Chapter 622: 531 Reaping the Rewards (Seeking Monthly Pass)_1

Apart from that, some Soul Transformation Cultivators from lesser powers also joined the bidding; their disciples and relatives were Nascent Soul Cultivators.

All ten Seven-Treasure Glaze Pills were sold at high prices, the lowest transaction price being three and a half million, and the highest reaching five million, which also showed the considerable wealth of high-level cultivators in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

After selling the ten Seven-Treasure Glaze Pills, Wu Bei brought out ten exquisitely crafted green jade boxes and said, "Ten Yang Enhancement Fruits, each capable of extending one’s lifespan by five hundred years, will be auctioned separately. The starting bid is one million, with each increase no less than two hundred thousand."

"One million!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million four hundred thousand!"

······

Wu Bei successively took out various goods for auction—elixirs, spirit fruits, spiritual medicines, Artifact Refining materials, talismans, and so on, all fetching high prices.

Shen Long remained silent, as he had no need for these things.

After a fifth-order talisman was sold, eight burly men carried a large golden cage up to the golden stage. The cage contained a massive Red Giant Lion.

The Red Giant Lion had a pair of large red fleshy wings and looked somewhat listless, with a sparkling silver talisman affixed to its body.

"A late fourth-order Azure-Winged Flame Lion, with a Purity of Bloodline reaching four, only one step away from gaining the ability to speak the human language. This beast is proficient in divine skills of the wind and fire attributes. The starting bid is four million Spirit Stones, with each increase no less than three hundred thousand," Wu Bei declared loudly.

"Fourth-order with a Purity of Bloodline as high as four, that’s quite impressive," Shen Long commented to himself, without making a bid.

He, of course, had no interest in the beast, but there were many Soul Transformation Cultivators—particularly those from small sects and families—who saw the value in acquiring this beast to guard their homes and sects.

After fierce bidding, the beast was sold at the steep price of nine million Spirit Stones.

A tall man in a green robe approached the golden stage to communicate with Wu Bei through voice transmission.

"This fellow daoist doesn’t have enough Spirit Stones and plans to auction some items. We will help verify the items to ensure that no one here is deceived," Wu Bei announced.

"As expected of the Great Commerce Alliance," Shen Long silently praised in his heart.

The man in the green robe took out over a dozen items, and among them, a green gourd caught Shen Long’s eye.

"Essence Blood of a mid-stage fifth-order Green Thunder Ape, a beast that possesses the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline. The Essence Blood can be used to cultivate Spirit Monkeys and enhance the purity of their bloodline," the man in the green robe introduced as he pulled out the gourd stopper.

Wu Bei produced a golden mirror that shimmered with light. Infusing it with mana, the Golden Mirrors released a beam of golden light that enveloped the green gourd.

From the Golden Mirrors came a piercing beast roar, and one could clearly see the image of a Mountain Giant Ape on its surface.

"Indeed, this vial of Essence Blood does contain the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline, and it is indeed from a fifth-order Demon Ape," Wu Bei confirmed after checking all the items brought by the man in the green robe one by one and assuring there were no issues, he stepped aside.

The man in the green robe started auctioning off the items he had brought. Shen Long used a vial of Snow Ganoderma Pills to obtain the Essence Blood of the Green Thunder Ape. In terms of value, a vial of Snow Ganoderma Pills was worth more than the Essence Blood of a fifth-order Green Thunder Ape, but to Shen Long, the Essence Blood was more precious.

Having paid the Spirit Stones, the man in the green robe collected the Azure-Winged Flame Lion.

Wu Bei took out an exquisitely crafted green jade box, opened it and revealed a green spherical pearl within.

"A fifth-order Absorbing Thunder Pearl. I am willing to exchange it for an Enlightening Fruit of equivalent value, or other items of equal value," Wu Bei declared.

"What! A fifth-order Absorbing Thunder Pearl!" there was a stir among the Soul Transformation Cultivators in attendance. This item, once refined into a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, could counter Thunder Methods.

Over a hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators flew up to the golden stage, communicating with Wu Bei through voice transmission, and presented their items for his inspection.

Seeing the intense competition, Shen Long did not approach the stage, knowing that obtaining the Absorbing Thunder Pearl would be more of a curse than a blessing in such a fierce bidding war.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wu Bei handed the Absorbing Thunder Pearl to a buxom girl in a golden dress. Her attire bore the emblem of swords and sabers, the symbol of the Divine Weapon Sect.

As one of the ten great powers of the Human Clan on the Green Lotus Continent, the Divine Weapon Sect established the Divine Weapon marketplace, and naturally, no one would dare to trouble their disciples.

After the Absorbing Thunder Pearl was traded, Wu Bei took out ten green porcelain bottles and said, "Ten bottles of Blood Dragon Pills, which can strengthen one’s vitality and fortify the physical body. All are high-grade elixirs, with a starting bid of five million Spirit Stones and each increase must be no less than three hundred thousand."

"Five million!"

"Five million three hundred thousand!"

"Five million six hundred thousand!"

...

The competition was fierce. Shen Long also participated in the bidding. He mainly focused on refining elixirs commonly used by Soul Transformation Cultivators and had not yet had the chance to refine body-forging Fifth-Order Elixirs.

He spent eleven million and twenty thousand Spirit Stones to purchase a bottle of Blood Dragon Pills.

"We have prepared ten items as the finale auction pieces, the first being ten Zilang Pills of Golden Ginseng. All are top-grade elixirs with outstanding healing effects, to be exchanged for materials of equivalent value, with alchemy materials given priority."

Wu Bei said out loud, taking out ten exquisitely crafted green jade boxes.

Top-grade elixirs are sold by the bottle, while the finest elixirs are sold by the pill, which reflects the preciousness of the finest elixirs.

Hundreds of Soul Transformation Cultivators flew to the golden platform to communicate with Wu Bei through Divine Sense, presenting items for his inspection.

"The allure of fine elixirs really is different. If I could refine fine elixirs, exchanging resources would be much more convenient,"

thought Shen Long to himself.

In total, over a thousand Soul Transformation Cultivators communicated with Wu Bei through Divine Sense, all hoping to exchange for a Zilang Pill of Golden Ginseng. It might save their lives at a critical moment.

After exchanging the ten Zilang Pills of Golden Ginseng, Wu Bei took out two green porcelain bottles and said, "Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pills, two bottles. They have quite good effects on healing Divine Soul injuries, all are top-grade elixirs. To exchange, a Fifth-Order Flood Dragon’s Demon Core will suffice, provided the Purity of Bloodline is no less than five. Materials of equivalent value are also acceptable."

Hundreds of Soul Transformation Cultivators approached the golden platform to converse with Wu Bei through Divine Sense, all wanting to acquire a bottle of Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pill, as injuries to the Divine Soul have too great an impact.

Shen Long did not go up to the platform; the Qianling Sect had similar elixirs, although they required a substantial amount of Kind Attribute to exchange.

Wu Bei took out a golden jade bottle that was glinting with light and said, "A bunch of Fifth-Order Spirit Flame, in exchange for fine elixirs that can heal Divine Soul injuries."

"Taoist Friend Wu, will other items not suffice?"

asked a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

"No, these are the owner’s requirements; I can’t do anything about it,"

Wu Bei explained.

"I’ll gladly accept this bunch of Fifth-Order Spirit Flame."

A sweet female voice rang out.

No sooner had her voice faded than a beautiful young girl wearing a pale green dress flew up to the golden platform. Judging by her aura, she had the cultivation of the late stage of Soul Transformation.

"It’s Fairy Qingzhi. She’s the disciple of the Deputy Master of the Shennong Pavilion, and she is adept in the art of alchemy."

Someone recognized the girl in the pale green dress.

Fairy Qingzhi took out a green jade box and handed it to Wu Bei.

Wu Bei opened the box, took a brief glance, nodded, and passed the golden porcelain bottle to Fairy Qingzhi.

Next, Wu Bei took out five palm-sized lotuses shimmering with various colors. On closer inspection, the petals glinted with ongoing Spiritual Light, signaling that they were Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.

"High-grade Tribulation-Substituting Treasures, Five-Leaf Jade Lotus, can be used to substitute for tribulations five times, to be exchanged for rare artifact-refining materials."

Wu Bei announced.

Ordinarily, once a Cultivator has used a tribulation-substituting treasure, it can’t be used again. A different tribulation-substituting treasure is needed, which then has to be nurtured for several hundred years before it can be used.

However, high-grade tribulation-substituting treasures are different; they can be used multiple times and require a relatively shorter nurturing period. For these reasons, they are highly sought after by Cultivators.

Over a hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators approached the golden platform to communicate with Wu Bei through Divine Sense, including Shen Long.

He passed a green Storage Bracelet to Wu Bei, transmitting through Divine Sense, "I’d like to exchange Profound Yin Crystal for a Five-Leaf Jade Lotus."

After a quick sweep with his Divine Sense, Wu Bei nodded and handed one Five-Leaf Jade Lotus to Shen Long.

Shen Long returned to his seat, keenly aware of many ill-intentioned gazes directed at him, but his expression remained unchanged.

After exchanging five pieces of Five-Leaf Jade Lotus, Wu Bei took out a glittering golden Jade Pendant and said, "A piece of Soul Nurturing Jade. Wearing it can gradually enhance the power of the Divine Soul. To exchange, Five-Colored Divine Clay or rare artifact-refining materials will do."

"Five-Colored Divine Clay!"

Shen Long had heard of this material. It was said to be the excrement of a Fifth-Order Five-Colored Worm, a core component for crafting high-grade Puppet Beasts capable of weakening the force of most attacks.

He had no interest in the Soul Nurturing Jade, but other Soul Transformation Cultivators were very interested, with a large number of them communicating with Wu Bei through Divine Sense.
