Chapter 1170: 1174 Lin Xiao (not available today)

The street was bustling with people, many of whom were heterodox cultivators who were friendly with the Human Clan.

Shen Peng and the other four dispersed; it was inefficient for only one person to do it, so the five of them contacted different Golden Immortal cultivators to inquire about the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada.

Shen Peng visited several large shops and purchased a batch of materials for artifact refining, talisman crafting, and array setting.

The ninth level of the Myriad Beasts Sect had a tenfold time acceleration, so there was no shortage of ordinary immortal medicine, fruit, or wood.

More than an hour later, Shen Peng appeared in a spacious Green Stone Plaza, where there were many small stalls, and quite a few Golden Immortal cultivators could be seen.

Shen Peng walked around, and suddenly quickened his pace, arriving at a stall. The seller was a plump woman in a golden dress, with mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivation.

Several items were displayed at the stall, but Shen Peng’s gaze fell on two golden jade boxes, each containing a Primordial Soul Flower over three million years old.

"How much for this Primordial Soul Flower?"

Shen Peng asked.

"Exchange for something of equal value, tribulation materials preferred."

The woman in the golden dress replied.

"I want both Primordial Soul Flowers."

Shen Peng said through a Sound Transmission, taking out a golden jade box and handing it to the woman in the golden dress.

The woman opened the box lid and saw a Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit inside.

"Just one? Primordial Soul Flowers are divine soul-type immortal medicine."

The woman in the golden dress haggled.

"I only have one; if not, then forget it."

Shen Peng said indifferently.

After a brief thought, the woman agreed to the exchange, as in her eyes, the Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit was more valuable.

With this Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit, her small tribulation would be easier.

Shen Peng put away the two Primordial Soul Flowers and continued browsing.

He circled the Green Stone Plaza but didn’t see anything of interest. He found a vacant spot and set up a small stall to sell second-tier immortal pills.

On the stall was a green wooden sign with a line written on it ---- exchange for Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada’s essence blood and True Spirit Core.

Several Golden Immortals inquired, wanting to exchange other items, but Shen Peng was not interested.

Half a day later, a rough male voice reached Shen Peng’s ears: "I only have essence blood, not the True Spirit Core. Can I exchange it for a bottle of Purple Soul-Nurturing Pills?"

Shen Peng looked up to see a tall man in a golden robe standing before him, exuding a menacing aura.

"Let me see the goods first."

Shen Peng said.

The man in the golden robe took out a palm-sized green gourd and handed it to Shen Peng.

Shen Peng removed the gourd stopper, and a blob of golden liquid flew out, forming a golden cicada.

The man in the golden robe pinched a spell, and the green gourd spewed out a green glow, enveloping the golden cicada, and retracted it back into the gourd.

"Purple Soul-Nurturing Pills can strengthen divine soul power. One bottle of essence blood is not enough. Do you have Primordial Soul Flowers or rare immortal fruits and elixirs?"

Shen Peng asked.

The man in the golden robe took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Shen Peng.

Shen Peng swept his Divine Sense over it and said, "At most five Purple Soul-Nurturing Pills."

"Deal!"

The man in the golden robe agreed without hesitation.

Shen Peng nodded and made the exchange with the man in the golden robe.

"I am Lin Xiao, how should I address you?"

The man in the golden robe asked politely.

"Shen Peng, if you have any news on Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada’s essence blood and True Spirit Core, feel free to contact me."

Shen Peng said.

"Sure, definitely."

Lin Xiao readily agreed and left after storing the elixirs.

As night fell, the marketplace was brightly lit.

Shen Peng took out a golden law disk, inserted a spell, and nodded.

He collected his items and left this place.

After a short while, Shen Peng appeared on a sparsely populated street and arrived at the entrance of a three-story Green Pavilion with a plaque that read "Golden Butterfly Pavilion" in large characters.

He sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and the door quickly opened, allowing Shen Chan to come out.

"Big brother, they haven’t returned yet. I’ve already informed them to make camp at the Golden Butterfly Pavilion."

Shen Chan said.

Shen Peng nodded and walked in with large strides.

······

In a sprawling manor, the plaque read "White Cloud Garden" in large characters, with two True Immortal cultivators standing guard at the entrance.

A tall and thin man in a green robe and a buxom woman in a purple dress sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"Hengshan Sect is led by Taoist Friend Li, and many Golden Immortal cultivators are coming to participate in this auction."

The man in the green robe said.

Yang Fenglin, Mid-Stage Golden Immortal.

The woman in the purple dress nodded, "Hopefully, we can use this auction to gather more information about the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion!"

Yang Yunyan, Golden Immortality Early Stage.

"Actually, most of the information on the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion has been gathered. I’m hoping to use this opportunity to collect some rare materials, like Superior Immortal Beans."

Yang Fenglin looked expectant.

"Superior Immortal Beans can be refined into Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage Bean Soldiers. Golden Immortal cultivators are unlikely to exchange them."

Yang Yunyan frowned and said.

"It depends on the circumstances of the owner. The Fishman Clan of the Northern Profound Sea Domain held a large auction, during which Immortal Lord Luohua exchanged Superior Immortal Beans for a middle grade Immortal Artifact that weakened the power of the Heavenly Tribulation."

At the end of his speech, Yang Fenglin was full of envy.

"Superior Immortal Beans are difficult to cultivate, and Immortal Lord Luohua actually exchanged them for a tribulation-substituting treasure; truly a waste!"

Yang Yunyan said, frowning.

"Immortal Lord Luohua ascended to the Golden Immortal stage at least five million years ago, and is not far from his sixth small tribulation. Without a suitable tribulation-substituting treasure, he would undoubtedly perish. It is said he obtained a Superior Immortal Bean in the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion."

Yang Fenglin explained.

"That’s just hearsay, difficult to verify. Hopefully, we can also gather a Superior Immortal Bean."

Yang Yunyan looked expectant.

······

In no time, a month had passed at the Golden Butterfly Pavilion.

Shen Peng sat at the main seat, while Shen Lin and Shen Mei sat in chairs, discussing something.

During this month, they worked separately, attending underground auctions and gatherings with Golden Immortal cultivators, or setting up stalls, gathering a lot of resources, including as many as four Primordial Soul Flowers over three million years old.

The only shortcoming was that they had only a single bottle of Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada’s essence blood.

"We did well to collect so many things; tomorrow, let’s go to the auction. Hopefully, we can successfully bid on something."

Shen Peng said solemnly.

Before you know it, a day had passed; early the next morning, as dawn broke.

A Treasure Pagoda with white light continuously flowing around it bore a plaque with "White Cloud Tower" written in three large gold characters, and a large number of immortals were queuing to enter the White Cloud Tower.

Shen Peng, Shen Mei, and Shen Lin were in line, while Shen Chan and Shen Pixiu were outside to cover them.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the White Cloud Tower entrance, paid the guards three hundred Immortal Yuan Stones, and the guards gave them a golden square token with the words "One Hundred and Five" written in large characters on the front.

They strode into the White Cloud Tower, greeted by a spacious and bright hall, with a hundred-zhang large gold stone platform in the center, surrounded by a large number of True Immortal cultivators.

A young and beautiful maid in a green dress quickly approached Shen Peng, bowing in respect.

Shen Peng took out the square token, and the green-dressed maid led the way.

Before long, they appeared at the entrance of a private room on the third floor, with "One Hundred and Five" written in large characters on the door.

"Alright, you can leave now."

Shen Peng waved his hand to dismiss the maid.

The three of them entered the private room, and the door closed behind them.

They sat in the chairs, their eyes fixed on a golden mirror on the wall, which reflected the situation in the hall.
