Chapter 1443: Top-Level Escape Technique

A faint light shone in the darkness, allowing one to vaguely discern bamboo buildings hidden outside. At the very center stood a high platform, where Revered Master Chongtai was positioned.

After delivering his customary address, he promptly declared the trade fair open.

Qin Sang subtly straightened his posture.

The treasures listed on the earlier manifest would be presented first.

"I wonder what the owner of 'Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal' wants to exchange it for? I inquired with Master Yin Quan earlier, and there are no renowned body cultivators in the Waxing Moon Realm, at least. Since it's valuable but scarce, they shouldn't dare to demand exorbitant terms..."

Qin Sang weighed his options, simultaneously sorting through his own needs and what he could offer for trade.

First was the "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal."

Next was the final spiritual material needed to refine the Golden Sinking Sword, which he was very likely to acquire at the trade fair.

And the three main spiritual items for the Spirit Ascension Ritual:Primordial Yin Water.The fungus fruit of the Seven-Colored Ganoderma.Netherworld Soil.

The items required for the Spirit Ascension Ritual were very peculiar, including spiritual water, spiritual herbs, and everything in between. Qin Sang had never even heard of the third item, Netherworld Soil.

He wondered if merely four spiritual herbs would be enough.

Qin Sang thought to himself that while he possessed many valuable treasures, he had genuinely few he could offer for trade, as he hadn't had time to prepare.

Just then.

A bamboo building had, at some unknown point, been moved to the very center, beside Revered Master Chongtai. Its interior was shrouded in darkness, and no figures could be seen within.

Following this, a cluster of white light illuminated the bamboo building, and a mechanical voice emerged, with absolutely no fluctuation in tone: "Three star-feathers of a Yu Xing Bird, with the true blood of the Yu Xing Bird remaining at the roots..."

As the voice made its introduction.

Three feathers materialized within the white light.

Qin Sang, seated in his room, could see them clearly: these three feathers emitted a faint blue luminescence, their very essence resembling ethereal stars, constantly shifting.

At the base of the three feathers, within their transparent quills, was a drop of blue blood that seemed not yet to have dried.

At this point, others could extend their spiritual sense into the white light to inspect the treasure.

As soon as Qin Sang extended a wisp of his own, he immediately sensed a spiritual sense, brazen in its dominance, sweeping over the three feathers. All other spiritual senses hesitated for a moment.

"Great Sage Sky Roc?"

A thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind, and his spiritual sense swept over the feathers.

The star-feathers were incomplete and had lost their spiritual essence, making them difficult to refine into a magic treasure. They were clearly intended to attract demon cultivators to the assembly.

However, Qin Sang swept back and forth several times but didn't find anything unusual about the so-called true blood.

"The three star-feathers must be traded together, in exchange for at least a high-grade wood-element magic treasure, which must possess healing properties. If the healing effect is exceptionally good, the grade requirement can be lowered."

Before the words had even finished, a voice emerged from a bamboo building in the darkness: "I'll take the star-feathers. This is a high-grade wooden flute refined from the main root of a Drunken Cloud Tree."

Simultaneously, a bamboo building lit up with white light, revealing a wooden flute with a mottled appearance, which only the owner of the star-feathers could inspect.

"Are there any other fellow cultivators willing to make an offer?"

The owner of the star-feathers was silent for a moment, asked, and seeing no one replied, declared, "Deal!"

Two clusters of white light, each enveloping its respective treasure, flew into the other party's bamboo building.

Transactions needn't be finalized immediately; if unsatisfied, one could keep the treasure displayed outside, awaiting subsequent exchanges and perhaps an even better opportunity. After the trade fair concluded, a commission would be collectively paid to the Myriad Devil Assembly.

During this period, Revered Master Chongtai remained silent. Seeing the first transaction proceed so smoothly, a smile appeared on his face, his ear twitched slightly, and he said, "Next, please!"

That bamboo building retreated into the darkness, and another moved forward.

"Skyfall Iron, suitable for refining ice-element magic treasures..."

"Cold Bone Demonic Hand, an ancient demonic artifact of the Cold Bone Path, high-grade, activated by essence blood, it wields the power of a top-grade artifact..."

One by one, rare treasures that were seldom seen in daily life appeared in succession.

Some transactions were concluded, while others were displayed in front of the bamboo buildings, awaiting suitable offers.

"'Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal,' a Buddhist body-cultivation martial skill..."

Finally, the "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" that Qin Sang had been anticipating made its appearance. He grasped his jade token and saw a jade slip floating in front of the central bamboo building.

A Nascent Soul-level body-cultivation martial skill was considered a rare item even at previous Myriad Devil Assemblies. Qin Sang keenly noticed fluctuations of spiritual sense emanating from many bamboo buildings; clearly, many people were very curious about this divine ability.

"He hoped Great Sage Sky Roc wouldn't make a move."

Qin Sang reviewed his assets; he truly lacked the confidence to compete with a demon Great Sage.

Just then, after a brief introduction by the owner of the "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal," he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I wish to exchange it for a top-tier earth-element escape technique."

Upon hearing this, it caused a stir.

"Are you joking, fellow cultivator? A body-cultivation divine ability for a top-tier escape technique?"

Someone couldn't help but speak up; although their tone was flat, one could still discern the skepticism.

If the owner of "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" hadn't exaggerated just now, its value could indeed be equivalent.

But the reality was that body cultivators were almost non-existent.

At this moment, a voice again emerged from the bamboo building that had just acquired the star-feathers: "Fellow cultivator, why don't you release your spiritual sense and let us view a portion of the content? Only then can we properly assess its value; we can't just take your word for it."

Qin Sang's heart tightened.

The demon cultivators truly had intentions!

The owner of "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" did not respond to the skepticism, simply saying, "Alright!"

Following this, wisp after wisp of spiritual sense successively probed into the jade slip, all very curious about the body-cultivation divine ability.

The jade slip only revealed a portion of its general outline.

Qin Sang quickly browsed through all the content.

The "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" was actually seven types of Buddhist hand seals. According to the general outline, each seal was supremely rigid and fierce, possessing remarkably formidable power.

Similarly, wielding this divine ability would impose an immense burden on the cultivator's physical body; only pure body cultivators could withstand it.

Body cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could barely execute the first seal, while early Nascent Soul cultivators could only execute the first four.

This alone was enough to show the extraordinary nature of "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal."

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Sang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, according to the general outline's description, this divine ability was specifically created based on the characteristics of the human race. Even if demon cultivators forcibly wielded it, the power of the Buddhist seals would clash with their own bloodline, harming themselves before harming others, and its power would be greatly diminished.

Great Sage Sky Roc should not heavily participate in the bidding now.

Otherwise, the owner of "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" wouldn't have been so hesitant when proposing the conditions.

The problem now was that Qin Sang did not possess a top-tier earth-element escape technique. What could he use to persuade the other party?

A moment of silence fell over the island in the middle of the lake.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "I heard that ancient Buddhist sect ruins appeared two years ago. Fellow cultivator, you must have obtained the 'Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal' from there, correct?"

After a pause, seeing the owner of the "Seven Masters' Buddhist Seal" did not answer, the person continued, "May I ask if you have any other Buddhist cultivation methods or divine abilities in your possession? Specifically, those unrelated to body cultivation."

"Has a Buddhist sect arrived?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice but only saw darkness.

There was no news of a Nascent Soul-stage eminent monk appearing from any Buddhist sect. It was likely that a Nascent Soul cultivator had been commissioned to acquire it on their behalf.
