The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Intense Competition

Dao Essence Fruit can hardly be found on the Heavenly Origin Continent, yet one could still find some in the Despair Abyss.

Originally, Yi Xiaozi and her sister stumbled upon the Despair Abyss by mistake and found more than a dozen Dao Essence Fruits. Although there was a great element of luck, it also indicated that the Despair Abyss was a growing place for Dao Essence Fruits.

And to the average martial artist on the Heavenly Origin Continent, the Despair Abyss was an absolute Forbidden Land, but to Dao Emperor Realm practitioners, it was also a very good treasure-hunting spot. Although there were dangers lurking, enormous gains could be made.

Therefore, at this moment, in the Splendid Dojo, there seemed to be quite a number of Dao Emperor Realm practitioners, each with Dao Essence Fruits.

”I offer thirteen Dao Essence Fruits, just to exchange for two Perfect Quality Heavenly Snow Elixirs!”

The competition was quite fierce.

Jing Yan wore a slight smile; he enjoyed such a scene. The fiercer the competition, the higher the price, which was more beneficial for him and meant more rewards he could obtain.

”Sixteen Dao Essence Fruits in exchange for two elixirs! I, Zheng Sanxiao, don’t believe I can’t get these two Heavenly Snow Elixirs!” A Dao Emperor Realm elder stood up and shouted loudly.

This Zheng Sanxiao was also a well-known martial artist among loose cultivators. Jing Yan knew him; he was at the Peak Dao Emperor Realm Cultivation.

Zheng Sanxiao had always been quite active on the continent. Unlike most peak level loose cultivators of the Dao Emperor Realm, who preferred hiding away in seclusion, this man often made appearances on the continent and had many friends.

Sixteen Dao Essence Fruits!

When this bid was announced, several other Dao Emperor Realm practitioners who were interested in the Heavenly Snow Elixir shook their heads and backed down, either because the price was already too high or because they wanted to give Zheng Sanxiao some respect.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, Jing Yan announced directly, ”Congratulations Brother Sanxiao, these two Heavenly Snow Elixirs belong to you!”

Jing Yan pushed two jade bottles directly in front of Zheng Sanxiao, who in turn threw his Sumeru Ring containing the sixteen Dao Essence Fruits to Jing Yan. He cupped his hands towards Jing Yan and then sat back down.

Next up was the bidding for the last two Heavenly Snow Elixirs. With the previous prices as a reference, everyone had a ballpark figure in their minds.

Soon, the last two Heavenly Snow Elixirs were also exchanged.

Jing Yan was very satisfied with the elixir exchange; the bounty was even better than he had anticipated.

”The next batch of elixirs is the Dragon Tiger Pill, which can nourish the Divine Soul of martial artists.” Jing Yan took out twenty or thirty jade bottles.

”Dragon Tiger Pills?”

”Weren’t Dragon Tiger Pills already lost to time? It’s said that the Pill Formula had long been lost!”

”Humph, what does it matter if the Pill Formula is lost? Hall Master Jing Yan can even refine the Longevity Pill; have you ever heard of it before?”

The moment the Dragon Tiger Pills were brought out, the discussion erupted. However, some from the major powers were rather calm about the emergence of the Dragon Tiger Pills.

Jing Yan had once refined Dragon Tiger Pills during the Alchemy Conference, so members of well-informed major powers knew about it.

This time, however, the Dragon Tiger Pills didn’t seem to immensely interest the peak Dao Emperor Realm loose cultivators.

While the Dragon Tiger Pills were somewhat effective for Dao Emperor Realm martial artists, the effect was quite average because their Divine Souls were too strong.

Moreover, although Dragon Tiger Pills were said to have nourishing effects on the Divine Soul, this was merely nourishment and not true repair.

When martial artists suffered Divine Soul trauma during breakthroughs, Dragon Tiger Pills could speed up recovery. But if the Divine Soul was directly damaged, sustaining partial loss, then taking Dragon Tiger Pills would be useless.

The loose cultivators of the Dao Emperor Realm had little interest, but those Dao Emperor Realm martial artists from families and Dao King Realm practitioners were much more enthusiastic.

Any family would probably have many of their younger members suffering from Divine Soul injuries due to failed breakthroughs. Naturally, their demand for Dragon Tiger Pills would be much stronger.

If this elixir was effective for Dao Emperor Realm practitioners, not to mention Daoist Master Realm and Dao King Realm martial artists.

For example, within a family, if a practitioner at the Dao King Realm Peak failed a breakthrough to the Dao Emperor, damaging his Divine Soul, without Dragon Tiger Pills, this practitioner might forever lose the possibility of further breakthroughs. But with Dragon Tiger Pills, the situation would be drastically different. They could have a second or even third or fourth chance.

Therefore, in the venue, there were indeed many fervent gazes.

”Before we proceed with the exchange, let me clarify something!”

”Two-thirds of these Dragon Tiger Pills here are of Perfect Quality, and one-third are First-class quality.”

”When you make your exchange, you may select any Jade Bottle from my hand but cannot open the bottle to inspect the quality of the pills. In other words, whether the pills you pick are perfect or first-class, it will depend on personal luck!”

Jing Yan explained.

These Dragon Tiger Pills had been refined by Jing Yan before he obtained the second part of the Qiankun Pill Path, at a time when his pill-refining capabilities were far less than now. Hence, there were quite a few first-class quality Dragon Tiger Pills.

With this explanation from Jing Yan, everyone understood and there was no backlash.

After all, two-thirds of the Dragon Tiger Pills were of Perfect Quality. They had a relatively high chance of selecting the perfect ones by random choice. If they indeed selected First-class pills, then so be it – it would just be bad luck.

”Friends who are interested in the Dragon Tiger Pill may start bidding now!” Jing Yan said, waving his hand.

”Hall Master Jing Yan, if we would like to exchange for all the Dragon Tiger Pills, is that possible?” A man in purple robes stood up and asked loudly.

”My friend, as long as you have enough precious materials, you absolutely can. There are no limits to the number of exchanges for Dragon Tiger Pills. All those I present here can be exchanged,” Jing Yan told the practitioner.

”I offer ten stalks of Thousand Kite Grass to exchange for ten Dragon Tiger Pills!” Not far from the man in purple robes, a man in green robes spoke with a deep voice.

This man in green robes belonged to the Cheng Family, one of the Seven Great Families.

Members of the Seven Great Families had also come to the Pill Debate Conference, but they didn’t register their information. Instead, they had someone else register and then blended in with the crowd to sneak in.

Dragon Tiger Pills had an enormous appeal to the Great Families and Houses.

Regarding the Thousand Kite Grass he mentioned, it was indeed a very precious ninth-grade Spirit Grass. This kind of Spirit Grass would appear at the top auctions on the Heavenly Origin Continent, generally priced over ten million Spirit Stones.

Ten stalks of Thousand Kite Grass for ten Dragon Tiger Pills was considered a reasonable exchange. However, scarce goods are precious; there were only so many Dragon Tiger Pills, yet many families in demand, so exchanging ten stalks of Thousand Kite Grass for ten Dragon Tiger Pills seemed rather unlikely.

”Ten stalks of Thousand Kite Grass, and you think to exchange for ten Dragon Tiger Pills? Haha, my Lan Family offers ten stalks of Thousand Kite Grass plus a Purple Cloud Stone in exchange for ten Dragon Tiger Pills!” Another elder stood up, first sneered at the Cheng Family elder, then named his own bid.
