the date on the invitation, which was in half a month.

After some thought, he said to Su Ziling, “Can you find out what kind of person Master Huangfu’s new partner is so we can prepare a gift?”

Wang Chen usually focused on cultivation, leaving all household matters to Su Ziling.

Her connections in the neighborhood were far superior to Wang Chen’s.

Of course, Su Ziling’s acquaintances were likely of a similar standing, making it easier to gather information.

“Understood.”

Su Ziling smiled brightly, happily accepting the task.
