Chapter 1274: Nine Transformations Calamity Pill

"I'll go first!"

A dark light flew from a corner and landed on the circular platform; it was Fang Mu.

He revealed his true face, though he hadn't bid much on anything earlier.

He took out over a dozen items and placed them on the jade table, including thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, ores, demonic beast materials, and fourth-tier demon cores.

"I'm looking to exchange for fourth-tier demonic beast corpses, preferably those with gold-attribute, or gold-attribute materials for refining artifacts and setting up formations."

Fang Mu declared loudly, his expression indifferent. He was only missing gold and dark attribute Heavenly Corpses out of the nine types. Comparatively, gold-attribute Heavenly Corpses were easier to refine. To create a gold-attribute Heavenly Corpse, a gold-attribute demonic beast corpse was naturally required. The higher the cultivation of the corpse before its death, the greater the Heavenly Corpse's potential and its supernatural abilities.

The cultivators present stirred. Most of them didn't recognize Fang Mu and were unaware of his peculiar fascination with corpses.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan simultaneously showed a hint of a smile; Fang Mu was still the same.

Fang Mu had brought out quite a few items. Over a dozen cultivators flew to the circular platform to communicate with him via voice transmission.

Fang Mu completed exchanges with three cultivators. Judging by his delighted expression, he had clearly acquired good items.

After completing his exchanges, he flew back to his original position. Other cultivators then flew to the circular platform one by one, displaying the items they wished to exchange.

Due to the concealment of the green straw hats, no one knew anyone else's identity, at most discerning if they were male or female.

Wang Ruyan exchanged some demonic beast materials for two types of talisman-making materials.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wang Changsheng leaped onto the circular platform. He took out three items: a crystal shimmering with unstable blue light, a fist-sized Dragon Blood Stone, and an egg-sized Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade.

The moment the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade appeared, the tabletop quickly froze, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped, making one feel as if they were in a ten-thousand-year-old ice cellar.

"I'm offering Sea Dazzle Crystal, Dragon Blood Stone, and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade for fourth-tier healing pills. Please don't offer ordinary healing pills."

Wang Changsheng's voice was a bit hoarse. He had used the Azure Lotus Cauldron to remove impurities from the Dragon Blood Stone, cutting off a small piece for exchange. A small piece of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade was also cut off.

If he had taken out a watermelon-sized piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade, the three major merchant alliances would likely have been tempted.

They were injured and would need at least fifty to sixty years to fully recover, which was considered relatively fast. If it were slower, it could take over a hundred years.

With healing pills, they could shorten their recovery time.

This was also Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's primary goal in coming to the Central Plains Immortal Cultivation Realm, as it was the most prosperous commercial region in the Eastern Fence Realm.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade, Dragon Blood Stone, Sea Dazzle Crystal!"

The cultivators present stirred, and Zhou Tongtian's gaze fixed on the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade.

Jin Zhengguang's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade!"

Even an egg-sized piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade, when refined into a magic treasure, could greatly enhance its power. If the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade were a bit larger, it wouldn't be a problem to use it to refine a spiritual treasure.

Although the materials Wang Changsheng produced were indeed precious, fourth-tier healing pills were even more valuable.

Zhou Tongtian's figure flickered, suddenly appearing before Wang Changsheng.

In front of so many people, Wang Changsheng believed Zhou Tongtian wouldn't do anything foolish.

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to offer a Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill for these three items of yours. The Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill is our imperial family's unique sacred medicine. How about it?"

Zhou Tongtian took out a green porcelain bottle and poured out a pill that emitted a unique fragrance. The pill's surface had some golden patterns.

"One pill is too few. I need two. I almost died obtaining this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade, and a Dragon Blood Stone of this size is also quite rare."

Wang Changsheng said via voice transmission, his voice slightly hoarse.

"These items of yours are not finished products. For me to exchange one Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill for your three materials is more than sufficient. The Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill is our imperial family's sacred healing medicine; it's not comparable to ordinary healing pills. Unless, Fellow Daoist, you can produce another piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade or other rare materials."

Zhou Tongtian said via voice transmission.

Over a dozen cultivators flew up and sent voice transmissions to Wang Changsheng.

The items they offered for exchange were valuable, but Wang Changsheng was looking for healing pills.

He naturally wouldn't produce another piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade; that would be akin to courting death.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Jade isn't common like cabbage. A piece this size, when refined into a magic treasure, can greatly increase its power. How about I add ten jin of Heavenly Moon Divine Water for another Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill?"

Wang Changsheng haggled. Heavenly Moon Divine Water was not exclusive to the Wang family, so he could safely offer it for exchange.

"The Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill is our imperial family's sacred healing medicine. I don't have a second one on me. However, I can give you a Replenishing Origin Pill. Its effects are far inferior to the Nine-Transformation Calamity Pill, but it is also a healing pill."

Zhou Tongtian said via voice transmission.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment and agreed. Something was better than nothing.

After the exchange was complete, Wang Changsheng returned to his original spot. Wang Ruyan flew to the circular platform and took out over a dozen materials, looking to exchange them for water-attribute artifact refining materials or materials of equivalent value.

Not long after, Wang Ruyan returned to her original position. She had acquired a complete fourth-tier beast hide in exchange.

A cultivator leaped onto the circular platform and took out five items. Among them, a dark, pouch-like object caught Wang Changsheng's attention.

The Bloodthirsty Vine seemed a bit agitated. Wang Changsheng could clearly sense that it wanted something.

Wang Changsheng leaped onto the circular platform, picked up the black pouch-like object, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

"This is the poison sac of a third-tier high-grade venomous dragon, for exchange for materials to refine sound-attribute magic treasures."

A male voice emerged from within the green glow. The items he had taken out were all used by Core Formation cultivators.

Wang Changsheng frowned slightly. He felt the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Materials for refining sound-attribute magic treasures?"

Wang Changsheng took out a bundle of golden silkworm thread and handed it over.

"Excellent, I'll take this silkworm thread. It's a deal."

Wang Changsheng put away the poison sac and returned to his original position.

After the man completed his exchange, another cultivator leaped onto the circular platform and took out several materials. A pleasant female voice rang out: "I'm looking to exchange for artifact refining materials for flying swords."

"Cheng Zhenyu, Zheng Nan, is that them?"

Wang Changsheng had a guess. There weren't many female cultivators who practiced sound-attribute cultivation techniques. Zheng Nan practiced a sound-attribute cultivation technique, and Cheng Zhenyu was a sword cultivator, which matched these two cultivators.

"If it truly is them, we'll encounter them if fate allows. Fellow Daoist Zheng exchanges materials for Fellow Daoist Cheng to refine flying swords, and Fellow Daoist Cheng exchanges materials for Fellow Daoist Zheng to refine sound-attribute magic treasures. It's evident they're quite devoted to each other."

Wang Ruyan smiled faintly and said via voice transmission.

An hour later, the exchange meeting concluded. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan did not obtain any more healing pills.

Under the organizer's arrangements, the cultivators gradually teleported away, naturally returning their straw hats before leaving.

After regaining their senses, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan found themselves in the backyard of a bookstore.

Not long after, they appeared on a bustling street.
