Living in Yellow Maple Valley, I steadily cultivate immortality with a daily divination!

Chapter 222 All materials are in hand; let's begin crafting the puppet!

Although it was a private underground trade fair, the organizers clearly wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money and showcase their strength.

Before the start of the free trade was announced, an elderly man with a white beard, whose cultivation had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, walked onto the high platform in the center of the hall and acted as the temporary auctioneer.

The old man was concise and to the point, without uttering any unnecessary words, and directly took out three items for a brief auction.

The first item was a bottle of "Purple Jade Fusion Pill," which was said to help break through the minor bottleneck of the early Nascent Soul stage. It was of excellent quality and sparked several rounds of bidding. In the end, it was won by a cultivator with a cold aura for 800,000 spirit stones.

The second item was a fist-sized piece of "Meteorite Iron" that exuded a rich stellar power. It was an excellent material for refining magical artifacts with various effects, and it also fetched a high price.

The third item was a fragmented jade slip containing a method for breaking some unorthodox ancient restrictions, which was extremely attractive to some cultivators who specialized in array formations and restrictions.

Lin Chuan was quite interested in this jade slip. He possessed the "Great Evolution Technique" and had a deep understanding of array formations and restrictions. This item might allow him to gain insights into other areas as well.

He made consecutive bids and finally acquired the jade slip for 450,000 spirit stones.

Incidentally, he also acquired two auxiliary medicinal herbs, "Seven Star Grass," used to refine pills for advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and a piece of "Warm Yang Jade" at a relatively "low" price.

After spending nearly a million spirit stones, he attracted the attention of many black-robed men around him, who secretly wondered which faction he represented, given his extravagance.

Lin Chuan, however, remained calm, his heart unmoved.

With his possession of the large mine on Biling Island that continuously produces high-grade spirit stones, his wealth has already reached a terrifying figure. A mere million spirit stones is just a drop in the ocean.

For him, spirit stones were merely tools to exchange for the resources he needed.

"Alright, foreplay over."

The white-bearded elder on the stage put away the last item for auction, raising his voice slightly, "Next, it's time for the free trading that you all have been waiting for! The rules are clear to everyone: the highest bidder wins, or you can barter, it's all voluntary. I will only witness the transaction and will not interfere. Now, which fellow Daoist would like to go first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure stood up from below the stage and walked steadily onto the platform.

This person was also shrouded in black robes and had a mask covering his face, but judging from the aura he exuded as he walked, he was clearly also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After he stopped, he didn't waste any words and directly took out a jade box covered with talismans and opened it in front of everyone. The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aura of blood mixed with a strange medicinal fragrance wafted out. In the center of the jade box, there lay a strange spiritual herb, its entire body crimson, shaped like a dragon, and bearing seven blood-red scale-like leaves. It was at least five thousand years old!

"A 5,300-year-old 'Dragon Blood Grass' is the main ingredient for refining the top-grade body-tempering pill 'Dragon Elephant Bone Tempering Pill.' I wish to exchange it for a 'Longevity Pill' that can add more than 80 years to one's lifespan, or an equivalent longevity-extending spiritual item. Anyone with such an item may come up and trade."

The black-robed cultivator's voice was slightly hoarse, but the longing in his words was clearly audible. Clearly, this person either had little time left to live, or someone extremely important needed their lifespan extended.

"Dragon's Blood Grass!"

A murmur of gasps rose from the audience. This herb was indeed an unparalleled treasure for body-refining cultivators, extremely valuable.

However, the "Longevity Pill" is an extremely rare treasure, especially the one that can extend lifespan by more than twenty years. It is very difficult to refine and the materials are hard to find.

Usually, there is a price but no market for it.

After a brief silence, several people in the audience stood up one after another, each taking out a jade bottle and announcing the number of years that the elixir inside could extend their lifespan.

There were "Evergreen Pills" that could add thirty years to one's lifespan, "Longevity Powder" that could add forty years, and even a cultivator who took out a "Turtle and Crane Longevity Pill" that could add sixty years to one's lifespan, which attracted a lot of attention.

But the cultivator who took out the Dragon Blood Grass simply shook his head slightly, clearly not meeting his expectations.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, then stood up. He walked to the front of the stage, took out a warm, white jade bottle, and uncorked it.

Instantly, a purer and more vibrant medicinal fragrance wafted out, subtly overpowering the blood energy of the dragon blood grass.

He flicked his finger, and a pill the size of a longan, entirely green with flowing cloud patterns on its surface, flew out of the bottle and hovered in the air, slowly rotating.

"This pill is called the 'Azure Essence Rejuvenating Pill,' made from an ancient formula. One pill can increase one's lifespan by... fifty years," Lin Chuan said calmly.

"Fifty years?!"

A gasp of surprise rippled through the audience once more. Although it was still short of the eighty years required by the black-robed cultivator, fifty years of lifespan was still enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator to do many things, greatly increasing the possibility of breaking through a minor realm or finding better life-extending items.

Moreover, this pill is of extremely high quality and has a pure medicinal effect, far surpassing the previous ones.

The black-robed cultivator who took out the Dragon Blood Grass stared intently at the emerald green pill, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, but ultimately turning into decisiveness.

His lifespan was indeed running out, and although this elixir that would extend his life by fifty years was not ideal, it was still extremely precious and enough to give him another chance!

If you miss this opportunity, you may not find someone willing to exchange such a high-grade Longevity Pill for Dragon Blood Grass again.

"Okay! It's changed!"

The black-robed cultivator nodded readily and pushed the jade box containing the dragon blood grass toward Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan readily handed the "Bi Yuan Rejuvenating Pill" to the other party, took the jade box, examined it briefly, and then put it away.

The transaction was completed, and both parties stepped down.

This high-level transaction, marking a successful start, immediately set the tone for the event.

Next, dozens more people came up on stage, bringing out all sorts of treasured items to exchange for what they desperately needed.

Some wanted to exchange fragments of ancient treasures for top-grade refining materials, some wanted to exchange rare spirit beast eggs for defensive formations, and some wanted to exchange ancient cultivation technique dungeons for specific spiritual herbs... The scene was lively and extraordinary, with rare treasures appearing one after another, which broadened Lin Chuan's horizons. During this time, he made two more purchases and obtained several uncommon but useful refining auxiliary materials.

Of course, not everyone can have their wish fulfilled.

Many cultivators offered decent items, but either the items they sought were too rare or their value was disproportionate, ultimately leading to their disappointment and departure.

As time went by, the frequency of his appearances on stage gradually decreased.

A brief silence fell over the hall.

Just then, Lin Chuan stood up again and walked calmly onto the platform.

He didn't immediately produce anything, but instead slowly swept his gaze across the hundreds of black-robed figures below the stage, and announced loudly, "I, Lin, have come here seeking only two things—the 'Five Elements Jade' and the 'Radiant Crystal'! Regardless of size or quality, if you possess them, I, Lin, am willing to exchange them for a large sum of money or treasures of equivalent value!"

With that, he waved his sleeve, and seven or eight items appeared on the high platform in a flash of light.

On the far left are three ancient treasures that shimmer with spiritual light and emit a strong fluctuation: a bronze mirror engraved with mountain and river patterns, a fiery feather fan that is entirely red and faintly emits the sound of a phoenix, and a small black cauldron with three legs and two ears, engraved with ferocious ghost faces.

Although these three ancient treasures are not at the level of Heavenly Treasures, they are still quite powerful, enough to greatly increase the strength of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

On the far right, there were ten high-grade spirit stones, radiating spiritual energy and shimmering with light, simply and directly piled up!

The spiritual energy emanating from the ten high-grade spirit stones piled together instantly cleansed the air in the entire hall, drawing countless burning gazes to them!

"Hiss—! Ten high-grade spirit stones!"

"Those three ancient treasures are no ordinary items! Just who is this person? How could he be so wealthy?"

A murmur of surprise and discussion immediately erupted from the audience.

Ten high-grade spirit stones are of immeasurable value and are usually only circulated among Nascent Soul cultivators or the top sects. They are treasures for activating super formations, activating Heavenly Treasures, and even assisting in breaking through the bottleneck of Nascent Soul!

Not to mention there are three other powerful ancient treasures as alternatives!

In an instant, countless people were captivated.

Even though he didn't have the Five Elements Jade or the Radiant Crystal, he was frantically trying to recall if he knew anyone who possessed them, or he planned to immediately send a message back to inquire.

Lin Chuan stood on the stage, waiting calmly.

He believed that with such high profits at stake, as long as these two items existed at the trade fair, someone would definitely bring them out.

Sure enough, after a brief commotion, the white-bearded old man hosting on the stage suddenly coughed lightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Lin is quite generous. Coincidentally, I happen to have a piece of 'Five Elements Jade' here, of decent quality, about the size of an egg. May I ask what Fellow Daoist Lin will offer in exchange?"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a piece of jade that was about the size of an egg and had five colors flowing around it. It was a piece of jade that emitted a soft spiritual light of the five elements. It was the Five Elements Jade!

As soon as this jade appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy of the five elements seemed to become more active.

A gleam of joy flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he pointed without hesitation to the pile of high-grade spirit stones:

"How about exchanging ten high-grade spirit stones for this Five Elements Jade, fellow Daoist?"

"Ten high-grade spirit stones?"

A flicker of excitement crossed the white-bearded elder's eyes. He had taken out the jade because he had his eye on the ten high-grade spirit stones. While the jade was fine, it was far less practical for him than the ten high-grade spirit stones. "Alright! Deal!"

The two quickly completed the transaction.

Lin Chuan pushed ten high-grade spirit stones to the old man, took the warm and smooth Five Elements Jade, carefully sensed it, and confirmed that it was correct. A great weight was lifted from his heart.

With the Five Elements Jade in hand, one of the most essential materials for crafting puppets is now available!

"Can a Radiant Crystal be exchanged for ten high-grade spirit stones?"

Just as Lin Chuan put away the Five Elements Jade and was about to leave the stage, a clear, melodious, yet hesitant female voice rang out from below the stage.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in a black robe and wearing a black veil standing up near the front row.

Although the black robe was wide and concealed her figure, it was not difficult to judge from the pair of clear, autumn-water-like eyes that were exposed, as well as her graceful and upright posture and the melodious voice she had just heard that this woman must be an exceptionally beautiful woman, and her cultivation level seemed to be quite high as well.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation, his gaze fixed intently on the woman. "As long as it is indeed a Radiant Crystal of acceptable quality, ten high-grade spirit stones will be presented immediately!"

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation, his gaze fixed intently on the woman. "As long as it is indeed a Radiant Crystal of acceptable quality, ten high-grade spirit stones will be presented immediately!"

The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and without further hesitation, she took out a jade box and opened the lid.

There was no dazzling light inside the box, only a soft, ever-changing rainbow of light, seemingly both liquid and solid, lying quietly within, emitting a unique fluctuation that stabilized the space and refracted light.

It is indeed a dazzling crystal!

Moreover, judging from its luster and ripples, its quality is quite good, and the quantity is sufficient for making puppets.

"Great! We've made the trade!" Lin Chuan was overjoyed and immediately took out ten more high-grade spirit stones to complete the transaction with the woman.

The woman seemed surprised by Lin Chuan's quick acceptance. She took the ten high-grade spirit stones, examined them carefully, nodded slightly to Lin Chuan, and then quickly sat back down without saying another word.

Two core materials were successfully acquired at this underground trading fair for the "sky-high" price of twenty high-grade spirit stones!

Lin Chuan felt extremely happy.

I feel that the biggest goal of this trip to Beijing has been achieved!

Without further delay, he cupped his hands in greeting to the audience and walked off the stage with a joyful expression.

Although many treasures still appeared at the subsequent trade fairs, they were no longer of interest to Lin Chuan.

He sat quietly in place, closing his eyes to rest, until the trade fair was completely over.

As they parted ways at Tingyu Pavilion after leaving the mysterious pavilion, Fu Cheng suddenly said to Lin Chuan, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it was a pleasure working with you this time. Two years from now, in the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, I may have a matter that I need your assistance with. The reward will certainly satisfy you."

"Would you do me the honor of coming?"

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment. Fu Cheng was a fairly straightforward person, and he had been introduced to this trade fair in large part.

He had planned to travel to the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the timing was just right.

"it is good."

"If I have nothing to do at that time, I will definitely go and meet with Fellow Daoist Fu." Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.

"Very well! Then I will await your arrival, fellow Daoist!" Fu Cheng said with a smile, cupping his hands in farewell.

After leaving Jinjing, Lin Chuan had no regrets.

With the Five Elements Jade and Radiant Crystal in hand, all the core materials and main ingredients for crafting a late-stage Nascent Soul puppet are finally gathered!

He was already eager to refine this future important combat force immediately.

Instead of returning to the inland, he rode his escape light and flew towards the eastern coast of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Inland, with its many people and distractions, crafting puppets would be quite a spectacle and could easily attract unnecessary trouble. The countless deserted islands overseas, sparsely populated, are the perfect place for secluded cultivation and artifact crafting.

After flying eastward for several months, Lin Chuan finally arrived at the eastern coastline of the Great Jin Dynasty.

He did not stop, but continued flying eastward into the vast sea.

Lin Chuan flew for another ten days or so, his divine sense sweeping across the scattered islands below. Finally, he selected a desolate island that was only a hundred miles in circumference, with sparse spiritual energy, no spiritual veins, and no trace of human habitation.

In the center of this island stands a stone mountain that is hundreds of feet high.

The jagged rocks are a perfect opportunity to make use of.

Lin Chuan landed atop the rocky mountain. With a wave of his hand, dozens of array flags shot out and disappeared into the surrounding mountains, setting up a complex array that he had obtained from the ancient cave dwelling of the Fallen Demon Valley. This array combined the effects of concealment, protection, and spirit gathering.

Instantly, the entire stone mountain was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it blurry and difficult to penetrate even with divine sense.

The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and without further hesitation, she took out a jade box and opened the lid.

There was no dazzling light inside the box, only a soft, ever-changing rainbow of light, seemingly both liquid and solid, lying quietly within, emitting a unique fluctuation that stabilized the space and refracted light.

In the center of this island stands a stone mountain that is hundreds of feet high.

The jagged rocks are a perfect opportunity to make use of.

Lin Chuan landed atop the rocky mountain. With a wave of his hand, dozens of array flags shot out and disappeared into the surrounding mountains, setting up a complex array that he had obtained from the ancient cave dwelling of the Fallen Demon Valley. This array combined the effects of concealment, protection, and spirit gathering.

Instantly, the entire stone mountain was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it blurry and difficult to penetrate even with divine sense.

Chapter Update Notice: Chapter 222: All materials obtained, time to begin crafting the puppet! Read here.

The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and without further hesitation, she took out a jade box and opened the lid.

There was no dazzling light inside the box, only a soft, ever-changing rainbow of light, seemingly both liquid and solid, lying quietly within, emitting a unique fluctuation that stabilized the space and refracted light.

It is indeed a dazzling crystal!

Moreover, judging from its luster and ripples, its quality is quite good, and the quantity is sufficient for making puppets.

"Great! We've made the trade!" Lin Chuan was overjoyed and immediately took out ten more high-grade spirit stones to complete the transaction with the woman.

The woman seemed surprised by Lin Chuan's quick acceptance. She took the ten high-grade spirit stones, examined them carefully, nodded slightly to Lin Chuan, and then quickly sat back down without saying another word.

Two core materials were successfully acquired at this underground trading fair for the "sky-high" price of twenty high-grade spirit stones!

Lin Chuan felt extremely happy.

I feel that the biggest goal of this trip to Beijing has been achieved!

Without further delay, he cupped his hands in greeting to the audience and walked off the stage with a joyful expression.

Although many treasures still appeared at the subsequent trade fairs, they were no longer of interest to Lin Chuan.

He sat quietly in place, closing his eyes to rest, until the trade fair was completely over.

As they parted ways at Tingyu Pavilion after leaving the mysterious pavilion, Fu Cheng suddenly said to Lin Chuan, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it was a pleasure working with you this time. Two years from now, in the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, I may have a matter that I need your assistance with. The reward will certainly satisfy you."

"Would you do me the honor of coming?"

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment. Fu Cheng was a fairly straightforward person, and he had been introduced to this trade fair in large part.

He had planned to travel to the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the timing was just right.

"it is good."

"If I have nothing to do at that time, I will definitely go and meet with Fellow Daoist Fu." Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.

"Very well! Then I will await your arrival, fellow Daoist!" Fu Cheng said with a smile, cupping his hands in farewell.

After leaving Jinjing, Lin Chuan had no regrets.

With the Five Elements Jade and Radiant Crystal in hand, all the core materials and main ingredients for crafting a late-stage Nascent Soul puppet are finally gathered!

He was already eager to refine this future important combat force immediately.

Instead of returning to the inland, he rode his escape light and flew towards the eastern coast of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Inland, with its many people and distractions, crafting puppets would be quite a spectacle and could easily attract unnecessary trouble. The countless deserted islands overseas, sparsely populated, are the perfect place for secluded cultivation and artifact crafting.

After flying eastward for several months, Lin Chuan finally arrived at the eastern coastline of the Great Jin Dynasty.

He did not stop, but continued flying eastward into the vast sea.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation, his gaze fixed intently on the woman. "As long as it is indeed a Radiant Crystal of acceptable quality, ten high-grade spirit stones will be presented immediately!"

The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and without further hesitation, she took out a jade box and opened the lid.

There was no dazzling light inside the box, only a soft, ever-changing rainbow of light, seemingly both liquid and solid, lying quietly within, emitting a unique fluctuation that stabilized the space and refracted light.
