"What? Daoist Friend Bai Xi can procure all the materials needed to refine the Eight部 Futu?" Fang Han's thoughts stirred, and he also looked at him with a smile.
"There are a few important items, such as the Horn of the Azure Dragon and the Blood of the Dragon Emperor, that are temporarily unavailable. However, this is not impossible. They will be transferred over in just a short while. But according to legends, after all the materials are prepared, to achieve the best results and increase the success rate for the Eight部 Futu, it is best to go to the Dragon Graveyard to refine it. The Dragon Graveyard, located in the Dragon World, is made up of the bones left behind after the deaths of numerous dragons. Who knows how many millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years they have accumulated. I wonder if Daoist Friend knows where the Dragon Graveyard is?"
Bai Xi asked casually.
"The Dragon Graveyard? This Bai Xi actually knows about the Dragon Graveyard?" Fang Han was secretly vigilant. Towards this person, he had a feeling of not daring to fully trust him.
It was recorded in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual that to refine the Eight部 Futu, it was best to cultivate it in the Dragon Graveyard. However, that was the final step to elevate it to a Peerless Dao Artifact, which was not needed right now.
"I also don't know where the Dragon Graveyard is. As for the Eight部 Futu, I occasionally obtained some magical treasures and refined it. It was not easy to refine it into a Mid-grade Dao Artifact and advance it to a High-grade Dao Artifact, just to summon the source spirit aura of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon. It's only to improve my cultivation." Fang Han smiled and said, "Whether it is the Nine Tripod Pavilion Merchant Guild or the White Emperor Merchant Guild, it is just business. I will offer a sufficient price. Could the two of you let me take a look at how many materials there are?"
"The materials are right in our own world."
With a slight movement of his hand, a passage to a world appeared on Bai Xi's palm. Deep within this world passage, Fang Han saw a chaotic landform several hundred miles in circumference. Placed on this land were the massive corpses of various dragons. There were Golden Dragons, Silver Dragons, Yellow Dragons, Fire Dragons, Ice Dragons, Seven-Colored Dragons, Light Dragons… Winged Dragons, Ghost Dragons, Demonic Dragons… exactly eighty-one types of dragon corpses. There was also a great amount of dragon blood, crystal stones, various metals, spiritual medicines, and spiritual herbs related to dragons: Dragon Transforming Grass, Dragon Lingzhi, Dragon Ginseng….
And Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable also opened the passage to his own world. Inside appeared the numerous materials that Fang Han had provided on the paper. Except for some Immortal World treasures needed to refine the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, almost everything else was there. There were even some powerful Heavenly Dragon souls sealed within blocks of crystal stone, and no one knew where Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable had obtained them.
Worthy of being a magnate merchant guild in the Cultivation Great World. Having done business for over ten thousand years, they had accumulated quite a few good things.
"You can actually gather all these materials. If I had to slowly collect and purchase these materials myself, who knows how long it would take?" Fang Han was overjoyed in his heart. Although these materials lacked a few powerful treasures, he did not mind. The Blood of the Dragon Emperor could be replaced by the Dragon Emperor Pill, and the Horn of the Azure Dragon might not be impossible to obtain in the Cultivation Great World.
"It is still missing a few materials. Coincidentally, the Cultivation Merchant Guild Alliance is holding an auction convention at the center of the Cultivation Great World, on Fenbao Rock. All sorts of good treasures will be auctioned there, and the Horn of the Azure Dragon will certainly be up for auction too. Let's go," Bai Xi said.
"Hold on," Fang Han hurriedly said. "Both of you, please sell these materials to me first. I will go auction the remaining materials myself."
"No rush, no rush, little Daoist Friend Fang Han. I have discussed this with Daoist Friend Bai Xi. All these materials can be given to Daoist Friend as a gift. The condition is that you let us help Daoist Friend refine the Eight部 Futu together. A treasure like the Eight部 Futu cannot be refined overnight. Especially since Daoist Friend has just reached the Creation Realm, refining a High-grade Dao Artifact is still somewhat strenuous. If you can get our help, it will definitely yield twice the result with half the effort."
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable smiled.
"This…" Fang Han had some hesitation.
"Daoist Friend need not hesitate. In truth, we also want to borrow the power of the Eight部 Futu's advancement to comprehend the source spirit aura of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon. Absorbing some of it will be of great help in elevating our own realms," Bai Xi said solemnly. "Moreover, being able to participate in the refinement of the Eight部 Futu will greatly enhance our artifact refining abilities."
"That's right. According to legends, the Primeval Ancestor Dragon is a supreme existence surpassing Immortals. Just a little bit of its aura can enlighten an Immortal. It is indeed of great benefit to our cultivation. Furthermore, Bai Xi is a close friend of mine. He absolutely harbors no malicious intent. This is a win-win situation, so why not do it? Moreover, we still have a major undertaking to carry out. We are going to search for the reincarnated source spirit of the Great Seal of the Multitude and the reincarnated source spirit of the Book of the Earth Emperor. At that time, we will join hands to open the Yellow Spring Treasury and obtain the treasures within. This kind of cooperation is true business."
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable spoke unhurriedly.
"Alright, I appreciate the good intentions of the two of you. Refining the Eight部 Futu into a High-grade Dao Artifact is indeed difficult for me to accomplish entirely on my own. With the help of the two of you, it will definitely be a great success. Otherwise, falling short at the final stage would mean all the materials would be wasted, and I cannot afford that loss."
Fang Han thought for a moment and nodded. Deep in his heart, however, he became even more vigilant.
Right now, against an expert at the World King Realm, he could contend. But this person Bai Xi was mysterious and unpredictable. Together with Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, there was danger.
However, the refinement of the Eight部 Futu was indeed extremely difficult. Even with sufficient materials, it was incredibly hard to refine it alone. The success rate was also low. It would be completely normal to go into seclusion and refine it for thirty to fifty thousand years. Furthermore, if it failed, the Eight部 Futu might explode, and all the materials would be destroyed in an instant.
With the help of the two of them, the success rate would be over ninety percent.
"Since that is the case, the two of you can take me to the auction convention at Fenbao Rock to auction off the remaining materials first," Fang Han waved his hand and said.
"Alright, let's hit the road together." Bai Xi's tall body took a step forward and entered thousands of parallel spaces. The space around his body automatically began to part like flowing water. Even some of the spatial power condensed into humanoid figures, prostrating on the ground, bowing to him all along the way. The space beneath his feet condensed into lotus flowers, blooming one after another. His manipulation of space was almost inconceivable.
Seeing such miraculous spatial manipulation techniques, Fang Han's heart was slightly shocked. Even the Kunpeng, born with spatial manipulation attributes, could not reach this level.
Wondrous flowers blooming in the void, space birthing sentience, surging in worship.
At this moment, it seemed that he was the ruler of all space, the origin of the birth of all spatial power.
"Brother Bai Xi's Great World Technique is becoming more and more powerful. This level of spatial manipulation power is something I can only look up to," commended Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable.
"Great World Technique? So this Dao technique is the Great World Technique?" Fang Han's heart moved. If the Great World Technique and the Great Dragon Form Technique were combined, they could transform into an Immortal Technique! With limitless power, Linglong Immortal Venerable had executed it before.
He had also heard from Fang Qingxue and the Human Emperor Pen that in the Immortal World, there were many marvelous Immortal World techniques. Basically, they were generated by combining the Three Thousand Great Daos together. Two or three, or even several Three Thousand Great Daos, linked together through exquisite cultivation methods, could form various Immortal Techniques of infinite power. Immense and boundless, capable of refining all things.
For example, it was said that the Great Five Elements Technique and the Great Yin Yang Technique could be combined. They could also transform into a Dao technique that derived heaven and earth. However, although Fang Han knew these two Great Daos now, he lacked an ingenious Immortal Technique to link them together.
According to legends, the Grandmist Daoist learned two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos and then linked them all together, enough to bombard and kill countless Immortals and pierce through the Immortal World and the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds simultaneously.
However, he still could not contend against the Gate of Eternal Life and the Great Destiny Technique. Nor could he resist the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
Traveling all the way, passing through countless cities and folded spaces, Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable did not head straight for Fenbao Rock. Instead, they avoided some spaces with powerful auras along the way, advancing in a zigzag manner. One must know that in the Cultivation Great World, many cities established by powerful merchant guilds existed within folded spaces where traveling through was strictly forbidden. Even experts at the World King Realm had to temporarily avoid their sharp edges.
After traveling for about half an hour, the three of them walked out from the space and saw a massive fiery red rock in the distance, resembling a giant dragon, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, towering over the horizon. On that fiery red rock, countless cultivators entered it in an orderly manner.
"This Fenbao Rock? It's a magical treasure? How formidable! It's not inferior to the Chaotic Origin Womb." Looking at the rocky mountain range that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles on the horizon, Fang Han immediately realized that this rocky mountain range was a treasure.
"That's right. This Fenbao Rock is a Peerless Dao Artifact, and an ancient Peerless Dao Artifact at that. It has existed for over a million years, and its power even surpasses that of ordinary Immortal Artifacts. However, for this kind of Peerless Dao Artifact to advance to an Immortal Artifact, who knows how many Immortal Dao laws it would need. Nevertheless, the majesty of this Fenbao Rock is irresistible. It is currently the place used by the Immortal Dao Alliance to auction treasures. Inside, there are eighty-one great auction halls, divided according to the grade of the auctioned treasures."
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable introduced to Fang Han.
"This is Fenbao Rock. However, the auctions outside are all just ordinary sales. We all possess the identity of Elders in the Merchant Guild Alliance, so let's directly enter the high-end auction halls inside Fenbao Rock. Treasures like the Horn of the Azure Dragon will only be found in the high-end auction halls," Bai Xi said directly.
The three of them flew toward Fenbao Rock.
Just as the three of them flew above Fenbao Rock, sudden long howls rang out as figures emerged from the stones of Fenbao Rock. It turned out that on the rocks of Fenbao Rock, there were many densely packed stone doors. From afar, it looked like a honeycomb.
Amidst the long howls, more than ten figures of varying sizes appeared. Surprisingly, they were all experts of the Undying Body! Figures at the second level of the Longevity Secret Realm.
"Ah, it's Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Mr. Bai Xi. What brings you here? Are you also participating in this auction convention?" Upon seeing it was Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi, these Undying Body experts could not help but show respectful expressions on their faces.
"It is us. We want to enter the high-end auction venues. Step forward and lead the way!" Bai Xi said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The ten or so people immediately led the way, and Fang Han followed them into Fenbao Rock.
