Chapter 470: 149 Age Dao Method, Celestial Immortal Body Refinement Technique (10K Monthly Tickets Requested) _6
“In those Demon Forests and Demon Ridges, many wild Spirit Plants grow.”
“As for Gold Yuan Fruit — ”
“This is the largest Immortal City in the Earth Immortal Mansion and also hosts the most famous external auction of the Earth Immortal Mansion, once only every twenty years. Having just six Gold Yuan fruits is not considered a lot.”
“In fact, the value of Gold Yuan Fruit here far surpasses that in the Great Moon Mansion.”
“After all, think about how many people in the Great Moon Mansion need Gold Yuan fruits?”
“But in the Earth Immortal Mansion? The number of people who need Gold Yuan Fruit may be a thousand, even ten thousand times more than those in the Great Moon Mansion.”
At these words, Su Yu felt a tightness in his heart, indeed it was so.
Just looking at the current auction house, the number of cultivators it can accommodate is likely a hundred times more than that of the auction in the Great Moon Black Market.
The bidding in the upcoming auction would probably be fierce.
The five-tier auction hall below.
Cultivators started entering one after another, finding a seat or entering a booth, waiting for the auction to begin.
The next morning.
The fifth-floor auction hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, was almost full. Most of the people outside were cultivators at the Core Formation Realm.
On the sixth floor, in the booths, there were even faint presences surpassing the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.
“The auctioneer of DiLing Commerce Association, Taoist Longyu, greets all fellow Taoists.”
A figure with a somewhat strange aura appeared below.
She was a beautiful woman wearing a deep blue long dress, enveloped in a light blue immortal glow, radiating up to the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.
But upon closer inspection, Su Yu was startled, saying, “This woman is not a human cultivator?”
Taoist Qingquan, after looking, whispered: “She seems to have the bloodline of the Demon Clan, but it seems to be from the Sea Clan?”
What!
Su Yu looked a bit strange, can humans intermingle with the Sea Clan? A hybrid?
“Now, let’s start with the first item in today’s auction by the DiLing Commerce Association.”
“A mysterious mud figurine from an ancient relic. It appears to hold the inheritance of a body refinement technique that can be cultivated to rival the Core Formation Realm.”
“The starting price is a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and the price of each bid should not be less than a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.”
The glamorous Taoist Longyu in her deep blue dress, her breathtaking figure, and pretty face smiled, and took out a palm-sized mud figurine. A trace of a unique aura emanated from it.
On closer inspection, it seemed to depict some patterns. Indeed, this object holds some sort of inheritance.
But a body refinement technique — ”
The auction was silent for a moment, then a cultivator tentatively offered a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
Su Yu, on the sixth floor, was slightly moved at seeing the mud figurine. A body refinement technique from ancient relics? The Crocodile Demon’s 108 styles that he currently practices were created by ancient cultivators who observed great ancient crocodile demons. Although it could be cultivated without issues, it wasn’t quite the orthodox Immortal Dao body refinement technique.
Considering this, Su Yu bid eleven hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
Other than his addition, no one else placed a bid.
Taoist Longyu cast a charming look at the booth where Su Yu was on the sixth floor and smiled: “Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for obtaining a mysterious inheritance.”
In no time at all,
someone delivered the mud figurine to the sixth-floor booth, Su Yu handed over the spirit stones, and received the mud figurine.
The auction below continued.
While keeping an eye on the auction, Su Yu inspected the figurine he had just won. Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan, Taoist Shuhai, Kong Yun, and Jiang Meng also gathered around him, looking curiously.
Luo Qianyu looked at him and said, “Don’t you already have a body refining technique inheritance?”
Su Yu fondled the mud figurine, sent his divine sense into it, and explored the hidden body refinement technique inheritted within. He responded, “From one law comes thousands of methods, and to thousands of methods returns the one. Body refinement technique is no different. Grasping another will likely be beneficial for me.”
Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan and the other three seemed stunned. From one law comes thousands of methods, and to thousands of methods returns the one?
While the five of them contemplated this saying, a dazzling white light shone from the mysterious mud figurative. In the next moment, an overwhelming wave of Dao inheritance information poured into Su Yu’s mind.
“Boom!”
By the time Su Yu digested this inheritance, the mud figurine in his hand had already crumbled into dust and scattered on the ground.
Yet, Su Yu was unable to attend to this. His pupils constricted and his heart was filled with shock.
“‘Celestial Immortal Body Refinement Realm – Upper Volume’?”
Another inheritance from the Celestial Immortal Mansion?
He inspected this Body Refinement Realm inheritance closely. It had three levels in the upper volume, and if including the middle volume and the lower volume, the entire method would have nine levels.
If one could cultivate to the perfection of the ninth level, one could shake Immortals with their body alone, reaching a status comparable to that of a ‘pseudo Immortal’!
This was one of the core Body Refinement Realm inheritances of the ancient Celestial Immortal Mansion, representative of the orthodox Body Refinement School. The name ‘Celestial Immortal’ was chosen not only because of the Mansion, but also as this Body Refinement Realm directly targets the Immortal body!
The upper volume obtained from the clay figurine contained the first three levels of the Body Refinement Realm inheritance, enough to cultivate a physical body or ‘Immortal body’ at the peak of Core Formation Realm.
The core method of cultivation involved engraving Dao patterns on one’s body, tempering the body using the power of these patterns, treating the body similarly to how an ‘Immortal Artifact’ is refined.
However, to cultivate the Celestial Immortal Body Refinement Realm, a vast amount of spiritual liquid would be needed.
In the end, it would transform the body into an ‘Immortal body’ capable of bearing the weight of Immortal Qi!
After carefully pondering this Body Refinement Realm inheritance, Su Yu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Consuming a vast amount of spiritual liquid? Isn’t this a body refinement technique tailored for me?”
With the Refining Qi Pot in his possession, he wasn’t afraid of such a consumption.
And the three levels of Body Refinement Realm suited him well at this time. After all, his current level was equivalent to the sixth level in the Core Formation Realm, it was still applicable.
“I can try to cultivate it. If I can’t find the subsequent cultivation techniques in the future, I can continue practicing the Alligator Demon’s 108 Body Refinement Techniques without any problem,” Su Yu secretly thought.
The auction continued, with most items catching Su Yu’s interest being mid-grade and high-grade materials of third order.
However, the materials for alchemy, talisman drawing, puppet mastery, and formations added up to quite a significant amount.
The frequency with which he bid for items surprised many people at the auction.
But after seeing the box on the sixth floor, no one dared to have any offensive thoughts.
The sixth floor!
Only the core disciples of the top Ten Immortal Sects, people of the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Nascent Soul Realm, had the right to occupy it!
Such people were not to be trifled with.
The auction lasted for two days.
Su Yu collected hundreds of mid-grade and high-grade third-order alchemy materials, and thousands of mid-grade and high-grade talisman drawing materials.
He also gathered some high-grade puppet and formation materials of the third order.
The expense of over 30,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones left Luo Qianyu, Taoist Qingquan, Taoist Shuhai, Kong Yun, and Jiang Meng dumbfounded.
Jiang Meng looked at Su Yu, her eyes sparkling, like a little wealth fanatic.
By the time the auction was over, the adorable Jiang Meng, with admiring eyes, said to Su Yu, “Uncle Master Yu, why don’t I learn alchemy or talisman drawing from you in the future? I also want to earn some Spirit Stones.”
Su Yu shook his head, chuckling, “Both alchemy and talisman drawing are hard to learn – first convince Senior Sister Gu Lan.”
Although once skilled, an alchemist, talisman drawer, Array Master, Artifact Refiner, Puppet Master, and other masters of a hundred arts of cultivation, could easily make money. But for an average person, the initial cost was unbearable.
Regardless of the discipline, if one wanted to achieve something, one had to spend a lot of resources to have a chance.
After all, not everyone was as monstrously talented as him.
Soon after, the six of them left the Earth Ridge Immortal City and returned to their respective Immortal Sects.
When he finally dropped Luo Qianyu off at the Quiet Sword Peak, Su Yu took out a Qiankun Bag. Inside were a few high-grade Spirit Stone materials of third order that Luo Qianyu fancied during the auction.
He handed the Qiankun Bag to Luo Qianyu, and with a light smile, he said, “When you decide to leave the Sect and preside over the external mansion, let me know, I will see you off then.”
Su Yu then left in the Taixu and returned to Dayu Peak.
Luo Qianyu watched his departing figure until the shadow of the Taixu disappeared from sight, then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
But looking at the Qiankun Bag in her hand, a smile involuntarily spread across her face.
Her smile was like a snow-covered mountain melting instantaneously, the warm sun felt like spring.
The cold sword Dao aura emanating from Luo Qianyu had receded quite a bit. The deeper she delved into the ancient Sword Dao, Luo Qianyu felt more like she was losing her own character and turning into a sword.
At this time, she needed someone to remind her that she was still a person, a woman.
A moment later, Luo Qianyu’s smiling expression faded, and she pondered with furrowed brows, “Where should I preside?”
