Chapter 1306: Great Sun Sword-Offering Art Materials Mostly Collected

"Lei Chong Guang Grass, Dust Fire Essence, Thunder-Winged Bird Bone, Sky-Crystal Star Stone..."

Jiang Ding rummaged through the warehouse of the True Scripture Auction House, his heart filling with joy.

Of the 15,974 materials required for the first layer of the Great Sun Sword-Offering Art, just a casual glance here revealed several kinds; it seemed very easy and relaxed.

Truly the homeland of the Sun and Moon Sword Pavilion!

Truly the inheritance of a Near-Immortal level power!

They could clearly use top-tier heavenly treasures and earthly gems, yet they chose very common, ordinary materials; such is their confidence, that even ordinary materials suffice to forge rare swords, because the inheritance is profound enough that even common iron can be forged into divine metal.

Of course, this also relates to the fact that the Sun and Moon Sword Pavilion's inheritance was originally a secondary inheritance of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.

In the minds of those Near-Immortal figures who created the Great Sun Sword-Offering Art, ordinary disciples were originally very poor; giving them a sword-offering art with overly strict requirements would be like a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror.

"Found 3,977 kinds, including 3,500 Nascent Soul tier materials and 277 Soul Transformation tier materials; some are materials entrusted by guests for auction; if there is a premium, we can purchase them, just need to be careful about hiding..."

Jiang Ding, very satisfied, swept a huge pile of materials into his bag.

It must be known that the territories where Immortal Gates reside also have some materials that can substitute those required by the Great Sun Sword-Offering Art; Immortal Gates can also develop corresponding substitute materials, so his material gap is not as large as imagined, needing only those few materials that cannot be synthesized.

"This is the inventory of the True Scripture Trading House."

"There are still many things the True Scripture Trading House does not have now..."

Jiang Ding pondered.

He transmitted an order outward, instructing the Steward Li Wang to bring him an inventory list of all auction houses in the Mire Demon City, including the largest one, the Mire Auction.

This was actually commercial secrecy, but the major auction houses of the Mire Demon City were naturally looking out for one another, occasionally exchanging inventory lists and the like; they had that much camaraderie.

Of course, the inventory list provided by the other party would inevitably have reservations.

A few days later.

"Master, the list you required."

Steward Li Wang transmitted a jade slip inside, then withdrew.

"A total of 13,751 kinds of materials; they can already be satisfied."

Jiang Ding swept with his divine sense.

"The transactions are somewhat troublesome; many guests' trading conditions are not spirit stones, but pills, talismans, Gong Fa, spells, magical treasures, and the like; it is very complex."

"It doesn't matter; it can be satisfied."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

Not to mention Immortal Gates, even the industrial production capacity of the Minor Thousand Worlds of the Northern Plains can produce these things; for the small portion of high-end items, Immortal Gates can make them easily.

As for the risk of enemies tracking down the Immortal Gates through Immortal Gate products?

After careful thought, Jiang Ding believed this approached infinity close to zero; even a Near-Immortal level powerhouse could not bridge the gap due to the excessively vast distance blocking everything.

What if it were a True Immortal?

If one were to die at the hands of such a figure, then strive to swing the sword and welcome a brilliant end to life.

Such an event is like the sun falling and destroying the world; it is an extremely, extremely, extremely low-probability event; there is truly no need to prepare for it.

"Someone come."

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

"Greetings, Master!"

Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, walked in and bowed deeply.

"Daoist Li, please go purchase these things I need."

Jiang Ding handed the other party a jade slip, his attitude amiable.

These were precisely the 12,000-plus sword-offering materials he needed, but not separate ones; rather, they were mixed with over 3 million different kinds of materials, all things Jiang Ding believed might be useful for the development of Immortal Gate material science.

This was to prevent others from locking onto the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm inheritance through the materials; after all, this is the stronghold of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm; such things may have existed countless times in history; one cannot but be cautious.

"Yes, Master."

Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, was normal at first; in the past, the Windy Human Demon had also occasionally issued similar orders, but the next moment, when his divine sense surged into the jade slip, he froze, his heart shaken.

He could not help but raise his head and glance at the ordinary-looking youth before him.

Jiang Ding smiled slightly.

Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, could not help but feel a chill of horror rise in his heart.

Many guesses arose in his heart, but all guesses, under the other party's consistent mystery, left him at a loss.

Even if he wanted to repay the grace of being known, there was no way to speak of it, because the Master of the True Scripture Auction House was not a concrete person, but often changed.

"Mas... Master..."

Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, bowed deeply again and said bitterly, "These things are too many; the auction house's spirit stones and heavenly treasures and earthly gems are insufficient."

"This is what is needed."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly and handed out another storage bag.

Inside were Gong Fa, spells, magical treasures, pills, and so on; these were exactly what the owners of those heavenly treasures and earthly gems needed.

Overall, these things did not exceed the scope of a powerful Soul Transformation level power.

Such a storage bag, worth several True Scripture Auction Houses, was placed before Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun; he seemed not to worry about him taking the spirit stones and fleeing.

"This subordinate accepts the order!"

Steward Li Wang, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, felt heavy in his heart.

He clasped his hands again and hurriedly found someone to handle it.

As a famous auction house in the Mire Demon City, the True Scripture Auction House itself already had channels.

?? As long as spirit stones and treasures were sufficient, accomplishing these things was not difficult.

"Still short by over 3,000 kinds."

"If we exclude the materials that the immortal sects can synthesize, that leaves two hundred and seventy-one materials—nine Void Refinement-grade, and two hundred and seventy-two Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul-grade materials."

Jiang Ding did a quick calculation.

Void Refinement-grade materials—the Swamp Demon City naturally had them.

They were all things that Swamp Master Dinghai Zhenjun had no use for yet wanted to trade, and they were openly displayed on a list. Among them was one material needed for the Great Sun Sacrificial Sword Art.

However, a Void Refinement-grade transaction of this sort was not something the True Scripture Auction House could handle.

"I need knowledge,"

"especially knowledge of materials, and the more unique inheritances from the upper realm—Gong Fa, secret arts, and the like—the better…"

Jiang Ding furrowed his brow.

After thinking it over many times, he made a decision: he would go to the Swamp Auction House in person to conduct the trade himself, using their channels to gather what he needed.

The main reason was that he was a clone.

When his main body had been refining him, it had already been set that, when needed, he could take risks.

Of course, not now.

At the very least, he had to wait several years, until Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun had acquired everything he needed. No matter what, he could not make this trip for nothing—he had to come away with something before discussing anything further.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes to rest and cultivate quietly.

During this time, Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun would periodically purchase the things he needed, and whenever a batch was gathered together, he would send someone to deliver them to a certain cave dwelling outside the city. Inside the cave dwelling were several mechanical puppets, guarding a teleportation array.

This teleportation array was in turn connected to an unknown number of hidden teleportation arrays.

All these arrangements ensured that Void Refinement cultivators could not trace them, and that Unity Dao cultivators could not fully crack these arrays in a short time either—safety was still reasonably assured.
