Terran Guardian - Chapter 3756

Chapter 3732 Ninth-Order Immortal Spring

There were quite a few items up for auction this time.

After more than a dozen items, even the worst ones were top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts.

Watching the treasures appear one by one, Shen Changqing felt little emotion.

To him,

top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts were insignificant.

Among the many items, apart from the eighth-order, sixth-grade Grandmaster’s inheritance, only a few things truly moved him.

These

naturally did not include top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts.

“Innate Emperor Weapon!”

Shen Changqing looked at the twenty-third item that appeared, a celestial tower at the Innate Emperor Weapon level, and the first treasure among the many items to be auctioned with a price in top-grade immortal stones.

Compared to the millions, even tens of millions, of high-grade immortal stones that were being bid on

, the bidding for this Innate Emperor Weapon seemed much more moderate.

Starting price!

Ten top-grade immortal stones!

Although some cultivators kept raising the price, the increases were not large, ranging from one or two top-grade immortal stones to a dozen or twenty.

Even so, the price of this Innate Emperor Weapon quickly broke through the three-figure mark.

Ultimately,

the transaction price of this Immortal Tower was fixed at 236 top-grade immortal stones.

This transaction price gave Shen Changqing a direct understanding of the value of Innate Emperor Weapons.

A Grade One Innate Emperor Weapon sold for 236 top-grade immortal stones.

This also indirectly illustrates the preciousness of top-grade immortal stones.

He thought of the Longevity Immortal Mine in the Chaotic Void Sea.

If nothing unexpected happened,

the reserves of top-grade immortal stones in that Longevity Immortal Mine would be at least in the seven-figure, or even eight-figure range.

If all of them were exchanged for Grade One Innate Emperor Weapons, they would be worth at least tens of thousands.

This also indirectly explains

why the six major forces wanted to divide up that Longevity Immortal Mine and dared not let the news leak out.

At the same time,

it’s no wonder that the Grade Six Innate Emperor Weapon that appeared in the Heavenly Forging Palace attracted various forces to compete for it.

Judging from the preciousness of a Grade Six Innate Emperor Weapon, its value would be at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of top-grade immortal stones.

Thinking of this…

Shen Changqing turned his attention back to himself.

So far,

he possessed quite a few innate imperial weapons:

a seventh-grade Bagua Ziyang Furnace,

a second-grade Zhanye Immortal Sword, and

a first-grade Xuantian Emperor Bell.

Of course,

the latter was the face of the entire Xuantian Emperor Bell and could not be sold.

But even considering only the first two, he conservatively estimated it would be worth tens of thousands of top-grade immortal stones, or even more.

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing was speechless.

If you really calculated it that way, he didn’t seem so poor.

However,

the Bagua Ziyang Furnace couldn’t be used lightly.

This treasure carried the Daoist essence of a former top-tier alchemy grandmaster, and even with Shen Changqing’s current strength, he hadn’t truly comprehended much of that Daoist essence.

He had a premonition that only when he truly reached the level of an eighth-grade grandmaster could he perhaps truly comprehend the true essence of the Daoist essence within the Bagua Ziyang Furnace.

As for the Zhanye Immortal Sword, it was dispensable to him at the moment.

Undeniably…

As a second-grade innate imperial weapon, the Karma-Slaying Immortal Sword could indeed play a significant role in battles against other powerful individuals.

However—

with the Soul-Destroying Sword present,

the Karma-Slaying Immortal Sword’s effectiveness was greatly diminished.

A single second-grade innate imperial weapon was insufficient for Shen Changqing to defeat a third-tribulation half-saint.

If it were an ordinary second-tribulation half-saint, he could suppress them even without using the Karma-Slaying Immortal Sword.

As for fourth-tribulation and above half-saints, Shen Changqing could simply use the Soul-Destroying Sword to kill them directly.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing looked at Yun Su beside him.

“Contact the people from the Tongtian Pavilion for me!”

“Yes!”

Yun Su hurriedly replied.

Not long after

, a cultivator appeared.

“What are your orders, senior?”

“I have something I wish to bid on now, is that permissible?”

Shen Changqing asked.

The cultivator’s expression faltered slightly, then he respectfully replied, “Theoretically speaking, once the auction begins, it cannot be increased or decreased…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Changqing flipped his hand, and a crimson immortal sword appeared.

“This is… a Primordial Emperor Weapon!!”

The cultivator’s expression changed, then he took a deep breath and said solemnly.

“However, there are always exceptions. Adding an extra Primordial Emperor Weapon is no problem.

But I wonder what your requirements are for auctioning this Primordial Emperor Weapon?”

“Just follow your rules, but the sooner the better!”

Shen Changqing erased his own mark from the Zhan Ye Immortal Sword and handed it to the cultivator.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately accepted the treasure with both hands and respectfully withdrew.

In less than a moment, after the auction of the first-grade Primordial Emperor Weapon ended, two more items were auctioned, and Shen Changqing immediately saw the Zhan Ye Immortal Sword.

Starting bid: one hundred top-grade immortal stones!

Much stronger than the original first-grade Primordial Emperor Weapon.

As for the bidding, it was also significantly higher.

Clearly,

a second-grade Primordial Emperor Weapon was more popular than a first-grade Primordial Emperor Weapon.

“Five hundred top-grade immortal stones!”

Shen Changqing secretly took a deep breath, looking at the price that had been fixed there, and a smile appeared on his face.

Putting everything else aside,

five hundred top-grade immortal stones

was within his expectations.

After all,

the original first-grade innate imperial weapon could sell for over two hundred top-grade immortal stones, so it was normal for the Slaying Karma Immortal Sword to be sold for five hundred top-grade immortal stones.

In fact,

regarding its grade,

while the Zhan Ye Immortal Sword is a second-grade innate imperial weapon, it’s only considered mid-to-low level among treasures of this caliber.

After all, when Shen Changqing forged this treasure, he collaborated with the weapon-forging masters of the Heavenly Forging Palace.

Forging by multiple people is actually more perfect than forging by one person alone, if successful.

Everyone has their own ideas, and their methods vary in strength, making perfect fusion naturally difficult.

If the Heavenly Forging Palace had had a top-tier eighth-rank grandmaster involved in the forging, things would be different.

An eighth-rank grandmaster could compensate for the shortcomings of multiple forgings.

But the problem is, they didn’t.

The Zhan Ye Immortal Sword was forged by a group of seventh-rank grandmasters, and that’s the difference.

Therefore,

despite its title as a second-grade innate imperial weapon, its power is at most slightly stronger than a typical first-grade innate imperial weapon.

…

As the auction ended, in less than a quarter of an hour, someone handed all the immortal stones to Shen Changqing.

“Senior, this auction yielded 500 top-grade immortal stones. Our Tongtian Pavilion, as is customary, only charges half the price. There are 475 top-grade immortal stones remaining. Please count them!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing scanned the area with his divine sense, instantly knowing the quantity of all the immortal stones.

“No problem.”

“Alright, if you need anything, please send a message.

This junior will take his leave now!” The cultivator respectfully withdrew.

He didn’t know Shen Changqing’s identity, but the fact that the other party could bring out a second-grade innate imperial weapon for auction was enough to say a lot.

A powerful figure who possessed a second-grade innate imperial weapon and could auction it off was certainly not simple.

He naturally had to show such a powerful figure sufficient respect.

Shen Changqing waved his hand and then put away the more than 400 top-grade immortal stones.

Including this batch of top-grade immortal stones, he now possessed approximately 1,500 immortal stones.

This quantity was certainly insufficient to compete for a sixth-grade innate imperial weapon. However, it should be more than enough to secure an inheritance.   A sixth-grade innate imperial weapon was immediately usable, directly enhancing one’s combat power.

An inheritance, however, was different.   Obtaining   an inheritance didn’t guarantee instant entry into the ranks of eighth-tier, sixth-grade grandmasters. In   fact, even   breaking through to the eighth-tier grandmaster level was uncertain.   Having an inheritance was one thing, but ultimately, the breakthrough depended on one’s own aptitude and opportunities.   Therefore,   compared to supreme treasures, inheritances were often much cheaper.   Of course,   the term “cheaper” was relative.   Now that he had significantly increased his number of top-grade immortal stones, Shen Changqing felt much more confident.   …   Time passed slowly.   The auctions for each treasure concluded.   Yun Su was overwhelmed by the sheer number of items; none of them were within her reach.   Let alone her.   Even if they used all the resources of the Wusheng Dynasty, they probably wouldn’t be able to acquire even the least valuable item.   Therefore,   Yun Su could only look.   Shen Changqing looked at her and asked calmly, “Do you know how to brew tea?”   ”I know a little.”   ”Good, then I’ll leave it to you.”   With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Changqing produced a tea set that appeared to be carved from white jade.   Inside the teapot were several pale golden tea leaves. Each tea leaf was shrouded in celestial light and Daoist charm, revealing illusory images of Buddhas and even the evolution of star rivers. Just a glance at it shook Yun Su’s mind, as if she could gain some insight.   In that instant, Yun Su was shocked.   Although she couldn’t discern the grade of this celestial tea with her limited knowledge, it was clear from its appearance that it was a top-tier treasure.   If she could obtain it, it would be an incredible stroke of luck.   However—   this thought only flashed through Yun Su’s mind for a moment before she suppressed it.   Shen Changqing then took out another jade bottle: “This tea cannot be contaminated by ordinary water; it must be brewed with a ninth-grade immortal spring.”   ”Your Majesty, I obey!”   Yun Su bowed her head in agreement. A ninth-   grade immortal spring!   This was another treasure she could hardly attain.   The Wusheng Dynasty also possessed an immortal spring, but it was only a seventh-grade immortal spring, far inferior to a ninth-grade one.   Even so, that seventh-grade immortal spring was the foundation of the Wusheng Dynasty, and only the high-ranking members of the dynasty were qualified to enjoy it.   As one of the few ancient immortals in the Wusheng Dynasty, Yun Su naturally had access to a seventh-grade immortal spring.   If a mere seventh-grade immortal spring was so precious, the value of a ninth-grade immortal spring was unimaginable.   Immortal power boiled.   Immortal spring brewed.   A refreshing fragrance that could soothe the soul immediately spread.   Even a single whiff of that immortal tea’s spiritual aroma could give an ancient immortal the illusion of instant enlightenment.
