Chapter 1755 : Barter Convention

Once the Chen Clan began selling the Taiyi Gold Bamboo in bulk, they were certain to reap substantial profits.

However, profit can stir men's hearts. If the Chen Clan were to sell them in large quantities, it would inevitably draw the attention of those with ill intentions.

At this thought, Lyra asked with some concern, "The Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo can be sold, but I only worry it might bring trouble."

"Do not worry."

Eldrin shook his head with a faint smile. "The current strength of our Chen Clan has reached such heights that we now reign as sovereigns across the entire Vastblue Immortal Realm. We are no longer what we used to be."

"Moreover, those who bear us ill will would move against us regardless of whether we possess the Primordial Gold Bamboo or not."

"As for allies like the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven and the Great Void Grotto-Heaven, we can also supply them with a batch at low prices, just to maintain our connections."

"Very well."

Lyra gave a nod of approval, accepting Eldrin's approach.

Having resolved to sell the Taiyi Golden Bamboo, Eldrin immediately entered the Minor Universe of 5 Elements.

Within the 5 Elements microcosms, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) possessed the most ancient grove of Jade Marrow Golden Bamboos, numbering approximately 3,000 specimens at most. Each had matured to the peak eighth-grade realm, requiring the most economical amount of Primordial Spirit Water for cultivation.

Advancing a Lower Grade Taiyi Golden Bamboo using a Primordial Chaos Qi Vessel at the innate ancient treasure level costs approximately 50,000,000 immortal origins, while cultivating a Mid Grade Taiyi Golden Bamboo requires around 100,000,000 immortal origins.

The value of a mid-grade Taiyi Golden Bamboo was 3 times that of its low-grade counterpart, making it naturally somewhat qualified to advance to the mid-grade tier.

Eldrin did not cultivate too many at first, merely testing the waters with 30-6 plants, which consumed approximately 4,000,000,000 units of Immortal Origin in total.

Seeing the 30-6 Golden Bamboos of the Great Yin successfully cultivated, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but speak up: "Who do you plan to sell these 30-6 Golden Bamboos of the Great Yin to?"

"Within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, no single faction could cultivate so many Great Unity Golden Bamboo at once. As for the exact price, I'm not entirely certain either."

Eldrin spoke slowly, remaining in contemplative silence for a long while before finally saying, "Soon, the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven will host a Celestial Realm exchange gathering. By then, numerous Celestial Immortals from the Vast Azure Immortal Domain will take part."

"When the time comes, we shall present the Taiyi Golden Bamboo and see how many spirit stones this Taiyi Golden Bamboo is worth."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this. Cultivating the Great Yin Golden Bamboo was no easy feat. Aside from the 3 great celestial courts and major ancient sects that possessed specialized cultivation methods, even ordinary grotto-heavens rarely succeeded in nurturing the Great Yin Golden Bamboo.

Even if a blessed realm could occasionally nurture a Taiyi Gold Bamboo, it would only yield 1 or 2 stalks at a time.

However, the properties of the Taiyi Golden Bamboo are rather unique—they must be assembled into a sword formation to unleash their full potential. Only in large batches can the Taiyi Golden Bamboo command a high price.

At this thought, Lyra spoke up, "In that case, let's test the waters at the Trading Assembly."

Throughout the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain, a grand exchange conference at the Celestial Immortal level is held once every 1,000,000 years.

Such trade gatherings were always held in the celestial realms under the jurisdiction of several Ancient Immortal Cave Heavens. The previous 1 had taken place within the Cyan Sun Divine Realm, and this time, it was finally the Human Race's Pure Yang Cave Heaven that played host.

That day, the Pure Sun Immortal City was teeming with people. Eldrin arrived through the air alongside 7 or 8 Celestial Immortals from the Returning Abyss Cavern Heaven. Gazing upon the magnificent expanse of the Pure Sun Immortal City, his brow subtly twitched in response.

This Primal Yang Immortal City was ancient beyond measure, steeped in an aura of profound Daoist essence that could not be concealed. The lethal formations within made even Eldrin feel an overwhelming sense of trepidation.

"It seems this City of Pure Yang also has an extraordinary origin."

Eldrin murmured inwardly as he stepped into the Pure Sun Immortal City.

Noticing Eldrin's arrival, the Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven did not neglect their duties. The former Pure Sun Saint personally came to greet him, apologizing, "We have quite a number of guests today, so several Elders are unable to welcome you in person. I hope you won’t take offense, brother."

"Not at all, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly. As a Pure Yang Saint who had ventured into forbidden realms, his status within the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven ranked among the top 5. Such a figure personally greeting him could hardly be considered discourteous.

After all, the Exchange Fair was exceptionally busy, and being able to spare hands to receive him was already a mark of considerable regard.

Following the Pure Yang Saint, they soon arrived at a celestial island where the Grand Bazaar was being held.

Eldrin and the group ascended onto the celestial island, only to discover that over 300 Heavenly Immortals had already arrived.

Eldrin murmured, "There are quite a few people."

Chunyang Shengzi smiled faintly. "An Immortal-level Grand Bazaar occurs only once every million years. Unless truly bound by unavoidable commitments or traveling in distant lands, the vast majority of Celestial Immortals would make their way here."

"With the addition of 300 newly ascended Celestial Immortals during the Dao Tribulation, there will certainly be a considerable turnout this time."

Eldrin nodded, exchanged a few more words with the Pure Sun Saint Son, then watched as the Pure Sun Saint Son departed.

Soon, more Celestial Immortals arrived 1 after another. By the time the Grand Barter Assembly commenced, Eldrin was astonished to discover that a total of 512 Celestial Immortals had gathered for the event.

At the Barter Assembly, Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven was naturally the first to take the stage.

The host of this Trading Assembly was Chunxuzi. As Chunxuzi ascended the central platform, he swept his sleeve and revealed 9 rare treasures, then said with a gentle smile, "Honored guests, let this Trading Assembly commence. This old man shall begin by offering modest sparks to ignite a brilliant flame."

"Jade of the Great Void, Essence of Pure Yang Fire, Immortal Gold of Pure Yang..."

As he gazed upon the treasures before him, a faint tremor passed through Eldrin's brow.

The Pure Sun Grotto-Heaven truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme ancient immortal sanctuary, presenting 9 rarities at once—each a rare innate treasure.

Among the 9 rare treasures, the Pure Yang Fire Marrow offered several significant benefits to fire-aligned immortals. It could assist cultivators practicing the fire vein dao principles in breaking through to the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm. A flicker of desire to acquire it stirred within Eldrin (Person Name) as well.

"Alas, there are no top-grade innate treasures."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, a flicker of regret passing through his heart before he quickly shook his head.

Whether it be a top-grade innate wonder or a top-grade innate treasure, once something reaches this level, it is an object of immeasurable value.

Even within the vast Qiangcang Immortal Realm, it would be considered a destiny-defying treasure capable of suppressing the fortune of an entire Upper-Grade Paradise.

Have you not seen that the Divine Abyss Cave Heaven has dominated the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea for nearly 2 100 million years, yet possesses merely 2 superior-grade Innate Treasures?

This treasure is far too precious, its value cannot be measured in Immortal Origin. Even if the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven possessed it, they would never trade it so readily.

"Esteemed guests, the value of these 9 Treasures needs no elaboration. Should you possess suitable artifacts, you are most welcome to present your offers."

"As long as the price is right, or if you possess something our Pure Sun Grotto requires, feel free to approach this elder for trade."

Just as Eldrin’s thoughts wavered, Purevoid Master commenced the exchange gathering.

Chunxuzi presented 9 innate treasures, each capable of either elevating the cultivation of early-stage Celestial Immortals, assisting in breaking through mid-stage Celestial Immortal bottlenecks, or serving as materials to advance artifacts to innate-grade treasures. It was evident these were all tailored for the newly ascended Celestial Immortal powerhouses.

In recent years, the Vast Azure Immortal Realm had witnessed the ascension of numerous newly-advanced Celestial Immortals. Many among these celestial beings still retained Primordial Qi in their possession.
