Chapter 3333: Exchange Putuo Tan Flame Talisman (Sold Out Today)

"I'm not clear on the details; they didn't say. The Wang family was eager to recall two Integration cultivators, so their losses must be significant. Zhenhai Palace has already agreed to this." Lin Sen also didn't know the full story.

"Hmph, our forces are at their peak. We don't have spare personnel to send to the Wang family; let them deal with it themselves!" Liu Yao said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Exactly. True Monarch Overlord Blade and his group have already captured Golden Tiger Valley. Their stronghold there is very strong and doesn't need support." "That's right. Even mid-Integration cultivators are no match for True Monarch Overlord Blade in a one-on-one fight. And there are also True Monarch Golden Crow and True Monarch Pure Yang; their power is considerable. True Monarch Golden Crow, in particular, can control demonic beasts in combat, almost like a human-shaped Flute of Ten Thousand Beasts."

In this racial war, several elite human Integration cultivators emerged. Cheng Zhenyu, Zheng Nan, Wang Yidao, Gongsun Yang, Sun Tianhu, Li Zonghai, Song Yunlong, Wang Lihe, Liu Yao, Li Qiuyue, Lin Ziqilin, and Lin Zilin all performed exceptionally well. Wang Yidao and Gongsun Yang, in particular, each managed to kill a mid-Integration foreign race in one-on-one combat.

Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan teamed up to eliminate a mid-Integration Multi-Eyed race member, while Liu Yao killed four early-Integration foreign race members.

Li Zonghai’s performance was striking, as he eliminated two early-Integration Bone race members.

Lin Ziqilin and Lin Zilin also performed well, each having killed an early-Integration foreign race member.

The older generation of Integration cultivators, such as Huang Yilong, Liu Yilong, True Monarch Golden Cauldron, and True Monarch Thunder Dragon, have successively perished under the Great Heavenly Tribulation, while the new generation of Integration cultivators has risen.

A number of experts also emerged from the foreign races, including Bone You and Bone Hao from the Bone race, Ape Tiger from the Beastman race, Mo Xuan from the Multi-Eyed race, and Xuan Miao and Qing Chu from the Spirit race. Notably, Xuan Miao of the Spirit race possesses mid-Integration cultivation, is skilled in water-element divine abilities, and has so far eliminated four Integration cultivators.

Many Integration cultivators were unwilling to provide support. Lin Sen had only mentioned it casually and had no intention of dispatching Integration cultivators. The loss of two Integration cultivators would not impact the overall situation.

Feiyun Island is an island controlled by Zhenhai Palace.

Song Yuchan, Lin Youxin, Qian Hai, and Yang Xiaoyao stood solemnly atop a high peak.

Following their gaze, a seven-colored thundercloud could be seen.

Li Yan was undergoing his sixth Great Heavenly Tribulation, a stage that was incredibly difficult to overcome.

Rumbling thunder filled the air as a thick, seven-colored lightning bolt struck down, swiftly followed by a second and a third.

After the sixth seven-colored lightning bolt struck, the seven-colored thundercloud churned violently, then dispersed and vanished.

Song Yuchan and the other three simultaneously sighed. When an Integration cultivator faces the sixth Great Heavenly Tribulation, nine seven-colored divine lightning bolts are typically drawn. Since only six had struck before the tribulation dispersed, it clearly indicated that Li Yan had perished under the Great Heavenly Tribulation.

"Senior Sister Song, from now on, you will be the sect master of our Zhenhai Palace," Qian Hai said seriously.

Song Yuchan had always served as the deputy sect master, learning to manage sect affairs from Li Yan, and was already the chosen successor. With Li Yan's death during the Great Heavenly Tribulation, it was only natural for Song Yuchan to assume the position of sect master, a decision also reflecting Chen Yueying's wishes.

"Let's return first and report to Martial Uncle Chen," Song Yuchan said gravely. The four of them then left Feiyun Island.

On the Thousand Spirit Continent, at Heavenly Cocoon Mountain, night had fallen, yet the mountain was brightly lit.

A twelve-story white pavilion, adorned with the three golden characters "Ice Soul Pavilion" on its plaque, buzzed with activity as numerous cultivators streamed in and out.

Ice Soul Pavilion serves as the Ye family’s shop on Heavenly Cocoon Mountain, where they sell cultivation resources and procure various materials.

The Ye family maintains a good relationship with the Stone Cocoon race, which allows them to operate a business within the Stone Cocoon territory, collecting cultivation resources.

Ye Yibing is the shopkeeper, responsible for managing the Ye family's business on Heavenly Cocoon Mountain.

One day, Ye Yibing was reviewing the account books. With the upcoming auction, a large number of cultivators had flocked to Heavenly Cocoon Mountain, enabling the Ye family to acquire many valuable items.

A soft rustle of footsteps caught Ye Yibing's attention. She looked up to see a young man in a blue shirt with unremarkable features approaching. His aura clearly indicated he was an early-Integration cultivator.

"I am Ye Yibing. How may I be of service to you, fellow Daoist?" Ye Yibing said with a smile, putting away her account books.

"I heard your esteemed shop acquires materials. I wonder if you would be interested in this item?" The blue-shirted youth's voice was slightly hoarse as he produced an exquisite golden jade box and handed it to Ye Yibing.

Ye Yibing showed no surprise. She opened the lid, revealing a piece of golden ore inside, which appeared entirely unremarkable.

She examined it carefully but couldn't identify what it was.

She took out a light golden spell disc, infused it with a spiritual art, and respectfully said, "Ancestor Mingkai, there's a material I can't identify. Would you mind coming down to take a look?"

"Understood, I'll be right there," an old male voice responded.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I've asked Ancestor Mingkai to come and examine it," Ye Yibing explained.

Since the other party hadn't specified the material, she found it difficult to inquire. If she were to knowingly deceive him about a valuable item, it would ruin the Ye family's reputation; similarly, misidentifying the material would be a disgrace.

The blue-shirted youth nodded and waited patiently.

A young and beautiful white-robed attendant then brought over a cup of fragrant tea, set it down, and quietly withdrew.

"Fellow Daoist, please try our Ye family's exclusive spiritual tea, Ice Silkworm Tea!" Ye Yibing offered with a smile.

"It's more important to attend to business. The tea can wait," the blue-shirted youth replied, showing no inclination to drink.

Ye Yibing did not press the matter. Shortly after, a slightly hunched old man in white robes descended from upstairs. He had a fair, clean-shaven face and appeared spirited.

"Ancestor Mingkai! Please take a look," Ye Yibing said, handing him the ore.

Ye Mingkai wasted no time. He walked over to Ye Yibing, picked up the golden ore, and examined it meticulously.

After a moment, he set down the golden jade and politely suggested, "Fellow Daoist, perhaps we should discuss this in a private guest room?"

The blue-shirted youth nodded, put away the golden jade, and followed Ye Mingkai into a guest room.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I presume you've recognized this item by now," the blue-shirted youth began.

"This item is Taiyi Golden Crystal, suitable for refining Post-Heaven Profound Heaven Treasures. Fellow Daoist, please name your price, and our Ye family will acquire it. If you're unwilling to sell, that's perfectly fine; you can contact our Ye family whenever you've considered it," Ye Mingkai said sincerely.

"I would like these items. See if this is acceptable," the blue-shirted youth said, producing a blue jade slip and handing it to Ye Mingkai.

Ye Mingkai scanned it with his spiritual sense, his brow furrowing deeply. He then said, "The other items are manageable, but for the Pudu Tangyan Talisman, we can only offer one at most. After all, it's an eighth-tier talisman, specifically designed to restrain outer realm demons."

"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Ye, while the Pudu Tangyan Talisman is certainly precious, is Taiyi Golden Crystal a common material? Contact someone who has the authority to make a decision, then speak with me. I trusted your Ye family, which is why I sought you out; otherwise, I would have exchanged it with the Stone Cocoon race long ago," the blue-shirted youth chuckled, speaking meaningfully.

Ye Mingkai took out a white spell disc, infused it with a spiritual art, and made a series of gestures.

"Fellow Daoist, we can give you two Pudu Tangyan Talismans," Ye Mingkai said gravely, "however, we have a small request: should you acquire more Taiyi Golden Crystal in the future, we hope you will prioritize our Ye family."

The Pudu Tangyan Talisman was indeed precious, especially for Integration cultivators. However, for Mahayana cultivators, Taiyi Golden Crystal held far greater value. After all, cultivators at the Mahayana stage generally had little use for the single-use Pudu Tangyan Talisman. Taiyi Golden Crystal, conversely, could be refined into a Post-Heaven Profound Heaven Treasure which, unless severely damaged, could be used indefinitely.

"No problem," the blue-shirted youth agreed, "but I require the Pudu Tangyan Talismans immediately."
