Earth Spirit Liquid, Auction

A Golden Saint Phoenix that had failed to break through to Heavenly Sovereign—Futu Yun had specially prepared this for Wen Qingxuan.

Firstly, it would help her recover her cultivation; secondly, it would build momentum for publicity.

During this period, the Pagoda Ancient Clan's Expedition Group had conquered many Lower Planes and gained control of vast resources.

Most of those resources were of relatively low grade, but there was no shortage of treasures.

Such as this Golden Saint Phoenix that had failed to reach Heavenly Sovereign.

There were actually quite a few treasures like this.

Some peak experts from Lower Planes had been unwilling to submit to the Pagoda Ancient Clan.

Instead, after their Lower Planes merged into the Great Thousand World, they had tried to claim those newly formed continents for themselves.

They were nothing more than frogs at the bottom of a well. Futu Yun had simply sent people to capture them alive and use methods like this to lure them to their deaths.

There were also many other experimental subjects like the Golden Saint Phoenix.

Futu Yun had captured quite a few Earthly Sovereign-level spirit beasts, and even divine beasts.

He had infused them with Earthly Power and the power of planes, yet they had all ultimately perished beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation.

Although they had failed to break through, their corpses had reached the Heavenly Sovereign level as materials.

Trading them for Supreme Spiritual Liquid would have been a terrible loss. Exchanging them for treasures of the same level was the only fitting option.

But how could suitable treasures be found just because one wanted them?

Treasures that suited oneself especially well were even rarer, something one could only encounter by chance.

Those backed by powerful factions had it somewhat easier, while independent cultivators found it extremely difficult even to locate peers of the same level to trade with.

Thus, Futu Yun organized a high-end trade fair within the Pagoda Ancient Clan, where every item displayed was a top-tier treasure.

The lowest-grade items were at the Earthly Sovereign level, while even more were Heavenly Sovereign-level treasures.

He had even brought out a portion of "Earth Spirit Liquid."

This item was not naturally formed.

It was refined using Earthly Power as a catalyst, supplemented by the Plane Spirit Origin of numerous Lower Planes.

It could help an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection break through their shackles and advance to Heavenly Sovereign.

Though it could not guarantee success, its formula was far superior to that of a Son of the Continent.

Put simply, a Son of the Continent receiving an infusion of Earthly Power only increased their chances of breaking through in the future.

But "Earth Spirit Liquid" could directly aid in a breakthrough.

In truth, the item itself had no real technical threshold. Its ingredients were simply exceedingly rare.

Earthly Power was already an invaluable treasure to every major super faction.

Not only did it require a Heavenly Sovereign to mobilize it, but more importantly, it needed time to accumulate.

The origin power of Lower Planes was even more difficult to obtain.

People capable of ascending from a small Lower Plane into the Great Thousand World were already scarce.

Those who successfully ascended as Plane Masters were rarer still.

After arriving in the Great Thousand World, every one of those people was exceptional.

Or rather, before becoming exceptional, they did not dare make themselves known, fearing they would be targeted and even bring disaster upon the Lower Planes behind them.

And once such people had fully grown, they would never permit others to destroy the Lower Planes from which they came.

Thus, Plane Spirit Origin was even more of a treasure that could only be encountered by chance.

Only the Pagoda Ancient Clan's Expedition Group could produce enough materials to refine it.

Using the Earthly Power of the Great Thousand World as a catalyst, they refined Plane Spirit Origin into "Earth Spirit Liquid."

This item was also the finale of this trade fair.

A treasure capable of helping an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection break through the barrier of Heaven was already more than enough of a gimmick to attract crowds.

One had to know that even among the Five Great Ancient Clans, such a treasure was priceless and, in principle, absolutely forbidden from leaving the clan.

So when Futu Yun brought it out as the trade fair's selling point—

Many people's first reaction was: Had that prodigal young clan leader gone mad?

Even Futu Xuan, the Pagoda Ancient Clan's Grand Elder, could no longer keep him in check!

But soon, the more perceptive people realized something.

Since Futu Yun dared to use a portion of "Earth Spirit Liquid" as a gimmick, he must surely have more in reserve!

Once they realized this, the entire Great Thousand World erupted.

Countless factions flocked to Futuo Continent.

Nominally, they were there to support the young clan leader's trade fair, but in truth, they had all come to investigate information about "Earth Spirit Liquid."

They wanted to seize the opportunity to get a share of the profits!

In the past, the Pagoda Ancient Clan would not have brought out even a single portion of Earth Spirit Liquid, but times had changed.

When they had first refined "Earth Spirit Liquid," they had produced quite a few defective batches from the start.

So they did not care at all about selling a few portions.

Besides, they still held the coordinates of so many Lower Planes and could obtain more Plane Spirits whenever they wished.

Moreover, within the Pagoda Ancient Clan, those Earthly Sovereigns with sufficient foundations had already used Earth Spirit Liquid.

Put simply, this item had long been in surplus production.

It was the perfect opportunity to make a fortune as well.

After countless secret private transactions, a large batch of Earth Spirit Liquid changed hands smoothly, each portion bringing immense gains.

As super factions, every clan possessed deep foundations.

Over countless years, their ancestors had left behind innumerable treasures.

Even if some treasures had no use in ordinary times, keeping them was itself part of their foundation.

And Futu Yun bought back all of that accumulated wealth, further strengthening the Pagoda Ancient Clan's foundation.

After all, the Pagoda Ancient Clan now had so many more Heavenly Sovereigns, yet their average strength was painfully low, to put it mildly.

Many of those Heavenly Sovereigns had advanced from Earthly Sovereign.

It was not that their foundations were unstable. The key issue was that their equipment could not keep up.

The Pagoda Ancient Clan did not lack resources such as inheritances, but spiritual artifacts could only be used by one person at a time.

Thus, many Heavenly Sovereigns were still fighting with ordinary Sacred Artifacts!

In the Great Thousand World, divine artifacts were not the most supreme treasures. Above divine artifacts came Sacred Artifacts.

However, Sacred Artifacts were extremely rare, and their power was enough to make even Earthly Sovereigns covet them.

But Sacred Artifacts were exceptionally difficult to refine and often required long periods of time.

It was commonplace for one not to be produced even after several centuries, or even a thousand years.

Moreover, the power possessed by Sacred Artifacts could indeed be called world-destroying.

They were enough to reverse the outcome of an Earthly Sovereign-level battle.

In the Great Thousand World, the number of Sacred Artifacts a faction possessed was itself one of the measures of a top faction's foundation.

Top factions all needed Sacred Artifacts to suppress their fortune.

And in the Great Thousand World, a single Sacred Artifact was worth at least ten million portions of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

But Sacred Artifacts were already of little use to Heavenly Sovereigns.

What Heavenly Sovereigns needed were Quasi-peerless Sacred Artifacts, or even true Peerless Sacred Artifacts!

Even the Pagoda Ancient Clan had no way to satisfy the needs of so many Heavenly Sovereigns.

That was why Futu Yun held this trade fair.

Of all the gains, the most valuable were Martial Realm's Martial Ancestor's Azure Dragon Origin and a reverse scale from the True Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan.

However, the transaction with the Martial Ancestor had been completed before the trade fair.

After all, the Martial Ancestor had already given him the Azure Dragon Origin.

Futu Yun could hardly fail to respond, so he sent two portions of Earth Spirit Liquid over.

As for the True Dragon Emperor, he had come to trade of his own accord.

Futu Yun possessed quite a few spirit beasts, divine beasts, and even Super Divine Beasts that had failed to break through to Heavenly Sovereign.

To humans, those remains were merely materials.

But to Super Divine Beast races, they were an opportunity to strengthen their own race.

For example, Futu Yun possessed a Nine Nether Frost Sparrow that had failed to break through to Heavenly Sovereign.

If this item were sent to the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, the power of its bloodline could help the Nine Nether Frost Sparrows within the clan further purify their bloodlines.

And corpses of spirit beasts like these had already piled up like mountains in Futu Yun's possession.

Put simply, all of them had been piled up using failed Earth Spirit Liquid that could not even be considered defective.
