Especially the latter, which is a rare material needed to make magic weapons. Chen Yun had to compete fiercely with many competitors, and finally gritted his teeth and bought it at a high price.
These few attacks almost exhausted 70% to 80% of the spirit stone reserves in Chen Yun's bag.
Fortunately, the puppet materials he urgently needed did not appear afterwards, which made Chen Yun breathe a sigh of relief.
When all the items were sold, the storage bag on the jade table was empty.
The figure in the white light seemed quite satisfied with the results of the auction. After a pause, he chuckled and said:
All the auction items have been settled. If you have rare treasures that you would like to exchange, now is a good opportunity.
Please note that this is a voluntary exchange. If the authenticity of the items is difficult to determine or there are omissions, it has nothing to do with the organizer. We only provide the venue and all consequences are at your own risk.
As per convention, no matter what item is traded, we will prepare several items for exchange each time. Once the transaction is completed, we will collect 10,000 spirit stones from each successful trader as a handling fee.
After saying this, the elder's figure flashed and instantly appeared at the edge of the open space. He then sat down cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.
This scene did not cause surprise among the surrounding monks. Instead, everyone took action and several streams of light flew out.
One of the streams of light was particularly swift, surrounded by red clouds, and a figure landed behind the jade table first.
This person clasped his hands together, smiled, and said:
"Thank you for letting me get there first. Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoists."
In this transaction, several spiritual lights circled around and then returned to their original seats helplessly. "
"Chen Yun smiled slightly when he saw this. He understood the importance of acting early so as to gain the upper hand and prevent others from getting the thing they wanted first."
“Although such situations are rare, the rarer the material, the lower the likelihood of overlap with other people’s needs.”
“Therefore, most monks were able to remain calm and did not participate in the previous scramble.
The ingredients Chen Yun needed were relatively rare, but he was not worried about it.
Obviously, those monks who were eager to exchange needed things for a wide range of uses, which led to a scramble.
The cultivator in the red glow displayed several kinds of precious materials, intending to exchange them for several alchemy materials suitable for a variety of elixirs.
Soon, several people came forward and successfully exchanged for most of the materials, which made the monks in Hongxia return with satisfaction. The subsequent transactions also went quite smoothly, and each participant gained something.
At a monks' exchange meeting, a man in yellow holding blue metal wanted to exchange it for water-attributed materials that Chen Yun had never heard of, but no one was willing to trade, and in the end he had to leave in disappointment.
After that, many monks returned empty-handed.
After thirty or forty people tried, most of them returned empty-handed, and only a very few succeeded in exchanging for the items they needed.
This is not because other monks do not have the materials they want, but they may feel that the exchange items are not worth it or do not meet their needs, so they choose not to participate in the transaction.
Bartering is not necessarily more successful if the item is more valuable.
Sometimes, even if someone is interested in someone else's materials, if he does not have what the other party needs, he can only negotiate privately to exchange them for other treasures, but there are few successful people and most are rejected.
Among them, Chen Yun's exchange was successful.
Chen Yun exchanged for the materials he needed by using several rare thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and high-level demon pills.
These two resources are extremely valuable in the world of immortal cultivation. Although one or two can be purchased occasionally in the market, it is extremely difficult to obtain large quantities at once.
Therefore, after a brief hesitation, the other monk agreed to the deal.
Chen Yun also used his stored items to exchange for two types of puppet materials. Currently, he only lacked the last two rarest materials to collect everything he needed.
However, the last two materials are extremely precious, and ordinary monks usually do not trade them easily.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, how do you plan to obtain these materials? If it is an ordinary treasure, it may be difficult to impress others."
Lord Dayan asked while communicating with Chen Yun through his spiritual consciousness.
"I have already thought about it. Most of the monks here practice magic, and I happen to have something that is extremely important to them."
Chen Yun said calmly.
Hearing this, Lord Dayan seemed a little surprised:
"Could it be that item? Are you really willing to pay for it?"
Although he was a little reluctant, in order to complete the puppet refining, Chen Yun took a deep breath and said firmly:
"We have come to this point. We must get the last two materials, otherwise all our previous efforts will be wasted."
"As long as this puppet is as powerful as the senior said, all this effort will be worth it."
After saying this, he smiled slightly, looked around, and felt that the time was ripe.
When a monk returned disappointed, Chen Yun stood up calmly and walked slowly to the back of the jade table.
The monks present all turned their eyes to him, expecting him to bring out some rare items.
Chen Yun waved his hands, and two small jade boxes appeared in front of everyone.
He did not rush to open them, but first scanned them with his eyes, and then announced in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Material for refining magic treasures - two magic marrow diamonds, in exchange for the five elements jade and dazzling crystal."
"If any fellow Taoist has this item, you can exchange it now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his wrist lightly and the lid of the box opened.
Two objects several inches in size, emitting a faint black aura and crystal clear, slowly rose from it. They were the Demonic Marrow Diamonds that he had worked so hard to obtain in the Ten Thousand Meter Devil Abyss.
"Devil's Marrow Diamond! It's actually the material for refining the Devil Dragon Blade!"
A certain monk exclaimed, obviously shocked by the sudden appearance of this precious material.
As soon as Chen Yun said this, there was an uproar in the hall. Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but scream.
The figure in the white mist who was originally meditating with his eyes closed at the edge of the open space also opened his eyes in surprise and stared at the two magic marrow diamonds in front of Chen Yun.
"To be honest, if I wasn't practicing magic, I would never have taken out something like this to exchange."
"As for authenticity? As long as someone can produce what I need, I will let them examine it carefully."
Chen Yun said as usual.
After hearing Chen Yun's confident words, the monks who were originally a little agitated gradually calmed down. Everyone looked at the Demon Marrow Drill with different expressions and remained silent.
Although the Five Elements Jade and Dazzling Crystal are hard to find in the world, they are naturally inferior to the materials of the magic treasures that may only appear in rumors. This undoubtedly makes everyone tempted.
At a trade fair, people discussed the authenticity and value of the magic diamond.
The figure in the white light, as the landlord of the trade fair, made a preliminary observation of the magic marrow diamond and indicated that it was necessary to take out the glare crystal in the warehouse for further identification.
Chen Yun agreed with this and looked forward to his professional judgment.
The man in the white light then cast a spell, and a beam of fire shot to the ceiling of the hall and disappeared. Then he stood up and walked towards Chen Yun.
Seeing this, the other monks held their breath, waiting for the appraisal results from this experienced and knowledgeable host.
During the whole process, no one raised any objections or doubts. In the white mist, the mysterious figure seemed to know a lot about the magic diamond.
He deftly took a magic marrow diamond, then spit out a stream of white infant fire, trying to burn its surface.
However, as soon as the white flame came into contact with the black gas on the surface of the crystal diamond, it separated from both sides as if it had met its nemesis and could not get close to the crystal diamond.
The mysterious figure showed a hint of excitement on his face. He clasped his hands together, collected the infant fire in his mouth, and spewed out a ball of blue cold air, covering the crystal diamond.
But the cold air had no effect on the crystal diamond.
The mysterious figure's eyes flashed a few times, he raised one hand, stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the crystal diamond.
Suddenly, a dark demonic energy was injected into the crystal diamond, but the result was like a drop in the ocean, the magic marrow diamond did not react at all.
"Yes, it is indeed a magic marrow diamond. I want this thing."
At this moment, a flash of light appeared three or four feet away from the mysterious figure, and a masked monk in a gray robe and a hooded face appeared there strangely.
He bowed to the mysterious figure in the white mist, handed over a jade box, and then disappeared into the air again.
In the place where white clouds were swirling, a cultivator held a jade box in his hand and handed it directly to Chen Yun without opening it.
After Chen Yun took it, he quickly opened the lid of the box, revealing a milky yellow crystal stone emitting a light purple halo, which made people feel a little dizzy.
However, a flash of blue light appeared in Chen Yun's eyes, and the discomfort immediately dissipated. He carefully took out the crystal, carefully identified it, and confirmed that it was of extraordinary quality.
The people in Baixia who were watching were secretly shocked when they saw Chen Yun examining Xuan Guangjing so calmly.
The light from this crystal was so dazzling that he found it difficult to look directly at it after just one glance. However, Chen Yun was able to stare at it for a long time without being affected, which was truly rare.
After Chen Yun's appraisal, he showed satisfaction, put the dazzling crystal back into the jade box and kept it away, then signaled to the monk that he could take away another magic marrow diamond.
In the mysterious white atmosphere, a monk smiled slightly and said slowly:
"Since no one has yet exchanged for the remaining one, it must be that no one has the material you need."
"I wonder if you are willing to sell the remaining one to me at a high price, or exchange it with other rare materials?"
"No matter which method you choose, I will definitely make you satisfied."
After saying this, the cultivator in the white mist carefully put away the crystal diamond, and then his eyes turned, greed quietly emerged, and he stared directly at the other magic marrow diamond.
"Who said no one has the materials?"
A voice suddenly sounded, breaking the subtle atmosphere: "I have a piece of Five Elements Jade here."
"Wait a minute!"
The monk in Baixia said anxiously: "I must get this thing. No one can compete with me for it."
As soon as he said this tentative word, the monks around him could no longer hold back.
In an instant, the voices of a man and a woman rang out at the same time. The man's voice was like thunder in the clear sky, majestic and powerful.
The woman's voice was pleasant and melodious, like the chirping of an oriole.
Along with these two voices, a treasure surrounded by dark light and a dazzling silver light shot out from the seats on both sides like arrows and landed in front of Chen Yun one after another.
This scene caused the other monks to whisper.
Unlike the little-known Dazzling Crystal, the Five Elements Jade is well-known in the world of immortal cultivation.
Everyone knows that this is the top-grade material for refining jade magic weapons.
However, this jade is extremely rare. The last time it appeared in the world of immortal cultivation was about five or six hundred years ago.
At a mysterious monks' gathering, everyone witnessed a shocking scene.
The actions of a mysterious person aroused jealousy and surprise in the venue.
Obviously, there are many monks who have precious treasures hidden, but most of them choose to keep a low profile and are unwilling to show off their collections easily.
When the figure in the white mist heard the man's voice, his expression suddenly changed, and the face that was originally softly wrapped in the mist instantly became complex and unpredictable.
Facing the doubts, the person known as Ye Lao Er responded:
"Brother Kun, you are worrying too much. How dare I break the rules and monopolize the magic marrow diamond? I am just making suggestions to this fellow Taoist. The final decision is still in his hands."
"Since two fellow Taoists have already participated, I will not intervene."
As the host of the exchange meeting, he tactfully stepped back to show respect and concession.
The mysterious monk in the black light snorted coldly when he heard this, looking quite disdainful, and stood aside with his hands folded across his chest.
The female cultivator in the silver haze standing nearby seemed a little dazed, and the other cultivators around her also expressed surprise. The scene suddenly became tense and full of expectation.
In the world of cultivating immortals, Kun Wuji, the elder of Xueqimen, is famous.
When Chen Yun heard that this demon cultivator had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, his expression changed slightly. As one of the ten prominent sects of the Demonic Path, the identity of the chief elder of the Xueqi Sect was naturally extraordinary.
"So you are the great elder of the Xueqi Sect. I am so sorry for your disrespect."
The female cultivator bowed slightly, her tone respectful but firm:
"I wonder if the Great Elder also has the materials that this fellow Daoist needs? If so, I am willing to leave immediately and give the Demonic Marrow Diamond to you."
After saying this, she was silent for a moment and let out a breath.
Obviously, this female cultivator was not shaken by the other party's high level of cultivation and prominent status, and was still determined to obtain the Demonic Marrow Diamond. Upon hearing this, Kun Wuji's face darkened and his tone was grim:
“Humph! Although I don’t have the Five Elements Jade and Dazzling Crystal, I have a lot of similar things. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better go back obediently.”
The threat in the words was obvious.
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator frowned slightly, seeming to be in a dilemma:
"This... this magic marrow diamond is also what I have been seeking."
"How about this, if this fellow Taoist can really exchange other materials for the Demonic Marrow Diamond, I will not argue with him and will definitely give it to Great Elder Kun."
After saying that, she chuckled, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.
In the tense atmosphere, Kun Wuji the demon cultivator unexpectedly showed confidence in his belongings and agreed to the transaction without hesitation.
Chen Yun felt a little pleased when he saw the two monks discussing the distribution of the Demon Marrow Diamond on their own.
But with the appearance of the Five Elements Jade, he realized that the collection of the last material was about to be completed, and he felt relieved.
At this time, a female cultivator raised her hand, and a green wooden box flew out from the silver mist and landed steadily on the table. A light silver talisman was attached to it. She smiled at Chen Yun and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you can check the authenticity of the Five Elements Jade."
Kun Wuji sneered and waved his sleeves. Seven jade boxes of different colors flew out one after another and also landed on the table.
"You have seen clearly what I took out. Some of the materials are worth far more than the Five Elements Jade." (End of this chapter)
