Chapter 1946: Han Xueyao, Five Elements Thunder Xiaofu

Chen Feng took out a small, entirely silver-white seal. Its surface shimmered with runes, emanating astonishing spiritual energy.

"This is the Spirit-Suppressing Seal, a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure," Chen Feng announced loudly. "It's forged with some thousand-ton stones, making it a heavy-duty artifact. Even a sixth-tier demonic beast would be crippled, if not killed, if struck by it." He explained that Jun Stone is a special refining material, categorized into hundred-ton, thousand-ton, and ten-thousand-ton varieties. Ten-thousand-ton stone is the best, with even a small piece weighing a million catties, making it ideal for crafting heavy artifacts. However, ten-thousand-ton stone is now rarely seen.

"A heavy-duty artifact!" Wang Changsheng thought of the Ten-Thousand-Layer Peak he had crafted, regretting that it had been destroyed by the demon race.

"The starting bid is three million spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than five hundred thousand."

In a private room on the second floor, five men and one woman were gathered. The group was led by an elderly man in a green robe with somewhat cloudy eyes. He had a slender build and thin cheeks, giving him a frail appearance. Long Ziyun and Long Ziyue were also present; they were both disciples of the Long family.

"The Spirit-Suppressing Seal is quite good. We can bid for it to use as a reward for the next family competition," the old man in the green robe said in a low voice.

Long Ziyun nodded and called out, "Four million!"

The competition for the Spirit-Suppressing Seal was intense. After dozens of bids, the Long family secured it for a high price of fifteen million.

Chen Feng flipped his palm, and with a flash of golden light, a miniature boat appeared in his hand. The boat was entirely golden and shimmered with spiritual light. After he injected his magical power, the miniature boat rapidly expanded, transforming into a golden flying boat over a thousand zhang long. A lifelike golden flood dragon was carved onto its hull, constantly moving across its surface and emitting a resonant dragon roar.

"This is the Golden Flood Dragon Boat, a flying-type Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. It boasts exceptional speed and comes with defensive capabilities, making it an excellent tool for transporting goods or cultivators. The starting bid is five million spirit stones, with each increment no less than five hundred thousand."

The Golden Flood Dragon Boat was a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Wang Changsheng recalled that the Skywave Sect also possessed a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Azure Dragon Boat, but in terms of flight speed, the Golden Flood Dragon Boat was definitely superior.

In a private room, a picturesque young woman was sipping tea. She wore a deep blue, wide-sleeved immortal-style dress, her hair was styled in an elegant cloud bun, and her skin was as fair as snow. A middle-aged woman with large hands and feet and a powerfully built bald man stood beside her; both were Void Refinement cultivators.

"The Flying Sea Boat was destroyed by the Bat Clan. Let's bid on this item for travel," the blue-skirted young woman instructed.

"Yes, Third Miss," the middle-aged woman replied and called out, "Seven million!"

"Miss, we've been on the Xuanling Continent for quite some time. If we stay longer, we might miss the family competition. I heard this competition will select the next family head. If we return to the Azure Glass Sea Region now, we might still make it," the bald man asked with slight hesitation.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I can obtain that item, the Han family head position will undoubtedly be mine, Han Xueyao's," the blue-skirted young woman said dismissively, full of confidence. Hearing this, the bald man said no more.

After a fierce bidding war, the middle-aged woman, displaying her immense wealth, successfully bid seventeen million for the Golden Flood Dragon Boat.

Chen Feng flipped his hand and took out a golden porcelain bottle. From it, he poured out two pale golden pills. The surface of each pill featured nine miniature, lifelike flood dragon patterns.

"Two Nine Dragon Pills," Chen Feng announced loudly. "These are not for auction but for exchange for materials used to condense Dharma Idols, such as Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid."

Wang Changsheng stared intently at the two Nine Dragon Pills, his eyes burning with eagerness. Nine Dragon Pills can increase the chances of high-level cultivators having offspring. For those high-level cultivators yearning for a child, the Nine Dragon Pills are highly enticing. However, materials for condensing Dharma Idols are not common.

"Will materials of any attribute work?" a somewhat hoarse male voice suddenly resounded. Materials for condensing Dharma Idols also vary by attribute; high-level cultivators practicing different cultivation techniques require different materials.

"Not exactly. Gold-attributed materials are preferred, but other materials for condensing Dharma Idols are also acceptable."

"I have something. See if it can be exchanged for a Nine Dragon Pill."

Dozens of cultivators spoke up, wanting to exchange for the Nine Dragon Pills, and Wang Changsheng was among them. Some cultivators didn't need Nine Dragon Pills themselves, but they could be used for exchange with other cultivators. The Nine Dragon Pill was a highly sought-after commodity, easy to trade.

He took out five hundred catties of River Styx Water, hoping to exchange it for a Nine Dragon Pill. "This contains five hundred catties of River Styx Water, for one Nine Dragon Pill," Wang Changsheng transmitted, his voice heavy. Lu Tianhong had demanded one thousand catties of River Styx Water for a Nine Dragon Pill, so his asking price was definitely too high.

Chen Feng opened various boxes or jade containers, and spiritual light scattered from within, though others couldn't clearly see the contents. He took out a pale golden Dharma Plate and cast several incantations into it. After a moment, Chen Feng gave a few instructions to a nearby attendant, who then flew towards a private room on the second floor with the Nine Dragon Pill.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were exchanging for Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid? I brought Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid, and I still can't exchange it for a Nine Dragon Pill?" a somewhat angry male voice suddenly exclaimed.

Wang Changsheng frowned deeply. Even his five hundred catties of River Styx Water couldn't secure a Nine Dragon Pill.

"Senior, if you can provide a Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman, then there's naturally no problem," Chen Feng said with a bitter smile.

"What? A Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman?" Fairy Tianxue exclaimed, her eyes burning with desire.

The Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman is a sixth-tier talisman that can weaken the power of lightning tribulations. For Void Refinement cultivators undergoing a grand heavenly tribulation, possessing a Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman significantly increases their chances of success. Of course, if the grand heavenly tribulation is too powerful, the talisman's effect would be limited. For Integration cultivators, however, the Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman is less effective. The power of an Integration cultivator's grand heavenly tribulation far surpasses that of a Void Refinement cultivator's, and a sixth-tier talisman would offer little help.

Loose Cultivator Seven Gourd and Zen Master Da Zhi both looked towards the private room on the second floor, their expressions solemn.

In a private room on the second floor, Han Xueyao held a porcelain bottle in her hand before tossing it to the middle-aged woman behind her. "Jinyang, haven't you always wanted a Nine Dragon Pill to have children and grow your family? I'm giving you one," Han Xueyao said calmly, as if speaking of a trivial matter.

Jinyang's expression was one of excitement, and she choked out, "Thank you, Miss, for your generosity."

"Perform your duties well and don't think about other things. If we can obtain that item, let alone a Nine Dragon Pill, even a high-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure would be easily acquired," Han Xueyao instructed. Jinyang repeatedly affirmed, agreeing to the task.

"A Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman? May I ask if you have another one, fellow cultivator? This old man is willing to exchange Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid for it. What do you say?" a gentle male voice came from a corner.

"I don't have a second Five-Element Thundercloud Talisman. Fellow cultivator, please look elsewhere!" a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from the private room.

"Since there's no exchange, Young Friend Chen, please return the Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid!" Zen Master Da Zhi quickly interjected, "Fellow cultivator, wait! This humble monk will exchange something with you." His lips moved slightly, clearly transmitting a message to a certain cultivator.

"Alright, it's a deal. Young Friend Chen, send someone to give him the Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid."

Hearing this, Chen Feng dispatched an attendant to give the Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid to Zen Master Da Zhi. Zen Master Da Zhi then took out a silver jade box and handed it to the attendant, who in turn delivered the silver jade box to the owner of the Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid. Throughout this entire process, the owner of the Adamantine Forging Spirit Fluid did not reveal themselves.
