"Purchase a batch of High-grade Dao Artifacts?" Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable was startled. "High-grade Dao Artifacts are extremely difficult to refine. Even in the Cultivation Great World, the overall trading volume in the market is not very large. The value of each piece is extremely high, even more expensive than refining one yourself. However, if you are intetested, my Nine Tripod Pavilion does have a few High-grade Dao Artifacts to sell to you."
"Is that so? Bring them out for me to see," Fang Han said casually.
"Let's go!"
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable did not say anything more and directly brought Fang Han into the twisted space in the center of a large city.
"Master has returned!" As soon as Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable entered that twisted space, a few voices resonated. They were actually three experts of the Undying Body. Among them were two women and one man. The women were beautiful and elegant, while the man was handsome and graceful. They all turned their gazes toward Fang Han.
"This is the grand guest I invited over, the number one rising star of the Xuanhuang Great World, Fang Han. Today, he is going to do a major business deal with my Nine Tripod Pavilion. Fang Han, what do you think of these three disciples of mine?" Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable introduced. "These three disciples are my trusted aides. Therefore, the business of the Nine Tripod Pavilion is basically managed by them. For the list you've given, I have to go out and search for the items to collect. You can wait here and see if there is anything worth buying in our Nine Tripod Pavilion. Of course, regarding the Great Treasure Refining Technique, I wonder what you intend to exchange for it?"
"You three, open the treasure vault of my Nine Tripod Pavilion and let Fang Han browse around. Whatever he wants, he can pick as he pleases. I will be back in three hours."
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable moved his body and flickered out of sight, leaving in a hurry. It seemed he went to another place to search for the treasures on the list Fang Han had provided. He was also anxious to complete this business deal. He could earn quite a lot from it.
"This is fine too. I am unfamiliar with the people and places in the Cultivation Great World. If I rashly initiate trades, it will certainly attract countless prying eyes. It's better to have Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, a local tyrant, make the introductions."
Fang Han thought to himself.
"Daoist Friend Fang Han, Master has already told us everything just now. First, take a look at the few High-grade Dao Artifacts in our Nine Tripod Pavilion."
The three men and women who had cultivated to the Undying Body were extremely polite to Fang Han. As they spoke, they led the way to a massive treasure vault built out of stone. The three of them all took out keys, compared them with each other, and then inserted them into the stone door of the treasure vault. With a crack, the door of the treasure vault opened wide. Inside, crystal light flickered, and there were three treasures flying everywhere, seemingly trying to break free from their restraints and fly out.
These three items were all High-grade Dao Artifacts.
One was a long saber flashing with crystal light. On the body of the saber, there were black patterns, and bursts of fierce and malicious aura emanated from it. Clearly, it was a Demonic Dao magical treasure. The remaining ones were a sarira bead and a lotus-shaped praying mat.
"Daoist Friend Fang Han, these three High-grade Dao Artifacts are the inventory of our Nine Tripod Pavilion: the Ancient Malicious Saber, the Nine Streams Bead, and the Seventh-Grade Lotus Platform. They are respectively magical treasures of the Demonic Dao, the Immortal Dao, and the Buddhist Sect. However, they are extremely difficult to subdue. If you want to buy them, you have to subdue their artifact spirits to control them properly. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do either."
The three disciples of Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable said.
"Good treasures are good treasures, but they are all inferior goods among High-grade Dao Artifacts, far inferior to ancient treasures like the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, the Imperishable Lightning Talisman, and the Iron Blood Battle Flag. But they are enough. I'll give them to the few female disciples of the Jialan Association to use. Then they can train and set up grand arrays." Although Fang Han was not satisfied with the quality of these three High-grade Dao Artifacts, which could not compare to the thoroughly tempered ancient treasures left behind by ancient cultivators, they were sufficient to be used by ordinary magnates.
"How many medicinal pills are needed in total for these three treasures?"
"At the annual Cultivation Auction Convention, the auction price for each High-grade Dao Artifact is around ten billion to fifty billion Pure Yang pills. So, for the three High-grade Dao Artifacts, if Daoist Friend wants all of them, just give one hundred billion medicinal pills," the three disciples discussed for a moment and said.
"That's too expensive." Fang Han's eyes flashed. "These three High-grade Dao Artifacts are not ancient magical treasures, and they are not old enough. It is obvious that they were refined in the past few thousand years. Their artifact spirits haven't accumulated enough, so at most they are between ten billion and twenty billion each. How about this: three magical treasures for thirty billion, and I will take them all at once. If it's a hundred billion pills, then forget it."
Although Fang Han had an abundance of medicinal pills on him now, he would absolutely not spend them on unjustified expenses. One must know that ten billion medicinal pills could trigger the Wheel of Reincarnation once, which could protect his life at crucial moments.
"Daoist Friend, thirty billion is a bit too little. How about fifty billion, a set price." The three men and women exchanged glances again, seemingly communicating with their divine senses.
"It is not a small amount. I still have a massive business deal to do with Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable. At that time, it will be up to trillions of medicinal pills. If you won't even make this small concession, then future business will be hard to negotiate. I should take my leave first and check other places."
As he spoke, Fang Han's body moved, about to disappear.
"Wait!" The male disciple with the Undying Body cultivation immediately stopped Fang Han. "Thirty billion it is. Daoist Friend, there is no need to change your face so quickly. Business is discussed slowly. Junior Sister Rong, go brew a cup of Five-Color Cloud Mist Immortal Tea for Daoist Friend Fang Han."
"There is no need. Since the price has been agreed upon, that is very good. I will first collect these three treasures." Fang Han waved his hand and grabbed with his five fingers. Immediately, powerful Creation Qi surged out madly, transforming into countless talismans that were directly infused into these three High-grade Dao Artifacts. Instantly, these three High-grade Dao Artifacts emitted a vibrating aura and flew everywhere. The artifact spirits on them flew out, greedily absorbing the Creation Qi.
"Buddhist light illuminates, wishing divine power, universal salvation for all sentient beings, total conversion." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Han's body moved, and the Great Pudu Zen Light flew out, enveloping the three High-grade Dao Artifacts. The artifact spirits inside immediately let out piercing shrieks. Then, they gradually shifted to a peaceful state and flew to Fang Han's side, entering his body.
"Xu Yue'er, Ye Yu, Lan Beibei, the three of you have all cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, but there is still difficulty in advancing to the Undying Body. So receive these three High-grade Dao Artifacts, quickly refine them, and merge them with your own wills. Use the Great Treasure Refining Technique to control them."
The important figures within the Eight部 Futu had all cultivated the Great Treasure Refining Technique and were very skilled at refining magical treasures. Now, inside this treasure pagoda, it had儼然 become a small world of its own. The Five Elements source power inside had also begun to evolve into the nascent forms of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers.
This was the effect of the Creation Qi, but it was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from being a true world.
Inside, there were fully 1.8 billion Heavenly Demons. Such a massive number was managed in perfect order by numerous experts, and they were drilling their grand arrays at all times.
At this moment, within the Eight部 Futu, the grand arrays practiced by the many Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Demon Kings were of all varieties, but they were all killing arrays recorded in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual, such as the Black Dragon Demon Strangling Grand Array and the Golden Dragon Sun Swallowing Array.
The original formidable aspect of the Eight部 Futu was exactly the countless living beings parasitizing inside it, forming grand arrays to launch bombardments. With a single command from Daoist Mu, Daoist Dragon, and the others, the 1.8 billion Heavenly Demons formed eighteen ancient Heavenly Dragons, tumbling and rolling. Their powers truly fused together as they let out long, roaring cries, each possessing savage strength, moving back and forth through the void.
"Fang Han, buy more magical treasures. Right now, those Great Heavenly Demon King Golden Core experts are all lacking magical treasures. It would be best if they each had one Dao Artifact. Then, the grand arrays we set up will be exceptionally formidable. Also, this Eight部 Futu can no longer accommodate too many Heavenly Demons. It must be refined into a High-grade Dao Artifact before its space can be expanded again!"
The thoughts of Daoist Mu and the Holy King of the Turning Wheel were transmitted into Fang Han's mind.
"Alright. You all train well." Fang Han retracted his thoughts and waved his palm. Three crystal formations, resembling small mountain ranges, appeared and then gradually expanded, finally descending into this treasure vault. They were several miles in circumference and a hundred zhang high. "The main body of these three crystal mountains, each one, is condensed from pure Yang source energy equivalent to the quantity of ten billion medicinal pills. Please collect them carefully."
"Not bad, exactly the quantity of thirty billion Pure Yang crystal pills." The three disciples showed no surprise at the sight. After making a slight estimation, they immediately approved it.
"I also want to purchase some Low-grade Dao Artifacts, and Mid-grade Dao Artifacts are fine too," Fang Han said.
"Oh? That is certainly welcome." The three disciples communicated secretly: "This Fang Han has formidable methods. Although we sold these three High-grade Dao Artifacts, we didn't earn much. Now that he wants to buy Low-grade Dao Artifacts, we can severely overcharge him this time."
These three disciples immediately led Fang Han toward the adjacent treasure vault. Inside each treasure vault, there was a dazzling array of Low-grade Dao Artifacts, as well as some precious materials.
Some Low-grade Dao Artifacts were even in sets, such as a set of sword arrays comprised of fifty Low-grade Dao Artifact flying swords. Its value even surpassed that of a High-grade Dao Artifact.
"This Great Evolution Hongxun Sword Array was refined by an ancient predecessor named Hongxun. It is composed of fifty Low-grade Dao Artifact flying swords. When activated, the heavens and earth are filled with flying swords. If an expert at the Myriad Life Realm has enough mana to activate it, it can strangle an Undying Body. Its value is five billion Pure Yang pills."
The three disciples introduced.
"Bought!"
Fang Han waved his hand and, without haggling over the price, directly collected the fifty flying swords and sent them into the interior of the Eight部 Futu. His gaze swept around in all directions. He walked casually, listening to the introductions of these three disciples, haphazardly bargaining with his mouth. From time to time, treasures were swept into his bag, and Pure Yang pills were handed out like flowing water, making the three disciples nod repeatedly in delight.
In truth, a single Low-grade Dao Artifact was valued between several million pills. One hundred Low-grade Dao Artifacts would only be several hundred million Pure Yang pills. Even though sets of magical treasures were the most precious, their value couldn't possibly increase tenfold.
Therefore, from the five billion medicinal pills, Nine Tripod Pavilion had earned at least three billion.
"What is that?"
Suddenly, Fang Han walked over to an unsophisticated magical treasure fragment carved with patterns, looking like a turtle shell. This magical treasure fragment didn't have the slightest trace of spiritual energy and seemed to be a kind of material. However, Fang Han's Little Destiny Technique pulsed slightly, sensing that this magical treasure fragment was not ordinary.
"This is a nameless fragment, perhaps a remnant piece of an ancient magical treasure, but it doesn't have a single bit of spiritual energy left, and its material structure has been destroyed." The three disciples said casually. "However, ancient items always have their benefits. If you want it, we can offer it cheaper and sell it to you for one hundred million medicinal pills."
"A magical treasure fragment requires one hundred million medicinal pills?" Fang Han picked up this turtle shell-like magical treasure fragment. The moment he came into contact with it, the Little Destiny Technique actually began to tremble continuously!
