Chapter 559 : Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object)

To return to our story, Grand Elder Tianxuan possessed no small number of treasures, with all manner of rare artifacts emerging from his grasp in endless succession.

Eldrin spent 60 Heavenly Crystals to acquire a Fire Vein Spirit Jade from him, which could be considered a modest gain.

Although there was also an Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) among these treasures, Eldrin (Person Name) lacked sufficient Heavenly Crystal (Spiritual Object) and could only reluctantly abandon it.

That day, Grand Elder Tian Xuan had sold off all the treasures in his possession before finally descending with the spirit stones and the 2 superior spiritual treasures he had obtained through exchange.

Next to step forward was Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name). With a single move, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) summoned over a dozen glowing orbs of spiritual light. He then smiled faintly and declared, "My lifespan has nearly reached the great limit of 50 cycles. I have come this time to exchange for life-extending spiritual treasures."

"These treasures are prioritized for exchange of life-extending treasures. Should any among you possess such items, you may freely select from them."

A thought stirred in Eldrin’s heart, and only then did he take a careful look at the treasure in Maris the Sea Steader’s hand.

This Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) was clearly an alchemist, and it appeared he had slain numerous great Nascent Soul demons. To everyone's astonishment, he possessed over a dozen Nascent Soul Formation Pills (Spiritual Object), along with several sets of materials including dragon bone scales from Nascent Soul demon emperors.

Among the most precious treasures were 2 strands of Earthly Vein Qi and 1 Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), accompanied by a spirit fruit shimmering with violet spiritual radiance.

"That is..."

Eldrin and Lyra exchanged a glance, instantly recognizing the origin of that spirit fruit.

This spiritual fruit was none other than the Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object), a supreme treasure essential for refining the Nirvana Pond. For Nascent Soul immortal clans, the Nirvana Pond was nothing less than an indispensable treasure.

This treasure not only enables Golden Core cultivators and above to reconstruct their physical forms, but also heals all manner of injuries. It could truly be called a supreme-grade life-preserving artifact of unparalleled restorative power.

It is said that by combining the Nirvana Pool with the Nirvana Rebirth Tribulation Art, 1 could even evade karmic ties from the womb. After death, rebirth within the Nirvana Pool would grant a new life, allowing 1 to tread the path of cultivation anew.

"This Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object) must not be missed."

After a brief exchange of thoughts, Eldrin sent a voice transmission to Maris the Sea Steader, "I possess a fifth-level Longevity Spirit Apricot. I wonder if it could be exchanged for that Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object)?"

"Truly?"

Maris the Sea Steader's eyes lit up, and he said delightedly, "The Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object) is worth approximately 200 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object), while the Life-Extending Spiritual Apricot holds comparable value. What would you say to an exchange between these 2?"

"Agreed."

Eldrin gave a nod and completed the transaction with Maris the Sea Steader. He then gazed at the earthy aura and inquired, “How do you price that Earth Mother Qi of yours?”

"Do you possess any other spiritual treasures?"

Maris the Sea Steader inquired. For him, a single Longevity Spirit Apricot would suffice, as he would attempt to form his Primordial Spirit within a 1000 years.

For a cultivator like him who possessed a personal Pure Yang Spirit Treasure, the odds of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm would reach 40 to 50 percent, barring any external tribulations.

Therefore, he naturally would not excessively purchase life-extending treasures. Investing resources into aiding his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was the true path to supremacy.

Eldrin pondered for a moment before producing the Enlightenment Spiritual Tea. "This tea of mine grows from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root," he explained. "Drinking it allows 1 to temporarily enter a state of communion between heaven and man, while also enhancing a cultivator's comprehension."

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Tea?"

A wild ecstasy flashed across Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name)'s face. For an existence of his level, if he could enter a state of communion between heaven and man with the aid of heaven-and-earth spirit tea, his chances of comprehending arcane power would increase dramatically.

Once 1 comprehends the secret forces of heaven and earth, there is a 70 percent chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm even without relying on external aids like the Nascent Soul Pill.

The reason why Caelum the Wavestrider (Person Name), the foremost sword cultivator of the Eastern Sea, provoked joint obstruction from demonic souls during his tribulation was precisely because his confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm stood at 70 to 80 percent.

That Caelum the Wavestrider (Person Name) had already attained the Great Perfection in sword intent, comprehending the true essence of the Oceanic Sword Dao, which fundamentally constituted a form of arcane power.

At this thought, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) said with a smile, "1 tael of Enlightenment Tea (Spiritual Object) is priced at 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object). How about exchanging 2 taels for 1 strand of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root)?"

"Agreed."

Eldrin nodded and completed the transaction.

The transaction was completed with an exchange. Maris the Sea Steader glanced at Eldrin, then asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that you possess the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root—the Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Eldrin’s face. Instead of answering, he countered, “What do you mean by that?”

This matter is truly difficult to inquire about. Maris the Sea Steader smiled faintly and said, "To be frank, 2 taels of Enlightenment Tea might not be sufficient for me to fully comprehend the true essence of Sea Stabilization."

"If you happen to possess Enlightenment Tea, Fellow Daoist, I'd like to establish a long-term trading arrangement with you first."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. After a long moment, he nodded and said, "My family's Enlightenment Tea Tree is only lower-fifth tier, producing a mere 3 taels every 3 100 years. If you seek more Enlightenment Tea, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another 3 centuries."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) revealed a smile and continued, "Might I request Your Excellency to reserve all of your Enlightenment Tea (Spiritual Item) for this old man over the next millennium?"

"I am aware this request may seem rather presumptuous, and I know the Enlightenment Tea must hold value for you all as well. However, this tea truly serves a vital purpose for this old man."

"As long as you agree to this old man's request, the price will surely satisfy you. Moreover, I shall owe you a personal favor from this day forward."

Eldrin and Lyra exchanged a glance, a faint stirring in his heart.

Although the Enlightenment Tea was precious, its current yield was far too scarce. However, if it could be exchanged for suitable treasures and earn a favor from Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), it would still be considered worthwhile.

At that thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "Since you put it that way, my Chen family's Enlightenment Tea shall be reserved for you from now on."

"Very well."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) smiled faintly and handed the remaining Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) to Eldrin (Person Name). "Consider this Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) as a deposit," he said. "Do not forget, my fellow Daoist, the 9 taels of Enlightenment Tea for the next 1 1000 years."

"As it should be."

Eldrin nodded and accepted the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root). With this deposit secured, the transaction was now formally established—a pact not to be easily altered henceforth.

After securing the 9 taels of Enlightenment Tea, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) revealed a faint, contented smile.

With the aid of this Enlightenment Tea, he felt his chances of comprehending the arcane force had significantly improved. Once he fully grasped the mysteries of this force, his prospects of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm would be substantially enhanced.

Shortly after the transaction of Enlightenment Tea was completed, the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) on the other side was also sold shortly thereafter.

The Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Sect made a desperate gamble this time, drawing upon the foundation his sect had accumulated over many years. He acquired the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) at the price of approximately 5 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

The Sect Master of Tianlu had obtained the treasure and joyfully cupped his hands toward Eldrin (Person Name), saying, "This old man has achieved his goal for this journey and shall not linger here any longer. Until we meet again, fellow cultivators."

"Then I offer my congratulations, Fellow Daoist. May your journey yield certain success, allowing you to break through to the late Nascent Soul realm in 1 decisive move."

After the departure of the Sect Master of Tianlu, the Exchange Convention continued unabated. 1 Nascent Soul great cultivator after another took the stage to present their treasures for trade.

To Eldrin's regret, however, no Tribulation Transcendence Blooms were available for sale this time.

When it was finally Eldrin’s turn to step onto the platform, he cupped his hands and declared, “Should any among you possess a Heavenly Tribulation Bloom for sale, I am willing to exchange a Life-Extending Elixir for this treasure.”
