Terran Guardian - Chapter 3346

Chapter 3327 One Step Ahead (asking for monthly ticket)

“Three hundred and sixty million!”

Within the Immortal Mansion, King Xiang’s expression remained calm.

To secure the Immortal Elixir, the ancient Xiang family had mobilized considerable resources.

To this end,

King Xiang brought a total of one billion high-grade immortal stones.

While the ancient family’s wealth and power might seem like a small matter, hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones were no problem.

In reality,

the family’s vast influence and

daily needs were staggering.

Furthermore, the Tongtian Pavilion only gave the Xiang family a hundred years. If they had thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the ancient Xiang family would still be able to mobilize a significant amount   of immortal stones.

But within a hundred years, mobilizing ten billion high-grade immortal stones would be the limit.   However,   in King Xiang’s view,   ten billion high-grade immortal stones were more than enough to secure the Immortal Elixir.   As expected,   after the price reached four hundred million high-grade immortal stones, the competition dwindled considerably.   By the time it reached five hundred million high-grade immortal stones, only one or two forces remained.   ”What a pity!”   Chi Wuwang gave up on the competition.   Five hundred million high-grade immortal stones represented all the resources he could mobilize from the First Peak over the past hundred years. He   had originally thought such a large sum would be enough to secure the Immortal Elixir.   But now it seemed   he had underestimated its allure.   Finally,   when the price reached six hundred million high-grade immortal stones,   no one in the room dared to bid.   As the auctioneer, Xia Ze was thrilled, his face flushed.   Six hundred million high-grade immortal stones!   This was the highest price ever paid for an auction he had ever presided over, bar none.   Witnessing such a grand occasion in   his lifetime , Xia Ze had no regrets.   As for the other factions, they were all amazed.   ”Six hundred million high-grade immortal stones, are there any more bidders?”   Xia Ze asked.   After a few breaths of silence, the void was completely still.   Immediately,   Xia Ze declared the auction closed, and the Immortal Elixir was escorted to the immortal residence of the ancient Xiang family.   Elsewhere,   Shen Changqing smiled.   ”Six hundred million high-grade immortal stones! I underestimated the value of the Immortal Elixir!”   He had originally thought that the Immortal Elixir could fetch three or four hundred million high-grade immortal stones, already a staggering sum. But he hadn’t expected the price to soar to six hundred million.   Even   after exchanging it for numerous ninth-tier star cores, Shen Changqing would still have over two hundred million high-grade immortal stones left.   What a remarkable feat!   The cheapest supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifact costs around five or six hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones. With   over two hundred million high-grade immortal stones,   one could own hundreds of supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts alone.   This—   the value of over two hundred million high-grade immortal stones.   As for the Demon God Rāhu, standing nearby, he was already holding his breath.   The price of six hundred million high-grade immortal stones was an unimaginable shock to him.   But at that moment,   an extremely brutal divine consciousness erupted, breaking through the restrictions of numerous immortal palaces. Simultaneously, a voice echoed in the minds of many cultivators.   ”The one who won the immortality elixir is the ancient Xiang family!”   As soon as the words fell,   Xiang Nian’s face changed dramatically.   ”Retreat!”   In an instant, he grabbed Xiang Wang’s shoulder, stepped through the void, and directly tore through the Immortal Emperor Universe, heading towards the Chaos.   But the moment Xiang Nian and his companions left, many powerful beings also left this Immortal Emperor Universe and followed them deep into the Chaos.   ”Boom!”   A powerful aura erupted from the Chaos, the terrifying power so overwhelming that it made the many cultivators tremble in fear.   Elsewhere,   Xia Ze, who was in charge of the auction, also had a sullen expression.   Just as the auction ended, a powerful figure tore through the Tongtian Pavilion’s restrictions, revealing the bidder’s identity. This was undoubtedly an insult to the Tongtian Pavilion.   At this moment,   Han Chuan also appeared.   ”There’s no need to interfere too much in this matter. Let them fight if they want, as long as they don’t fight inside the Tongtian Pavilion.” The ability to break through the Immortal Mansion’s restrictions must have been the work of Changsheng .   Ultimately,   the breakthrough must have been made by someone with a long-lasting spirit.   This was merely a branch pavilion of a high-level immortal realm.   While there was an Immortal Emperor in charge,   it was still far from being able to counteract   Changsheng. The fact that the other party hadn’t engaged in a full-scale fight within Tongtian Pavilion was   a gesture of respect for the latter. As for breaking through the restrictions, if it happened after the auction and didn’t affect Tongtian Pavilion, it wouldn’t be a major issue.   After all, sometimes, turning a blind eye is the key to survival.   Of course,   if this wasn’t a branch pavilion of a high-level immortal realm, but a branch pavilion of the Supreme Immortal Realm, then Tongtian Pavilion would never let a semi-saint dare to act so presumptuously.   At this time,   Han Chuan also arrived at Shen Changqing’s immortal residence.   ”Fellow Daoist, this auction will yield 600 million high-grade immortal stones. Tongtian Pavilion will take a 0.5% cut, leaving 570 million high-grade immortal stones.   I, Han, will sell the 330,000 ninth-grade lower-grade star cores at 1,000 high-grade immortal stones each, for a total of 330 million high-grade immortal stones.   This brings the remaining balance to 240 million high-grade immortal stones. Please review   this !”   Han Chuan handed Shen Changqing two storage rings.   One held 330,000 ninth-grade lower-grade star cores, the other 240 million high-grade immortal stones.   Shen Changqing scanned the rings with his mind, a look of satisfaction evident.

Immediately,

he asked again.

“Originally, I asked Manager Han to keep an eye on the Five Elements Innate Beast and its associated Innate Chaos Beast Bone. I wonder if there’s any news now?”

“The Yin-Yang Five Elements Innate Beast Bone and the Five Elements Innate Spiritual Roots are both now in the branch.

Regarding the Innate Spiritual Roots, the Five Elements Innate Spiritual Roots are worth two million high-grade immortal stones. As for the Innate Chaos Beast Bone, the extremely yang and extremely yin attributes are worth one million high-grade immortal stones each.

As for the Five Elements Bone, each is worth six hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones.

Together, the total is seven million high-grade immortal stones!”

Han Chuan said without hesitation.

“I’ve already found the Innate Chaos Beast Bone with the extremely yang attribute. The rest is six million high-grade immortal stones, as Manager Han said. I wonder how long it will take to get the item?”

Shen Changqing’s mind moved, and he directly took out six million high-grade immortal stones from the 240 million high-grade immortal stones, placed them into a blank storage ring, and handed it to the other party.

Han Chuan didn’t bother counting, simply saying with a smile, “This is simple. Fellow Daoist, just wait a moment.”

It didn’t take long.

Han Chuan ordered the necessary items to be brought.

Eleven purple jade boxes.

Each contained an innate spiritual root corresponding to the five elements, an innate Chaos Ferocious Beast Dao Bone, and an innate Chaos Ferocious Beast Dao Bone of extreme Yin attribute.

Shen Changqing opened the eleven purple jade boxes in front of Han Chuan, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, but outwardly maintaining a calm expression.

“Yes, thank you, Manager Han!”

Eleven supreme treasures!

Their rank was impeccable.

These Chaos Ferocious Beast Dao Bones were all of the innate level.

Thus,

Shen Changqing had gathered all the resources necessary for the subsequent breakthrough to the peak of the Immortal Emperor. He only needed to accumulate sufficient foundation to advance one by one.

Having everything ready now saved him a considerable amount of time, eliminating the need to collect more later.

Han Chuan smiled and said, “I, Han, would like to thank you, fellow Daoist! If you hadn’t brought out the immortal elixir, this auction wouldn’t have been as grand as it is.”   Han Chuan wasn’t lying.

This   auction had generated tens of millions of high-grade immortal stones for Tongtian Pavilion.   While such a large amount of immortal stones might not seem like much to a top-tier branch pavilion, even millions, let alone tens of millions, would be a significant sum for a high-level branch pavilion in the Immortal Realm. With   such a significant achievement, the main pavilion would undoubtedly receive a reward.   Han Chuan naturally had no reason to be dissatisfied.   At   this point,   Shen Changqing asked again, “I have a favor to ask of Tongtian Pavilion.”   ”Fellow Daoist, please speak.”   ”I’m looking for a complete Chaos Spirit Embryo. I wonder if Tongtian Pavilion has one?”   Shen Changqing stated his purpose.   A Chaos Spirit Embryo!   Upon hearing this, Han Chuan’s brows furrowed, then a wry smile appeared on his face.   ”Fellow Daoist, this is putting me in a difficult position. The Chaos Embryo is every bit as rare as the Elixir of Immortality. For those striving for immortality, it’s even more appealing.   Such a heaven-defying treasure is not easily found.   Even with the means of Tongtian Pavilion, finding a Chaos Embryo requires luck.”   ”Besides, I’m only the manager of a high-level immortal realm branch. I can’t reach the core of Tongtian Pavilion, and many things are currently out of reach.   But since you’ve asked, I’ll do my best to find out for you if there’s any information on the Chaos Embryo.   If there is, I’ll let you know immediately.”   ”Thank you very much!”   Shen Changqing nodded.   He’d only casually asked about the Chaos Embryo. If Tongtian Pavilion truly had one, that would be great, saving him the effort of searching later.   But if not, then we’d have to wait and see.   So,   Shen Changqing had already prepared himself.   However—   this treasure…   was just as Han Chuan had said.   In terms of importance, for those striving for immortality, it’s far more appealing than the Elixir of Immortality.   After all, no matter how potent the Elixir of Immortality is, it can only extend the lifespan of an Immortal Emperor. For a powerful being already at the level of   an Immortal, it holds little significance. However, the Chaos Spirit Embryo is different.   Such a treasure holds the foundation for nurturing an Origin Divine Weapon.   Immortals, fearless of the passage of time, possess ample time to cultivate and nurture an Origin Divine Weapon. Possessing such a treasure is like possessing a powerful trump card capable of continuous self-improvement.   This demonstrates the immense importance of the Chaos Spirit Embryo.   Shen Changqing even wondered if the appearance of such a treasure would attract even the Immortals to vie for it.   While the auction of the Immortal Elixir appeared lively, the majority of participants, from beginning to end, were Immortal Emperors, with only a limited number of Immortals actually participating.
