Chapter 3778: Fire Blazing Divine Sand, Seven Flame Ganoderma

He planned to collect more true spirits' souls from the True Immortal stage, so Ye Haitang and Bai Yuqi could set up the True Spirit Immortal Slaying Array.

After bidding successfully for the Gold-Spotted Flying Frost Moth's soul, Lan Yingying opened a jade box. Inside, there was some golden-red sand, shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

"A box of Fire-Blaze Divine Sand! This is a core material for refining low-grade immortal-slaying cannons of the fire attribute. The starting bid is two thousand immortal essence stones, and each bid increment must be no less than two hundred."

Lan Yingying announced.

"Fire-Blaze Divine Sand! To think it's this material; this person's fortune is quite significant!"

Wang Ruyan exclaimed.

"Perhaps it was brought from the Chaos Continent. We don't know who this person is, to have such good luck."

Wang Changsheng commented.

On a low earthen mound, Qian Ming stood, his face full of anticipation.

He could see Lan Yingying, but not the other bidders.

To obtain the "Profound Infant Aperture Transformation Technique," he had put up most of his fortune.

"Two thousand!"

"Two thousand two hundred!"

"Two thousand four hundred!"

The price steadily climbed, quickly exceeding three thousand.

"Four thousand!"

Wang Changsheng spoke.

Core materials for refining immortal-slaying cannons were hard to come by. Since he encountered it, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away.

After several rounds of bidding, Wang Changsheng acquired the box of Fire-Blaze Divine Sand for five thousand immortal essence stones. As long as he obtained the refining schematic for a low-grade fire-attribute immortal-slaying cannon and gathered the remaining materials, he could refine one.

Lan Yingying took out a palm-sized Ganoderma Lucidum from a jade casket. Its surface displayed seven distinct colored patterns, resembling a fiery blaze.

"Seven Flames Ganoderma!"

Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. A 500,000-year-old Seven Flames Ganoderma could be used to refine the Seven Flames Pill, which helps open the fifth spiritual aperture.

"This Seven Flames Ganoderma is over 300,000 years old, and its root system is perfectly preserved, making it suitable for transplanting into a spiritual field."

Lan Yingying announced.

"We must bid for this Seven Flames Ganoderma!"

Wang Ruyan said, her eyes gleaming with eagerness.

Wang Changsheng still possessed ten drops of Creation Jade Dew. If he nurtured it to over 400,000 years, he could use the Creation Jade Dew to accelerate its growth to 500,000 years, then refine the Seven Flames Pill.

"This Seven Flames Ganoderma, over 300,000 years old, has a starting bid of three thousand immortal essence stones! Each increment must be no less than two hundred."

Lan Yingying declared.

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand two hundred!"

"Three thousand four hundred!"

The price continued to rise, and Wang Changsheng spent thirteen thousand immortal essence stones to acquire this Seven Flames Ganoderma.

The Seven Flames Ganoderma has high environmental requirements and can be used to refine various first-grade immortal elixirs, making it highly versatile. An ordinary immortal herb, even if it grew for over 300,000 years, would not fetch such a high price.

Qian Ming had presented various materials for Lan Yingying to auction, barely managing to accumulate eighty thousand immortal essence stones.

Lan Yingying flicked her sleeve, and a white-glowing jade ruler flew out, hovering in mid-air. The temperature rapidly dropped, large amounts of white ice chips appeared in the void, and the ground began to freeze, with the ice spreading quickly.

"A mid-grade immortal artifact, the Ice Soul Ruler! We are looking for items of equal value, whether materials or treasures."

Lan Yingying stated.

Wang Changsheng did not speak. If he were to present Thunder Crystal, he could certainly acquire the Ice Soul Ruler, but the Thunder Crystal's value far exceeded it.

Several cultivators sent voice transmissions to Lan Yingying, but none managed to exchange for the Ice Soul Ruler. The immortal artifact went unsold. This situation was not uncommon, likely because it was consigned by a Golden Immortal cultivator.

Lan Yingying flipped her right hand, and an exquisite golden wine jar flew out.

Lan Yingying flicked her sleeve again, and five round beads of various colors flew out, hovering in mid-air.

"A set of defensive immortal artifacts, the Five-Light Orbs. Each orb is a low-grade immortal artifact with astonishing defensive power. The starting bid is three thousand immortal essence stones, and each increment must be no less than three hundred."

Lan Yingying announced.

Complete sets of low-grade immortal artifacts were already precious, let alone a complete set of defensive ones.

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand three hundred!"

"Three thousand six hundred!"

The competition was particularly fierce, and the price steadily rose.

This set of immortal artifacts was finally sold for nine thousand immortal essence stones to a certain cultivator.

After the defensive immortal artifact set was sold, Lan Yingying announced, "This auction has now concluded. We will arrange for fellow Daoists to leave in succession. Please remain in place and wait."

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood waiting. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, ripples appeared in the void, and a burly man in a golden robe emerged.

"Seniors, the auction has ended. This junior will escort you out!"

The burly man in the golden robe said politely. With a hand seal, a golden light illuminated the nearby void, and a massive golden halo appeared. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan walked towards the golden halo.

Passing through the halo, their vision blurred, and they found themselves inside a wooden house, from which they then exited.

They stepped out of the general store onto a bustling street, where pedestrians flowed like a tide.

They wandered for two hours, then visited the square where rogue cultivators set up stalls, but gaining no new insights, they returned to their residence.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged, and began meditating and regulating his breath.

His biggest gain from participating in this underground auction was acquiring a mass of immortal flame.

Although this immortal flame was not ice-attributed, his Glazed Ice Flame could still absorb it to strengthen itself. However, it would take a very long time to fully absorb the immortal flame, and Wang Changsheng's assistance would be required.

Five days quickly passed. On this day, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan arrived at the entrance of a manor, where a plaque bore the large characters "Heavenly Craft Garden."

Two disciples from Hundred Refinements Island, both at the Integration stage, stood guard at the entrance with solemn expressions.

"Is Fellow Daoist Shen holding a gathering here?"

Wang Changsheng asked.

"Indeed. Seniors, you are here for the gathering, are you not? Please follow me."

A tall, slender young man in a golden robe made a gesture of invitation and led the way.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan followed the golden-robed youth into the Heavenly Craft Garden, passing through several arched courtyards and a long corridor, until an uneven wall blocked their path.

Runes flickered on the wall, revealing it to be an immortal artifact.

"Seniors, you must use your spiritual sense to attack the Exquisite Wall. Whether you can join the gathering depends on that; this is a rule set by Martial Uncle Shen."

The golden-robed youth said, pointing to the stone wall.

"Use spiritual sense to attack this object!"

Wang Changsheng was slightly taken aback. It seemed that to meet Shen Liming, one needed to possess a certain level of strength.

The centers of Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's brows glowed brightly, and each fired a spiritual blade, over ten feet long, which struck the Exquisite Wall.

The Exquisite Wall shone with brilliant spiritual light, trembled slightly, and then split into two, revealing a small bluestone path paved with pebbles before them.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, you have passed the test. Please come in!"

A clear male voice resounded.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan walked inside. After advancing several dozen steps, they found themselves in a grove of red peach blossoms. A red stone pavilion stood in the center of the grove, where over twenty True Immortal cultivators were seated, sipping tea and chatting. Huo Yushuang was also among them.

Wang Changsheng's gaze swept across the scene and landed on a handsome young man in a red robe.
