Chapter 1053 : A Bargain of Celestial Treasures
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a stir in his heart. The Bright Sun Pearl [a treasure that gathers and concentrates the power of the sun] could gather solar energy, while the Star Pearl [a treasure that draws down and channels starlight] could channel the radiance of the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms]. Both were exceedingly rare treasures of cultivation.
If he could obtain them, they would likely provide immense benefits for his future cultivation path.
Unfortunately, he possessed only a single Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pill [a supreme elixir harmonizing the forces of Yin and Yang]. The remaining treasures he owned were likely inferior to this pill.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen shook his head and said, "The Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pill is precious. I have only one in my possession."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Stella could not help but feel disappointed. This Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pill was not only useful for Solara, but also held significant benefit for her. She had not expected there to be only a single pill.
Thinking this, a trace of regret also arose in her heart. Yet she nodded and said, "Such a Pill [a refined spiritual elixir] being difficult to concoct is to be expected. If you can acquire more in the future, you may seek me at the Glazed Blessed Land [a sacred realm of crystalline beauty and spiritual abundance]."
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, a smile gracing his lips as he replied, "Once I return, I shall gather the necessary Spirit Medicine [spiritually potent herbs and plants] and attempt to refine two batches."
"However, this is a High Grade Immortal Pill [a pinnacle-grade elixir of immortal quality]. The difficulty of its refinement is considerable, and I dare not guarantee success."
Though he spoke these words, Eldrin Chen knew clearly in his heart that this was a transaction with guaranteed profit and no risk of loss. Support the author by reading on audio-novel . com.
The Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pill [a legendary pill that harmonizes the opposing forces of Yin and Yang] requires the Pure Yang Fruit [a fruit brimming with pure Yang energy] and the Profound Yin Flower [a flower imbued with deep Yin essence], which are not overly demanding ingredients. These two types of Spirit Medicine [plants infused with spiritual energy for cultivation] are relatively common; their only flaw is the extreme difficulty in ascending them to the Immortal Rank [the transcendent tier of spiritual materials].
Within his Spirit Medicine Garden [a garden dedicated to cultivating spiritual herbs], he still possessed a few of these aged medicinal plants. After a successful breakthrough, he could indeed refine a few more batches of pills.
Unfortunately, once those few aged plants were used up, acquiring Immortal Rank Pure Yang Fruit and Profound Yin Flower would depend entirely on luck and connections.
After all, both the Pure Yang Fruit and the Profound Yin Flower are merely Sixth Rank Spiritual Herb [spiritual herbs of the sixth tier]. Those rare enough to ascend to the Immortal Rank are exceedingly scarce. For someone of his current standing, they could truly be described as treasures one might chance upon but could never seek out.
"Your thoughtfulness is appreciated."
With those words, Stella fell silent, saying no more.
The group continued forward, eventually arriving at the heart of the Treasure Vault [a secure repository for precious artifacts and resources].
There, Divine Lord Glaze came to a halt. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned three radiant treasures, presenting them before the assembly.
"These are—!"
Eldrin Chen focused his gaze. Within the three beams of light, he discerned three wondrous objects.
They were, respectively, a resplendent Sword Embryo [the nascent form of a divine sword], a piece of seven-colored Lyra jade, and a Divine Pearl [a sacred orb of condensed spiritual power] emanating a hazy radiance. Each seemed to contain within it a light capable of startling the heavens themselves.
Without waiting for Eldrin Chen to inquire, Divine Lord Glaze spoke calmly, "The Treasure Vault holds many items for nourishing an unborn child's foundation, but the most precious are these three."
"I humbly request your guidance, Senior."
Gazing at the three treasures before him, Eldrin Chen was exceptionally respectful. His time in the Immortal Realm was brief, and his knowledge paled in comparison to the vast experience of Divine Lord Glaze. He dared not make a hasty choice.
Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod, then looked at the Sword Embryo and said, "This Sword Embryo is named the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo. It contains the power of heavenly thunder and lightning. Originally, it was the Companion Spirit Treasure [a treasure born alongside and intrinsically linked to a specific deity or being] of a supreme Postnatal Deity [a deity born into the world with a physical form, as opposed to a Primordial Deity]."
"That deity was slain before it could fully emerge into the world. This Companion Spirit Treasure passed through many hands before eventually falling into mine."
"It is a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest grade within the Immortal Realm]. Using this as the core treasure to nourish the fetus's foundation would grant the child a lineage no weaker than that of a supreme Postnatal Deity. In the future, there would be hope of reaching the Earth Immortal Realm [a high realm of immortality where one becomes an immortal tied to the earthly plane]."
Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this. Using a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure as a foundation-nourishing treasure would indeed bestow an astonishingly profound origin.
Refining this treasure would make the fetus akin to a deity of the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms]. The child's Immortal Physique [a body constitution inherently suited for the path of immortality] would be accompanied by a Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure intrinsically bound to one's life and cultivation from birth], born with the power of heavenly thunder and lightning. Its combat prowess would rank among the pinnacle of its peers.
However, Eldrin Chen did not make an immediate choice. Instead, his gaze shifted to the other two treasures.
Witnessing this, Divine Lord Glaze retrieved a piece of lustrous, seven-colored jade from her sleeve with a flick of her wrist.
"This object is named the Seven-Colored Immortal Exquisite Jade, also known as the Seven-Colored Exquisite Jade."
"It can aid the unborn child in opening its heart's apertures [the spiritual centers of perception and wisdom]. Once refined, the child will be born with the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart [a supreme innate constitution granting unparalleled spiritual clarity and talent]."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart, his expression instantly shifting to one of profound astonishment.
It was no wonder, for the mere mention of those five words—Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart—signified a pinnacle level of innate talent.
This constitution represented a supreme immortal endowment, not inferior to the Heaven-Opening Double Pupils [a divine ocular ability to perceive truth and unravel mysteries] or the Fiery Golden Eyes [eyes that burn with golden flame, capable of incinerating evil]. Its applications were boundless and inexhaustible, and it would naturally give rise to a Great Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power born from one's deepest nature].

At this thought, Eldrin Chen nearly chose the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart on the spot.
Yet, he reined in his impulse. One final treasure remained for Divine Lord Glaze to present; it would be wise to hear of it before deciding.
Seeing that Eldrin Chen did not rush to make his choice, Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight, approving nod.
She then revealed the last Divine Pearl [a pearl imbued with divine spiritual essence], her voice calm as she spoke, "This... is the Vast Sea Divine Pearl."
"Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine pearl born from the essence of the vast ocean]?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
His original purpose for this journey had been precisely for that Vast Sea Divine Pearl.
However, after witnessing the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo [an embryonic sword treasure of supreme grade, crackling with violet lightning] and the Seven Wonders Lyra Jade, Eldrin Chen had already changed his mind.
After all, the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo was a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest classification of immortal artifacts], while the Seven Wonders Lyra Jade was an unparalleled treasure of the Earth Immortal [a realm of cultivation surpassing the Nascent Soul stage] grade. In comparison, the Vast Sea Divine Pearl before them was merely a high-grade immortal rarity.
Moreover, the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo possessed peerless offensive power, and the Seven Wonders Lyra Jade held boundless potential. How could the Vast Sea Divine Pearl possibly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them?
Yet, for Divine Lord Glaze to now produce the Vast Sea Divine Pearl was somewhat unexpected to both Eldrin Chen and Nyssa Qu.
Noticing their expressions, Divine Lord Glaze smiled faintly and explained, "The Vast Sea Divine Pearl is born from an Immortal Clam [a mythical clam demon beast of immense age and power] of the Ascension Immortal Realm [a high realm of immortal cultivation]. It can not only serve as a nurturing treasure for an unborn child but can also be used to refine an Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact used by immortals]."
"However, because of its use in nurturing a fetus, it is rarely employed for refining an Immortal Treasure."
After detailing the profound mysteries of the Vast Sea Divine Pearl, Divine Lord Glaze continued, "You must be wondering why This Venerable One [a formal and powerful self-referential title used by high-ranking cultivators] would present this item, given it falls far short of the Seven Wonders Lyra Jade and the Violet Lightning Sword Embryo?"
"I humbly seek your guidance, Esteemed Senior."
Eldrin Chen nodded, his tone exceptionally courteous as he spoke.
Divine Lord Glaze offered a faint smile, then her gaze sharpened slightly as she said, "If one Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a legendary pearl containing the condensed essence of the primordial ocean] is not enough, what about three, nine, or even twelve?"
"This..."
Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart, unable to conceal his astonishment. "Can multiple Vast Sea Divine Pearl [legendary pearls containing the condensed essence of the primordial ocean] be refined together and used collectively as nourishment for the womb?"
"Indeed, it is so."
Divine Lord Glaze gave a slight nod of affirmation and continued, "Refining just three Vast Sea Divine Pearl [legendary pearls containing the condensed essence of the primordial ocean] together yields an effect no weaker than that of a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest rank in the Immortal Realm]."
"Refining six or nine would rival the Seven Wonders Lyra Jade, and if one were to refine twelve..."
Divine Lord Glaze paused briefly, gathering her thoughts before speaking. "The Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, a vast and mysterious oceanic region] holds two Grotto-Heaven [a Grotto-Heaven, a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy and natural wonders]. One is the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven, and the other is the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven."
"Within these two Grotto-Heaven [blessed realms of profound spiritual energy and natural wonders] reside Peerless Celestial Immortal [Peerless Celestial Immortals, cultivators who have ascended to the pinnacle of the Celestial Immortal realm], beings whose might shakes the heavens. They are among the most supreme existences within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."
"Over twenty million years ago, when the Supreme Elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven was with child, I presented thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearls."
"It is said the unborn child successfully refined twelve of them, later broke through the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and became the master of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven."
"A Paragon of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's face paled with profound shock.
To nourish an unborn child with twelve Sea-Steadying Divine Pearls, thereby forging peerless talent and achieving a direct breakthrough into the Heavenly Immortal Realm—what astonishingly profound Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundation of a cultivator's power] that represents!
