Chapter 220 Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) News
Eldrin immediately set his sights on the Cloud-Patterned Creation Pills. He produced the Luofu Vajra Seal and declared without hesitation, "I offer this treasure, plus an additional 20,000 spirit stones, in exchange for 2 Cloud-Patterned Creation Pills. What say you?"
The value of a single Cloud-Patterned Creation Pill is generally around 30,000 spirit stones, while a low-grade tier-3 defensive magic treasure is worth over 40,000. Adding another 20,000 spirit stones would be considered a reasonable price.
Before Yan Mingxu could respond, another voice suddenly rang out.
"I am willing to exchange this item for those 2 Cloud-Patterned Creation Pills."
Eldrin frowned slightly. The 1 making the offer was Yang Yuanhe, who had surprisingly produced a third-grade mid-tier treasure—the Violet Calamity Transcendence Thunder Bead—to exchange for this item.
The value of this Violet Calamity Tribulation Transcendence Pearl was approximately 100,000 spirit stones. Exchanging it for 2 Cloud Vein Creation Pills represented a premium of over 50 percent.
Seemingly sensing Eldrin’s gaze, Yang Yuanhe cupped his hands in a polite yet resolute manner and said, “These 2 Cloud-Patterned Creation Pills are crucial to my early breakthrough to the Purple Palace, Mid Stage. I beg your forgiveness, but I cannot yield them.”
Though somewhat displeased, Eldrin had already acquired the Li Fire Crystal, and with the Cloud-Pattern Fruits from Celestial Ruins Mountain available for refining Cloud-Pattern Creation Pills, he saw no reason to engage in bidding at exorbitant prices. Thus, he conceded the item to Yang Yuanhe.
Hearing that he was no longer bidding, Yan Mingxu revealed a faint smile and handed the item over to Yang Yuanhe.
The trading assembly continued, and soon it was Eldrin's turn. He stepped forward and presented 3 treasures.
1 was a third-grade mid-tier Cyanblood Demon Sword, another was the Luofu Vajra Seal, and the last was a third-grade Heaven-Earth Spiritual Treasure—Kunxu Earth.
The first 2 items need no elaboration. As for the last item, the Kunxu Earth, it was obtained by the Sun immortal clan of Yu County through a stroke of fate and offered to the Chen family’s shop in exchange for a single Foundation Establishment Pill (Spiritual Object).
In fact, the Chen Clan had acquired numerous treasures through their shops. Thanks to their impeccable reputation and status as a local Purple Manor clan, cultivators across Yu County consistently prioritized offering their rare finds to the Chens for trade.
After presenting the 3 treasures, Eldrin spoke with serene composure, "I have come solely to acquire the Li Fire Spiritual Liquid and the Sun Treasure Crystal."
"If you possess this item, I can prioritize an exchange with me."
Before long, someone made an offer. A Purple Mansion cultivator exchanged 4 portions of Li Fire Spiritual Liquid for the Luofu Vajra Seal.
However, the Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) was far too rare. Though everyone present were all Zi Palace cultivators, none had this item in their collections.
Seeing that no 1 was making an offer, a cultivator in blue robes from the Purple Mansion spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Chen, since no 1 possesses Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object), would you be willing to sell that Kunxu Earth?"
"I am willing to exchange a volume of Purple Mansion cultivation art for that Kunxu Earth."
"I wonder what kind of cultivation technique this is."
Eldrin spoke, his own interest piqued, for even a Purple Mansion cultivation method could enhance the family's foundation.
The man handed over the outline of the cultivation technique. Eldrin gave it a brief glance before shaking his head.
This cultivation art was known as the Thalion (Person Name) True Water Scripture, a water-attributed technique. However, it could only advance 1's cultivation to the first level of the Purple Mansion.
The Chen family’s Water-attributed Foundation Establishment cultivators practiced the *Mingyuan Daozhe Art*, rendering this technique utterly useless to them. Moreover, after breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, 1 could hardly afford to discard a cultivation method after advancing just a single layer.
"This cultivation method is only at the first level of the Purple Mansion, utterly useless to me. Moreover, Kunxu Earth can be used to refine a Life-Bound Magical Treasure. Your technique's value falls somewhat short."
The man in blue robes, merely at the second level of the Purple Mansion, quickly interjected upon seeing his refusal, "Though this cultivation technique is somewhat inferior, it is, after all, a Purple Mansion-level method."
"Moreover, should you be willing to complete this transaction, I would be prepared to share with you a piece of information regarding the Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object)."
Eldrin furrowed his brow, then spoke: "Are these words truly sincere?"
"Of course."
The man spoke while rubbing his hands together with a smile.
The 2 completed the transaction, and the man hastily sent a covert voice transmission.
7 million li to the southeast of the Chu Kingdom (Location), beyond the territories of the 6 states of Ji Province, lies the Heavenly Abode Continent (Location).
"30 years ago, I once saw 2 Sun Treasure Crystals (Spiritual Object) listed for sale at the Muyuan Market in the Yuan Kingdom of Heavenly Abode Continent (Location). I wonder if they're still available now."
30 years ago?
Eldrin's face darkened, feeling as though he had been deceived.
That was already something from 30 years ago, who knows if it still exists now.
不等他生气,那青衣男子又道:“实不相瞒,姬氏仙族的镇族至宝需要消耗大量Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object)温养,整个姬洲的此宝几乎都落到了姬氏的手中。”
"It is nearly impossible for you to acquire Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) in Ji Province. However, the ultimate divine abilities of the Nascent Soul sects in Lu Zhou's cultivation realm are not purely yang-based techniques, so your chances of obtaining Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object) would be considerably higher there."
Hearing this, Eldrin recalled some legends.
Ancient legends whisper that surnames like Ji and Jiang were once among the most revered lineages in this realm.
Rumor had it that the Ji Clan of Jizhou, in the distant annals of time, was once a supreme immortal lineage that possessed a Nascent Soul Dao Lord. However, for reasons lost to history, their Dao Lord fell, and the clan’s status declined to that of a Golden Core immortal family.
Even so, the Ji Clan still possessed a supreme treasure of the Primordial Spirit level. Relying on his formidable power, the current clan leader had even slain a Nascent Soul-ranked Demon Emperor and forced the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) into signing a covenant.
From that day forth, the demon race was bound by the covenant: they could only launch assaults upon the human race once every 100 years. Yet mankind remained free to strike against the forces under Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) at any time and from any direction.
That Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) possessed the bloodline of the Black Dragon Demon Tribe—a being halfway through its draconic metamorphosis! Yet even it was compelled to sign an unequal pact. This alone demonstrated the formidable might of the Ji Clan Immortal Family.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Eldrin decided to visit the Heavenly Abode Continent after the great battle of the Qingyang Sect.
The trading assembly finally came to an end. Though he hadn't obtained the Sun Treasure Crystal (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) had still gained considerable rewards.
He tallied his gains and found that he had fully exchanged for the Li Fire Spirit Liquid, obtained the Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object), along with a scroll of the Thalion (Person Name) True Water Sutra—a Purple Mansion cultivation method—and the refinement technique for the Unseen Immortal Sword (Magic Treasure). Additionally, he had acquired 40,000 spirit stones.
As expenditures, he parted with the Rofu Vajra Seal, a mid-grade third-tier Green Scale Shield, 3 taels of Enlightenment Tea, 1 piece of Purple-Veined Azure Gold, and a lump of Kunxu Earth.
After the transaction was completed, he didn't linger. Carrying his gains, he flew toward Yu County.
Meanwhile, in a desolate stretch of wilderness, 3 figures gathered together, led by Yan Mingxu of the Yan Clan (Immortal Clan).
The other 2 individuals were also known to Eldrin—1 of them turned out to be the Hong Elder Demon, a long-standing nemesis of the Chen Family. After years of absence, this demon had astonishingly broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
The last figure was a female demonic cultivator with a graceful figure, her cultivation also at the Purple Palace, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). She was clearly another demonic cultivator from the Devil's Cave Abyss.
1 human and 2 demons mingled together, appearing not the least bit incongruous. On the contrary, the 2 demons treated Yan Mingxu with utmost reverence.
The female demonic cultivator stood behind Yan Mingxu, a coquettish smile playing on her lips as she purred, "Master, has the bait been set for that plump mark?"
Chapter 1: Rebirth of the Immortal Sovereign The sky tore open with a flash of crimson lightning, illuminating the ashen clouds that swirled like primordial chaos. In that fleeting moment, a figure plummeted from the heavens, his immortal robes in tatters, blood staining the corners of his lips. "Li Changsheng (Person Name), you dare defy the Heavenly Dao? Today shall be your annihilation!" A thunderous voice echoed across the 9 Heavens. But when Li Changsheng reopened his eyes, he found himself in a dilapidated wooden hut. The spiritual energy here was so thin it was almost imperceptible. "What... is this place?" Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave. He had been the Immortal Sovereign reigning over the immortal realm for 30,000 years, yet now... he inhabited the body of a 16-year-old youth sharing the same name, an outer disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect (Sect Name). "32,000 years of cultivation... gone just like that?" Li Changsheng examined his current state—merely at the third level of Qi Refinement, weaker than an ant in his previous life. Suddenly, the door burst open. A girl around 14 or 15 rushed in, her face pale with urgency. "Brother Changsheng! The Law Enforcement Hall is coming! They say you stole a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills (Elixir)!" Before Li Changsheng could respond, the wooden door shattered into splinters. 3 figures in black robes stood at the entrance, their auras oppressive. "Li Changsheng, hand over the 1,500 spirit stones and 3 Qi Gathering Pills you stole from the Alchemy Pavilion, and perhaps we'll spare your life!" A cold gleam flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes. In his 30,000 years, no 1 had ever dared speak to him like this. "You think I, Li Changsheng, would covet mere 1,500 spirit stones?" The leading law enforcement disciple laughed mockingly. "Then how do you explain these?" He produced a jade bottle from his sleeve. But in that instant, Li Changsheng's expression changed—he sensed a wisp of demonic energy within the bottle. This wasn't just a frame-up; it was a lethal trap! "Since you seek death..." Li Changsheng slowly rose, his frail body suddenly emanating an intimidating aura. "I shall grant your wish." Though his cultivation was lost, the soul of an Immortal Sovereign remained. With a mere thought, he could summon wind and thunder! Dark clouds gathered overhead, and the howls of dragons and phoenixes resonated between heaven and earth. The law enforcement disciples stared in horror, watching as the youth before them underwent a breathtaking transformation. His eyes now shone with the brilliance of the sun and moon.
