Ancient Treasures!

Inside the elegant room of Beishan Hu.

The air was so thick it was almost oppressive; the attendants didn't dare to breathe and stood by with their hands clasped.

Both Beishan Hu and Xue Hongyi looked very unpleasant.

When Beishan Hu learned that Beishan Baiwei was in the elegant room where he had previously let the two fairies Xiaoqin and the Jade Algae Immortal enter, his face immediately darkened.

"He's just a Ten Thousand Elephant True Person, what kind of Inspector Envoy is he? Bullshit!" Beishan Hu thought to himself with resentment.

Even in a private room, they dared not utter any unrestrained curses.

He may be arrogant, but he's not stupid.

His father specifically instructed the two giants, the Elder Immortal of Yinglong Guard and the Immortal Dongshi, to be extremely cautious as if facing a formidable enemy. With the Yinglong Guard headquarters as their backing, even if that so-called Changsheng Zhenren was just a Xiantian Lifeform Zhenren, he would still have to treat him with utmost respect and not be the slightest bit presumptuous.

"I ran into Beishan Baiwei again today. It's like stepping in dog poop on my way out." Beishan Hu gritted his teeth, venting his anger on his mortal enemy, Beishan Baiwei.

Last time, he lost face because of a small tribal boy, and this time he got lucky again and got involved with that Changsheng immortal.

The matter of the villa gifted by the Antan Marquis Manor was arranged by Beishan Heihu. It is likely that Beishan Baiwei was able to come to Carefree Cave with Changsheng Zhenren in order to befriend him.

Xue Hongyi also frowned, her face extremely unpleasant.

Listening to the melodious sounds of the flute and zither emanating from the quiet room, and thinking of her beloved fawning over other men, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

He was an orphan adopted by his master. He was found lying in the snow as an infant, only wrapped in a red cotton-padded jacket. Therefore, his master bestowed upon him the surname "Xue" (Snow) and the given name "Hongyi" (Red Robe).

Having grown up in the Snow Dragon Mountain since childhood, and with a cold and stern master, Xue Hongyi was unusually indifferent to everyone except for her master, with whom she was as close as father and son.

Several months ago, when he came to Carefree Cave with his friend Yinglong Guard, he happened to see Fairy Xiao perform. The fairy, who was as beautiful as Hetian jade, was deeply imprinted in his heart.

During these days of carrying out missions, even in life-or-death battles, that beautiful figure and the sound of the flute, seemingly detached from worldly affairs, constantly lingered in his mind and ears.

"Hmm?" Beishan Hu suddenly looked out the window. "The two fairies, Xiao and Qin, have come out."

Xue Hongyi also hurriedly looked up to see.

Then, the beautiful woman he had been longing for appeared as an ordinary maid, carrying a snow-white suit of armor, walking along the suspended corridor towards the treasure-hunting platform in the center of the hall.

"Snort."

Beishan Hu snorted coldly and transmitted his voice to Xue Hongyi: "This must be that Changsheng trying to participate in the treasure-hunting competition and show off in front of us. He even treats two fairies like maids, what a show of power! It's a pity I haven't found any rare items recently, otherwise I would definitely rush to bid first and make him suffer."

During the treasure-hunting event Sea Hero Hall, various guests brought their treasures to bid on, but how many of them were truly participating for the sake of the Origin Liquid?

These young noblemen go out to show off their treasures, all they want is something rare and precious!

Even if it's just a top-grade human-rank magic weapon, even if it's much less valuable than an Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure, it's far more precious and rare.

The person who brought out such a treasure would naturally receive the envy and admiration of the guests present.

As for why he was so certain that the treasure was from that Changsheng, it's not hard to guess.

Such attention-seeking behavior is naturally reserved for the person of the highest status among friends in the same private room.

Even if others have something better, they won't bring it out to steal the spotlight from others.

Although he looked down on Beishan Baiwei, the fact that he had been able to compete with him openly and covertly for so long meant that his character and conduct must be quite good.

"Stealing the limelight?"

Xue Hongyi watched as Fairy Xiao carefully held the armor in her hands, as if it were some rare treasure, and her jealousy burned even brighter.

"Young Master Fox, I possess a set of ancient treasures, which I obtained by chance while wandering into an ancient Immortal Mansion," Xue Hongyi said. "That Changsheng is a special envoy of the Yinglong Guard, and I do not wish to offend him. May I borrow your name to participate in the treasure-hunting competition?"

"Oh?" Beishan Hu looked at Xue Hongyi in surprise.

Ancient treasures?

The so-called ancient treasures are magical artifacts that have been passed down from the ancient era of gods and demons.

Each of these magical artifacts, capable of withstanding such a long period of time, is a top-tier item among magical artifacts of the same level.

Furthermore, because it is an ancient item, its rarity is further enhanced, and it cannot be easily purchased simply by having wealth.

"Look," Xue Hongyi said, flipping her hand.

Seven different colored, glittering, eight-pointed star-shaped magical artifacts appeared in his hand.

Each eight-pointed star is adorned with ancient and mysterious patterns, clearly indicating its immense age.

However, when Beishan Hu looked closely, he found that these octagonal star wheels all seemed to have different kinds of damage, and the secret patterns were incomplete.

"This set of magical artifacts doesn't seem to be in perfect condition?" Beishan Hu frowned, somewhat unsure.

If I were to take this out to compete for treasure, I'd only be ridiculed, and I'd completely lose face tonight.

"I have already appraised this Seven Luminaries Star Wheel in the Yinglong Guard's treasury. If it were intact, it would at least be a top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon. It is precisely because it is damaged that I am willing to put it up for auction; otherwise, I would have kept it for myself," Xue Hongyi said. "Even if it is a damaged treasure, the materials used in it are all rare finds today. If it were to be reforged, there is a very high possibility that it could become a Celestial-rank magic weapon."

"I see." Beishan Hu nodded, then asked, "What price did the Yinglong Guard's treasury offer you?"

The Yinglong Guard Treasury is a dedicated exchange area for internal use. Yinglong Guard can exchange their unwanted items for merit points, which can then be used to exchange for cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, or other treasures from the treasury.

Although the purchase price was lower than that of Carefree Cave and Tianbao Mountain, the fact that it could be exchanged for merit points still attracted the Yinglong Guard to send their unwanted items there for exchange.

"It's worth at least 100,000 jin of Origin Liquid," Xue Hongyi said confidently. "The materials alone are comparable to a complete Heaven-Rank magic weapon."

"One hundred thousand catties of Origin Liquid!" Beishan Hu exclaimed in surprise. "It seems you've had quite a haul this time, Brother Red Robe."

A treasure worth 100,000 jin of Origin Liquid would qualify to be taken to the Immortal Hall for the treasure competition in Carefree Cave.

"Brother in Red, are you really going to sell? Such a treasure, once sold, will be very difficult to buy back," Beishan Hu confirmed one last time. "Don't regret it later because of a fit of pique."

"Sell," Xue Hongyi said firmly.

He's not stupid. This set of magic weapons is said to have a chance to be refined into a celestial-grade magic weapon, but the rare materials that need to be added are absolutely priceless.

Even if it were to be reforged into a Heaven-Rank magic weapon, it would require materials worth tens of thousands of kilograms of Origin Liquid, and a master craftsman would be needed to reconstruct the magic weapon's runes.

The cost would be more than enough to buy a ready-made top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon.

Not only can selling it now give me a chance to vent my anger, but I can also get at least 100,000 Origin Liquid.

With these Origin Liquid, as long as one's Dao realm breaks through, one can then step from the Myriad Phenomena to the primordial spirit.

A mere Myriad Phenomena True Person might be disregarded by the Carefree Cave, and Fairy Xiao might not care either.

But a Primordial Spirit Daoist is different.

"Good, Brother Red Robe. With your magic weapon, let's see who will laugh at us tonight." Beishan Hu laughed heartily, beckoning over a follower.

"Go and deliver this magical artifact. Remember, you must do it before the two fairies, Xiao Qin and the other one."

"Yes."

The attendant respectfully accepted it, then quickly left the elegant room and walked a few steps to the center of the hall, where he handed it over to the appraiser from Carefree Cave.

"Treasures worth 100,000 pieces of Origin Liquid haven't appeared before at the Sea Hero Hall's treasure-hunting event. Once our set of magical treasures attracts everyone's attention and ends up at an astronomical price, even if the treasures of the Changsheng Immortal are extremely rare, a few hundred or a few thousand catties of Origin Liquid won't arouse anyone's interest." Beishan Hu became more and more excited as he thought about it. "Go, have someone prepare a banquet and wine. I want to drink to my heart's content with Brother Red Robe."

In the center of the hall.

As each treasure was purchased, the treasure hunt drew to a close.

"Of the treasures that Carefree Cave prepared tonight, all but two have been sold. The one we're going to start with is the Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure Hun Wuqi treasure, the ' Little Cosmos Pearl has brought out."

On the high platform, the Zi Yi flipped her hand and took out a transparent round bead, smiling as she said, "This magic treasure has been appraised by my Carefree Cave. It should have been made by an immortal with considerable understanding of the Dao of Space as a game. Although the space opened up within the bead is not large, only a thousand feet in diameter, it can be used to collect people and allow living beings to temporarily survive within it. It possesses some of the functions of a cave-heaven magic treasure, making it quite rare. Otherwise, there's nothing particularly remarkable about it. The starting bid is two hundred Origin Liquid. Now, everyone can bid for the treasure."

Elegant interior.

Upon hearing that the treasure was brought out by Hun Wuqi, Beishan Baiwei got up, walked to the window, looked down, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This guy has found another rare find that can make him money. He's trying to cash in on it at the treasure fair, and he even set a starting price. I bet he'll only spend a maximum of two hundred Origin Liquid to buy this magic weapon."

According to the rules of the Carefree Cave Treasure Hunt, if a guest brings their own treasure to the competition, the starting price is always zero unless otherwise specified. The final price goes to the guest, and Carefree Cave does not take a cut.

However, if the customer sets a starting bid, that's a different story.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Beishan Baiwei realized his mistake and gave Zhou Hao an awkward smile.

However, he had unintentionally included Zhou Hao in the conversation.

The Dao Soldier Armor that Zhou Hao had previously presented was also priced at a minimum.

Zhou Hao smiled slightly, not minding it, and changed the subject, "Is Hun Wuqi your friend, Baiwei?"

"He is my close friend." Beishan Baiwei nodded. "This man is named Hun Wuqi. His tribe, the ' Hun Clan ' clan, are wealthy merchants whose businesses span almost the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Although they may not be among the top in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, they are one of the most prominent merchants in our Anchan Prefecture!"

"The Hun Clan has only risen to prominence in the last thousand years. The ancestor of the Hun Clan, ' Hun Tianyou,' was originally an orphan and a hoodlum. He embarked on the path of immortality by chance, but unfortunately, his aptitude was not high enough. After finally becoming Purple Mansion Cultivator, he began to seriously run his business, and unexpectedly, he really made it big." Jade Algae Immortal also praised from the side.

"Later, thanks to his immense wealth, the Hun Clan patriarch managed to cultivate to the current Primordial Spirit Daoist realm. Although the strongest members of the Hun Clan family are only two Primordial Spirit Daoist, they have been supporting two Loose Immortal for many years. They are considered one of the top tribes in Anchan Prefecture, second only to the eight major powers, and not much different from ancient families like the Meng Clan. This shows the Hun Clan patriarch's methods."

"It is indeed rare." Zhou Hao nodded slightly and walked to Beishan Baiwei's side, looking out towards the elegant room where Hun Wuqi was.

A very handsome young man was standing at the window, listening to the bids being called from the various private rooms, and smiling as he looked down at the main hall below.

"This guy is incredibly loyal to his friends and extremely generous. However, influenced by his family since childhood, he's always thinking about making money. Among us, he's known as the 'Little God of Wealth'," Beishan Baiwei. "The price has already reached three hundred and fifty taels. The Little God of Wealth has made a fortune this time, and we'll be listening to him brag about it for a long time to come."

A few hundred Origin Liquid was naturally nothing to them.

But noble young masters like Beishan Baiwei are concerned with saving face, while wealthy young masters like Hun Wuqi enjoy the thrill of making money. It's quite interesting to think about.

"Three hundred and sixty Origin Liquid," Zhou Hao suddenly announced.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment.

"The Yinglong Guard's Special Envoy, ' Changsheng Zhenren,' has offered 360 taels of Origin Liquid. Are there any higher bids?" The Zi Yi looked around at the elegant room high in the sky.

The elegant rooms, whose windows were originally closed, were now opened one after another. Guests walked to the windows to see just how extraordinary the third leader of the Yinglong Guard's An'Tan Branch, who had attracted the personal accompaniment of the Jade Algae Immortal, was.

Hun Wuqi also looked over at the sound and saw that the speaker was an unfamiliar man with an extraordinary bearing, with his close friend ' Beishan Baiwei ' standing beside him. He immediately smiled and said, "Baiwei is here too. This must be the Immortal Changsheng? Hun Wuqi greets the Changsheng."

"No wonder, Baiwei said you're a little god of wealth, would you like to come up and have a drink with me?" Zhou Hao invited with a smile.

"It is an extraordinary honor to be invited by the Immortal of Changsheng."

Hun Wuqi bowed respectfully from afar, then left the elegant room and headed towards Zhou Hao and the others.

The other guests in the private rooms could only feel envy at this sight.

Twenty days ago, the An'Tan Branch Yinglong Guard held a banquet to welcome the newly arrived special envoy, "Changsheng Zhenren," and all the top tribes and sects received invitations.

However, because Changsheng Immortal Changsheng had made a breakthrough in his cultivation at the Black-White Academy, the welcoming banquet was not held.

At that time, many outstanding direct descendants of tribal sects and clans were eager to befriend this important figure of the same rank.

Now, watching Hun Wuqi walk towards that elegant room, countless people wish they could switch places with Hun Wuqi.

"The armor that the two fairies, Xiao Qin and I, just carried must belong to the Changsheng. We must bid on it later; who knows, we might be invited to dine with Changsheng."

Everyone shared this thought.

As a result, when other treasures were brought out for bidding, the guests in each private room were quite cautious and rarely raised the price, unless it was something that someone particularly desired.

This resulted in many treasures that should have sold for high prices ultimately only fetching average prices.

First update.
