Chapter 1025: 934 Snow Soul Immortal Crystal

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent.

In Qianling Marketplace, the streets were brimming with people like a surging river, amidst the clamor of horses and carriages.

At the entrance of a treasure pagoda that shimmered with golden light, a long line was formed. The pagoda stood a hundred feet tall, and its body was engraved with numerous patterns of mystical animals and spirit insects. The words "Qianling Pagoda" were clearly visible.

Today was the day of the auction, and many cultivators lined up to enter the venue.

The Qianling Sect introduced a complete set of top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, Eighth Rank Talismans, Eighth Rank Puppet Beasts, Eighth Rank Elixirs, and other fine items, attracting over a hundred Mahayana cultivators from dozens of realms to attend.

All affiliated forces of the Qianling Sect had sent Mahayana cultivators, one to participate in the auction, and the other to meet Shen Long.

In Qianling Garden, Chu Buyu, Heaven Venerable Badao, Wang Tianyang, Ni Tianting, and more than ten other Mahayana cultivators were sitting in a green stone pavilion discussing the Dao over tea.

Not far away, a courtyard was filled with flashes of lightning and thunder, and numerous green lotus shadows could be seen. This phenomenon was caused by the refining of top-grade elixirs, which the cultivators had grown accustomed to.

"The Heaven Venerable Tombs are that terrifying? If it weren’t for Taoist Friend Ye, we wouldn’t even know about this place," Wang Tianyang said with emotion.

"Knowing is useless. Without the strength of a Heaven Venerable, the Heaven Venerable Tombs are not a place you can go. There’s no need for you to risk your lives there," Heaven Venerable Badao replied.

"That’s true. Many Mahayana cultivators have come to the auction this time, but only Taoist Friend Ye, Taoist Friend Shen, and Fairy Chu are capable of entering the Heaven Venerable Tombs to search for treasures," Chen Yin commented at the end with a look of admiration.

Heaven Venerable Badao nodded and said no more.

He typically couldn’t be bothered to deal with ordinary Mahayana cultivators. If it weren’t for Chu Buyu’s invitation to the gathering, he wouldn’t be engaging with Chen Yin, Wang Tianyang, and the others so much.

The insight and strength of ordinary Mahayana cultivators were far too different from that of a Heaven Venerable; they belonged to different circles.

"Fairy Chu, Taoist Friend Shen has slain the True Spirit Li Soil Turtle. As an artifact refiner, you should be able to craft a defensive Xuantian Treasure, right?" Xu Yihong asked, full of curiosity.

The set of top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures and Eighth Rank Puppet Beasts on offer at the auction were all crafted by Chu Buyu’s hand, which was no secret.

"I should be able to. The Xuantian Treasure my husband uses was crafted by me," Chu Buyu replied with confidence.

Through this auction, she planned to spread the word about her artifact refining skills.

A trace of surprise appeared in Heaven Venerable Badao’s eyes as he asked, "Madam Chu can craft Xuantian Treasures? Is the success rate high?"

"It’s decent! If Taoist Friend Ye comes across the core materials for crafting Xuantian Treasures, he could ask for my help, and the same goes for other friends," Chu Buyu said with a light smile, her words brimming with confidence.

Heaven Venerable Badao nodded and remarked, "Good. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely ask for Fairy Chu’s help."

"If Fairy Chu can cultivate her Spirit Domain to great achievement, the Qianling Sect will have two Heaven Venerables," Wang Tianyang said, his face full of envy.

"Cultivating the Spirit Domain is very difficult; even with the help of miracle elixirs, it’s not guaranteed to reach great achievement," Chu Buyu said modestly.

"It may be hard for others to cultivate their Spirit Domain to great achievement, but I believe it’s not a problem for Fairy Chu," Chen Yin said, offering compliments.

The other Mahayana cultivators also spoke up, all with lavish praise.

Chu Buyu smiled lightly and nodded, "Then I will accept the auspicious words of the fellow Taoist Friends."

"Eh, Taoist Friend Shen has finished alchemy," Wang Tianyang uttered in surprise.

All the cultivators noticed that the power of thunder and lightning and the green lotus shadows had disappeared, indicating the end of Shen Long’s elixir refining process.

Heaven Venerable Badao’s face showed joy; he had been residing in Qianling Marketplace for a while, just waiting for Shen Long to complete the refining of the Qiankun Transforming Thunder Pill.

Soon after, Shen Long emerged from a small courtyard with a cheerful expression on his face.

"Taoist Friend Ye, this is the elixir you requested," Shen Long said as he raised his right hand, sending a green porcelain vial soaring towards Heaven Venerable Badao.

Heaven Venerable Badao caught the green porcelain vial, removed the stopper, scanned it with his divine sense, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen. I have other urgent matters, so I won’t stay any longer. Farewell," Heaven Venerable Badao stated, then stood up to take his leave.

"Qingshan, escort Taoist Friend Ye for me."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Qingshan complied and set off to carry out the command.

Chen Yin, Wang Tianyang, and others were full of envy; with Shen Long’s current status, they couldn’t ask him to help with alchemy anymore. They would be doing well to get Su Changfeng’s assistance.

"Taoist Friend Wang, Taoist Friend Ni, are you not going to attend the auction?"

Shen Long asked.

"My clan members are at the auction. I just don’t know if they will be able to exchange for anything good."

Wang Tianyang said with a smile.

Complete sets of Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, Eighth Rank Puppet Beasts, Eighth Rank Secret Talismans are all for bartering; Qianling Sect is not short of Top Grade Spirit Stones, they trade with several tenthousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Water of Heaven and Earth, rare Refining Materials, several tenthousand-year-old Spirit Woods, etc.

"That will depend on what you bring out. If there are truly good items, we could exchange directly with us."

Chu Buyu spoke with a light, effortless smile.

After some casual conversation, Lin Qingshan returned and said to Shen Long: "Master, Fairy Snow Fu has come to visit, saying she has a very important matter to discuss with you."

"Taoist Friend Shen, we will take our leave first."

Wang Tianyang and the others tactfully took their leave.

"Please invite her in."

Shen Long ordered.

Lin Qingshan acknowledged and then left to carry out the order. Not long after, he returned with a voluptuous young lady in a white dress.

"Younger sister pays respects to Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu."

The girl in the white dress courteously bowed and spoke.

"Madam Liu, no need for such formality, please take a seat."

Shen Long invited Fairy Snow Fu to sit down.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I have obtained a piece of rare material that even the demon fire of an Eighth Rank Spiritual Beast can’t affect."

Fairy Snow Fu took out an exquisitely made white jade box and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the lid of the box, and a stream of incredibly cold air surged out, quickly covering the nearby ground with ice.

With a glance, Shen Long saw a watermelon-sized white crystal stone inside the box. The white crystal emitted an astonishing chill, and a large amount of white frost appeared in the void.

Chu Buyu picked up the white crystal and carefully examined it, asking, "Madam Liu, what would you like to exchange for?"

"How about the Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain and the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit?"

Fairy Snow Fu said, full of anticipation.

As a Loose Cultivator at the early stage of Mahayana, even mastering a fraction of the Spirit Domain could significantly improve her strength.

"Madam Liu, could you tell me where you obtained this item?"

Chu Buyu asked politely.

"The Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven! To be precise, this item is from the relics of a Mahayana Cultivator. However, there was no mention of the origin of this crystal stone."

Fairy Snow Fu explained.

"No problem, we can exchange that for you. In the future, if you come across such materials again, please consider Qianling Sect first. We will make sure it’s worth your while."

Chu Buyu’s tone was warm.

"Of course."

Fairy Snow Fu readily agreed, feeling as though she had made a huge profit.

After some more small talk, Chu Buyu took out a green jade slip and a Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit and handed them to Fairy Snow Fu, who then took her leave.

"Snow Soul Immortal Crystal! This is a material for refining defensive Immortal Artifacts."

Chu Buyu said, her face beaming with joy.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Once the auction ends, we should also set off."

Six hours later, the auction came to an end. Qianling Sect managed to collect many materials, including a Nine Orifices Tao Fruit. Su Changfeng could use it to refine the Nine Orifices Daofruit Pill and comprehend the Spirit Domain.

Early the next day, Lin Qingshan announced to the public that Shen Long and Chu Buyu were going into closed-door cultivation. In reality, they had left Qianling Marketplace, and even Lin Qingshan didn’t know their whereabouts.

The other Mahayana Cultivators didn’t think much of it and continued to stay in Qianling Marketplace, exchanging resources or discussing the Dao with other Mahayana Cultivators.
