Chapter 1067 : Auction of the Divine Mark

Eldrin Chen listened quietly, committing this matter to heart.

After all, the Setting Sun Sea was not far from the Crimson Dragon Sea; gathering more information about the surrounding seas was always beneficial.

With such thoughts drifting through his mind, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the Divine Mark Purple Gold [a legendary metal imbued with divine patterns] on the auction stage.

The purchasing power of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a high-grade currency used by powerful immortals] was considerable. The value of one hundred pieces was sufficient to purchase dozens of Lower Grade Immortal Treasure [the most basic tier of enchanted artifacts used by immortals].

The fact that the opening bid was set at such a price revealed the extraordinary preciousness of this Divine Mark Purple Gold.

And this was merely the beginning. As participants placed successive bids, the value of the Divine Mark Purple Gold soared continuously, finally concluding at the exorbitant price of three hundred pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver.

"This item is actually so precious," Eldrin murmured inwardly.

Watching the Divine Mark Purple Gold's price climb relentlessly, a faint tremor of astonishment passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes.

The value of Incense Fire Celestial Silver was exceedingly high. Generally, just two pieces could purchase one Lower Grade Immortal Treasure. Even a High Grade Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact] typically required only twenty pieces.

Yet, this Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a pinnacle-tier enchanted artifact of immense power] could command such a staggering price, greatly exceeding Eldrin Chen's expectations. Experience the full epic at https://audio-novel.com.

"With my current wealth, I actually cannot afford this item."

Eldrin Chen's heart sank slightly. He had brought quite a few Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill this time, but when converted to Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare, high-purity spiritual metal used as currency among high-level cultivators], he only had around one hundred and eighty pieces.

If all Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest classification of immortal artifacts] were priced like this, then the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus [a supreme-grade spiritual material for nurturing an unborn child with immense potential] would likely be the same, and he feared he simply could not afford it.

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a sense of foreboding.

The Barter Convention [a high-level gathering where cultivators trade rare items] continued. As a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus was scheduled for auction in the seventh position.

Before he knew it, the item's turn arrived. Solara carefully retrieved the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus, her expression grave as she announced:

"This Azure Dragon Divine Fetus is a supreme-grade material for nurturing an unborn child. For those wishing to sire immortal progeny, this is the unparalleled choice for prenatal cultivation."

"If you wish to acquire it, you may begin bidding."

Seeing the object of his desire come up for auction, Eldrin Chen declared without hesitation, "I offer one hundred and fifty pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver."

The assembly glanced at Eldrin Chen. Many who had considered bidding for the item now began to reconsider.

One hundred and fifty pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare and potent celestial metal refined by divine flame] was no small sum. With such wealth, one could purchase several High Grade Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts used by high-level immortals]. Even a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the pinnacle stage before achieving true immortality] might not be able to produce such an amount in one go.

Among those present, few possessed such financial capacity. Even the minority who did would likely prioritize acquiring supreme-grade divine materials like Divine Mark Purple Gold [a legendary ore imbued with divine sigils] to prepare for their own breakthrough into the Earth Immortal Realm [the profound and powerful realm of an Earth Immortal, a major milestone in cultivation].

As for nurturing their own descendants, buying a mid-to-low grade Immortal Treasure [an artifact used by immortal cultivators] of Immortal Rank [the foundational realm of true immortality] would suffice. Who would be willing to spend such a fortune on such a precious Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest quality, rare even among immortals]?

"It seems the situation is slightly better than anticipated," he mused inwardly.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Eldrin Chen felt a faint wave of relief.

Just as he thought the item was about to fall into his hands, a cold sneer echoed through the void. "This treasure is precious. I offer two hundred pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare and potent celestial metal refined by divine flame]."

"This is..."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly.

He looked up to see Crimson Dragon Scion seated in the distance, his gaze cold and fixed upon him.

Noticing Eldrin Chen's glance, Crimson Dragon Scion transmitted a voice laced with icy mockery, "Eldrin, the Junior, my Third Prince is soon to be born. I am determined to claim this item today!"

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression turned slightly frosty, and he refrained from making another bid.

Although the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor had passed into seclusion in the past, he left an exceedingly rich legacy for Crimson Dragon Scion. myself simply could not outbid him.

The Azure Dragon Divine Fetus [a divine embryo containing the essence of the Azure Dragon] was sold for the exorbitant price of two hundred pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare, high-grade celestial metal]. With no further competition from the crowd, it ultimately fell into the hands of Crimson Dragon Scion.

Witnessing this, an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] nearby spoke, his gaze turning solemn. "Legends say the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor possessed the potential for the Heaven Immortal [Celestial Immortal] realm. His talent ranked among the very strongest within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas."

"This Crimson Dragon Scion's innate gifts are scarcely inferior to his father's. If his child also obtains the Acquired Yi Wood Azure Dragon Origin [a spiritual origin power embodying the Azure Dragon of the Yi Wood element], would that not mean three generations with the potential for Heaven Immortal?"

The Immortals marveled, and another sighed, "A pity the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor was too proud and ambitious in his day. He attempted to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm [Earth Immortal realm] without sufficient preparation. Otherwise, his chances of achieving Earth Immortal [Earth Immortal] would have been seven or eight out of ten." Published by audio–novel.com. All rights reserved.

"Such is the way with these Heaven's Chosen [those favored by destiny]. Their relentless advance is fueled by an unyielding pride. Yet, those who succeed because of that pride often ultimately fail because of it."

The assembled Immortals continued their discussion, holding Crimson Dragon Scion in exceedingly high regard. They believed his Third Prince, having obtained the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus, might also one day hope to attain Earth Immortal.

Eldrin Chen listened in silence all along, only a flicker of cold indifference passing through the space between his brows.

The Barter Convention proceeded without pause. Dozens of treasures had been auctioned one after another before it was finally the turn of the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed from a lotus that grows in profound, immortal abysses].

That Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed [a supreme-grade spiritual seed from the abyssal depths] is also a top-tier Fetal Nurturing Divine Objects [divine objects used to nurture an unborn child's foundation], making it a potential choice for Eldrin Chen. This item is exceptionally compatible with Verdant Consort's Green Lotus Immortal Constitution [an immortal-grade physical constitution embodying the essence of the verdant lotus].

Were it not for its slightly lower grade, it would undoubtedly have been Eldrin Chen's first choice among treasures.

Now that the Azure Dragon Divine Fetus [a divine fetus containing the essence of the Azure Dragon] had been seized by Crimson Dragon Scion, this seed became Eldrin Chen's sole remaining option.

After a round of bidding, Eldrin Chen finally acquired this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed for the price of twenty pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare celestial metal refined from incense-fire].

Having obtained the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed, Eldrin Chen pondered inwardly, "The grade of this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed is somewhat lacking. I wonder if the Acquired Primordial Violet Qi [a strand of primordial violet energy acquired post-natally] can compensate for its shortcomings."

Compared to the Heavenly Dragon Relic [a sacred relic of the Heavenly Dragon] for his eldest son, the Heavenly Eye [a divine ability granting celestial vision] for his second son, the Thirty-Three Sea-Steadying Divine Pearls [a set of thirty-three divine pearls that calm the seas] for his third son, and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade [a piece of exquisite jade with seven apertures] prepared for the child Lyra Jiang carried...

...this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed was the lowest-grade among the Immortal Treasures [treasures of immortal rank]. The Abyssal Immortal Lotus Constitution [an immortal physique forged from the Abyssal Immortal Lotus] it could forge, while indeed an Immortal Physique [a physical constitution of immortal rank], might not surpass Verdant Consort's innate Green Lotus Immortal Constitution, and naturally paled in comparison to the other divine objects.

Take his eldest son, Xander Chen, for instance. Nurtured in the womb with the Heavenly Dragon Relic and further blessed with the True Blood of the Primordial Desolate Dragon's Reverse Scale [the true blood from the reverse scale of a Primordial Desolate Dragon], the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Constitution [a constitution of immense power embodying the Heavenly Dragon] he forged would likely rank among the very pinnacle of Immortal Physique.

Others, such as the Heavenly Eye and the Sea-Steadying Divine Pearl [a divine pearl that steadies the seas], far outstripped what the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed could offer. This stirred a vague sense of indebtedness within Eldrin Chen's heart.

Fortunately, this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed would be in perfect harmony with the child of Verdant Consort. Its effects might not fall short of those from a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [an immortal treasure of the supreme grade] after all.

Moreover, the paramount function of Primordial Essence [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] is to elevate the foundational grade of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [the innate spiritual foundation of a cultivator] or a Spirit Medicine [a plant imbued with spiritual energy], inducing a transformation of utterly astonishing magnitude.

If nourished continuously with Primordial Essence, the metamorphosis of this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed of a legendary lotus born from profound abyssal energies] would likely be far more profound.

"Since the grade of this Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed from an immortal-grade lotus] falls short compared to the other items, we shall compensate by lavishing it with more Primordial Essence for its nourishment,"

Ultimately, Eldrin Chen resolved himself, deciding to use the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed as the nurturing substance for Verdant Consort during her pregnancy.

After purchasing the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed, the key objective for Eldrin Chen's visit here was accomplished.

The Barter Convention [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare cultivation resources] continued, and with a considerable sum still remaining in his possession, Eldrin Chen chose to stay at the Barter Convention to procure further treasures.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Eldrin Chen extravagantly spent thirty-seven pieces of Incense Fire Celestial Silver [a rare, silvery metal refined by celestial fire and incense over eons]. In total, he acquired four pieces of Immortal Treasures [rare materials suitable for crafting immortal-grade artifacts], one Creation Immortal Fruit [a fruit said to contain the essence of creation itself], and a set of Method for Refining Natal Immortal Treasures [an esoteric technique for forging one's life-bound immortal treasures].
