The Five-Calamity Treasure Jade was a palm-sized square. Five colors seemed to flow across its surface, casting a soft glow through its shimmering aura. Within it lay the Five-Element Origin Mechanism, which could help its bearer survive tribulations.
At first, everyone's attention had been on the Starfall Iron and Stellar Gangue Stone from the Void Refinement Realm. Then came the Heavenly God Sand, a specialty of the Divine Path from Zhongtian Yanzhou Continent, followed by the Crimson Flame Fruit from Nanxiao Domain Continent.
But the moment the Five-Calamity Treasure Jade appeared, every eye turned toward it. Even cultivators at other stalls, along with some of the vendors, gathered around.
"It's like a jade disc, with five lights flowing across it and a radiant five-colored glow. It really is the Integration Realm treasure, the Five-Calamity Treasure Jade!" a Daoist exclaimed, beside himself with excitement.
Many people recognized the Daoist, and so did Ao Jin. He was a vendor who had kept a stall at Dragon Palace Market for years. He had languished at the Void Refinement Extreme Realm for a long time, and his whole reason for saving money here was to exchange it for a piece of Five-Calamity Treasure Jade so he could face his Integration tribulation.
"Master, what's Five-Calamity Treasure Jade?"
A junior of the Middle Three Realms looked blankly at his master. The old man enjoyed teaching others, so he explained, "Rogue Cultivators like us aren't like the Daoist prodigies of the Pure Yang Sacred Lands. We have no Pure Yang patriarch to steady our fortunes, nor do we have their wealth of rare treasures and records on surviving tribulations in the Upper Three Realms. Every step toward a breakthrough is a heavenly gate to cross. This Five-Calamity Treasure Jade is a supreme treasure for surviving tribulations."
