Chapter 1054: 963 Tianyue Marketplace (Gone today)

"Fairy Ye, why must Spirit Birds and Spirit Beasts be cultivated into True Spirits? When they ascend to the True Immortal Realm, can’t they withstand a blow from a Low Grade Immortal Artifact?"

Chu Buyu asked curiously.

"They can withstand it, but their Divine Skills are far inferior to those of True Spirits. Among Spirit Birds, Spirit Beasts, and Spirit Insects at the same level, the Divine Skills of True Spirits are far more powerful. If we categorize cultivators into three types: ordinary, elite, and prodigy, would you want to be an ordinary cultivator?"

Ye Qingyu said.

"Of course not, at the very least I’d want to be elite. Ordinary cultivators are too weak."

Chu Buyu said.

Ye Qingyu nodded and said, "Right! Ordinary cultivators are too weak. True Spirits are equivalent to elites, while Divine Beasts are the prodigies. Who wouldn’t want their own Spirit Beasts to be more powerful!"

"Fairy Ye, are Divine Beasts Golden Immortals?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

It was his first time hearing about Divine Beasts, and he didn’t know much about them.

"One step beyond True Spirits is a Divine Beast, which at least possesses the Cultivation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage. Their Purity of Bloodline reaches ten, able to withstand a blow from a Top Grade Immortal Artifact. Whether in terms of Divine Skills or recovery abilities, they are more than ten times stronger than True Spirits. However, Divine Beasts are very rare. To my knowledge, in the Green Lotus Immortal Domain, there is only one Divine Beast, and that belongs to the Li Family Immortal Clan."

Towards the end of her statement, Ye Qingyu showed a face full of envy.

"Li Family Immortal Clan?"

Shen Long was slightly startled.

"Right, I forgot to ask you two, from which continent group did you ascend?"

Ye Qingyu inquired.

"Qingxuan Continent Groups."

Shen Long honestly replied.

"That makes sense, the ancestor of the Li Family came from Qingxuan Continent Groups. Among the Six Major Forces of Green Lotus Immortal Domain, only the Li Family has cultivated a Divine Beast that has killed a Daluo Golden Immortal. But that happened over twenty million years ago."

Ye Qingyu said.

"What? A Divine Beast killed a Daluo Golden Immortal? Fairy Ye, didn’t you say Divine Beasts were Taiyi Golden Immortals just moments ago?"

Chu Buyu exclaimed in surprise.

"I said at the very least. In fact, most Divine Beasts are Daluo Golden Immortals. It’s one in ten-thousand for a Spirit Bird, Spirit Beast, or Spirit Insect of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage to become a Divine Beast. To give an example using True Spirits, an Eighth Rank Spiritual Beast, Bird, or Insect with a Purity of Bloodline of nine is a True Spirit. But many of these beings only have a chance to become True Spirits upon reaching the True Immortal Realm, and a few have to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Phase to become True Spirits."

Ye Qingyu slowly explained.

"Can Spirit Birds, Spirit Beasts, and Spirit Insects of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage cultivate into True Spirits as well?"

Shen Long inquired with curiosity.

"In theory, yes. However, if they haven’t become True Spirits by the Golden Immortal Phase, they are not considered worthy of further cultivation. Of course, this is relative to the Great Immortal Domain. In some smaller Immortal Domains, cultivating a Golden Immortal Stage True Spirit would enable it to dominate, since the highest Cultivation among the cultivators in small Immortal Domains is just Golden Immortal."

Ye Qingyu explained.

"Green Lotus Immortal Domain is a Great Immortal Domain, so there should be True Spirits for sale, right?"

Shen Long continued to ask.

Ye Qingyu nodded and said, "Of course, over a hundred thousand years ago, Heavenly Beast Mountain organized a large auction where they auctioned five True Spirits at the True Immortal Realm. Heavenly Beast Mountain is one of the Six Major Forces of Green Lotus Immortal Domain, generally stronger than the Li Family, famous throughout the Green Lotus Immortal Domain for Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming. Only Heavenly Beast Mountain’s large auctions would offer True Spirits for sale, other forces of Green Lotus Immortal Domain rarely auction off True Spirits."

"It seems that True Spirits are still quite precious in the Immortal Realm. I thought True Spirits were more common!"

Shen Long remarked with emotion.

"Speaking of rarity, it is rare indeed. Even our Tianyue Sect has not cultivated many True Spirits, true immortals. Saying it’s not precious would only be relative to the entire Immortal Realm; True Spirits are not considered rare in the Immortal Realm, it’s Divine Beasts that are scarce. Some Great Immortal Domains do not even have the power to cultivate a single Divine Beast."

Ye Qingyu spoke, seemingly recalling something, she asked: "Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, do you two hail from a family clan?"

"That’s not the case. We are from an immortal cultivation sect. Is there any issue with that?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"No issues. It’s just that I was reminded of something. If you manage to get your hands on the Nine Dragons Dao Pill and take it during intercourse, your offspring will have much better innate qualities," said Ye Qingyu.

"True immortals can have offspring too?"

Chu Buyu asked excitedly.

Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to bear offspring.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu have been Daoist companions in the Void Refinement phase for more than a hundred thousand years and honestly, they’ve long wished for a child. However, their high level of cultivation meant the probability of having one was quite low.

According to the records collected by the Lin Family, there are Immortal Pills and Elixirs in the Immortal Realm that can increase the chances of bearing offspring.

Ye Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "Not just true immortals, even Daluo Golden Immortals can have offspring, given they obtain the corresponding Immortal Pills, Elixirs, and Fruits. In the Immortal Realm, even bringing the dead back to life is not an issue, so what is conceiving offspring by comparison?"

Along the way, they also encountered many True Immortal Cultivators, some of whom recognized Ye Qingyu and greeted her, while most True Immortals did not know her and hurried past.

Two days later, the speed of the Green Phoenix slowed down.

In front of them lay an island of vast area. Shen Long and Chu Buyu had visited over a hundred different worlds and seen many islands, but it was their first time seeing such a large one, large enough to be considered a continent.

The island stretched hundreds of thousands of miles east to west and more than fifty thousand miles north to south. One could see a golden stele towering a thousand feet high, with the characters "Tianyue Marketplace" inscribed in gleaming gold, exuding flashes of brilliance—that stele was unmistakably a Xuantian Treasure.

On their way here, Ye Qingyu had introduced to them that some poorer Loose Immortals mainly wield Xuantian Treasures to combat their enemies, while better off Loose Immortals might possess one or two Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

In the great marketplace of the Glazed Sea Domain, you could purchase Xuantian Treasures with Top Grade Spirit Stones. To buy Immortal Artifacts, one needed Immortal Yuan Stones.

The entire island was dotted with numerous buildings and Cultivators. Most of the Cultivators were from the Human Clan, but one could also spot the figures of Heterodox Cultivators.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, we’ve arrived at the Tianyue Marketplace. Please feel free to do as you wish. I’ll notify my clan members. You can just go straight there. Take this Voice Transmission Jade Talisman, show it to my clansmen when you get there, and they will arrange jobs for you," said Ye Qingyu as she took out a jade talisman that flickered with blue light and handed it to Shen Long.

"Thank you so much, Fairy Ye," Shen Long thanked her, accepting the jade talisman.

They landed on the ground, and Ye Qingyu retracted the Green Phoenix into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, striding towards a street.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu began to stroll around, filled with curiosity about everything as it was their first time in the Immortal Realm.

Some shops displayed Low Grade Immortal Artifacts on their shelves, and most of the pedestrians on the street were True Immortals, with quite a few Golden Immortals visible as well.

In the marketplace, Shen Long and Chu Buyu, being only at the early stage of True Immortals, indeed did not attract much attention.

They now needed to rapidly learn about immortal cultivation knowledge, especially information about local products, to facilitate their trading of materials collected from The Lower Realm into Immortal Yuan Stones to purchase resources.

Half an hour later, they stood in front of a nine-story tall Green Pavilion, with a signboard bearing the words "Hengjin Pavilion."

They had inquired with Fairy Ye; this was a bookstore specializing in selling classics, including Cultivation Techniques.
