Chapter 1227: Co-Refining the Magical Treasure

A few days ago, he acquired a damaged spiritual treasure crafted by True Monarch Baibao. Although it hadn't been repaired yet, its power far surpassed that of ordinary magic treasures, making it more than enough to kill Wang Changsheng.

"We'll talk about it if the opportunity arises; such things cannot be forced," the Immortal of Fiery Clouds vaguely said. In a two-on-two situation, he wasn't very confident in being able to kill True Monarch Taihao.

"Of course, we'll talk about it if the opportunity arises. If you can eliminate True Monarch Taihao, I can arrange for Yuyan to be betrothed to you; she is my most beloved disciple." Yuan Gang's tone was full of temptation; he knew the Immortal of Fiery Clouds was fond of women and tailored his offer accordingly.

"Heh heh, easily said, easily said," the Immortal of Fiery Clouds chuckled, a lecherous grin on his face.

The Immortal of Fiery Clouds did not continue bidding, and Fairy Ziyue successfully acquired the Fire Sparrow Fan. The price was three million spirit stones; twenty thousand were paid with twenty high-grade spirit stones, and the remaining two million eight hundred thousand were low-grade spirit stones.

Fairy Ziyue held the Fire Sparrow Fan, her bright phoenix eyes filled with joy.

"Junior Sister Tian, congratulations on acquiring a spiritual treasure!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

"This is all thanks to Senior Brother Wang; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to acquire this spiritual treasure," Fairy Ziyue said with a sweet smile, appearing full of confidence. "I mainly bought it for research. In time, I also want to refine a spiritual treasure."

Wang Changsheng smiled without speaking. Just then, the silver-robed elder presented a blue brocade box. Upon opening it, two translucent green spirit bamboos, resembling glazed glass, were revealed inside.

"Two pieces of Thousand-Year Glazed Bamboo. This is an excellent material for crafting flying sword magic treasures. This item is not for sale, but can be exchanged for ice-attribute spiritual medicines of two thousand years or more, or alchemy materials of equivalent value."

"Thousand-Year Glazed Bamboo!" Wang Changsheng immediately became interested. Wang Qingshan's innate flying sword was crafted from Glazed Bamboo, but he only possessed one. It was widely known that sword cultivators with a complete set of flying swords possessed extraordinary strength, and Wang Changsheng had always instructed his clansmen to look out for Thousand-Year Glazed Bamboo, hoping to craft a set of flying sword magic treasures for Wang Qingshan.

"I'll trade two-thousand-year Vermilion Phoenix Fruits for these two Glazed Bamboos," Wang Changsheng said, contacting the auctioneers using a projection crystal, hoping to exchange for these two Glazed Bamboos.

Unfortunately, Wang Changsheng was unable to acquire these two Thousand-Year Glazed Bamboos through exchange.

"This auction concludes now. Next is the exchange session. Esteemed seniors may exchange items freely. We are not responsible for any oversight or misjudgment, but we can guarantee the safety of your transactions, so feel free to exchange." After the silver-robed elder finished speaking, he retreated to sit on a jade chair.

A ruddy-faced old man in a green robe descended from the sky, landing on the bluestone platform. The green-robed elder had a goatee, wore a green Taoist robe, and had a green gourd tied at his waist.

"Fellow cultivators, feel free to present your items for exchange; I will personally preside over this exchange session," the green-robed elder announced.

The Divine Weapon Palace held the Divine Weapon Convention, not hesitating to auction off a spiritual treasure, specifically to attract other Nascent Soul cultivators for the exchange of rare materials. Truly rare items are seldom put up for auction; most are exchanged through bartering.

"True Monarch Qinghu!" Wang Changsheng recognized the green-robed elder. True Monarch Qinghu was the Vice Palace Master of the Divine Weapon Palace, and his personal presence to preside over the exchange session demonstrated the Divine Weapon Palace's emphasis on this event.

Not long after, a servant in a green shirt walked onto the bluestone platform, carrying a tray covered with red silk cloth. He set down the tray and left.

True Monarch Qinghu lifted the red silk cloth, revealing a bone about three feet long, from whose surface emanated a faint golden glow.

"One innate spiritual bone of a fourth-tier Golden Carp Beast," True Monarch Qinghu announced, "to be exchanged for fire-attribute artifact refining or alchemy materials." A fourth-tier demonic beast typically only possesses one or two innate spiritual bones, which are the most precious artifact refining materials on its body.

Wang Changsheng and Fairy Ziyue were not interested in this spiritual bone. Had they been, they could have contacted True Monarch Qinghu using a projection crystal, and he would then have contacted the cultivator who offered it.

People successively presented materials for exchange; all were rare items, and the items they sought in return were equally rare.

After a short while, True Monarch Qinghu opened a green jade box and took out a fist-sized white ore. As soon as the ore appeared, the tabletop quickly froze, and the ice rapidly spread, covering the entire bluestone platform.

"One piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade," he announced, "to be exchanged for artifact refining or alchemy materials of equivalent value."

"Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade!" Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up. Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade was an ice-attribute artifact refining material second only to Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade. He was about to refine a long blade magic treasure, and if he could acquire a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade, the power of this magic treasure would be considerable.

"I will exchange a five-foot-long Five-Thousand-Year Snow Wood and a five-foot-long Thousand-Year Lightning Apricot Spirit Wood for this Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade. Additionally, I'll add a three-foot-long Thousand-Year Fire Lizard Wood." To acquire this Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade, Wang Changsheng spared no expense.

True Monarch Qinghu took out a communication plate and gestured on it for a while. A quarter of an hour later, True Monarch Qinghu's voice came from the projection crystal: "Fellow cultivator, this Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade is yours."

Wang Changsheng let out a long breath, his eyes revealing deep joy.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Wang!"

"Junior Sister Tian," Wang Changsheng asked, "after the Divine Weapon Convention ends, I plan to refine a magic treasure. Could you help me with it?" If Fairy Ziyue helped, the refining time could be shortened.

Fairy Ziyue gave a sweet smile and nodded, saying, "No problem, it's just a small favor."

Other Nascent Soul cultivators successively took out items for exchange. Wang Changsheng saw many good items, but unfortunately, the materials required for exchange were too rare, and neither he nor Fairy Ziyue could provide them.

After a short while, True Monarch Qinghu flicked his sleeve, and more than a dozen materials appeared on the table.

"Seven-Colored Exquisite Jade, fourth-tier Royal Jelly, Vajra Sand... and Blazing Dragon Ginseng," he listed, "to be exchanged for wood-attribute artifact refining or alchemy materials." Wang Changsheng's gaze was fervent; truly, as expected of the Vice Palace Master of the Divine Weapon Palace, to be able to produce so many rare items.

"Fellow Daoist Liu," Wang Changsheng inquired, "how about I exchange a five-foot-long Three-Thousand-Year Snow Wood for the Vajra Sand?" Vajra Sand was an excellent metal-attribute material. Wang Changsheng intended to refine a long blade magic treasure, and adding Vajra Sand could enhance its power.

"No problem, it's a deal." And so, Wang Changsheng successfully exchanged for the Vajra Sand. Fairy Ziyue took a liking to a fire-attribute artifact refining material, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in the exchange.

"This exchange session concludes now," True Monarch Qinghu announced. "Thank you all for attending the Divine Weapon Convention. For the next Divine Weapon Convention, we will prepare even more items, and we welcome all fellow cultivators to participate enthusiastically." After True Monarch Qinghu finished speaking, the auction also concluded.

After a short while, Wang Changsheng and Fairy Ziyue returned to their residence. Wang Changsheng took out a pile of artifact refining materials, and Fairy Ziyue sat opposite him.

He tossed the Sea Moon Gold into mid-air, then opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of blue flame, enveloping it. Fairy Ziyue then opened her delicate mouth and exhaled a stream of purple flame, also enveloping the Sea Moon Gold. The blue and purple flames intertwined, and the Sea Moon Gold slowly began to show signs of melting...
