Over twenty types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, numbering over a hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed with Divine Light, and with a wave of his large sleeve, a vast expanse of resplendent light enveloped all the treasures, sweeping them all into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ku Rong Ancestor smiled faintly, and suddenly a series of green vines emerged from the ground, entangling the dozen or so treasures that had been taken out earlier, quickly dragging them underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transaction was successfully completed, and both Zhao Sheng and Ku Rong Ancestor were very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two did not part ways but instead enthusiastically began to discuss mystical philosophies, exchanging insights and experiences on cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Zhao Sheng’s perspective and foundation, it was of course easy for him to overshadow Ku Rong Ancestor, yet he deliberately concealed his abilities, occasionally displaying a sense of \"profound mystery\" and discreetly pointing out some oversights in the other’s cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Ku Rong Ancestor increasingly impressed, and he felt greatly benefited, experiencing a sense of breaking through confusion and advancing in Daoist practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Ku Rong Ancestor fully comprehended Zhao Sheng’s words, his Daoist practice would surely make great advancements in the future, possibly even giving him a sliver of hope for a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exchange continued for a day and a night until Zhao Sheng suddenly stopped smiling without speaking, awakening Ku Rong Ancestor from his fascination, who quickly bowed gratefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Ku Rong Ancestor held this \"Fellow Daoist\" in high regard, responding to any of Zhao Sheng’s requests with utmost effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Ku Rong Ancestor repeatedly extended sincere invitations to Zhao Sheng, hoping he would join the Wanyou Trading Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this purpose, even the owner of the Wanyou Trading Company, Yixin Ancestor, personally appeared to recruit this Divinity Transformation Grandmaster who was Master of Hundred Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Zhao Sheng learn that the Wanyou Trading Company’s background was greater than he had imagined, with its owner, Yixin Ancestor, not only being a bloodline descendant of the Red Cloud Venerable but also having a cultivation at the Late-stage Returning to Void, being genuinely one of the top ten in the Red Cloud Spirit Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these are stories for later, let’s not mention them for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bitter Rong Immortal Root Tree, located in one of the most bustling and lively areas of Jiuxuan City, serves as the headquarters of the Wanyou Trading Company, naturally becoming a gathering place for intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Located on the Fourth Layer, All Immortal Monarchs is the most well-informed area, attracting countless Wind Carriers who make a living from intelligence gathering. Besides gathering information, they do not neglect their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than half a day after Zhao Sheng settled in the Heavenly Number Six Cave Mansion, information about him was already spreading vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was little useful information, it still attracted many Wind Carriers because Ku Rong Ancestor had slightly schemed, secretly spreading the word that Zhao Sheng was a Master of Hundred Arts and a Three Great Masters of Pill, Artifact, and Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why so many Wind Carriers were drawn in so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhao Sheng didn’t leave the cave mansion, he was entirely aware of the commotion outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he soon learned of the inside story, immediately realizing it was Ku Rong Ancestor’s \"maneuver,\" not particularly clever but effective nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng was naturally pleased to \"sit firmly in the fishing platform and wait for the fish to bite of their own accord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the big fish took the bait, Ku Rong Ancestor had already brought people to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately opened the cave mansion to welcome the distinguished guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cave mansion’s living room, the three Divinity Transformation Cultivators each took their seats, with Ku Rong Ancestor taking the lead to introduce: \"Come, come, let this old fellow introduce you, Taoist Zhao. This is none other than Taoist Jin Xun, who stunned Jiuxuan City with his unique Miraculous Flame Boiling Sea Divine Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Sheng slightly nodded and cupped his hands with a smile, \"I am Zhao Sheng, greetings to Taoist Jin Xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Xun Taoist, a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Great True Monarch, was stern and upright, but with a fiery temperament, broad-faced and wide-eared, hairless, his skin like golden cast, appearing to also cultivate the Body Refinement path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Jin Xun, Fellow Daoists have given me the playful title of Fire Dragon Taoist. Taoist Zhao, if you don’t mind, you may call me Fire Dragon Taoist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Xun carried a touch of arrogance, speaking with an air of seniority, implicitly treating himself as a superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng was unfazed, smiling naturally, \"Fire Dragon Taoist, I title myself Shaoling. In the future, let us forego formalities and address each other as Shaoling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Fire Dragon Taoist suddenly focused his gaze, shooting two beams of fire from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a domineering and scorching powerful Divine Thought swept towards Zhao Sheng, raising the temperature in the living room until it felt like the height of summer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the sudden test, Zhao Sheng remained unfazed, a slight crack appearing at the center of his brow, a multi-colored Divine Light suddenly flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The multicolored Divine Light flashed briefly, instantly nullifying the imposing scorching Divine Thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Fire Dragon Taoist gazed solemnly at Zhao Sheng, who hadn’t moved an inch, inwardly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both being in the \"Divinity Transformation\" realm, he could not comprehend how the other managed to defuse his probing so skillfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because he couldn’t understand it, he was even more shocked, involuntarily developing a degree of respect and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Rong Ancestor, who witnessed the entire scene, maintained a smiling exterior yet was deeply moved inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Dragon Taoist was forthright, immediately expressing his apology: \"Taoist Shaoling, you are truly profound! I was disrespectful earlier, please do not take offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng laughed, \"No harm done! Fire Dragon Taoist, you have mastered the Fire Element Samadhi, your attainment is indeed rare. In the future, I should often seek guidance from you on the Fire Path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all! Brother Shaoling is also an expert in the Fire Path. I equally need to seek advice from you, Taoist. Should you have time in the future, please visit my Golden Flame Lake, where I shall warmly welcome you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-05-29T05:57:23.024Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","01e1077985b357168420bea58337c6e0d546f7961dfecd99895ecc8c797c2ee8","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1535","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1533",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
