Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 424 - 204: The Prestige of Flaming Blade Duan River, Powerful Spirit Talisman_2

"Senior Brother Chang Li, we’ve long heard of your great name! However, we’ve heard that you have an Initial Tier Demon King as an Exotic Beast, possess an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, and have the Celestial Demon Technique from a Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone. Why would you still need to purchase Demon Pearls? The demons that Demon Pearls can transform into, at most, reach the Ninth-Layer Perfection Realm. They’re not very useful in the Earth Immortal Realm!"

This Qu Qingfeng clearly had a favorable impression of Chang Li and used this opportunity to strike up a conversation and get acquainted.

Upon hearing this, Chang Li slightly cupped his hands and said, "This must be Senior Sister Qingfeng. I’ve heard Elder Duan mention you, praising your great talent. It’s truly an honor to meet you here. If I can join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect in the future, I hope Senior Sister will look out for me! As for why I need to purchase Demon Pearls... Actually, Elder Duan plans to buy a few hundred Demon Pearls and ask the Artifact Refining Master from the Fire Spirit Sect to refine dozens of Tier Nine Magical Artifacts for me. This way, my chances of winning the disciple recruitment ceremony might increase slightly!"

"I see! There are indeed several immortal sects putting up a large number of Demon Pearls for auction, estimated to be around seven or eight hundred. With Elder Duan’s renown, no one should compete too fiercely for these Demon Pearls. Senior Brother Chang, you’ll surely get what you desire!" Qu Qingfeng said with a smile.

While Lin Xuankong was still hesitant, Spiritual Crane Fairy and the others finished their chat and headed inside the auction hall.

After entering the auction hall, as Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Spiritual Crane Fairy and her party naturally had the best private box, located in the first row.

Thanks to the young lady, Lii Xiaolan, Lin Xuankong found himself seated in a first-row private box for the first time at an auction attended by thousands of powerful cultivators.

What slightly annoyed him was that Flaming Blade Duan River and that Chang Li, after some feigned politeness, also took seats in the same private box!

After everyone was seated, the auction had yet to officially begin, but the entire venue was abuzz with activity.

The excitement was, of course, because this auction had drawn two Third-Grade Earth Immortals. Even for auctions held by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, attendees were usually limited to Immortal Sect disciples, various dynasty princes, and emperors; Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses attended such auctions rather infrequently. Earth Immortals of Third Grade or higher usually required extremely rare Thousand-Year Spirit Grass and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine. Such treasures were exceedingly rare even at Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect auctions and were typically traded in small, internal gatherings among Earth Immortals rather than in large, public auctions. Moreover, Mid-to-High-grade Earth Immortals usually spent their time cultivating, in seclusion, or enjoying their Immortal Cave Mansions, and rarely participated in auctions with juniors and minor figures.

Therefore, the presence of two Third-Grade Earth Immortals at this auction in Spiritual Crane Immortal City immediately drew the attention of numerous Tier Nine cultivators, as well as Initial Tier and First-Grade Earth Immortals. All those Tier Nine cultivators and Initial and First-Grade Earth Immortals who could leverage any connection rushed to the private box of Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er to greet her, and especially Vice Sect Leader Duan River, who was already late-stage Third-Grade.

Among them, over a dozen Initial Tier Earth Immortals, upon learning that Duan River was there to buy Demon Pearls for Chang Li, generously gifted Chang Li dozens of Demon Pearls as a token of goodwill. While Demon Pearls are still considered precious by cultivators of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Layers, they are trivially easy for Initial Tier Earth Immortals to acquire. After all, all Initial Tier Earth Immortals have obtained Celestial Demon Bones. Even those who didn’t acquire any before becoming Immortals could easily get them afterward. Furthermore, these Initial Tier Earth Immortals typically possess Tier Two or Tier Three Celestial Demon Bones. In their Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realms, raising hundreds of thousands or even millions of Low-Tier Demons for harvesting was not difficult, making dozens or hundreds of Demon Pearls easily obtainable.

Consequently, before the auction even started, Chang Li had already received a whopping two hundred Demon Pearls!

This thought made Lin Xuankong even more eager to acquire enough Demon Pearls and the three types of Spirit Grass at this auction.

Just then, Qu Qingfeng, sitting beside Chang Li, suddenly said sweetly, "Senior Brother Chang, look! The auction is about to begin!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong looked towards the central stage. He saw an Initial Tier Female Earth Immortal from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, dressed in splendid attire, walk onto it. As she swept her gaze over the hall, the previously chaotic venue fell silent instantly.

The Female Earth Immortal smiled and spoke, "Everyone, the first auction item comes from a Talisman Master of the Seven Profound Immortal Sect. These are Immortal Tier, late-stage First-Grade Spirit Talismans. There are a total of thirty-six of them.

Each of these Spirit Talismans is inscribed with the Immortal Technique of a First-Grade Earth Immortal. When activated with Immortal Yuan, the resulting power is equivalent to a full-powered strike from a late-stage First-Grade Earth Immortal. If a First-Grade Earth Immortal is hit, they must exert their full effort to avoid injury. If an Initial Tier Earth Immortal is hit, they would suffer serious harm!

The best part is that these Immortal Tier, late-stage First-Grade Spirit Talismans can be activated with True Qi, meaning that cultivators at the Seventh, Eighth, and even Ninth Layers of the Transcendence Realm can all use them!

Owning such Spirit Talismans is like having a late-stage First-Grade Earth Immortal by your side at all times! Bringing such Spirit Talismans to our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony would easily allow the user to defeat their opponents!"

Having spoken, she confidently looked at each private box in the large hall with a smile on her face.

Indeed, just as she expected, once she explained the uses of these Spirit Talismans, the entire hall’s atmosphere was immediately stirred up. Immortal Tier, late-stage First-Grade Spirit Talismans, and a full thirty-six of them! Such treasures were incredibly desirable for cultivators who had not yet reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
