Chapter 3481: Exchange Resources

"I also encountered True Spirit descendants. Fortunately, my defensive divine abilities are quite strong, otherwise I would have been in trouble too." Chen Yueying's face showed a lingering fear. She thought of something, looked at Wang Changsheng, and asked, "Junior Brother Wang, have you encountered any True Spirit descendants?"

"Yes, a Human-faced Owl and a Dragon Spider. We almost lost our lives. There was even a Sky-Swallowing Rat."

Wang Changsheng's face showed a fearful expression. Since neither Ye Yuhuan nor Chen Yueying had an easy time, he naturally couldn't appear too relaxed.

"True Spirits? Madam Ye, I have also visited two cultivation sites left by Mahayana cultivators. The number of eighth-order demonic beasts usually isn't that high. Are there too many eighth-order demonic beasts in Heavenly Venerable Xuanling's cultivation site? And True Spirits? Even if they were left by Heavenly Venerable Xuanling, after so many years, shouldn't they all be dead?"Heavenly River Sword Sovereign's face was full of confusion.

"There are pure-blood True Spirits, and there are also demonic beasts that cultivate to become True Spirits later in life. Taking the Three-legged Golden Crow as an example, the Seven-legged Golden Crow and the Three-headed Golden Crow are both descendants of the Three-legged Golden Crow who have forged their own paths. It's likely that the cultivation resources in the site are abundant, allowing demonic beasts to cultivate into True Spirits."Ye Yuhuan analyzed.

"Cultivating to become a True Spirit? Madam Ye, what's the difference between a True Spirit and an eighth-order demonic beast? Is it just their divine abilities?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously. He didn't know much about True Spirits and had always thought they were all born that way. "Human cultivators start low but have no upper limit; even mortals have a chance to become cultivators. According to our clansmen in the immortal realm, a mortal once refined a special immortal wood, becoming an immortal body, and cultivated to the True Immortal realm within ten thousand years. Demonic beasts start high, but they have an upper limit. Generally, when a demonic beast's bloodline purity reaches five, it can transform into human form or at least speak human language. With spirit elixirs that can awaken intelligence, they can transform into human form earlier."

"For exceptionally powerful demonic beasts, such as True Spirit descendants, their transformation into human form occurs later. When their bloodline purity reaches nine, they become a True Spirit. Bloodline purity is not directly proportional to a demonic beast's rank. Some eighth-order demonic beasts whose bloodline purity hasn't reached five cannot speak, while some fifth-order demonic beasts whose bloodline purity reaches five can transform or speak human language."Ye Yuhuan slowly explained.

"Isn't that just like cultivators? Some cultivators are still in the Nascent Soul stage at a thousand years old, while others have already advanced to the Void Refinement stage by that age."Chen Yueying said with a smile.

Ye Yuhuan nodded, "You could say that. However, True Spirits' divine abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary demonic beasts. It's also fortunate that I have the Transcendent Spirit Treasure Ship, and its cultivation level wasn't extremely high, otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped."

"An immortal body! Cultivating to the True Immortal realm within ten thousand years! What kind of immortal wood is that powerful?"Wang Changsheng was secretly astonished. He had thought that spirit bodies cultivated quickly enough, but immortal bodies were even more incredible.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard it's one of the Ten Great Immortal Woods and is extremely rare even in the immortal realm. It also requires the assistance of a special grand formation; mortals cannot refine immortal wood by their own power."Ye Yuhuan said truthfully.

"The Ten Great Immortal Woods, the immortal realm! How difficult it is to ascend to the immortal realm. I've heard that the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is immensely powerful; Mahayana cultivators from the three major clans have been struck down by it."Heavenly River Sword Sovereign sighed.

"In terms of undergoing heavenly tribulations, body cultivators have a considerable advantage."Ye Yuhuan said with a smile, her gaze turning to Wang Changsheng.Among the four present, only Wang Changsheng was a body cultivator.

"Body cultivators also vary in strength. Major clans must have had Mahayana body cultivators, but it's not guaranteed that they all passed the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. I've heard there are some spirit elixirs, formations, and secret talismans that can assist Mahayana cultivators in overcoming the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, such as the Glazed Jade Cage Fruit, one of the Ten Great Rare Fruits. It's said that as long as one isn't struck dead on the spot by the tribulation and still has a breath, taking it will restore them completely."As Chen Yueying spoke, her face showed a look of longing.

Wang Changsheng had also heard of the Glazed Jade Cage Fruit, but he had not obtained this rare fruit.

"It's not that exaggerated. While the Glazed Jade Cage Fruit does accelerate recovery for Mahayana cultivators undergoing the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, it doesn't mean they won't be struck dead. Fifty thousand years ago, True Monarch Tianluo of the Ancient Yin Realm had the Glazed Jade Cage Fruit, but he was still killed by the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and he was a body cultivator!"Ye Yuhuan dismissed the idea.

After chatting for nearly half an hour, Chen Yueying proposed, "Since we all made it out of the cultivation site alive, let's exchange materials! I'll go first!"

Chen Yueying took out many items, including spirit fruits, spirit medicines, eighth-order demonic beast hides, eighth-order ores, eighth-order demonic cores, spirit wood, spirit bamboo, and so on.

"Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit! Madam Chen, you're quite lucky."Heavenly River Sword Sovereign said with a smile upon seeing the Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit.

"One Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit can save an early-Mahayana cultivator thousands of years of arduous cultivation. Unfortunately, any cultivator can only consume one Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit. I'll exchange it for materials of equal value."Chen Yueying said in a deep voice.

She had obtained twenty-three Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits and offered eight of them for exchange.

"Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit!"Wang Changsheng's eyes gleamed with fervor. The Golden Thorn Fruit had a similar wondrous effect to the Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit, but the latter's effect was superior. An early-Mahayana cultivator could save hundreds of years of arduous cultivation by consuming one Golden Thorn Fruit, but there was no limit to the quantity; the more Golden Thorn Fruits consumed, the more powerful the advancement in magic power.

Wang Changsheng and the other two separately sent voice messages to Chen Yueying and took out their items for her to inspect.

Wang Changsheng exchanged three Golden Silk Blood Apricot Fruits, a large piece of Qianjin Fiery Crystal, and a section of Heavenly Crystal Wood for five Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits. Ye Yuhuan traded for three Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits. Heavenly River Sword Sovereign had already consumed Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits and was not interested.

The Ye family possessed a Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit tree, but it didn't bear much fruit each time, and its growth cycle was too long, so their stock was limited.

Wang Changsheng obtained many spiritual items that would assist in breaking through to the Mahayana stage. In the future, if new Mahayana cultivators emerged within his clan, the Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits would certainly be useful.

The Purple Jade Soul Fruit, Myriad-Joule Fruit, and Myriad-Spirit Dao Fruit were too precious; he was unwilling to exchange them for Jade Sandal Immortal Fruits. He could consume all his Golden Thorn Fruits, and their effect would be no worse than a single Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit.

The Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit was more effective for early-Mahayana cultivators; the higher one's cultivation, the less effective it became. However, the Purple Jade Soul Fruit, Myriad-Joule Fruit, and Myriad-Spirit Dao Fruit were different; they offered excellent effects even for late-Mahayana cultivators.

Chen Yueying was also very satisfied. The healing effects of the Golden Silk Blood Apricot Fruits were excellent, and both the Qianjin Fiery Crystal and Heavenly Crystal Wood were very good materials.

If she had known that Wang Changsheng possessed the Purple Jade Soul Fruit, Myriad-Joule Fruit, and Myriad-Spirit Dao Fruit, she definitely wouldn't have agreed to the exchange.

In addition, Wang Changsheng traded a low-grade eighth-order Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros hide with Chen Yueying for over a dozen spirit medicines and two pieces of eighth-order ore.

Ye Yuhuan and Heavenly River Sword Sovereign also exchanged for many items, and everyone was pleased.

Most of the items Chen Yueying had offered were exchanged, and she was very happy. She sat down, and then Heavenly River Sword Sovereign took out dozens of materials of various kinds.

"Primordial Magnetic Stone! Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you want to exchange for it?"Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon the Primordial Magnetic Stone.

"Healing spirit fruits and spirit medicines, elixirs would be even better. Eighth-order talismans are also acceptable."
