Obtaining Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood
After a short while, Shen Long arrived at a spacious Bluestone Square. There were many stalls there, and most of the stall owners were Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while some were Core Formation Cultivator.
The stalls mainly sell Monster Beast Material, but also contain ores, Spirit Wood, and spirit medicine.
Shen Long walked around, his gaze sweeping over the items on the stall.
As Shen Long passed a small stall, a Red Spirit Beast Bag at his waist swayed slightly.
He stopped and glanced at a small stall. The stall was filled with a lot of ore, and the stall owner was a burly man in a gold shirt with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was broad-shouldered and had a strong Sha Qi.
How much for these ores?
Shen Long asked.
"If you like it, senior, just give me some Spirit Stone."
The burly man in the golden robe spoke, his voice booming.
Shen Long took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to the burly man in golden robes. The man scanned it with his Divine Sense, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "If you like it, senior, these ores are all yours."
Shen Long packed up the ore from his stall, got up, and left.
As he walked, he looked around and saw many strange and unusual things.
Half an hour later, Shen Long stopped in front of a small stall. The stall owner was a portly Red-Robed Elder. The Red-Robed Elder was wearing a loose Daoist robe and had a palm-sized Red Gourd tied around his waist.
The stall displayed several exquisite wine jars and pots, and the aroma of wine filled the air.
"Do you have any Third Rank Spirit Wine, fellow Daoist?"
Shen Long asked.
"There are several kinds of Third Rank Spirit Wine. Which one do you prefer, fellow cultivator?"
The Red-Robed Elder enthusiastically explained the effects of the five types of Third Rank Spirit Wine.
"Golden Ganoderma Jade Liquid! Enhances Divine Sense!"
Shen Long was somewhat tempted.
"This wine is brewed with Golden Agate Fruit as the main ingredient. Fellow Daoist, you are welcome to try it; the taste is indeed quite good."
The Red-Robed Elder spoke warmly, picked up a blue wine pot and a blue wine cup, and poured a cup for Shen Long.
"Can we still taste it?"
Shen Long was somewhat surprised.
"Others may not receive this treatment. Fellow Daoist is clearly not an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator. I believe you would not be greedy for such a small advantage."
The Red-Robed Elder explained.
With so many Spirit Beast Bag tied around his waist, Shen Long was clearly no ordinary Core Formation Cultivator. Without a certain level of wealth, it would be impossible to raise so many Spirit Beast Spirit Insect.
Shen Long took the glass, took a sip, and found it spicy at first, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
He could clearly feel a faint surge of Divine Sense entering his sea of consciousness.
"Indeed, it can enhance Divine Sense. I've never heard of such Spirit Wine in the North Sea Cultivation World. Did you brew it yourself, fellow cultivator?"
Shen Long asked casually.
"Of course, I come from the Southern Border, and most of the ingredients used in these Spirit Wine are unique to the Southern Border. It's normal that you haven't heard of them before."
The Red-Robed Elder said.
How much is this wine?
Shen Long asked.
"Trading is only, no selling. Third Rank Demon Core with Thunder Attribute, or materials of equal value are also acceptable."
The Red-Robed Elder said.
Shen Long took out a Blue Jade Box, handed it to the Red-Robed Elder, and said, "How about the Demon Core of a late -Third Rank -tier Golden Thunder Turtle?"
The Red-Robed Elder opened the jade box, inside which was a golden Demon Core core the size of an egg.
"Make a deal!"
The Red-Robed Elder looked pleased and handed Shen Long an exquisite red wine pot.
"I am Chen Xian, and I also have other excellent Spirit Wine. Are you interested, fellow Daoist?"
The Red-Robed Elder spoke warmly.
"No."
Shen Long politely declined and got up to leave.
He strolled around the Bluestone Square, bought some Monster Beast Material, and then left.
As darkness fell, Shen Long rented an attic room and settled in.
He entered a secret room, took out the ore he had bought, and his right hand flashed with a blinding red light, transforming into a huge dragon claw. He picked up a black ore the size of a watermelon, which felt icy cold to the touch.
Shen Long clenched his five fingers, crushed the black ore, and a red crystal the size of an egg rolled out and fell to the ground.
He picked up the red crystal, which revealed a flame pattern. Holding the red crystal felt like holding a ball of blazing fire.
"Separation Fire Crystal!"
Shen Long was overjoyed.
Separation Fire Crystal is a fourth-order material, produced from Ten-Thousand-Year Volcano.
If it weren't for the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen's warning, Shen Long wouldn't have noticed.
The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen is particularly sensitive to high-level refining materials, especially fire-attribute materials.
Shen Long got a great deal this time; the owner was Foundation Establishment Cultivator who hadn't even noticed.
There are many Volcano in the Outer Sea, which have given birth to some precious materials for refining weapons. When the Volcano erupt, these materials are mixed in with the magma. After cooling, they are encased in the magma and no abnormality can be seen from the outside.
Shen Long put Separation Fire Crystal and released the Golden-Winged Fire Ant, letting them eat the ore on the ground.
He sat cross-legged on a Cyan Prayer Mat, meditating and regulating his breathing.
······
A secluded manor with the words "Star-Moon Garden" written on its plaque, and two Foundation Establishment Cultivator guarding the entrance.
A voluptuous woman in a golden dress sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, with Chu Buyu standing beside her.
"Buyu, haven't you found that traitor yet?"
The woman in the golden dress spoke first.
Liu Yuyao, Nascent Soul Early Stage.
"Not yet, Aunt Liu."
Chu Buyu spoke.
"If it doesn't work out, then forget it. It's not a big deal. There's no need to waste too much time on this. I'll send someone else to handle it!"
Liu Yuyao said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Liu. I appreciate it. This is a task my master gave me, and I must complete it."
Chu Buyu said seriously.
"You stubborn girl! Whatever! Be careful, our Sun and Moon Palace has considerable power, and we have many enemies too."
Liu Yuyao gave her instructions.
"Understood, Aunt Liu."
Chu Buyu agreed.
······
Three days passed quickly. Early one morning, a large number of cultivators gathered at the entrance of a magnificent palace with the three large characters "Star-Moon Hall" written on the plaque.
The Star-Moon Hall was the venue for this Auction, and a large number of cultivators lined up to enter the venue.
Shen Long was in the queue. After a short while, he arrived at the entrance, paid the entrance fee of one thousand Spirit Stone, and the guard let him in.
The main hall was spacious and bright, furnished with many Cyan Jade Chair. The walls on the left and right sides were carved with patterns of sea monsters. In the center was a Bluestone Platform a hundred feet high, on which a square blue jade table was placed.
Shen Long found a seat near the front and sat down.
His main purpose for this trip was to bid for the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon, hoping to acquire the best possible specimen.
Time passed slowly, and a large number of cultivators entered the venue, most of them Core Formation Cultivator, and even two Nascent Soul Cultivator.
A slightly hunched Blood-Robed Elder, with a square face and large eyes, his robe embroidered with a blood-red raven; and a plump White-Skirted Woman, with skin as white as snow and eyes as clear as water.
"Blood Crow True Monarch! Ice Moon Fairy! Why have these two seniors come in person? Do they have resources that Nascent Soul Cultivator need?"
"Of course they are, otherwise why would these two seniors come here!"
"It seems this Auction quite large; even these two seniors have come."
······
Some Core Formation Cultivator recognized the two Nascent Soul Cultivator and whispered among themselves.
Shen Long had also heard of these two Nascent Soul Cultivator. Blood Crow True Monarch and Ice Moon Fairy were already famous and quite powerful. They were not among the Ten Immortals of the Overseas the Ten Immortals of the Overseas, whose weakest members were at least at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage.
Blood Crow True Monarch and Ice Moon Fairy ignored the other cultivators, sitting quietly in their chairs and waiting patiently.
Fifteen minutes later, the Auction began with a loud chime.
A man of medium build, dressed in a blue robe, walked up to the circular platform. Judging from his aura, he was a Core Formation Cultivator.
"My Shen Lin. Welcome, seniors and fellow Daoists, to this Auction. I Auction. The highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough Spirit Stone, you can auction off other items."
The man in the blue robe clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
He took out ten Cyan Porcelain Bottle and said, "Ten portions of Golden Core Jade Liquid, to be auctioned separately, with a starting price of 150,000 Spirit Stone, and each auction must be no less than 10,000 spirit stones."
"150,000!"
"Sixteen thousand!"
"Seventeen thousand!"
······
Prices soared, attracting some Foundation Establishment Cultivator to participate in the bidding. For smaller forces, a single dose of Golden Core Jade Liquid could potentially produce an Core Formation Cultivator, so they naturally had to bid.
Shen Long naturally had no interest and remained silent.
All ten portions of Golden Core Jade Liquid were auctioned off at high prices, with the lowest transaction price being 330,000 Spirit Stone and the highest being 400,000 Spirit Stone.
Two Foundation Establishment Cultivator won the bid for the Golden Core Jade Liquid, paid the Spirit Stone, put away the Golden Core Jade Liquid, and left the venue.
Shen Lin took out two Cyan Porcelain Bottle and said, "Two bottles of Green Civet Pill, both High-Grade Medicinal Pill with excellent detoxification effects. They will be auctioned separately, with a starting price of 50,000 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 10,000 spirit stones higher."
"Fifty thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
······
The price quickly surpassed 100,000 Spirit Stone and is still climbing.
The two bottles of Green Civet Pill were sold for Spirit Stone and 160,000 Spirit Stone respectively. The value of the resources needed by cultivators after advancing to the Golden Core Realm has greatly increased.
After bidding for two bottles of Green Civet Pill, Shen Lin took out two blue porcelain bottles and said, "Two bottles of Water Moon Pill. These pills are effective in enhancing Law Power. High-Grade Medicinal Pill. The starting price is 50,000 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 10,000 spirit stones higher."
"Fifty thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
······
Shen Lin took out a variety of items, including pills, Talisman, Formation, Law Treasure, Demon Core, and Monster Beast Material, all of which fetched high prices. A single Law Treasure could sell for over 500,000 Spirit Stone, while a better one could sell for over 700,000.
Shen Long bid on two Spirit Rearing Fruit and two Demon Core cores of mid-stage Third Rank Green Wind Peng, but did not bid on Law Treasure.
After bidding for a shield, Shen Lin took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and said, "This is the Essence Blood of Third Rank -tier Fire Flood Dragon. A fellow Daoist consigned this item for auction; it's for exchange only, not for sale. It can be exchanged for something of equal value."
No sooner had these words been spoken than dozens of Core Formation Cultivator flew onto the circular platform and took out items for Shen Lin to examine.
Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, handed it to Shen Lin, and said telepathically, "A high-grade Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill."
High-Grade Medicinal Pill are already quite precious, and elixirs that heal injuries to the soul are even more so.
Shen Lin took out the Communication Disk, contacted the owner, and ultimately chose to exchange it with Shen Long.
Hundreds of eyes turned to Shen Long Shen Long, but he ignored them and returned to his original position.
