Chapter 369 - 370 Chapter 375 The Holy Divine Relics of Nirvana

370: Chapter 375: The Holy Divine Relics of Nirvana 370: Chapter 375: The Holy Divine Relics of Nirvana “A seed?!” Ye Fan’s fingers had turned a crystalline purple.

He gently held up the bowl-sized purple Divine Crystal, bathed in a Divine Power and enveloped in a layer of purple mist.

The Red Dragon Daoist was extremely excited, red light flickering in his eyes as he stared at this stunning crystal.

His words were faint, only catching the attention of a few.

The Heavenly Stone Garden was bustling with noise, the clamor shaking the heavens.

People could hardly contain themselves; what they saw was too mystical—it was a Purple Qilin!

Within the Divine Crystal, the Purple Qilin, though small—no bigger than an infant’s fist—possessed an incomparable life force.

It was absorbing the essence of the Sun and Moon.

Endless Spiritual Qi was drawn in.

Each breath it took was like a surging tide, making everyone present feel as if they were baptized, their entire bodies suffused with comfort.

All of this was incredibly miraculous.

Everyone knew this was an unprecedented Immortal Treasure, possessing immeasurable value.

“A Purple Qilin… It truly exists in this world!

A creature on par with Immortals!

It’s as if I’m dreaming.

This is too unbelievable!” “It is a celestial spirit born from the harmonious union of heaven and earth, originating from the Ancient Times, perhaps even the Ancient Netherworld era, only emerging today…” …

Everyone was agitated; no one could remain calm.

If the Red Dragon Daoist hadn’t been standing there, a bloody battle might have already erupted.

Even so, a group of old codgers acted as if they had taken an aphrodisiac.

Full of vim and vigor, they pushed to the front, their eyes bloodshot.

This included the Grand Elders of the various Sacred Lands.

As for the Saint Heirs and sacred ladies, powerful as they were, they couldn’t compare to their own Grand Elders or the Greater Demons who held sway over regions.

They were all disheveled.

The younger generation was almost entirely pushed out, causing several sacred ladies to frown deeply.

The Ji Family’s Little Moon and the young nun from Great Xia cried out, protesting the actions of their elders.

How devastating!

This was the truest reflection of the Flickering Light people’s feelings.

With the emergence of the heaven-defying Purple Qilin, those guarding the Stone Garden felt like slitting their own throats.

The strange black stone known as the ‘devil fetus’ had been in the Stone Garden for who knew how many years, always dismissed as semi-worthless.

Yet, it had just produced such a shocking Immortal Treasure.

“This old man, representing the Myriad Tribulation Sect… wishes to purchase this rare treasure!” “Is the Myriad Tribulation Sect so impressive?

This old fellow, representing the Yin Yang Sect, sincerely wishes to buy this Immortal Treasure!” “Can you even afford it?

Do you have any idea what a Purple Qilin is worth?!” a Grand Elder from one of the Sacred Lands immediately sneered.

“If we can’t afford it, can you?!” The ancient figures from the various Great Sects showed no fear of the Sacred Lands’ Grand Elders, retorting sharply.

The group of old codgers looked ready to come to blows.

All were extremely agitated, showing no trace of senility; they appeared even more robust than the young Saint Heirs.

The Ji Family’s Little Moon and the young nun in white, holding the restless Divine Silkworm, cried out again, protesting that the older figures were stepping on their little feet.

“Enough!

Stop your squabbling!” a sovereign from the Ji Family spoke.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it silenced everyone.

He was tall and imposing, with hair as white as snow and skin like polished jade—a true Saint Master Level figure.

No one dared to treat his words as idle wind.

The Red Dragon Daoist snorted coldly.

“What is there to argue about?” With his hands clasped behind his back, he swept his gaze over everyone present.

All who met his eyes felt a chill, and not a single person dared to utter a word of rebuttal.

Such a terrifying figure—one who dared to openly attempt to kill the Flickering Light Sacred Master and then brazenly remain in the divine city—his presence alone spoke volumes.

Even the Ji Family’s sovereign, the third great bandit Xu Tianxiong, and the Imperial Uncle from the Central States’ Great Xia Dynasty kept a respectful distance from him, maintaining a safe gap.

“This seed… Our Great Xia wishes to contend for it!” The Imperial Uncle from the Central States’ Great Xia stepped forward.

Despite his apprehension towards the Red Dragon Daoist, he absolutely could not let this divine object go.

It was exceptionally precious, worth striving to obtain even if it meant facing danger.

One had to make an attempt.

“Our Ji Family is also willing to pay a sky-high price to acquire it!” the Ji Family’s sovereign declared resolutely.

Only Xu Tianxiong remained silent.

Although he dared to challenge the Sacred Lands, he couldn’t make a move to seize it now.

In terms of methods, he feared the Red Dragon Daoist; in terms of financial resources, he couldn’t compare to the other two.

As for the others, it went without saying; their hearts grew cold.

No matter how precious this purple Immortal Qilin was, it would never be their turn to make a bid.

“How can it be a seed?” Many were perplexed, utterly dumbfounded.

“Why is it a seed?

Isn’t it a little qilin beastie?” The young nun in white finally squeezed her way to the Great Xia’s Imperial Uncle.

No one dared to crowd her there, and she mumbled softly.

“Qilins, like Immortals, their very existence is uncertain,” the Great Xia’s Imperial Uncle explained softly, clearly doting on the little white-robed girl.

“Even if they do exist, they don’t descend to the mortal realm, so we would never see them.” “Grand-uncle, what exactly is it?” Ji Ziyue wheedled, shaking the Ji Family sovereign’s arm, not the least bit afraid of him.

“This is the seed of a divine medicine, the most precious holy divine relic in the world!” the Ji Family sovereign replied.

The seed of an Ancient Qilin Divine Medicine!

Ye Fan had seen the True Dragon Divine Medicine in the Myriad Dragon Nest, so he could naturally imagine what the Qilin Divine Medicine would be like.

The crowd burst into an uproar.

They hadn’t expected this.

How could a seed be qilin-shaped and possess such powerful life fluctuations?

In Ye Fan’s hand, within the purple Divine Crystal, the little qilin was remarkably lifelike, exquisitely detailed.

It was covered in Dragon Scales and seemed to be treading on water.

It had a dragon’s head, deer antlers, lion’s eyes, a tiger’s back, and a bear’s waist.

Furthermore, its back bore markings that resembled some kind of Heavenly Dao Divine Symbols, making it appear extremely arcane.

“The legends are true…” an elder murmured to himself.

Divine medicines are exceptionally rare.

Even in the Ancient Times, one could barely find a few.

They could offer supreme experts whose lifespans were depleted a chance at rebirth.

This was not to mention their effects on cultivators of other ranks; thus, they were revered as the most precious holy divine relics in the world.

Almost every divine medicine is unique; it’s incredibly difficult to find an identical second plant.

This itself showed its preciousness and sanctity.

Every divine medicine is virtually impossible to reproduce; they are singular.

If one is destroyed, it means it is erased from the world forever, hence they are called items of supreme Divine Grade.

And this was the fundamental reason why divine medicines were nowhere to be found today, having completely vanished.

“If they’re irreproducible, why is there such a seed?” someone asked in confusion, muttering softly.

“It’s formed from the Nirvana of a unique divine medicine itself…” an old man explained.

Ancient Divine Medicines are unparalleled; all possess Spirit Communication.

When facing destruction, they can escape, able to fly into the heavens or burrow deep into the earth.

Even more magically, they sometimes undergo Nirvana and rebirth.

Their essence condenses into a single seed, which then shatters the void to seek out more suitable Immortal Soil for growth.

This is a seed formed from the Nirvana of an Ancient Divine Medicine?!

Everyone present was dumbstruck.

Inside and outside the Stone Garden, it was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

People were utterly astounded.

Divine medicines also had another name—Immortal Medicine.

They possessed the heaven-defying power to resurrect the dead and regrow flesh on bare bones, and they themselves were virtually indestructible.

At this moment, everyone understood just how precious it was.

For the Sacred Lands, it was an absolutely priceless holy divine relic!

This seed pulsed with an incomparably powerful life force, proving it was brimming with vitality and could definitely be planted and cultivated successfully.

The Sacred Lands, with legacies spanning over a hundred thousand years without decay, could certainly afford the time to cultivate a divine medicine.

Even if it matured only once every few thousand years, that would be enough!

Harvesting the divine medicine every few thousand years, and accumulating several such harvests, could continuously extend the lives of exceptional individuals on the path to becoming a Great Emperor.

Perhaps they could even cultivate a Great Emperor this way!

Thinking of this outcome, how could the people of the Sacred Lands not be green with envy?

This was a supreme holy divine relic!

Ye Fan had previously cut out a fragmented, humanoid Ancient Divine Medicine.

Although it had roots and stems, without irrigation from a Divine Spring, it was impossible for it to revive.

Not to mention how severely damaged it was; even if it had been perfectly intact, if it couldn’t survive, it still couldn’t compare to this living Qilin Seed.

Now, without anyone needing to say it, everyone knew this seed was far more precious than the head of an Ancient King.

Especially for the Sacred Lands, it was an Immortal Treasure worth tearing away all pretense of civility to fight for.

Moreover, the seed itself was a life-extending treasure, as it was formed from the Nirvana of a divine medicine, retaining the essence of endless immortal substances.

Everyone’s eyes turned red with covetousness.

Fortunately, the Red Dragon Daoist was standing beside Ye Fan; otherwise, his life would have been in grave danger.

“The highest bidder gets it.

That is most fair!” the Ji Family’s sovereign declared.

People from the Sacred Lands voiced their agreement.

They had no top experts present and could only compete with financial power.

Otherwise, a single Xu Tianxiong would have been enough to slaughter them all.

The Red Dragon Daoist spoke, “I know what you’re all thinking.

Are you trying to exclude me?” His words were calm, yet they made people’s hearts pound.

He continued, “Ancient Great Emperors weren’t cultivated from piles of divine medicines.

If one cannot achieve enlightenment on their own, even nine chances at reincarnation would be useless!” The Divine Medicine Seed was qilin-shaped and bore Dao Glyphs on its back, resembling a celestial map.

It was extremely arcane and inexplicably wondrous.

At this moment, it continuously absorbed the essence of the Sun and Moon, as if reviving.

It inhaled and exhaled vital essence like undulating ocean waves, enveloping everyone in the Stone Garden in a sacred aura.

Ye Fan held the Qilin Seed.

His entire body had turned a crystalline purple, like jade.

I really don’t want to sell it, he thought.

I wish I could keep it.

“Let’s not argue for now.

We should quickly complete the Array Patterns.

If a Goddess leaps out from the Blood Sacrifice Platform, it will be a catastrophe.” The Ji Family’s sovereign suggested they finish inscribing the Array Patterns first, just in case.

As for the Qilin Divine Medicine’s seed, that could be discussed after the stone-betting session concluded.

“Little kid Ye, we won’t be able to hold onto this seed…” Li Heishui secretly transmitted his voice, continuously lamenting and clicking his tongue in dismay.

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Ye Fan had distinctly changed.

He had first cut out an Ancient Insect Divine Source and then the seed of a Qilin Divine Medicine, overshadowing the Source Technique Masters.

It left everyone astounded.

Even the proud Saint Heirs and sacred ladies were conveying goodwill, extending olive branches, to say nothing of the others.

A future Heavenly Source Master!

Many had already labeled him as such.

To overshadow Source Technique Masters at such a young age signified that his future achievements would be limitless.

He would very likely become an extraordinary figure of his generation.

Even when several Saint Master Level figures glanced his way, their expressions held a subtle difference.

“Continue cutting the stones!” Nangong Qi said, his face devoid of expression.

“So what if he cut out a Divine Medicine Seed?

Can it compare to a Goddess?

In the end, isn’t he still going to lose to us?” Several young members of the ancient families specializing in Source Technique were clearly unconvinced, sneering under their breath.

“Hmph!

Let him cut.

We congratulate him in advance for cutting out even rarer holy divine relics from the Immortal Tomb.

If he does, our harvest will be even richer!” They were confident they could cut out a Goddess and witness a miracle in the history of Source Technique.

They didn’t believe anything in the world could be more precious than that.

“Then open your eyes wide and watch carefully!

See if we can’t cut an Immortal out of the Immortal Tomb!” Li Heishui retorted defiantly, though in reality, he was very apprehensive.
