I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2174 Fragments Appear Again
Chen Lin did not answer the old man in black's question directly.

He smiled faintly and said, "This information itself is worth a high-dimensional treasure. If you want to know more, you will need to add a bone sparrow feather."

"can."

To Chen Lin's surprise, the old man in black did not hesitate at all and took out another feather.

Seeing this, he couldn't refuse any longer.

He nodded and said, "I did obtain it personally. If you are interested in that scene, we can talk privately after the exchange meeting."

"Then it's settled."

The old man in black agreed and readily handed the two feathers to Chen Lin.

The feather was acquired.

Chen Lin immediately sensed a dense aura of death, exactly like his Death Gaze. He immediately tried it and found that the essence in the feather could be absorbed by the Death Gaze.

I was suddenly delighted.

Since the effects of the Heavenly Divine Water weakened, the Death Gaze has been stagnant.

This, which was once his strongest technique, has become useless. Only by upgrading it to the next level can it continue to be used.

"I need a Three-Eyebrow, Four-Eye Flower. Which fellow Daoist can produce this? You may make any request to me."

After the two finished their transaction, a burly man next to them spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Lin looked over curiously.

He had heard the name "Three-Eyebrows, Four-Eyed Flower" before. It was mentioned by a strange creature with bells on its ears at a gathering on the ferry of life, but he had never known its purpose.

None of them are recorded in Ning Tianyue's illustrated guide to spiritual plants.

It is estimated that it does not exist in the Seven Star Realm.

really.

After waiting for more than a dozen breaths, no one responded; instead, they all looked bewildered.

I waited a few more breaths.

The burly man looked disappointed, but reluctantly spoke again: "Anyone who can provide relevant information can exchange it for a top-tier treasure, or make a request that isn't too unreasonable."

Still, no one spoke up.

After waiting for a while, Liang Hu, the appraiser at the head of the table, had a flash in his eyes and asked, "Fellow Daoist, could you tell me the specific effects of this 'Three Eyebrows and Four Eyes Flower'? Perhaps someone has a substitute."

The burly man shook his head.

"Impossible. This flower has only one effect and I have never heard of any substitute for it."

"Then there's no way."

Liang Hu said disappointedly.

As an appraiser, when I hear about a treasure I don't know about, I naturally want to find out its function, but I can't force the other party to tell me if they are unwilling to.

Chen Lin didn't respond.

He needs to conceal his identity as much as possible now. If he is forced into a desperate situation, he may have to switch to the Red Ape form. He cannot reveal too much information.

The exchange will continue.

Everyone was a high-level cultivator, and they consciously followed the order, taking turns to make their requests.

Chen Lin sipped his wine while observing the scene.

However, none of the dozen or so treasures that appeared were usable by him.

This is also normal.

There are many cultivation systems in the outer space, and each system has different requirements for treasures. Especially when you reach the Eternal Realm, the resource barrier is particularly severe.

Not only him, but also others, very few were able to successfully make an exchange.

It went around in a circle.

When it was Chen Lin's turn, he said without hesitation, "I want to exchange for a high-dimensional treasure that can heal damage to the soul's origin, the higher the level the better, or a spatial law light at the Dominator level."

One of these two items can help the Blue Alien recover quickly, and the other can assist in casting the spatial jump technique.

Both could potentially help him out of his predicament.

But no one responded.

Chen Lin sighed inwardly.

The Seven Star Realm is no longer a higher-dimensional realm, and obtaining higher-dimensional treasures here is extremely difficult.

"It's my turn."

One person cannot occupy too much time; after a dozen or so breaths, the next person will take over.

Chen Lin had no choice but to sit down.

At the same time, he weighed the pros and cons in his mind, wondering whether he should exchange some Life Coins and Character Cards. He hadn't thought too much about it before, so he gave all the ones he had to Xiaohua, keeping only the Rat Card that he had obtained when he killed Yu Dahuang.

If you want to enter the quill pen scene now, you need to collect some more Life Coins. Without Life Coins, there is no way to make up for any unexpected events during the mission.

But after much deliberation, Chen Lin gave up the idea.

There are too many people around here, and if someone were to offer to buy his Life Coins, his ability to enter the Life Ferry would be exposed.

If the slave-catching team really wanted to deal with him, upon learning of this information, they would probably act immediately, regardless of whether they had confirmed their target, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

"I need a piece of iridescent crystal. Is there any fellow cultivator willing to part with it?"

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

I gathered my thoughts and looked at the person who had spoken.

She was a woman wearing a veil, but her face was only partially visible beneath the veil, and she didn't look particularly stunning.

Seeing no response, the woman continued, "If you don't have iridescent crystals, then dazzling liquid crystals will do. Whoever can produce one, I'm willing to unveil his face once."

Chen Lin was stunned.

What kind of compensation is this?
It's just lifting the veil, not a double cultivation session, so what benefits can one gain?

Even dual cultivation wouldn't hold much appeal for an Eternal Realm expert; beings at that level are unlikely to lack women.

"hehe."

Manager Qian, who was in the main seat, chuckled.

She began, "Some fellow Daoists may not know Fairy Shangguan. She is a member of the Thousand Faces Clan. Once her veil is lifted and her current appearance is seen, she can become the companion of that face."

"So you are a fairy from the Thousand-Faced Clan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After hearing Manager Qian's explanation, someone immediately realized what was going on and spoke up.

Others followed suit.

Everyone seemed eager, as if they would have gone up to exchange pleasantries if there hadn't been so many people.

Chen Lin was even more puzzled.

Having a thousand faces and a thousand appearances is not unusual. But once you reach the Eternal Realm, changing your appearance is effortless. You can become a companion with one of the same appearances as someone else, which sounds awkward no matter how you look at it.

Is this really something to be admired?

Shopkeeper Qian glanced at Chen Lin and said meaningfully, "Everyone knows about the Thousand Faces Clan, right? They are an ancient race in the Seven Star Realm. If you become their partner, you will not only receive the blessing of their talent ability and improve your own talent ability, but you will also gain the qualification to enter Thousand Faces Mountain once. The benefits are beyond words."

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

So that's why it has such benefits.

He nodded slightly to Manager Qian to express his gratitude.

The other party's subsequent explanation was clearly directed at him; he was probably the only one present who was unaware of the situation.

However, Chen Lin had no intention of making a deal.

He has the dazzling liquid crystal, but he also needs it himself.

Yue Yingxian resolved the invisible calamity and returned to Xingxu with her daughter. Although the other party promised to provide more colorful crystals, it was uncertain when that would be, and she would probably have to go to Xingxu to contact them.

Moreover, he didn't want to be a partner with only one type of woman's appearance.

He couldn't accept it himself, and people would laugh at him if he told others.

"Is no one willing to make the trade?"

The veiled woman's gaze swept over everyone one by one.

Finally, the question fell on Chen Lin. Chen Lin frowned.

The other party's actions suggested that they knew he possessed the variegated crystal, but since his belongings were stored in a high-dimensional storage artifact, it was impossible for them to sense it given their cultivation level.

Unless one possesses special supernatural powers.

The veiled woman didn't speak; she simply paused for a moment, then looked away and silently returned to her seat.

Chen Lin ignored it.

"I need Eternal Pills, the more the better, I'll trade them for Hundred Valley Orchid Grass."

The next monk spoke.

Before anyone else could speak, Manager Shi, who had been silent all along, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qiya, has your spiritual herbs been harvested again? I'll take as many as you have."

According to the rules, the organizer has priority in the transaction, and others can only watch helplessly even if they want it.

The man called Qiya nodded and began to bargain with Manager Shi. It took a full half-incense stick's time to reach an agreement on the price.

This is a big deal.

Manager Shi gave up 360 Eternal Pills in exchange for 1,000 spirit herbs. This single transaction alone would recoup many times the expenses incurred by the organization's trade fair.

But no one was envious.

Stopping such an unusual trading event is no easy feat. Although the number of participants is small, they are all eternal powerhouses, and it would be impossible to do so without connections.

Then many more treasures appeared.

Chen Lin got his turn several times, but no one responded to his requests, so he gradually lost interest.

"Everyone seems a bit uninterested, so I'll try to cheer you up."

Manager Qian sensed the somber atmosphere. He immediately took out a box covered in sealing talismans and placed it on the tea table in front of him with a smile.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

A young man in white joked, "Manager Qian, why didn't you bring out the good stuff earlier? You've made me almost fall asleep. But don't try to fool us with some cheap, mass-produced stuff, or I'll never buy anything from your shop again."

"Don't worry, none of my things are junk."

talking.

Shopkeeper Qian removed the talisman from the box, opened the lid, and saw a flash of red light before it shot away.

But immediately.

The box emitted a white light, which converged into a white chain, pulling the red light back.

Only then did everyone realize that the red light was a frog the size of a palm, exuding a strong eerie aura, with its two eyes bulging out and its expression ferocious and menacing.

"This is... a Nightmare Treasure?"

The old man in black who had exchanged bone sparrow feathers with Chen Lin spoke up in surprise.

Manager Qian nodded slightly.

“Fellow Daoist is right. This item is indeed a Nightmare Treasure, but it is not an ordinary Nightmare Treasure. It is a fragment of the Star Lord’s Star Toad and is connected to a peculiar Nightmare Realm space.”

"hiss!"

Everyone looked surprised.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

He didn't need the other party to introduce him; his Star Toad reacted as soon as the box was opened, even though it was placed in the storage space, it was still trembling.

Manager Qian was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

With a smile, he said, "Although it is only a fragment of the Star Toad, this one is different. It is the core part of the Star Toad. With this, and if we find other fragments, we might be able to reassemble the Star Toad."

At this time.

A man wearing a white crown stepped forward and took a look.

He sighed, "What a pity for such a treasure. Even if we find all the fragments and fuse them together, we still can't restore its former power. After all, the Star Emperor, who was the spirit of the artifact, has already fallen, and it's basically impossible for a new spirit to be reborn."

"Friend Yu is joking."

Manager Qian glanced at the other person.

He said calmly, "If the spirit of the artifact were still intact, it wouldn't be up to you and me to trade here. Moreover, even without the spirit, as long as the artifact's physical form is condensed, it can still possess the power of a Sovereign-level artifact."

"That's true. After all, it was once a top-tier treasure, so its power wouldn't be lacking."

The man in the crown realized he had misspoke, quickly corrected himself, and then sheepishly returned to his seat.

Someone immediately spoke up.

"Everyone knows Xingchan, so Manager Qian doesn't need to introduce him further. Just tell me how you want to trade."

Shopkeeper Qian put the frog back into the box.

He carefully affixed the talisman and said, "Fellow Daoists, you have overlooked one thing. This treasure is not only a fragment of the Star Toad, but also a medium to access the strange Nightmare Realm."

"The Nightmare Realm is within the Boundary River and is not of much use to us. Manager Qian specifically mentioned that this scene could be entered from outer space."

Questions were raised.

Manager Qian's expression turned serious.

"Fellow Daoist is right. The scene corresponding to this item can indeed be entered in the outer star field. Moreover, to enter this scene, you need three merit coins and a five-colored road pass."

"Oh?"

This explanation piqued everyone's interest.

Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.

The quill pen scene only requires one merit coin, but this scene requires not only three merit coins but also a colorful guide, which is truly extraordinary.

"Has Manager Qian ever entered this scene?"

He asked a tentative question.

"of course."

Manager Qian nodded in response.

"Not only did I go inside, but I also obtained a very peculiar treasure. I won't go into details, but I can tell you that the energy contained in that treasure is enough to withstand even the power of a ruler."

"However, the scenarios seem to be limited."

He continued, "Once you go in once, no matter what method you use, you can't go in a second time. You need to find someone else, but it's very dangerous inside. It's not something an ordinary person can come out of. The cost of going in each time is too high, so I don't want to stay."

A slight pause.

Let everyone digest the information I've shared.

Then he picked up the box, held it in his hand, and showed it to everyone, saying, "The situation has been explained clearly, there is absolutely no deception. This treasure is not for any specific exchange item, everyone can bid freely, and the highest bidder wins."

"How about a mid-grade Eternal Pill?"

Someone immediately offered a price.

Shopkeeper Qian shook his head. "Although a mid-grade Eternal Pill is quite valuable, it's not worth this treasure. A high-grade one would be more suitable."

"A piece of blue lotus stone from the earth's core."

Another person made an offer.

Manager Qian still did not agree.

"How about I trade you a small planet?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately looked over.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone using a planet as a bargaining chip.

The one who spoke was Fairy Shangguan. Because she was wearing a veil, her expression was not visible, but the fact that she could buy and sell planets indicated that the Thousand-Faced Clan was very powerful.

"what type is it?"

Manager Qian was somewhat tempted.

However, the value of planets fluctuates greatly; some are priceless, while others are completely useless, and some even pose a danger.

"This metallic planet is entirely composed of Crimson Cloud Gold mines. Although Crimson Cloud Gold is not very valuable, its quantity is enormous, enough to purchase your Star Toad fragment."

Shangguan Fairy's tone remained calm.

Manager Qian hesitated.

He then looked at the others and asked, "Is there anyone else bidding? If we miss out on such a treasure, we might miss the chance to advance further on our path."
