Chapter 449

"It is indeed a Renyuan Fruit."

Fang Yu nodded; he knew this fruit—it was called Renyuan Fruit, a rare celestial treasure that could be refined into an elixir capable of extending life by fifty to a hundred years.

The Lianshen Elixir, extending life by fifty to a hundred years, was undoubtedly an unparalleled rarity for cultivators in the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

Some ancient Holy Masters or elder Supreme Elders had lived for thousands of years, their lifespans nearly exhausted; for them, gaining even fifty more years was utterly terrifying.

But for Fang Yu, extending life by fifty years meant nothing—Hua Tiandu had been mass-producing the Jiazi Great Elixir, and last time he'd sent hundreds of them to disciples of the Taiyi Sect.

One Jiazi Great Elixir could extend life by sixty years; imagine how desperately the ancient Holy Masters in the Shrouding Heaven Realm would chase after such an elixir if it arrived there.

Then again, no one knew whether the Jiazi Great Elixirs from the Eternal Life Realm could even extend the lifespan of ancient Holy Masters in the Shrouding Heaven Realm—they were from different worlds.

If they could, Fang Yu currently possessed several Heaven-grade elixirs, such as the Dragon God Elixir and the Five Cloud Ascending Immortal Elixir—each capable of extending life by six to eight hundred years; wouldn't auctioning just one shake the entire Northern Dipper Star?

Perhaps even the slumbering Supreme Beings would awaken.

Thus, auctioning treasures from the Eternal Life Realm carried risk—this was why, despite possessing elixirs that extended life, Fang Yu remained unassuming.

But this Renyuan Fruit was native to the Shrouding Heaven Realm and could certainly help its ancient Holy Masters extend their lifespans.

Extending life by fifty years was more precious to a Holy Master than divine source.

"Will you sell this Renyuan Fruit to me? I'm willing to pay one hundred fifty thousand catties of source."

The old man nearly lunged to seize it, but held himself back—he had immediately offered one hundred fifty thousand catties of source; he didn't look like a shopkeeper from a small stall—he was truly wealthy.

After all, the Qingxiamen Sect, having plundered for years, had amassed only seventeen hundred catties of source, yet this shopkeeper possessed one hundred fifty thousand catties.

"I offer two hundred thousand catties of source—nineteen thousand catties as divine source, ten thousand as ordinary source; final price, no haggling, or I'll find another buyer."

Fang Yu spoke.

Things like Renyuan Fruit never lacked a market; he was about to leave the Shrouding Heaven Realm and had no patience to hunt for auction houses, nor did he intend to bring it back to the Eternal Life Realm.

After all, even if it could be consumed in the Eternal Life Realm and extend life by fifty years, no one cared.

What's wrong with the Jiazi Great Elixir?

"Good, good, good—I'll arrange it right away."

The old man immediately agreed and hurried off to summon someone.

Meanwhile, a wisp of Fang Yu's magic power took his form to wait there, while his true body carried ten thousand catties of source to other shops.

This was another shop, where an old Taoist nun resided—her cultivation base appeared impressive, even reaching Holy Master level; she was clearly an Immortal Platform Realm cultivator.

With an Immortal Platform Realm cultivator guarding this shop, it was clearly a major establishment.

"Buy whatever you want. Every stone has a price tag."

As a boy entered, the old Taoist nun's voice echoed.

"Hmm."

Fang Yu nodded and began inspecting the shop.

Indeed, this was a shop guarded by an Immortal Platform Realm being—there were many fine items inside.

Yet Fang Yu still chose only one stone.

One stone per shop—no more.

It was a stone one zhang tall; purchasing it cost Fang Yu six thousand catties of source—if nothing emerged from within, he'd suffer a massive loss.

But Fang Yu's expression was calm and confident—he used the Great Cutting Technique.

The Great Cutting Technique from the Eternal Life Realm had truly become the Great Cutting Technique in his hands—and it worked exceptionally well.

After one cut, the cutting force shattered the stone, revealing what lay inside.

The old Taoist nun's face changed—she hadn't expected anyone could cut source like this; cutting source was a skilled art requiring extreme caution—who casually sliced open a stone with a finger?

This was unprofessional; even if the stone contained something valuable, it was easy to shatter the treasure inside and ruin its worth.

But when the stone split open, what emerged was a radiant, crimson material glowing like phoenix blood—its beauty was absolutely exquisite, naturally bearing divine phoenix patterns, radiating an essence of supreme yang, extreme heat, unbreakable hardness, and ultimate ferocity.

"What? This is… Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold? Material for an Ultimate Dao Emperor Weapon?"

The old Taoist nun, stunned, spoke aloud—then immediately regretted it; her eyes shimmered with greed, and thoughts of murder and theft flickered.

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold—an Ultimate Dao relic, appearing once in hundreds of thousands of years; since the Ancient Wasteland, over one hundred thousand years had passed, and only Emperor Hengyu had ever obtained it.

Its rarity was unimaginable—it was a sacred object exclusive to Emperors; ordinary people couldn't even hope to glimpse it.

For thousands upon thousands of years, it had been like a dream, a mirage.

This divine metal had no measurable value—it was what ancient Emperors dreamed of, what even sages could only yearn for.

And now, in her own shop, such a treasure had appeared—and she hadn't known, while someone else had bought it; the old Taoist nun truly entertained thoughts of murder.

"Don't make me act—you don't want to die, do you?"

Fang Yu simply reached out, snatching the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold in his hand, and glanced casually at the old Taoist nun—boundless killing aura surged forth, instantly snapping her back to reality.

This was the killing aura of the Great Killing Technique; the terrifying aura could utterly destroy a cultivator's mind. For Fang Yu to gather so much killing aura normally would take centuries—but thanks to Fang Qingxue's Minor Destiny Technique, it had been summoned instantly, boundless and endless.

Yet when Fang Yu directed this boundless killing aura toward a cultivator, that cultivator's mind would perceive mountains and seas of corpses—the killing aura forged by slaughtering billions of lives, perhaps even tens of billions.

This was ultimate evil.

The old Taoist nun could not fathom that the seemingly gentle boy before her possessed killing aura only possible after slaughtering tens of billions of lives—was this boy even still a boy?

Even the most powerful beast elders of this land—Kong Quewang, Qingjiao Wang, or other great bandits—could not possess such terrifying killing aura; even Emperors likely hadn't slain tens of billions of lives.

This was too terrifying—unimaginable.

Thus, the old Taoist nun stood frozen, daring not to entertain even a single murderous thought against Fang Yu, this "ancient relic" radiating overwhelming killing intent.

And Fang Yu left the shop with his acquisition, effortlessly.

The Great Killing Technique was extremely effective for intimidating others.

When killing aura was refined to perfection, it became a supreme terror.

In this world, only the Supreme Beings might possibly gather the Great Killing Technique from boundless killing aura.

……

Fang Yu traveled through this city like this, gaining many benefits.

And the entire city was stirred into turmoil because of Fang Yu alone.

Anyone who could own a shop in such a great city must have a powerful background, but now they had all been fleeced by Fang Yu.

No, this wasn't just fleecing — it was practically taking their lives.

Before Fang Yu had even left this city, many people had already heard the news and hurried over.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was the same.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had always liked putting on airs, but upon hearing that such a person who could pull extraordinary treasures just by appraising stones had appeared in Fire Dragon City, she immediately floated over in search of Fang Yu.

Once the Holy Maiden of Yaochi moved, her followers all came along as well; many young talents followed the whole way, seemingly wanting to attach themselves to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

It had to be said, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's charm was simply too great — young disciples from the Jiang Clan, the Ji Clan, and Yaoguang all came to follow her, and there was even an Imperial Prince of the Central Province.

"So it's Brother Fang, the Holy Son of the Grand Mystery Gate — I was wondering who it was."

Accompanying the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's arrival were also the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land — her hair streamed and danced, lustrous black and bright, pure as a divine moon, ethereal as clouds and mist, her long gown trailing on the ground, dazzling to behold.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang also followed the Yaochi Fairy, resembling a blazing sun, a layer of golden radiance flowing across his body's surface, every movement drawing attention, like a divine son.

There was another young man, clad entirely in golden armor, resplendent and dazzling — unmistakably an Imperial Prince of the Great Xia of the Central Province, his black hair like a waterfall, his eyes like stars, his bearing extraordinarily outstanding, like a Son of the Heavenly Emperor descending to the mortal world, dragon qi flowing around him, shining brilliantly.

Great Xia was an immortal ancient imperial dynasty of the Central Province, flourishing for over a hundred thousand years.

Let the seas turn into mulberry fields, let the years rush by, heroes be born and die — Great Xia remained as prosperous as ever, unchanged through all.

It was an immortal imperial dynasty founded by a Great Emperor before the Desolate Ancient era, standing unshaken throughout this world.

Yet now the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty actually had an Imperial Prince who, upon hearing that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was in the Northern Region, had also come to the Northern Region.

This was rather strange, but it also showed the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's nobility, purity, and how she inspired longing.

"Holy Maiden of Yaoguang…"

Four characters left Fang Yu's mouth.

In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wastes, within the Grand Mystery Gate, he had seen this Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land, but they hadn't exchanged much then — and now here in the Northern Region, they met again.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly have fine methods — you've made our Yaoguang Holy Land lose quite a few things."

The Holy Son of Yaoguang, like a golden heavenly god, spoke.

"Oh, if the Holy Son feels he's lost something, how about we have a little wager?"

Fang Yu smiled.

"What?"
