Chapter 1067 : The Auction of Divine Gold
Eldrin Chen listened quietly, committing this matter to memory.
After all, the Lingering Sun Sea was not far from the Crimson Dragon Sea; gathering more information about the surrounding seas was always beneficial.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the Divine Trace Purple Gold on the auction stage.
The purchasing power of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a high-grade currency used by powerful cultivators] was considerable. The value of one hundred pieces was enough to purchase dozens of Low-Grade Immortal Treasure [enchanted artifacts of the lowest immortal grade].
The fact that the opening bid was set at this price revealed the extraordinary preciousness of the Divine Trace Purple Gold.
And this was merely the beginning. As participants continued to raise their offers, the price of the Divine Trace Purple Gold soared, finally concluding at the staggering price of three hundred pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver.
"This item is actually so precious," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly.
Watching the ever-climbing price of the Divine Trace Purple Gold, a flicker of astonishment passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes.
The value of Incense Offering Celestial Silver was exceptionally high. Generally, just two pieces could buy a single Low-Grade Immortal Treasure. Even a High-Grade Immortal Treasure [a mid-tier enchanted artifact] typically required only twenty pieces.
Yet, this Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier enchanted artifact] could command such an exorbitant price, greatly exceeding Eldrin Chen's expectations. Visit www . audio-novel.com to enjoy the complete series.
"With my current wealth, I actually cannot afford this item."
Eldrin Chen's heart sank slightly. He had brought quite a few Immortal Pill this time, but after converting them, he only had around one hundred and eighty pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a high-grade currency used by immortals for offerings and major transactions].
If Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact [the highest tier of immortal-crafted magical weapons and tools] were all priced like this, then the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo would likely be the same, and he feared he simply could not afford it.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a sense of foreboding.
The Barter Convention continued. As a Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo was scheduled for auction in the seventh position.
Before he knew it, the item's turn arrived. Sun Consort carefully retrieved the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, her expression grave as she announced:
"This Azure Dragon Divine Embryo is a supreme-grade Fetal Nourishment Treasure [a rare spiritual substance used to nurture an unborn child with immense potential]. For those wishing to sire an Immortal Descendant [an offspring born with innate immortal qualities and supreme cultivation aptitude], this is the unparalleled choice for nourishing the womb."
"If you wish to acquire it, you may begin bidding."
Seeing the object of his desire come up for auction, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate. "I offer one hundred and fifty pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver," he declared.
The others present glanced at Eldrin Chen, and many who had considered bidding for the item began to have second thoughts.
One hundred and fifty pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a high-grade spiritual currency used in immortal transactions] was no small sum. With such wealth, one could purchase several High-Grade Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts used by high-level cultivators]. Even an Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [a cultivator at the peak of the Ascendant Immortal stage] might not be able to produce such an amount in one go.
Among those present, few possessed such financial capability. Even those who did would likely prioritize acquiring supreme-grade divine materials like Divine Trace Purple Gold [a legendary ore used for forging supreme treasures] to prepare for their own breakthrough into the Earth Immortal Realm [a major realm beyond the Ascendant Immortal stage].
As for nurturing their own descendants, buying a mid-to-low grade Immortal Artifact [an artifact imbued with immortal power] was sufficient. Who would be willing to spend such a fortune on such a precious Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact [the highest grade of immortal artifact]?
"It seems the situation is slightly better than anticipated," Eldrin Chen mused inwardly.
Seeing that no one spoke up, a faint sense of relief washed over Eldrin Chen.
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 Offering Celestial Silver [a high-grade spiritual currency used in immortal transactions]."
"Who is that…?"
Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly.
He looked up and saw Crimson Dragon Child seated in the distance, his gaze cold and fixed upon him.
As Eldrin Chen met his gaze, Crimson Dragon Child transmitted a voice message with a cold laugh. "That upstart Eldrin, my Third Prince [the third imperial prince of the dragon lineage] is about to be born. I am determined to obtain this item today!"
Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression turned slightly cold, and he refrained from making another offer.
Although the Crimson Dragon Patriarch had passed away in the past, he had left an incredibly rich legacy for the Crimson Dragon Child. Knowing he could not outbid such resources, Eldrin Chen held his peace.
The Azure Dragon Divine Embryo was sold for the staggering price of two hundred pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver. With no further bids, it ultimately fell into the hands of the Crimson Dragon Child.
Witnessing this, an Immortal nearby remarked with a thoughtful frown, "It is said the late Crimson Dragon Patriarch possessed the Celestial Immortal Aptitude [the innate potential to ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm], his talent ranking among the very pinnacle within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas."
"This Crimson Dragon Child's natural gifts are scarcely inferior to his father's. If his offspring were to also inherit the essence of the Postnatal Supple Wood Azure Dragon, would that not make for three generations of Celestial Immortal Aptitude?"
The other Immortals marveled at the notion. One sighed regretfully, "A pity the Crimson Dragon Patriarch was too proud and impetuous in his day. He attempted his breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of Earth Immortals] without sufficient preparation. Otherwise, his chances of success would have been seventy or eighty percent."

"Such is the way with these prodigies. Their unyielding pride fuels their meteoric rise, yet often, that same pride becomes their ultimate downfall."
The assembled Immortals continued their discussion, holding the Crimson Dragon Child in exceptionally high regard. They believed that with the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, his Third Prince might also one day have the hope of attaining the Earth Immortal realm.
Throughout it all, Eldrin Chen listened in silence, a trace of icy detachment flickering deep within his eyes.
The Barter Convention proceeded unabated. Dozens of treasures had been auctioned one after another when, at last, the turn came for the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed.
That Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed of an otherworldly lotus that can nurture a divine fetus] is also a superior-grade Fetus-Nurturing Divine Substance [a rare spiritual treasure used to nourish and empower an unborn child in the womb], making it a backup option for Eldrin Chen. This item is exceptionally compatible with Verdant Consort's Verdant Lotus Immortal Body [an immortal-grade physical constitution akin to a pristine lotus].
If not for its slightly lower grade, it would undoubtedly have been Eldrin Chen's first choice.
Now that the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo [a divine embryo with the potential of an azure dragon] had been seized by Crimson Dragon Child, this item became Eldrin Chen's sole remaining option.
After a round of bidding, Eldrin Chen finally purchased this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed for the price of twenty pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a special, high-purity spiritual silver used in celestial rituals].
After obtaining 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 Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade chaotic energy of creation] can compensate for it."
Compared to the Heavenly Dragon Relic [a sacred relic of a heavenly dragon] for his eldest son, the Heavenly Eye [a divine ability granting profound insight] for his second son, the Thirty-Three Sea-Calmer Divine Pearls for his third, and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade [a magical treasure of exquisite jade with seven apertures] prepared for the fetus carried by Exquisite Jiang...
...this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed was the Immortal Artifact [an artifact of immortal grade] with the lowest grade. Although the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Constitution [an immortal body constitution forged from the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed] it could forge was indeed an Immortal Body [a supreme physical constitution], it might not surpass Verdant Consort's innate Verdant Lotus Immortal Body, and naturally could not compare to the other divine objects.
Take his eldest son, Worthy Pursuit Chen, for example. Nurtured in the womb with the Heavenly Dragon Relic and further enhanced by Primordial Era Desolate Dragon Counter-Scale True Blood [the primordial true blood from the reverse scale of a Desolate Dragon], the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Constitution [a constitution of immense power akin to a heavenly dragon] he would forge would likely rank among the very pinnacle of Immortal Body.
Others, such as the Heavenly Eye and the Sea-Calmer Divine Pearl, far surpassed what the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed could offer. This stirred a faint sense of inadequacy within Eldrin Chen's heart.
Fortunately, the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed would be in perfect harmony with the child borne by Verdant Consort. Its effects might not necessarily be inferior to those of a Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact [an immortal artifact of the highest possible grade].
Moreover, the primary function of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme, primordial energy of creation] is to elevate the foundational potential of a Worldly Spiritual Root [the innate spiritual foundation of a cultivator] and a Spirit Herb [a plant imbued with spiritual energy], inducing a transformation of utterly astonishing magnitude.
If nourished continuously with Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, the metamorphosis of this Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed of a legendary lotus from the primordial abyss] would likely be far more profound.
"Since the grade of this Immortal Lotus Seed [a seed capable of growing into an immortal-grade lotus] falls short of the other items, we shall compensate by nurturing it more diligently with Primordial Chaos Violet Aura,"
Ultimately, Eldrin Chen resolved to use the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed as the Fetal Nourishment Treasures [precious resources used to nourish and enhance an unborn child's spiritual foundation] for Verdant Consort.
After purchasing the Abyssal Immortal Lotus Seed, the key objective of 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 stayed on at the convention to procure more treasures.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Eldrin Chen extravagantly spent thirty-seven pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a high-grade celestial currency used in immortal transactions]. His acquisitions comprised four Immortal Artifact [artifacts of immortal grade], one Creation Immortal Fruit [a fruit containing the essence of creation], and a complete set of Lifebound Immortal Treasure Refinement Art [an esoteric method for refining a treasure bound to one's life force].
