Chapter 2860: Five Thunder Stone, Silk (Not Available Today)

Long Tianheng stood up and lightly swept his sleeve over the tabletop. After a flash of colorful light, over thirty types of materials appeared on the table. Seven of these were Dharma Idol materials, the majority of the rest were Tier-7 refining materials, and there were also five spirit herbs over 20,000 years old.

During the trip to the Beiming family's secret realm, Wang Qingxiao obtained many Dharma Idol materials. Most of them were stored in the family's treasure vault, while Wang Changsheng kept some, intending to exchange them with other Integration cultivators.

Dharma Idol materials are generally only exchanged for other Dharma Idol materials. Without them, it would be difficult for him to acquire more from other Integration cultivators.

Wang Changsheng exchanged a piece of Wutu Crystal for a box of Heavenly Sound Sand. The family's storeroom still held two more Wutu Crystals. The Dharma Idol materials he kept were relatively abundant, allowing him to exchange for various other types of Dharma Idol materials. This gave clan members more options, as the increasing number of Void Refinement cultivators in the clan required different materials to condense their Dharma Idols.

Chen Yueying glanced at the items Long Tianheng presented, but showed no intention of speaking. At her stage of cultivation, ordinary materials no longer caught her interest.

Her Dharma Idol was already perfected, and she needed to collect more tribulation-crossing materials. Long Tianheng, being merely at the early Integration stage, offered items that simply weren't worth her attention.

While Chen Yueying wasn't interested, other Integration cultivators were quite interested. Most of them were at the early Integration stage, and the items Long Tianheng presented were precisely what they needed.

Most of the items Long Tianheng brought out were exchanged, primarily for Dharma Idol materials and refining materials.

After Long Tianheng finished his exchanges, he sat down. True Monarch Jinhu stood up, flicked his hand towards the open space, and after a golden flash, a gigantic charred black fleshy orb appeared. The orb's surface had some protrusions and faint golden patterns that appeared naturally formed.

The fleshy orb had five small heads, each with a single eye and no legs.

"This is a Seven-Headed Blood Leech!"

Huang Yilong gasped, recognizing the origin of the corpse.

The Seven-Headed Blood Leech ranked seventh on the Myriad Insects List. It possessed powerful vitality, was brutal and bloodthirsty, and parasitized other life forms. It enjoyed consuming the vital blood of other creatures to nourish itself, and after its host died, it would choose a new target.

"A Seven-Headed Blood Leech!"

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Spirit insects in the top ten of the Myriad Insects List were extremely rare. He had only seen records of the Seven-Headed Blood Leech in ancient texts, and this was his first time seeing one in person, but unfortunately, it was dead.

Chen Yueying and the others were also somewhat surprised, but they didn't make a big deal out of it.

Huang Yilong's gaze was fixed on the Seven-Headed Blood Leech, his expression solemn.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what was the rank of this Seven-Headed Blood Leech when it was alive?" Huang Yilong asked.

"Tier-7 Mid-grade," True Monarch Jinhu replied. "This is its demonic core. When we found it, it was undergoing its grand heavenly tribulation. It was very weak after enduring the tribulation, so we easily eliminated it."

True Monarch Jinhu took out an exquisite bloody jade box and handed it to Huang Yilong.

It was not easy for demonic insects to cultivate to Tier-7. The divine abilities of a Tier-7 demonic insect should not be underestimated; they were no worse than those of ordinary Integration cultivators.

They had gone to the barren lands to search for a Tier-7 Nine-Colored Insect, but failed to find it. Instead, they discovered a Tier-7 Mid-grade Seven-Headed Blood Leech. If the Seven-Headed Blood Leech had been at its peak, they wouldn't have dared to provoke it. However, since it had just survived its grand heavenly tribulation and was extremely weak, they were able to eliminate it.

"A Tier-7 Mid-grade Seven-Headed Blood Leech?"

Huang Yilong's expression grew even more solemn as he communicated with True Monarch Jinhu via sound transmission.

Seeing that other Integration cultivators showed no interest in the Seven-Headed Blood Leech's corpse, and coupled with Huang Yilong's respectable offer, True Monarch Jinhu exchanged it with him.

If it were a living Seven-Headed Blood Leech, Wang Changsheng would still be interested, allowing his Wood Spirit to absorb its vital blood. However, this Seven-Headed Blood Leech had clearly been struck by a lightning tribulation, and little vital blood remained, making an exchange too great a loss.

The Myriad Spirit Sect specialized in insect charming and beast taming techniques. Perhaps the corpse of a Tier-7 Mid-grade Seven-Headed Blood Leech had some wondrous use for them.

Wang Changsheng and the others only knew that Huang Yilong had exchanged for the Seven-Headed Blood Leech's corpse. They didn't know what Huang Yilong had offered in exchange, but it was likely not tribulation-crossing material, as there was no mention of a Seven-Headed Blood Leech's corpse being useful for tribulation-crossing. At most, it could be used to refine blood-path treasures.

Huang Yilong couldn't be foolish enough to exchange tribulation-crossing materials for a Seven-Headed Blood Leech's corpse.

True Monarch Jinhu returned to his seat. Immortal Fairy Zique flicked her sleeve, and after a flash of purple light, a pile of items appeared on the table. There were Dharma Idol materials, but more prominently, demonic beast materials. There were three Tier-7 beast hides, with the Tier-7 Mid-grade Golden Moon Rhinoceros hide being the most valuable. Wang Changsheng had wanted to exchange for this hide to refine an inner armor, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Chen Yueying exchanged for the Golden Moon Rhinoceros hide. With the complete hide, she could ask Lin Tianlong to refine several more defensive treasures, which could at least help her withstand a few more lightning tribulations.

Most of the demonic beast materials Immortal Fairy Zique presented were exchanged, primarily by Guo Yulin, who was a Tier-7 artificer.

Time passed bit by bit. The cultivators came forward one after another, presenting their treasures for display and stating what they wished to exchange for.

Wang Changsheng exchanged for a box of Heavenly Sound Sand and a piece of Silver Gang Crystal, but his gains were not significant.

After more than half an hour, True Monarch Qingyuan stood up and presented over fifty types of materials for exchange. Ten of these were Dharma Idol materials, and the majority of the rest were spirit herbs.

"Is this Five-Thunder Stone?"

Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon a watermelon-sized stone. A faint spiritual light was visible on its surface, and wisps of electric arcs, of various colors, occasionally emerged from it.

"Precisely," True Monarch Qingyuan explained. "However, it has been exposed to Lethargy Spirit Qi for too long. If you wish to use it for artifact refining, you would need to purify it, which would be time-consuming and effort-intensive. You should be able to purify a palm-sized piece of Five-Thunder Stone from it."

This Five-Thunder Crystal had been contaminated by Lethargy Spirit Qi, greatly reducing its value. Wang Changsheng exchanged for it at a very low cost.

Other artificers had no way to deal with Lethargy Spirit Qi, but the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron could easily handle it.

With this Five-Thunder Stone, combined with Qianlei Crystal, refining a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure with lightning attributes would not be a problem.

Most of the items True Monarch Qingyuan brought out were exchanged, making it a relatively successful exchange.

When it was Ye Tongtian's turn, he presented over seventy types of materials. More than twenty of these were Dharma Idol materials, and there were also many demonic beast materials, refining materials, and spirit herbs over 20,000 years old. He was clearly wealthy and influential.

"I'm looking to exchange for Nine-Flame Jade, or other top-tier fire-attribute materials," Ye Tongtian stated. Nine-Flame Jade was a relatively high-grade Dharma Idol material. Not all cultivators from the Ye family practiced ice-attribute cultivation methods; Ye Tongtian, for instance, practiced a fire-attribute cultivation method. His Dharma Idol was condensed from Nine-Flame Jade, and if not for this, he wouldn't have come all the way to Xuanling Continent.

Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon a bundle of bluish-white silk. He asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Ye, why is this silk bluish-white? That's quite rare."

"This is silk spun by a Tier-7 High-grade Azure Jade Frost Silkworm," Ye Tongtian explained. "It's an excellent material for refining protective magic robes. The Azure Jade Frost Silkworm is a unique spirit insect found only in our Northern Ice Plains; it will degenerate if it leaves the Northern Ice Plains."
