Chapter 1552 : A Daoist's Audience and an Immortal Peach

Utilizing the Void Gate [a mystical portal that allows for instantaneous travel across vast distances], Eldrin Chen swiftly arrived at the periphery of the Seven Mysteries Abode of Bliss [a secluded sanctuary renowned for its profound mysteries and spiritual tranquility].

The timing was not particularly fortuitous, as Qixuan the Daoist was currently within his Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep, undisturbed meditation and cultivation]. Eldrin Chen could only present his Visiting Card [a formal token bearing one's name and affiliation, used to request an audience] and then wait patiently outside the Seven Mysteries Abode of Bliss.

Fortunately, Qixuan the Daoist was not engaged in a life-or-death seclusion [a form of closed-door cultivation from which one does not emerge until a specific goal is achieved or death occurs], and he emerged from his meditation not long after.

After concluding his seclusion and seeing that Eldrin Chen had been waiting for some time, Qixuan the Daoist spoke with polite courtesy.

Eldrin Chen offered a slight smile and promptly clasped his hands in a respectful salute, saying:

With a hearty laugh, Qixuan the Daoist then led Eldrin Chen into a serene courtyard within the compound.

After exchanging pleasantries with Eldrin Chen for a short while, he broached the main subject.

Qixuan the Daoist was momentarily taken aback, then spoke.

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before replying.

Qixuan the Daoist laughed heartily once more, stroking his beard as he spoke. This content originates from audi novel.com. Please respect copyright.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes gleamed faintly with a spark of interest.

With a flick of his sleeve, he produced a single Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Immortal Peach [a legendary fruit of immense spiritual potency, said to grant longevity and profound cultivation insights], and spoke:

Qixuan the Daoist took a glance, his expression shifting subtly with a trace of awe as he said.

As he spoke, Qixuan the Daoist examined the fruit more closely, his voice tinged with palpable desire: "This is indeed a supreme treasure. Its spiritual aura is profound and pure, a true rarity even in the immortal realms."

At this point, Qixuan the Daoist could not help but voice his thoughts: "Fellow Daoist, such an item is beyond priceless. What do you seek in exchange?" Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and replied, "I require a source of pure Immortal Source [the foundational, primordial energy from which all immortal power is derived]."

Qixuan the Daoist pondered for a brief moment before stating his offer.

Eldrin Chen shook his head, a firm resolve in his tone as he countered.

Hearing this, Qixuan the Daoist felt a surge of inward delight.

He did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately declaring his agreement.

As he spoke, Qixuan the Daoist, fearing Eldrin Chen might reconsider, hastily produced the agreed-upon quantity of Immortal Source and completed the transaction with him.

Having obtained Thirty Million Immortal Sources, Eldrin Chen felt a moment of profound calm. He retrieved a single Seven-Colored Divine Pearl from his sleeve and spoke:

Qixuan the Daoist's heart trembled with sudden, overwhelming joy.

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, his expression serene as he replied:

This pearl was, in fact, a Supreme Grade Heaven-Opening Rare Treasure [a primordial treasure of the highest order, born from cosmic forces] that had been conceived when Divine Lord Glaze broke through to the Taiyi Realm [the Supreme Unity Realm, a profound stage of immortal cultivation]. It could be used to forge a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact capable of cleaving through primordial chaos]. If used as an alchemical ingredient, it could increase one's chances of achieving a breakthrough into the Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [a legendary immortal body of perfect unity] by ten percent.

Originally, Eldrin Chen had intended to preserve this treasure for a future clan member who had reached the Immortal [True Immortal] realm, to aid their attempt to ascend to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a quasi-Celestial Immortal state].

However, now that he possessed the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth, which allowed him to cultivate the Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot [a spiritual shoot containing the essence of primordial unity], he could refine the even more potent Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a golden body pill forged from primordial unity essence]. In comparison, the pearl's value had become somewhat redundant.

Thus, offering it now in exchange for Immortal Source [the foundational energy source for immortals] seemed to Eldrin Chen a most efficient use of its latent power.

For Qixuan the Daoist, this single Seven-Colored Immortal Clam Pearl was the treasure he had dreamt of—a key that could unlock his path to the Taiyi Realm.

The moment he laid eyes upon the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam Pearl, Qixuan the Daoist drew a sharp, steadying breath and declared:

Eldrin Chen spoke with a faint, knowing smile gracing his lips.

Qixuan the Daoist [a powerful cultivator] nodded upon hearing this. Thirty Million Immortal Sources [a vast quantity of purified spiritual energy crystals] was indeed a substantial price.

Generally speaking, if Eldrin Chen were to take such an item to an auction, the final price would likely be around this figure.

Of course, such a rare treasure of the Eighth Rank Supreme Grade [the pinnacle of the eighth cultivation tier] is seldom put up for auction. Whenever it appears at a Barter Convention [a high-level gathering for trading rare cultivation resources], it is typically used to exchange for other treasures of equivalent rank, rarely being traded for mere Immortal Source [purified spiritual energy crystals].

While Qixuan the Daoist did not possess a top-tier treasure of his own, he certainly lacked no Immortal Source. Naturally, he was willing to purchase this treasure. Without haggling, he immediately bought the Seven-Colored Immortal Clam Pearl [a mystical pearl of immense power] for Thirty Million Immortal Sources.

After acquiring this precious treasure, Qixuan the Daoist could not help but voice his anticipation:

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen could not suppress a flicker of envy. This chapter is provided by audio-novel*com. Support the original.

As he understood it, Qixuan the Daoist controlled a Large Immortal Source Vein [a major deposit of spiritual energy crystals]. It now appeared this mine was not insignificant even among Large Immortal Source Mine [large-scale spiritual energy crystal deposits].

It must be understood that within the Immortal Domain [the realm of cultivators and immortals], the scale of an Immortal Source Vein [a deposit of spiritual energy crystals] is generally categorized as Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Giant, or even Super-Giant Immortal Source Vein [an exceptionally vast deposit].

A Micro Immortal Source Vein yields extremely little, producing only a few dozen Immortal Source every Millennium [a period of one thousand years]. Such a vein, even over a million years, would yield merely a few tens of thousands of Immortal Source.

A Small Immortal Source Mine yields dozens of times more than a Micro one, producing several hundred Immortal Source every Millennium. Calculated over a million years, its output would start at several hundred thousand Immortal Source.

Medium-sized Immortal Source Mine are exceedingly rare. The yield of such a vein is more than ten times that of a small mine, capable of producing several million Immortal Sources [highly concentrated and purified crystals of spiritual energy] roughly every million years.

Within the entire Eldrin's Hundred Seas, there is only one medium-sized Immortal Source Vein, currently controlled by the Chen Immortal Clan. It yields approximately seven million Immortal Sources every million years.

A large Immortal Source Mine yields ten times more than a medium one. It is said that every million years, such a mine can produce at least twenty to thirty million Immortal Sources. As for the colossal Immortal Source Mine above that, those can only form by relying on a Chaos Abyssal Cavern [a primal fissure in reality where chaotic energies converge].

It is said the Immortal Source output of such a colossal mine is a hundredfold that of a Large Immortal Source Mine. In the whole of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, there exists only one, jointly occupied by the two Grotto-Heaven [superior realms or paradises for cultivation] of Western Qi and Divine Abyss.
