Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 707 - 359, First-class Primordial Spirit, Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit_2

Miao Qing is her pawn. And she, a Direct Disciple of Kui Star Gate, is also someone else's pawn. Otherwise, even if Huang Longzi is a Nascent Soul Freelance Cultivator, he is not someone she can offend at her current cultivation and status, nor is there any need to do so. Although there might be competition between Zi Lan Array Shop and Tiande Formation Method Shop in the future, this was not the initial reason for conflict between them.

Before the opening of Tiande Formation Method Shop in Chengxin Alley, there were two other array shops: Zi Lan Array Shop and Sheng Yun Array Shop.

Similar to their visit to Zi Lan Array Shop, Xu Xing and Su Fanglin also brought gifts when they visited Sheng Yun Array Shop, which was managed by the Wang Family, one of the Cultivator Aristocratic Families. This time, Xu Xing and Su Fanglin were not met with cold indifference; instead, they received a warm welcome from the Wang Family.

"The Wang Family is a second-rate cultivator family. Its members include disciples of both Heavenly Saber Sect and Kui Star Gate. They have always maintained impartiality and do not favor either side," Su Fanglin conveyed to Xu Xing via voice transmission. "Furthermore, Zi Lan Array Shop has been consistently siphoning business from Sheng Yun Array Shop in Chengxin Alley. Within the Wang Family, there are already voices suggesting they abandon this enterprise. Compared to forging a connection with Senior Huang Long, the Wang Family isn't concerned about a mere array shop."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing's doubts were immediately dispelled.

A starving camel is still larger than a horse. Effort expended in the wrong direction is ultimately futile. In terms of strength and background, the Wang Family might not compare to Grandmaster Zi Lan of the Zi Lan Array Shop. However, as a Cultivator Aristocratic Family, their accumulated wealth far surpasses that of Grandmaster Zi Lan. For the Wang Family, abandoning an array shop that isn't very profitable is inconsequential. But if Grandmaster Zi Lan were to abandon the Zi Lan Array Shop, she would lose a significant source of income, potentially even jeopardizing her own cultivation path. This holds true for most Sects. Unless disciples from a master-disciple lineage ascend to become High-level members and grasp control of the Sect's power, their Resources and development in the early and middle stages will inevitably fall short of those of Cultivator Aristocratic Families.

"Mu Zilan has always been arrogant. It's quite normal for Senior Huang Long to receive some cold treatment from her. If it weren't for the backing of Kui Star Gate, heh..."

On Heavenly Star Island, in the backyard of Sheng Yun Array Shop, Wang Xiaolie, the Wang Family's chief array master, stroked his white beard, sipped Spiritual Wine, and spoke with a glare. Evidently, from his demeanor and words, Wang Xiaolie had suffered considerable losses during the years of competition between Sheng Yun Array Shop and Zi Lan Array Shop.

Mu Zilan was, in fact, Grandmaster Zi Lan's true name. However, aside from the elders of Kui Star Gate, few dared to address Grandmaster Zi Lan by it.

"This is a trivial matter and not worth our concern," Xu Xing said, exchanging toasts with Wang Xiaolie. The two of them enjoyed a convivial atmosphere.

"However, Senior Huang Long should still be wary of this woman." After a few more cups of wine, Wang Xiaolie's face was flushed, and his tongue had grown a little heavy. He slurred, "Mu Zilan is one of the top ten Direct Disciples of Kui Star Gate. Although her ranking is at the bottom, her Array Talent has earned her the high regard of many Kui Star Gate Saint Monarchs, and she is even appreciated by the Kui Star Immortal..."

Xu Xing nodded, not particularly surprised.

The Dao of arrays is intrinsically linked to the Dao of heaven and earth. During his time on Demon Island in the Lower Realm, his own Array Talent was recognized by many, who believed he would soon attain The realm of the sage monarch and become a Nascent Soul Cultivator. This same principle could be applied to Mu Zilan.

"Kui Star Immortal?" Xu Xing's eyes flickered upon hearing Wang Xiaolie's last words.

Refining Void, Unification, and Tribulation Crossing are the three major realms created by Chiming World cultivators after their hopes in the path of the Primordial Spirit were exhausted. Reaching the Refining Void realm made one comparable to an Immortal. Consequently, Refining Void cultivators are often referred to as Immortals among mortals. Xu Xing had been on Heavenly Star Island for some time and had heard of the Kui Star Immortal, knowing this individual to be the Refining Void Immortal of Kui Star Gate. Similarly, the Heavenly Saber Sect, which jointly governed Heavenly Star Island with Kui Star Gate, also boasted a Refining Void Immortal in their ranks, known as the Sky Saber Immortal.

"Does Daoist Wang happen to know any inside information?" Xu Xing mused for a moment, then retrieved a bottle of fine wine from his Storage Bag and poured a glass for Wang Xiaolie.

As a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch who had ascended from the Lower Realm, he was by no means poor. On the contrary, because Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs are supreme in the Lower Realm, it is even easier for them to accumulate wealth and gather Resources. The wine Xu Xing currently held was a tribute from a Sect called Luo Yun Sect, received during his time with the Butian Sect.

"Excellent wine!" Wang Xiaolie tilted his head back and drained the cup in one gulp.

The wine was downed. Xu Xing and Wang Xiaolie resumed their earlier conversation.

"Speaking of inside information..." A glint flashed in Wang Xiaolie's eyes. "I've heard that Mu Zilan and the Eldest Senior Brother of Kui Star Gate are romantically involved, secretly Daoist spouses. Many of the Resources Mu Zilan has acquired through her array shop have been channeled to support this Eldest Senior Brother of Kui Star Gate."

He continued, "The Eldest Senior Brother of Kui Star Gate is at the peak of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, just one step away from breaking through and achieving the First-class Yuan Shen!"

"First-class Yuan Shen?"

Hearing this, Xu Xing's brow furrowed slightly, and he mentally filed away the term. He had an intuition that this 'First-class Yuan Shen' was something extraordinary.

"As long as the Eldest Senior Brother of Kui Star Gate achieves the First-class Yuan Shen, he will be qualified to inherit the position of Sect Leader of Kui Star Gate. At that time, under the tutelage of the Kui Star Immortal, even if he cannot attain the Refining Void realm, he will still be able to reach Nascent Soul Peak..." Wang Xiaolie's face was filled with envy.

"So, Senior Huang Long... you must be exceedingly careful with Mu Zilan. The entire Kui Star Gate stands behind her..." Wang Xiaolie added.

"I opened a shop in Chengxin Alley with the permission of Heavenly Star Island. It's not an illegal act, so there's nothing I need to be wary of," Xu Xing replied with a faint smile.

He wouldn't give the Wang Family any leverage through his words. Although he found Mu Zilan distasteful and they had already become adversaries, he wouldn't be foolish enough to declare her his enemy to everyone. Of course, Xu Xing's confidence stemmed not only from his own cultivation, which was sufficient for him to move freely on Heavenly Star Island, but also from the backing he now possessed: the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family, one of the foremost Families on Heavenly Star Island.

It seems the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family had ulterior motives in choosing this location for my array shop... Xu Xing mused. Although the Heavenly Saber Sect and Kui Star Gate jointly ruled Heavenly Star Island, all Heavenly Star Island Cultivators knew the two Sects were not truly harmonious in private. If Kui Star Gate were to produce a First-class Yuan Shen, potentially leading to another Refining Void Immortal like the Kui Star Immortal, how would the Heavenly Saber Sect position itself?

However, I am merely an insignificant chess piece, Xu Xing shook his head. The Heavenly Saber Sect, using the Su Family, positioned him in Chengxin Alley to confront Mu Zilan, casting them as 'enemies.' This move by the Heavenly Saber Sect appeared to be one of deep foresight. But in reality, it wasn't so. With him being merely a 'Half Yuan Shen,' what capability did he possess to cause Mu Zilan and the Eldest Senior Brother of Kui Star Gate to fail in their attempt to condense a First-class Yuan Shen? Therefore, his presence here was merely a whim on the part of the Heavenly Saber Sect. They were simply observing, waiting to see if this 'insignificant chess piece' might one day prove useful.

"Although there might be no need for such caution, Senior Huang Long should still be careful..." Seeing Xu Xing remain tight-lipped, Wang Xiaolie sighed inwardly. His eyes darted around for a moment before he refilled Xu Xing's cup and said, "As for this Sheng Yun Array Shop... my Wang Family doesn't intend to continue operating it. However, the shop still has many skilled array masters and apprentices, as well as a list of regular customers..."

"Later, this junior will have someone deliver them to your residence, Senior," Wang Xiaolie offered, changing the subject.

"There's no need for that," Xu Xing raised an eyebrow, politely declining. "I have just opened my shop and do not wish to take on such burdens so soon."

Favors have always been difficult to repay. He came to Heavenly Star Island merely to establish a foothold in the Chiming World, not to genuinely covet these trivial Resources.

"The Su Family will assist Senior Huang Long in these matters," Su Fanglin interjected at the opportune moment. "There is no need for Master Wang to trouble himself."

Upon hearing the refusal from Xu Xing and his companion, a flicker of awkwardness crossed Wang Xiaolie's face. He hurriedly raised his sleeve to cover it and took a drink, concealing his embarrassment.
