Chapter 783: Chapter 658: Transaction [Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Ticket]

In order to become immortals, many were willing to make significant sacrifices. Some went so far as to transform themselves into strange beings, give up their humanity, or even fall into madness.

As long as there is a path to immortality, no matter how unconventional or even harmful, many will bravely tread it. The great cultivators from both the righteous and the demon path also explored such routes.

The sixth epoch was an era of open-minded cultivation, no one cared whether your approach was traditional or not. Those who clung to outdated norms had already perished during the end of the Dharma period at the end of the fifth epoch!

The Dao that remained, all advocated for openness, they encouraged everyone to broaden their minds!

······

As Wang Zijia was deep in thought, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Clearly, no one had what was needed and nobody proposed to negotiate using other items.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t suggest trading with other items; rather, it’s that everyone was aware that this man, Pingyang Zi, had been collecting these specific items for hundreds of years.

He always managed to produce the coveted items, but unless it was something he desired, he never agreed to trade anything else.

A moment passed in silence, and then Pingyang Zi, inevitably disappointed, had to withdraw from the stage.

Afterward, big shots stepped onto the platform one by one, some either buying or selling. With at least sixth-grade treasure being offered, there were quite a few good items on the market.

However, almost all were available for trade, and none was being sold directly.

Once Wang Zijia felt that he had understood enough of the situation, he took his time walking onto the platform after a Yuan Shen Cultivator had made his move.

Although there were many cultivators in the tribulation stage, including six or seven Turbid Immortals, he was the rumored seventh grade Heritage Master, and he was almost universally the focus of everyone’s attention.

As such, the moment he stepped onto the platform, the entire hall quieted down. Everyone was watching him, wondering what treasure he might bring out.

······

Wang Zijia looked around at the crowd, realizing he had everyone’s attention. Without further delay, he directly reached into his storage and pulled out a beautifully crafted jade box.

He carefully opened it.

The next moment, a thick elixir fragrance and faint Immortal Spirit Qi spread out.

Many cultivators felt that a single breath of this fragrant aura was enough to make them feel relaxed.

"Seventh Grade Immortal Pills: Life Snow Lotus Pill, a standard healing treasure. Below the level of a celestial immortal, it can quickly recover any injuries as long as there is a breath left. It can even reconstruct a damaged body when used properly with certain materials."

As Wang Zijia brought out the immortal pill, the tranquility of the entire hall was instantly shattered.

"Finally, a seventh-grade immortal treasure is here!"

"That’s right, this man is definitely a big shot from some major sect."

"Of course, could an ordinary cultivator bring out such a prodigious treasure?"

"Yun Zhongzi? I’ve never heard of this name!"

"A seventh-grade immortal pill, huh? With this, it would be hard to die!"

"Hmph, it’s a waste to use this thing for physical injuries. This thing can cure various strange injuries and clear all sorts of abnormal status!"

"······"

As the crowd quietly whispered, Wang Zijia didn’t speak immediately, but allowed a few breaths of time to pass before raising his voice considerably and saying:

"This is not some obscure elixir. Since ancient times, it has been well-known. I will not elaborate on specific effects."

"What I want in exchange this time is not anything precious. In fact, it can be bought with magic money or Spirit Essences."

"What?"

"Is fellow Daoist Yun Zhong seriously saying this?"

"Really?"

The previously composed big shots in the tribulation stage were suddenly interested, and the Turbid Immortals stared even more intently at Wang Zijia’s pill.

Although Turbid Immortals theoretically could make another attempt to become immortals, their chances were slim. Repairing their Dao bodies was their top priority.

When he brought out this kind of treasure, everyone imagined he would make a demanding trade. They hadn’t had high expectations, but now....

"Can we all let me finish my requirements first?"

Wang Zijia held up his hand to placate them. A faint but intimidating Immortal Spirit Aura emanated from him, causing the crowd to hush and wait for his next words.

At this moment, Pingyang Zi, after sensing this aura, finally lifted his head to fix his gaze intently on Wang Zijia.

As the place quieted down, Wang Zijia explained further, "These pills can indeed be purchased with magic money or Spirit Essences, but I do have a small condition."

"I don’t need any rare spiritual objects. You can all feel free to bid with magic money. The highest bidder wins."

"The only additional condition is that, instead of receiving the magic money as payment, I want an equivalent amount of medicinal materials. I don’t need any rare items either."

"Explosive Spirit Pills, Love Poison Pills... I will accept the materials for more than 30 different types of pills at a market equivalent price converted to magic money; then, for a 10% labor fee, I will refine it into a pill. A trade could be negotiated based on that."

The requirement seemed complicated, but it was extraordinarily simple. However, the amount was really big.

Such grade of immortal pills, it was the big shots who were bidding at least ten thousand Spirit Essences. When converted into these low-grade pills....the amount was truly staggering.

"Is there a time limit?" Someone asked.

"Of course, it is best to deliver within half a year or a year. At least seventy percent of the requirements should be met before I provide the pill," answered Wang Zijia without missing a beat.

Apparently simple conditions, but they left everyone silent.

At this moment, Pingyang Zi suddenly spoke, "So, fellow Daoist is using this Immortal Pill to exchange for low-level medicine, but doesn’t follow the market price, only the material price, right?"

Wang Zijia frowned slightly, "I have already included a ten percent labor charge. For such a large batch of low-grade pills, the wholesale price is just about right."

Pingyang Zi nodded, "My mistake, I apologize to you, fellow Daoist."

"No matter!" Wang Zijia said indifferently.

Pingyang Zi continued, "Fellow Daoist, you may see your request as low, but in truth, there are not many places that can gather this many materials and refine them into elixirs within a year. Simply because the moment quantities increase, it’s very likely to affect short-term market fluctuation, ultimately leading to a lot of excess prices, or even failing to gather the necessary amount."

Wang Zijia nodded his head, saying, "Of course, I know. But are my demands stricter compared to those who hold sixth-grade treasures and still have all sorts of other requests?"

Pingyang Zi waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. That’s not what I meant. What I want to say is that no matter who ends up winning the bid, I can take on the order for refining. I’ll just charge the ten percent labor fee you stated, without any additional spirit essence."

"Even if the fellow daoist has such a need in the future, you can still come to me. The price will remain the same."

Wang Zijia’s brow creased slightly but the eyes of the people around him brightened.

"What’s the condition?" Wang Zija questioned, unfazed.

"Do you already possess a life-bound Immortal Weapon?" Pingyang Zi answered the question with a question, glancing eagerly at Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia nodded his head, this was something he didn’t hide in the first place.

"Then, fellow Daoist’s method of refining..." Pingyang Zi looked eagerly, his face full of expectation.

Wang Zijia realized instantly, there were many who had Innate life magic weapons that had become Immortal Artifacts, but those who could achieve this during the Tribulation Stage were probably those who walked the Artifact Path. Wang Zijia smiled and said, "Struggling to reach Seventh Grade, perhaps!"

The crowd below was shocked upon hearing this.

Seventh-grade Heritage Masters were one thing; even though they belonged among the Three Inheritance Paths, they were somewhat minor compared to a seventh-grade Big Shot...

Such a person would be outstanding even if placed in the Central Immortal Domain!

"What, is this person a Seventh Grade Immortal Weapon Forging Master?"

"How is that possible? I remember all the Immortal Weapon Forging Masters in the entire Central Immortal Domain!"

"I also remember the Immortal Weapon Forging List, and weapon forgers shouldn’t remain unknown!"

"Could this be a hidden Old Monster!"

"It shouldn’t be; although I don’t know what the other party wants to do with these miscellaneous pills, if they really are an Old Monster, surely they won’t be lacking options if they just let their sect know?"

"Indeed, moreover, a refiner master practicing in seclusion? What a weird idea!"

"······"

While everyone was discussing among themselves, Pingyang Zi eagerly said, "I don’t ask for much. I just hope that when I need, the fellow Daoist can help me refine tools twice with all your strength. How is that?"

"Of course, I won’t skimp on whatever costs you might incur."

As a forger, asking another forger for help was somewhat humiliating.

However, the matter of an Innate life magic treasure becoming Immortal was paramount. If forging together could lead to a successful result, he would even let the other party take the lead.

Hearing this, Wang Zijia relaxed, saying: "This matter is simple. In fact, I have a considerable connection with your Taiching. Even without this condition, I would help if you need it."

"Oh? Could it be that fellow Daoist is from the Shangqing or Yuqing lineage?" Pingyang Zi asked as such.

Wang Zijia waved his hand, not delving into this matter further.

He looked back to the crowd, saying: "In that case, let’s bid with just money. The highest bidder wins, and completes the transaction with Pingyang Zi. After receiving seventy percent of the elixir, I’ll hand over the pill."

"One hundred thousand spirit essence!"

As soon as Wang Zijia’s voice fell, someone tried to make an offer.

This price set a super high price for a Seventh-grade consumable product.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred and fifteen thousand!"

"······"

After a while, it went up to one hundred and thirty thousand.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted everyone.

Everyone instinctively looked at Pingyang Zi.

Pingyang Zi looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone, don’t stare at me like that. Although I agreed to help you refine pills for free, I didn’t say that I myself don’t want this pill!"

The crowd: "······"

In the end, the elixir was purchased at a super high price of one hundred and seventy thousand by Pingyang Zi, who indeed turned out to be a rich equipment cultivator preparing to become an immortal!

This price was already quite outrageous. Normally, a consumable product, even if it was a holy healing product, barring a few extremely special cases, it would be very difficult to exceed a hundred thousand spirit essence.

After all, the price of an Immortal Artifact started at a million.

For a few Immortal Pills to be compared to an Immortal Artifact, they must possess some outrageous effects!

The reason this healing pill has such a price mainly comes down to its good timing and environment.

Recently, there were many Big Shots who got injured, and high-end medicine was scarce!

After this, there were a few more Turbid Immortals on stage, and there was also no shortage of those who brought out Immortal Artifacts. But none of them didn’t have demands related to becoming an Immortal and were far more demanding than Wang Zijia.

This made Wang Zijia realize that gathering the spirit items necessary for becoming an Immortal, or rather the precious items he needed, likely wouldn’t be easy to prepare over one or two years!

The exchange session ended, and the gathering was nearing its end.

Wang Zijia mingled with a group of Big Shots for about seven minutes more, being surrounded and networked by everyone.

Subsequently, when everyone started to leave, Wang Zijia quietly took his leave.
