Chapter 972 Azure Creation Pill

After an incense stick has burned.

A boy named Jiang Xiaoyu drove his carriage with practiced ease and arrived at a building in the center of Tiansha City.

Above, a plaque bearing the name "Dizang Pavilion" hangs, emanating an ancient and subtle aura, exuding an aura of extremely long history.

The books in the Dizang Pavilion have a free open area and a core area open to high-level cultivators.

After Qin Ming entered, the old man who was guarding the place, who had been idly reading a storybook, was so startled by Qin Ming's arrival that he jumped up from his rattan chair.

"Please come forward, sir. The city lord has instructed that cultivators above the Refinement Void stage can browse the books in this pavilion for free."

Qin Ming nodded and, without standing on ceremony, began to search through the contents of the room.

There are many books about cultivation here, as well as geographical records covering the entire desert and surrounding areas.

In ancient times, there was once an extremely powerful race and civilization that flourished for a time.

The snake-people clan that Jiang Xiaoyu mentioned earlier was the most powerful ancient alien race in the Vast Sea Sand Domain, but for some unknown reason, they gradually declined.

Qin Ming spent several days alone upstairs, and managed to make some progress.

They even found some clues about the seventh-order or higher Spirit Eye Springs.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, Yun Gu Zi sent him a message:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the Han Hai Auction is about to begin. Don't miss it."

Qin Ming, still feeling unsatisfied, put down the book and walked out of the Dizang Pavilion. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu still waiting outside, he immediately took out a small bag of spirit stones and tossed it to him.

This was the first time Jiang Xiaoyu had received such a large donation of spirit stones, and she was utterly overwhelmed with gratitude. She quickly expressed her thanks profusely.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "You will come with me to the auction. Perhaps I will need your help after it's over."

"Are you talking about the largest auction in Tiansha City, the Hanhai Auction? I'd love to go! I've wanted to go for a long time, but I've never had the chance, hehe!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile, then quickly drove the carriage and took Qin Ming to the auction venue.

With the opening of the Vast Ocean Auction, more and more cultivators gathered in Tiansha City, and spirit boats and magic ships from various forces filled the port outside the city.

The venue was located at the site of the Nine Spirits Chamber of Commerce. The battlefield was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators, and was built in a rather luxurious manner.

Furthermore, all items up for auction will be displayed using a spiritual projection, allowing even cultivators in the last row to clearly see every detail of the items.

Yun Gu Zi arrived a step ahead and had been waiting for Qin Ming outside for quite some time.

Huang Yingtian, the deputy city lord of Tiansha City, also greeted Qin Ming with an extremely respectful smile upon his arrival.
"Senior Qin has arrived. I have arranged a private room for you two. Please follow me."

Under Qin Ming's powerful divine sense, everything within the entire immortal city was under his control.

Among those alien cultivators, there were very few old monsters who had surpassed the Integration Stage; these two were already considered to have the highest cultivation levels.

Jiang Xiaoyu stood there dumbfounded, holding the horsewhip in his hand, at a loss. He had originally thought that Qin Ming was at most a senior in the Golden Core stage.

But who would have thought that even the powerful and elusive Deputy City Lord Huang of Tiansha City would call him senior? What does this mean?
That means Qin Ming's cultivation level is far higher than his opponent's, even reaching the legendary level of the Heavenly Sand Master.
Upon realizing this, Jiang Xiaoyu felt completely dizzy.

Seeing that his face was deathly pale and he was trembling and at a loss, the Devouring Rat immediately stepped forward and nudged him, saying:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go inside."

"This old man also wants to see if there are any good treasures in this legendary desert."

"Uh, yes, yes, yes." Jiang Xiaoyu finally came to her senses and cautiously followed behind the Devouring Rat into the luxurious private room to wait for the auction to begin.

This was also the most unforgettable day of his life.

Half a day later.

Inside the auction hall, tens of thousands of cultivators had already gathered. Qin Ming also noticed several powerful auras, which were hidden among the crowd without anyone noticing.

They're probably all characters who're pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

To his surprise, the auction was hosted by Fairy Qianmo of the Wood Crystal Clan. Only a powerful merchant guild like this could afford to host such an event.

Fairy Qianmo and Elder Fengqi even came to the private room to greet Qin Ming.

"Senior Qin, there are several extremely rare items at the end of this auction. They might come in handy for powerful cultivators like you at the Integration stage. You should keep an eye on them."

Fairy Qianmo kindly reminded her.

"Seniors, if you have any items that you wish to entrust to auction, please feel free to tell me."

Qin Ming and Yun Gu Zi exchanged a glance, and Qin Ming immediately said to her, "In that case, we can't come empty-handed."

Immediately, they each took out some rare and precious items and handed them over to Fairy Qianmo for auction.

"I have a bottle of Rank 7 low-grade 'Five Harmony Divine Pill' here. If any fellow Daoist takes a fancy to it, we can exchange it for something of equal value, or we can auction it off directly. However, it must be a Rank 7 mid-grade or higher spiritual item."

Qin Ming was familiar with this pill; it was a standard pill for the Integration Stage, capable of improving cultivation efficiency, making it extremely rare.

After all, alchemists of the seventh rank or above are extremely rare in the entire human race, so pills of this rank are often priced exorbitantly.

When he took over as the patriarch of the Lingmiao Sect, the patriarchs of the Taiyi Sect, Beiling and Chequ from the Beast King Valley, presented him with this pill as a congratulatory gift.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Gu Zi is quite generous." Qin Ming smiled slightly and immediately took out two Xuanling Immortal Peaches from the Little Spirit Realm and handed them to Fairy Qianmo.

"I have two Mystic Spirit Peaches here for auction. If you have any information about the Spirit Eye Spring or any other spiritual soil in the Immortal Platform, we can exchange them."

"Other cultivation resources will only be accepted through bidding for those of high-grade immortal jade or above."

"It's actually a Mystic Spirit Immortal Peach! I never expected Fellow Daoist Qin to be able to cultivate such a rare item." Yun Gu Zi exclaimed in admiration upon seeing this.

Although the Mysterious Spirit Peach is only a sixth-grade superior-quality spiritual object, its rarity lies in its unique effects of prolonging life and repairing the primordial spirit.

For some old monsters whose time is about to come, this is nothing short of a life-saving treasure, something that even some seventh-tier spiritual items cannot buy.

The ripening period of the Mysterious Spirit Peach is even more than ten thousand years, making it extremely rare and hard to come by.

Besides the Xuanling Immortal Peach, Qin Ming simply rummaged through the storage bags of the dead cultivators he had previously killed and found some useless items, then dumped them all on Fairy Qianmo for her to dispose of.

There are even materials from some seventh-tier ferocious beasts.
The bone wings of the Nether Bone Vulture that Qin Ming killed in Tianxing City were also among them.
Such a grand gesture broadened the horizons of those present.

Fairy Qianmo was also very excited when she accepted the items entrusted to her by the two people for auction. These rare and precious materials were enough to elevate the reputation of their Nine Spirits Merchant Guild to a higher level among the alien races.

Next.

The Hanhai Auction officially began, with a dazzling array of rare and precious treasures appearing one after another in fierce competition, causing wave after wave of excitement.

at the same time.

More than 100,000 miles away from Tiansha City, in the boundless sea of ​​sand, lies a massive, winding ravine, as if it had been forcibly cleaved open in the desert. Above the deep ravine, two extremely powerful figures stand suspended in mid-air, both being experts at the Integration Stage.

One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe. He had an extraordinary bearing and his every move was like that of an emperor, full of majesty.

The other person was an old man in a gray robe with a pair of sharp horns on his head; he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from another race.

Just as the two were observing, a long-range communication talisman approached from afar and landed in his hand in an instant.

The middle-aged man in purple robes took out a communication talisman and glanced at it briefly. Immediately, his brows furrowed, revealing a solemn expression.

Seeing this, the old man from another race beside him asked, "Fellow Daoist Tiansha, is something wrong?"

"For the sake of this fortuitous opportunity, I even neglected the Vast Ocean Auction. I didn't expect to see two human cultivators at the Integration Stage." The middle-aged man in purple robes, who had the appearance of an emperor in the mortal world, said calmly after reading the message.

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed elder from the alien race immediately said, "Oh? A Nascent Soul stage cultivator, you wouldn't happen to have come here for this matter as well, would you?"

"It was probably just a coincidence that I happened to be passing by," Master Tiansha said, shaking his head.

The gray-robed elder said, "That's possible. I've heard that the Immortal Origin Clan is currently gathering cultivators from its allied factions for a meeting. These two are most likely representatives of a human immortal city."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have come all this way."

Master Tiansha nodded slowly: "However, the time for that extraordinary treasure to appear is very close. At that time, it will inevitably alarm that 'Snake Queen'. She broke through to the late stage many years ago. Even if the two of us join forces, it will be extremely troublesome."

"Does Fellow Daoist Tian Sha mean we should invite those two human fellow Daoists to join us?" the gray-robed alien elder asked hesitantly.

Master Tiansha pondered for a moment and said, "We can only wait and see. Let's go back and find out about those two first, otherwise there will be many variables."

The old man in the gray robe nodded, gazing at the ravine that led to an unknown destination, and sighed deeply:
"I never expected that this place would give birth to a rare treasure containing a wisp of the power of creation of heaven and earth. I wonder what kind of rare treasure it will be this time."

"Whatever the treasure it is, we will divide it equally as agreed, each taking what we need," said Master Tiansha calmly.

After discussing it for a while, the two figures blurred and disappeared.

……

the other side.

At the auction in Tiansha City, a constant stream of treasures took center stage.

After the latest round of competition ended, Fairy Qianmo ordered someone to bring out a dish.

It was a gray stone tablet several meters in size, densely covered with numerous tadpole-shaped spiritual characters.

However, judging from the material, it is an extremely special material of the sixth rank or above.

The cultivators below, seeing the treasure being carried up, immediately began whispering and discussing among themselves.

However, after studying and discussing it for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out.

Fairy Qianmo began to introduce the stone tablet: "This stone tablet is a family heirloom of the Ancient Rock Clan. It is said to be an extremely extraordinary item. Due to the decline of the clan, they want to auction it off to obtain cultivation resources. If anyone is interested, please feel free to make a bid."

Starting bid: 200 mid-grade immortal jades

As soon as she finished speaking, the cultivators below erupted in an uproar:
"Are you kidding me? This broken stone slab is selling for such a high price?"

"I think the Ancient Rock Clan is obsessed with money."

"Exactly, exactly. They're just pretending to be mysterious. None of them can understand it. Nine times out of ten, they're just trying to fool people."

"However, the material of this stone tablet looks quite special, perhaps it has other uses."

Amidst the murmurs and discussions, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly slightly surprised:

'Isn't this the spirit script of the True Immortal Realm? How did it appear here?'

He had entered the Linglong Immortal Mansion several times, and with the guidance and instruction of the Old Demon Qingyang, he was extremely familiar with this special spiritual script.

Qin Ming only glanced at it briefly before discovering that the stone tablet was actually inscribed with the recipe for a healing elixir—'Azure Creation Pill'.

This pill transcends the scope of ordinary pills; it can instantly heal injuries suffered by cultivators at the Integration Stage and above.

It should be understood that once a cultivator in the Integration Stage is injured, it is impossible for them to recover without a hundred or eighty years of recuperation.

Some injuries are even serious and can take a considerable amount of time to heal.

Furthermore, elixirs and miraculous medicines of the seventh rank and above are extremely rare, which is enough to illustrate the preciousness of this elixir.

In a critical moment, it's like having an extra life out of nowhere.

Qin Ming, who had been extremely relaxed, finally revealed an expression of great interest.

"I didn't expect this place to actually have something special."

The venue was filled with the sounds of bidding, but none of the bids were very high.

Qin Ming might just snag a huge bargain today.

Such pill formulas passed down from the True Immortal Realm would cause even a Mahayana cultivator to fight fiercely upon seeing them.

Seeing that everyone had raised their prices to a similar level, Qin Ming immediately quoted a price as well:
"One thousand mid-grade immortal jades."

As the words fell, everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected that someone would actually pay such a high price for a real broken stone slab.

However, they couldn't see who had set the price, since the private room that Fairy Qianmo had arranged for Qin Ming and his companion was extremely private.

Soon, Qin Ming acquired the stone tablet that recorded the elixir formula.

Seeing Qin Ming's eager expression, Yun Gu Zi couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you perhaps recognize the spiritual script on this?"

Qin Ming simply smiled and replied very subtly, "I saw that this material is special and wanted to take it back to study it."

Seeing this, Yun Gu Zi did not ask any further questions.

As the auction continued, many more rare and precious treasures were brought to the stage.

One of the jade fruits was opened, revealing a golden, fist-sized spiritual fruit inside.

"Sixth-grade top-quality Golden Sand Worm Spirit Fruit".
