Chapter 444: Chapter 442: The Ancestor of the White Crane
“This Baigu Old Ancestor himself possesses the cultivation of the Life and Death Realm. The white crane he raises from a young age shares a mutual understanding with him, complementing each other in battle. Although it is only at the early stage, even a master at the perfection of the Life and Death Realm may not be their match,” Linglong transmitted.
Zhong Lin nodded; he was well aware of the power of martial artists in the Life and Death Realm.
The Life and Death Realm is the next realm after the Yin Yang Realm. After combining Yin Evil and Yang Evil into Gang, one must comprehend the mystery of life and death to break through. Those in this realm possess an immense life force, capable of regenerating severed limbs and surviving even heart excavation, achieving a true undying body.
Of course, this undying body has limitations; exceeding a certain capacity can still lead to being killed.
However, regardless of how it is, after reaching the Life and Death Realm, one need not worry about physical damage. Before this, martial artists needed to carefully protect their bodies, especially before the Xuandan Realm. If the body were damaged, one could not achieve perfection in refining “essence,” making it impossible to unify essence, qi, and spirit, and naturally, one could not break through, remaining stuck in the same realm for life.
Zhong Lin did not continue bidding. This mystical artifact wasn’t very important to him, so he naturally didn’t want to offend a master from the Beast Domain.
Soon, the mystical steel needle fell into the hands of Baigu Old Ancestor.
“The next treasure is a Ninth Grade elixir, a Vajra Treasure Pill from the Buddha Domain, crafted with a Shariputra from a Nirvana Realm-level Buddhist master, alongside ninety-nine types of rare spiritual medicine. Consuming it strengthens the body.”
Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up but then shook his head.
The greatest use of elixirs to him was to decipher the elixir recipe and then refine it himself through the System Panel. However, this Vajra Treasure Pill has Shariputra as the main ingredient. The so-called Shariputra is essentially the Xuandan of a Buddhist cultivator, similar to a martial artist’s Xuandan but somewhat different. To Zhong Lin, it’s rather useless; deciphering it has little value, primarily due to the rarity of Shariputra. One would have to hunt Buddhist Domain martial artists, which is no different than being a demon cultivator, easily causing public outrage.
This Vajra Treasure Pill was also refined by a pill master from the Buddha Domain and then circulated, otherwise it couldn’t be auctioned off so openly here.
In the end, this Ninth Grade elixir was bought by a Life and Death Realm martial artist in a corner. Judging by the physique, it should be a martial artist from the Battle Domain. After purchasing it, this martial artist hurriedly left, seemingly to devour and refine it.
However, Zhong Lin also noticed that after the Battle Domain martial artist left, a few people stealthily followed out.
At this time, Linglong appropriately transmitted, “Buxian Land is not a virtuous place. Our Tianqi Pavilion can only ensure fair trading here, but once outside, each must rely on their fate for life or death.”
Zhong Lin could only sigh slightly in his heart. He could see that among those who followed out, two of them were at the late stage of the Life and Death Realm. If these people joined forces, the person earlier would be in grave danger.
The auction continued with several top-grade mystical artifacts and even two treasures, but Zhong Lin did not make any purchases, mainly because the prices were too high, and the limit Linglong gave was not enough.
Soon, the spiritual medicine Zhong Lin needed appeared on the platform.
“The next treasure is Silver Dew Grass. I won’t elaborate on its uses. The starting bid is ten thousand True Essence Pills, with each bid increment no less than one hundred True Essence Pills.”
Upon hearing Silver Dew Grass, Zhong Lin immediately sat upright. This spiritual medicine is one of the core materials for refining Earth Essence Pills. It typically grows in places where water and fire blend but absorbs the power of the Nine Heavens Stars to grow. Once matured, tiny silver specks resembling dewdrops appear on its leaves, containing rich star power. The growth environment is extremely harsh.
“Eleven thousand True Essence Pills.”
Zhong Lin called out the bid, determined to obtain this item.
“Fifteen thousand, this Silver Dew Grass is good, just right for feeding my treasure.”
Baigu Old Ancestor’s leisurely voice was heard again from upstairs.
“Twenty thousand.”
Zhong Lin bid again.
“Thirty thousand.”
“Forty thousand.”
As Zhong Lin’s voice fell, the entire auction house was suddenly abuzz with discussion.
“Forty thousand True Essence Pills? Directly added ten thousand? This guy dares to challenge Baigu Old Ancestor? Just who is he? Or is he a spoiled child from a major sect? Doesn’t he know to keep a low profile in Buxian Land?”
“Adding ten thousand straightaway, that’s outrageous.”
“Silver Dew Grass, although precious, is far less valuable than forty thousand True Essence Pills. Who is this person? Could he truly be some martial arts heir?”
“Haha, no matter who he is, being so arrogant in Buxian Land, Baigu Old Ancestor is sure to give him an unforgettable lesson. Baigu Old Ancestor is notorious for being ruthless, and his so-called divine crane often feeds on martial artists. It’s going to be quite a show.”
Zhong Lin’s bold increase of the bid by ten thousand True Essence Pills truly shocked many. One must know, this equates to millions of spirit stones, unaffordable even for a typical Life and Death Realm martial artist.
“Forty thousand! Good, very good!”
Baigu Old Ancestor’s voice from the VIP room upstairs became instantly cold, full of chilling menace that conveyed a fierce killing intent. Some sensitive experts could even feel the violent surge of primordial qi in the auction site.
“Kid, I’ve remembered you.”
With a severe warning, Baigu Old Ancestor’s fury was palpable to everyone, likely intending to kill Zhong Lin as soon as he stepped outside.
Yet Zhong Lin remained unperturbed, turning to Linglong and saying, “I wonder if the previous elixirs are sufficient? If not, I’ll add more.”
“Alright, no problem.”
Linglong’s face lit up with a foxy grin as she waved her hand. Immediately, a Xuandan Realm martial artist from the cloud platform respectfully delivered the Silver Dew Grass.
Zhong Lin took it in his hand, swept it with divine thought, felt the vigorous primordial qi and brilliant star power contained within, nodded, and stored it in his storage bracelet.
With the Silver Dew Grass, he could start refining elixirs. One batch could yield nine Earth Essence Pills, sufficient for a long period of cultivation.
The higher-grade the elixir, the longer the interval must be between doses. Firstly, to fully harness the medicinal power, and secondly, to digest the toxins, otherwise, it could destabilize the foundation, greatly hindering breakthroughs in realms.
Having obtained the Silver Dew Grass, Zhong Lin had no further interest in staying at the auction site and stood up to leave.
“Friend Zhong, are you interested in the fragments of weapons?” Linglong suddenly asked.
“Fragments?”
“Yes, some mystical artifacts, and even treasure fragments. These weapons were destroyed in battle, and the remaining fragments themselves are extremely valuable materials. Some retain residual power, which of course means they can’t be repaired. But they can be integrated into one’s lifebound weapon to accelerate its growth. Friend Zhong, are you interested? Of course, I’d like to exchange some elixirs with you as well,” Linglong explained.
Zhong Lin, intrigued by her words, curiously asked, “How are these fragments priced?”
“The price can certainly be negotiated. How about you take a look first?”
