Ya Fei quickly concealed the expression on her face, her demeanor returning to calm and composed neutrality.

She cast a glance at Wei Yang, a flicker of complexity flashing in her eyes before swiftly fading away.

With a slight smile, she remarked, ”Master Wei, you certainly are... quite direct. A little lacking in charm, perhaps.”

”A person’s time and energy are limited.” Wei Yang’s tone remained indifferent. ”I’m very busy. I have no interest in wasting time on meaningless matters.”

”Meaningless, huh...” Ya Fei gritted her silver teeth. Why did that sound so harsh?

Wei Yang lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said, ”Let’s get back to business. Since the Acceptance Soul has been found, let’s discuss the price.”

Ya Fei’s expression became serious, and she spoke solemnly, ”Acceptance Soul is an extremely rare treasure, said to appear only in high-grade spatial stones, and even then, the chances of finding one are extremely low.”

”While Acceptance Soul isn’t as widely used as spatial stones, it is something countless alchemists desperately seek. Its value and rarity—Master Wei, you should be well aware.”

Wei Yang nodded.

Of course, he knew just how precious Acceptance Soul was.

It was essential for low-level cultivators who wished to refine Heavenly Flames, as it allowed them to create a small storage space within their dantian to hold the flame.

In the original story, Yao Lao had mentioned that a single Acceptance Soul was more valuable than even a Tier 5 Pill. Its worth surpassed even Blood Lotus Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Fountain combined, which spoke volumes about its rarity.

A common spatial stone could be used to craft low-grade storage rings, and even the cheapest storage ring was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, far more than most low-tier pills.

The price of a mid-grade storage ring was several times higher—sometimes even tenfold.

As for high-grade storage rings, they were priceless treasures, so rare that even major factions and powerful individuals struggled to obtain them.

Given that high-grade spatial stones were already incredibly scarce, and that Acceptance Soul could only appear within them by sheer luck, its rarity was practically one in a million—to call it as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns would not be an exaggeration.

That being said, Acceptance Soul’s primary function was to store Heavenly Flames, so its usage was quite limited.

Its true value was only realized by those who needed it.

At least within Jia Ma Empire, Acceptance Soul hadn’t reached the level of being a universally priceless item.

Not everyone who refined Heavenly Flames actually required Acceptance Soul.

Only those like Xiao Yan, who attempted to refine a high-tier Heavenly Flame while at a low cultivation level, needed Acceptance Soul to prevent their dantian from being destroyed by the flame’s backlash.

If a person’s strength was high enough, Acceptance Soul was unnecessary for refining Heavenly Flames.

Take Yao Lao, for example—even though he was reduced to a spirit form, he had no fear of being consumed by Bone-Chilling Flame.

Of course, this was because he had long since tamed Bone Chilling Flame, so even in his weakened state, he could still control it effortlessly.

Similarly, in the Magma World beneath the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower in Jia Nan Academy, Tian Huo Zun Zhe was able to command Fallen Heart Flame, despite his soul being on the verge of complete dissipation.

That was because both forms of Fallen Heart Flame had already been tamed by Tian Huo Zun Zhe, and he had left a soul imprint on their essence.

Thus, for those who needed it, Acceptance Soul was an invaluable treasure.

For those who didn’t, its value was debatable.

”Our clan paid a great price to obtain these two Acceptance Soul,” Ya Fei said. ”So, as for the price...”

Wei Yang immediately raised two fingers. ”One Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, and one ordinary Three Lines Green Spirit Pill?”

Ya Fei’s eyes lit up for a moment but then she shook her head. ”Not enough.”

Wei Yang frowned slightly. ”One Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, and one Dou Spirit Pill?”

This time, Ya Fei smiled and nodded. ”That will do!”

Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill – A peak Tier 4 pill, valuable enough to rival Tier 5 pills.

Dou Spirit Pill – A true Tier 5 pill, capable of increasing a Dou Wang’s strength by one or two stars.

For Mittel Auction House, exchanging two Acceptance Soul for these two pills was an extremely profitable deal.

In fact, this price was even slightly above their expectations.

With the deal settled, Wei Yang stood up. ”I will return in ten days.”

”Master Wei, take care.” Ya Fei gracefully rose to see him off.

Wei Yang returned to the small valley, his mood particularly good after this successful trip.

Flying through the air, he glanced downward through the light mist.

Below, in the valley, a graceful white figure wandered leisurely, accompanied by a few colorful butterflies fluttering around her.

Noticing Wei Yang’s return, the white-clad figure looked up and waved a delicate jade-like hand.

Wei Yang chuckled softly, retracting his Dou Qi Wings as he descended.

”Was the transaction successful?” Xian’er approached, adjusting Wei Yang’s robe for him.

”Mm, it went very well.” Wei Yang grinned.

”I noticed you flew back using ordinary Dou Qi Wings. Did you trade away those Black Wings as well?” Xian’er asked curiously.

”Yes. Now that I’ve reached Dou Wang, those wings aren’t as useful to me anymore.”

Wei Yang wrapped an arm around Xian’er’s slender waist, and the two strolled toward their cave residence. He continued, ”So, I exchanged them with Yao Lao for a Low-Level Earth Grade Movement Technique. You can cultivate it as well—killing two birds with one stone.”

”A Low-Level Earth Grade Movement Technique?!” Xian’er gasped in shock.

That was an Earth Grade technique!

”Too high? I think it’s fair,” Wei Yang explained. ”After all, those Black Wings were a High-Level Xuan Grade Flying Technique. Their value isn’t much lower than an Earth Grade technique—perhaps a movement technique is slightly more valuable, but overall, it’s a fair exchange.”

”What about the Green Lotus Core Flame?” Xian’er asked expectantly.

If a simple High-Level Xuan Grade Flying Technique could be exchanged for an Earth Grade Movement Technique, then what about a Heavenly Flame?

Could it be that he actually traded it for a High Earth Grade Cultivation Technique?

”Heh, this time I gained a lot. Let me explain it all to you slowly.” Wei Yang smiled mischievously.

At the stone table, Wei Yang and Xian’er sat facing each other.

Before them, an assortment of books, scrolls, jade slips, and handwritten notes lay stacked in a pile.

Xian’er was utterly stunned by the sight. Her small hands flitted between the items, her gaze darting from one to another, as if overwhelmed by the sheer wealth before her.

Among these treasures, the most eye-catching was a red-gold scroll, radiating an aura of deep mystery and scorching heat.

This scroll contained a Quasi-Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique along with its matching Dou Technique!

Another crimson scroll emanated an immensely powerful aura.

This one recorded a Mid-Level Earth Grade Fire Control Technique—Nine Dragons Fire Control Technique.

A third pale-red scroll was relatively less impressive.

It contained the Low-Level Earth Grade Movement Technique.

The rest of the collection included the legacy of a Peak Tier 7 Alchemist, along with numerous pill recipes.

Xian’er was ecstatic.

Her eyes still held a dazed expression, as if she were dreaming.

These treasures were beyond imagination.

Any one of them, if released into the world, could cause an uproar across the Jia Ma Empire—even shake the surrounding nations.

”From now on, we’re going to be very busy,” Wei Yang said with a grin.

”Mm!” Xian’er nodded firmly.

Whether it was cultivation technique modification, alchemy training, fire control techniques, or movement techniques, all required a great deal of time.

”Brother Yang, if we’re going to modify our cultivation techniques, we should go to the Magma World of the Tagore Desert,” Xian’er suggested.

Wei Yang nodded. ”I was thinking the same.”

The environment there was rich in fire attribute energy and natural fire toxins, making it perfect for modifying fire-based cultivation techniques.

”However, before we go, I need to refine a Dou Spirit Pill first.” Wei Yang smirked. ”In ten days, I have to return for the Acceptance Soul transaction.”
