Chapter 269: The Congress Begins, Trading Divine Cleansing Flowers

Chapter 269 – The Assembly Begins, Trading the God-Clearing Flower

Upon hearing these words from True Lord Xuanyang, those present who hadn’t been named immediately cast envious gazes at Jiang Chengxuan, those who had been named.

To be able to have the opportunity to be personally named by True Lord Xuan Yang and to be able to ask him questions in private, this was definitely an opportunity that many people could not even beg for in their lifetime.

The Jiang Chengxuan few were also delighted in their hearts.

At that moment, they respectfully returned a “yes” to True Monarch Xuan Yang, and then waited for the other people present to leave.

After those who had not been named had all left, the few who were left behind began to come forward one by one to ask True Monarch Xuan Yang some questions.

True Monarch Xuan Yang also patiently answered one by one.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, together, came in front of True Monarch Xuanyang, a rare smile appeared on True Monarch Xuanyang’s face.

He looked at the duo and smiled:
“The two young friends from the Liang Kingdom of the Cangnan Domain, I know you.”

With a single sentence, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were instantly somewhat surprised in their hearts.

Obviously, they had never expected that the True Lord Xuan Yang in front of them would even recognize them.

Then he heard True Lord Xuan Yang say, “I wonder if there are any questions that you all need to know right now?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.

The two of them immediately bowed respectfully to True Lord Xuan Yang, and then they heard Jiang Chengxuan say:

“May I ask True Lord, is it true that there are no higher grades above the Ninth Grade Jindan?”

“There is!”

Out of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expectations.

When True Lord Xuan Yang, upon hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, immediately gave a very positive answer.

This immediately caused the couple’s expressions to be stunned.

True Lord Xuan Yang smiled and said, ”Isn’t it strange? Just now, when answering this question from everyone, I clearly said that there wasn’t one, but as a result, when it came to you guys, I gave the exact opposite answer.”

Without waiting for the two to reply, True Lord Xuan Yang was once again saying:

“The reason why I said that to everyone is because in our Nine Elements Immortal Cultivation Realm today, it is almost just about impossible for an ordinary person to surpass the Ninth Grade Jindan.

Even if they surpassed it, they wouldn’t be able to survive the heavenly tribulation that follows.

So.

Instead of letting them harbor illusions, it would be better to be practical and not make that pointless attempt, as it doesn’t have any meaning.”

When the words were heard, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts had already set off shockwaves.

Sure enough.

Things turned out to be really as they had guessed before, the current Nine Elements Immortal Cultivation Realm already did not allow for the emergence of an existence that surpassed the Ninth Grade Jindan.

Did this mean that it would be just as difficult for them Jindan cultivators to achieve Heaven-level YuanYing as it was for them to achieve Jindan above the Ninth Grade?

“It seems like you guys have already guessed it.”

True Lord Xuanyang slowly spoke.

“In fact, there’s another thing I didn’t say just now, and that is that those who have condensed a Golden Dan above the ninth grade have almost a 90% or more probability of successfully condensing a Heavenly-level YuanYing.

This is also the main reason why I sighed just now, it’s really because in today’s Nine Elements Immortal Cultivation Realm, it’s already very, very difficult for someone who has surpassed the Ninth Grade Golden Dan to appear.

Under these circumstances, it is already the limit for cultivators of my generation to be able to condense a Heaven-level YuanYing.

As for the flawless YuanYing on top of that, it can only exist in legends now.

That’s why ……”

True Lord Xuan Yang’s face suddenly became extremely serious.

He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and said in an extremely solemn tone:

“If in the Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation World, a miracle really happened and a person who was lucky enough to be born with a Ninth Grade Above Golden Dan was born, then no matter what, it must never be told to a third person, including a close relative.

This is because once the news leaks out, it may be detected by certain existences, and at that time, it would definitely be a disaster of doom for them.”

A few words that immediately caused both the couple’s pupils to contract.

They had never expected to hear such words from True Lord Xuan Yang’s mouth.

This could definitely be considered a secret amongst secrets in the Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation World.

It was unthinkable that the other party had informed the two of them in this manner.

Did this mean that he had actually guessed something?
Without continuing to think deeply, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately bowed and thanked him:

“Many thanks for True Lord’s advice, we will definitely keep this matter in mind!”

“Good!”

True Lord Xuanyang immediately nodded gently.

Immediately afterward, he did not continue to say anything more, and after gently waving his hand at the two of them, he signaled for them to retreat.

After they bid farewell to True Lord Xuan Yang and rejoined Guan Xinting who was waiting on the other side, Guan Xinting immediately smiled and said to the duo:

“How was it? True Lord’s personal guidance should have made you guys gain quite a bit, right?”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately nodded with a smile and said, “It’s all thanks to Guan Xinting informing us of this news.

If it wasn’t for that, my wife and I, it would be impossible for us to have that kind of harvest this time.”

Both sides tacitly agreed not to talk more on this issue.

Soon the three of them were together, returning to the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City.

One month later.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Conference officially began.

On this day.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had just walked into the Ten Thousand Treasures Que Building when they met Guan Xinting, who had arrived here before them.

At this moment, beside her, there were two people, a man and a woman, who were clearly still following her.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, you’re here.”

Guan Xinting immediately smiled and took the initiative to step forward, introducing the couple:
“These two Fellow Daoists, they are both Supreme Elders of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Yun Xingkong and Qiu Wanzhu.

They are also Dao couples with each other.”

The Fire Cloud Sect that Guan Xinting was talking about here was a medium-sized Jindan Sect in Yu Prefecture.

The number of Jindan cultivators in the sect totaled eight.

If they were to place it in their Cangnan Domain, it would be a first-class Jindan Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Yun, and Wanzhu, this is Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that I mentioned to you earlier.”

At this moment, Guan Xinting introduced Jiang Chengxuan and his wife to Yun Xingkong and Qiu Wanzhu.

After both sides had greeted each other, the group of five, then arrived at the top floor of the Wanbao Que Building.

This was also the place where the Jindan cultivators were holding the trade fair this time.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan raised their eyes and realized that the number of Jindan cultivators who had come here at this time had already reached one or two hundred people.

And as time continued, the number of Jindan cultivators that came here was still increasing.

At this time, Ren Kongming, who was the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Treasures Que Building, smiled and came in front of the crowd, cupped his fists and gave a salute to everyone present, saying:
“Everyone, thank you for coming out of your busy schedules to participate in the Ten Thousand Treasures Conference organized by my Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City.

This is the trading session of my Ten Thousand Treasures Assembly, and according to the rules, in a moment, everyone can go up to the stage and present the treasures you wish to exchange this time.

Here, as the host of this trade fair, I will first throw in a brick to see if I, here, have what you all need.”

After saying that, Ren Kongming was raising his hand and waving it.

In the next moment, in front of him, four items appeared.

They were a fourth-order top-grade defense talisman, a pill that could increase a Jindan cultivator’s mana for thirty years, a fourth-order fixed-type attack divine power jade slip, and a fourth-order top-grade attack magic treasure.

Each of these four items could be considered valuable.

As soon as Ren Kongming took them out, the more than one hundred to nearly two hundred Jindan present all showed a look of longing.

In the end, these four items were exchanged by four late Jindan cultivators.

From this moment onwards, the Golden Dan level trade fair was considered to have officially begun.

Immediately, one after another, the Jindan of each family came forward and took out their respective treasures, exchanging them with the people present.

During this time, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Guan Xinting, and Yun Xingkong’s couple all had their own favorite things.

However, apart from Guan Xinting, who was fortunate enough to successfully exchange items with one of the Golden Dan, Jiang Chengxuan and the four of them were unable to conclude the deal as they had hoped.

The main reason for this was because the items they took out weren’t as good as the ones the others took out.

At this time, another mid-Jindan cultivator came up to the stage in the arena.

Only to see him take out two items from his own body.

One was a fourth-ranked ore called Red Wind Star Sand, and the other, a fourth-ranked spirit flower that Jiang Chengxuan and the others happened to need at the moment, the Clear Spirit Flower.

Seeing the Clear God Flower, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces couldn’t help but both be delighted.

Just then, they heard the mid-Jindan cultivator speak, “I would like to use these two items to exchange for a fourth-ranked Demon Pill, or a fourth-ranked life-extending spirit.”

As his words fell, the brows of many in the arena could not help but furrow.

Even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, their brows knitted gently.

Obviously, whether it was that fourth-ranked Demon Pill or the fourth-ranked Life Extension Spirit Item, its value was higher than the two items he had taken out today.

For him to use those two items and exchange them for a fourth-rank demonic pills or fourth-rank life-extension spirit, it was almost just an unlikely thing.

Just when everyone thought that this mid-Jindan cultivator would leave, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other.

Immediately, they saw Jiang Chengxuan get up and say:
“If it’s a fourth-order demonic pill, I just happen to have one here.”

However, before that mid-Jindan cultivator’s face showed joy, Jiang Chengxuan continued:
“But I think you yourself should know that the two items you took out, wanting to exchange them for a fourth-order demonic dan is still a bit short.

If you really want to exchange it, you’ll need to take out some other things as well.”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, that mid-Jindan cultivator thought for a moment, and then, from his own body, he once again took out an item.

That, was clearly a somewhat tattered piece of fourth-rank turtle armor.

It was considered to be a passable weapon refining material.

Of course.

If this fourth-rank turtle armor was complete, then its value would almost be second only to a fourth-rank demon pill.

It was also impossible for the other party to bring it out.

At this moment, when he took out the broken fourth-order tortoise shell, the meaning was already very obvious.

It was that he wanted to use those three things of his to exchange for Jiang Chengxuan’s fourth rank demon pills.

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t say anything else at that moment, but directly went forward and exchanged those three things with the other party using the fourth-order demonic pills.

I can’t say who lost and who gained, at most, it’s just a matter of what each person wants.

With the Divine Cleansing Flower, they could then use the Sanyuan Spirit Fruit to refine the Sanyuan Spirit Pill.

The Red Wind Star Sand, on the other hand, can try to integrate into his Blood Eagle Wings to see if it can make its speed increase again.

As for that tattered tortoise armor, its use was also clear.

It could be used to repair and enhance the defense of the Wu Ling Shield.

After all, in the battle with the three great demon kings back then, Jiang Chengxuan’s Woolly Spirit Shield was more or less so damaged.

At this moment, the trade fair continued.

About a few days later.

Both Guan Xinting and the Yun Xingkong couple had exchanged the treasures they wanted.

During this period, even Shen Ruyan, also exchanged for a fourth-order Thunderbolt Stone, turning back with some other fourth-order materials, can be upgraded to the fourth-order treasure level of her Falling Thunder Heavenly Seal.

Seeing the whole fair, it was already slowly coming to an end.

Right at this moment, a few more people walked in from outside.

They were all cultivators who had just gotten the news and hurriedly rushed here.

Among them was Shangguan Yongsheng, a fellow who had a grudge against Jiang Chengxuan and the others.

When the two sides met, their eyes couldn’t help but stare at each other.

Yet, no one said anything more.

Soon, Shangguan Yongsheng, as well as these last few Jindan cultivators who came in, presented their own treasures.

The bottle of fourth-ranked top-grade Jiao Long Essence Blood that one of them took out even made the hearts of many people present thump.

As everyone knew, there were many uses for the essence blood of demonic beasts.

Especially this Fourth Order Upper Grade Jiao Long Essence Blood, its uses were even more extensive.

Not only can it be used to make top-grade talisman making sand, alchemy, and so on.

It is an excellent material for refining the body.

The life essence contained therein is enough to allow a body refining cultivator of the same realm to take a big step forward in strength.

If Jiang Chengxuan could obtain this bottle of fourth-ranked Jiao Long Essence Blood, and then combine it with the Triple Elemental Spirit Pill, he would have a hundred percent certainty that his body refining cultivation would break through to the fourth-ranked level in one fell swoop.

At that time, his overall strength would definitely increase greatly.

If it was coupled with the fleshly aptitude Dragon Elephant Power, even if he was to face a late Jindan cultivator, he would not be the least bit weak.

As much as possible, he would try to manage to get his hands on that bottle of fourth-ranked top-grade Jiao Dragon Essence Blood.

After all, the essence blood of ordinary demonic beasts of the fourth rank was easy to come by, but this fourth rank top grade Jiao dragon essence blood that could be used to refine the body was really not very common.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately transmitted his voice to Shen Ruyan.

He was going to try to use a Jiejindan to exchange the fourth-order top-grade Jiao dragon’s essence blood with the other party.

Let’s see if the other party is willing.

Originally, with the resources they had at hand, they could have used the Sanyuan Spirit Fruit to exchange for a bottle of fourth-rank top-grade Jiao Long Essence Blood.

However, this kind of spirit fruit that could enhance the three directions of mana, physical body, and Yuan Shen would undoubtedly be worth a bit more compared to a Jiejindan.

Although each cultivator, in their lifetime, could only take one Triadic Spirit Fruit.

Even if it was refined into a Ternary Spirit Pill.

Between the two, one could only choose one to take.

If one continued to take it, it would no longer have any effect.

However, the number of these types of spirit fruits was really too rare.

Using it, the couple might be able to exchange it for something more useful, or better, afterward.

At this moment, the competition for that fourth-ranked top-grade Jiao Long Essence Blood among the people on the field was already very intense.

Seeing a young man with a rather arrogant appearance, he suddenly took out a Fourth Order Upper Grade Spirit Grass from his own body, and then opened his mouth and said to the cultivator who had taken out the Jiao Dragon Essence Blood:

“Fellow Daoist, my name is Shao Liang of the Mingzhen Sect, that fourth-order top-grade jiao dragon’s essence blood is indeed of great use to me, I still hope that fellow Daoist as well as all of you here will be able to give this face to Shao Mou, Shao Mou will be grateful.”
