Cangling Immortal Clan

Ye Linyuan looked up to True Lord Changqing slightly, but that was all.

At his level, his vision and ability are beyond the Nascent Soul stage. Even if Changqing Tianjun has become a pseudo Tianjun, it is still not good enough as long as he has not crossed that realm.

Putting this thought aside, Ye Linyuan stayed in the cave to consolidate his cultivation, while Ye Xuqiu and the others left the cave and wandered around Tianyan Immortal City.

Time passed so slowly that before we knew it, the day of the barter conference had arrived.

This barter conference is the largest one in the past three thousand years in the Haotian Ancient Realm, and also the highest-level barter conference in the Haotian Ancient Realm.

Although every thousand years, the supreme giants of the ancient world of Haotian would hold an exchange conference, but those were small meetings with only twenty to thirty people in attendance, and many supreme giants might not necessarily attend.

However, this time it was different. There were more than a thousand Nascent Soul True Lords participating in the Exchange Conference, and the lowest among them was a hegemon in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

At an exchange conference of this scale, the treasures are naturally extremely amazing, which attracts many old monks who have been in seclusion for many years to come out and participate.

"In the Haotian Ancient Realm, all the supreme giants who are still active and the half-step Yuanshen are basically here."

After entering the exchange conference, Ye Linyuan looked around the entire venue, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

An exchange conference of this scale is also a good opportunity for him, because many cultivators will bring out rare items, and some rare and precious medicinal species rarely seen in the world will also appear.

"This barter conference is divided into three stages. The first stage is the trading conference, and the second stage is the auction conference."

"There will be a small meeting after this, which will only belong to a small circle of people like us."

Before the barter conference began, the owner of Tianyan Tower specifically pulled Ye Linyuan aside to tell him.

According to the owner of Tianyan Tower, there are too many monks participating, and it would be a waste of time if they all went on stage one by one to exchange items or auction them.

Therefore, some treasures of lower value are not eligible to be auctioned and can only be traded at trade fairs.

The first phase of the trading conference is to temporarily open shops during the barter conference.

All monks who receive the invitation are eligible to set up a stall or open a shop, take out their treasures and wait for people in need to buy them.

The trade fair lasts for a month, and whether you can buy the treasures you want or sell the extra items depends on your asking price and fate.

As for the auction, the requirements are very strict. Lower-value treasures of the fourth-grade or above, such as a single infant-cultivating pill, are not eligible for the auction.

Only relatively normal fourth-grade, top-quality treasures, or whole bottles of fourth-grade, top-quality infant-cultivating pills are eligible to be put on auction.

The small meeting is an exchange meeting for a small circle of people who have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and above. There are no more than two hundred people qualified to participate in total, but the value of the treasures of the strong people at this level is self-evident.

What Ye Linyuan attaches the most importance to this time is this small meeting that only supreme giants can attend.

However, he did not give up on the trade fair and auction. When he arrived at Ye's shop, he handed the treasures he had prepared long ago to Shui Hanqing and others and said, "Our shop will be managed by Madam."

"These are all the surplus items we have accumulated over the years. We should first use them to exchange for rare medicinal species and the fourth-level treasures that we cannot obtain."

Shui Hanqing nodded slightly when he heard this.

After two thousand years of accumulation, the Ye family's immortal clan has become extremely powerful. Even treasures that are of lower level to Ye Linyuan are of inestimable value in the outside world.

Among the treasures he handed over to Shui Hanqing were thousands of fourth-tier elixirs, various rare spiritual plants, and even a large number of fourth-tier top-grade elixirs such as the Infant-Breaking Pill, the Longevity Pill, and the Infant-Nurturing Pill.

For example, the fourth-grade top-grade longevity pill, which can extend one's life for as long as 1,800 years, is a top treasure in Chixiazhou in Nanling for a thousand years. Every time it comes out, it is enough to cause a life-and-death fight among the giants in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But in Ye Linyuan's hands now, it has become the most common thing that can prolong life.

From this we can see how amazing the effect is when a fifth-rank medium-grade spiritual plant is combined with the Green Eyes of Fortune and four hundred acres of vast top-grade spiritual fields.

This is indeed the case. With the opening of the Ye family’s shop, the rare elixirs inside immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

It was really that Ye Linyuan's treasures were too valuable. Those Infant-Breaking Pills were enough to make a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator pay a huge amount of money to buy them, and the Longevity Pills could also make a late-Nascent Soul cultivator reluctantly part with their flesh and blood.

Taking this opportunity, the Ye family of immortals acquired a large number of rare and precious medicinal species rarely seen in the outside world, including a batch of extremely valuable fifth-level spiritual medicine seeds, and even a seed of the ancient true spiritual medicine Fire Spirit Flower.

The Fire Spirit Flower is one of the Five Elements Spirit Flowers. Legend has it that it is a treasure that can complete the five elements of spiritual roots.

With this rare true spiritual medicine seed, Ye Linyuan will be able to complete the fire spiritual root and give birth to the fourth spiritual root when he breaks through the realm of the soul in the future.

As far as Ye Linyuan knows, in order to complete the five elements of spiritual roots, one needs to follow the order of mutual generation and mutual restraint, otherwise there is a possibility of failure in completing the spiritual roots.

Ye Linyuan possesses three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood. As the saying goes, earth produces gold, gold produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, and fire produces earth.

According to the order of the five elements, after he breaks through the soul, he should first complete the fire spiritual root, and then complete the earth spiritual root to complete the five elements spiritual root cycle.

"After breaking through the Yuanshen, the easiest spiritual root to complete is the five elements spiritual root. In ancient times, Yuanshen late stage cultivators were able to gather the required five elements spiritual flowers."

"After this, it will be extremely difficult to complete the three spiritual roots of wind, ice and thunder. To complete the two spiritual roots of yin and yang, it is even more necessary to refine a complete mysterious spiritual object. This is not something that ordinary ancient masters can do."

"With my current abilities, the only thing I can be sure of finding is the Earth Spirit Flower."

Ye Linyuan's mind kept flickering, and then he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Unfortunately, the subsequent trade fair lasted for a month, and no one brought out the medicinal seeds of the Earth Spirit Flower. Ye Linyuan personally visited every trading shop, but still did not get what he wanted.

However, Ye Linyuan did get a seed of the wood spirit flower among the five elements spirit flowers. He traded it in the shop of True Lord Changqing.

Although Ye Linyuan does not need the Wood Spirit Flower to replenish his spiritual roots, this thing is also useful to everyone in the family, provided that the Golden Age will really arrive as scheduled.

Soon, as the trading conference was over, Ye Linyuan counted the large number of medicinal materials he had traded and nodded slightly.

He gained a lot from this transaction, including more than thirty seeds of fifth-level spiritual medicines, which can be regarded as advance preparation for breaking through the realm of Yuanshen in the future.

As the trade fair came to an end, the auction officially began.

The standard of this auction was extremely high, and most of the items were treasures of the fourth-grade or higher level, including some key auxiliary medicines for the Three Souls Pill. These treasures attracted a lot of supreme giants and even half-step Yuanshen to scramble for them.

Ye Linyuan did not seek for treasures such as spiritual treasures, formation tools, and talismans. He was more interested in purchasing rare medicinal species and various extremely rare inheritances.

It was not until a bronze tripod covered with mottled embroidery came on stage that it caught Ye Linyuan's attention.

"Everyone, this thing is called the 'Ten Thousand Wood Divine Cauldron'. It is an ancient pure Yang treasure from the ancient times. Unfortunately, because it has been so long, the spirit inside has died out. Now only a shell remains."

Originally, many supreme giants took it very seriously, but after hearing these words, they couldn't help but shook their heads with regret.

The Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron was a common auxiliary pure yang spiritual treasure in ancient times. Its main function was to nourish medicinal species, enhance the spirituality and potential of ancient true spiritual medicines, and also increase the magical powers of spiritual plants to a certain extent.

Generally speaking, when a fifth-rank lower-grade spiritual plant husband activates his spiritual plant magical power, with the blessing of the Wanmu Divine Cauldron, which is a lower-grade pure yang spiritual treasure, the effect can be improved by about 30%.

Don't underestimate this 30% effect. If a senior fifth-rank lower-grade spiritual plant cultivator has the blessing of this Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron, his spiritual plant cultivation skills may be able to reach a level close to fifth-rank middle-grade.

In addition, the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron can also amplify the range of the magical powers of spiritual plants, and can take care of most spiritual medicines below the fourth-grade upper grade on its own, which can greatly reduce the time cultivators spend on taking care of spiritual fields.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron has died, and it has lost its ability to bless spiritual plants and nourish medicinal plants, which has greatly reduced its value.

“Everyone, even though the spirit of the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron has been extinguished, if you have good skills, you may be able to revive it completely.”

"And even if it can't be completely revived, as long as it breeds a fourth-level high-quality spirit weapon, it can still have a significant effect."

Seeing that everyone was losing interest, the monk in charge of the auction couldn't help but speak.

No one present responded to the words, only a few spiritual plant husbands were quite interested, and many cultivators began to make bids.

Ye Linyuan was very interested in the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron, because he had the ancient spiritual medicine Nirvana Holy Fruit in his hand. This thing had the miraculous effect of allowing people to be reborn into Nirvana, and it was also effective for the spirit of the Pure Yang Lingbao.

If this thing is fed to the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron, it will be enough to revive its extinguished spirit and restore it to a level higher than that of a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

By then, with the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron taking care of the spiritual field, Ye Linyuan will be able to save a lot of time and only need to concentrate his energy on a few high-level rare and magical medicines.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron can bless his spiritual plant magical power and further enhance the effect of his spiritual plant magical power. It can be said that this Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron is extremely important to him.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan directly made an offer, and finally exchanged the shell of the ancient treasure, the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron, for two portions of the main ingredient of the Soul Pill.

Originally, True Lord Changqing was very interested in this, but in the end he gave up after seeing Ye Linyuan's bid.

Although the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron was extremely valuable, he had no way to repair the spirit of the weapon. If he could only cultivate a fourth-grade, top-quality spirit, then this transaction would definitely be a loss.

Moreover, he has been making a lot of plans recently and has consumed a lot of the treasures in his hands. He will also have a more important meeting to attend next, so it is not the time to waste these rare treasures.

"The biggest purpose of this exchange meeting is to obtain the Nine Heavens Qiangang."

"Although the Ten Thousand Wood Divine Cauldron is valuable, it is still nothing compared to the opportunity of the Yuanshen."

Lord Changqing had a change of heart and decided to give the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron to Ye Linyuan.

After a small episode, the barter meeting was still going on, but the following treasures were not worthy of Ye Linyuan's attention.

The only thing that can be considered precious is the two water spirit flower seeds. "Fire spirit flower, wood spirit flower, water spirit flower, only gold spirit flower and earth spirit flower are missing to complete the five elements spirit flower seeds."

Ye Linyuan's heart moved slightly, but he put the thought aside.

In fact, in ancient times, the five elements spiritual flowers were not particularly precious, and they were very easy to grow. In fact, they might not be better than the fourth-grade top-quality longevity fruit.

It is said that in ancient times, the Five Elements Spirit Flowers were not only things that replenished spiritual roots, but were also closely related to the legendary Five Elements Origins. After refining, they could speed up the cultivation of the Five Elements Origins.

If cultivators wanted to perfect their cultivation of the Pure Yang Five Elements Origin, they would need to consume a large amount of Five Elements Spirit Flowers. This led to all major forces in the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm at that time planting a large number of Five Elements Spirit Flowers.

The Five Elements Spiritual Flowers at that time were probably like the Peiying Fruits used to refine Peiying Pills, and were one of the most basic and common fifth-level cultivation resources.

"To complete one spiritual root, Yuanshen Tianjun needs at least nine five-element spiritual flowers."

"If you want to cultivate the five elements' origins to perfection, you need at least hundreds of each of the five elements' spiritual flowers. It is said that only when the five elements' origins are completely cultivated to perfection will you be qualified to explore the path of the law of refining emptiness."

An idea came to Ye Linyuan, and then he put away the two water spirit flower seeds.

He planned to go back and clear out an acre of top-grade spiritual field to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Flowers and grow a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Flower seeds to prepare for the Five Elements Spiritual Flowers after he breaks through his Primordial Spirit in the future.

Time passed quickly while he was thinking, and in the blink of an eye the auction was over and the day for the small meeting had arrived.

On this day, Ye Linyuan came to a hall and looked at the barter meeting with only more than 200 people in front of him. A touch of emotion appeared in his eyes.

This barter conference is too important. All the supreme giants who are still active in the Haotian Ancient Realm have come, and even some old figures who are about to die have come out early.

Among these more than 200 supreme giants, there are about 100 who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and more than 50 of them are at the Nascent Soul stage of this era. The others are old monsters who have been dormant for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

There are dozens of people who are half a step away from the soul. Ye Linyuan saw the five dragon kings of the dragon clan, including the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, the Golden Crow Emperor, Ye Changfeng, the Young Master Xuanyang, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, as well as ancient monsters such as Chu Jianwei and Changgong Tianyu.

But most of them were old monsters that Ye Linyuan had never met before.

Many of these unfamiliar faces have been dormant for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. They were once among the most amazing people of an era.

When their lifespans were relatively abundant, they went into seclusion and slumber early on, but now they are dragging their frail and old bodies out of seclusion, obviously wanting to attain the realm of Pseudo-Heavenly Sovereign or even Primordial Godly Sovereign before the arrival of the golden age.

After all, even the fourth-level rare black ice can only slow down the loss of lifespan by a hundred times, but it cannot completely block the loss of vitality.

Only some people with strong backgrounds, such as Chu Jianwei and Changgong Tianyu, can maintain a relatively youthful state.

With the support of Yuanshen Tianjun and after taking various rare treasures, their lifespans are as long as ten thousand years. In addition, sleeping with the Longevity Stone has slowed down the speed of lifespan by hundreds of times, so they can have enough lifespan to reach this golden age.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, these two people were probably just over a thousand years old when they fell into deep sleep, so their lifespans are at least several thousand years now.

However, no matter how powerful these Half-Step Souls are, they still take priority. The only ones that Ye Linyuan can really care about are the three Pseudo-Heavenly Lords.

Among these three people, one is Changqing Zhenjun, another is wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, and the last one is a skinny old man.

"Old Ancestor Kurumu, the Seven Absolute Pill Saint!"

When they saw the two men for the first time, everyone present showed a trace of horror, and Ye Linyuan also got information about the two men from everyone.

Among these two powerful men, Patriarch Kurumu rose to prominence 110,000 years ago and was once the most amazing ancient prodigy of that era.

Legend has it that he practiced the ancient miraculous skill of reviving a dead tree, which allowed him to use up his lifespan and live another life when his lifespan was about to end. He was once a supreme legend of a crucial era.

It is said that he defeated all the geniuses of that era and was even qualified to attain the realm of Yuanshen Tianjun, but he eventually gave up the opportunity to break through Yuanshen and sealed himself in hibernation, waiting for the arrival of the golden age.

Now, 110,000 years have passed, and this ancient genius suddenly appeared in the world, obviously coming for the opportunity of the legendary golden age.

"He doesn't have much time left, but he still has a chance to live again. He is one of our biggest competitors for the chance to become a soul in this era."

True Lord Changqing whispered slowly and silently transmitted the message to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan didn't say anything, but looked at the Qi Jue Dan Sheng who was wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, and remembered this person's origins.

The Qijue Alchemy Saint became famous 70,000 years ago. Legend has it that he was the best alchemist in the past 100,000 years, and one of the top three alchemy geniuses since ancient times.

Legend has it that he was born from an ancient cave and showed unparalleled talent for alchemy since he was young. He became a fourth-tier super alchemist at the age of only 1,500 years old.

It is said that he also created a volume of supreme alchemy secrets, and his alchemy skills are comparable to those of a fifth-level alchemist.

"For the past 70,000 years, the Seven Absolute Pill Saints have appeared every 10,000 to 20,000 years, and almost every time they have done so, they have opened the furnace to refine a Heavenly Soul Pill. They have successively refined three Heavenly Soul Pills and cultivated three Yuanshen Daojuns."

"The person who refined the elixir for Daoist Master Xuanyang back then was this Senior Qi Jue Dan Sheng."

True Lord Changqing spoke slowly, a hint of emotion appearing in his eyes.

Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded. According to this, at least five Yuanshen Daojuns owed a huge favor to Qijue Dan Sheng.

With such a foundation, even if the golden age comes, he will probably be able to sit back and relax.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said, "I'm afraid that Senior Qi Jue is coming out of seclusion this time to ask him to make an elixir, right?"

It is rare to find an alchemy genius like the Qijue Alchemy Saint. The reason why he appeared this time was probably because he was invited by major forces to refine the Earth Soul Pill and the Heaven Soul Pill.

"Yes." Changqing Zhenjun nodded, and then said: "And this time, this senior Qijue Dansheng will at least refine several furnaces of Earth Soul Pills, and may even refine one or two furnaces of Heaven Soul Pills."

"However, spiritual medicines are hard to come by. In order to increase the success rate of pills as much as possible, we will invite more fourth-level super-quality alchemists."

“So it’s not just him. In a few years, three senior Alchemy Saints who have been dormant for many years will come out of seclusion to help him refine the Earth Soul Pill and the Heaven Soul Pill.”

At this point, Changqing Zhenjun looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "Daoyou was able to cultivate a half-step Yuanshen, so I think he has been promoted to a fourth-level super-grade alchemist."

"After this exchange conference is over, you and I will most likely be invited."

Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said: "Participating in the refining of the Earth Soul Pill and the Heaven Soul Pill will also be of great use to me."

"Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the Haotian Ancient Realm is limited, and there is only one person who can break through the realm of the Yuanshen. If the Golden Age does not come..."

Having said this, Ye Linyuan did not continue.

He had a vague feeling that this golden age would be very special and would definitely not come for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Changqing Zhenjun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now all the major forces have already invested a lot of money, and many people are even willing to come out early at any cost."

"Whether the golden age comes or not, the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot."

The two of them talked here and didn't say anything else.

They understood that if the golden age did not come, these people would probably fight to the death for the only position of the Yuanshen Tianjun.

Because only by advancing to the realm of Yuanshen Tianjun can one have the ability to enter the major forbidden areas, use the Longevity Stone to sleep and wait for the opportunity of longevity in the future.

"Everyone, let me start this barter meeting."

Just as everyone was discussing, the old man with the dead tree walked up.

But he showed rare treasures one after another with the flick of his sleeves, and then he said calmly: "I need Pure Yang Stone, Heavenly Soul Dao Jade, and various rare treasures that can enhance the power of the soul."

"If you need anything, you can trade it."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present showed surprise.

But the old man Kurumu displayed no less than dozens of rare treasures, each of which was a rare fourth-level treasure, even including several main ingredients of the Heavenly Soul Pill, including a batch of Earth Spirit Flower and Gold Spirit Flower seeds.

In addition, there are two top-level fourth-grade rare treasures, one is called the Delusion-Breaking Flower, and the other is the Taihuang Origin Stone.

The flower that breaks delusion has a miraculous effect on Ye Xuqiu's golden pupil that breaks delusion, enough to allow Ye Xuqiu's golden pupil to awaken the pure yang magical power in advance.

The Taihuang Source Stone contains the origin of Taihuang, which can assist the Taihuang Holy Body in awakening the Pure Yang Magical Power. This is also a treasure of immeasurable value to Ye Chongyun.

"He needs soul nourishing items and Pure Yang Stone. It seems that he is preparing to break through to the realm of Yuan Shen."

Ye Linyuan's mind moved slightly, and then he took out several fourth-level rare soul-nourishing elixirs and exchanged them for the two rare treasures and all the five elements of spiritual flower medicine seeds from the old man with dead wood.

Although the fourth-grade rare soul-nourishing elixir he took out might aid the enemy, Ye Linyuan was not worried that this person would pose a threat.

Although it is good to be in a state of self-sleeping, it also comes at a huge price.

Although Old Man Kurumu once suppressed an era, he has lost his vigor and vitality after sealing himself off. The probability of him breaking through to the primordial spirit is probably reduced by at least 30%.

Therefore, in Ye Linyuan's opinion, a contemporary genius like the Golden Crow Emperor has a higher probability of breaking through to the level of Yuanshen Tianjun.

And even if this person breaks through, he can't pose much threat to Ye Linyuan. (End of this chapter)
