Terran Guardian - Chapter 3746

Chapter 3722 Physical Achievement

“Immortal stones are running low!”

After finishing another cultivation session, Shen Changqing shook his head, looking at the few remaining immortal stones.

For the first time,

he felt how much immortal stones cultivation consumed.

However,

looking at the many treasures in his storage ring, Shen Changqing felt relieved. He

didn’t have many immortal stones left,

but he had quite a few treasures.

After slaying many powerful figures, all sorts of miscellaneous items had piled up, which Shen Changqing usually didn’t have time to deal with.

Now he could sort them out and exchange them for other cultivation resources.

Even treasures that were useless to Shen Changqing himself were still quite valuable.

In this way,

the problem of not having enough immortal stones was solved.

“Fifty-three low-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts, at 10,000 high-grade immortal stones each, should fetch over 500,000 high-grade immortal stones!”

“Hmm… 100,000 jin of ninth-grade low-grade Celestial Divine Gold. Outside, it’s about one tael of high-grade immortal stone, so 100,000 jin should be worth about a million high-grade immortal stones.”

“This is Divine Radiance Meteorite Iron, a ninth-grade top-grade material. One tael costs fifty high-grade immortal stones, and here are 30,000 jin, worth another million high-grade immortal stones—”

Shen Changqing carefully checked his inventory. He discovered that his gains over the years had yielded quite a few valuable items.

Previously, he hadn’t bothered to look through them much, as many things were useless, so he simply ignored them.

But now, as he truly began to inventory, Shen Changqing realized he had underestimated the accumulation of these cultivators.

Items like Divine Radiance Meteorite Iron were sufficient to forge top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts, and even could play a role in forging innate Emperor weapons.

Shen Changqing only selected some treasures he recognized, but a rough calculation showed they amounted to approximately 600 million high-grade immortal stones.

This didn’t even include other treasures he didn’t recognize.

If all were included, Shen Changqing secretly estimated that it would easily exceed 1 billion high-grade immortal stones.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing went to the Tongtian Pavilion to sell everything at once.

The person responsible for receiving him was a manager at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level named Du Changshou.

“Fellow Daoist Shen has arrived again! What brings you here this time?”

Du Changshou’s face was beaming with smiles, his entire demeanor displaying great enthusiasm.

There was no way around it.

This was a truly major customer.

Over the years, he had spent hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones, so Du Changshou couldn’t afford to be indifferent.

Despite the numerous powerful figures in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, the reality was that only a very small number of cultivators could truly afford to consume so many high-grade immortal stones.

Furthermore,

the Tongtian Pavilion was spread throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,

and internal competition was fierce.

Du Changshou, having become one of the managers in Heavenly Dao Immortal City, naturally faced immense pressure.

Having more clients like Shen Changqing would undoubtedly bring him significant benefits.

Moreover,

Du Changshou was aware of Shen Changqing’s identity:

the master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!

The renowned Xuan Tian Sword Master of Shenfeng Prefecture!

Rumors circulated that his strength could be considered that of the number one Immortal Emperor.

Such a powerful figure, barring an unexpected demise, could easily break through to the Half-Saint realm, and even reaching the Saint realm was not impossible.

Cultivating a good relationship with him beforehand would be entirely advantageous.

Therefore,

from any perspective,

Du Changshou had to show Shen Changqing the utmost respect.

“Today, I happen to have a batch of treasures for sale. Manager Du, would it be better to sell them directly or auction them off?”

Shen Changqing didn’t mince words, flicking his finger, and a storage ring landed directly in front of Du Changshou.

Upon seeing this, the latter’s divine sense entered the ring.

A moment later…

Du Changshou’s expression changed, and he couldn’t help but gasp.

“Hiss… Divine Radiance Meteorite Iron, so many Emperor Immortal Artifacts… Fellow Daoist Shen, you have quite the generosity!”

As he spoke,

Du Changshou paused, then continued, “Emperor Immortal Artifacts are quite popular in the current Divine Sun Domain, and they are expected to fetch higher prices at auction.

Divine ore of the level of Divine Radiance Meteorite Iron is rare even in the outside world, and many Grandmasters of Weapon Forging need it.

Other divine ore materials of the same level are actually quite similar.

As for ordinary divine ores and spiritual herbs, auctioning them is not very meaningful. Tongtian Pavilion can directly purchase them, and as for the price, I can decide to give you the highest purchase price!”

Hearing what Du Changshou said, Shen Changqing secretly considered for a moment and then nodded.

“Alright, then let Steward Du handle it. Try to exchange all the immortal stones for ninth-grade heavenly treasures. I have my own uses for them!”

“No problem, but Fellow Daoist is selling quite a lot of things this time. If you sell them all, it will take at least three to five months.”

“Okay.”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Three to five months isn’t a long time.

It’s only because Tongtian Pavilion is so large and powerful that it can achieve this. If it were an ordinary merchant guild, even if the time required to acquire so many items were increased tenfold, it might not be possible.

For Shen Changqing, the difference between a slightly longer or shorter time isn’t significant.

But obtaining the corresponding rare and precious materials sooner is still a good thing.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing left Tongtian Pavilion.

A month passed quickly.

When Shen Changqing returned, Du Changshou had already handed him a jade slip and a storage ring.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, this is a list of all the rare and precious materials sold and acquired. The storage ring contains the remaining high-grade immortal stones and the corresponding rare and precious materials. Fellow Daoist, please check them and see if there are any problems.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing focused his divine sense on the jade slip, and the information recorded within appeared.

All items

were sold for a total of 710 million high-grade immortal stones.

This price…

The price was much higher than Shen Changqing had anticipated.

He had originally estimated that these items would fetch around 600 million high-grade immortal stones, maybe a few tens of millions more.

Unexpectedly,

they sold for a high price of 710 million.

However,

Tongtian Pavilion had also acquired approximately 130 million worth of rare and precious materials for Shen Changqing, leaving him with a surplus of 580 million high-grade immortal stones.

“Manager Du is very efficient; thank you very much!”

Shen Changqing was in high spirits.

With such a batch of immortal stones and cultivation resources, his breakthrough to the realm of physical sainthood would be much easier.

Du Changshou smiled and said, “How could I dare to neglect Fellow Daoist Shen’s needs? Please feel free to ask if you require anything in the future, and Tongtian Pavilion will do its utmost to assist you.”

“From now on, I’ll trouble Manager Du to keep an eye on these rare and precious materials, especially those at the semi-saint level; the more the better.

As for the price, try to settle with high-grade immortal stones, or even Emperor Immortal artifacts,”

Shen Changqing said.   Du Changshou nodded in agreement.

Afterwards   ,   Shen Changqing returned to the Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion with a batch of cultivation resources.   He took out 130 million high-grade immortal stones worth of rare and precious materials. With a thought, Shen Changqing conjured immortal fire, which instantly engulfed all the materials.   The flames soared, and   the terrifying temperature submerged everything.   The numerous materials were completely refined, turning into liquid and falling to the ground, reappearing as a pool of water.   Shen Changqing immersed himself in the pool, silently absorbing the power of these materials to temper his physical body and blood, striving towards physical sainthood.   Time slowly passed.   When the last bit of energy from the materials had been refined, Shen Changqing opened his eyes, his expression slightly changing.   ”Still not enough!”   He directly took out the Jade Marrow Ganoderma King, looked at the rare material, and swallowed it whole.   ”Boom!!!”   As the rare and precious herbs entered his stomach, an energy far more domineering than any rare and precious herb he had ever tasted before erupted from Shen Changqing’s body.   In an instant,   his blood and qi boiled.   If one were to look inward, one could see that the blood flowing around Shen Changqing’s body now contained boundless Daoist power, with impurities being removed from his body, making his blood and qi even more refined.   In that instant,   his physical body seemed to be in a furnace of heaven and earth, being roasted and refined by terrifying power, seemingly to temper and elevate his blood and qi to a whole new level.   However—   just at the crucial moment of transformation, the power of the Jade Marrow Mushroom King suddenly ran out.   Shen Changqing’s expression changed slightly, and without thinking, he moved his divine sense and directly took out all the ancient divine blood essence he had collected.   Although this ancient divine blood essence was only from a first-stage half-saint realm cultivator, the other party possessed innate bloodline, and the power of such essence blood essence was incomparable to that of ordinary half-saint essence blood essence.   As the essence blood of the ancient gods fell, it was like adding fuel to a furnace, instantly making the dimming fire burn brighter.   ”Boom—!!!”   Shen Changqing’s skin instantly turned red, and Daoist runes appeared around his body. Under the impact of the powerful force, the phantom of his black battle armor could be seen faintly.   How much time had passed was unknown.   A heavy, abyss-like aura erupted from Shen Changqing, instantly sweeping across the entire Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion. The various restrictions of the Immortal Mansion trembled violently, and even in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, many ancient powerhouses were alarmed by this aura.   ”This blood and qi power… could someone have achieved physical sainthood?!”   ”Hiss, how many years has it been? I didn’t expect another powerhouse to achieve physical sainthood!”   ”Who is it that can reach this point—”   The aura of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City was ancient and abyss-like. Even a half-saint would have their divine sense affected if they stepped into this place. Although they could sense this aura, it was not so easy to accurately locate it.   In an instant,   the entire Heavenly Dao Immortal City was abuzz with undercurrents.   Physical ascension to sainthood!   This was no small matter.   After all,   in terms of difficulty, achieving this was far more challenging than directly breaking through to the Half-Saint realm.   Especially in this era, how could anyone not be awestruck by a powerful figure stepping into the realm of physical ascension to sainthood?
