Chapter 4100: Hongmeng Lingbao

Wang Changsheng wasn't interested in what the three Ximen brothers obtained. His attention was focused on Murong Yilong and his two companions. Calculating their age, they were over nine million years old, and he wondered if they had perfected their law cultivation.

If he eliminated them, the Wang family would develop even better in the Tianchen Sea Area. However, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory, and he knew too little about Murong Yilong and his companions to be entirely confident he could kill them.

"Murong Yilong and his companions are probably here for the Nine-Colored Pills and Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits," Wang Ruyan analyzed.

"They won't be able to compete with us. This auction is quite large, with many Golden Immortals attending. We might be able to acquire some good materials. It would be even better if we could get a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure or a source item."

Wang Changsheng showed a look of longing. "Let's hope so!" said Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng nodded. After a brief chat, they returned to their room to rest.

In a secluded manor, there were pavilions, towers, and waterside corridors.

A plump, pale-faced elderly man in a purple robe sat in a stone pavilion, while Liu Mei reported to him.

"Uncle-Master Song, I've inquired; there are two Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits at this auction, for exchange only, not for sale. The competition will be tough; many Grand Unity Golden Immortals are here, and Senior Dong from the Nine Absolutes Sect has also arrived," Liu Mei reported.

"I know the competition will be fierce, but I came specifically for the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits. I must acquire them," the purple-robed elder stated decisively.

Liu Mei took out a pale gold Dharma plate, cast a spell into it, and her expression changed.

"Uncle-Master Song, a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure has appeared on Soulbreak Island in the Donglai Sea Area. Senior Dong and the others have already rushed there," Liu Mei said. The Donglai Sea Area was far from the Myriad Wood Sea Area, and Soulbreak Island was an ancient battlefield, fraught with peril, where even Grand Unity Golden Immortals could perish.

The purple-robed elder's expression shifted. He took out a golden storage bracelet, threw it to Liu Mei, and instructed, "I'm heading to the Donglai Sea Area immediately. Here are some rare cultivation resources; you are responsible for bidding on the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits."

With that, the purple-robed elder left in a hurry. "Yes, Uncle-Master Song," Liu Mei replied, assenting to the task.

The same scene unfolded across the Myriad Wood Market. News of a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure appearing spread, and multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals hastily left the market, heading for the Donglai Sea Area.

Three days later, a large number of cultivators gathered at the entrance of a massive palace shimmering with green light. The plaque above read "Myriad Wood Hall," the venue for the auction.

Among the queue were a plain-looking young man in a blue shirt and a full-figured woman in a blue dress – Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, who had altered their appearances.

They had deliberately changed their appearances, fearing an encounter with the two Golden Immortal cultivators who had perfected their laws. After paying the fee, they smoothly entered Myriad Wood Hall.

The hall was spacious and bright, with a circular platform in the center. Numerous green jade chairs were arranged around it, most already occupied by cultivators. On both the left and right sides were private rooms, each containing a teleportation array for immediate departure.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan found empty seats, sat down, and waited quietly. "Have you heard? A Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure has appeared in the Donglai Sea Area."

"I have. They say it's on Soulbreak Island, a place heavily restricted. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals who enter there might not fare well. I heard many Grand Unity Golden Immortals have already gone there."

"I heard too. Tsk, tsk, a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure. I wonder who will get it."

Some cultivators discussed it animatedly; the news had spread and was no longer a secret.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan remained calm. They had also heard about it. The cultivation resources in the Nine Star Immortal Realm were truly abundant, to have a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure appear.

As time passed, more bidders continuously entered the venue.

After about the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, with three loud chimes, the auction began.

The main doors slowly closed. A refined-looking young man in a white shirt descended from above, landing on the high platform. Judging by his aura, he was merely a late-stage True Immortal cultivator.

"Welcome, seniors and fellow daoists, to this auction. I am Li Xian, and I will be presiding over this event. The highest bidder wins."

The young man in white briefly introduced himself, then took out five green porcelain bottles and announced loudly, "Five bottles of Jade Apricot Pills, effective for enhancing immortal elemental power, suitable for True Immortal cultivators. They will be auctioned separately, with a starting bid of ten Immortal Origin Stones, and each bid increment must not be less than two stones."

"Ten!" "Twelve!" "Fourteen!"

Li Xian successively presented various items, mostly for True Immortal cultivators, and they all fetched good prices.

More than half an hour later, after a low-grade immortal artifact set was sold, Li Xian flipped his right hand, and five colorful porcelain bottles appeared. He announced, "Next, we have the finale item: five bottles of Nine-Colored Pills. Each pill can extend lifespan by 200,000 years, with no restrictions; the more you consume, the longer your lifespan. Bids will be settled using Primal Chaos Beast cores."

"The five bottles of Nine-Colored Pills will be auctioned separately. The starting bid for each is five cores of Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Primal Chaos Beasts, and each bid increment must not be less than one core." "Five!"

"Six!" "Seven!"

The competition was fierce, and prices soared.

With Golden Immortal-stage Primal Chaos Beast cores as currency, True Immortal cultivators couldn't even bid.

Wang Changsheng successfully bid for two bottles of Nine-Colored Pills, spending 185 Five-Colored Cores. Murong Yilong also secured one bottle, and the remaining two were won by other Golden Immortals.

After the Nine-Colored Pills were sold, Li Xian presented two golden, shimmering fruits, shaped like golden lotus roots. "Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits, to be exchanged for materials of equivalent value," he announced. Li Xian explained that the two Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits were consigned by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who wished to exchange them for rare materials.

Wang Changsheng knew there was no chance when he heard it was an exchange. How could something coveted even by Grand Unity Golden Immortals be settled with Primal Chaos Beast cores? It was merely a gimmick to attract cultivators to the auction.

He didn't mind; obtaining two bottles of Nine-Colored Pills was already good enough.

Several Golden Immortal cultivators flew to the circular platform and privately communicated with Li Xian. Two Golden Immortal cultivators exchanged for the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits. Some recognized them as hailing from major forces in the Myriad Wood Sea Area, backed by Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Li Xian then took out two medium-grade Primal Chaos Armors and stated, "Two medium-grade Primal Chaos Armors. The starting bid for each is five cores of Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Primal Chaos Beasts, and each bid increment must not be less than one core."

"Five!" "Six!" "I'll offer seven cores!"

Wang Changsheng, capable of refining medium-grade Primal Chaos Armors himself, had no intention of bidding.

The two medium-grade Primal Chaos Armors were sold for twenty and twenty-one cores respectively. If Wang Changsheng were to use those cores to buy Mixed Origin Stones, he could refine ten sets himself. It was truly advantageous to master a skill.

A short, stout old man in a golden robe flew onto the high platform and transmitted a message to Li Xian.

"This senior's cores are insufficient, so he plans to auction some items. We only provide the venue and are not responsible for authenticating the items," Li Xian announced, then stepped aside.

The golden-robed elder flicked his sleeve, and a golden aura swept over, revealing numerous items on the table. He said, "Fellow daoists who are interested in these items can exchange them for Golden Immortal-stage Primal Chaos Beast cores."

He presented many items, including two hides of Five-Colored Primal Chaos Beasts.

Wang Changsheng flew onto the circular platform, picked up a blue jade stone with his right hand, and asked, "How much for this item?"

"One Five-Colored Core," the golden-robed elder replied.

"I'll offer two cores," a somewhat hoarse male voice rang out.

Wang Changsheng looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall, thin elderly man in a red robe. Judging by his aura, he was a late-stage Golden Immortal.
