Chapter 3776: Immortal Flame (None Today)

"A True Immortal Stage Bean Soldier!"

Wang Changsheng's expression grew serious.

Having been in the Immortal Realm for over 30,000 years, members of the Wang family had attended many auctions. They hadn't even seen a Mahayana-stage bean soldier, let alone a True Immortal-stage one. It was truly rare to find a True Immortal-stage bean soldier here.

"This valuable item is probably for barter," Wang Ruyan said. "If it could be bought with immortal essence stones, they would have been common long ago."

"The last time I saw a True Immortal-stage bean soldier was over 400,000 years ago. I didn't expect to encounter one here," a somewhat hoarse male voice remarked.

Due to the restrictions, Wang Changsheng didn't know where the voice came from.

"This item is for exchange only, not for sale. It can be exchanged for a manufacturing blueprint of the Immortal Extermination Cannon or materials of equivalent value." Lan Yingying's voice clearly reached the ears of every bidder.

"A manufacturing blueprint for the Immortal Extermination Cannon!" Wang Changsheng scoffed.

In terms of value alone, the Immortal Extermination Cannon's worth far exceeded that of a True Immortal-stage bean soldier. However, if it was just a blueprint, the exchange wouldn't be a loss. If he had the blueprint, he wouldn't use it for exchange.

He had already obtained the crafting method for first-tier immortal puppets and had gathered the materials for two types of first-tier immortal puppets. Crafting a first-tier immortal puppet was only a matter of time, so his need for a True Immortal-stage bean soldier wasn't as great.

Lan Yingying's lips moved slightly; she was clearly transmitting a message to someone.

A moment later, Lan Yingying closed the jade box, and with a slight flick of her wrist, the golden jade box flew towards a patch of green bamboo forest.

As the golden jade box flew into the bamboo forest, a white jade casket flew out and landed in Lan Yingying's hand.

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes and looked towards the bamboo forest, but her vision was blocked by a mysterious force. Inside the bamboo grove, Xia Sibing, Xia Qiyao, and Xia Tianxiong stood in an open clearing.

Xia Sibing held the golden jade box in her hand, her eyes filled with delight.

"A True Immortal-stage bean soldier! We have another trump card against enemies from now on," Xia Sibing exclaimed with joy.

She had exchanged a manufacturing blueprint for a low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannon for this bean soldier.

The Xia family had possessed the blueprint for hundreds of thousands of years. They had also gathered materials and had their clan's immortal artifact masters and formation masters collaborate to craft the Immortal Extermination Cannon, but they had failed.

The crafting difficulty of the Immortal Extermination Cannon was too high. After several failures, the Xia family gave up. There were other items capable of threatening True Immortal cultivators besides the low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, and the materials consumed were enough to buy a set of second-tier immortal formations.

"Exchanging a single blueprint for a True Immortal-stage bean soldier, this deal is certainly worthwhile," Xia Qiyao said with a smile.

Anyway, since they only had a copied blueprint, it was a guaranteed profit.

"To be willing to exchange a True Immortal-stage bean soldier, it's likely a Golden Immortal cultivator. There's no need to show off the bean soldier," Xia Sibing stated solemnly.

Xia Qiyao and Xia Tianxiong nodded in agreement. Naturally, they wouldn't spread the word.

"I heard there might be an immortal flame at this auction. If we can acquire a wisp of immortal flame, it will be much easier for Tianfeng to forge immortal artifacts," Xia Tianxiong said, his face filled with anticipation.

At this moment, Lan Yingying took out five shimmering silver talismans, their runes flashing.

"First-tier Immortal Talisman, the Immortal Puppet Talisman! It can create a false body with an identical aura to the main body, capable of using some of the main body's divine abilities, achieving the purpose of deception. All five will be auctioned together, with a starting bid of 500 immortal essence stones, and each bid must not be less than 50 stones," Lan Yingying announced.

"Immortal Talismans!" Wang Ruyan was somewhat tempted. Xia Sibing had used an Immortal Puppet Talisman to create a false body, deceiving Tan Hu and Wang Qingshan when they used their divine senses to investigate, preventing them from detecting any abnormality.

At certain times, the Immortal Puppet Talisman could play a significant role, for example, when being pursued, it was easy to deceive enemies using an Immortal Puppet Talisman.

"Five hundred!" "Five hundred fifty!" "Six hundred!"

Wang Changsheng spent 1,300 immortal essence stones to acquire the five Immortal Puppet Talismans.

Lan Yingying then took out several other types of first-tier immortal talismans, all of them offensive, and they all fetched high prices.

"First-tier immortal formation, the Hundred Fiends Immortal Slaying Array! It has incorporated the souls of ten True Immortal-stage demonic beasts. If you obtain more True Immortal-stage demonic beast souls, you can refine them into this array to enhance its power. The starting bid is 1,000 immortal essence stones, and each bid must not be less than 100." Lan Yingying declared loudly, shaking her sleeve as hundreds of shimmering array flags flew out.

"The Hundred Fiends Immortal Slaying Array!" Wang Changsheng was greatly disappointed. He had thought it was the True Spirit Immortal Slaying Array; though only two characters differed, the gap between them was immense. After multiple bids, this first-tier immortal formation was sold at a high price of 4,000 immortal essence stones.

After this immortal formation was acquired, Lan Yingying successively took out two more sets of first-tier immortal formations, both of which also fetched high prices.

"Second-tier Immortal Talisman, the Purple Light Soul Extermination Talisman, specifically harms the divine soul. These will be auctioned separately, with a starting bid of 3,000 immortal essence stones, and each bid must not be less than 300 immortal essence stones." Lan Yingying said loudly, holding three shimmering purple talismans in her hand.

"A second-tier immortal talisman specifically for harming the divine soul!" Wang Changsheng was filled with both surprise and joy. A True Immortal cultivator with a slightly weaker divine soul could be directly annihilated; this was a powerful weapon.

"Three thousand!" "Three thousand three hundred!" "Three thousand six hundred!"

The bidding was particularly fierce. Wang Changsheng acquired one Purple Light Soul Extermination Talisman for a price of 16,000 immortal essence stones.

Lan Yingying took out an exquisite golden jade bottle, pulled open the stopper, and a golden light flew out, transforming into a golden qilin. The temperature rapidly rose, the ground spontaneously combusted, and the void tore open.

The golden qilin's form blurred, turning into a golden flood dragon. Before long, the golden flood dragon transformed into a handsome youth in a golden robe.

"An immortal flame!" Someone recognized the origin of the item.

Wang Changsheng's gaze was fervent. If he possessed a wisp of immortal flame, his artifact crafting would be much more convenient, and it would also enhance his own strength.

"A wisp of immortal flame, for materials of equivalent value," Lan Yingying announced. The golden jade bottle in her hand shone with dazzling golden light, emitting a golden mist that enveloped the golden-robed youth and drew him back into the bottle.

"Madam Lan, I offer Nine Heavens Profound Gold and Outer-Space Meteorite Crystal for this wisp of immortal flame," Wang Changsheng transmitted his message.

Both Nine Heavens Profound Gold and Outer-Space Meteorite Crystal were materials recovered from that semi-finished product and could be used to refine a mid-grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.

The value of these two materials was not comparable to Lightning Platinum Crystal, but they were still very rare artifact-crafting materials, especially Nine Heavens Profound Gold, which was commonly used to refine flying swords.

A moment later, Lan Yingying transmitted a message to Wang Changsheng: "No problem, I'll exchange it with fellow Daoist."

With a slight flick of her wrist, the golden jade bottle flew from her hand towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng caught the golden jade bottle. After verifying its contents, he flicked his sleeve, and a green jade casket flew out towards Lan Yingying.

Lan Yingying caught the green jade casket, opened its lid, glanced inside, and nodded.

She took out a green gourd and said, "The soul of a True Immortal-stage True Spirit Golden-winged Lightning Roc. It can be used for artifact crafting and array deployment. The souls of True Spirits are invaluable. They can be refined into immortal artifacts to enhance their power, or into formations. The Golden-winged Lightning Roc is proficient in lightning techniques and incredibly fast in flight."
