Chapter 819: 728 News and Exchange

The uses of the Remnants of True Spirits are manifold; their corpses can be used in Artifact Refining to create Xuantian Treasures.

"False news, it’s just the corpse of an Eighth Rank Jiuxia Python. This beast possesses the bloodline of the True Spirit Rainbow Devouring Python, and, as the message circulated, it turned into Remnants of True Spirits. If it were truly Remnants of True Spirits, even Mahayana Cultivators would be tempted,"

Jiang Zilei said.

"Yes! I heard that your Ghost Tribe created the Heavenly Ghost Blade from the bones of the True Spirit Nine Infants,"

Jiang Zishan asked curiously.

The Heavenly Ghost Blade is a Xuantian Treasure and also the treasure that guards the Ghost Tribe.

Yin Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, the refining of the Heavenly Ghost Blade involved the spoiling of numerous bones, making the refinement of Xuantian Treasures very difficult."

"Not to mention refining Xuantian Treasures—the mere collection of materials necessary for their refinement is incredibly challenging to complete,"

Zhang De lamented.

Ordinary Eighth Rank refining materials can be used to create Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures. In contrast, particularly rare Eighth Rank materials are required to craft Xuantian Treasures; both Xuantian Objects and the corpses of True Spirits can be used to refine Xuantian Treasures.

"Yes! Just the materials for refining a Xuantian Treasure can cause major conflicts among Mahayana Cultivators, let alone possessing one, which can significantly enhance a Mahayana Cultivator’s power,"

Wang Long expressed his agreement.

Top families starting wars over materials for refining Xuantian Treasures is not uncommon, and fights among Mahayana Cultivators might break out as well.

"True Spirits are rare; trying to kill one is extremely difficult. I remember, over two hundred thousand years ago, five Mahayana Cultivators in the Jiuxia Realm banded together to track down a True Spirit Yang Deer, and the entire operation was wiped out,"

Wang Hu said, his face showing admiration by the end.

"Even Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures can’t harm True Spirits; even Xuantian Treasures only fare slightly better. Trying to kill a True Spirit is tremendously difficult, only achievable by geniuses who might emerge once every fifty thousand years,"

Jiang Zilei remarked, recalling something. He turned towards a curvaceous woman in a purple dress and smiled, "Fairy Song, I heard that at an auction held by your Qinglian Commerce Alliance, someone offered up a descendant of a True Dragon, a Human-faced Flood Dragon in exchange."

"That’s right, indeed there was such an incident. That Human-faced Flood Dragon was of the Sixth Rank, with a Purity of Bloodline of six and was exchanged by a disciple of the Seven Stars Divine Monarch,"

the woman in the purple dress replied truthfully.

Song Yuyan, a Cultivator in the Late Stage of Void Refinement, was from the Qinglian Commerce Alliance.

"Even if it’s a descendant of a True Spirit, the higher its Rank, the more difficult it is to increase the Purity of Bloodline. If a True Spirit is indeed cultivated, it would dominate the Qingxuanzhou Realm without resistance,"

Wang Long said.

"It’s not that easy to cultivate a True Spirit. Even if a Human-faced Flood Dragon grows to the Eighth Rank, if its Purity of Bloodline doesn’t reach nine, it’s not considered a True Spirit. Having an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon is formidable; even if an enemy possesses a Xuantian Treasure, it won’t be easy to kill an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon,"

Jiang Zilei slowly stated.

For ordinary Eighth Rank Monster Beasts, a single blow from a Xuantian Treasure could be lethal. However, an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon would fare much better.

After chatting leisurely for over an hour, Jiang Zishan proposed an exchange of cultivation resources, and no one objected.

Jiang Zilei brought out over a hundred items; even the verdant stone table couldn’t accommodate them all—Spiritual Medicines, Elixirs, two thousand-year-old Spirit Wood, Refining Materials, Beast Hide, and more.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu saw many rare materials, fitting for a scion of a True Spirit Noble Family.

"Taoist Jiang, what are those three items sealed with Talismans inside the Jade Boxes?"

Shen Long asked politely.

Jiang Zilei smiled confidently, peeled off the Talismans, and gradually opened the three Jade Boxes, each containing a different fruit.

"Mysterious Purple Jade Fruit, Heavenly Dragon Fruit, Qinglian Fruit!"

Shen Long recognized these three types of Spirit Fruits; he had tasted the Mysterious Purple Jade Fruit and the Heavenly Dragon Fruit before.

Many Cultivators in the stage of Void Refinement had their eyes light up with intense desire as these three fruits ranked among the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits.

"Taoist Jiang truly deserves to be a scion of a True Spirit Noble Family; of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits, you’ve presented three."

Shangguan Zilong praised.

With his status in the Shangguan Family, being able to obtain one of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits was considered good; he definitely wouldn’t take it out for exchange.

Jiang Zilei was willing to take out these three types of Spirit Fruits for exchange, which showed he certainly didn’t lack them.

"Exchange for materials of equivalent value, refining materials preferred,"

Jiang Zilei said.

They had brought quite a few valuable items, hoping to exchange for rare materials at this Qianqing Legal Assembly.

Shen Long exchanged a five-foot section of Six Cleansing Bamboos for two Seven-Leaf Jade Lotuses, while Chu Buyu exchanged a Flesh Spirit Puppet for a Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl and a bundle of silk spat out by a Sixth Rank Seven Stars Jade Silkworm. With this, they now possessed three Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearls.

Cultivators continued to bring out items for exchange, and Shen Long along with Chu Buyu had participated in many such exchange meetings for Void Refinement Cultivators, but none were as large as this one.

Wang Long took out two Late Stage Fifth Rank Nine Suns Deer, which possessed the bloodline of the True Spirit Nine-Colored Deer. Chu Buyu exchanged a Sixth Rank Flesh Spirit Puppet for two Nine Suns Deer and two pieces of Green Veined Jin Lang Stones.

Half an hour later, Shen Long stood up, flicked his wrist, and a swath of yellow light swept past, leaving several items on the table.

"Golden Thunder Bamboo over forty thousand years old!"

Jiang Zilei’s gaze landed on two three-foot sections of Golden Thunder Bamboo, his eyes burning with desire.

The Golden Thunder Bamboo, aged over forty thousand years, could be refined into a thunder attribute treasure with no small power.

"Exchange for materials that weaken Heavenly Tribulation, or anything of equivalent value,"

Shen Long spoke.

Besides the Golden Thunder Bamboo, he also put forth a Sixth Rank Flesh Spirit Puppet, Top Grade Elixirs, and two mutated Fifth Rank Spirit Beasts.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll exchange a Sixth Rank Mid Stage Absorbing Thunder Pearl from the body of a Green Thunder Falcon for those two sections of Golden Thunder Bamboo,"

Jiang Zilei communicated telepathically, taking out a green jade box and handing it to Shen Long.

"Taoist Friend Jiang, Golden Thunder Bamboo over forty thousand years old is not very common, I just exchanged for a Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl,"

Shen Long said with deep meaning.

Rarity renders value—Jiang Zilei did not possess Golden Thunder Bamboo over forty thousand years old, and Shen Long had Sixth Rank Early Stage Absorbing Thunder Pearls, making Jiang Zilei’s Mid Stage Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl not very appealing to Shen Long.

After a brief consideration, Jiang Zilei said, "How about I add another Sixth Rank Early Stage Absorbing Thunder Pearl?"

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll use a Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl and a section of Thirty Thousand-Year-Old Entrapment Thunder Wood to exchange for your two sections of Golden Thunder Bamboo, how about that?"

Wang Hu communicated telepathically.

Entrapment Thunder Wood can absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and the older it is, the stronger its capacity. Thirty thousand-year-old Entrapment Thunder Wood was roughly equivalent to a Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl.

"Taoist Friend Wang, what Taoist Friend Jiang has offered is similar,"

Shen Long communicated telepathically.

He also sent a message to Jiang Zilei to raise his offer, the highest bid would win.

Jiang Zilei once again produced a Sixth Rank Early Stage Absorbing Thunder Pearl, and Shen Long exchanged with Jiang Zilei.

Wang Hu, somewhat disappointed, was about to take back his Absorbing Thunder Pearl and Entrapment Thunder Wood when Shen Long communicated telepathically, "Taoist Friend Wang, how about I exchange a Middle Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, Illusion-Breaking Pearl, with you? Top Grade Elixirs are also an option."

"I only want the Golden Thunder Bamboo,"

Wang Hu said gravely.

Shen Long frowned and communicated, "I also exchanged with other Void Refinement Cultivators; let me contact them and try to get the forty thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo."

He didn’t want Wang Hu to think he had a lot of forty thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo, so naturally, he needed a suitable reason.

"Fine, it’s a deal,"

Wang Hu agreed.
