Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator
After swatting away the Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood, eighteen burly men carried a huge blue iron cage to the Bluestone Platform. Inside the cage was a Blue Giant Ape, baring its teeth.
"This is a mid-stage Third Rank Sea Ape with Bloodline Purity of three. A senior consigned it for Auction. This beast possesses immense strength; it can be used to exchange for array materials."
Shen Lin said.
"Third Rank Spirit Beast with Bloodline Purity of three!"
Shen Long nodded, showing little interest.
Many cultivators walked up to the Bluestone Platform and communicated with Shen Lin telepathically, while Shen Lin used the Communication Disk to communicate with the owner of the item.
The Sea Ape was eventually exchanged for the Ice Flood Dragon Master of the Three Immortals Sect, but what he gave in return is unknown.
"For this Auction, we have prepared four highlight items. The first item is a Nascent Soul Formation Pill, which can be exchanged for materials of equal value."
Shen Lin took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and said loudly.
"Nascent Soul Formation Pill!"
The Core Formation Cultivator present stirred, their gazes becoming increasingly fervent.
Dozens of Core Formation Cultivator flew to the Bluestone Platform and communicated with Shen Lin via telepathy.
"Every time you hold a large Auction, you bring out Nascent Soul Formation Pill, but have you ever successfully sold them? It's time to bring out a second item for auction!"
Blood Crow True Monarch said somewhat impatiently.
Shen Lin examined the belongings of dozens of Core Formation Cultivator and ultimately chose to exchange with a short, dwarf man.
The man was dressed in a red Daoist robe, had an old face, a long beard, and carried a dark red wooden sword on his back. Judging from his aura, he had the cultivation level of the Core Formation Late Stage stage.
"Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator!"
Someone recognized the person.
The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator was born short, looking about the same age as a nine-year-old child. In fact, he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. Due to his unique appearance, he was well-known in the Outer Sea and was hailed as the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator by many cultivators.
"Young Friend Lin incredibly capable, managing to exchange for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill!"
Blood Crow True Monarch praised.
"You flatter me, senior."
The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator gave an embarrassed smile, put away the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, and turned to leave the venue.
Other Core Formation Cultivator who wanted to follow were stopped by the guards. According to the rules, if someone leaves the Auction midway, another person can only leave after half an hour. During this time, the cultivators in the Auction could not use communication Law Artifact to contact their relatives and friends outside.
Without corresponding protective measures, who would attend this Auction?
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lin went to Immortal Fallen Island. It seems to be true. He must have obtained something good there, which is why he was able to exchange it for the Immortal Fallen Island Nascent Soul Formation Pill."
"Tsk tsk, after all these years, someone actually managed to trade away the Nascent Soul Formation Pill."
"It's no big deal to exchange the Nascent Soul Formation Pill. He's being watched anyway. His features are so easy to identify; even disguise won't work."
The cultivators were abuzz with discussion.
Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator obtained the Nascent Soul Formation Pill. He was still Rogue Cultivator, so it was fine if he stayed in the Marketplace. But if he left the Marketplace, he would definitely be hunted down.
A single Nascent Soul Formation Pill can drive many Core Formation Cultivator crazy, and even some Nascent Soul Cultivator will be tempted, as they have disciples or descendants who would be a good match for it.
Shen Lin took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and said, "One bottle of fourth-grade Heavenly Cloud Pill, a High-Grade Medicinal Pill that can enhance Law Power. In exchange, I'll give you materials of equal value."
Blood Crow True Monarch and Ice Moon Fairy walked to the Bluestone Platform, took out the items and showed them to Shen Lin. Shen Long ultimately chose to exchange with Blood Crow True Monarch.
Blood Crow True Monarch looked pleased, took the porcelain bottle, and returned to his seat.
"The complete set of the Law Treasure Universe Rings, starting price 500,000 Spirit Stone, each bid must be at least 100,000 spirit stones higher."
Shen Lin took out two rings, one gold and one silver.
A complete set of Law Treasure is quite powerful; having a complete set of Law Treasure can increase one's strength.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Six hundred thousand!
"Seven hundred thousand!"
·······
The price soared, and after a fierce bidding war, it was finally sold for a high price of 1.4 million, which was won by Chen Xian. Chen Xian did not have enough Spirit Stone, so he put some materials up for auction, including the Poison Sac of Third Rank Nine-Rosy Beast. Shen Long won the Poison Sac at a high price.
Shen Lin took out a round bead that shimmered with blue light and said, "Heavenly Ape Bead. This treasure is infused with the Essence Soul of a fourth-tier early-stage Mystic Water Ape. It can transform into human form to attack and Mystic Water Ape's Divine Ability abilities. Its strength is extraordinary."
He cast a spell, and the Heavenly Ape Bead emitted a blinding blue light, transforming into a gigantic blue ape with bared teeth and fierce eyes.
The Mystic Water Ape moved its arms and pounded its chest, letting out a deafening roar.
Shen Lin raised his right hand, and a foot-long Cyan Flying Knife shot out, heading straight for the Mystic Water Ape.
The Mystic Water Ape's right fist emitted a bright blue light as it punched out, colliding with the Cyan Flying Knife. A muffled thud of metal clashing against metal was heard, and the Cyan Flying Knife flew backward, returning to Shen Lin's front.
He made a hand seal, and the Mystic Water Ape transformed into a Blue Round Bead, which flew down into his hand.
"To be on the side of the bidders, we won't showcase the Mystic Water Ape's other Divine Ability. In return, we'll use materials or treasures of equal value."
Shen Lin said.
Several cultivators stepped forward and tried to communicate with Shen Lin telepathically, wanting to exchange the Heavenly Ape Bead for it.
The Ice Moon Fairy successfully exchanged the Heavenly Ape Bead, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Shen Lin took out a Cyan Jade Box and retrieved Talisman that shimmered with golden light. The Talisman had a Fire Crow pattern on its surface and emitted astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
"Fourth-tier Talisman!"
Shen Long became interested.
With a fourth-tier Talisman in hand, Shen Long essentially had a trump card to save his life.
"Heavenly Monster Talisman! Isn't this the Secret Talisman of the Southern Border Heavenly Talisman Sect? Fellow Daoist Shen, your abilities are so great that you were able to obtain this talisman."
Chen Xian asked in surprise.
"It is indeed Heavenly Monster Talisman, consigned by a senior. This talisman is infused with the Essence Soul a fourth-tier early-stage Golden-Winged Fire Crow, which can temporarily grant cultivators the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and allow them to unleash some of the Golden-Winged Fire Crow's Divine Ability in exchange for elixirs of longevity!"
Shen Lin spoke.
The cultivators present exchanged bewildered glances. Elixirs and miraculous medicines for prolonging life were extremely precious, and Nascent Soul Cultivator with a lifespan of 1,200 years was already considered to be of advanced age.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Shen Lin said, "A fourth-tier Flood Dragon's hide, a thousand-year-old Monster Luring Grass... Fourth-Order Thunder-Guiding Bead —with these materials, we can exchange them for this talisman."
Several cultivators stepped forward and communicated with Shen Lin telepathically. Shen Lin held a Communication Disk in his hand and communicated with the owner of the item.
This Heavenly Monster Talisman was auctioned off, but couldn't be exchanged.
"This Auction now concluded. We will prepare more and better items for the next one."
Shen Lin said.
The cultivators left the venue one after another, Shen Long also left.
After leaving the venue, Shen Long strolled around the streets and noticed some people following him, presumably after the Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood.
Shen Long strolled around the Marketplace for a while before returning to his residence.
He released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada -Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light, allowing it to easily see what was happening outside.
"Dare to mess with me? You're courting death."
Shen Long snorted coldly.
He put the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada back into his Spirit Beast Bag and sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing.
······
In a secluded manor, Liu Yuyao and a tall, thin old man in a golden robe sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, besides the elixirs for prolonging life and those ingredients, can't you change your condition?"
Liu Yuyao said.
"No way! You think the Heavenly Monster Talisman is just an ordinary fourth-tier Talisman? This is Secret Talisman of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, extremely difficult to refine. I finally managed to obtain one."
The old man in the golden robe frowned and said.
"It's a pity that it's only Heavenly Monster Talisman refined with the Golden-Winged Fire Crow. If it were Heavenly Monster Talisman of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon Essence Soul Thunder Phoenix Essence Soul, it could be exchanged for a longevity elixir."
Liu Yuyao said in a regretful tone.
The old man in the golden robe was named Jin Dingtian, one of the Three Immortals of the Southern Border.
"Immortal Fallen Island might have spirit medicine and fruits that can prolong life. You could make a trip Immortal Fallen Island and try your luck."
Liu Yuyao seemed to remember something and offered a suggestion.
There are many types of Heavenly Monster Talisman. The stronger the Demon Beast was in life, the greater the power of the Heavenly Monster Talisman Heavenly Monster Talisman its Essence Soul is refined. The Sun and Moon Palace certainly has elixirs and miraculous medicines for prolonging life, but to use them to exchange for Heavenly Monster Talisman refined with a fourth-order Golden-Winged Fire Crow would be a waste.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Before that, I'll make a few more trips to other places. Farewell, Madam Liu."
Jin Dingtian rose to take his leave and departed.
