After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

83: The first person below the Nascent Soul stageFollowing the command from the female Cultivator in palace attire, several maids then stepped onto the high platform, each carrying a white jade box.

The female Cultivator in palace attire then opened the first white jade box under everyone’s gaze, and then explained with a smile.

”Fellow Daoists, everyone knows the rules. The first round of items in this trade fair will start with my Qizhen Pavilion!”

After speaking, the female Cultivator in palace attire waved her jade hand and took out a reddish-brown fruit from the white jade box. Spiritual energy surrounded her body, and light flowed, causing the Jie Dan Cultivators present to show expressions of longing.

”A thousand-year-old soul essence fruit. Taking it directly can aid in the growth of the soul and Divine Sense. It can also be combined with other auxiliary Spirit Medicine to refine soul essence pills!”

”The price is one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones or one superior-grade Spirit Stone. Each bid must not be less than fifty superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

”It’s actually a spirit fruit that can assist in soul cultivation!” Xu Qi’an was also slightly moved when he saw this treasure.

Although his soul cultivation progress was good, and he had now reached the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, obtaining this fruit might allow him to Cultivate his soul even faster.

Thinking this, Xu Qi’an decided to bid for this item.

However, there were quite a few Cultivators who wanted this item, because the Nascent Soul bottleneck involved Divine Sense, so almost all the Cultivators made bids.

”One hundred and fifty superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

”Three hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

”Five superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

...

Xu Qi’an was not in a hurry to make a move. When he saw that everyone’s bids were gradually slowing down, he seized the opportunity and shouted.

”Seven hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

As soon as the female Cultivator in palace attire on the high platform saw this price, she immediately beamed with joy. This price had far exceeded her expectations.

But just as Xu Qi’an thought he had secured the item, a cold snort slowly came from the corner of the room.

”Ten superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

”Where did this rogue Cultivator come from? How dare he compete with me!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard the voice and looked over, only to see a young male Cultivator who had reached the Core Formation Late Stage entering the venue.

The male Cultivator was followed by a large group of maids, and he walked over with his hands behind his back and an arrogant expression.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately didn’t even dare to breathe heavily and lowered their heads one after another.

Only Xu Qi’an was a little surprised, not knowing the background of this person.

A Core Formation Stage Cultivator next to him quickly reminded him: ”Fellow Daoist, don’t blame me for not reminding you. This Core Formation Stage Cultivator is Wenxiu Cliff, a Disciple of Wen Chenfeng, one of the two Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect!”

”His cultivation has even reached the Core Formation Late Stage, and he is rumored to be the number one person below the Nascent Soul Stage in Tiandao Country!”

The Cultivator quickly said a few words, then shrank his head back in fear, afraid that the Core Formation Late Stage male Cultivator would notice him.

Xu Qi’an rubbed his chin, a cold smile appearing in his heart: ”Oh? The number one person below the Nascent Soul Stage?”

He just smiled faintly twice, then spoke again: ”One thousand one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones!”

”You!”

The arrogant Cultivator named Wenxiu Cliff, upon hearing that Xu Qi’an actually dared to bid again, immediately his eyes seemed about to pop out, and a strong look of anger appeared on his face.

The female Cultivator in palace attire on the high platform was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Although her Qizhen Pavilion also had a Nascent Soul Cultivator as an Elder, he was not in Qizhen Pavilion at the moment.

Xu Qi’an spoke at this time: ”Fellow Daoist, this trade fair should go to the highest bidder, right? If no one is bidding, then quickly announce it!”

The female Cultivator in palace attire was stunned for a moment, then announced: ”One thousand one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones for the first time!”

”One thousand one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones for the second time!”

Just as the female Cultivator in palace attire was about to speak, that Wenxiu Cliff suddenly spoke.

”Wait!”

”Is this Fellow Daoist really going to oppose me, Wenxiu Cliff?”

”You are probably not at the Core Formation Initial Stage. Who are you!”

Xu Qi’an said lightly: ”Greetings, Dao Friend Wen. I am a rogue Cultivator. There is no need for Fellow Daoist to worry. I am not opposing Fellow Daoist. Since the rules are here, we must abide by them!”

”Rules?” Wenxiu Cliff burst into laughter upon hearing these two words.

”Fellow Daoist is right, rules, but my Heavenly Dao Sect is the rule!”

Wenxiu Cliff spoke extremely arrogantly, and a powerful Divine Sense immediately surged out, heading straight for Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he wrapped his entire body in Divine Sense, easily blocking it.

Wenxiu Cliff was slightly stunned by the sight, a hint of disbelief in his eyebrows.

”This person’s Divine Sense is actually not weaker than mine!”

An expression of gloom immediately flashed across his face, and then he suddenly noticed a slight movement in his Spirit Beast bag.

Changing the subject, he no longer made things difficult for Xu Qi’an, but said with interest.

”Fellow Daoist is quite skilled.”

”This thousand-year-old soul essence fruit won’t be of much help to me either.”

”Since Fellow Daoist needs this item, I’ll let you have it. Let’s go!”

”Oh, I presume Fellow Daoist is a Cultivator from another country, right? See you again in the Extraterritorial Battlefield!”

”At that time, Fellow Daoist must not refuse!”

Wenxiu Cliff’s laughter came again, but this person had already left the third floor, seeming completely uninterested in the treasures that were about to be auctioned later.

Xu Qi’an, however, sneered twice in his heart and didn’t take this person’s words to heart.

Upon contact just now, this person’s Divine Sense had also reached the Nascent Soul Stage, but even so, Wenxiu Cliff’s Divine Sense was not stronger than his.

As for whether they would meet in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, that was still uncertain.

The Cultivators present, seeing Wenxiu Cliff leave, finally reacted, and the expressions they looked at Xu Qi’an with became somewhat strange.

In their understanding, Wenxiu Cliff had never shown such a retreating behavior before.

But what was even more surprising was that the Cultivator before them was not afraid of Wenxiu Cliff at all.

And Wenxiu Cliff’s last words even caused a hint of surprise and fear to appear on their faces.

Xu Qi’an glanced at everyone’s expressions and understood. He said lightly: ”Fellow Daoist, can you announce the result?”

At this time, the female Cultivator in palace attire on the stage reacted and announced: ”One thousand one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones for the third time, bid by this Fellow Daoist!”

Next, several other items were auctioned, but unfortunately, they held basically no attraction for Xu Qi’an. They were all Magic Treasures, third-tier Talismans, or third-tier elixirs.

Even so, Xu Qi’an still bid on a water-attribute Magic Treasure of superior grade, preparing to give it to Water Lingmiao.

There was also a Body Refinement Cultivation Technique comparable to the Core Formation Stage, which Xu Qi’an was slightly interested in, so he pocketed it.

And Xu Qi’an obtained this Body Refinement Cultivation Technique with almost no effort.

When the many Cultivators present saw Xu Qi’an bid, they immediately stopped their actions, afraid that they might accidentally offend this Cultivator whose cultivation was unclear.

Soon, all the items auctioned by Qizhen Pavilion were completed.

What secretly disappointed Xu Qi’an was that none of the auctioned items were fourth-tier.

However, upon closer thought, he felt it was quite normal.

The real fourth-tier items, and even items that assist in forming a Nascent Soul, are all within the Heavenly Dao Sect, and it is likely very difficult for them to easily circulate out.

Moreover, this kind of item is also very difficult to bring out for auction.

Then, they arrived at the real part of the trade fair.

In this segment, the Core Formation Stage Cultivators present would take out items they considered valuable and trade them with each other.

This segment was mainly based on bartering, and it was rare to need ling stone.

Soon, with the soft voice of the female Cultivator in palace attire, an old man with an aged appearance walked onto the stage. His aura was actually at the Core Formation Late Stage.

He immediately waved his hand, and several items with a rich pearl and jewel luster appeared in mid-air.

He scanned the crowd, finally stopping on Xu Qi’an, then called out in a hoarse voice: ”These items are for a bottle of Baocui Liquid, or a two-thousand-year-old Thousand-Hand Brain, or a fifteen-hundred-year-old Purple Rhyme Spirit Flower.”

The old man’s items were truly extraordinary. Not only were there an extremely rare needle-shaped Magic Treasure, and a fourth-tier Low Grade Talisman, but it even included a third-grade high-tier demon beast inner core!

Each of these items was extremely precious, instantly causing the Core Formation Stage Cultivators present to erupt in excitement.

Xu Qi’an felt it was better than nothing. These items were not precious to him. What interested him was only the fourth-tier Low Grade Talisman.

This Talisman emitted a faint red light, and he had never seen it before. He presumed it was a new Talisman, and there should be some magical effects within it.

As for the Spirit Medicine that the Core Formation Stage Cultivator wanted, each kind was actually a spiritual item that assisted in forming a Nascent Soul, which also made Xu Qi’an speculate that this old man was probably nearing his lifespan limit and had to seek spiritual items to try and form a Nascent Soul.

Although the many Cultivators below the stage were enthusiastic, for a moment, not a single Cultivator spoke, which caused the old man on the stage to sigh secretly.

He even cast his gaze towards Xu Qi’an, but Xu Qi’an had his eyes looking up, ignoring him completely.

Not to mention not having it, even if he did, Xu Qi’an wouldn’t trade it.

Soon the old man put away his items and walked down dejectedly.

Xu Qi’an then transmitted his voice: ”Fellow Daoist, can you part with that fourth-tier Low Grade Talisman? I am willing to exchange it for a Spirit Medicine with two thousand five hundred years of medicinal power.”

Upon hearing this, the old man’s expression immediately showed some disbelief. After communicating with Xu Qi’an, he still reluctantly exchanged the item.

When Xu Qi’an saw the Talisman in his hand, he realized that this Talisman was actually just a substitute Talisman.

Although this Talisman was a fourth-tier Low Grade, its use did not rely on spiritual energy, but on Divine Sense. In other words, as long as the user’s Divine Sense was strong, they could use this Talisman to avoid some fatal attacks.

For example, if Xu Qi’an now had the Divine Sense of the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, then using this Talisman, he could avoid fatal attacks from the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!

If this Talisman were on someone else, it really wouldn’t be able to exert its fourth-tier effect, but for Xu Qi’an, it was a perfect fit, which made him secretly pleasantly surprised.

Moreover, after gathering treasures, this Talisman could also be given to Water Lingmiao and others. Although they couldn’t maximize the effect of this Talisman, it would still be enough.

Just as Xu Qi’an was deep in thought, another middle-aged Cultivator came onto the stage. His cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage.

He then took out a few items, but these were all third-tier items, which made it difficult for Xu Qi’an to be interested again.

However, one item this person took out made Xu Qi’an slightly strange. It was a wooden carving similar to a bull-headed horse-faced figure, palm-sized, but it didn’t look special at all.

When the middle-aged Cultivator introduced this item, he just casually mentioned that it came from the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and didn’t elaborate further.

The Core Formation Stage Cultivators around him didn’t see anything special about this item at all, and immediately looked at other things.

If Xu Qi’an hadn’t had Nascent Soul level Divine Sense, it would have been difficult for him to discover the special nature of this item.

He carefully probed it and found that this item seemed to have an internal space, and within that space, there was a ball of black flame!

This made Xu Qi’an slightly curious, and he immediately took out a bottle of elixir that was helpful for Core Formation Late Stage cultivation and exchanged it with this Cultivator.

This middle-aged Cultivator happily took the elixir and readily returned the item to Xu Qi’an.

He even boasted: ”Once the deal is done, Fellow Daoist, don’t regret it!”

Xu Qi’an just smiled at this.

After that, several other Cultivators came and went, but there were no more items that were worth Xu Qi’an’s attention. He just casually exchanged for some novel items, preparing to take them back for Water Lingmiao and others.

Soon, the trade fair ended.

Xu Qi’an no longer lingered and prepared to leave. At this time, the female Cultivator in palace attire called out to Xu Qi’an: ”This Fellow Daoist, please stay. Could you please wait for a moment? I have something important to discuss with you!”
