Chapter 3945

According to market value, for chaotic beasts of the same cultivation level, a single-colored core can be exchanged for ten colorless cores. A two-colored core can be exchanged for twenty single-colored cores, a three-colored core for thirty single-colored cores, a four-colored core for forty single-colored cores, and a five-colored core for one hundred single-colored cores. A core from a mutated five-colored True Immortal-level chaotic beast can be exchanged for fifty cores from regular five-colored True Immortal-level chaotic beasts. Furthermore, a pure core can be exchanged for thirty impure cores. These are just the market prices; the actual exchange value is often higher.

For chaotic beasts of different cultivation levels, a core from an early-stage Golden Immortal-level five-colored chaotic beast can be exchanged for one thousand cores from early-stage True Immortal-level single-colored chaotic beasts. However, in reality, no one would trade a Golden Immortal-level chaotic beast core for a True Immortal-level chaotic beast core.

Even at the market rate, Wang Changsheng’s bid was equivalent to four hundred and fifty single-colored cores, which could be exchanged for ninety five-colored cores. Jiang Tianhai simply could not produce ninety five-colored cores. Wang Changsheng had effectively inflated the price, forcing a group of True Immortal cultivators to withdraw from the bidding.

On the forty-eighth floor, in a private room, a corpulent elder in a golden robe and a full-figured young woman in a white dress sat on chairs, their brows furrowed. Ten True Immortal-level cultivators of the Sky Cry Tribe stood respectfully nearby.

“Since there are ten Grade One Dao Pills anyway, it doesn't matter if we let him have one,” the young woman in white, Hao Bing, an early-stage Golden Immortal, said.

“I'm not concerned about a single Grade One Dao Pill,” the elder in the golden robe, Fu Shuo, also an early-stage Golden Immortal, said, his face full of curiosity. “Rather, I'm curious about this person's background. To use pure cores to bid on items—that's simply extravagant!”

“Who cares about him!” Hao Bing said nonchalantly. “As long as he doesn't compete with us for the mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannon and mid-grade Chaotic Armor, it's fine.”

Wang Changsheng successfully acquired the Dao Pill containing the Law of Earth for fifteen pure single-colored cores. Next up for auction was a Grade One Dao Pill containing the Law of Wood.

“One pure single-colored core!”

Hearing this bid, Hao Bing and Fu Shuo frowned but said nothing. This Dao Pill was sold for twenty-five pure single-colored cores, which was equivalent to seven hundred and fifty impure single-colored cores.

Wang Changsheng acquired all ten Grade One Dao Pills, spending a total of three hundred and twenty pure single-colored cores, equivalent to nine thousand six hundred impure single-colored cores. Other bidders weren't necessarily outmatched; rather, they were intimidated by Wang Changsheng's lavishness. As long as they dared to increase their bids, Wang Changsheng would counter without yielding, as he had an abundance of pure cores. Considering there were still many valuable items to come, they didn't bid to the end, estimating that after securing ten Grade One Dao Pills, the mysterious bidder wouldn't have many pure cores left.

Hu Yao's expression was excited; acquiring so many pure cores this time meant a huge profit.

After the last Grade One Dao Pill was sold, Hu Yao took out three talismans, shimmering with blue light, and announced, “Next, we have three Azure Luan Evasion Immortal Talismans, Grade Two Immortal Talismans. The starting bid is fifty single-colored cores, with each subsequent bid not less than five cores.”

“Fifty!”“Fifty-five!”“Sixty!”

Competition for the Azure Luan Evasion Immortal Talismans was fierce. For True Immortal cultivators, acquiring even one of these talismans would greatly facilitate escape or travel.

“One pure two-colored core!” Wang Changsheng called out. According to the market price, this was equivalent to twenty pure single-colored cores.

“A pure two-colored core?” Qian Yan’s mouth twitched again. Were pure cores truly so common now?

On the forty-ninth floor, in a private room, Cao Jingxia and Cao Yuanxing sat on stools, their brows deeply furrowed. More than ten Cao family disciples, including Cao Yuheng and Cao Xingdian, stood nearby.

“It seems my suspicions were correct; that must be a clone of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal,” Cao Yuanxing said, frowning. “It will likely be difficult for us to secure a Grade Two Dao Pill now.” He had participated in auctions of this scale many times before, and it was rare for bidders to use pure cores on items before the main, highly anticipated items were presented. The other party had already produced over three hundred pure cores, a quantity he himself could not match.

“Why would a clone of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal bid on items needed by True Immortals or Golden Immortals?” Cao Jingxia wondered. “Could it be a reincarnation after taking over someone's body?”

“Perhaps they're acquiring them for their disciples or descendants,” Cao Yuanxing said with some concern. “I wonder if he'll bid on Grade Two Dao Pills. If he does, I doubt anyone will be able to compete with him.”

Wang Changsheng successfully acquired the three Azure Luan Evasion Immortal Talismans for nine pure two-colored cores. After the three Azure Luan Evasion Immortal Talismans were sold, Hu Yao presented two other types of auxiliary Grade Two Immortal Talismans, but Wang Changsheng did not bid on them. He was merely a True Immortal cultivator, and the saying “an innocent man is guilty because of his treasure” applied, so he decided to exercise some restraint.

After the Grade Two Immortal Talismans were sold, Hu Yao produced five golden porcelain vials and announced, “Next, we have five vials of Purple Profound Pills, a Grade Two Immortal Pill that enhances immortal elemental energy. The starting bid is fifty single-colored cores, with each subsequent bid not less than twenty.”

“Fifty!”“Seventy!”“Ninety!”

Hu Yao presented several types of Grade Two Immortal Pills, all of which fetched high prices, but Wang Changsheng remained silent.

“Next, we have three vials of Violet Soul Nourishing Pills,” Hu Yao announced in a clear voice, holding five green porcelain vials in her hand. “These pills are highly effective for healing soul injuries. The starting bid is two hundred single-colored cores, with each subsequent bid not less than thirty.” While treasures and immortal talismans that attack the soul are quite valuable, elixirs for healing soul injuries are even more precious.

“Two hundred!”“Two hundred thirty!”“Two hundred sixty!”

After multiple bids, the three vials of Violet Soul Nourishing Pills were sold for high prices: eight hundred, eight hundred sixty, and nine hundred sixty respectively.

A tall youth in a golden robe flew onto the high platform, handed a golden storage bracelet to Hu Yao, exchanged a few whispered words, and then withdrew.

“A guest wishes to auction some items,” Hu Yao announced. “We have already appraised them, and there are no issues with their authenticity or quality.” With a slight flick of the golden storage bracelet on her wrist, a golden glow swept across the table, revealing over a dozen new items.

“Immortal Hu, what is that spherical object? Is it an ore?” Qian Yan asked, pointing to an oval-shaped, multi-colored object that resembled a mineral.

“This is a semi-finished mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannon,” Hu Yao explained. “It was not fully refined because the crafting process was interrupted when enemies invaded. Immortal artificers who are interested can bid on it; the item itself has no issues. As for whether it can be successfully refined into a mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannon, that depends on the artificer’s skill. The starting bid is one hundred single-colored cores, with each subsequent bid not less than thirty cores.”

As soon as Hu Yao finished speaking, someone immediately called out a bid.

“One hundred!”“One hundred thirty!”“I bid six pure single-colored cores,” Wang Changsheng announced.

Upon hearing this, the True Immortal cultivators in the hall erupted in an uproar. The mysterious cultivator had made another move. A single pure one-colored core was equivalent to one hundred eighty impure one-colored cores. Based on previous bidding, it seemed that if this person made an offer, they were determined to win.

On the forty-second floor, in a private room, Jiang Changlin sat on a stool, his brows deeply furrowed, with more than ten True Immortal cultivators standing by his side. He had specifically come to acquire a mid-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannon this time. It was rare to encounter a semi-finished one, and just as he was about to make a bid, the wealthy mysterious cultivator had intervened.
