Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1982 Exchange Meeting (Part 4)
The appearance of the Heavenly Jade Flower Pill once again caused a stir among the audience.

"I've heard that Dao Kui is a master of alchemy, and he truly lives up to his reputation!"

"Didn't you see the crimson clouds that lingered over Mount Jiuzang in the Bamboo Nether Sea all those years? I even made a special trip from another realm to Qingming to see them back then!"

"Yes, yes, I've been there too. It was the first time I'd ever seen such a thick layer of red clouds that lasted for so long. It was truly breathtaking!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm a bit ignorant. This is the first time I've ever seen a real Heaven-Rank pill! I've heard that the medicinal power of a high-rank pill is several times that of an ordinary pill, so wouldn't a Heaven-Rank pill be dozens of times more potent?"

"Fellow Daoist, the medicinal power is merely the least valuable aspect of a Heaven-Rank pill. What is most precious is that subtle opportunity to break through the shackles, something that countless people yearn for but cannot obtain."

The speaker stroked his beard and sighed: "The most painful thing for a cultivator is to be stuck at a certain realm, wasting a hundred years, until the lamp burns out and the oil runs out, without making any progress."

Heavenly-grade pills, however, can use their immense medicinal power as a catalyst to resonate with the heavens and earth, breaking through the invisible barrier of cultivation realm.

The discussions surged like a tide in the main hall; Liu Qinghuan didn't need to elaborate on the value of the Heavenly Rank Pill.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, what would you like to exchange this time?" someone asked hurriedly.

"A defensive magic weapon from a sect, or a spirit jade, will do." Liu Qinghuan didn't have many requirements this time: "If you also have a spirit well, you can exchange for it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone stood up and shouted, "Five hundred Immortal Jade, I want this Qionghua Pill!"

"Six hundred!" Immediately afterward, another voice rang out: "I'll offer six hundred Immortal Jade."

Among the crowd, a cultivator dressed in a dark Daoist robe cupped his hands and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, I have a 'Sword Testing Platform' in my possession, which is an ancient secret realm that can be used for disciples of the sect to conduct trials."

Within this secret realm, the laws of heaven and earth are self-contained; demonic beasts and illusions can be controlled at will, and it can withstand the full force of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How about exchanging this secret realm for your Heavenly Rank Jade Flower Pill?

Bidding and exchanging sounds rose and fell, turning what was originally an orderly exchange into a heated one because of this one pill.

Liu Qinghuan's expression remained unchanged, but she slowly began to formulate a plan in her mind.

In reality, the value of elixirs cannot be compared with that of magic treasures of the same level. After all, elixirs are gone once consumed, while magic treasures can be passed down from generation to generation.

But this doesn't stop pills from becoming even more sought after, especially top-grade pills, which are extremely rare and available to everyone.

In an instant, many people took out their items, hoping to exchange them for this Heavenly Rank Qionghua Pill.

Liu Qinghuan looked at them one by one, and to be honest, they were all okay, but after considering everything, she finally settled on the sword-testing platform in the hands of the black-robed cultivator.

The sword-testing platform transformed into a stream of light and landed in his palm. It was no bigger than a palm, entirely bluish-black, with intricate array patterns engraved on it, and faint sounds of swords echoing from it.

For the thriving Wen Shi Sect, there is a need to cultivate more disciples and continue to expand the sect, so the value of this item far surpasses that of Immortal Jade and ordinary magic treasures.

Liu Qinghuan raised his hand and waved, sending the Heavenly Rank Qionghua Pill flying towards the black-robed cultivator, while the Sword Testing Platform landed steadily in his sleeve.

The audience below the stage felt regretful but helpless as the dust settled.

Without saying a word, Liu Qinghuan picked up the third box and opened it amidst everyone's expectant gaze.

Two daggers, with their simple and unadorned design and emerald green color, lay quietly in the box.

The dagger was entirely emerald green, as if carved from deep-sea jade. Its blade was as thin as a cicada's wing and gleamed with a chilling light. Even from a great distance, everyone could feel a bone-chilling coldness.

Liu Qinghuan picked up one of them, her fingertips tracing the patterns on the hilt, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

He had snatched these daggers from the hands of the immortal Xing Nie.

When Xing Nie was driven to the brink of despair, he used these two daggers to fight to the death.

At first, he thought it was just an ordinary treasure, but after a closer inspection, he discovered that it was quite extraordinary that a rogue immortal would use it as a last resort for self-defense. "The Azure Sea Silk Twin Daggers are water-attribute chaotic treasures, made from the spine of the Azure Sea Mystic Beast of the deep sea, and refined with various spiritual ingredients."

The blade is coated with the deadly poison of the Azure Sea Beast, which penetrates to the bone marrow upon contact, temporarily paralyzing the victim and rendering them unable to move.

Even more remarkably, its blade contains spatial laws, capable of cutting through the void, making it a deadly weapon for surprise attacks.

He paused, then added, "Strictly speaking, these daggers are only of the Chaos Treasure grade, but due to their special material and the presence of spatial laws, their actual power is by no means inferior to an ordinary Primordial Treasure."

If he didn't already have the Xuanyuan Sword and the Wei Su Sword, and not lack close-combat weapons, he wouldn't have been willing to take out these two daggers.

"The exchange conditions remain unchanged."

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of fierce bidding ensued.

The cultivator surnamed Qu tried to exchange with him again, but Liu Qinghuan refused.

How could a single immortal well compare to two daggers? In the end, the obsession of the cultivator surnamed Qu will likely only amount to nothing.

The magical artifacts that others brought out did not particularly satisfy him either.

Finally, Liu Qinghuan exchanged the Cangming Yousi Twin Daggers for three thousand five hundred pieces of Immortal Spirit Jade.

As he stepped off the stage and returned to his seat, Li Shan turned his head and whispered, "Brother Liu, do you still have any medicine fields and Heaven-Rank pills?"

"You want one too?" Liu Qinghuan asked, slightly surprised. "Then why didn't you take a picture just now?"

Li Shan said dejectedly, "Didn't you not like the magic weapon I took out?"

Liu Qinghuan glanced at the spirit sword in his hand: Okay, I really don't like it.

"The herb field is gone, but I can grit my teeth and squeeze out one more pill." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't bring out any ordinary magic treasures!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shan immediately beamed with joy.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "How about this, don't you need the Immortal Spirit Well? I'll send you one later!"

"Sure!" Liu Qinghuan agreed without hesitation. "Then I'll take advantage of you this time, thank you!"

The exchange will continue.

One treasure after another was placed on the stage, attracting everyone's attention.

But for Liu Qinghuan, ordinary treasures were no longer of interest, and no one was willing to offer any Primordial-level magic weapons.

The exchange has been going on for so long, yet not a single ancient magic weapon has appeared. This shows just how rare ancient magic weapons are, and how cunning and shrewd everyone present is.

They really don't want to take out their treasures!
In the end, only Taiqing, Daoxuan, and a few others remained who had not yet gone on stage.

Just then, a black figure suddenly stood up from his seat.

The man was dressed in a black Taoist robe, his face seemed to be covered by a layer of black mist, and he exuded a strong aura of loneliness and coldness. Wherever he passed, even the air seemed to freeze. He was none other than Xuan Yin Shangren, the leader of the Nine Nether Immortal Alliance.

Since the start of the exchange, Master Xuan Yin had remained silent, sitting alone in a corner, neither participating in the bidding nor exchanging treasures with anyone, as if he were merely an detached spectator.

He suddenly stood up, instantly silencing the entire hall.

Liu Qinghuan's spirits lifted, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

I wonder what treasure this person will bring out?
