Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm)

  In the Eastern Extreme Immortal Realm, there are abundant spiritual plants and minerals, with countless precious treasures scattered across various floating islands and even in the cloud sea. Even a first-rate spiritual artifact is not considered rare in this realm. Above spiritual artifacts, there are also bronze and silver artifacts, as well as the strongest artifact that has been renowned since ancient times and passed down to the present - the divine artifact.

  According to the ancient records of Xianling, since the creation of the Xianling realm, ten treasures were born from heaven and earth: the Axe of Opening Heaven, the Tower of Linglong, the Stone of Supplementing Heaven, the Bow of Shooting Sun, the Boots of Chasing Day, the Bag of Qiankun, the Phoenix Lute, the Seal of Sealing Heaven, the Mirror of Heavenly Machine, and the Sword of Pointing Heaven. Each of these ten divine instruments has infinite magical power, and it is said that whoever collects all ten will unify the four realms of Xianling and become an invincible strongman. Currently, each of the four masters of the four extremes of the Xianling realm possesses one of the divine instruments: the Eastern Extreme has the Sword of Pointing Heaven, the Southern Extreme has the Seal of Sealing Heaven, the Western Extreme has the Tower of Linglong, and the Northern Extreme has the Phoenix Lute. As for the other six instruments, they have been lost or fragmented over billions of years in the Xianling realm, with no one knowing where they are scattered.

  Xiao Yao didn't have much interest in the top ten divine artifacts, but as necessary information, she still memorized each of the ten artifacts one by one. However, when she saw the Heaven-Cleaving Axe, she couldn't help but pause for a moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. The Heaven-Cleaving Axe had long been split apart in ancient times: the axe head had transformed into the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Flag, the axe blade had transformed into the Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals, and the axe handle had transformed into the Chaotic Bell, collectively known as the Four Great Primordial Treasures. She looked at the diagram of the Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals, and three of them were surprisingly identical to the three sharp swords that Zhang Fan had used to injure her initially: the Sword of Exterminating Immortals, the Sword of Slaying Immortals, and the Sword of Entrapping Immortals!

  This Zhang Fan is indeed the ruthless and cunning Law Enforcement King, with such good luck that he obtained a part of the highest divine artifact in the Xianling Realm while still in the Lower Realm. No wonder his powerful physical body was also injured by the Three Swords of Exterminating Immortals. Fortunately, one of the Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals was missing at the time, and the Sword Array was not complete. Moreover, Zhang Fan's "capacity" was relatively small, so he could only exert a tiny fraction of the power of the Three Swords of Exterminating Immortals, otherwise, he would have been instantly killed long ago.

  This child has always had a good fortune, and it's likely that he should have ascended to the Xianling Realm. Although the Xianling Realm values "magnitude", his good fortune can make up for his unstable foundation. Next time they meet, his strength will probably increase greatly again, and since things are still unresolved between them, their encounter might be another fierce battle.

  Next, Xiao Yao stayed in the cave to cultivate for a few days before starting to collect materials and equipment for "Ling Kong Jie Zi". The materials needed to forge "Ling Kong Jie Zi" are not complicated, only three types, and the equipment is also very common in the world. A little worse would be around several tens of middle-grade yuan crystals, and a better one would be no more than a hundred blocks. However, the forging process of "Ling Kong Jie Zi" is extremely complex, requiring a high level of skill from the forger, even if it's a senior master craftsman, the success rate is very low. Moreover, only flying immortals with spiritual beasts in the lower realm would buy this item, so the market demand is very small, which is why "Ling Kong Jie Zi" is scarce and expensive.

  She first checked inside the White Jade Pavilion and found that the equipment and two of the refining materials could be exchanged for, requiring a total of 180 merit points. As for the last material, called "Empty Steel", it was relatively rare and not available in the pavilion at the moment. Xiao Yao had never thought she would have good luck and collect everything at once, after all, good things come to those who wait, so she decided to first get her hands on the equipment and two refining materials before heading to the market to see if she could buy or exchange for them.

  After several months, Xiao Yao frequently entered and exited the White Jade Pavilion, single-mindedly taking on tasks and accumulating achievements. Since she always came and went alone, she could only take on solo tasks, but the achievements that could be completed by a Huashen period cultivator were generally not high. After more than half a year, she had finally accumulated 180 points of achievement to exchange for a piece of equipment and two types of refining materials. As for the last "Kong Gang", it was somewhat headache-inducing. During this time, she had also gone to the market several times, but unfortunately, the location of this type of refining material mine was completely unpredictable, making it difficult to find. Additionally, it couldn't be used as a material for other magical equipment, and its only use was to forge "Ling Kong Zi", so basically no cultivator would go out of their way to look for it. As a result, the market often had a shortage, and in the end, she could only go to the Message Pavilion to buy information at a price.

  In the days of waiting for news, Xiao Yao did not slack off and continued to take on tasks in exchange for merits. On this day, she came to the White Jade Pavilion as usual, but before entering the inner courtyard, she heard someone calling out to her: "Chong Rou Daoist friend."

  Following the sound and looking over, he only saw Wang Fu walking towards him with a smile, saying: "Long time no see, fellow Taoist, are you going to the task list to receive a task?"

  Xiao Yao smiled and politely asked, "Is that right? Did Wang Fu come looking for me with something on his mind?" After all, the two of them had only met once about half a year ago, and hadn't had any interactions since then. It was unlikely that he would suddenly call out to her without a reason.

  As expected, Wang Fu didn't beat around the bush and nodded directly: "It's just that this place isn't convenient for discussion. Let's wait until our friend finishes his task, then we can change to a different location and talk about it."

  Xiao Yao thought for a moment before saying: "I'll take some time to choose a task, fellow daoist, you might as well speak first if you have something on your mind."

  Wang Fuheng smiled and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll invite fellow Taoist to drink at Yue Xing Lou."

  The two of them arrived at the Moon Star Building together, and after sitting down, they ordered some spiritual wine and food. Then, Wang Fu got straight to the point and said, "I invited you here today, fellow Taoist, because I wanted to ask if you'd like to join me on a trip to the 'Kunlun Realm' to search for treasure."

  Treasure hunting? Xiao Yao looked at Wang Fu's two curved eyebrows and asked after a moment of silence: "Fellow Taoist, why did you choose me?"

  Wang Fu's smile grew even wider, "There are many reasons, but the most important one is that Brother Qingyu is a flying ascension cultivator from the lower realm and can kill a million-year-old fish with his own power, which is truly extraordinary. In my opinion, he is the best candidate. Moreover, I heard that Brother has been looking for 'Empty Steel' recently, and there happens to be an 'Empty Steel' mine in the Kunlun Realm, I believe Brother should have some interest."

  Xiao Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought to herself: She had always been alone, busy with her tasks for most of the year, and hadn't gotten to know other cultivators. How did Wang Fu know that she was looking for "Kong Gang"? It was really suspicious. But on the surface, she still spoke politely: "If what you said is true, then it would be a great help. But how did you know I was looking for 'Kong Gang'?"

  Wang Fu heard this and smiled awkwardly, "Don't misunderstand, fellow Taoist. I also overheard it unintentionally. You went to that Treasure Moon Building two days ago to ask the shopkeeper if they sold 'Empty Steel', right? I happened to be in the building too, and when I came down from the second floor, I caught a glimpse of your back as you were leaving. I wanted to call out to you, but then I thought I still needed to discuss this matter with you, so I didn't chase after you to greet you."

  "Really, how convenient," Xiao Yao responded with her mouth, but in her heart she didn't believe it one bit. She only said: "If fellow Daoist is truly inviting me, there's no harm in telling the other reasons as well, to show sincerity."
