Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 469: Chapter 220: Immortal Martial Platform (Part 3)

In front of the cascading waterfall, Fu Yang stood dazed on a giant rock, enveloped in a pervasive aura of Yin Qi, dressed in a grey robe.

Clang!

A deep yet distinct sound of an iron chain suddenly resonated from the void behind him.

Upon hearing the noise, Fu Yang swiftly turned around, his grey eyes filled with a savage aura, staring intently at the void where the chain sound had emerged.

With a wave of his wide sleeves, numerous patterns of an array formation appeared around him.

An attack array was laid in the void, and streams of Geng Metal Sharpness flew within it, forcing out a figure clad in a well-fitted, profound black robe, with a Heaven-Reaching Crown.

The figure slowly emerged, revealing a young, handsome man with a fair complexion, devoid of facial hair.

The young man held a dark iron chain in his hand.

One end of the chain was fitted with a hook and scythe, while the other was bound to his right wrist.

The Geng Metal Qi from the attack array fiercely collided against him, yet was effortlessly deflected by that profound black robe.

Seeing the array was ineffective, Fu Yang was about to strike again when the handsome young man’s hook and scythe chain suddenly shot out like a terrifying giant python, binding Fu Yang tightly in an instant.

”Come with me, this is your great opportunity.”

The young man’s voice was ancient yet aged, starkly contrasting with his appearance.

Fu Yang’s body, trapped by the chain, struggled violently, but upon hearing the young man’s voice, he gradually calmed down.

The handsome young man flicked his wrist, pulling Fu Yang into the air and vanishing from sight.

...

Danzhou.

Wushan Market.

Shen Wen’an and Huang Lingshan strolled leisurely through the market, followed by two young men exuding a rich aura of magical artifacts and appearing extraordinary.

”Senior sister, are you sure there will be good treasures in this market?”

Shen Wen’an glanced over the stalls on either side of the road, not spotting anything that piqued his interest.

Huang Lingshan smiled lightly, ”Of course, don’t be anxious.”

As her voice fell, the young man behind them, dressed in a moon-white long robe and exuding elegance, cheerfully clasped his hands, ”Elder Sword Immortal, have you heard any news?”

Huang Lingshan glanced sideways slightly but didn’t respond.

The young man was not offended and continued, ”The Wushan Market is run by my Xue Family. If there were indeed treasures, the Xue Family would certainly be aware.”

”I believe it’s best for Elder Sword Immortal and this fellow Daoist not to waste your time.”

”In this market, there shouldn’t be anything better than the Primordial Spirit Fruit.”

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an stopped in his tracks and turned to clasp his hands, ”The Primordial Spirit Fruit is indeed good, but I have no use for it.”

”Since Xue Family has spread the word, allow us the time to select with my senior sister.”

”Is Fellow Daoist Xue lacking confidence in your ring master?”

The young man in white was momentarily stunned, then smiled indifferently.

”Since you insist, I shan’t say much more, but time is running short, and I hope Elder and Fellow Daoist can hurry.”

”Don’t end up unable to find even a treasure comparable to the value of the Primordial Spirit Fruit.”

Shen Wen’an did not respond, quietly following Huang Lingshan onward.

A while ago, after escaping from that elder with a conical hat and resting for a few days at the Thousand Feet Cliff of Yin Sword Peak, he followed Huang Lingshan to Wushan in Danzhou.

Wushan is a larger Immortal Mountain Blessed Land compared to Qishan.

But unlike Qishan, the entire Wushan has only one owner, the Golden Core Xue Family.

The Xue Family possesses two Golden Core Ancestors and is a powerful force in the cultivation realm of Danzhou, second only to the Upper Three Sects.

The Xue Family excels in business, and aside from the market and mines, their most renowned asset is the ”Immortal Martial Platform.”

Huang Lingshan brought him to the Xue Family specifically for the Immortal Martial Platform.

The Immortal Martial Platform is divided into four regions, according to the cultivator’s realm.

Every ten years, when the Immortal Martial Platform opens, the Xue Family offers corresponding Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Inheritance Techniques, etc., as prizes.

Then they appoint powerful cultivators as ring masters.

All cultivators in Danzhou can pay a certain amount of Spirit Crystals, challenge the corresponding platforms according to their realm, and take away the prize after winning five consecutive matches.

If challengers are unsatisfied with the prize, they can search the Xue Family’s markets for items of equal value as the prize, with a time limit of four hours.

Once challengers choose this method, they can only select prizes from the market, even if nothing in the entire market exceeds the Xue Family’s designated prize in value, it cannot be changed.

According to Huang Lingshan, the Upper Three Sects all have shares in the Xue Family’s Immortal Martial Platform business.

She herself is a ring master for the Golden Core platform of the Immortal Martial Platform.

Each appearance, regardless of the outcome, the Xue Family pays her a thousand Spirit Crystals.

However, no challengers have appeared on the Golden Core platform for over ten cycles, and each time the Immortal Martial Platform opens, the Golden Core platform has almost become a formality.

The most exciting remains the Fetal Breathing Realm platform.

This time, after paying an entry fee of two hundred Spirit Crystals, Shen Wen’an was waiting for the Immortal Martial Platform to open when Huang Lingshan suddenly received a secret message and hurriedly brought Shen Wen’an to Wushan Market.

The two people following them are from the Xue Family’s direct lineage, responsible for carrying back what Shen Wen’an selects from the market.

If Shen Wen’an succeeds in the challenge, the Xue Family will purchase the item. If the challenge fails, the item will be returned to its original owner.

Currently, Huang Lingshan and Shen Wen’an have been wandering in the market for three hours without deciding on the item to choose.
