Chapter 1483: The Sunfire Eagle's Spirit Feather

Wang Mengyang opened the wooden box and took out a half-foot-long golden grass. Shaped like a miniature flood dragon and enveloped in a golden glow, it was clearly an extraordinary item.

"Dragon Transformation Grass!"

Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on the Dragon Transformation Grass.

If the Icewind Flood Dragon consumed the three-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass, there was a high chance it would advance to the fourth rank. For flood dragons, Dragon Transformation Grass was far more valuable than Sky Beast Pills.

Several cultivators, including Wang Changsheng, flew onto the blue platform to communicate with Wang Mengyang via spiritual voice transmission.

Generally, for consigned items, the consignor would be present at the venue, and Wang Mengyang needed their consent to facilitate an exchange.

Wang Changsheng took out an exquisite blue wooden box, handed it to Wang Mengyang, and transmitted, "This is a flying magical artifact, the Cross-Ocean Shuttle. See if you can trade it for the Dragon Transformation Grass."

While a three-thousand-year-old spiritual herb typically wasn't as valuable as a flying magical artifact, Wang Changsheng considered the three-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass to be worth more.

Wang Mengyang nodded, took out a blue magical plate, injected several spell seals, and made some gestures.

After a while, Wang Mengyang said to Wang Changsheng, "This Dragon Transformation Grass is now yours, fellow Daoist."

Wang Changsheng's cultivation aura appeared to be at the Core Formation stage, so Wang Mengyang naturally addressed him as "fellow Daoist."

"Wait," Huangfu Xiong said with a frown. "I want to know what he offered in exchange. Even two Nascent Soul-forming spiritual treasures couldn't acquire the Dragon Transformation Grass?"

Huangfu Xiong frowned, a powerful spiritual pressure surging from him. His primary goal for this trip was the Dragon Transformation Grass, and he was unwilling to let it go to anyone else.

An even stronger spiritual pressure surged from Wang Changsheng as he said in a hoarse voice, "Fellow Daoist Huangfu, I don't need to tell you what I exchanged for the Dragon Transformation Grass, do I?"

Huangfu Xiong's brows furrowed deeply. He had initially thought the other party was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, but unexpectedly, they were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which made things difficult.

"I am willing to exchange several treasures for the Dragon Transformation Grass," Huangfu Xiong transmitted. "Please give our Huangfu family some face, fellow Daoist. Should you ever require our family's assistance in the future, we will certainly not refuse."

Huangfu Xiong transmitted heavily. This three-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass was crucial for the Huangfu family's ability to cultivate a fourth-rank flood dragon, so he was naturally unwilling to let anyone else have it. To obtain it, he did not hesitate to leverage the Huangfu family's influence and offer a significant favor.

"Apologies, I'm not interested."

Wang Changsheng refused directly. Even if he revealed his true appearance now, he would not yield to Huangfu Xiong. If the Icewind Flood Dragon consumed both the Dragon Transformation Grass and Ao Qing's inner core, there was a high probability it would advance to the fourth rank.

A fourth-rank flood dragon could significantly enhance the Wang family's strength, as it was simply incomparable to ordinary fourth-rank demonic beasts.

Wang Mengyang quickly scanned the cultivators present and said with a smile, "I presume you senior cultivators have all heard of the Seven Avian Sect's guardian spirit beast, a fourth-rank Golden Phoenix?"

"What? Is the next auction item a fourth-rank spirit beast?" a middle-aged man with ordinary features and a terrifying scar on his arm asked curiously.

"You're half right, fellow Daoist."

Wang Mengyang flipped his hand, revealing a foot-long red jade box. He opened it to display a feather shimmering entirely with red light, causing the surrounding temperature to instantly rise.

"This is the natal feather of a mid-rank fourth-tier Blazing Sun Vulture," Wang Mengyang announced. "The Blazing Sun Vulture possesses a trace of Golden Crow bloodline, and our Skywind Business Alliance acquired it with great difficulty. When refined into a fire-element magical artifact, it can significantly enhance the artifact's power. We are looking to exchange it for materials of equivalent value."

"A fourth-rank Blazing Sun Vulture!" Huangfu Xiong exclaimed. "I recall that the Ye family of the Great Qin Dynasty raised a fourth-rank Blazing Sun Vulture. The Ye family rebelled and was annihilated by the Great Qin Dynasty. This natal feather couldn't possibly be from that fourth-rank Blazing Sun Vulture, could it?"

Huangfu Xiong said with some curiosity, as the Central Plains cultivation world was in turmoil with internal strife in the Great Qin Dynasty, and multiple cultivation families rebelling to overthrow the imperial family.

Wang Mengyang smiled slightly and explained, "This junior is not privy to such information. I am merely responsible for the auction."

Fairy Ziyue's eyes lit up. She possessed a spiritual treasure, the Fire Sparrow Fan, and refining the Blazing Sun Vulture's natal feather into it would certainly enhance its power.

As soon as he finished speaking, over a dozen cultivators flew onto the platform, communicating with Wang Mengyang via spiritual voice transmission, all eager to obtain the Blazing Sun Vulture's natal feather.

"Junior Sister Tian, this is the natal scale of an upper-rank fourth-tier flood dragon," Wang Changsheng said, taking out a blue wooden box and handing it to Fairy Ziyue. "It's an excellent material for refining wind-element magical artifacts. Take it and exchange it for the Blazing Sun Vulture's natal feather!"

The natal scale of an upper-rank fourth-tier flood dragon was even more valuable than the natal feather of a mid-rank fourth-tier Blazing Sun Vulture.

Throughout the entire East Azure Realm, upper-rank fourth-tier flood dragons were extremely rare.

Fairy Ziyue put away the blue wooden box and flew onto the platform.

Not long after, Fairy Ziyue returned to her seat, having successfully exchanged for the Blazing Sun Vulture's natal feather.

"This auction concludes now," Wang Mengyang announced. "Senior cultivators are welcome to freely exchange items. We will not charge any commission, but if you misjudge an item's value, it will not be our responsibility."

After saying this, Wang Mengyang leaped off the platform.

A cultivator wearing a black cloak took out over a dozen items and announced loudly, "Fourth-rank demonic beast materials: demonic cores, spirit essences, beast hides, and so on. Exchanging for materials of equivalent value."

Wang Changsheng flew onto the platform and carefully inspected the items. Finding nothing of interest, he did not initiate an exchange.

The cultivators present stepped forward one after another, taking out items to exchange with others.

Most of the materials presented were demonic beast materials. Wang Changsheng was interested in a few of them, but as the materials sought by the other parties were too valuable, making the exchange unprofitable, he did not proceed.

After more than half an hour, Huangfu Xiong appeared on the platform. He took out over a dozen materials, including Nascent Soul-forming spiritual treasures, fourth-rank demonic cores, and magical artifacts, stating, "I am exchanging for materials beneficial to the advancement of flood dragons. Fourth-rank flood dragon essence blood or demonic cores are also acceptable. As long as the items are genuine, our Huangfu family will absolutely not let any fellow Daoist suffer a loss."

Over a dozen cultivators approached Huangfu Xiong to negotiate, but no successful exchanges were made. Given Huangfu Xiong's status and discerning eye, ordinary items simply did not appeal to him, and he returned to his seat with a look of disappointment.

Fairy Ziyue flew onto the platform, took out a white jade bottle and a blue jade box, and said, "One bottle of upper-rank fourth-tier flood dragon essence blood and one flood dragon hide, for exchange with Nascent Soul Cultivation Pills or other fourth-tier elixirs. Please do not offer ordinary elixirs."

She was testing the waters, using the flood dragon essence blood to search for Huang Yuxu, while also gathering cultivation resources.

The cultivation speed of her cultivation method was very slow in its later stages, making it difficult to advance to the mid-Nascent Soul stage without the aid of elixirs.

Her words astonished the entire hall; upper-rank fourth-tier flood dragon essence blood was no ordinary item.

"What? Fourth-rank flood dragon essence blood?"

A man's voice, filled with both surprise and excitement, suddenly rang out. As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind swept through, and a burly old man in a golden robe abruptly appeared on the platform. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

He glanced at Fairy Ziyue and asked in a deep voice, "Fairy, I am Chen Ding, the Vice-Alliance Master of the Skywind Business Alliance. May I please inspect the authenticity of the flood dragon essence blood? It would help everyone make their bids, as flood dragon essence blood is quite different from other demonic beast essence blood."

Chen Ding flipped his hand and produced a blood-red jade ruler, intricately carved with a lifelike miniature flood dragon.

"Of course."

Fairy Ziyue nodded, picked up the white jade bottle, and cast a spell. A pungent cluster of bloody liquid flew out. With a gentle tap of her finger, a single drop of the bloody liquid flew into the blood-red jade ruler. The miniature flood dragon carved on its surface instantly came to life, emitting a deafening roar and glowing with a blinding bloody light.
