"Spiritual Mountain's inspection team is said to be ten witches, but actually only these three have come to the Second Heaven City."

Xuanqing transmitted a message to ask Xi He, "How many witch gods have come in total?"

"There are five in total."

Xi He replied via transmission: "The other two went with the Alliance Hierarch (Ginseng Fruit Tree) to gamble on stones at the First Jade Tower."

"I see."

Xuanqing nodded slightly and then invited Wu Pan, Wu Peng, and Wu Luo into the Three Pure Ones Store.

"What do Daoists need?"

Houtu said, "We, the ten witches of Spiritual Mountain, have studied extensively in the field of spiritual medicines. I heard that there is also an Alchemy Immortal here, who is considered the best in White Jade City?"

"Absolutely right!"

"That's me, I am the best Alchemy Immortal in White Jade City!"

Jing Yao Venerable who was selecting figurines in the Creation Hut hurried over and immediately started taking care of Houtu instead of Xuanqing.

"Wu Pan, Daoist, you really have a good eye!" Jing Yao Venerable said enthusiastically, he was quite pleased with Houtu's earlier compliment.

"The elixirs produced by me, the Alchemy Immortal, are all high-quality, and I have never received a bad review since I started selling them."

"You did right by choosing our Three Pure Ones Store to buy elixirs!"

"Come, let me show you the goods we have in our store." Jing Yao Venerable took Houtu to the elixir area.

"This is the Supreme Clone Pill, after consuming it one can cultivate a unique Primordial clone technique."

"This one is the Cycle All-Phenomena Pill, taking one can gather the power of all phenomena in the Cycle; it definitely shows miraculous effects in battles."

"This is the Supreme Soul Pill..."

"This is the Cycle Enlightenment Pill..."

"This is the Reincarnation Pill for Impermanence of Life and Death..."

Jing Yao Venerable pointed to the five kinds of elixirs, introducing each to Houtu.

"Daoist, I won't lie to you, these five elixirs are the treasure of our store."

"The first four elixirs have been very well received by the divine who have tried them!"

"The fifth elixir is the best-selling one at the First Jade Tower in White Jade City!"

Houtu listened to Jing Yao Venerable's description of the elixirs and the success cases he listed and thought he was quite professional.

"Sounds good." Houtu was indeed somewhat tempted.

"Do you have any other new elixirs?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You came at the perfect time, Daoist."

Jing Yao Venerable, hearing that Houtu was interested in buying new elixirs, smiled even more brilliantly.

"I've just concocted a new elixir—Heaven and Earth Mystery · Generation of All Things · Supreme Creation Pill!"

Houtu, hearing this, didn't fully understand but was impressed.

"What effects does it have?"

With great enthusiasm, Jing Yao Venerable explained, "After consuming this elixir, one can seize the mysteries of heaven and earth and comprehend the true intention of supreme creation..."

In order to sell his new product elixir, Jing Yao really exhausted his vocabulary, praising the Creation Pill to the skies.

And yet Houtu, who was quite knowledgeable about spiritual medicines, was very focused, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"That's it, another victim has appeared," thought Xuanqing with a mix of three parts sympathy and ninety-seven parts amusement in his heart!

Similarly, understanding that Jing Yao Venerable was hoodwinking Houtu, the young Wu Luo did not offer any reminders either.

He followed Xuanqing to the Divine Weapon Area, pretending to select Spiritual Treasures.

The witch god who claimed to be Wu Peng was received by Daoist Lord Yu Chen.

[Wu Peng] Upon arriving at the Array Formation Area, couldn't help but gaze at the command flags and spirit banners used for setting arrays.

Then he was attracted by a Void Mirror.

That was a Spiritual Treasure provided by Xuanqing; the effect of this Void Mirror is to practice arrays and then display them to customers.

It included practices of various big formations, ranging from heaven-destroying and earth-eliminating arrays to unparalleled defensive arrays.

Daoist Lord Yu Chen did not display the arrays that might embarrass customers.

He worried about scaring the customers away.

"Daoist, these arrays are truly mysterious." Wu Peng's eyes lingered for a long time on the Void Mirror, those miniature versions of array practices stirred his excitement.

"Do you also have expertise in arrays?" Yu Chen had a smile in his eyes, it was rare to meet a fellow practitioner.

"In front of an Array Immortal, I dare not claim to be skilled."

Wu Peng smiled and shook his head modestly, "I just have some interest in arrays, hence some exposure."

Seizing the opportunity, Yu Chen asked, "Then Daoist, what do you think an array is?"

Wu Peng's eyes twinkled; he was surprised by Yu Chen's straightforwardness, but did not refuse to answer.

"I believe, the array is a method to overcome the strong with the weak, a method to suppress others with power, a method of endless changes, and also the Supreme Great Dao."

Hearing this, Yu Chen smiled and pointed at Wu Peng: "Daoist, you are not quite true to your heart."

Wu Peng also smiled: "Then what do you think, Daoist, what is an array?"

Yu Chen said, "Whether it's illusion array, sword array, trapping array, kill array, mystery array, or absolute array... countless arrays, infinitely mysterious, yet ultimately all come down to eight words—overcome the enemy, all for hope."

"Do you think so, Daoist?"

Hearing this, Wu Peng's surprise grew rather than diminished.

Certainly, overcoming the enemy was indeed the core goal of all arrays.

But the last four words…

[Hope? Is this his Dao? What an interesting immortal he is.]

Wu Peng smiled more openly and gently uttered a word: "Wonderful!"

~~~~

"They seem to be having a very pleasant chat." Xuanqing glanced at the Array Formation Area, Yu Chen and Wu Peng seemed to get along well, sharing many topics.

The young Wu Luo, while selecting divine artifacts, relayed a message to Xuanqing.

"Eastern Jumang, green as fresh bamboo, a bird-bodied and human-faced, riding two dragons."

Xuanqing was surprised.

"Is he Jumang?"

"Yes." Wu Luo was sparing with words, speaking very little.

"What about the other two then?" Xuanqing asked.

The two witch gods who were gambling on stones in the First Jade Tower were named Wu Zhen and Wu Yang.

These two were likely pseudonyms.

"Figure it out yourself." Wu Luo did not want to speak.

"At least give me a hint," Xuanqing pleaded.

"Humph, no way," Wu Luo said stubbornly.

Xuanqing thought for a moment, "Are they among the Kai Ming Six Witches?"

"You know?" Wu Luo turned to look at him.

"I've traveled the All Heavens, met Wu Xiang, who claimed to be one of the Kai Ming Six Witches."

"That's not surprising."

Xuanqing recalled the scene, "There's also a Wu Di; is he a member of your Spiritual Mountain Ten Witches?"

"Yes." Wu Luo nodded.

"Is he Ruci?" Xuanqing bluntly asked.

Wu Luo stared blankly at Xuanqing, "How did you know?"

Xuanqing smiled, "Tiger-faced, clad in golden scales, double wings on the shoulders, snake through the left ear, riding two dragons, that is Ruci."

"I should have guessed it was him."

Xuanqing continued guessing, "Wu Zhen is Xuanming, Wu Yang is Zhu Rong, then who is Wu Xiang?"

"You've guessed them all."

Wu Luo grew speechless.

If it weren't for now that the Kai Ming Six Witches plus the Spiritual Mountain Ten Witches were just titles, barely making up six, Wu Luo would suspect Xuanqing had sneakily joined.

"Now, combining both sides, there are only six witch gods."

Unknowingly, Xuanqing had skewed Wu Luo's cold aloof persona, and he began to talk more.

"Western Ruci, Eastern Jumang, Northern Xuanming, Southern Zhu Rong."

"Plus me and Houtu."

"The Wu Xiang you met, is one of Houtu's identities."

Xuanqing's eyes flashed, "So you are still in the founding stage."

Wu Luo nodded, "This time we came out, actually planning to look for a leader..."

Before Wu Luo could finish, he saw Xuanqing's gleaming smile, eager to try.

He instantly curled his lips and decisively refused.

"Don't even think about it!"

He finally found a proper organization; he absolutely couldn't let bizarre divine beings mix in!

"That's really a pity." Xuanqing showed a disappointed emotion.

Wu Luo snorted coldly, I'm not fooled!

"So, what is the Demon Ancestor doing here?" Xuanqing asked smilingly.

The Demon Ancestor has come into Hong Jun's territory, does Hong Jun know?

"What's it to you?" Wu Luo glanced at Xuanqing.

"I am the Primordial Heavenly Demon of the Demon Path, isn't it only right for me to want to know the moves of the Demon Ancestor?"

Xuanqing thus spoke.

Wu Luo ignored him.

"Then go and ask the Demon Ancestor; I'm just a minor member of the Spiritual Mountain Ten Witches."

"Did you come here to gather intelligence?" Xuanqing continued.

"Gathering intelligence? Who?"

Wu Luo lifted his chin high, his gaze somewhat evasive, not looking at Xuanqing.

"Feeling pressured, aren't you?"

Xuanqing smiled, "The two Da Luo Supreme from White Jade City, plotting in depth, must be putting the Demon Ancestor under pressure, am I right?"

"Pressure? Really? There isn't any at all!"

Young Wu Luo replied via transmission, very loudly and insincerely.

"Don't get agitated."

"Who's agitated!"

Wu Luo argued, "Hong Jun specifically invited the Spiritual Mountain Ten Witches to be the inspection team, I, as one of the Spiritual Mountain Ten Witches, am just having a look, what's wrong with that?"

Seeing this, Xuanqing felt amused.

Let you act all arrogant and deep and aloof, let's see if I can break your defense.

[Ah, little Wu Luo is really fun! Much more interesting than the Great Demon Ancestor.]
