Chapter 399 Elixir Exchanged for Treasures: Fragment of the Thunderfire Diagram

"One Nascent Soul Pill and two Grade 4 High-Grade Sacred Abyss Demon Essence Pills. These are spiritual pills that can enhance cultivation and help a Grade 4 Demon King quickly accumulate demon essence."

This offer is considered very high.

The demon in the arena had an even more intense look in his eyes. He couldn't be sure before, but now he was certain that this person was a rare fourth-level alchemy master.

Seeing that discussions were gradually rising in the arena and no one was bidding anymore, the Five-Colored Saint Lord felt a little regretful, but still nodded in agreement.

“Very good, let’s exchange this Danxin Deer Antler Pearl with you.”

The deal is done.

Wang Yu also came into everyone's view. The demon king of the dragon-python clan frowned repeatedly as he saw the two-tailed shadow cat who had spoken to them earlier.

The two seemed to know each other very well.

The Dragon Python King couldn't help but ask a fellow demon of his own kind who had also transformed, "Has the Demon Cat Clan contacted our clan before, with a human Nascent Soul cultivator wanting the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform and willing to exchange it for a fourth-tier spirit pill?"

The other dragon-python was only at the early stage of the fourth rank and was in charge of managing the clan's affairs. Upon hearing this, a look of tension flashed in its eyes, and it spoke cautiously.

"Yes, there was... but we didn't respond. At the time, we were preparing for the Demon King's Banquet and didn't want to waste time on things that were uncertain, so..."

He was worried about being held accountable, since every demon clan liked alchemists, and fourth-tier alchemists were already top-tier masters they could come into contact with.

Missing out on the connections of such a master would be heartbreaking for anyone, and the Dragon Python King was no exception, but after only a moment's thought, he spoke.

"When that master comes down, send someone to deliver a dilapidated Tianwu Dao Platform, devoid of any remaining Daoist aura, as an apology gift. Tell them that the Dragon Python Clan was too busy with the banquet to notice the outside world."

"Once he accepts it, we'll then bring up the fact that our clan has three Heavenly Enlightenment Platforms that can be used for another twenty years, and ask him if he's willing to exchange them for Nascent Soul Pills."

"Yes, sir!"

The Heavenly Enlightenment Platform is a legendary treasure bestowed by immortals when they imparted their teachings. Simply sitting on it can enhance a cultivator's comprehension.

For ordinary cultivators, it may be a useless magic weapon, but for Nascent Soul cultivators, it is an excellent aid to comprehend supernatural powers and magic meanings by using the power of the Dao Platform.

therefore.

It not only worked extremely well for Wang Yu, but it was also a way for other Nascent Soul cultivators to quickly comprehend supernatural powers and techniques, but that was all.

After all, it has been too long, and the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform is almost in a dilapidated state. The Daoist aura on it will disappear quickly every time it is touched, so its use time is limited.

This kind of insightful blessing also has its limits.

Once it exceeds a certain threshold, it will become useless, and unless one comprehends the second kind of supernatural power, its effect on the Dragon Python King will become mediocre.

While he holds great power, he should exchange some high-grade fourth-tier cultivation pills to accelerate his progress to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, and at the same time cultivate some absolutely loyal humanoid subordinates.

His position will be even more secure.

And the most important gain was always befriending Wang Yu. The alchemy master was admired by everyone in Taihu Lake, and coveted and regarded as a standard in Chiyuan.

Among the demon race, that is a true treasure.

Extremely rare!

From a long-term perspective, sending some lavish gifts is an acceptable price to pay, the Dragon Python King thought to himself.

However, after Wang Yu went on stage and completed the transaction with the Five-Colored Holy Lord, he did not come down immediately. Instead, he became the second person to exchange treasures, waving his hand.

One after another, the radiant fourth-tier spirit pills were laid out like long snakes on the high platform, Wang Yu announced in a loud voice.

"There are ten Sacred Abyss Demon Essence Pills here: four high-grade, four mid-grade, and two low-grade. Fellow demon brothers, feel free to name your price if you are interested."

"If you find it suitable, I will agree to the transaction. I personally prefer the four spiritual materials with Yin and Ice attributes, or the main ingredient of a certain fourth-order pill formula."

The conditions he proposed were similar to those of the Five-Colored Holy Lord.

Aside from personal preferences, there are basically no other requirements; it all depends on what the transformed demons present have.

really.

When he took out more elixirs, the entire audience erupted in cheers. Nobody was a fool; even if Wang Yu hadn't refined them, the fact that he had produced so many of the same kind of elixirs meant that no one was a fool.

There are also alchemy masters behind it.

There are too many gains and losses to consider here. Even the Five-Colored Holy Lord, who was standing not far away, had the intention to recruit him. He is a talented person.

soon.

The Golden Horned Demon King, who had previously made a bid, offered the [Taihe Silver Flowing Gold] again. He cleverly suggested that he wanted to exchange it for a high-grade Sacred Abyss Demon Essence Pill.

The value of Silver Flowing Gold lies in alchemy; it is more suitable for alchemists than ordinary spiritual objects, and its price will naturally rise accordingly.

Wang Yu agreed immediately.

As long as the value isn't too outrageous, it's actually a win-win situation; he'll be willing to exchange it if the treasure is worth it.

“Master, I am willing to offer one portion of the [Icefield Marrow] in exchange for two high-grade spiritual pills.”

This is one of the treasures produced in the Endless Ice Plains.

Buried deep in the frozen soil.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to discover. This item could help him enhance the power of his supernatural abilities and refine his magic treasures, so he was equally tempted.

"One superior piece and two inferior pieces."

After a moment's hesitation, the other party readily agreed.

"Alright, I am the Earth Dragon Beast King. Today, I would like to make friends with you, Master."

"I will offer a piece of [Absolute Yin Divine Iron] in exchange for two mid-grade spiritual pills."

"Can."

Basically, it's two spirit pills for one type of fourth-tier spirit item.

Wang Yu's accepting attitude made the transformed demon kings who hadn't had a chance to speak anxious, and the bidding became more chaotic, but also more frequent.

"I offer one piece of [Crystal Sky Jade]".

"Change!"

"I'll offer one [Azure Frozen Stone]."

"Change!"

After this, all ten spirit pills were exchanged, and the arena became lively. Wang Yu felt the heavy harvest in his hands and was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With another wave of his hand, he killed two Nascent Soul cultivators and seized Zi Dian's wealth. He now had many fourth-tier magic treasures, but many of them were not suitable for his methods.

When they were brought out, they immediately caused astonishment among the demons. Judging from their attributes and styles, these magical treasures clearly came from different cultivators.

Two of their natal magic treasures became the core items.

This means... these magical artifacts are all—loot!

The treasure exchange continues.

The Demon King's Banquet featured over a hundred transformed demon kings of various attributes, so Wang Yu had no shortage of buyers.

Before long, he had acquired three more fourth-tier spiritual items, including the [Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass], a spiritual item of the main ingredient level for spiritual pills of the divine sense type.

He plans to use the [Blue Feather Spirit Gold] water-attribute material, along with the [Taihe Silver Flowing Gold], as the main materials for refining the new alchemy furnace. He hasn't decided yet who to ask to help him.

Considering that there is also a huge corpse of a Dragon Blood Demon Tree in the Sea Heart Ring, if we can use water to nourish wood and then use wood to strengthen fire, it might be a good idea to take a core material and use it in the alchemy furnace.

With his true identity concealed, and given the lack of masters in various arts and crafts among the northern demon clan, he faced the awkward situation of having no one to ask for help.

At this point, the limitations of being a "freelance cultivator" become even more apparent. Many hands make light work, and the cultivation world can actually be seen as a society in itself.

Each master is like a production company.

Independent practitioners are like students who have dropped out of school and are walking in modern society. Starting a business is difficult, and meeting various needs is even more challenging. If they don't learn it themselves, they can only seek help from others.

Personal networks have emerged as a result.

He doesn't use talismans and formations much, though the latter can be temporarily replaced by feng shui techniques. But alchemy and weapon crafting are hard to ignore, so he might consider learning weapon crafting.

The existence of the placement bar can save him countless hours and pave the way for him to become an all-rounder.

This path may not be the right one.

However, he is an indispensable and excellent helper when he wants to learn more skills. He remembers that there is a chapter on weapon crafting in the ancient art of demon refining.

Perhaps we could consider developing and refining this further.

The third treasure is a fragment of a map – the [Thunder and Fire Fragment Map]. This item came from the first abbot of the Thunder and Fire Temple. It is said that he recorded some places where thunder and fire existed in the world when he traveled around.

Due to the incompleteness of the maps, only some locations can be vaguely identified. Also, due to the great passage of time and the changes in topography over the years, finding these places is very difficult.

It is still uncertain whether the heavenly thunder and fire contained within have been taken away; the transformed demon who took out this item was merely trying it out.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yu actually switched with him.

The purpose of exchanging this fragmented map is to cultivate the [Thunder and Lightning] secret technique. On the other hand, the Ice Dragon Flame's future path to the fifth rank may be accomplished by devouring the essence of other spiritual flames.

The sense of accomplishment from cultivating a powerful flame from scratch is incredibly satisfying; it's a feeling of complete harmony and perfection that belongs entirely to you.

It was no less invigorating than the feeling of breaking through a cultivation level.

That concludes the discussion.

Some made exchanges, others refined pills; the three Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged their wealth for things useful to Wang Yu. For this alone, their trip to the Demon King's Banquet was worthwhile.

After the exchange was over, Wang Yu spoke.

"I am currently challenging the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain. After that, I will stay with the Demon Cat Clan for a while. If any friends are interested in alchemy, please feel free to come and find me."

Leaving a hook for further transactions, Wang Yu returned to Blackie's side and immediately saw those teary eyes, causing his lips to twitch involuntarily.

"Brother Hei, what are you doing?"

"Brother, you are so kind. If you spread these words today, my demon cat clan will surely become a hot commodity among the demons of the North. Countless demon kings will beg you to refine pills for them."

Wang Yu, however, shook his head.

"This is both an opportunity and a danger. Whether I can cultivate in peace and trade normally with the demon race depends on the backer that Brother Hei has found."

After saying this, Brother Hei hurriedly called back the messenger who had gone to the Giant Ant Clan. The Giant Demon King was ranked seventh among the demon kings.

He has the strength, but it's not enough. Since Wang Yu is willing to refine pills and trade, he might as well find the biggest backer... Tianpeng King!

Yes.

He had a feeling that something was wrong with the Five-Colored Holy Lord, so he followed his intuition and chose the Heavenly Roc King, who had the most kingly aura. That's how sensitive a cat is!

After Wang Yu stepped down, he took out almost all the treasures he could exchange for. He had two Nascent Soul Pills left, one for Xue Yu and the other for unforeseen circumstances.

Whether to sell it or give it away is still undecided.

Whether it's Yu Tangtang, Yan Ling, or Lei Yao, he doesn't need to worry about them; they all have powerful connections to help them obtain the Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

The only one who needed his help was Tantai Chan.

This thing is in high demand but priceless; it's always out of stock, and you can't buy it even with spirit stones, so it's mostly sold as a barter item.

It's impossible to give it away for free, but it can be sealed for hundreds of years.

Giving Tantai Chan priority in purchasing is a very humane approach in Chi Yuan.

The most ruthless people in the world were often the most passionate people in the past.

He is also the most stubborn person.

Before long, as the third person went on stage to display their spiritual items, the treasure exchange continued. Wang Yu had exchanged all the spiritual items he had, and what remained were all useful items.

To avoid developing the feeling that "this treasure is destined for me" if I continued to look, I wanted to leave this place and continue to explore the Ancient Beast Ancestor Mountain.

Just then.

Many demons took the initiative to approach.

"Master, would you be so kind as to visit my Wind Wolf Clan? We will certainly do our utmost to entertain you and honor you as our clan master..."

"Get out of here! This is no place for your Wind Wolf Clan to speak. Master, why don't you come to my Heavenly Horned Bull Clan?"

"Ridiculous! How about you come to my Mountain-Opening Beast Clan, Master?"

When the Nine Demon Kings spoke, the demon cultivators, though indignant, stopped talking and dared not offend them in the slightest.

Times change.

With the Holy Lord newly established, it was the time to establish authority by having troublemakers. The nine demon kings also wanted to take the opportunity to demonstrate their strength and subdue more demons as subordinate races.

Wang Yu's appearance made him the center of the vortex.

The fourth-tier early-stage transformed demon sent by the Dragon Python King finally squeezed in from the outside and directly delivered the damaged version of the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform, whose effects had disappeared.

It spoke loudly.

"Master, this is a token of our apology. Our Dragon Python Clan is willing to engage in a transaction involving spirit pills. When would you have time to discuss this further?"

Upon hearing this...

Although Wang Yu was unhappy, he still prioritized his own interests and saw no need to go against the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform, which he had been thinking about day and night ever since he had used it.

Even if the Dao Platform isn't as sustainable as the [Exquisite Inner Core] which can permanently enhance comprehension, it's still the best way to accelerate deduction. Even if the Dragon Python Clan doesn't like it, there's no need to refuse it.

"After the Demon King's banquet, my friend, you can go to the Demon Cat Clan's territory, and we can discuss this in detail."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later."

The dragon-python envoy returned overjoyed, having finally fulfilled the dragon-python king's expectations. However, the other demons around them misunderstood the situation.

They all resorted to the "money trick".

"Oh dear, it was my oversight that I neglected you, Master. This is an apology gift from my Bloodthirsty Demon Tree clan. What do you think, Master?"

"Let's go wait in the Demon Cat Clan's territory too."

Wang Yu's eyes twitched as he received wave after wave of gifts.

It took quite a while to finish dealing with it.

Brother Hei couldn't help but say, "Bai Ling, go back and tell the clansmen to make preparations and build a temporary meeting hall."

"I understand."

There were too many important figures to entertain, so he needed to make good preparations. He also needed to personally go and talk to King Tianpeng, otherwise he wouldn't be able to meet the needs of these demon kings.

It can easily escalate the relationship, turning cooperation into a fight for people.

Wang Yu is just one person; he can neither be in two places at once nor has three heads and six arms. Given his current efficiency, it's difficult for him to satisfy all the demon races, especially since the needs of just one race are already enormous.

The specifics of how to proceed still need further consideration.

“Brother Hei, I’ll go to the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain first. If I can obtain the Beast God’s inheritance at the summit, this matter will surely go smoothly.”

“I understand, my dear brother, please do it.”

First update. I stayed up late yesterday and got up relatively late.

Sorry~
