Chapter 1243: 1247 News

"Even after consuming the Enlightenment Fruit, one cannot cultivate to Great Perfection?"

Ye Yan was somewhat surprised.

"Any external object is merely an auxiliary, not a decisive factor."

Li Yuxia explained.

"Actually, you don’t need to be overly concerned about Law Cultivation. A Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivating the Law to Great Perfection and attempting to break through to Daluo Golden Immortal will face stronger Heavenly Tribulations and naturally become stronger. There’s no need to be too fixated on this. The lifespan of a Taiyi Golden Immortal is only fifty million years, focus more on cultivation!"

Li Yushan suggested.

Shen Long nodded and asked, "Taoist Friend Li, I heard that your Li Family is quite close with the Tianbao Immortal Alliance. Do you know what treasures will be available in this auction?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yang, Ye Yan, and others all looked towards Li Yushan.

Besides networking with Li Yushan, they also wished to know what treasures would be available at the auction.

"Apart from the Seven Stars Dispersing Thunder Talisman, there’s also the Xuanqing Yuan Apricot Fruit and Enlightenment Fruit Core, oh, and a drop of Divine Beast Essence Blood."

Li Yushan answered truthfully.

"Divine Beast Essence Blood? What kind of Divine Beast?"

Wu Yang pursued further.

"Really? Even Divine Beast Essence Blood is up for auction?"

Heaven Venerable Zilian was full of astonishment.

"A Nine-Flame Tiger from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Phase! Its Essence Blood is suitable for refining Third Rank Immortal Pills, and for Body Cultivators, it’s a rare Body Tempering Elixir. Of course, it won’t be settled with Immortal Yuan Stones, it’s a barter, consigned by a fellow Taoist."

Li Yushan stated.

"Can a Taiyi Golden Immortal slay a Divine Beast? Probably only the Supreme can manage that!"

Wu Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"I don’t know about that; that’s what Taoist Friend Jin from the Tianbao Immortal Alliance told me. As for the origin of the Essence Blood, he didn’t share it with me. The consignor might not have slain the Divine Beast; perhaps it was obtained during a treasure hunt to exchange for resources they needed."

Li Yushan speculated.

"Tsk tsk, a Nine-Flame Tiger cultivating to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Phase has quite a potential, what a pity."

Shen Long remarked in a regretful tone.

"Indeed! Those who can cultivate into Divine Beasts are mostly Daluo Golden Immortals. By the way, Taoist Friend Li, doesn’t your family have a Divine Beast? Haven’t you raised another one?"

Wu Yang was filled with curiosity.

"It’s very difficult. As is known, Spiritual Beasts and Insects and Birds with a bloodline purity reaching nine and a cultivation level above Mahayana are True Spirits, while those reaching ten are Divine Beasts. From nine to ten is only a step away, but only a very few Spiritual Beasts, Birds, and Insects can cross that step."

Li Yushan’s expression was solemn.

After chatting for over an hour, Wu Yang proposed a resource exchange, which none of the cultivators opposed. Li Yushan was the first to present his items for exchange.

Li Yushan showcased a lot of valuable items like Seventh Grade Dao Pills, Superior Immortal Artifacts, Third Rank Immortal Puppets, Third Rank Immortal Talismans, million-year-old Immortal Elixirs, rare Immortal Fruits, and so on.

"Exchanging for hidden Third Rank Immortal Materials, or materials of the same value."

Li Yushan stated.

"Hidden Third Rank Immortal Materials?"

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

In theory, given the Li family’s formidable strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for Li Yushan to collect such materials. The fact that he’s offering so many good things for hidden Third Rank Immortal Materials indicates he needs a significant amount.

There’s only one possibility: Li Yushan possesses a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact of an auxiliary nature, absorbing hidden materials to enhance its power.

Shen Long traded million-year-old Immortal Woods and Bamboo for two defensive Third Rank Immortal Talismans and a jug of Seven Stars Brew.

The Seven Stars Brew is a Third Rank Immortal Wine, temporarily enhancing one’s physical resistance to Thunder Methods. Naturally, its effect doesn’t compare to that of the Seven Stars Dispersing Thunder Talisman.

If Chu Buyu were to break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, he wouldn’t be able to use a Superior Immortal Artifact or a Third Rank Immortal Formation; his Immortal Yuan Power couldn’t sustain it, but consuming a Third Rank Immortal Wine and using a Third Rank Immortal Talisman would be feasible.

The cultivators continued to bring out items for exchange. Apart from Li Yushan and Li Yuxia, the other Taiyi Golden Immortals focused on resources for longevity and weakening the power of Thunder Methods, rather than those to assist Taiyi Golden Immortals in comprehending the Laws.

Treasures that could aid Taiyi Golden Immortals in understanding the Laws are at least Top Grade Immortal Artifacts, which are extremely rare; only individual Taiyi Golden Immortals possess them and are unwilling to exchange them.

Shen Long didn’t bring out the Xuanqing Yuan Apricot Fruit; even Li Yushan and Li Yuxia hadn’t brought it out, so he had even less reason to do so.

After half an hour, Shen Long stood up and took out over ten types of Immortal Woods and Bamboos, all over a million years old.

"Priority is to exchange for Third Rank Immortal Materials like the Myriad Manifestations Divine Crystal and Myriad Weight Stone, or million-year-old Heavenly Soul Jade Lotus."

Shen Long announced.

Several Taiyi Golden Immortals presented their items for Shen Long’s inspection, communicating through sound transmission.

The Immortal Woods and Bamboos he offered mostly got exchanged, and he acquired quite a few weighty Third Rank Immortal Materials.

Another half-hour passed, concluding the exchange, and after a brief chat, Shen Long, Wu Yang, and others gradually left.

As Shen Long and Heaven Venerable Zilian stepped out of Qinglong Garden, Shen Ying approached Shen Long quickly.

"Master, Taoist Friend Xu wishes to discuss something with you."

Shen Ying said.

This was arranged by Shen Long, mainly to have Shen Ying meet Heaven Venerable Zilian, aiding in identification.

Shen Long nodded and left with Shen Ying swiftly.

Heaven Venerable Zilian, Wu Yang, and the others didn’t think much of it and returned to their quarters, where Shen Long took out a Hundred Knowledges Token, handing it to Shen Ying, instructing, "In the marketplace, there’s a branch of the Hundred Knowledges Pavilion. Alter your appearance and purchase information about Heaven Venerable Zilian and Ye Weiwei from the Hundred Knowledges Pavilion."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Ying agreed without hesitation.

"There’s no rush for this; you can attend to it in a few days."

Shen Long advised.

Shen Ying agreed and withdrew.

Shen Long entered a practice room, stepping into the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, and appeared in front of a massive golden vine, from which five round beads were hanging.

He took out five Myriad Manifestations Divine Crystals, each the size of an egg, and connected them with the five round beads.

The beads immediately radiated Spiritual Light, enveloping the Myriad Manifestations Divine Crystals.

After a while, the light dispersed, and he could clearly see a small crack on the surface of the five round beads, indicating the Hongmeng Immortal Artifact was close to forming.

He still had quite a few Myriad Manifestations Divine Crystals, but as Hongmeng Immortal Materials absorbed rare materials, they needed time to digest; it’s not like Hongmeng Immortal Materials could instantly devour large quantities of rare materials.

"Looks like the Hongmeng Immortal Artifact is about to take shape, at least a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact!"

Shen Long mused to himself, his face full of joy.

A cluster of azure light appeared in the void nearby, and Shen Lin emerged.

"Oh, the surface of the Hongmeng Immortal Material has cracks; it’s almost formed."

Shen Lin was filled with delight.

Shen Long took out a golden Storage Bracelet, handing it to Shen Lin, instructing, "Feed these materials to the Hongmeng Immortal Material, I will continue to collect such materials."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Lin agreed readily.

With a thought, Shen Long appeared in Qianyang Hall.

He entered an alchemy room, sitting cross-legged on a red cushion, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long opened his eyes, summoned the Qianyang Cauldron, and began alchemy.

He intended to refine the Heavenly Soul Jade Lotus Pill to aid him in cultivating the nineteenth layer of the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method.
