Chapter 1403 : Taiyi Immortal Pill
Once this supreme treasure was successfully refined, even when facing a great power at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, he would at least possess the strength to put up a fight and gain a significant chance of survival.
Following the Eightfold Dragon Tapestry, several more treasures of world-forging grade were successively presented for auction.
These treasures were all sold at substantial premiums and fell into the hands of several Half-Step Celestial Immortals.
Perhaps because the Emberflow Star Palace's foundations had been severely depleted during the Great Cataclysm, its master failed to acquire these rare treasures.
He merely purchased an eighth-grade, top-tier Eldrin Healing Pill, seemingly to temporarily suppress his injuries, and did not acquire any of these other treasures.
However, Eldrin noticed that the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace seemed to have cast his gaze toward the 7 Mysteries Daoist several times.
"It seems this 7 Mysteries Daoist is about to face a tribulation."
Eldrin exchanged voice transmissions with Lyra and the others, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Lyra gave a slight nod and said, "With the Yin-Yang Void Mirror in our possession, and the backing of Glazed Divine Lord and the Western Abyss Celestial Court, he wouldn't dare strike openly."
"But this 7 Mysteries Daoist has no profound background and has likely already been marked."
Seeing this, Seraphina Qu remarked, "If the Eightfold Celestial Dragon Diagram falls into the hands of the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, he may regain a portion of his former power."
"We have already made an enemy of him. I fear he will soon be plotting against us."
Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "After the Trading Assembly concludes, we shall act according to circumstances."
As the group continued their conversation, the auction proceeded without interruption. During this process, traces of World-Originating Qi gradually began to appear among the items being auctioned.
The value of the Primordial Chaos Qi was approximately 8 100 units of Faith Celestial Silver, or around 90 1000 units of Immortal Origin.
Eldrin had brought with him over 5,000 units of Faith Silver, along with more than 1,600,000 Immortal Origin coins—equivalent to approximately 2,300,000 Immortal Origin coins in total. His financial prowess was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Even so, Eldrin remained prudent with his spending.
Having just weathered the Great Tribulation, the newly ascended Earth Immortals in the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea numbered over 3,000, with the human race accounting for more than 1,000. Thus, an abundance of World-Originating Qi was present at this trading assembly.
Therefore, Eldrin cast a wide net in hopes of a big catch, placing bids on nearly every strand of the World-Splitting Qi.
His maximum bid was set at 8 100 Faith Silver or 90,000 Immortal Source coins. Anything beyond that would require him to withdraw from the bidding.
As the auction proceeded, though most strands of the World-Splitting Qi were acquired by others, Eldrin managed to pick up quite a few overlooked bargains.
By the time he had exhausted all his immortal essence and Faith Silver, Eldrin discovered he had acquired a total of 20-7 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi, each costing an average of merely 85,000 Immortal Origin Coins.
Having obtained 20-7 strands of Primal Chaos Qi, Eldrin had largely accomplished the primary objective of this journey.
He had no money left to bid in the subsequent auction, so he simply observed quietly, treating it as a chance to broaden his experience.
Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 3 years had passed. The auction assembly finally came to an end.
As the auction concluded, Fairy Yaoxi retrieved 3 more treasures from her sleeve and announced, "This auction conference has now come to an end. What follows shall be the exchange assembly."
"This humble 1 has prepared 3 treasures, hoping they may serve to attract greater jade."
As the words faded, Immortal Yao Xi withdrew 3 rarities from her sleeve.
They were respectively an ancient stone wreathed in chaotic qi, a dazzling 9-Colors Immortal Pill, and an ancient scripture.
"This is..."
The moment they laid eyes on these objects, all the immortals' faces revealed expressions of utter astonishment.
A Half-Step Celestial Immortal expert from the human race exclaimed in utter astonishment, "The Chaos Ancient Stone, the Great Immortal Elixir, and the Great Immortal Scripture!"
"Indeed."
The Fairy of Yaoxi nodded, then shook her head. "It is indeed the Taiyi Immortal Elixir (Immortal Pill) and the Taiyi Immortal Scripture (Immortal Classic). However, this Chaos Ancient Stone (Heavenly Material) is a defective piece, obtained by our sect’s Supreme Elder while guarding the Chaos Abyss (Forbidden Ground)."
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and let out a collective sigh of relief.
As Yao Xi Xian Zi introduced them, Eldrin understood the origins of these several treasures.
Among the 3 supreme treasures, the Taiyi Immortal Elixir was a supreme ninth-grade breakthrough pill. It was said that this elixir could increase a Perfected Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage’s chances of attaining the Taiyi Dao Fruit by 20 percent.
For those who have already attained 1 Primordial Unity Dao Fruit, it can also increase the probability of achieving a second Primordial Unity Dao Fruit by 10 percent.
Refining this elixir was an immensely arduous task, requiring not only alchemical skills at the Ninth Stage, but also the legendary ninth-grade celestial herb—the Great Unity Immortal Fruit.
That ninth-level immortal herb was exceptionally rare. Throughout the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, aside from the 2 cave heavens, only the Spirit Race's Ancestral Spirit Elder, relying on the Primordial Spirit Liquid, could cultivate such an immortal herb.
Legend has it that beyond the Great Unity Elixir, there exists another immortal pill known as the Primordial Great Unity Elixir.
It is said that the Innate Taiyi Elixir is refined from innate qi, the Taiyi Immortal Fruit, and several 1000 types of immortal herbs.
This elixir's value is 10 times that of a Great Immortal Elixir. It is said that after consuming it, an immortal at the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm will undoubtedly cultivate a foundation of the Great Immortality.
Even an existence with dual Taiyi foundations could increase their chances of condensing a third Taiyi foundation by 20 percent upon consuming 1 Innate Taiyi Pill.
Hearing this, Eldrin felt an overwhelming sense of yearning. If only he could obtain the formula for the Taiji Immortal Elixir and gather the Taiji Immortal Fruits to refine this treasured pill.
Then in the future, those dearest to you would also gain a greater chance of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
Aside from the Great Immortal Taiyi Fruit, the other 2 treasures were also exceptionally extraordinary.
That scroll of the Taiyi Immortal Scripture was named the 'Taiyi Profound Heaven Path,' said to have been obtained by the Supreme Elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven in his early years.
However, this method could be cultivated to the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, making it exceptionally precious. Yet, the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven would offer it for sale every few million years.
Although the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven forbade buyers from teaching this technique to others, over tens of millions of years, this scripture had become practically commonplace.
Most of the quasi-Celestial Immortals among the human race in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea have collected this scripture.
They may not cultivate this scripture themselves, but most would use it as a reference to create their own cultivation techniques.
The final Chaos Ancient Stone was a piece of ore originating from the deepest depths of chaos.
Know that within the chaos, there is no distinction between above and below, nor any differentiation of front, back, left, or right. The primordial void stretches boundlessly in all directions, devoid of heaven and earth, with only the chaotic currents scouring all existence.
Under such circumstances, any treasure capable of manifesting substance from chaos was exceedingly rare.
This stone material was transformed from the essence of primordial earth within the Chaos, condensed over hundreds of millions of years. Through the relentless erosion of chaotic torrents, it has solidified into an indestructible stone.
Theoretically speaking, it should be a Taiyi Marvel.
Alas, for reasons unknown, all the Great Ultimate Dao patterns within had been completely erased, leaving behind an indestructible slab of stone.
"Such resilient stone material, if integrated into a supreme defensive treasure, would render it even more unyielding."
