Chapter 1375
This chapter concludes with substantial gains.
"Azure Abyss Lotus Seeds!"
"It's actually the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed! Although its grade is not as high as the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, it is still a top-grade immortal treasure. For us, it is even more practical than the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo!"
"Yes, the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo is indeed extraordinary, but we simply can't afford it. We still have a chance to bid on the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed!"
A murmur arose again from the crowd, and many cultivators' eyes flashed with anticipation as they prepared to bid.
For the vast majority of cultivators, the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is the true treasure they can covet.
Ye Yang sat there, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, his resentment gradually replaced by anticipation.
Although the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is slightly inferior in grade to the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, it is still a top-grade immortal treasure that can help the sect's cultivators break through the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.
For the Flying Heaven Sect, this was still a timely help.
He secretly made up his mind that no matter the cost, he would win the Qingyuan Lotus Seed.
"Azure Abyss Lotus Seeds, starting price 50,000 Immortal Stones, each bid must be at least 1,000 Immortal Stones. Now, the auction begins!" As Ri Ji's voice faded, the bidding officially commenced.
"Five thousand fairy stones!"
"Eight Thousand Immortal Stones!"
"Ten thousand fairy stones!"
The cultivators in the arena started bidding, and the price climbed all the way up, quickly reaching 15,000 immortal stones.
At this point, many cultivators were no longer able to raise the price and gave up bidding.
Only a few cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm remained, continuing their struggle.
"Twenty thousand immortal stones!"
A cultivator at the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm raised the price, his tone tinged with urgency.
"Twenty-five thousand immortal stones!"
Another cultivator at the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, not to be outdone, directly raised the price by five thousand immortal stones.
Flying Heaven Sect Master: The Immortal Path Contest - Chapter 1: Lotus Seeds in Hand, Quietly Returning to the Mountain
"Twenty-five thousand immortal stones!"
As the bidding subsided, all the cultivators' eyes instantly focused on the cultivator at the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, their expressions varying.
Some people looked amazed, marveling at his immense wealth; others looked regretful, knowing they were powerless to compete and could only give up in disappointment.
After all, 25,000 immortal stones represent most of the savings of cultivators in the early stages of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. If they continue to bid higher, they will be unable to afford any more treasures they desire in the future.
Ye Yang remained seated, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of his chair. His expression remained calm, though a hint of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.
He had a total of 40,000 immortal stones in his possession, originally intending to gamble everything to seize the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo. Now that the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo had fallen into the hands of the Crimson Dragon Prince, his target had been completely set on the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed.
Twenty-five thousand immortal stones were still within his means, but he also knew that obtaining this lotus seed would not be so easy.
Sure enough, before the cultivator's words had faded, another calm voice rang out, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Twenty-six thousand fairy stones!"
The speaker was an elderly man dressed in a blue Taoist robe. He had a thin face and was surrounded by a faint aura of water. He was obviously a cultivator who mainly practiced water-attribute techniques. The Azure Abyss Lotus Seed was tailor-made for him.
His gaze was fixed intently on the pale blue lotus seeds on the high platform, his eyes filled with a look of unwavering determination.
If he could use the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed to forge the Azure Abyss Dao Body, his chances of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm would greatly increase.
"Twenty-seven thousand immortal stones!"
The cultivator who had previously raised the price was not to be outdone, and gritted his teeth to raise the price again, his tone tinged with urgency.
He also specializes in water-attribute cultivation techniques, so naturally he was unwilling to watch the opportunity slip away, even if it meant paying more immortal stones.
The two bid against each other, and the bidding became fierce again. The price of the Azure Abyss Lotus Seeds rose all the way up and soon broke through the 30,000 Immortal Stone mark.
"Thirty thousand fairy stones!"
The old man in the blue Taoist robe frowned and immediately raised the price by two thousand immortal stones, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
“Fellow Daoist, always leave room for maneuver. This Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is extremely compatible with me. I beg you to be lenient and I will surely repay you handsomely in the future.”
The cultivator at the early stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm hesitated. He had very few immortal stones left, and if he raised the price again, he would truly be out of money.
He glanced at the Azure Lotus Seed on the high platform, then at the old man in the blue Taoist robe, his eyes filled with resentment. In the end, he shook his head, slowly sat down, and gave up the bidding.
The entire hall fell silent once again, all eyes fixed on the old man in the blue Taoist robe. Some were envious, some felt sorry for him, and others were silently observing to see if anyone would dare to raise the price further.
"Thirty thousand immortal stones, is there any fellow cultivator willing to raise the bid?"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Thirty thousand immortal stones is already the entire savings of many cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. Even if someone is tempted, they are unable to afford it.
Just as Ji was about to announce that the Azure Lotus Seeds belonged to the old man in the blue robe.
A calm voice slowly spoke. "Thirty thousand immortal stones."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person slowly stand up. His expression was calm, and his aura was restrained, but he still had a masculine and handsome air about him.
The old man in the blue Taoist robe frowned.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know what 30,000 immortal stones mean? Are you perhaps deliberately making fun of me?"
Ye Yang smiled faintly, without saying anything unnecessary. He simply raised his hand and waved it, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and the storage bag floated in front of him.
Thirty thousand crystal-clear immortal stones slowly emerged, radiating a rich aura of immortal energy, instantly illuminating the entire corner.
"Since I dare to make a bid, I naturally have enough immortal stones."
"If you are willing to continue raising the price, I will accompany you to the end; if not, then this Azure Abyss Lotus Seed will have to belong to me."
The old man in the blue Taoist robe looked at the 30,000 immortal stones, his face turning pale and then red, his eyes filled with resentment.
He had less than 30,000 immortal stones left, and forcibly raising the price would only result in more losses than gains.
He stared intently at Ye Yang, then glanced at Qingyuan Lianzi on the high platform. Finally, he gritted his teeth, slowly sat down, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hime's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly.
"Thirty thousand immortal stones, no one bid higher. This Azure Abyss Lotus Seed belongs to Fellow Daoist Ye Yang. Please go to the backstage area later to settle the account and collect your auction item."
Ye Yang nodded slightly, put away the storage bag, and walked towards the backstage area.
Backstage, Chi Longzi and Xieyang Daoren opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes sweeping over Ye Yang's back, a hint of disdain flashing in their eyes.
In their eyes, Ye Yang was just lucky to have obtained some immortal stones, and he was not worthy of being compared to them at all.
Backstage, Ye Yang successfully settled the immortal stones and accepted the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed.
It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a rich aura of the law of water instantly surged into his body, making his Dao power circulate more smoothly.
He carefully put the Qingyuan Lotus Seed into his storage ring, feeling both a sense of relief and a touch of regret.
Although they failed to obtain the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo, they at least received the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, which made up for the disappointment of this exchange event and prevented them from leaving empty-handed.
Unfortunately, the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed was ultimately only a high-grade immortal treasure, far inferior in quality to the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo. Although it could assist cultivators in breaking through the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, its effect was ultimately limited. Thinking of this, Ye Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of indebtedness.
But then he thought again that cultivation is going against the will of Heaven, and ultimately it depends on one's own efforts and understanding; external things are just aids.
Back when he was cultivating, let alone top-grade immortal treasures like the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, even ordinary spiritual materials were extremely scarce.
He has relied entirely on his own hard work, step by step, to reach his current level.
Now he can secure Azure Abyss Lotus Seeds and other rare and precious materials for the sect's disciples, which is far better than his cultivation path back then.
If the disciples cherish this opportunity and cultivate diligently, they may well be able to break through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.
Without the perseverance and talent to break through, even the best genius is useless.
Suppressing his thoughts, Ye Yang turned and walked out of the backstage area, returning to his seat.
At this moment, the barter fair was still ongoing, with one rare treasure after another appearing on the scene, and the bidding was still fierce, but Ye Yang's mindset had become much calmer.
They were no longer as eager as when they were vying for the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo.
His goal was clear: to use the remaining 10,000 immortal stones to purchase some rare and precious materials that would be useful to the Flying Heaven Sect, thus contributing to the sect's development.
Not long after, on the high platform, Princess Hijiri brought out a new item for auction.
This is a piece of ore that is completely black and emits a faint magnetic light. It is about the size of a fist and has an uneven surface.
Yet there was a subtle, powerful pull that made people want to get closer.
"This is Yuan Magnetic Ore, a top-grade spiritual material. It is the core raw material for refining Yuan Magnetic Dao Artifacts, which can be used to refine Yuan Magnetic Dao Artifacts that can interfere with the enemy's Dao power and seal the enemy's magic treasures."
"For cultivators at the Refinement Void Realm and above, this is an excellent material for refining weapons. The starting bid is five thousand immortal stones, and each bid must be at least five hundred immortal stones higher."
Hime's voice remained cool and detached as she slowly explained the effects of the auction items.
Magnetic Track Device!
Many cultivators present were tempted. The power of Yuan Magnetic was extremely domineering. If they could possess a Yuan Magnetic Dao Artifact, they would have a great advantage in both combat and self-defense.
However, Yuan Magnetic Ore is extremely rare, and other auxiliary materials are needed to refine Yuan Magnetic Dao Artifacts, so there are not many cultivators bidding for it.
A glint of light flashed in Ye Yang's eyes as he secretly began to plan.
The Flying Heaven Sect is currently in a period of development, with more and more disciples, but it lacks enough high-level Dao artifacts. If it could refine a few Yuan Magnetic Dao artifacts...
Distributing them to the core disciples of the sect can greatly enhance the overall strength of the Flying Heaven Sect.
Moreover, the starting price for the Yuan magnetic ore was not high, which was just within his budget.
"Five thousand five hundred fairy stones!"
Ye Yang spoke first, his tone calm and without the slightest arrogance.
The cultivators present all glanced at Ye Yang, and some recognized him as the young man who had just won the bid for the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, which surprised them.
Unexpectedly, he still had extra immortal stones to bid.
However, the audience for Yuan Magnetic Ore is relatively narrow. Many cultivators are interested in it, but they do not have enough refining skills.
There were no supporting materials available, so no one bid against it.
Hime's gaze swept across the room, and seeing that no one was bidding higher, she announced.
"Five thousand five hundred immortal stones and the Yuan magnetic ore belong to Fellow Daoist Ye Yang."
Ye Yang nodded slightly, signaling the cultivators behind the scenes to bring the Yuan Magnetic Ore to him, and then carefully put it into his storage ring.
After acquiring the Yuan Magnetic Ore, Ye Yang did not stop there. He continued to keep an eye on the items up for auction. As long as they were useful to the Flying Heaven Sect, he would not hesitate to make a move.
Immediately afterwards, a bottle of Ren Shui Xian Sui appeared on the stage.
It is pure white and exudes a rich aura of water, making it an excellent treasure for refining water-attribute pills and cultivating water-attribute spiritual materials. The starting bid is six thousand immortal stones.
Without hesitation, Ye Yang raised the bid to seven thousand immortal stones and successfully won the bid.
Huo Bingshuang specializes in water-attribute cultivation techniques, and this Renshui Immortal Marrow can not only assist her in cultivation.
It also allows her to refine higher-level water-attribute pills, which would be of great use to the Flying Heaven Sect.
Subsequently, the raw materials for the Ice Soul Dao Artifact and Purple Flame Immortal Copper also made their appearance.
The raw materials for Ice Soul Dao Artifacts are the core materials for refining ice-attribute Dao Artifacts, and are suitable for disciples who specialize in ice-attribute cultivation techniques.
Purple Flame Immortal Copper is a top-grade spiritual material for refining fire-attribute Dao artifacts. It is hard in texture and contains rich flame power. It can be used to refine natal Dao artifacts or the sect's protective array.
With his substantial wealth, Ye Yang won the bids for the two spiritual materials at prices of 6,500 and 8,000 immortal stones respectively.
At this moment, Ye Yang had very few immortal stones left, but he did not stop and continued to pay attention to the items being auctioned on the stage.
Before long, a bright red celestial fruit, radiating a rich vitality, slowly appeared on the high platform.
The immortal fruit was about the size of a fist, with a spiritual light flowing across its surface, and it faintly exuded a power of creation.
One breath of it makes one feel refreshed and invigorated, and one's spirit becomes more concentrated.
"This is a divine fruit of creation, a top-grade celestial treasure, containing abundant power of creation, which can nourish the primordial spirit and repair the foundation of one's cultivation."
"Whether a cultivator is seriously injured or suffers damage to their primordial spirit, consuming this fruit can lead to a rapid recovery and may even enhance their comprehension. It is an excellent treasure for cultivators of any realm."
"The starting price is 8,000 immortal stones, and each bid must be at least 500 immortal stones higher."
Riji's tone became more serious, clearly indicating that the value of this Creation Immortal Fruit was no less than that of the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed.
The Immortal Fruit of Creation! The entire audience of cultivators instantly erupted in excitement. Many of them had a burning desire in their eyes as they rubbed their hands together, ready to bid.
For cultivators, the Dao Foundation and the Primordial Spirit are fundamental. If the Dao Foundation is damaged or the Primordial Spirit is injured, their cultivation level may plummet, or they may even become completely useless.
The Creation Immortal Fruit is an excellent treasure for repairing the Dao foundation and nourishing the primordial spirit; it is worth any price to pay.
A hint of attraction flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
"Eight thousand five hundred fairy stones!"
"Nine thousand immortal stones!"
Bidding was in full swing, and the price of the Creation Fruit soared, quickly reaching 9,500 immortal stones.
At this point, many cultivators were no longer able to raise the price and gave up, leaving only Ye Yang and a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm to continue the bidding.
"Ten thousand fairy stones!"
The cultivator at the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm gritted his teeth and raised the price, his eyes filled with determination.
He had been in a fight recently, and his primordial spirit was damaged. He urgently needed the Creation Fruit to repair it, so he was naturally unwilling to give up easily.
Ye Yang's heart sank slightly. He only had a little over nine thousand immortal stones left. If he raised the price again, it would exceed his budget.
But he also knew that this Creation Fruit was far too important for the Flying Heaven Sect to miss. (End of Chapter)
