Chapter 68: Five Elements Pine Nuts Are Full of Gimmicks; Sword Immortal Origin Refines Medicinal Pills (Make-up for yesterday~)

"Ding-dong~"

A sound of extreme distance, as if a stone had been tossed onto the surface of a lake; the space rippled, and strange patterns emerged, spreading in all directions.

Clusters of starlight erupted, rising upward to condense into the image of a blue goat, trailing radiance and glowing brightly.

Then, the brilliance slowly dissipated, and a small bronze urn with Pixiu patterns emerged from the void.

Fang Longye stopped his laughter and said to the women, "Look, the debt collectors are here again."

He immediately took out handfuls of Qiyun Yinxian and, as if playing a game of pitch-pot, tossed all the silver coins into the mouth of the urn.

As the last of the silver coins arrived, the small bronze urn began to hum, shaking incessantly and emitting a pleasant, crisp sound.

It circled around Fang Longye once, then plunged into the void and vanished.

Suddenly, a bright pearl shone brilliantly, revealing its form.

Fang Longye reached out to gather it, took out a small booklet from within, flipped through it with his primordial spirit, and smiled with satisfaction.

The information provided by the Yaofang was indeed not exaggerated; this "True Explanation of Talisman Dao" was truly rich in content and detailed, containing everything from talismans below the Golden Immortal Realm, in all sorts of varieties.

He casually picked up a spiritual fruit and tossed it into his mouth; it was crisp, sweet, and delicious.

This deal was truly not a loss; Fang Longye had originally intended to purchase it directly within the Yaofang, but he discovered that such knowledge-based commodities were exceptionally expensive there.

Whether it was cultivation techniques or divine abilities, they were clearly things that could be endlessly copied and sold repeatedly, yet they were priced higher than various divine objects and Spirit Treasures.

What was even more infuriating was that if he sold to the Yaofang, they would suppress the price extremely low; they truly grasped the essence of a platform.

Otherwise, he really wanted to purchase a batch of cultivation techniques, exchange them through his Golden Finger, and then sell them off; he would surely make a huge profit.

Thinking of the prices for just some incomplete True Immortal-level talisman drawing methods in the Yaofang earlier, it was enough to cover the cost of this auction for the "True Explanation of Talismans." Fang Longye felt relaxed, "Consider it a small bargain."

With the various talismans inherited from this "True Explanation of Talismans," his precious gourd, which he named the "Ten Thousand Talisman Ruyi Divine Gourd," would have more than enough to advance into a Spirit Treasure.

The treasure appraisal and auction continued.

In the process, Fang Longye also purchased several Five Elements-type treasures, specifically to deal with the cultivation of gathering the Five Elements in the upcoming True Immortal Realm.

At this moment, another treasure he was interested in appeared, one that had not been listed on the light screen; it must have been a rare treasure added temporarily during this Dharma assembly.

The old man Bai Yang opened a jade box, which contained five pine nuts, emitting five-colored divine light.

Fang Longye looked at the information introduction on the light screen and jumped up.

He blurted out, "Innate Five-Needle Pine?"

"Uh, Young Master, look carefully~" Qingshe reminded him softly.

"Oh, suspected... Innate Five-Needle Pine... pine nuts produced by descendants?" After examining it carefully, Fang Longye relaxed his mind, slumped onto the Cloud Couch, and cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, who set up this light screen information? They didn't learn anything else, but they sure are proficient at clickbait."

Whether it was the "suspected" in the front or the "pine nuts produced by descendants" in the back, they were all in tiny, fly-like demon script, and dim at that.

Yet "Innate Five-Needle Pine" was written in Dao script, as large as a peck, and as bright as stars.

It was no wonder that in his excitement, his eyes had been dazzled for a moment.

"Got excited for nothing!" Fang Longye rolled his eyes and said indignantly.

It was a pity that in that instant, he had even considered selling the "Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram."

On the light screen, the old man Bai Yang was still introducing this spiritual object: "I believe everyone has already understood from the information on the light screen. That's right! These are the pine nuts produced by the descendants of the suspected Innate Five-Needle Pine."

"Although they are naturally incomparable to that kind of Innate Spiritual Object, these five pine nuts also contain a large amount of Five Elements essence."

"Consuming them can accelerate the condensation of the Five Qi in the Chest and also allow one to comprehend some of the supreme principles of the Five Elements; they are absolutely supreme treasures for cultivation in the True Immortal Realm."

Fang Longye came back to his senses and thought about it; it was indeed so, and perhaps he could even gain something by refining them with his secret technique of Reverse Innate.

He immediately placed a bid to participate in the auction.

The competition was not too intense; after all, it was only "suspected" and "produced by descendants." Once these words came out, those experienced demon immortal cultivators all smiled knowingly. It was just a gimmick! As if anyone didn't know how to do that~ Nowadays, which of these spiritual pines wasn't derived from the Innate Spiritual Root of the Innate Five-Needle Pine?

Was there a problem with saying that? Not a single bit~

If this were in Penglai Xianfang, anything of even slight quality would dare to claim a connection to great gods like Donghua Dijun and Nanjixianweng.

In the end, Fang Longye spent over thirty thousand Qiyun Yinxian to purchase these five pine nuts.

For a moment, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

If it weren't for the fact that after he fulfilled the request of the broker for the Fourth Young Master of the Golden Toad, that one-tenth commission was directly credited along with the payment for the goods.

He truly would not have had the financial power to compete for this spiritual object.

Nine months passed in a flash.

The two types of divine water that Fang Longye had entrusted for auction had also sold for high prices, which counted as recouping some of his losses.

However, he basically didn't participate in any more bidding; after resolving some necessary needs, he didn't care about anything else.

Indeed, there were some rare treasures that made his heart flutter when he saw them, but his pockets were truly empty.

After completing the request for the Golden Toad, Fang Longye stopped making moves and basically watched with great interest as various treasures were competed for by others.

While watching the excitement, it also counted as broadening his horizons.

Now the Dharma assembly had reached its end, and the treasures participating in the auction were becoming increasingly precious, and the competition had reached a fever pitch.

"Everyone, this treasure was temporarily entrusted by a distinguished guest. I dare not say much about the information; please investigate the information introduction on the light screen yourselves~" Bai Yang carefully opened the wooden box covered in Restrictions.

A pill, emitting five-colored divine radiance, with the clanging sound of metal and stone, came into view.

Fang Longye looked at the information introduction on the light screen and clicked his tongue secretly.

No wonder Bai Yang dared not say much; this was a human pill refined by a Demon King who had extracted the entire origin of a Golden Immortal Realm Human Race Sword Immortal.

Even though it was the Human Race, it was a Golden Immortal after all, so there were still quite a few taboos.

At the same time, he also felt a bit of yearning for the arrogance and fearlessness of the Demon Clan in Beiju Luzhou. Needless to say, since they dared to take it out for sale, the Yaofang naturally did not care about any potential retaliation.

This style, a great man should be like this!...

Inside the hall where the Yurong Wang was located.

Starlight was brilliant, thousands upon thousands, with halos filling the sky, flickering on and off, as if the stars were shaking.

Wisps of starlight transformed into sweet nectar, raining down with a tinkling sound.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful; he turned his head to look at an old man beside him and said with a beaming smile, "Lu Lao, do you believe this pill was refined by a Demon King?"

"The Young Master is indeed meticulous. This Sword Immortal path is said to originate from the Taishang disciple Yin Xi. Although it has yet to flourish in the Earth Immortal Realm, it ultimately belongs to the Taishang lineage. There might be some scheme involved; it cannot be underestimated."

"Every single Demon King capable of killing a Golden Immortal is an old demon who has experienced much and is well-versed in the ways of the world. How could they act in such a manner? This Golden Immortal Realm Sword Immortal might just be a disciple or descendant of the Taishang successor Yin Xi! Counting it up, they are also a Taishang disciple."

"With the mindset of these old demons, even if they had done such a thing, they would only keep it hidden. How could they make a grand spectacle of refining it into a human pill for sale? Isn't that a slap in the face?"

Yurong Wang stirred the surrounding starlight, producing a crisp sound, and laughed, "I guess this must have been a Human Race cultivator entrusting a Demon King to sell it on their behalf?"

Another old man beside him, whose body was covered in mist and whose expression could not be seen, spoke in a hoarse voice, "The Young Master guessed correctly. Although you previously had me calculate the Heavenly Secrets to investigate that Dragon Prince, I did not succeed."

"However, I inadvertently saw another scene completely unrelated to it: a Human Race Golden Immortal from Dongsheng Shenzhou meeting with Mingsha Yaowang and entrusting this pill to them."

Calculating Heavenly Secrets has always been like this; various scenes are complex and intertwined. They are not all necessarily related to the subject of the calculation; they might just be a brief intersection.

For instance, this Dragon Prince is surely present now, and this is how he has had an intersection with this pill.

Looking at the flow of the content, you can tell this chapter was originally meant for yesterday. As it turned out, I spent the last two days entertaining leaders and drinking, and I felt terrible for two days. By the end of yesterday, I still hadn't finished writing this chapter. I apologize for breaking my promise about the burst of updates earlier~ I will make up for it slowly later~
