Chapter 3784: Second-Order Immortal Formation, Wan Hai Great Formation

The Wang family had acquired substantial cultivation resources from Beast Island, and their purpose for attending this auction was to replenish their stock.

Immortal winemaking was a niche profession, but certain specialized immortal wines possessed unique properties and were highly sought after by immortals.

Du Xueyao, currently an early-stage True Immortal, could only brew two types of immortal wine. This was primarily due to the scarcity of recipes; the Wang family had not yet managed to acquire any rare ones.

Seventeen thousand immortal stones would normally suffice for a mid-grade immortal artifact, but the intense competition for the jar of Green Apricot Brew meant many True Immortal cultivators were vying for it.

Sun Feng raised his right hand, and a gleaming yellow metal orb shot out. Its surface was covered with intricate spiritual patterns. He cast a spell, and the orb glowed with a blinding yellow light, transforming into a large, burly man in yellow robes with a vacant stare.

"A first-grade immortal puppet, proficient in earth-element divine abilities, available for trade for materials of equivalent value," Sun Feng announced.

Wang Changsheng had already obtained the crafting methods for five types of first-grade immortal puppets and possessed the materials for two of them, so he had no interest in this particular puppet.

This immortal puppet was eventually acquired by another cultivator; the exact exchange terms remained unknown to others.

Sun Feng flicked his sleeve, and hundreds of golden, shimmering banners flew forth. Each banner was wreathed in countless golden electric arcs, exuding a violent aura.

"This is a first-grade immortal array, the Golden Thunder Immortal Annihilation Array. It has been infused with a lightning-absorbing pearl from a mid-stage True Immortal Golden Thunder Shark, granting it immense power. The starting bid is three thousand immortal stones, with increments of no less than five hundred." As soon as Sun Feng's words fell, a bid was immediately called out.

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"Four thousand!"

"Four thousand five hundred!"

The price steadily climbed, and Wang Changsheng joined the bidding.

This set of the Golden Thunder Immortal Annihilation Array ultimately sold for a hefty twenty-one thousand immortal stones, making it the most expensive item transacted thus far.

Wang Changsheng did not manage to secure this grand array, not due to a lack of immortal stones, but because he judged its final price to be beyond its actual worth.

Based on his information, a second-grade immortal array was expected at this auction, with a starting price of a hundred thousand immortal stones, which he couldn't afford at the moment. However, acquiring a superior first-grade immortal array would be no issue.

After that immortal array was sold, Sun Feng flicked his sleeve, and hundreds of blue-glowing array flags flew out, hovering in mid-air. Some of these flags had tiny cracks on their surfaces.

"This is a second-grade immortal array, the Grand Array of Ten Thousand Seas. Its array core is damaged beyond repair, and some of the array flags are also compromised. The starting bid is ten thousand immortal stones, with increments of no less than one thousand," Sun Feng announced.

A second-grade immortal array without its core was significantly devalued. This particular set had been consigned by a client.

"Ten thousand!"

"Eleven thousand!"

"Twelve thousand!"

The bidding was exceptionally fierce. Even if a low-grade immortal artifact were used as its core, this second-grade immortal array could still unleash considerable power.

Wang Changsheng successfully bid eighty thousand immortal stones for this array.

With that purchase, their remaining immortal stones were scarce; they had already spent over a hundred thousand. Had they not acquired considerable wealth from the Heavenly Beast Sect, Wang Changsheng would not have been able to afford such extravagance.

With the Grand Array of Ten Thousand Seas now in their possession, the defenses of Green Lotus Island were significantly bolstered.

Sun Feng flicked his sleeve, and a golden, shimmering flying knife shot out, hovering in mid-air. "A mid-grade immortal artifact, the Golden Moon Blade, available for trade for materials of equivalent value," Sun Feng announced.

Mid-grade immortal artifacts were relatively rare in the Sky Morning Sea Domain, usually exchanged directly rather than purchased with immortal stones. Several cultivators communicated with Sun Feng via spiritual messages. After a short while, Sun Feng put away the Golden Moon Blade; the item had failed to sell.

A flash of light swept by, revealing a gleaming golden cannon on the ground. Its barrel was covered in intricate spiritual patterns.

"An Immortal Annihilation Cannon!" Wang Moxin exclaimed in surprise, astonished that such a weapon was available for sale.

"A low-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon, available for trade for materials of equivalent value," Sun Feng announced.

Wang Changsheng felt no envy; if he could acquire the blueprints for the Immortal Annihilation Cannon, he could potentially craft a low-grade version himself.

This Immortal Annihilation Cannon was eventually exchanged, though the recipient remained unknown.

In one of the private rooms, Meng Yilong sat at a round wooden table, with Meng Tianrui and several other Meng family descendants standing nearby.

"Excellent, we managed to acquire an Immortal Annihilation Cannon through trade!" Meng Tianrui exclaimed excitedly.

"The existence of this item is a family secret and must not be divulged," Meng Yilong cautioned. "Had Tianhui not acquired so many rare materials from the Chaos Continent, we would never have been able to trade for this Immortal Annihilation Cannon." Meng Yilong remarked with emotion.

He had traded a small piece of Nine-Maiden Divine Crystal for the Immortal Annihilation Cannon. This crystal, which could be used to refine fire-attributed mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons, was considered to be of equivalent value to Thunder Porphyry.

Opportunities could arise for anyone. In the past hundred thousand years, no fewer than ten True Immortal cultivators from the Meng family had perished in the Chaos Continent.

"This auction concludes now. We will prepare even finer items for our next event, and we welcome all fellow Daoists to participate," Sun Feng announced.

The cultivators gradually departed the venue. After leaving the Li Fire Pagoda, Wang Changsheng and his companions made their way toward the market exit.

This visit to the market had yielded many valuable items, though at a considerable cost.

Upon exiting the market, Wang Changsheng summoned his Jadeite Boat and stepped aboard, with Wang Ruyan and the others quickly following. "Let's go!" he commanded.

At Wang Changsheng's soft command, the Jadeite Boat glowed with a dazzling green light, transforming into a vibrant green arc that streaked through the sky and vanished.

In less than seven days, Wang Changsheng and his companions had returned to Green Lotus Island.

No sooner had they arrived back at Green Lotus Peak than Wang Yongqian and Wang Qingcheng approached them.

"Yongqian, these are the cultivation resources we acquired," Wang Changsheng instructed, handing a green storage bracelet to Wang Yongqian. "Please register them, store them in the family treasury, and then send someone to fetch Haitang and Yuqi. I need to speak with them."

Wang Yongqian acknowledged and departed to fulfill the command.

Soon after, Ye Haitang and Bai Yuqi appeared before Wang Changsheng.

"Here are the materials for constructing an Immortal Ascension Platform," Wang Changsheng explained, retrieving a blue storage bracelet and handing it to Ye Haitang. "You are to establish one on Mysterious Sun Island. This matter is a top family secret and must not be divulged. Additionally, there's a set of the second-grade Grand Array of Ten Thousand Seas for you to deploy on Green Lotus Island."

"Understood, Uncle, leave it to us," Ye Haitang readily agreed.

"These are the cultivation resources you need to gather."

Wang Ruyan took out three storage bracelets and handed them to Wang Qingcheng and the other two. As for the cultivation resources Wang Qingshan and the others required, they would be sent later.

Wang Qingcheng and the other two thanked her profusely and accepted the bracelets.

"Alright, you may go and attend to your tasks!" Wang Changsheng instructed, dismissing them.

Wang Changsheng then arrived at a vast bluestone plaza. At its center lay a silver magical array, over a thousand *zhang* in diameter. Encircling the array were eighteen thick silver stone pillars, each engraved with numerous mystical runes that resembled flickering flames.

He flicked his sleeve, and an exquisite golden jade bottle flew out, hovering above the array. He then cast a spell, causing a golden light to shoot from the bottle, transforming into a golden flood dragon, and the temperature quickly rose. Wang Changsheng then produced a shimmering silver array disc and cast several incantations into it.

The runes on the eighteen silver stone pillars immediately flared with brilliant light, and a colossal silver energy barrier materialized, encasing the entire magical array.

Countless arcane silver runes streamed forth from the pillars, coalescing into eighteen thick silver chains that bound the golden flood dragon's body.

The golden flood dragon, being a manifestation of immortal flame and not a physical entity, should theoretically have been impossible to restrain. Yet, it was utterly unable to break free.
