Chapter 3782: Ling Dou

After five sets of first-tier immortal arrays were sold, eight burly men carried a massive red iron cage onto the circular stone platform. Inside the red iron cage was a huge beast with a dragon's head and a horse's body, its scales were red all over its body, and it had a golden horn on its head.

A shimmering silver talisman was affixed to the beast's body, and it had a lazy expression.

"A True Immortal-stage Dragon Horse! It possesses the bloodline of a fire-attribute True Dragon, is exceptionally fast, proficient in fire-attribute divine abilities, and its bloodline purity has reached six. It has already transformed into human form, but its temper is volatile, so a beast-taming talisman is affixed to its body to prevent it from causing trouble," Sun Feng announced.

"A bloodline purity of only six makes it quite difficult to cultivate it into a true spirit. Without special opportunities, even if it cultivates to the Golden Immortal stage, it won't become a true spirit."A rugged male voice interjected, "Many Golden Immortal-stage demonic beasts don't even have bloodline purity reaching nine. The difference between a true spirit and a demonic beast is still quite significant. How could a true spirit be so easily cultivated? If there were a second-tier immortal pill, the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Pill, and the bloodline purity reached eight, the success rate might be higher."Sun Feng smiled faintly, then changed his tone and said, "This True Immortal-stage Dragon Horse has a starting bid of two thousand Immortal Essence Stones, with each increment no less than one hundred."

"Two thousand one!""Two thousand two!""Two thousand three!"The bidding was quite fierce. Owning a True Immortal-stage spiritual beast offered many benefits; it was excellent for both combat and guarding a home.

Wang Changsheng did not place a bid. Wang Mengli's bloodline purity had reached seven, surpassing Wang Lin, Wang Xiao, and others. A Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Pill had appeared at the underground auction, but it had been traded away.

This True Immortal-stage Dragon Horse ultimately sold for eight thousand six hundred Immortal Essence Stones. Had its bloodline purity reached seven, its price would have been significantly higher.

In a certain private room, Xia Sibing, Xia Qiyao, and Xia Tianxiong sat around a green circular table."Qiyun, this Dragon Horse is yours. Go and claim it! The organizers will help you implant a restriction on it," Xia Sibing instructed a slender girl in a red dress.Xia Qiyun acknowledged, then stood up and left.

Having invaded Heavenly Beast Island, the Xia family acquired numerous cultivation resources, making them incredibly wealthy.

After the Dragon Horse was sold, Sun Feng successively auctioned off five True Immortal-stage demonic beasts. Their bloodline purity only reached six, and most were at the True Immortal initial stage.

After a True Immortal mid-stage spiritual bird was sold, Sun Feng flipped his right hand, and a golden jade ruler appeared. The ruler's surface was covered with profound spiritual patterns."One Substitute Calamity Immortal Artifact, with a starting bid of five hundred Immortal Essence Stones, and each increment no less than fifty," Sun Feng announced loudly.

Items at the auction were auctioned sequentially by category, not by price. Typically, pills were auctioned first, followed by other items.

Wang Yidao had obtained a 300,000-year-old Nine-Yang Wood from a fragment of the Immortal Realm. All True Immortal-stage members of the Wang family already possessed Substitute Calamity Immortal Artifacts, so they had no need to bid on one. Substitute Calamity Immortal Artifacts could only be used by True Immortal cultivators. Due to the restrictions of the Grand Dao laws, cultivators above the Golden Immortal stage could not use them. If such cultivators were killed, their only options for revival were to use the Legacy List or challenge the Dao Artifact Qiankun Pagoda; there was no other way.

This Substitute Calamity Immortal Artifact sold for one thousand three hundred Immortal Essence Stones. Sun Feng subsequently brought out several more Substitute Calamity Immortal Artifacts, all of which fetched high prices.

One bidder, lacking sufficient Immortal Essence Stones, offered other items for bidding, including a 200,000-year-old Illusion Moon Grass, which could be used to refine Illusion Moon Pills.

Wang Changsheng successfully bid for this Illusion Moon Grass, intending for Liu Hongxue to refine Illusion Moon Pills from it, which Wang Mengli would then consume.

"Three Profound Sky Items, excellent materials for refining a set of ghostly immortal artifacts, with a starting bid of five hundred Immortal Essence Stones, and each increment no less than fifty Immortal Essence Stones." Sun Feng declared loudly, holding three black gourds in his hand.

Profound Sky Items were not considered rare in the Immortal Realm; a few would appear occasionally. If continuously cultivated, Profound Sky Items had the potential to develop into Innate Immortal Artifacts. However, the cultivation process was exceedingly long, consuming an astronomical amount of resources, and the resulting Innate Immortal Artifacts were often of low grade. Most immortal artifact refiners who obtained Profound Sky Items used them to refine regular immortal artifacts. Only wealthy immortals would expend vast resources to cultivate Profound Sky Items, hoping to cultivate a high-grade Innate Immortal Artifact, which was entirely a high-stakes gamble. It was rumored that the Nangong Immortal Clan possessed a top-grade immortal artifact cultivated from a Profound Sky Item, supposedly taking tens of millions of years, though the Nangong Immortal Clan had never confirmed this.

Wang Changsheng spent two thousand Immortal Essence Stones to bid for these three Profound Sky Items, intending to refine a set of ghostly artifacts for Ye Haitang. Ye Haitang and others were too busy to attend the auction, so Wang Changsheng and his companions would bid on items they needed.

Sun Feng took out a snow-white bamboo, complete with its rhizome, and said, "A 300,000-year-old Cold Flame Bamboo, an excellent material for refining ice-attribute immortal artifacts, or it can be continuously cultivated. The starting bid is five hundred Immortal Essence Stones, with each increment no less than fifty.""Cold Flame Bamboo!" Wang Changsheng thought of the immortal wood he had obtained in the Nine Flame Immortal Palace. To this day, he still did not know its origin, and searching the scriptures in the Heavenly Beast Sect's library had yielded no results. The Immortal Realm was simply too vast and abundant in resources, so it was not surprising that he couldn't identify it. Perhaps when his cultivation reached a higher level and he interacted with higher-tier circles, he would be able to recognize the material of that immortal wood.

Sun Feng successively presented several more immortal woods, all of which fetched high prices.

Three hours later, after a piece of ore was sold, Sun Feng cleared his throat and announced, "Next, we will auction the grand finale items. The first grand finale item consists of two low-grade spiritual beans produced by a Bean Soldier Tree, which can be used to refine True Immortal-stage bean soldiers." Sun Feng flipped his right hand, and an exquisite golden jade box appeared. He opened the box to reveal two glowing yellow beans inside.

"Spiritual beans produced by a Dao Soldier Tree!" Wang Changsheng's expression turned serious.

The growth cycle of a Dao Soldier Tree spans tens of millions of years, and it produces only a small number of beans each time, which contributes to the rarity of spiritual beans and bean soldiers.

"You actually managed to obtain two spiritual beans! Such precious items must be for exchange materials, right?" a melodious female voice interjected.

"These are items consigned by a client, for exchange for materials of equivalent value," Sun Feng stated.

"How about I exchange a Sumeru Gold Adamantite Stone for one spiritual bean?" Wang Changsheng transmitted a message to Sun Feng. The Sumeru Gold Adamantite Stone was a material restored from a semi-finished product, so exchanging it for a spiritual bean would not be a loss.

The value of Thunderous Crystal was far greater than low-grade spiritual beans. Spiritual beans were valuable because they could be refined into bean soldiers. As for the cultivation stage of the refined bean soldier, it depended not only on the refiner's skill but also on the grade of the spiritual bean. Spiritual beans were divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and extreme. Low-grade spiritual beans could, at most, refine True Immortal-stage bean soldiers. The grade of spiritual beans produced by a Dao Soldier Tree varied depending on the resources used to cultivate the tree and the cultivation skill of the spiritual plant master.
