Chapter 1062: 971 Peony Fairy (Gone today)

"Taiyi Tungsten Crystal? When did I mention that? What’s its use?"

The young man in the blue shirt asked curiously.

"Taiyi Tungsten Crystal is a second grade Immortal Material, commonly used to refine middle grade Immortal Artifacts like the Flying Needle. Tell you what! Five hundred Immortal Yuan Stones, that’s not a low price."

Ye Yunqing said with a smile.

"Six hundred. Second grade Immortal Materials are not that cheap, especially those used for refining Flying Needle-type Immortal Artifacts."

The young man in the blue shirt bargained.

"Taoist Friend Wang, this piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal is a bit small, five hundred and fifty Immortal Yuan Stones."

Ye Yunqing replied.

"Six hundred and seventy, can’t go any lower."

The young man in the blue shirt said.

Ye Yunqing hesitated for a moment, examined the black crystal stone carefully, confirmed it was Taiyi Tungsten Crystal, then relaxed and nodded: "Deal."

He paid the young man in the blue shirt six hundred and seventy Immortal Yuan Stones and said enthusiastically, "Taoist Friend Wang, there are many good items in the upcoming auction, you should prepare more Immortal Yuan Stones."

"I can’t compete with those wealthy cultivators, I have other matters to attend to, farewell."

The young man in the blue shirt stood up and left.

"Taoist Friend Wang, please consider Golden Moon Pavilion first if you come across any valuable items in the future."

Ye Yunqing said warmly as he personally saw the young man in the blue shirt out.

Only after the young man in the blue shirt had walked a good distance did Ye Yunqing return to the seventh floor.

He took out a small mirror that shimmered with a green glow, injected a spell into it, and casually released a soundproof barrier around himself.

Before long, a green light shone from the mirror, revealing the face of Ye Qingli.

"Uncle Qingli, I have good news; I’ve acquired a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal!"

Ye Yunqing said excitedly.

Since he was in charge of acquiring materials, he had only collected some ordinary Immortal Materials, and this piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal was the only second grade Immortal Material he had gathered so far.

"What? Taiyi Tungsten Crystal? Are you sure you saw it right?"

Ye Qingli asked skeptically.

"No, I’ve observed it carefully and it’s identical to the descriptions in the ancient texts. They wouldn’t bother to play such a boring trick, sending someone to sell a fake Taiyi Tungsten Crystal to me; worst case, I just fill the gap with Immortal Yuan Stones."

Ye Yunqing said nonchalantly.

"Well, let’s go check it out! If there’s no problem with the Taiyi Tungsten Crystal, then we’ll report it up the chain; that would be a merit. If there’s any issue, we won’t report it at all."

Ye Qingli said.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Qingli."

Ye Yunqing agreed and ended the communication.

In less than half an hour, Ye Qingli arrived. He carefully examined the black crystal, nodded, and said: "Indeed, it’s Taiyi Tungsten Crystal! Don’t report it just yet; wait until the auction is about to commence."

"Why is that?"

Ye Yunqing asked in confusion.

"If you report it now, I reckon it won’t be long before True Immortal Cultivators start bringing you ordinary materials for identification."

Ye Qingli said meaningfully.

"I understand, I’ll follow Uncle Qingli’s advice."

Ye Yunqing agreed.

"I’ve told you before, you must be patient in your dealings. Now that you’ve got a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal, keep up the good work. I hope you can gather more second grade Immortal Materials before the auction begins."

Ye Qingli encouraged him and left the place.

······

Half a year went by, at Qingpeng Pavilion.

The door to the Practice Room opened, and Shen Long came out with a smile on his face.

He had refined another batch of Jade Rhinoceros Pills, and judging by the time, the auction was about to start.

He was planning to sell a portion of Immortal Pills in exchange for Immortal Yuan Stones to bid for items.

He took out a small mirror that glowed with a red light, poured a spell into it, and soon a red light lit up the mirror, revealing Shen Lang’s face.

"How did it go? Did you sell the Taiyi Tungsten Crystal to Ye Yunqing?"

Shen Long asked.

"Sold them to him. As per your instruction, I’ve sold some First Rank Immortal Pills in batches. I currently have over three thousand Immortal Yuan Stones on hand. How should I deliver them to you?"

Shen Lang asked.

"Hand them to Chu Yun and have her pass them on to the mistress."

Shen Long instructed.

He could not frequently be in contact with Shen Lang, to avoid raising suspicion about their relationship among others.

"Alright, I understand."

Shen Lang agreed.

Shen Long put away the red mirror and pushed open the door, looking outside.

It had already become dark, but the marketplace was brightly lit, with few pedestrians in the residential areas.

He closed the door and after a while, he altered his appearance, opened the door again, and seeing that the street was empty, he walked out with peace of mind.

An hour later, Shen Long appeared in a vast Green Stone Plaza with many small stalls, the merchandise on them varied and colorful.

The auction was about to begin, and many True Immortals were coming to the Tianyue marketplace,

Some Immortals wanting to accumulate Immortal Yuan Stones would sell some materials they no longer needed. With a bit of luck, one might find treasures among them, though others would deceive with counterfeits. Whether one scores a bargain or gets tricked depends on one’s own skill.

Shen Long walked and observed, seeing many strange and rare items.

"A True Spirit Core from a True Spirit in the True Immortal Realm? Is that for real?"

"If you don’t recognize its value, it’s fine not to buy. Those who do can make the purchase."

"A True Spirit Core from a True Spirit in the True Immortal Realm? That’s indeed rare."

······

A dispute arose, reaching the ears of Shen Long.

"A True Spirit Core from a True Immortal Realm True Spirit?"

Shen Long felt intrigued and followed the source of the sound.

He arrived at a small stall where the owner was a tall and skinny man in a yellow shirt, displaying many First Grade Immortal Materials, with a green jade box amongst them that caught Shen Long’s attention.

Inside the jade box, there was a fist-sized golden Crystal Core, and next to it was a green wooden sign written with big characters — The True Spirit Core of a Golden Horned Shaking Mountain Rhinoceros from the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.

A fair-faced young man in a white shirt stood in front of the stall, exuding an aura of someone in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm.

"A Crystal Core from a True Spirit in the True Immortal phase? How much is it?"

Someone asked.

"Trading for a Dao Pill containing the Earth Law, or other items that can aid in comprehending the Laws, such as Immortal Wine, Immortal Talismans, Immortal Elixirs, and Immortal Fruits."

The man in the yellow shirt said in a deep voice.

"Are you joking? A True Spirit Core of a True Immortal Realm True Spirit is indeed rare, but a Dao Pill is even rarer. Who would trade a whole bottle of Dao Pills for it?"

"Exactly, I offer a thousand Immortal Yuan Stones for this True Spirit Core, how about that?"

"I’ll trade with a First Rank Immortal Wine that improves Immortal Yuan Power! How about it?"

······

Several True Immortal Cultivators spoke up, all wanting to obtain the True Spirit Core.

"Trade only, not for sale. If you don’t have what I’m asking for, there’s no room for negotiation."

The man in the yellow shirt said coldly.

"I’ll take that True Spirit Core."

A pleasant-sounding female voice emerged.

As soon as she finished speaking, a fragrant breeze swept by, and a slender figure in a red dress appeared near the stall.

The girl in the red dress exuded an imposing aura, possessing the cultivation of a True Immortal in the Late Stage, her long hair reaching her waist, and her waistband made of white jade. The patterns of peonies could be seen on her dress.

"It’s the Peony Fairy."

Someone recognized the identity of the girl in the red dress.

"The Peony Fairy!"

Shen Long narrowed his eyes.

He had heard about the Peony Fairy from Ye Qingli; she was a True Immortal whom the Tianyue Sect was focusing on cultivating, and she was also an alchemist, proficient in Alchemy Techniques.
