Chapter 1114
A Grand Trading Event: Identifying and Acquiring Treasures
Upon hearing the words "Black Gold Profound Iron," Ye Yang's brows furrowed in surprise before he spoke.
"I wonder if I could have the opportunity to examine this object more closely."
The man nodded and handed Ye Yang a piece of black gold iron the size of a human head.
Ye Yang took it, and then gently brushed his fingertips across the black gold iron.
You can feel the cool touch, and there's a deep, sharp edge to it.
Especially at this moment, it may have sensed the sharpness of this black gold iron.
The Evil King Blade moved on its own without any wind, letting out a long cry as its baleful aura roared out, faintly resonating with the black gold and profound iron.
Minerals like these contain the innate metal element.
It is the perfect auxiliary material for the second tempering of the Evil King Blade, which is usually hard to find even if it costs a fortune.
"Fellow Daoist, you have a good opportunity."
Ye Yang looked up at the burly man and saw that his knuckles were covered with calluses.
The fact that the clothes still had unwashed mineral dust on them showed that this black iron was hard-won.
"This black gold iron is indeed precious, and I happen to need it."
"I happen to have one of the life-saving pills you need."
The next moment, Ye Yang patted his storage bag and took out a translucent white jade bottle.
The moment the stopper was opened, a refreshing fragrance of cinnamon immediately wafted out like sweet rain.
next moment.
A perfectly round pill was already suspended at the mouth of the bottle.
Seven colorful halos surrounded Dan's body, and the surrounding area was filled with crystal-clear water light.
It was refined by Ye Yang using the water veins of Qiandao Lake. It is called "Nine-Turn Jade Soul Pill".
"This pill is refined using water techniques. It can restore a cultivator's life force before their primordial spirit dissipates. Even if a cultivator at the primordial spirit realm suffers severe injuries, it can keep them on their last breath."
Ye Yang handed over the jade bottle, his gaze falling on the burly man's rough hands.
"If your son wears this pill, even in the face of danger, he will have a chance of survival."
The burly man's hands, which were holding the jade bottle, trembled violently. Suddenly, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed heavily to Ye Yang.
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor! I am willing to make the exchange."
Ye Yang nodded, gave the Nine-Turn Jade Soul Pill to the other party, and kept the Black Gold Profound Iron for himself.
"Friend Ye, what a generous gesture!"
Just at this time.
Li Cang, who was standing to the side, spoke up, his voice tinged with surprise as he leaned closer.
His eyes were fixed on the Nine-Turn Jade Soul Pill he had just seen.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye still has any of these life-saving items in stock."
"My Blood Blade Sect happens to possess a seed of the 'Wind and Thunder Treasure Apricot,' which contains the spiritual energy of wind and thunder accumulated over a hundred years of the tree's growth. I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, would be interested in exchanging it?"
After saying that.
He took out a crystal box. Ye Yang glanced at it and found that the seeds inside were entirely blue, with fine electric sparks wrapped around their surface.
Occasionally, a tiny arc of lightning would flash by, leaving fine scorch marks on the inner wall of the box.
Ye Yang's pupils contracted slightly.
This Wind and Thunder Apricot is quite famous, as it is a rare ancient spiritual root.
Its fruit can help people gain enlightenment about the power of wind and thunder, and it is especially useful for his newly refined Wind and Thunder Sword Wings.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out another jade bottle from his storage bag.
"Would you be willing to exchange a Nine-Turn Jade Soul Pill for this seed, fellow Daoist?"
Li Cang's eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed the box over.
"Deal! With this pill, the survival rate of our Blood Blade Sect's Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can be increased by at least 30%!"
At this moment, Ye Yang's transaction has also attracted the interest of many people.
Some people also come with precious materials, seeking elixirs.
However, the Nine-Turn Jade Soul Pill is not easy to refine.
Ye Yang didn't have many of them, and some he needed to keep for the Flying Heaven Sect's expedition to the Demon Realm.
Therefore, no exchange took place.
After saying a few apologies.
Ye Yang bid farewell to Li Cang and the others, and continued walking through the barter fair with the flow of people.
The deeper one goes into the stalls in the square, the stronger the spiritual light becomes. Occasionally, the treasures offered by cultivators even cause ripples in the space.
After all, those who were able to come to the Demon Suppression City this time were all highly skilled cultivators.
Even if they weren't these senior experts, those who would follow would mostly be disciples of long-established sects or rogue cultivators who had encountered extraordinary opportunities.
The objects displayed were naturally extraordinary.
Ye Yang turned around a stall covered with animal bones, and a faint smell of blood entered his nostrils.
He looked up and saw a fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged cultivator sitting behind a blue stone platform in front of him.
On the platform sat a three-legged cauldron, half-filled with a dark red liquid. Tiny golden specks floated on the surface of the liquid, and faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls could be heard.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look!"
Upon seeing Ye Yang stop, the middle-aged cultivator immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
"This is the 'Blood of True Spirit,' which I obtained last year when I slew a snow dragon in the far north. It contains a dragon's aura and is far more effective than ordinary spiritual materials when used to temper magical artifacts or aid in breakthroughs!"
Ye Yang twitched his fingertips slightly, and a wisp of his divine sense probed into the cauldron.
After examining the area, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Indeed, the blood of this snow dragon contains considerable spiritual power, and the golden light spots do indeed carry a trace of true spiritual energy.
However, it is far from being an ancient spirit.
He knew in his heart that this was nothing more than the blood of a demon beast with a thin layer of true spiritual blood.
Although it is considered precious, it is far from being something that middle-aged cultivators would boast about.
"It's really good stuff."
Ye Yang nodded noncommittally, but didn't take it seriously.
This kind of thin bloodline with true spiritual inheritance is not bad.
However, for him now, the effect is not obvious.
With a shift in his gaze, Ye Yang focused his attention on a jade box next to the cauldron.
Inside the box lay a fruit the size of a fist, its entire body red and its skin covered with fine lines, faintly shimmering with light.
A gentle yet powerful vitality emanated from it.
It even made the surrounding air feel a bit fresher.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist has good taste!"
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly pushed the jade box forward.
"This is the 'Longevity Fruit,' which comes from the Longevity Tree of my sect."
"Pick the fruit when it is fully ripe, and it can add decades to your lifespan."
Ye Yang's heart stirred.
The Longevity Tree is already a legendary object; it is said that there are fewer than five Longevity Trees remaining in the entire cultivation world.
Moreover, most of them have withered, and the fruits they produce are extremely rare.
Although a lifespan of several decades is nothing compared to that of many Nascent Soul Dao Realm cultivators.
However, for many cultivators whose lifespans are nearing their end, it remains a rare treasure.
"You actually possess a Tree of Longevity?"
Ye Yang's gaze toward the middle-aged cultivator became more solemn.
"As far as I know, such spiritual roots are almost extinct."
The middle-aged cultivator's face showed a smug look, but also a hint of regret.
"To be honest, my sect is a reclusive sect, and the longevity tree in our sect is almost withered. This fruit is the last one to grow in the last ten years."
"If it weren't for the need to prepare sufficient resources for this land reclamation, I would never have put them up for trade."
He paused, his tone becoming serious.
"This fruit is of extraordinary value; I would not exchange it for ordinary spiritual materials."
Ye Yang suddenly remembered Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan had been in the Dharma Aspect Realm for many years, and his lifespan was already running out. If he could obtain this fruit, he would have more confidence to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
He pondered for a moment, then took out a dark jade bottle from his storage bag.
The bottle was covered with talismans for warding off evil, and faint black lightning could be seen moving inside.
"Fellow Daoist, take a look at this."
Ye Yang placed the jade bottle on the table.
"This is the residual true spirit blood of a three-headed phoenix. How about exchanging it for your Longevity Fruit?"
As soon as the jade bottle was set down, the middle-aged cultivator's pupils suddenly contracted.
He could clearly feel a terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of his Snow Dragon Essence Blood, surging from the bottle.
The oppressive aura was domineering and overwhelming, carrying the aura of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.
It made him involuntarily hold his breath.
"Three...three phoenixes?!"
The middle-aged cultivator's voice trembled slightly as he hurriedly reached for the jade bottle, but Ye Yang stopped him.
"This blood is the original essence of the Phoenix True Spirit descendant. Those three phoenixes have already reached the Refinement of Emptiness realm."
"A single drop of this true spirit's blood can cleanse a cultivator's marrow and meridians."
Ye Yang said calmly.
"Using it to exchange for your Longevity Fruit, fellow Daoist shouldn't be considered a loss." (End of Chapter)
