Chapter 958 Preparations in Advance 1
Wan Qiwei coughed lightly and said:

"Ranxi, you don't need to be so nervous. With your Golden Immortal Realm strength, you can protect yourself without any worries when entering the Fire Forging Secret Realm."

Yun Xi understood; the other party was no longer hinting but explicitly stating that she should deal with the Jin family's junior disciples in the secret realm and then protect the Wanqi family's trial disciples. She calmly replied:
“Young Master Wei, I understand what you mean and I know what to do.”

Seeing that Yunxi was responding well, Wanqiwei added:
"Ranxi, you don't need to hand over what you find in the secret realm. After returning to the Wanqi family, you can exchange it with the clan for the cultivation resources you need."

Yunxi nodded again to indicate that she understood.

After Wan Qiwei finished saying what she needed to say, she left the courtyard where Yunxi was.

In fact, Wanqiwei did not agree with forcibly knocking on the gate to summon Ranxi. However, some people in the family had some complaints about Ranxi. They said that she was in seclusion to avoid trouble, but she had been in seclusion for fifty years and occupied a small courtyard by herself. They felt that it was enough to repay her for standing up and testifying for the Wanqi family.

Moreover, it was only because the Wanqi family was backing Ranxi that the other party was able to get compensation from the Jin family. Otherwise, given her status as a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm, the Jin family might not have taken her seriously, let alone given her compensation. It can only be said that everyone benefited from this arrangement.

Therefore, some people disapproved of Ranxi's quiet and withdrawn cultivation and brought it up indirectly in front of Wanqiyou.

Wan Qiyou also felt that fifty years was enough time for Ranxi to use up the compensation she had received from the Jin family. Moreover, the disciple monitoring the courtyard said that the other party had not stepped out of the cultivation room since hanging up the sign of seclusion, and really treated their Wan Qi family as a free cultivation cave. So he came to find Wan Qiwei.

Just then, the Forging Fire Secret Realm, which belongs to Wanhao Immortal City, was about to open. They received news that the Jin family also had a quota to enter the secret realm, and it was confirmed that the younger generation of the clan would be allowed to enter. So Wan Qiyou thought of Ranxi.

The other party had ample reason to kill the Jin family disciples, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to deepen the bond between the two sides, so he sent Wanqiwei to knock on the gate and put the other party into the Wanqi family's trial team.

Wanqiwei felt that this was inappropriate. He believed that at this stage, the best approach to dealing with Ranxi was to show her kindness. However, Elder You disagreed. He felt that giving Yunxi fifty years to consolidate her cultivation was already a generous gesture from the Wanqi family. Even if they wanted to obtain the divine-level cultivation technique from her, they shouldn't be too obsequious, otherwise they would be at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, Wan Qiwei couldn't fight against the elder's orders and had no choice but to follow them and knock on the door of Yunxi's secluded courtyard.

After watching Wan Qiwei leave, Yunxi did not linger. A quarter of an hour later, she also left the Wan family's mansion and began her first real visit to the Immortal City.

She didn't touch a single one of the immortal stones the Jin family compensated her with. Who knows if they've been tampered with? She originally planned to use these immortal stones to buy herself some equipment, so spending them now would be a good idea, and having a legitimate reason for their use wouldn't arouse suspicion from the Wanqi family.

Now that she has immortal stones in her storage bracelet, she is full of confidence and is ready to brush up on her knowledge of the immortal realm. She has read through the three jade slips that she copied from Si Shijiu countless times, but she still feels that they are missing a lot of common knowledge.

She hadn't had the chance before because she was in seclusion, and she didn't want to make her presence known to the Wanqi family disciples. Now that she had a legitimate opportunity to go out, she planned to stock up on a batch of books and jade slips on this subject. So she went to a shop that specialized in selling these kinds of things.

This street-facing shop has three floors, with a signboard that reads "Wan Shu Ge" (Ten Thousand Books Pavilion). The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman in her Nascent Soul stage, possessing a scholarly air refined by time. She is elegant and poised, and when Yun Xi enters the shop, she doesn't immediately greet her, but simply smiles gently and says:
"Please feel free to browse, fairy. Call me anytime if you need anything." Looking at the rows of bookshelves, Yunxi had the illusion of entering the "Cultivation Techniques Pavilion" again. Wanting to save time, she turned to the woman and said:
"Boss, I'd like to find some jade slips that record the development and major events of the Immortal Realm, as well as books about immortal beasts and immortal plants. The more comprehensive the better. I also need some books on basic alchemy, talisman making, and array engraving, and some biographies and stories about powerful figures in the Immortal Realm."

The woman paused for only a second upon hearing Yunxi's request before putting on a polite smile and saying:
"Alright, fairy, please have a seat in the side room while I fetch what you need."

After saying that, he led Yunxi to a small private room next door, which was obviously used to receive guests. The room was not big, with only a table and two chairs placed by the window, and nothing else.

Yunxi looked around and then looked away. A quarter of an hour later, the woman entered the cubicle carrying a tray. The tray was piled with many jade slips, stone slips, animal skin scrolls, and even yellowed paper books.

"Fairy, these are the things you need. Please take a look."

Yunxi scanned the tray with her divine sense, examining all the items inside, then looked up and said:
"The names match up, but some are sealed, and you have to pay immortal stones to see the contents?"

The woman nodded and said:

"My shop has a wide selection of books. In addition to selling books, I also collect and repair damaged books and scrolls. After repair, they can be resold. If you have any cultivation techniques or inheritances that are not available in my shop, you can exchange them directly with Wan Shu Ge."

Yunxi immediately understood that Wanshuge also handled used book recycling, which explained their confidence in their shop. They were trying to find out if she had any cultivation manuals or secret techniques to exchange. She shook her head and said:

"Not yet. Tell me the price of this pile of stuff."

Seeing that Yunxi had no intention of exchanging, the woman immediately replied respectfully:

"Distinguished guest, the 'Complete Illustrated Guide to Immortal Beasts' and the 'Complete Analysis of Immortal Plants' are a set. There is a one-time use jade slip, which will be automatically destroyed after you have read it, and there is also a gold slip that can be preserved for a long time. Not only can it be viewed repeatedly, but it can also be passed on to future generations. The required immortal stones are also different. The one-time use jade slip costs 10,000 low-grade immortal stones, while the gold slip costs 30,000 low-grade immortal stones."

Yunxi chose the gold slip without the slightest hesitation.

The woman continued, pointing to the sealed jade slips and stone slips:
"Distinguished guest, these sealed texts contain the inheritances related to alchemy, talisman making, and array engraving that you specified. They were obtained by Wanshu Pavilion through various channels and are more expensive. I have brought several copies. Fairy, you can take a look at the unsealed prefaces and then determine whether they meet your requirements before deciding whether to purchase them."

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, finding this sales method quite good. She then took out a jade slip engraved with "Danpu" (Alchemy Manual), read the first part, and put it aside. She then took out a stone slip titled "Wanbian Buliqizhi Zhenjie" (Unchanging Principles of Formations), read it, and kept it. Finally, she took out a yellowed scroll with the title "Xianfu Yongchuan" (Eternal Transmission of Immortal Talismans) on the cover, flipped through two pages, and put it back on the tray, clearly not satisfied.

Half an hour later, Yunxi had selected what she needed and paid the shopkeeper 100,000 mid-grade immortal stones.

The woman's smile grew even more genuine as she presented Yunxi with a copy of "Miscellaneous Notes" and several other storybooks as gifts for VIP guests of Wanshuge.
