Chapter 362. Ancient Furnace Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Object)

"Speaking of which, 1 has to wonder what tremendous fortune the Qin Clan has stumbled upon. Throughout the entire Heavenly Abode Continent (Location), only 4 or 5 Dao Bodies (Cultivation Physique) had emerged over 3 1000 years of accumulated destiny. Yet their Qin Clan managed to produce 3 Dao Bodies (Cultivation Physique) within merely 5 centuries."

Eldrin’s eyes flickered with a trace of killing intent as his gaze fell upon Malachai.

That Malachai (Person Name) seemed to sense something, following the gaze to look over, only to find Eldrin (Person Name)'s eyes had long since turned toward the distant horizon.

He cast a glance at Eldrin, a flicker of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He then turned to the Golden Core cultivator beside him and asked with a faint smile, "That person's bone age barely exceeds 2 100 years, yet they've already broken through to the Golden Core realm. Which clan's peerless genius might this be?"

"Who is that? That is the Sword Immortal of the Chu Kingdom, named Eldrin. It is said he is a peerless genius of the highest caliber."

The Golden Core cultivator then recounted the general origins of Eldrin to Malachai.

After hearing this, Malachai narrowed his eyes slightly. "Eldrin from the territory of Qingyang Sect in Chu Kingdom... Could this be related to what my father did back then..."

"It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?"

Malachai (Person Name) murmured inwardly before ultimately falling silent.

On the other side, Eldrin glanced at Lyra and transmitted his voice without a trace of emotion, "I inadvertently revealed a trace of killing intent earlier—this may bring some trouble."

"In for a penny, in for a pound."

Lyra said calmly, retracting her gaze.

The Trading Assembly commenced before long, and an Elder of the Golden Core emerged from the Ji Clan.

The old fisherman swept his gaze over the crowd, then said with a faint smile, "Esteemed guests, the Grand Barter Assembly commences once more today."

"Our Ji Clan offers 3 treasures. Should any of you possess Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object), you are welcome to come forth for trade."

As the man finished speaking, he clapped his hands and produced 3 objects.

Everyone who laid eyes on these 3 objects felt a flicker of astonishment stir within their hearts.

The 3 items were a deep violet treasure talisman, an ancient bronze cauldron, and 5 5 Elements Spirit Fruits (Spiritual Object).

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly as he recognized the origins of those 3 treasures. The 5 Elements Spirit Fruit needed no introduction—it was a precious treasure for breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

That small bronze stove resembled an alchemy furnace, yet it was not a true furnace, but rather a peculiar type of spiritual herb.

This elixir is known as the Ancient Furnace Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Object). It takes 1 1000 years to root, another 1000 to bloom, and yet another millennium to fully ripen.

Once matured, it produces a precious herb shaped like an alchemical cauldron, rumored to be potent enough to help cultivators mend their foundational deficiencies when ingested.

It is said that using this as the main ingredient, combined with the Creation Jade and the 5 Elements Treasure Beads, provides a 50 percent chance to elevate an inferior-grade Golden Core to a medium-grade Golden Core.

Such a miraculous medicine was naturally of incomparable value; to those in need, they would spare no expense, even if it meant bankrupting themselves, to acquire it.

And that deep purple treasure was none other than a Demon-Subduing Treasure Rune of the fifth tier. Not only was it a first-class rune of slaughter, but it could also aid cultivators in transcending the Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation.

Just as expected, these treasures sparked a frenzied scramble the moment they were presented.

Yan Ziji made the first move, expending the accumulated resources of the Violet Abyss Sect over several 100 years to acquire that Demon Refining Treasure Talisman for the price of 30 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

The Ancient Furnace Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Object) sparked a frenzied scramble. That Malachai (Person Name) outright offered a price of 40 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) and purchased it on the spot.

After purchasing the Ancient Furnace Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Object), Malachai (Person Name) revealed an expression of ecstasy.

Endowed with a Dao Body, if he could further advance his Golden Core, his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future would reach a full 40 percent. Should his father provide him with another Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object), the Qin Clan might truly witness the emergence of their third Nascent Soul True Lord.

"Hmph."

Watching him purchase the Ancient Furnace Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) let out a nearly imperceptible cold hum.

The Trading Assembly continued, and before long, the Eldrin Creation Pills began to be offered for sale. These pills could assist in breaking through to the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), and their value astonishingly started at 5,000,000 spirit stones.

In the end, Lyra (Person Name) purchased this treasure with a premium of 5.8 million spirit stones.

After purchasing this treasure, the 2 of them had spent over half of their spirit stones. From now on, they could only exchange treasures for other treasures.

Fortunately, the 2 of them possessed quite a few treasures. Eldrin exchanged a mid-grade fourth-tier Heaven's Edge God-Slaying Blade for 2 stalks of Heart of Heaven Herb. With these in hand, they could now proceed to arrange the refinement of the Golden Core Formation Pill.

In addition, he exchanged a fourth-tier mid-grade Calamity-Transcending Mystic Pearl for a Cloud-Returning Flower.

Within the Chen family vault remained a Water Element Treasure Pearl (Spiritual Object). With this Returning Abyss Flower, they could now ignite the alchemical furnace to refine a batch of Cloud-Returning Tribulation-Transcending Pills.

If a single batch yields 6 or 7 pills, then the time required for Eldrin, the Old Patriarch, and Elara to break through to Golden Core, Mid Stage could be shortened by 1 100 and 20 years.

After selling these treasures, the 2 had essentially achieved their goal for this trip. The only regret was their failure to acquire a Void Gem (Spiritual Object) this time.

After the Trading Assembly concluded, the crowd dispersed from the Ji Continent Trading Post (Location).

Before departing, Lyra (Person Name) cast a glance at Yan Zijī (Person Name) and said impassively, "Help me eliminate someone."

"Kill?" Violet Princess Yan paused briefly, then declared, "So be it!"

Without further explanation, Eldrin activated a tracking supernatural power and indeed sensed Malachai's location.

Fearing that Malachai (Person Name) might get too far ahead, they immediately activated the Verdant Sun Treasure Ark to perform a void jump, chasing after him without delay.

Although Malachai (Person Name) moved with extreme speed, the Qingyang Treasure Ark's (Magic Treasure) 30-1000-leap void traversal allowed the group to successfully intercept him.

Spotting the crowd from a distance, his heart sank with dread. He spun around and bolted for escape.

But everyone was well-prepared. Lyra (Person Name) was the first to strike, immediately unleashing the Mount Tai God-Suppressing Curse.

Not good.

In that instant, Malachai felt as though Mount Tai were crushing down upon him, his heart sinking like a stone into an icy abyss.

Though he was born with a Dao Body, his foundation was merely a mid-grade Golden Core, rendering his strength no more than that of an ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivator.

With her Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivation, Lyra's magical power was never inferior to his, and the combat prowess she displayed was even greater by several degrees. Now, as she pressed down with her divine ability, Malachai immediately found himself in a thorny situation.

"This is troublesome."

Malachai’s heart sank. Gritting his teeth, he produced a treasure talisman and channeled his spiritual power into it. In an instant, it tore through the void, carrying him away in a flash.

Eldrin’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Trouble—it’s the Void-Shattering Talisman!”

"With me here, he won't get away."

With a light shout, Yan Zi Ji (Person Name) raised her hand and summoned a pale purple treasure mirror.

This treasure mirror, named the Violet Heaven Evasion Mirror (Magic Treasure), was her life-bound magical artifact. It stood as a paramount tool for preserving 1’s life, capable of tearing through the void at any time and place to carry its master thousands of miles away in an instant.

Moreover, it possessed the wondrous ability to track targets, anchor spatial voids, and seal dimensional spaces.

With her current cultivation level, she could now instantly tear open a rift spanning 1 100 1000 miles through the void—1 of the key reasons Lyra (Person Name) had sought her assistance.

In the blink of an eye, the Violet Cosmos Mirror enveloped the trio and tore through the void, traversing tens of thousands of miles in an instant to materialize directly before Malachai (Person Name).

The moment she appeared, she immediately summoned the Violet Heaven Void-Traversing Mirror to seal the space, forcing Malachai (Person Name) into a position with no escape.

Eldrin let out a sigh of relief, his gaze sharp with killing intent as it fell upon Malachai.
