Chapter Eighteen: Treasure of Nine Ranks, Seven Colors Unfolding

  Gloomy pearl, you have no name and remain silent with a calm demeanor.

  This Yuanyang Pearl is also of great use to him, let alone the value of a sixth-grade treasure which cannot be measured by its usefulness. The old man has already said so much, and he naturally can't pretend to be unmoved anymore.

  Treasures are divided into nine grades, with the first grade being ordinary goods and the ninth grade being top-grade. Above the ninth grade is a spiritual tool.

  Sixth-grade treasures can already be considered rare and precious treasures. On the boundless mainland, such treasures are also extremely rare!

  "Ancestor, since this matter concerns the ancestral dao path, although this object is extremely precious, Wu Ming naturally does not want to obstruct the ancestral dao path. This treasure is a six-stage treasure, and its promotion space is vast. As long as it is nurtured properly, achieving the yin-yang spiritual pearl is not a problem."

  At this point, Jun Wuming subconsciously glanced at the expressionless Bai Meilin Ji in the distance and said, "I heard that the clan elder's family is wealthy, I wonder what you want to use to exchange for the Youming Pearl in my hand?"

  The black-robed old man nodded his head in agreement, a smile spreading across his face, and then said solemnly.

  "Don't worry, young one, as a senior member of our clan, I wouldn't cheat you just because you're younger; it's an equal exchange."

  Having spoken, he bowed to the three powerful beings in the clouds and lightly tapped the black compass in his hand. It transformed into a black curtain that covered the vast cloud layer. Four gazes from the clouds looked over at the same time. The old man in black clothes looked at Jun Wuming and said, "Young Master, I don't know what you want to exchange - techniques, divine abilities, rare treasures, or perhaps spiritual objects?"

  "Tribe elder, I don't know what treasure can be exchanged. Can you explain one by one?" Lord Wúmíng saw the black-robed elder being so cautious and serious, his expression relaxed, and he smiled softly.

  "Very well, I'll explain it to you one by one. I've been cultivating for over 180 years, but my talent is inferior and I've wasted a hundred years." At this point, the old man in black paused slightly.

  "The path of cultivation requires opportunity, wisdom, and talent. Without any one of these, it is impossible to succeed. The Heavenly Gold List records three thousand Dao bodies, with a hundred standing out as champions. I was born with a mortal body, not like you who were born with a pre-heavenly body that has exceptional talents." The old man in black sighed as he spoke.

  However, my luck was not comparable to that of ordinary people. I had many strange encounters and obtained several protective treasures, barely achieving the third stage of extreme realm and half a step into the fourth stage.

  By this time, the old man in black had returned to his calm demeanor, and his emotions were no longer fluctuating. With the success rate of refining the Jade of Netherworld reaching as high as 80%, he only needed to be more careful and cautious, and achieving the Yin Spirit was within sight, which also slightly improved his mood.

  "Among the eighteen elders of our clan, there are not many who can take out treasures above sixth grade. I am one of them, and your master is also one of them. Qinglao Gui is best at hiding secrets, and he gained a lot from the last Qinghe Temple!"

  This Qinghe Shengong matter, you are quite knowledgeable about it. It is a secret palace hidden underwater, said to be a detached palace of the great Qinghe Shengong of the past generation. However, since Qinghe Shengong's disappearance, this Qinghe detached palace has been hidden without a trace. Recently, one of the detached palaces was accidentally triggered by a cultivator, and it was discovered by many cultivators.

  "I have obtained a few unusual items from several strange encounters. Let me show you the first one."

  The black-robed elder swung his large sleeve, and a fiery red treasure light shot straight into the sky. Fortunately, the surrounding area was sealed off by a black light screen, so although this fiery red treasure light was dazzling and extremely powerful, it couldn't break through the black light screen.

  "This object is called Huo Long Ling Shan, a sixth-grade treasure! Look at this object, crystal clear and transparent. Legend has it that it was formed by coral absorbing the essence of dragon veins from volcanic areas for thousands of years, with an age of as many as three thousand years."

  You see before your eyes this three-foot-tall coral spirit tree with fiery red light radiating in all directions, which is quite thought-provoking.

  In this world, the spiritual veins are divided into several grades, but those that can be called dragon veins are extremely rare, only a few dozen out of millions. Even among the 365 sacred peaks under the ancient continent's heavenly circuit, most are only king-grade spiritual veins, with only a few dozen being dragon veins, and only nine being ancestral veins.

  The dragon's pulse is pure and refined, the fiery red color of the Yang energy bursts forth with waves of warm energy, not only has a calming effect on the mind, but also can ward off external demons. This spiritual tree, nurtured by the essence of the dragon's pulse, is extremely rare, indeed worth more than the Yuanyang Pearl.

  However, after sizing it up several times, he shook his head and said, "Elder, this thing is precious, but it's of no great use to me. You should know that my body has a congenital yuan yin constitution. The power of my innate yang is also different from ordinary people, and external demons can't invade. Now that I've just solved the problem of my innate yang being restless, this thing is no longer of much use to me at this stage."

  This fire dragon coral spirit tree was of great use to you before the little black snake appeared.

  You unknowingly inhaled the heavenly sun's true fire energy when you were young and absorbed the innate purple energy. In recent years, as your body grew, it stirred up the innate yuan yang energy inside. If you had the gentle and warm power of the Fire Dragon Coral Spirit Tree to suppress and harmonize it earlier, it would have been a good solution. However, now that the yin-yang spirit snake has harmonized the stirring innate yuan yang energy inside, this object is somewhat useless for him.

  "When you see me, don't be nameless and shake your head. The old man in black said, 'I have a method called Qinghe Canjuan, which is the water system's great divine transmission law. Although it's incomplete, its value is worth a city, and it's a great method for passing down to future generations. Those who cultivate this method will have unparalleled powerful techniques, with the Qinghe Sword Array hidden within. When the sword array is laid out, it can transform into an endless, vast world of Qinghe, creating a self-contained water world within the array. The waters will be transformed into swords, and the strange and extraordinary phenomena will be boundless. As long as the Qinghe is not broken, the sword array will not be broken.'"

  He finished speaking and threw a cyan-colored treasure scroll towards Jun Wuming, who caught it with one arm. With a surge of spiritual power, he lightly touched the cyan-colored treasure scroll in his hand, and this scroll was opened by Jun Wuming's finger, transforming into a river of words that flowed like a green mist, with large amounts of text floating and dancing in the air. This was part of the scroll's scripture, but most of its content was sealed and obscured by a black imprint.

  This Qinghe residual volume is indeed extraordinary. This scroll has words: the great method of Qinghe is divided into nine volumes, this being the second volume. Practitioners can reach the fourth stage of secret realm.

  You furrowed your brows slightly, this Qinghe Dafa is indeed impressive, in some aspects it far surpasses the Shen Shui Dao you've been cultivating.

  The Jianzhenhua Shijie Zhifa is a significant technique for Junwuming, especially since this technique is also compatible with his own foundation.

  If you want to exchange for this trick, you need to re-cultivate, disperse the original thick law power, and re-experience the four heavy refining of Qi to cast the foundation of Qinghe Dao.

  At this time, the Xian Lian Ben's divine water technique re-cast the foundation of the Dao, but it can't be helped that there is some regret. At least this divine water technique has its redeeming qualities, and its mysterious aspects are not ordinary, making it difficult for Jun Wu to abandon it!

  The black-clad youth saw that the master had no intention of thinking, and the old man in black also did not urge him. After half a cup of tea, he only saw the black-clad youth lightly spit out a mouthful of turbid air on top of the water pillar, slightly sighing, shaking his head towards the old man in black and saying: "This method is good, but I do not want to rebuild it, please forgive me, elder."

  The black-robed old man furrowed his brow, repeatedly sizing up Jun Wuming. After a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and took out a crystal-colored jade bottle.

  "This jade bottle contains a Great Earth Original Pill."

  "This is my life's greatest treasure. Originally, I had two of them. At the beginning, when they were snatched away from me, I almost lost my life. Now, I have already taken one."

  Actually, the old man in black had not told the truth. The Earth Yuan Dan was born in Huangzhou in the north at that time, and he coincidentally participated in the scramble for it. He was lucky enough to obtain three of them. At the time of obtaining them, he was secretly calculated by others, seriously injured and dying on the spot, and ate one of them. There were still two left.

  "What's going on?" A surprised and uncertain voice echoed from the clouds, Jun Wuming looked over to see that it was the female powerhouse who had spoken.

  This earth origin Dan Jun has no name but is known, you have seen it in an ancient book before. The color of this Dan is golden yellow. When the Dan was formed, there was a blocking gas in the middle of the earth that hindered the formation of the Dan. After overcoming this disaster, the earth Dan was formed, and if not, it would be the earth evil demon Dan.

  Dì Jiǎo Mó Dān is also a treasure of the demonic path.

  Can become a high-ranking treasure, refined into the Great Earth Demon Pearl, absorbing the turbid air from the ground and the calamity of the gas, with boundless magic.

  Can become a demon pill, absorbing the essence of turbid gas and earth evil spirit from the ground, nurturing the earth evil fetus, the demon fetus bursts out of the pill, with great power and wisdom, born to control the earth's energy, and has a natural opposition to the pre-heavenly golden list's pre-heavenly great earth original body.

  Dan Cheng Da Di Yuan Dan, gives birth to the wonders of creation and transformation of all spirits. Even with severe injuries, as long as there is still a breath left, it can be fully restored, making it a great treasure for saving lives.

  You have no name, but your expression changed greatly, a hint of eagerness flashed in your eyes. Cultivators often encounter calamities, if you have this elixir with you, it's like having an extra life.

  The value of this Dan has already surpassed that of the Youming Pearl. Even the three powerful beings in the clouds might be moved by it.

  Just thinking about it, Jun Wuming shook his head. The black-clothed old man and the three strong men in the clouds all seemed to be somewhat unexpected.

  The old man in black furrowed his brow even more, feeling a great headache coming on. He had originally thought that once this treasure was revealed, the young man in black would eagerly agree to exchange it, but now the result was greatly beyond his expectations, and he felt extremely troublesome.

  If it weren't for the three powerful beings in the clouds, if it weren't for this kid and his master's eyes not meeting with some connection, the black-robed old man would have probably directly seized and destroyed this kid, instead of hesitating like this.

  Transactions are naturally equal and on the same level of existence, what need is there to transact with ants?

  At this time, Jun had no name and was deeply regretful in his heart. He secretly thought to himself: This old man in black is probably often closed off for cultivation and has cultivated a mental illness. However, it's truly astonishing that with such talent and wisdom, he could actually achieve the state of being half a step away from becoming a yin spirit, which would indeed be intimidating to others.

  You, Wú Míng, are not uninterested in the Earthly Yuan Dan at this time, but rather there are three esteemed elders of your clan present, so how could you dare to make a transaction? If it were a private transaction, would you, Wú Míng, not also agree?

  But if you were to trade now, you wouldn't have even a twelve percent guarantee. As soon as the black-robed old man leaves, I'm afraid the three powerful individuals in front of us will have a good talk with him about the ownership of this Earth Core Dan.

  It's not the black-robed elder's fault, after all. As a senior member of the Lianyun Clan, he has cultivated for over 180 years and is no ordinary person. However, with his achievement in the Yin Spirit imminent, Jun Wuming repeatedly declined and shook his head, which made him anxious and led to his mistake.
