Chapter 1121: Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator Chen Yunhai

Tong Wan finished his exchange and sat back down. Huangfu Rui then stood up and took out more than a dozen items, including magic treasures, alchemy ingredients, artifact refining materials, formation flags, and spiritual liquids.

"I'm looking to exchange these items for ice-attribute spiritual herbs over a thousand years old, fourth-tier ice-attribute pills, and fourth-tier ice-attribute demon cores."

As Huangfu Rui finished speaking, he seemingly inadvertently glanced at Wang Changsheng.

Huangfu Rui was seeking to exchange for ice-attribute alchemy ingredients and pills. To Wang Changsheng's knowledge, Huangfu Rui did not cultivate ice-attribute techniques, so he was likely exchanging for a clan member. Some pills require ice-attribute spiritual herbs to neutralize their properties.

Wang Qingling raised an Ice Wind Dragon, and Wang Ruyan nurtured two Jade-Eyed Frost Silkworms. Wang Changsheng also needed ice-attribute alchemy ingredients or pills, but the items Huangfu Rui offered were not worth an exchange for Wang Changsheng.

The exchange session lasted for over half an hour; some successfully made exchanges, while others did not.

After the items were exchanged, everyone began discussing their cultivation experiences. While they naturally wouldn't reveal their specific cultivation techniques and their discussions were somewhat vague, there were still valuable points to learn from.

As the Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged cultivation insights, the Treasure Hunt Competition entered its top 100 advancement rounds.

After the first round of matches, 760 participants advanced to the second round. After several more rounds, 181 contestants remained. Several matches were fiercely contested, resulting in severe injuries to both participants, who were then ruled a draw and both eliminated.

Wang Youwei stood on the arena, appearing somewhat nervous. His opponent was an alluring young woman in a red dress, at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Wang Youwei didn't have many special techniques. The participants in the Treasure Hunt Competition were generally strong, and in the previous rounds, to win, Wang Youwei had almost revealed all his trump cards. He won mainly by relying on two high-grade second-tier puppet beasts, a magic treasure that could immobilize opponents' magic treasures, and a flying needle magic treasure.

Of course, he still had trump cards, and at this point, he could no longer conceal them.

Wang Youwei controlled his two second-tier puppet beasts to charge at his opponent, while also summoning a palm-sized white command flag and waving it frantically.

A strong wind arose, and a large expanse of white cold wind swept forth.

A huge dark cloud suddenly appeared above their heads, churning violently, and pea-sized snowflakes drifted down from high above.

The young woman in the red dress summoned a red jade bottle, from which a large expanse of crimson flames erupted, shielding her body.

As the snowflakes approached within three zhang of the young woman in the red dress, they rapidly vanished.

The young woman in the red dress summoned nine red flying knives, which struck the two second-tier puppet beasts, producing dull clanging sounds.

She seemed to grow impatient. Her hand seals changed, and she cast an incantation into the red jade bottle. The flames flared brightly, and a crimson firebird, about a zhang in size, flew out from the flames, carrying astonishing heat as it swooped towards her opponent.

"Magic Treasure Transformation!"

Wang Youwei's expression became solemn. He quickly summoned his mirror magic treasure, which emitted a beam of radiant light, instantly enveloping the crimson firebird. The firebird was immediately immobilized, unable to move.

The young woman in the red dress changed her hand seals, and countless runes appeared on her body. Suddenly, clusters of crimson light appeared in the air, hanging in mid-air like a meteor shower.

Hundreds of crimson fireballs smashed towards her opponent, creating a terrifying momentum.

A fierce wind picked up, and countless snowflakes danced, forming a white snow wall several zhang high that blocked Wang Youwei.

A rumbling sound erupted! The white snow wall was shattered into pieces, and a powerful shockwave rolled out.

The young woman in the red dress opened her mouth, and a cluster of cyan flames flew out. After a flicker, it transformed into a palm-sized cyan firebird and swooped towards her opponent.

The cyan firebird was a secret flame she had cultivated for many years, far superior to ordinary flames.

Wang Youwei blocked all the crimson fireballs, and the cyan firebird also reached him.

A clear bird cry echoed as the cyan firebird crashed into Wang Youwei's protective spiritual light, transforming into a mass of cyan flames that engulfed Wang Youwei's body.

Moments later, the flames dissipated, revealing a faint silver talisman that spontaneously ignited without wind.

"A Shadow Talisman!"

The young woman in the red dress's expression became very grim. A Shadow Talisman is a second-tier talisman capable of replicating the appearance and aura of the original body, though its drawback is its inability to move.

A dazzling blue light flared in the nearby void, revealing Wang Youwei's body.

He flicked his sleeve, and a palm-sized white circular wheel flew out. He cast an incantation into it, and the white wheel's light flared brightly, instantly transforming into a white giant crane about a zhang in size, flying towards his opponent.

At the same time, a strong wind swept up, and countless snowflakes danced in the wind, transforming into white ice blades that eagerly slashed towards the cyan firebird.

The young woman in the red dress's beautiful face changed drastically. As she tried to summon a magic treasure to defend, the ape puppet beast suddenly sprayed out a shimmering golden soundwave and a large expanse of golden light from its mouth. Meanwhile, the giant crab puppet beast shot out a large volley of blue water arrows, and the white giant crane fiercely flapped its wings, sending countless dense white feathers shooting forth.

A series of rumbling sounds erupted! The young woman in the red dress's protective spiritual light was shattered, and the white giant crane clawed through her clothes, revealing a red mandarin duck-embroidered inner garment. Had Wang Youwei not held back, she would have died.

"Wang Youwei wins!"

Wang Youwei let out a sigh of relief. The young woman in the red dress was wary of the mirror magic treasure in his hand, so it was impossible for her to immediately reveal her trump cards. He simply employed a scheme within a scheme, luring his opponent to use her trump card before reappearing and using his own trump card, the Ice Crane Wheel, to attack her. The Ice Crane Wheel had the spirit of a high-grade second-tier Ice Moon Crane refined into it, allowing it to transform and attack.

By this time, most of the matches on the other arenas had concluded.

Wang Youwei jumped off the arena and looked towards a certain arena.

Wang Jiyun controlled nine blue flying swords, releasing dense blue sword light to attack a handsome young man in a blue shirt.

The young man in the blue shirt was Chen Yunhai, a water-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator and a disciple of True Lord Qunyang, He Bin.

Chen Yunhai was skilled in water-element spells. He swiped his hands through the air, and countless blue lights emerged, forming a thick blue water curtain that shielded him.

Wang Jiyun frowned slightly, and her sword incantation changed. A dull humming sound echoed in the void, which twisted, and a blue cloud mass dozens of zhang in size appeared out of thin air.

The blue cloud mass churned violently, and pea-sized raindrops poured down. After a flicker, each raindrop transformed into a blue flying sword about a foot long, which shot towards Chen Yunhai.

The area within dozens of zhang was completely enveloped by the blue flying swords.

Chen Yunhai stood motionless, his body pierced by the dense blue flying swords, transforming into countless blue water mists. Clearly, it was a decoy.

"Water Image Technique!"

Wang Jiyun's brows furrowed tightly. She suddenly realized something, flipped her jade hand, and a shimmering blue flying sword appeared in her hand.

Just then, countless blue lights flared behind her, and Chen Yunhai suddenly appeared, enveloped by a large expanse of blue water mist.

Countless blue lights surged from his right fist, and he struck towards Wang Jiyun's protective spiritual light.

With a dull thud, Chen Yunhai's right fist was blocked by Wang Jiyun's protective spiritual light. However, countless seawater appeared out of thin air, enveloping Wang Jiyun.

Wang Jiyun felt an irresistible gravitational force descend upon her. Her protective spiritual light instantly shattered, and her body stiffened, unable to move.

"Chen Yunhai wins!" the referee shouted loudly.

The blue light on Chen Yunhai's hand dissipated, and the seawater enveloping Wang Jiyun also receded. Wang Jiyun's clothes were soaked, her voluptuous figure vaguely visible.

Wang Youwei quickly stepped onto the arena, took out a blue cloak, and draped it over Wang Jiyun.

"Thank you for the match, Fairy Wang," Chen Yunhai said humbly, cupping his hands, before jumping off the arena.
