Chapter 3173 Qilin Dao Bone

Three hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones.

I acquired a piece of rock marrow.

In Shen Changqing's view, it was a sure-fire way to make money.

not to mention.

These innate spiritual roots, such as Earth Marrow, are born after hundreds of millions of years in special earth veins. They contain terrifying earth vein power.

What are earth veins?

It is the very fabric of the earth!

However, even though they are all part of the earth's natural network, there are differences in strength.

obviously.

The layers of the earth's veins that can nurture the earth's rock marrow are self-evident.

If such treasures were used to open up the Earth Universe, Shen Changqing believed that his own Earth Universe would definitely be able to rise to a higher level.

The stronger the treasure that enabled the creation of the universe, the stronger the foundation upon which that universe was created.

Even cultivators of equal aptitude strive to acquire top-tier treasures in order to create their own universes.

not to mention.

The Nine Universes of the Immortal Emperor.

The Heavenly Universe communicates with the Heavenly Dao, and the Earthly Universe carries infinity. These two universes can be compared to Heaven and Earth. The Five Immortals Universe is the foundation of the Five Elements, and the Twin Eyes Universe is the order of Yin and Yang.

The Star Immortal Tree that Shen Changqing used to create the Heavenly Universe had stellar power that connected with chaos and was filled with boundless divine essence of the Great Dao. In a sense, it was extremely compatible with the Heavenly Universe.

even.

Generally speaking, even innate spiritual roots that are slightly better than the Starry Sky Immortal Tree are not necessarily more suitable for the Heavenly Universe.

certainly--

At the level of innate spiritual roots, there may not necessarily be anything better than the Starry Sky Immortal Tree.

"The Earth Rock Marrow is perfectly aligned with the Earth Universe. The subsequent opening of the Twin Eyes Universe is to seek the innate spiritual root with Yin and Yang characteristics. Ideally, the final Five Immortals Universe should also be aligned with the Five Elements."

Even the innate chaotic beast bones should ideally be found to have corresponding characteristics.

The Chaos Phoenix I used before wasn't particularly compatible with the Heavenly Universe!

Shen Changqing pondered to himself.

However, this isn't a major problem. The innate chaotic beast's Dao bone can still be extracted from the innate spiritual root later, although it's quite troublesome.

As long as we can find the corresponding innate chaotic beast's Dao bone, then these problems are not problems at all.

Compare.

The choice of innate spiritual root is the most important thing.

After all, such innate spiritual roots are the foundation that supports the universe. Once the universe is created, there is no possibility of changing one's innate spiritual roots.

Once you do that.

The universe is bound to collapse.

At best, it will cause one's cultivation level to regress.

In severe cases, they may suffer a backlash and die on the spot.

but.

Innate spiritual roots are hard to find.

The Dao bones of innate chaotic ferocious beasts of the same attribute are even harder to find.

Shen Changqing had no idea what level of existence the Primordial Chaos Beast Dao Bone that Tongtian Pavilion was selling this time belonged to.

But anyway.

With the Earth Rock Marrow, as long as I also get my hands on the Ferocious Beast Dao Bone, I will have the potential to break through to the middle stage of Immortal Emperor.

but.

Even if you obtain the Earth Rock Marrow.

Shen Changqing also needed to see what the innate spiritual root in Tongtian Pavilion was all about.

If Mingxin's words are incorrect, and if that innate spiritual root is of the Five Elements or Yin-Yang attributes, then Shen Changqing must also take action to acquire it.

……

Seven thousand years.

Passing away quietly.

The Heavenly Immortal City remains prosperous.

The reputation of Xuantian Dao Sect gradually faded away.

By now, there is very little discussion about the Xuantian Dao Sect.

This is also normal.

As the number one immortal city in the Divine Sun Domain, Heavenly Dao Immortal City is filled with powerful figures and numerous geniuses. Although the geniuses who ascended the Immortal King Stele thousands of years ago caused a sensation, it was impossible for that phenomenon to continue indefinitely.

For thousands of years.

The Immortal King Stele has undergone further changes.

After all, any genius who enters the Immortal King Stele cannot stay at this level for too long; they will break through when the time comes.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Ancient Immortal Realm, they will naturally disappear from the Immortal King Stele.

In addition-

Wars are now frequent among the various immortal realms.

Even the Divine Sun Domain was greatly affected.

News of the destruction of sects would occasionally circulate, so Shen Changqing's killing of two Immortal Emperors back then naturally didn't cause much of a stir.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing was also happy to see it happen.

Sometimes, having too much fame isn't a good thing.

Shen Changqing was happy to see the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's influence reduced to its lowest level.

at the same time.

Over these thousands of years, Shen Changqing's cultivation has advanced further, and he has already completed nearly half of the Hundred Steps Path.

In addition-

Shen Changqing purchased another batch of divine ore materials and refined a new array plate.

The previous Heavenly Array Plate was destroyed in that battle, so now that there is time, Shen Changqing naturally wants to refine another set of array plates.

Although this level of formation is unlikely to be of much help to Shen Changqing at present, it can still produce unexpected and miraculous effects at certain times.

even.

Shen Changqing wanted to refine several sets so that each of his disciples could have one for protection.

only--

The creation of the Dutian Formation Plate was no easy feat.

It contains a Celestial Emperor's Killing Array.

Even with Shen Changqing's current mastery of array formations, he wouldn't dare say he could succeed in refining it 100%.

If the refining fails, the price to pay will be considerable.

and so.

Shen Changqing is only temporarily refining a set of the Dutian Array Plate for future use.

He set off for the Tongtian Pavilion auction as soon as it began.

Unlike auction houses in other immortal realms, the auction house inside the Tongtian Pavilion is undoubtedly much more magnificent, with independent spaces set up where many rare and exotic treasures are displayed.

Some inheritances involving the level of Immortal Emperors will appear in the auction items.

but.

Regarding these things.

Shen Changqing didn't care much.

He has no shortage of the legacy of the Immortal Emperor.

Even a typical semi-saint's inheritance wouldn't be something Shen Changqing would look down on.

His true purpose now is that innate spiritual root and the Dao bone of the innate chaotic beast.

……

As each item was sold, another item appeared shortly afterward, which made Shen Changqing involuntarily take it more seriously.

"The notes of a seventh-order Grandmaster of Alchemy!"

Shen Changqing's expression shifted slightly.

This is something.

to be frank.

He was indeed somewhat tempted.

The notes of a top-tier seventh-order alchemy grandmaster record his insights into alchemy and may even contain some top-tier alchemy formulas.

Even without the latter, the former's insights into alchemy alone would be enough to entice many grandmasters of alchemy.

as predicted.

When the price of this item was first announced, it quickly exceeded five thousand high-grade immortal stones.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing followed suit with the offer.

"Six thousand high-grade immortal stones!"

A brief silence followed.

Then new prices appeared.

"Six thousand one hundred high-grade immortal stones!"

"Six thousand five hundred high-grade immortal stones!"

"Seven thousand high-grade immortal stones——"

Seeing that the price was already heading straight for 10,000 high-grade immortal stones, Shen Changqing thought about it and decided to give up the idea.

Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones.

This price has exceeded Shen Changqing's expectations.

If this is a complete and top-tier alchemy inheritance, then 10,000 high-grade immortal stones are certainly not a loss.

However, if it is merely a memoir from a seventh-tier Grandmaster, then 10,000 high-grade immortal stones is clearly an excessive premium.

and.

For now.

Even 10,000 high-grade immortal stones might not be enough to stop it.

This way.

Shen Changqing had no intention of competing for it.

He only had about 800,000 immortal stones left, and it was still uncertain whether he could acquire those two treasures, so naturally he couldn't afford to waste too much on them.

Shen Changqing would not do anything that puts the cart before the horse.

It turns out.

Shen Changqing's idea is correct.

The price of this manuscript, written by a top-tier seventh-level alchemy master, eventually rose to 12,000 high-grade immortal stones.

"The foundation of these top-tier immortal realms is indeed unmatched by any other immortal realm!"

Seeing this, Shen Changqing sighed inwardly.

Exchanging over ten thousand high-grade immortal stones for just one Grandmaster's Notebook is beyond luxurious.

If it were the former Xuantian Dao Sect, more than 10,000 high-grade immortal stones would have been enough to exhaust all its resources, but even so, it might not have been able to come up with that much.

This is no joke.

Resources in the Immortal Realm below the 800th rank are already scarce, and how much resources can a sect have, even if it is the overlord of an Immortal Realm?

However, the situation is somewhat better in the three immortal realms under the Xuantian Dao Sect.

As each item was presented for auction, Shen Changqing raised his bid.

Not long after, Shen Changqing finally got what he wanted.

"This is an Earth Spirit Immortal Root, an innate spiritual root. I believe I don't need to elaborate on the details. Therefore, the starting bid for this innate spiritual root is 50,000 high-grade immortal stones, and each bid must be at least 1,000 high-grade immortal stones!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a cultivator made a bid.

"Fifty-two thousand high-grade immortal stones!"

"Sixty thousand high-grade immortal stones!"

"Sixty-five thousand high-grade immortal stones!"

"Seventy thousand—"

……

"Earth Spirit Immortal Root!"

Shen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Information about such innate spiritual roots surfaced in his mind.

Earthly essence and immortal roots.

strictly speaking.

It is something similar to the earth's rock marrow.

But the difference is.

Earth Spirit Immortal Root is considered a companion spiritual root of Earth Rock Marrow, and its grade is naturally much lower than that of Earth Rock Marrow.

Moreover, the spiritual root here appears to be withered, and the earth vein power it contains is even weaker, indicating that among earth spiritual roots, this innate spiritual root is of the lowest grade.

"What Mingxin said is true. The innate spiritual roots auctioned by Tongtian Pavilion this time are not comparable to the Earth Rock Marrow. However, even so, a not-so-complete Earth Spirit Immortal Root can sell for a sky-high price of 150,000 high-grade immortal stones."

If it were earth marrow instead, the price would probably be at least 400,000, or even up to 500,000!

Shen Changqing looked at the auction prices; the price of the Earth Spirit Immortal Root had now been fixed at 150,000 high-grade immortal stones.

This.

It's just the price of a not-so-good Earth Spirit Root.

If it were a perfectly intact Earth Spirit Immortal Root, Shen Changqing suspected it could fetch a staggering price of around 200,000.

After all, innate spiritual roots are related to the breakthrough and foundation of certain Immortal Emperors. A higher grade of innate spiritual root means greater potential for future advancement.

Now that the Taiyi Holy Land is offering a single Earth Rock Marrow for 300,000 high-grade immortal stones, it is undoubtedly a bargain for them.

"It seems we really do owe the Taiyi Holy Land a favor this time!"

……

"This is the Dao Bone of a mature, innate chaotic beast, the Qilin. This Dao Bone carries the bloodline inheritance of an innate chaotic beast. The starting bid is 100,000 high-grade immortal stones, and each bid must be at least 1,000 high-grade immortal stones!"

"The Daoist Bone of a Qilin!"

Shen Changqing was startled.

When his gaze fell upon that piece of Dao bone, he had already made up his mind that he would get his hands on the Qilin Dao bone today, even if it cost him all the immortal stones.

The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth!

Yin and Yang order!

obviously.

In a sense, the Qilin Dao Bone is naturally compatible with the Earth Rock Marrow, and if the two were to create the Earth Universe together, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

If it were any other innate Dao bone, Shen Changqing would need to consider how many immortal stones would be appropriate to pay.

However, with the Qilin Dao Bone, there was nothing to hesitate about.

soon.

The price of Qilin Daogu (a type of ancient Chinese bone) is rising steadily.

In just a short while, its price exceeded 300,000 high-grade immortal stones.

But that's the case.

These prices continue to rise.

Compared to the Earth Spirit Immortal Root, the Qilin Dao Bone is at least one level more important.

"Five million high-grade immortal stones!"

Seeing that prices were slowing down, Shen Changqing finally made his move.

The announcement of 500,000 high-grade immortal stones shocked the other cultivators.

Even in the Divine Sun Domain, for many forces, it is not an easy thing to come up with 500,000 high-grade immortal stones in one go.

half an hour.

The price was refreshed again.

"Fifty-one million high-grade immortal stones!"

The fact that they directly increased the price by 10,000 immortal stones shows that the other party is determined to win.

Upon seeing this, Shen Changqing remained unmoved: "Five hundred and fifty thousand high-grade immortal stones!"

half an hour.

Then another cultivator made a bid.

"Five hundred and sixty thousand!"

"Five hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Five hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

……

By the time the auction price reached 650,000, very few cultivators were actually bidding.

When Shen Changqing once again offered 700,000 high-grade immortal stones, no one else stepped forward to compete for them.

finally.

This Qilin Dao Bone fell into Shen Changqing's hands.

"call!"

Seeing that he had successfully obtained the item, Shen Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seven hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones.

To be honest.

This price has exceeded his expectations.

After all, a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact might only cost around 500,000.

However, some things cannot be measured by common sense.

Like the Qilin Dao Bone, those who need it will spare no expense, but those who don't need it are not even as important as a high-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact in their eyes.

Regardless, the Qilin Dao Bone ultimately fell into his hands.

"With the Earth Rock Marrow and the Qilin Dao Bone, I no longer need to consider these issues before reaching the Immortal Emperor level."

As for breaking through to the later stages of the Immortal Emperor realm, one needs to find an innate spiritual root with Yin and Yang attributes and an innate Dao bone, which is rather troublesome..."

Shen Changqing didn't dwell on the thought too much.

all.

They'll wait until they break through to the middle stage of Immortal Emperor before making any decisions.

at this time.

The people from Tongtian Pavilion have arrived. They came to ask Shen Changqing to hand over the immortal stones and take away his auction items.

"This is the Qilin Dao Bone that you purchased, fellow Daoist. Please take a look!"

When Shen Changqing looked at the Qilin Dao Bone, it was filled with an extremely terrifying aura. He could vaguely hear the roar of a ferocious beast, and its overwhelming ferocity was terrifying.

"This is 700,000 high-grade immortal stones!"

Shen Changqing flicked his finger, causing a storage ring to fall in front of the other party. The latter's divine sense entered the ring, and his smile became even more enthusiastic.

"The quantity is correct, so I will take my leave now. If you have any further instructions, please feel free to contact me!"

After saying that, the other party politely withdrew.

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, and then put the Qilin Dao Bone into the Heavenly Universe.

When the Qilin Dao Bone appeared in the Heavenly Universe, the innate spiritual root trembled, and terrifying divine fire surged forth. A phantom of a chaotic divine phoenix spread its wings and soared, and a cry that penetrated the soul resounded throughout the universe.

"Roar!"

The Qilin Dao Bone also trembled, as if an ancient Qilin phantom with a body comparable to an ancient star was being conceived and born. A deafening roar echoed from afar, resonating with the Chaos Divine Phoenix.

The Divine Phoenix Soars!

The Qilin stomps the ground!

The combined aura of the two swept across the entire universe, instantly creating a colossal wave.

but.

This strange phenomenon did not last long and gradually subsided.

Seeing this extraordinary phenomenon, Shen Changqing became even more satisfied with the Qilin Dao Bone.

The fact that it could attract the phantom of the Chaos Divine Phoenix meant that the quality of this Qilin Dao Bone was in no way inferior to that of the Chaos Divine Phoenix.

The innate chaotic beast's Dao bone, once fully grown, has already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor level.

Having obtained what he wanted, Shen Changqing naturally had no intention of staying any longer.

After a while.

He then left the Tongtian Pavilion and returned to the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.

at the same time.

Ji Yang, Ye Yun, and others also appeared here.

"Ancestor!"

Everyone greeted him respectfully.

After many years.

Everyone's cultivation has made breakthroughs at different levels. For example, An Tianyi and his group of cultivators who were the first to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm have already broken through to the middle stage of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Although the remaining few are still hovering at the initial stage of Ancient Immortal, they are not far from breaking through to the next level.

And then.

It was Ji Yang, Ye Yun, and the others.

Among them, Ji Yang and Mu Chen made the fastest breakthroughs, both reaching the peak of the middle stage of Ancient Immortal, just one step away from stepping into the late stage of Ancient Immortal.

Looking at Ye Yun and Qin Hao, they were slightly inferior.

But that's the case.

Shen Changqing could also see it.

Ye Yun has at least opened up forty squares of Primordial Chaos World, and it won't be long before he breaks through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Qin Hao was even worse, only able to barely open up thirty squares of Hunyuan World.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Qin Hao did not enter the Immortal King Stele, nor did he undergo the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation. He lacked the opportunity for the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. It is already quite remarkable that he was able to maintain the same level of cultivation as An Tianyi despite being three thousand years behind.

To know.

An Tian was also a prodigy of the Array Peak, and the opponent's aptitude was not low to begin with.

Qin Hao's ability to achieve this is certainly commendable.

In general.

This trip to the Divine Sun Domain.

The top ten prodigies in the Xuantian Dao Sect competition have all improved their strength considerably. Among them, Ji Yang and Mu Chen, with their mid-stage Ancient Immortal cultivation, might even be qualified to suppress a half-step Immortal Emperor.

After all, some exceptional talents are destined to defy conventional wisdom.

Both of them possessed innate immortal bodies. The difference was that after Mu Chen's acquired Thunder God Body transformed into an innate one, although he did not reach the Great Completion stage, he directly advanced to the Lesser Completion stage.

With the foundation of a minor innate immortal body, suppressing a half-step immortal emperor is not an empty boast.

"We have been in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City for ten thousand years. There is no need for us to stay any longer. You should make preparations and leave the Divine Sun Domain tomorrow!"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
