Chapter 219 Purchasing Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object)

Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this. Ling Changkong intended to acquire third-grade magic treasures to withstand the heavenly tribulation. Whether he succeeded or not, these superior third-grade treasures would likely be destroyed amidst the lightning calamity.

This was precisely why the Chu Kingdom had nearly a dozen Purple Palace, Late Stage cultivators in almost every era, yet over thousands of years, they had accumulated only 60 to 70 Third-Class, Superior-Grade magic treasures.

Most of these treasures had names and lineages, all being the inherited heirlooms of major Violet Mansion immortal clans. If they were to be sold off, it would likely deplete the family's foundational heritage. When powerful enemies came attacking with their own clan-guarding treasures in the future, what would they have to counter them?

For a time, many abandoned their intentions, and in the end, only 2 cultivators completed the transaction.

1 individual exchanged a treasure for 2 Violet Qi Cloud Pattern Pills—this could hardly be considered a loss. Should he successfully break through to the Purple Palace, Late Stage by relying on these pills, the subsequent ascension of his natal magic treasure would fill the void left by the clan’s guardian artifact.

Another person, whose lifespan was nearing its end, secretly traded his clan’s ancestral treasure, the Qingxu Immortality Codex, in a desperate bid to prolong his own life.

The method to forge the last Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) had long been neglected, so Eldrin (Person Name) seized the opportunity to begin inquiring about the price.

"Esteemed guest, although the method for forging the Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) is exceedingly rare, it remains merely a crafting technique after all."

"You wish to exchange this item for a third-grade superior magic treasure? That's rather fanciful thinking."

Ling Changkong furrowed his brow, but upon seeing it was Eldrin (Person Name), he still put it away.

After all, the prestige of the Borderlands Sword Immortal shook the entire Chu Kingdom (Location). Whether in terms of battle achievements or innate talent, he deserved nothing less than full respect.

At this thought, he spoke in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist Chen’s words do hold some merit. If you possess a third-grade superior magic treasure you are willing to part with, I can offer an additional 80,000 spirit stones."

"This shield was forged from the scales of a Purple Palace, Mid Stage serpent demon I slew, ranking among the finest of third-grade, middle-tier defensive artifacts."

Ling Changkong nodded slightly. Although the Cyan Scale Shield was of a somewhat lower grade, defensive magical treasures played a crucial role during the Heavenly Tribulation.

At this thought, a flicker of desire stirred within him. Yet he began to bargain, saying:

"If you add another 20,000 spirit stones, I'll complete this transaction with you."

Eldrin couldn't bear to part with his spirit stones, so he spoke up, "How about I throw in an extra stalk of third-grade Enlightenment Tea?"

After the Enlightenment Tea Tree advanced to the third rank, it only produced a new batch of tea every 9 years, yielding a mere 3 liang of Enlightenment Tea each time.

However, the third-grade Enlightenment Tea was already exceptionally precious. Drinking it could temporarily triple the comprehension ability of an ordinary Zifu cultivator.

Over the years of frequently savoring this Enlightenment Tea, Eldrin's mastery of divine abilities had grown profoundly, unleashing a potency that had increased by another 30 percent.

Even the Solar Flare Sutra, through this experience, had advanced to the eighth level of the Purple Mansion realm. It could be said this tea was truly mystical.

The price of this tea on the market reached as high as 18,000 spirit stones per liang, and it was particularly favored by Zifu (Cultivation Realm) cultivators.

Upon hearing that he possessed Enlightenment Tea, Ling Changkong immediately agreed to the transaction.

After the transaction was completed, he couldn't resist adding, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you still possess any Enlightenment Tea? I'm willing to pay a premium of 20,000 spirit stones to acquire 3 liang from you."

After consuming the Enlightenment Tea, 1 could enhance their spiritual consciousness and cultivate divine abilities with greater profundity. All of these factors contributed to increasing the slightest chance of forming a Golden Core—no wonder Ling Changkong was utterly exhilarated.

Eldrin pondered for a moment before finally taking out 2 taels to trade with him: "I don't have much of this tea myself, so I can only sell you 2 taels."

Ling Changkong nodded in understanding. In his view, Eldrin had likely obtained this Dao Comprehension Tea from Lyra, so it was impossible for him to have too much on hand. Being able to acquire 3 liang of Dao Comprehension Tea was already incredibly fortunate.

Only Percival's (Person Name) eyes flickered slightly before he ultimately shook his head in resignation, deciding he was overthinking things.

Spiritual trees were already rare between heaven and earth, and the chance of 1 mutating into a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) was less than 1 in 10 1000—the possibility remained far too slim.

Have you not seen that in the vast Chu Kingdom (Location), only the 3 ancient and venerable sects each possess a single Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)?

Having obtained the refinement method for the Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) felt a flicker of joy in his heart.

This Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure) is a first-rate magical artifact. When employed in combat, it renders opponents utterly defenseless against its assaults. Particularly when utilized in ambushes, its effectiveness may very well rival that of lower-fourth-grade magical treasures.

Ling Changkong exchanged for 2 clan-guarding treasures and 1 mid-grade, third-tier defensive magical artifact. To his surprise, he even obtained 3 taels of Enlightenment Tea. Thoroughly satisfied, he descended the platform.

The second to step forward was Ye Jinshu. She likewise produced 3 treasures: 1 cultivation manual, 1 third-grade heaven-and-earth treasure, and 1 Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object).

The value of the Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object) was self-evident, while that cultivation technique was a fire-attributed Purple Mansion Art, serendipitously obtained by Ye Jinshu himself.

The third-grade heavenly treasure was the Sky Star Stone, said to resemble the Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) and serving as a crucial catalyst for cultivating star-based divine abilities.

After Ye Jinshu (Person Name) gave the introductions, he spoke again, "For these 3 treasures, all of you may make offers using spirit stones or items of equivalent value. Any reasonable price shall suffice for the trade."

Eldrin’s eyes immediately fell upon the Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object). Without hesitation, he declared, “I offer a piece of Violet-veined Azure Gold in exchange for your Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object). What say you?”

Violet Essence Gold contains the attributes of fire, metal, and wood. When forged into a magic treasure, it may even retain 3 supernatural abilities.

Moreover, cultivators with any of the 3 spiritual roots could utilize it. Such remarkable versatility, coupled with its potential to be refined into a life-bound magical treasure, rendered the value of this Mystic Gold among third-tier treasures exceptionally precious.

The piece in Eldrin's hand was of moderate quality, only suitable for refining into a mid-grade, third-tier magic treasure. Nevertheless, its value could still reach 60,000 to 70,000 spirit stones.

At the sight of him producing this item, Ye Jinshu (Person Name) was immediately captivated and completed the transaction on the spot.

Having obtained another Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) breathed a faint sigh of relief. It seemed that even refining a full cauldron of Cloud-Vein Creation Pills wouldn't hinder the breakthroughs of Kael (Person Name) and Lior (Person Name).

In the span of a mere moment, the other 2 treasures found their new owners. The Celestial Star Gem was acquired for 80,000 spirit stones, while the Fire-Attributed Purple Mansion cultivation method was exchanged for a mid-grade Tier-3 magic treasure.

Had that Purple Mansion cultivation technique been of any other attribute, Eldrin might have placed a bid. Unfortunately, it was fire-attributed and only reached the fifth level of the Purple Mansion realm, inferior to his own Solar Blaze Scripture. Thus, he dismissed the thought.

Over the years, several fire-spirit-root Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan, such as Caleb and Kael, had gradually succeeded in mastering the Solar Flare Sutra. Their strength now far surpassed that of other Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same level.

After the transaction was completed, Yan Mingxu (Person Name) stepped forward. The Ancestor at the 9th-layer of Purple Mansion (Cultivation Realm) swept his gaze over the crowd and directly retrieved several treasures.

Among those treasures, the first was 2 Cloud-Vein Creation Pills, the second was 1 Third-Rank Treasured Gold (Quantitative Description), and the third was a divine ability.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled through the mountain pass, carrying with it the scent of decay and withered leaves. Lin Feng tightened his worn robe, his breath misting in the chill air. His gaze, however, remained fixed on the distant peak shrouded in swirling spiritual mist—the legendary Mount Qingyun. 1 100 years had passed since his transmigration to this world of cultivation, yet his progress remained stagnant at the third layer of Qi Refining. Countless nights he had spent meditating under the moonlight, absorbing the scarce spiritual energy of this remote region. "Another failed attempt," he murmured, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The recent breakthrough attempt had nearly shattered his meridians. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light descended from the heavens, striking the ancient boulder before him. When the radiance faded, a peculiar jade slip lay embedded in the stone, glowing with ethereal patterns. Cautiously approaching, Lin Feng reached out. The moment his fingers touched the jade, a flood of ancient knowledge surged into his consciousness—the complete cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Art, along with memories from some long-dead immortal. His eyes snapped open, gleaming with newfound determination. "So this is my chance," he whispered to the wind. "The world of cultivation shall remember the name Lin Feng." Deep within his dantian, a spark of primordial chaos began to swirl, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy like a vortex. The very air around him shimmered as countless spirit particles converged toward his body. Unbeknownst to him, high above the clouds, an ancient being opened eyes that had been closed for millennia. "The Primordial Chaos Art has found a new master," the entity mused. "The game begins anew." Lin Feng stood, his previously frail body now radiating power. Before him stretched the path of cultivation—a road filled with heavenly treasures, ancient relics, and challenges that would test his very soul. But for the first time in a 100 years, he felt truly alive. The wind changed direction, carrying the faint echo of a dragon's roar from the distant mountains. Lin Feng smiled. His journey was just beginning.
