Terran Guardian - Chapter 3755

Chapter 3731 Supreme Emperor Essence Pill

“Senior, this jade slip contains all the information about the items in this auction. The other jade slip is used for bidding.

Senior only needs to inject your immortal power into it to activate its power.

All bidding for treasures can be done here!”

Yun Su explained patiently, clearly having already mastered these matters.

Shen Changqing looked at the two jade slips on the jade table, casually picked one up, and injected immortal power into it. Immediately, immortal light burst forth from the jade slip, and an image appeared.

However, the image was currently blank.

Then

, he picked up the other jade slip and injected immortal power in the same way.

Instantly,

projections of various treasures appeared.

The bidding order and reputation/rank of all the treasures were clearly listed.

Among them, Shen Changqing saw his own refined Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill, ranked third among the many auction items.

“Starting price: one thousand high-grade immortal stones!”

Seeing this starting price, he nodded slightly.

Ten pills per auction—this price isn’t high; it’s roughly the market price for a common-quality Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill of the same grade.

However, in such auctions, the starting price is just the beginning; the final price depends on how many people are willing to buy.

However,

Shen Changqing didn’t have high expectations for the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill auction.

After all,

what difference would a hundred-odd Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pills make, even if they sold for ten times the price?

A few hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones—not worth mentioning.

“Innate Emperor Weapon!”

“The Great Dao of Longevity—”

“The Tongtian Pavilion’s foundation is indeed extraordinary!”

Shen Changqing looked at the many auction items, the worst of which were low-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts; anything below that grade didn’t even qualify.

Although he knew the Tongtian Pavilion had a strong foundation, witnessing it firsthand still made him somewhat alarmed.

After all,

the Tongtian Pavilion in the Divine Sun Domain was just one of many branch pavilions.

The fact that an auction could gather so many treasures was enough to demonstrate the strength of such a power.

Yun Su, standing to the side, looked at the numerous treasures on the table, her face showing envy.

These things…

None of these things were within her reach.

Reaching the Ancient Immortal Realm in this star system meant becoming a top expert in one’s civilization.

But before true powerhouses, they were no different from ants.

Like now, with powerful figures from outside the realm present, they had to abandon their pride and accompany them, all in the hope of obtaining some opportunities from these powerful individuals to advance further.

Thinking of this,

Yun Su’s gaze towards Shen Changqing held a hint of resentment.

Unfortunately,

he wasn’t interested in women.

It would be difficult to obtain any opportunities from him later.

Even so, Yun Su dared not be negligent.

After all, to such beings, she was no different from an ant.

If she truly angered them, even if they killed her, the Tongtian Pavilion wouldn’t utter a word of dissent.

Yun Su had heard more than once that an Ancient Immortal from a star system had angered a powerful outsider, ultimately resulting in the complete slaughter of that star system’s civilization.

Now she no longer craved any special opportunities, only hoping that the person before her wasn’t a tyrannical and bloodthirsty individual; otherwise, this star would face annihilation.

Looking at Yun Su beside him, Shen Changqing asked calmly,

“You were born into this Star River Secret Realm, do you have any chance to leave?”

“Of course!”

Yun Su replied excitedly.

“If Senior wishes to take me out, just a word is enough. The Tongtian Pavilion will surely not refuse your request; this is the easiest way out.

Another option is to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. A guiding immortal light will appear within this Star River Secret Realm, allowing us to leave at that time.

However… how easy is it for us cultivators to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm!”

Yun Su finished with a bitter smile. Breaking through to the Immortal

Emperor Realm wasn’t easy.

She didn’t know about other places, but in the billions of years of this star’s existence, not a single Immortal Emperor had appeared.

The strongest were at the Ancient Immortal Realm.

To advance further was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing nodded slightly and then inquired about other matters concerning the Star River Secret Realm from Yun Su. She dared not conceal anything and answered all his questions.

The auction hadn’t started yet, and although the scenery in the Immortal Abode was beautiful, chatting with her was a way to pass the time.

According to Yun Su,

this Star River Secret Realm hadn’t existed for a very long time.

The star beneath their feet was called the Star of No Life, ruled by a force called the Dynasty of No Life.

She and several other ancient immortals were among the top experts of the Dynasty of No Life.

The entire Dynasty of No Life had over ten billion cultivators.   Cultivation was prevalent

here,   but very few could actually break through to the Immortal King Realm, or even enter the Ancient Immortal Realm.   From Yun Su’s words, Shen Changqing could basically confirm that this Star River Secret Realm originally existed in another Immortal Domain, and was later moved to the Divine Sun Domain.   After all, during the Great Calamity of Calamity, the entire Heavenly Dao Immortal City was reduced to ruins.   Even with the Tongtian Pavilion’s strong foundation, it was impossible to protect itself from the impact.   It wasn’t that Shen Changqing looked down on Tongtian Pavilion; it was simply that the calamity of the Demon Catastrophe had had a profound impact.   Even Supreme Beings perished.   The emergence of a great demon caused the entire Shenyang Domain to fall.   Of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, some were destroyed in the calamity, while others had to temporarily retreat from the Shenyang Domain to avoid its wrath.   To   say that Tongtian Pavilion was stronger than the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands wouldn’t be entirely accurate.   As top-tier forces in their respective Immortal Continents,   any one of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands was a force to be reckoned with in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. A power   like the Shenyang Immortal Court possessed even more astonishing resources.   Yet, even a powerful force like the Shenyang Immortal Court dared not confront that great demon head-on, let alone a branch of Tongtian Pavilion.

In fact,

most of the forces currently surviving in the Divine Sun Domain are those who decisively fled during the Great Calamity of Calamity.

Those who stayed to confront the Calamity head-on would inevitably face annihilation.

The two chatted idly,

and time passed slowly.

Not long after,

the blank image on a jade slip rippled slightly, revealing a celestial sword placed in a sword box, its corresponding information emanating as a mysterious divine thought.

Upon touching this divine thought, information about the celestial sword was instantly understood.

“Senior, the auction has begun. Cultivators are placing bids on this. If you wish to bid, please inform me, and I will bid on your behalf!”

Yun Su said at the opportune moment.

Shen Changqing nodded, watching the price of the low-grade Emperor Immortal artifact steadily rise, finally settling at 31,600 high-grade immortal stones.

This price was naturally a premium.

Ordinary low-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts normally cost around 10,000 to 20,000 high-grade immortal stones.

Breaking the 30,000 mark was extremely rare.

However, even with Shen Changqing’s discerning eye, he could tell that the forging technique of this low-grade Emperor Immortal artifact was quite remarkable. If it were sold elsewhere, it would be worth around 30,000 high-grade immortal stones.

There was a premium!   But not much

!

As soon as the first item was auctioned, the second item appeared.

This item was a top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill, also at the perfect level, with thirty pills in total, to be auctioned in three rounds. Watching the price steadily rise, Shen Changqing said, “10,000 high-grade immortal stones!”   Upon hearing this ,   Yun Su followed suit with a bid.   The other party held a token, entered the corresponding price, and at the same time, the corresponding price appeared on the auction screen.   This price paused for about three breaths before a new price appeared.   Seeing a cultivator bidding against her, Yun Su couldn’t help but look at Shen Changqing, who calmly said, “Increase the bid by 500 high-grade immortal stones each time; don’t bid above 20,000.”   ”I understand!”   Yun Su replied, immediately following suit with a bid.   The other party seemed determined to obtain this immortal pill as well.   The price steadily climbed.   16,000!   16,500!   Seventeen thousand!   …   At nineteen thousand, the price finally stopped.   Ten breaths later ,   a new round of auction began.   At the same time,   a cultivator from Tongtian Pavilion came forward and respectfully handed a jade bottle containing ten top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills to Shen Changqing.   Upon seeing this, the latter casually took out nineteen thousand high-grade immortal stones.   Thus,   the transaction was completed.   Shen Changqing picked up the jade bottle, took out one of the top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills, examined it carefully, and tried to comprehend the techniques and Daoist principles within.   ”As expected, the alchemy grandmaster who refined this top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill is definitely not just a seventh-rank expert!”   With Shen Changqing’s current level of expertise, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill in his hand.   As an alchemy grandmaster who had once refined perfect immortal pills, he could discern some clues from any trace of Daoist principles and techniques in the top-grade Emperor Yuan Pill before him.   The reason Shen Changqing bid for this pill was to use it to deduce the other party’s alchemy techniques in order to improve himself.   Otherwise…   With his current cultivation level, he wouldn’t even bother to glance at the top-grade Emperor Essence Pill.   After carefully putting away the pill, Shen Changqing casually tossed the jade bottle to Yun Su beside him.   ”This pill is a reward for you. However, this top-grade Emperor Essence Pill is for Immortal Emperors to cultivate with. As an Ancient Immortal, you must be careful when refining it.   Otherwise, the excessive potency will surely harm you.”   ”Thank you so much, Senior!”   Yun Su clutched the jade bottle tightly, as if it were a priceless treasure. Her gaze towards Shen Changqing was tender and gentle, as if she were melting.   A top-grade Emperor Essence Pill!   How could she not know?   But such a pill was incredibly expensive, far beyond the reach of a mere Ancient Immortal cultivator like herself.   She had thought that since he wouldn’t require her sacrifice, there was likely no chance of obtaining it this time. Unexpectedly, the surprise came so quickly.   It wasn’t that no one had ever bestowed gifts before, but how could the value of those treasures compare to the top-grade Emperor Essence Pill in her hand?   Shen Changqing remained oblivious to Yun Su’s submissive attitude.   His attention was entirely focused on the auction items.   Soon,   the remaining two rounds of bidding for the top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills concluded.   Similar to the first round, the winning bids for these two rounds were around 19,000 high-grade immortal stones.   This showed that the first round’s price served as a reference.   Next,   the third item up for auction was the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill refined by Shen Changqing.   The previous thirteen rounds had been ten pills per round, while the final round had six.   One hundred and thirty-six top-grade Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pills fetched a total of 103,000 high-grade immortal stones, slightly less than the top-grade Emperor Yuan Pills.
