Chapter 559 Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object)

To return to our story, the Grand Elder Tianxuan possessed no small number of treasures, with all manner of rare artifacts emerging 1 after another in an endless stream.

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

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

That day, Grand Elder Tian Xuan had sold off all the treasures in his possession before finally taking the spirit stones and the 2 superior-grade spiritual treasures obtained through exchange, then withdrew.

Following closely behind was Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name). With a single move, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) manifested a dozen or so spheres of spiritual light, then said with a laugh, "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 trading for life-extending treasures. Should any of you possess such items, feel free to make your selections."

A thought stirred in Eldrin’s heart, and only then did he carefully gaze upon the treasure held 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 Nascent Soul great 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 Earth Vein Qi and 1 Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), accompanied additionally by a spirit fruit shimmering with violet luminescence.

"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 for refining the Nirvana Pond. For Eldrin Immortal Clans, the Nirvana Pond was an indispensable treasure indeed.

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 Tribulation Transcendence Art, 1 could even evade karmic ties from the fetal realm. Upon 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 transmitted his voice 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 is worth approximately 200 Heavenly Crystals, while the Life-Extending Spiritual Apricot holds comparable value. What would you say to an exchange between these 2?"

"Agreed."

Eldrin nodded, completing the transaction with Maris the Sea Steader. He then gazed at the earthy aura and inquired, "How do you price your Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root)?"

"Do you possess any other spiritual treasures?"

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) inquired, for a single Life-Extending Spirit Apricot would suffice for him, as he planned to challenge the Yuanshen (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 stage would reach 40 to 50 percent, provided no external tribulations stood in his way.

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 Spirit 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 look of wild ecstasy crossed Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name)'s face. For an existence like his, 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 the secret force would be vastly enhanced.

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, could provoke a joint obstruction of his path by demonic and monstrous spirits was precisely because his confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage reached 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 (Person Name) said with a smile, "1 tael of Enlightenment Tea (Spiritual Object) is priced at 1 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object). 2 taels together would perfectly exchange for 1 strand of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root). How about it?"

"Agreed."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and completed the transaction.

The transaction was completed with the 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?"

Eldrin’s expression shifted slightly. Instead of answering, he countered, “What do you mean by that, sir?”

This matter is truly difficult to inquire about. Maris the Sea Steader smiled faintly and said, "To be frank, 2 taels of Enlightenment Tea are likely insufficient for me to fully comprehend the true essence of Sea Calming."

"If you happen to possess Enlightenment Tea, Fellow Daoist, I propose establishing a long-term trade agreement with you first."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. After a long moment, he nodded and said, "My family's Enlightenment Tea Tree is only at the 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 Enlightenment Tea (Cultivation Resource) for this old man over the next millennium?"

"I am well aware that these words may seem somewhat presumptuous, and that the Enlightenment Tea must hold value for you all as well. However, this particular tea is of paramount importance to 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 henceforth."

Eldrin and Lyra exchanged a glance, a faint stirring in their hearts.

Though 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 this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "Since you put it that way, my friend, from now on, the Enlightenment Tea of the Chen Family shall be reserved for you."

"Good."

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."

"So it shall 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.

Securing the 9 taels of Enlightenment Tea, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) revealed a faint smile of contentment.

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 in the future 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 Sect Master of Tianlu Sect made a desperate gamble this time, drawing upon the sect's accumulated resources over many years to acquire the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) at a price of approximately 500 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).

The Sect Master of Tianlu had obtained the treasure and joyfully cupped his hands toward Eldrin, 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 you my congratulations, fellow Daoist. May your journey be crowned with success, and may you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in a single stride."

After the Sect Master of Tianlu departed, the Treasure Exchange 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 Blooms were available for sale this time.

When it was finally Eldrin’s turn to step onto the stage, he cupped his hands and said, “Does anyone here have a Tribulation Transcendence Flower for sale? I am willing to exchange it for a Longevity Extension Pill.”
