Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race-Chapter 1396 - 1340: Striking It Rich (No More Updates Today)
The Chaotian Sea Area is located in the southwest of the Jinhua Immortal Domain, rich in cultivation resources.
The Chaotian Sect, as the largest force within the Jinhua Immortal Domain, established the Chaotian marketplace, which is vast and full of cultivation resources, attracting numerous merchants and travelers.
A red escape light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying toward the Chaotian marketplace.
After a short while, the speed of the red escape light slowed down, revealing a flying boat radiating red light continuously.
Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Chan stood on the red flying boat; of course, Shen Long and Chu Buyu were not using their real appearances.
The Evil God Race issued a large bounty for capturing Shen Long and Chu Buyu, and their portraits had been circulated.
Not wanting to attract attention, they decided it was better to change their appearance.
After a while, the red flying boat landed in front of a majestic giant city gate, where a plaque bore the four golden characters "Chaoyuan Marketplace," and the city gate was wide open.
Chu Buyu put away the red flying boat, and the three of them entered the Chaoyuan marketplace.
They had visited many large marketplaces; Chaoyuan Marketplace could only be considered medium-sized, without any particularly remarkable features.
After a little over an hour, they appeared in a spacious green stone plaza where there were quite a few small stalls, offering various items.
They browsed around but didn’t find anything rare, so Shen Chan found an empty spot and set up a small stall.
The stall displayed rare resources such as Tenth Grade Dao Pills, Fourth Rank Immortal Pills, Dao Soldiers, Nine-Star Jade Clear Fruits, and Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Fruits, which could move even Taiyi Golden Immortals, let alone Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Soon, a number of immortals gathered around, exchanging messages with Shen Chan.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu strolled around while Shen Chan was responsible for collecting resources as his task.
After more than one hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu found themselves on a sparsely populated street, which was a residential area.
They arrived at the entrance of a three-story golden pavilion, with a plaque displaying the three red characters "Yuyang Pavilion," where Chu Yun was standing at the entrance.
The Myriad Beasts Sect also had a branch in the Jinhua Immortal Domain, and Chu Yun had arrived at Chaoyuan Marketplace earlier to gather information and collect resources.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu entered Yuyang Pavilion, and Chu Yun closed the door.
"Are any particularly formidable Great Luo Golden Immortals coming to attend the Dukang Conference? Do you know any Great Luo Golden Immortals?"
Chu Buyu asked.
Chu Yun nodded: "There are several well-known Great Luo Golden Immortals, among them the Golden Pipa Fairy and Fire Phoenix Immortal King who participated in the last major battle with the Evil God Race by the Zhang Family Dao Clan and survived. I know several Great Luo Golden Immortals and can introduce them to you."
She took out two green jade slips and handed them to Shen Long and Chu Buyu.
Shen Long swept his divine sense over them and nodded.
With Chu Yun’s help, they could quickly expand their social circle.
······
A vast manor had a lacquered golden plaque with the three silver characters "Chaoyuan Garden," guarded by two Golden Immortal cultivators who were stern in expression.
A tall, skinny elder in a green robe and a plump woman in a purple skirt sat in a green stone pavilion, talking.
"Is Fairy Xu participating in the Dukang Conference this time? That is wonderful."
The woman in the purple skirt said with a smile.
"If Fairy Xu arrives at the marketplace, I will notify Madam Wang immediately."
The elder in the green robe promised.
Li Heng, in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Early Stage, hailed from the Chaoyuan Sect.
"Good, thank you, Taoist Friend Li."
The woman in the purple skirt thanked him and, after a few more words of small talk, took her leave.
Li Heng took out a Law Disk shimmering with green light and sent a spell into it, and a respectful male voice sounded: "Master Uncle Li, there’s a senior at the stall plaza selling Tenth Grade Dao Pills, Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage Dao Soldiers, and Fourth Rank Immortal Pills."
"What? Tenth Grade Dao Pill? Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage Dao Soldiers? Who is this person?"
Li Heng exclaimed.
"I’m not sure; I’ve never heard of this person. He certainly isn’t from the Jinhua Immortal Domain. Should we invite him to Chaoyuan Garden?"
The man reported.
"There’s no need for now. First, send someone to check his background. If he likes setting up stalls, then let him be."
Li Heng instructed.
"Yes, Master Uncle Li."
The man agreed.
Li Heng gave a few words of advice and cut off the communication.
"It seems the allure of the Tianluo Immortal Brew is considerable, attracting so many Great Luo Golden Immortals."
Li Heng muttered to himself.
·······
More than half a month passed quickly, with a large influx of immortals pouring into Chaoyuan Marketplace, making it even more flourishing.
In the stall plaza, Shen Chan sat behind his small stall, engrossed in reading a thick blue book.
Ever since he began his stall, he attracted a large number of immortals, but only a few could exchange items with Shen Chan, mainly because they couldn’t offer anything that interested him.
Having traveled far and wide with Shen Long and Chu Buyu, Shen Chan had seen much of the world, and ordinary materials did not catch his interest.
"Senior Shen, are you interested in this Lihuo Immortal Jade?"
A respectful male voice sounded.
Shen Chan looked up to see a medium-built man in a blue shirt standing in front of the stall.
Judging from the aura of the man in the blue shirt, he was in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.
He held a delicate red jade box in his hand, appearing anxious.
"Lihuo Immortal Jade? Let me see."
Shen Chan said casually.
He proclaimed his surname as Shen to others, so it was normal for the other party to address him as Senior Shen.
The man in the blue shirt did not dare to delay and hurriedly handed the red jade box to Shen Chan.
Shen Chan opened the red jade box, revealing a red jade stone the size of an egg, with some golden patterns on its surface, resembling a flame.
"Liu Fire Immortal Jade! A fire attribute Dao material!"
Shen Chan’s expression remained unchanged, but he was astonished beyond measure internally.
Lihuo Immortal Jade is a Fourth Rank Immortal Material, while Liu Fire Immortal Jade is a Dao Material.
These two materials have many similarities, making it easy to mistake one for the other.
Shen Long acquired a book titled "Dao Material Catalogue" from the Heavenly Cunning Race’s Treasure Vault, which recorded various Dao materials, including Liu Fire Immortal Jade, which Shen Peng, Shen Chan, and others had studied.
Had Shen Chan not read the "Dao Material Catalogue," he might have also misidentified it.
"What do you want to exchange for this?"
Shen Chan asked.
"Would a Seventh Grade Dao Pill containing the Water Law do?"
The man in the blue shirt asked cautiously.
"Yes, I’ll give you an additional Seventh Grade Dao Pill to choose from; if you have more of this material, you can exchange it with me, even a Ninth Grade Dao Pill wouldn’t be out of the question."
Shen Chan said through divine transmission, his tone full of temptation.
The blue-shirted young man was slightly stunned and then realized that the material he had brought out was very valuable, or else Shen Chan wouldn’t be so agreeable.
He expressed his thanks, accepted the two Seventh Grade Dao Pills, and left.
"What is your name?"
Shen Chan asked.
"Junior Liu Lang."
The man in the blue shirt gave his name.
"My offer stands permanently; you may come to me anytime to exchange."
Shen Chan said through divine transmission.
Liu Lang responded affirmatively, bowed, and left.
More than half an hour later, Shen Chan packed up the stall and left.
He had just arrived at the entrance of Yuyang Pavilion when Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked out.
"Master, Mistress, I have something to report to you."
Shen Chan stated.
Shen Long and Chu Buyu were slightly taken aback, quickly realizing and returning to Yuyang Pavilion, closing the door.
"Master, Mistress, this is the Liu Fire Immortal Jade exchanged to me by a Taiyi Golden Immortal."
Shen Chan took out the Liu Fire Immortal Jade and briefly explained what had happened.
"The Liu Fire Immortal Jade is the same attribute as Mistress’s life-bound Immortal Artifact, the Xuanhuo Chi. If Xuanhuo Chi absorbs this Liu Fire Immortal Jade, it might evolve into a top-grade Primordial Immortal Treasure."
Shen Long handed the Liu Fire Immortal Jade to Chu Buyu.
Chu Buyu did not hesitate and took out the Xuanhuo Chi, bringing it into contact with the Liu Fire Immortal Jade.
The Xuanhuo Chi emitted dazzling red light, engulfing the Liu Fire Immortal Jade.
After a moment, the red light faded, and the Liu Fire Immortal Jade disappeared while the Xuanhuo Chi emitted a terrifying wave of Immortal Yuan Qi, having already been promoted to a top-grade Primordial Immortal Treasure.
