Chapter 3783: Second-Grade Immortal Wine

In the Lower Realms, the profession of a Spirit Plant Master is not particularly sought after, and various powers do not value them highly. No matter how skilled a Spirit Plant Master might be, their primary role is limited to cultivating rare spiritual herbs and fruits. At best, some might transition into becoming alchemists. When it comes to combat, Spirit Plant Masters are generally not very strong. This is also why cultivators rarely choose this profession.

However, the abundant cultivation resources in the Immortal Realm provide a much larger platform for Spirit Plant Masters. Some high-level Spirit Plant Masters can cultivate new varieties of spiritual plants. Furthermore, they can also enable Dao Soldier Trees to produce high-grade Spirit Beans. Some immortals utilize these bean soldiers to deploy battle formations. When cultivators of the same rank are trapped by a high-level bean soldier formation, they will at least be severely debilitated, if not killed.

Bean soldiers greatly enhance the strength of Spirit Plant Masters. Major powers possessing Dao Soldier Trees place great importance on nurturing Spirit Plant Masters, because even among Spirit Beans, the difference between low-grade and mid-grade ones is immense. Low-grade Spirit Beans can, at most, produce True Immortal-stage bean soldiers. If the refinement skill is insufficient, these bean soldiers might only achieve the strength of the Integration stage. Wang Changsheng himself had obtained a Yellow Turban Bean Soldier in the Lower Realms. It possessed cultivation at the Mahayana stage and could directly withstand attacks from Xuantian Treasures.

Bean soldiers are somewhat similar to puppet beasts in that both require control by a cultivator. The difference is that bean soldiers do not require the infusion of monster beast souls; their divine abilities vary with their attributes and they are all primarily refined from Spirit Beans produced by Dao Soldier Trees. Puppet beasts, however, require the infusion of monster beast souls, and their divine abilities depend on their grade and refinement materials. Puppet beasts can be refined using ores and spiritual wood, or even the corpses of monster beasts or cultivators.

Shortly after, a knock came from outside. Wang Moxin opened the door, and a middle-aged deacon entered. He was a True Immortal cultivator. Wang Changsheng took out a blue jade box and handed it to the middle-aged deacon. After the deacon confirmed its contents, he handed a Spirit Bean to Wang Changsheng. After the middle-aged deacon left, Wang Moxin closed the door.

Wang Changsheng held the Spirit Bean between two fingers, observing it closely. The bean's surface had three faint, naturally formed patterns. Low-grade Spirit Beans have three patterns, mid-grade ones have six, and top-grade ones have twelve.

Bean soldiers, immortal puppets, and immortal-slaying cannons are all extremely valuable strategic resources. Among them, immortal-slaying cannons are the most precious; a low-grade one has the potential to kill a True Immortal cultivator, and even a Soul Transformation cultivator can operate it without expending much divine sense.

With the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron in hand, Wang Changsheng was confident in refining True Immortal-stage bean soldiers. If refinement failed, he could use the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron to restore the materials and re-refine until successful. Alternatively, the Spirit Bean itself could also be used for planting Dao Soldier Trees.

At this moment, Sun Feng took out three talismans glowing with red light and announced, "These are Tier-2 Fire Immortal Talismans, comparable to the full-strength strike of a Golden Immortal cultivator who has comprehended the Law of Fire. The starting bid is one thousand immortal essence stones, with each increment not less than one hundred."

"Eleven hundred!"

"Twelve hundred!"

"Thirteen hundred!"

The three Fire Immortal Talismans were quickly auctioned off, with the lowest successful bid reaching two thousand three hundred immortal essence stones.

Sun Feng then took out a pale golden jade slip and announced, "This is an immortal cultivation technique, the 'Heavy Water Immortal Scripture.' It has thirty layers in total, with every three layers constituting a realm. It's a water-attribute cultivation method. The starting bid is two thousand immortal essence stones, with each increment not less than one hundred."

For some smaller factions, this 'Heavy Water Immortal Scripture' could greatly enhance their foundation. However, the Wang family already possessed numerous cultivation techniques, so Wang Changsheng was not interested in this 'Heavy Water Immortal Scripture' and did not make a bid. This 'Heavy Water Immortal Scripture' was ultimately sold for twenty-three thousand immortal essence stones, acquired by a certain small faction.

Wang Changsheng had ascended to the Immortal Realm over thirty thousand years ago. During this period, several new families and sects had been established in the Tianchen Sea Domain, and they were desperately lacking in foundational resources. Sun Feng subsequently presented several more immortal cultivation techniques, all of which sold for high prices.

"Next up is the 'Profound Aperture Technique'," Sun Feng said, holding a green jade slip. "It can open up to three apertures. The starting bid is one thousand immortal essence stones, with each increment not less than three hundred immortal essence stones."

The bidding for this aperture-opening secret technique was fierce. However, Wang Changsheng was not impressed by it. After fierce competition, this 'Profound Aperture Technique' ultimately sold for the high price of eleven thousand immortal essence stones. A green-robed attendant then walked onto the circular platform, took out a green storage bracelet, and handed it to Sun Feng.

"This fellow cultivator's immortal essence stones are not enough, so they plan to auction some items," Sun Feng explained, gently shaking the green storage bracelet. A wave of green light swept past, and over a dozen items appeared on the table. There were immortal wood, immortal herbs, ores, beast hides, and beast bones. Most of them were common goods, but an irregular greenish object caught Wang Changsheng's attention.

"What is that greenish block-like object? Is it a refining material?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"This is a semi-finished product," Sun Feng replied. "It has not yet been refined into an immortal artifact. The starting bid is fifty immortal essence stones, with each increment not less than five." Sun Feng explained that a semi-finished product is no different from scrap. Besides the owner, outsiders have no idea what materials were used in its refinement, nor what treasure it was intended to be.

Wang Changsheng spent one hundred immortal essence stones and successfully bid for this semi-finished product. He had previously purchased a semi-finished product from Shi Xiang, which he restored to its raw materials, obtaining many valuable items. He wondered what materials this particular semi-finished product would yield when restored.

"The price is so low," Wang Ruyan said with a smile, "I guess the owner considered it scrap." Wang Changsheng nodded, agreeing that the person was likely a rogue cultivator.

After these materials were auctioned off, Sun Feng gently flicked his wrist, and a jade bottle shimmering with green light flew out. He cast a hand seal into it, and the green jade bottle glowed with dazzling green light, spewing out a stream of green ethereal light from which a Nine-Colored Tree emerged.

"A Nine-Colored Peach Tree!" Wang Moxin's eyes burned with eagerness.

The Nine-Colored Immortal Peach is one of the Ten Great Immortal Fruits. A single Nine-Colored Immortal Peach can extend one's lifespan by a hundred thousand years, with no limitations; the more one consumes, the longer their lifespan is extended. However, the Nine-Colored Immortal Peach has a growth cycle of nine million years, which deters even Golden Immortal cultivators.

"This is a Nine-Colored Immortal Peach Tree over five hundred thousand years old," Sun Feng announced, his face filled with envy, "seeking exchange for items of equivalent value." This Nine-Colored Immortal Peach Tree was consigned by a Golden Immortal cultivator and is still over eight million years away from maturity. High-level Spirit Plant Masters can shorten this time. For Golden Immortal cultivators who possess a time-based immortal artifact or have comprehended the Law of Time, eight million years is insignificant.

"Materials..." Wang Changsheng murmured. He shook his head, dismissing the thought. Even if he were to offer Thunder Amber Crystals, he still wouldn't be able to exchange for this five hundred thousand-year-old Nine-Colored Immortal Peach Tree. The Ten Great Immortal Fruits are all extremely precious, incomparable to ordinary immortal fruits.

A short while later, Sun Feng put away the Nine-Colored Immortal Peach Tree, as it was clear it hadn't sold.

Sun Feng took out an exquisite golden wine jar and announced, "This is Tier-2 Immortal Wine, Green Apricot Brew, which enhances immortal essence. The starting bid is three thousand immortal essence stones, with each increment not less than three hundred."

"A Tier-2 immortal wine that enhances immortal essence!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat tempted. If a True Immortal cultivator drank it, wouldn't the effect be even better?

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand three hundred!"

"Three thousand six hundred!"

Wang Changsheng spent seventeen thousand immortal essence stones and successfully bid for this jar of Green Apricot Brew.
