Chapter 577. Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object)

Both the Stellar Glazed Body (Spiritual Root) and the Great Divination Heavenly Art (Divine Ability) fall into the latter category. To cultivate these 2 divine abilities to their Great Perfection realm, no external resources such as the essence of the 5 elements are required. Instead, they demand the most crucial auxiliary spiritual treasures.

However, the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction (Magic Treasure) required 9 Star Fragments (Spiritual Object) as materials, while the Star-Viewing Tower needed a Void Gem (Spiritual Object), fifth-grade spirit wood, and 7 Star Fragments (Spiritual Object) to be forged.

Given Eldrin's current assets, refining this Star-Gazing Plate would likely prove no easy feat.

"Very well, I shall make plans for those 2 special spiritual treasures another day."

Eldrin rose to his feet and stepped out of his secluded cultivation chamber, only to find Lyra and Lila had been waiting for quite some time.

Seeing him emerge from seclusion, Lyra (Person Name) remarked, "The Grand Barter Assembly is about to commence. Had you not left closed-door cultivation, I would have proceeded ahead without you."

"How could I miss such an important day?"

Eldrin smiled faintly and handed 2 jade slips to the pair. "Having now cultivated the Stellar Glazed Body to the Minor Achievement stage, these are my personal insights and reflections. You may use them for reference."

Without delay, the 3 of them headed straight for the Exchange Pavilion and soon stepped inside.

This Trading Assembly was attended by over 1 100 True Monarchs, making it a rather bustling gathering of such esteemed figures.

The 3 of them were all visiting cultivators with no acquaintances in this place, though Lila (Person Name) happened to know a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Her gaze swept across them as she remarked, "Among these True Monarchs, several were once contenders for the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root). Yet having only recently attained their Nascent Souls, they remain far from formidable."

"I don't know many of those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators well, though I have met the Profound Ice True Monarch from the Flying Snow Pavilion before."

As she narrated, Eldrin’s gaze shifted toward the Profound Ice True Monarch. A single glance was all it took for Eldrin to furrow his brow.

Clad in pristine white robes, the Mystic Ice True Monarch possessed peerlessly handsome features and an aura of profound frost.

However, this individual's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. In terms of aura alone, he was likely second only to Eldrin (Person Name), the number 1 rogue cultivator of the Eastern Wastelands.

Seeing this, Lila (Person Name) nearby transmitted her voice in a low tone, "This True Monarch of Profound Ice is the Grand Elder of the Flying Snow Pavilion. Rumor has it that he has gained the recognition of the sect's ultimate treasure and now wields the Profound Soul Pearl."

Eldrin’s heart jolted with sudden alarm. The Profound Soul Pearl was a lower-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasure, an asset of immeasurable value even across the entire realm. He never expected it would willingly acknowledge the allegiance of the Mystic Ice True Monarch.

At this thought, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Instead of letting Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) take charge of the Feixue Tower, they chose the Mystic Ice True Monarch. It seems this individual must possess the aptitude for the Nascent Soul (Cultivation Realm)."

While the group was still discussing, the Exchange Assembly had already commenced.

Xuanbing Zhenjun was the first to step forward. With a flick of his sleeve, he released several spiritual objects: a mystical flower shimmering with immortal radiance, a ginseng root shaped like a miniature human figure, and a few other numinous treasures.

Eldrin’s eyes lit up with astonishment at first glance. Exchanging a look with Lyra, he made his decision instantly.

That exotic flower was none other than the Tribulation Bloom—the crucial catalyst for cultivating the Nirvana Tribulation Transcendence Art. Eldrin had sought this very item for many years, and had cultivated it for decades within the family's several fifth-order spirit veins. At long last, he had finally found it.

Sure enough, Eldrin swept his gaze over the assembly before declaring, "The treasures I hold today include the Heavenly Tribulation Blossom, a 5-1000-year Snow Ginseng, among others. Should any of you possess suitable spirit treasures, you may approach to exchange."

Eldrin’s heart stirred, and he immediately sent a voice transmission to the Profound Ice True Monarch: "I possess 2 Fire Vein Spirit Jades. May I exchange them for this Tribulation Transcendence Flower?"

A thought stirred within the Mystic Frost True Lord. Fire Vein Spirit Jades were exceedingly rare in the polar ice plains. Whereas in the Eastern Wastelands, these jades were valued at 60-some Heavenly Crystals each, here a single piece could often fetch over a 100 Heavenly Crystals.

Some cultivators coveted the profits involved, but such business had long been monopolized by the Drifting Snow Pavilion—not just anyone could get a piece of the action.

If they wished to make a purchase, they would either have to buy from the Drifting Snow Pavilion or risk traveling to other major domains where they were unfamiliar with the terrain.

In fact, this was extremely perilous. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, if they ventured recklessly into other major domains without any connections or support, could become easy prey in the eyes of local malevolent cultivators.

At this thought, Xuanbing Zhenjun (Person Name) nodded and said, "I agree to this transaction."

After the 2 completed the transaction for the Tribulation Flower, Eldrin turned his gaze toward the fifth-grade Snow Ginseng and inquired, "How much for this item?"

This fifth-level snow ginseng was a spiritual herb that greatly replenished vital energy. When combined with fifth-level fire ginseng, it could be refined into the 'Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object)'.

The Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object) greatly nourishes a cultivator's Nascent Soul. Upon consumption, it could significantly enhance the cultivation of an ordinary True Lord, even allowing them to break through 1 layer of cultivation, roughly saving them 300 years of arduous training.

Even though Eldrin and Lyra possessed spiritual power far surpassing others of their rank, it was estimated this could still increase their cultivation by half a level, allowing them to break through to Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier 1 step sooner.

Thus, Eldrin wished to purchase it, intending to reserve it for refining the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill in the future.

"Our Flying Snow Pavilion cultivates quite a few of these snow ginseng plants," he remarked, "yet unfortunately, we lack an underground fire vein to nurture fire ginseng."

The Mystic Ice True Monarch let out a sigh before speaking, “If you desire it, you may take it for 80 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object).”

"Deal."

A surge of delight rose in Eldrin's heart. In the Eastern Wastelands, this fifth-level snow ginseng could likely fetch 1 100 20 Heavenly Crystals, yet its price here was considerably more affordable.

After the transaction was completed, Eldrin obtained 2 rare and precious spiritual materials, which could be considered as having nearly fulfilled his desires.

In the remaining transactions, he exchanged several treasures and supplies he had prepared and brought along for some local specialties not found in the Eastern Wastelands (Location), making it quite a fruitful haul.

Among them was a stalk of Icy Heart Jade Treasure, prized for its exceptional ability to calm the mind, focus spiritual energy, and subdue inner demons. Eldrin had specifically procured it to forge a unique spiritual treasure, intended to aid the clan’s cultivators in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After exhausting all the resources in his possession that could be exchanged for spiritual objects, Eldrin did not linger any longer. He immediately departed from the Flying Snow Pavilion with his companions.

Yet not long after his departure, 3 Nascent Soul True Lords stealthily gave chase.

"What a nuisance."

Lyra frowned, gazing at the several figures pursuing her as she remarked.

Clearly, the other party had discerned that they came from beyond the Northern Icelands and sought to seize the opportunity for a robbery—to kill and plunder their treasures.

Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Lila and said, “You’ve only just broken through recently. It would be best for you to stay on the treasure ship and look after your 2 disciples.”

"Understood." Lila nodded, her gaze flickering with a trace of solemnity.

At that very moment, 3 Nascent Soul True Monarchs closed in upon him.

These 3 Eldrin (Person Name) were all at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). 1 was a burly man, another appeared as a scholar in white robes, while the last took the form of a young maiden draped in black gossamer.

As the treasure vessel came to a halt, the white-robed scholar smiled and said, "In our Ancient Snow Domain, cultivators from beyond the Northern Wastes are rare. I never expected to encounter 1 today."

"It seems my fortune runs deep. Perhaps after today, I shall acquire a Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) and break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."
