Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1723 - 924: Cashing Out at 300,000
Previously on Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension...
"I offer one hundred thousand pieces... of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade!"
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present turned their heads to look, including Zhao Sheng, who was very curious to see who dared to speak up at this moment.
Under the gaze of everyone, a large and imposing figure slowly stood up on a Magic Platform in the southeast corner of the hall.
This person had a handsome and mesmerizing appearance, with a pair of green vertical pupils that flickered with a chilling light, and long hair as silver as snow cascading from the top of the head down to his heels, perfectly matching his skin as white as jade.
At the instant this person stood up, a grand and magnificent wave of will exploded, filling the entire hall, making it difficult for the cultivators to breathe.
In an instant, Zhao Sheng felt a chill rise in his heart, and his body involuntarily shivered.
The originally warm hall suddenly felt like the depths of winter, causing many people to tremble from the cold.
"Cold Light, do you also intend to compete with me?" Yu Zhang Great Venerable looked towards this Demon Clan Great Venerable, suddenly showing a cold expression and asked indifferently.
Cold Light Venerable came from the Ten Thousand Demon Realm and is an Ancient Cold Flood Dragon that achieved the Path, with strength comparable to Human Clan Tribulation Crossing Realm.
"Correct! I am determined to obtain the God Gun’s Skeleton!" Cold Light’s eyes erupted, staring greedily at the God Gun’s Skeleton floating in mid-air, forcibly suppressing the deepest excitement and longing from his bloodline.
Yu Zhang Great Venerable seemed to sense something, and suddenly fell silent.
After two breaths, he coldly spoke, "I offer... one hundred thousand Five Elements Law Crystals and one piece of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade."
One piece of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade is equivalent to ten thousand pieces of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade, and one piece of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade can be divided into five pieces of Pocket World Jade.
A Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable who wishes to "ascend" to the Burial Immortal Ruins needs to sacrifice at least five pieces of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade each time, which is no small price!
"One hundred thousand pieces of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade, I also offer twelve hundred thousand Five Elements Law Crystals." Cold Light Venerable said mildly.
Upon hearing this, a burst of light suddenly rose around Yu Zhang Great Venerable, and was gone in an instant.
Then, there suddenly appeared a head-sized Crystal Ball in Yu Zhang Great Venerable’s hand, with a miniaturized ocean world inside,
where the sea, sky, storm, and scattered islands were all clearly visible!
"Aside from the twelve hundred thousand Five Elements Law Crystals, I will also offer a Micro Cave Heaven with a diameter of eighty thousand miles. Taoist Zhao, do you think this price is enough?" Yu Zhang Great Venerable smiled at Zhao Sheng, his words carrying a hidden threat.
Cold Light Venerable’s long hair suddenly floated up, his voice full of chilling sarcasm, "Yu Zhang, you really are regressing as you live. What’s the point of threatening a junior with words for a half-collapsing Cave Heaven? Do you think I don’t have one?"
Just as he finished speaking, Cold Light Venerable suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a fist-sized Crystal Treasure Bead.
Within the bead, clouds surged, lightning flashed, and a lush green Micro Continent floated deep inside, surrounded by a vast, deep sea.
Zhao Sheng’s eyes widened, and he marveled internally.
Cold Light Venerable held the Grotto Heaven Treasure Pearl and looked directly at Zhao Sheng, speaking proudly, "Suspended Sun Cave Heaven, with a diameter of two hundred and thirty thousand miles. Currently in good condition, it can last at least four hundred thousand years without destruction. Additionally, I offer eighteen hundred thousand Five Elements Law Crystals."
Today he truly understood the profound resources of two Great Venerable Immortal Ruins Guests.
Giving away a Cave Heaven just like that, seemingly effortless without significant cost.
"The Great Venerable’s actions are truly remarkable! To freely give away a Cave Heaven, we juniors in the Unification Realm are far inferior."
"Infinite Life Buddha! I have my eyes opened today. Not in the last twenty or so Shouxin Hall gatherings have we seen a ’spectacle’ like this."
"Who knows what... Primordial Clan ’Great Origin’ is like. Even a mere descendant’s skeleton can make two Great Venerables tear at each other; truly unimaginable!" A white-faced old man, ignorant of the Primordial Clan, quietly asked the fellow Daoist beside him.
At this moment, a voice quietly came through, "Mr. Bai, I’m somewhat familiar with the Primordial Clan. However, the secrets involved are too vast, I’m afraid to speak."
The elder with a pale complexion felt his heart race, and he quickly sent a reply: "I possess a bottle of Life-extending Treasure Pills. A single pill can prolong life by a millennium. If you are interested, we may perhaps trade this for some intel."
"Agreed!" The other party instantly consented. "It’s a rather lengthy tale, but it concerns the Primordial Clan..."
Amidst the lively discussions of many Immortal Ruins Guests in the main hall, Yu Zhang and Cold Light, the two Great Venerables, had already commenced their battle of auras.
One was resolute in acquiring the God Gun’s Skeleton, while the other sought the very opportunity for immortality.
Consequently, neither was prepared to concede.
Witnessing the impending face-to-face confrontation between the two Great Venerables, Zhao Sheng recognized the gravity of the situation and urgently transmitted a message to them both.
"Esteemed Yu Zhang, I implore you to remain calm. I did not state that there is only a single God Gun’s Skeleton. Allow today’s piece to go to Senior Cold Light. At our subsequent gathering, I shall present another piece of the God Gun’s Skeleton."
"Hold on, Venerable Cold Light! I can procure more God Gun’s Skeletons. I sincerely hope the Great Venerable will refrain from damaging the rapport between yourself and Senior Yu Zhang."
"Is this the truth?!"
"You are not trifling with me, are you?!"
A chill permeated his core as Zhao Sheng gazed upwards into the intimidating eyes of the two Great Venerables and firmly nodded, articulating, "I am prepared to swear an oath."
In his assessment, the sale of the God Gun’s Skeleton was not a singular, definitive transaction, and there was no necessity for the two Great Venerables to thus "stake everything" for it.
Furthermore, acquiring the God Gun’s Skeleton was not an insurmountable challenge for him, and he was disinclined to force a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm into becoming an adversary.
