News of the Solar Treasure Crystal
Chen Nianzhi immediately set his sights on the Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill. He took out the Luofu Vajra Seal and immediately offered, "I'll use this treasure, plus 20,000 Spirit Stone, to exchange for two Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill. What do you say?"
The value of a Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill is generally around 30,000 Spirit Stone, while a low-grade third-tier defensive Law Treasure is worth over 40,000. Adding another 20,000 Spirit Stone would be a reasonable price.
Before Yan Mingxu could answer, another voice suddenly came over.
"I'm willing to exchange this for your two Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill."
Chen Nianzhi frowned. The person who made the offer was Yang Yuanhe, who actually offered Tier 3 Mid-grade Law Treasure, the ' Purple-Calamity Tribulation-Transcending Lightning Pearl,' in exchange for this item.
The value of this Purple-Calamity Tribulation-Transcending Lightning Pearl is around 100,000 Spirit Stone. Exchanging it for two Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill can be considered a premium of more than 50%.
Seemingly sensing Chen Nianzhi's gaze, Yang Yuanhe cupped his hands in a respectful but firm manner and said, "These two Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill are crucial to my ability to break through to the Mid-Purple Mansion realm as soon as possible. I cannot give them up."
Although somewhat displeased, Chen Nianzhi had already acquired the Blazing Fire Crystal, and Heavenly Ruins Mountain also had Cloud-Pattern Fruit that could be used to refine the Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill. Naturally, she was unwilling to compete with a high premium and could only give the item to Yang Yuanhe.
Hearing that he wasn't going to offer a price, Yan Mingxu smiled and traded the item to Yang Yuanhe.
The Exchange Fair continued, and soon it was Chen Nianzhi's turn. He stepped forward and took out three treasures.
One is the Tier 3 Mid-grade Azure-Blood Demon Sword, the other is the Luofu Vajra Seal, and the last one is a third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Kunxu Soil.
The first two items need no further explanation. The last item, Kunxu Soil, was obtained by fortuitous opportunity the Sun Immortal Clan of Yu Commandery and was offered to the Chen Clan family's shop in exchange for a Foundation-Building Pill.
In fact, the Chen Clan has acquired a lot of treasures through their shops. Because of Lineage good reputation and their status as a native Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, cultivators in Yu Commandery would generally give priority to the Chen Clan when they obtained valuable treasures.
After taking out the three treasures, Chen Nianzhi calmly said, "I have come here only to purchase the Li-Fire Spiritual Liquid and the Solar Treasure Crystal."
"If you have this item, you can exchange it with me first."
Someone made an offer as soon as the population was available; a cultivator from the Purple Mansion Realm exchanged four portions of the Li-Fire Spiritual Liquid for the Luofu Vajra Seal.
However, the Solar Treasure Crystal was so rare that none of the people present, despite being cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm, had collected it.
Seeing that no one was making a bid, a cultivator in blue robes Purple Mansion spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Chen, since no one has Solar Treasure Crystal, are you willing to sell the Kunxu Soil?"
"I am willing to exchange a scroll of the Purple Mansion Cultivation Method for that Kunxu Soil."
"I wonder what kind of Cultivation Method it is."
Chen Nianzhi spoke up, also somewhat tempted, since the Purple Mansion Cultivation Method could also enhance the Lineage's foundation.
The man handed over the outline of the Cultivation Method, Chen Nianzhi glanced at briefly before shaking her head.
This Cultivation Method is called the Profound Abyss True-Water Scripture. It is a water-attribute Cultivation Method, but it can only be cultivated up to the Purple Mansion First Layer.
The Chen Clan's Foundation Establishment water attribute cultivators have the Bright Abyss Dao-Grace Art, so they don't need this Cultivation Method at all. After breaking through to the Purple Mansion, they can't just be wasted after cultivating one more realm.
"This Cultivation Method is only at the Purple Mansion First Layer, which is completely useless to me. Moreover, Kunxu Soil can be used to refine Life-bound Magical Treasure, so your Cultivation Method is of somewhat lower value."
The man in blue was only at the Second Layer of Purple Mansion realm. Seeing that he refused, he quickly said, "Although this Cultivation Method is somewhat inferior, it is still Purple Mansion Cultivation Method after all."
"Furthermore, if you are willing to complete this transaction, I am willing to tell you some information about the Solar Treasure Crystal."
Chen Nianzhi frowned, then said, "Is that really true?"
"Certainly."
As he spoke, the man rubbed his hands together with a smile.
After the two completed the transaction, the man quickly and quietly transmitted his message.
"Seven million li southeast of the Chu Kingdom, beyond the borders of the six states of the Ji Continent, lies Heavenly Hut Continent."
"Thirty years ago, I saw two Solar Treasure Crystal for sale in the Heavenly Hut Continent, Yuan Kingdom, Muyuan Market. I don't know if they're still there."
Thirty years ago?
Chen Nianzhi looked rather unwell, feeling like she had been deceived.
That happened thirty years ago; who knows if it's still around today?
Before he could get angry, the man in blue continued, "To be honest, the Ji Immortal Clan's most treasured artifact requires a large amount of Solar Treasure Crystal to nurture, and almost all of these artifacts in the entire Ji Continent have fallen into the hands of the Ji Clan."
"It's almost impossible for you to buy the Solar Treasure Crystal in the Ji Continent. The sect's Nascent Soul divine Divine Ability in the Nascent Immortal Realm cultivation world of Luzhou is not Pure Yang Divine Ability, so your chances of buying the Solar Treasure Crystal there are much higher."
Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi recalled some legends.
According to ancient legends, the Ji Clan and Jiang Clan clans were once among the most prestigious clans in the world.
Legend has it that the Ji Immortal Clan of the Ji Continent was once an unparalleled immortal clan with the power of Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, but for some unknown reason, the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord perished, and their status fell to that of Nascent Soul Immortal Clan.
Even so, the Ji Clan still possesses supreme treasures at the Nascent Primordial Spirit level. The current clan leader, relying on his immense strength, even killed Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, forcing the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor to sign a contract.
From then on, the Demon Race had to abide by the agreement that they could only attack the Human Race once every hundred years, while the Human Race could attack the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's forces at any time.
That Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor is of the Black Dragon Demon Race's bloodline, a being with one foot almost transformed into a dragon. Even it was willing to sign an unequal treaty, which shows the strength of the Ji Immortal Clan.
Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Nianzhi decided to go to the Heavenly Hut Continent after the battle at the Azure Sun Sect.
"..."
The Exchange Fair eventually came to an end. Although Chen Nianzhi didn't get the Solar Treasure Crystal, she still gained a lot.
He tallied his gains and found that he had exchanged Li-Fire Spiritual Liquid, obtained Blazing Fire Crystal, a scroll of the Purple Mansion Profound Abyss True-Water Scripture Cultivation Method: Profound Abyss True Water Scripture, the method for forging the Formless Immortal Sword, and 40,000 Spirit Stone.
In return, he gave up the Luofu Vajra Seal, the Tier 3 Mid-grade Law Treasure Azure-Scale Shield, three ounces of Enlightenment Tea, a piece of Purple-Bearing Azure Gold, and a piece of Kunxu Soil.
After the transaction was completed, he did not linger and flew to Yu Commandery with his spoils.
Meanwhile, in a desolate wilderness, three figures gathered together, the leader being Yan Mingxu of the Yan Immortal Clan.
Chen Nianzhi recognized one of the other two people. That person was none other than Hong Old Devil, a long-time enemy of the Chen Clan. This demon had not been seen for many years, and his cultivation had actually broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
The last person was a graceful female Devil Cultivator, whose cultivation level was also at the Mid-Purple Mansion realm; she was clearly also Devil Cultivator from the Demon Cave.
The two demons, one human and two demons, seemed perfectly natural together; on the contrary, they treated Yan Mingxu with utmost respect.
The female Devil Cultivator stood behind Yan Mingxu, a fawning smile on her face, and said, "Master, I wonder if the bait for that fat sheep has been caught yet?"
