CHAPTER 1119: CHAPTER 616: ANCIENT THUNDER TRIBULATION CRYSTAL

"...Indeed, this is exactly what I want. But you won’t get much in return for this information," Zhao Sheng looked up and shot Mr. Dengcao a deep gaze as he spoke.

"Haha, then I won’t hold back. No matter what, I hope you don’t trade that Demon Emperor’s Heart Core to the Ke family, because..."

At this point, Deng Cao Monk switched to a certain Divine Thought Secret Method and transmitted some confidential messages to Zhao Sheng.

"...Nowadays, more and more Nascent Soul cultivators are arriving at the Nanke Hall. I just happen to know that three days later, there will be another high-end exchange meeting, open only to those mid-stage Nascent Soul and above. I will be the host of this exchange meeting. If Taoist Zhao has the time, feel free to attend; there might be a great surprise." Mr. Dengcao’s lips moved slightly as he transmitted this message.

"Another high-end exchange meeting!" Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "Alright, I will definitely attend this meeting; hopefully, I can gain something."

"Very well, let’s meet again here in three days," Mr. Dengcao’s eyes flickered with a hint of joy, and he quickly took his leave.

Zhao Sheng watched the person depart into the distance, then, with a thought, manifested the walls of the Dao Field once more and continued with his meditation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the high-end exchange meeting started once again...

...

Over half a day later, the exchange meeting was already halfway through.

Above a vast endless sea of clouds, dozens of crystalline Magic Platforms floated in the air, varying in height and distance.

"Xia Yuan Soul Refining Grass, aged over ten thousand years. I believe there is no need for me to elaborate on its value. It is the best auxiliary item for refining Calamity Soul Armor..."

On one of the platforms, an elder with crane-white hair and a youthful face spoke as he took out a jade box from his bosom. Inside was a light red, seemingly glazed, beautiful spirit flower.

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators engaged in heated discussions. This item, which grows in the Earth’s Core Fire Abyss, never sees a ray of sunlight throughout the year and is considered a rare treasure seen only once in a millennium, let alone being used to refine Nascent Soul Soul Armor.

The elder with crane-white hair greatly praised this Xia Yuan Soul Refining Grass and then announced, "Starting price is thirty threads of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi, with an increase of no less than one thread each bid. Fellow Daoists, please prioritize the water attribute Mystic Crystal."

Zhao Sheng sat quietly in the center of the platform, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected to see a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Refining Grass here.

Of course, he had no intention of bidding, even though the Soul Refining Grass could be used to refine Nascent Soul Soul Armor, it was of basically no use to him.

While Zhao Sheng had no intention to bid, nearby Mr. Dengcao seemed quite interested in this Soul Refining Grass and joined the bidding early.

"Sixty threads"

"Sixty-five threads"

"I bid seventy!"

The Nascent Soul cultivators present enthusiastically bid, and in a matter of moments, the price of Xia Yuan Soul Refining Grass was pushed to ninety-six threads of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi.

At this price, there were only a few left in the bidding, and after several rounds of bidding, it was finally auctioned off by a great cultivator for one hundred thirty-seven threads of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi.

The exchange meeting continued, with one Nascent Soul cultivator after another displaying their treasures in front of everyone, presenting a variety of extremely valuable treasures.

Unbeknownst to all, the exchange meeting had reached its conclusion.

At this time, it was finally Zhao Sheng’s turn, and everyone eagerly awaited him.

As expected, Zhao Sheng once again publicly displayed four Carrying Dao Treasures: the Ice Soul Divine Pearl, Crystal Skull, Demon Emperor Stone Core, and Harmonization Stele.

As anticipated, the emergence of the four treasures once again caused a sensation among the cultivators.

When Zhao Sheng announced the three exchange conditions, everyone wore expressions of extreme greed, eagerly bidding against each other.

This time, some Nascent Soul cultivators seemed prepared, with many presenting a considerable quantity of diverse space-time treasures, such as Kongtong Shell, Space-Time Sand, Void Nether Stone, Returning Spirit Crystal, and Mustard Stone, while Pocket World Jade was rarely seen.

Seeing such a heated bidding scene, Zhao Sheng decisively raised his psychological bottom line, refusing all bids no matter how they were offered.

Three months is still a long time, and those ’fated ones’ have ample time to ’accumulate’ treasures for trade.

Each Carrying Dao Treasure contains the power of laws, and, if used wisely, often results in the birth of a new Divinity Transformation True Monarch!

Faced with such treasures that could change one’s destiny on the path of Dao, those great cultivators would pay any price for them.

After a day, this high-end exchange meeting concluded rather abruptly.

Meanwhile, the name of Thunder God, along with the Carrying Dao Treasures, quickly spread to every Nascent Soul cultivator participating in the meeting.

For a time, whether late-stage cultivators or great family ancestors confident in their wealth, frequently visited various cave mansions, making every effort to collect thunder attribute heavenly divine objects, space-time treasures... and even Star Gate Transmission Orders.

...

Half a month later, a swap meet hosted by a great cultivator from the Ke family was convened once more.

This time, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators exceeded a hundred; Zhao Sheng personally attended, and there were surprisingly six late-stage great cultivators present.

Once the meeting began, the treasures presented by the cultivators became increasingly precious, such as ten-thousand-year-old Elixirs, top-grade magical treasures, entire high-level arrays, Fourth-rank Treasure Pills... and even the so-called Divine Skill Treasure Book, said to lead directly to Divinity Transformation, appeared repeatedly.

The concentration of so many rare treasures at this swap meet clearly signified something, and all Nascent Soul cultivators were well aware of its meaning.

Mr. Dengcao naturally realized this as well, growing increasingly restless. After all, if the Demon Emperor Stone Core was traded away by someone else, he would surely regret it for a lifetime, as he’d almost lose his only chance of achieving the Dao.
