Chapter 851 -849: Hong Xiaoxing’s Reply

Ten Thousand Miles Cloud Smoke Seal.

Five Elements Yin Yang Qiankun Tripod.

Immortal Mansion Spirit Root.

All three were treasures capable of stabilizing the space of heaven and earth.

Looking at their descriptions, Xu Yang’s spirits lifted.

Returning to that ancient continent was imperative.

With his current strength, as long as he left a brand in the Black and White Starry Sky, he wouldn’t get lost traversing the void.

Back then, he had no choice but to leave, but now that he had the confidence, he had to go back and make some preparations.

Otherwise, for thousands or tens of thousands of years, the people of the Spirit Realm would find it hard to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Even if they reached the ancient continent, there was a high probability they would be trapped there to death.

“I wonder how Master and the others are doing? When I go back, I wonder if I can find any traces.” Xu Yang let out a long sigh.

No one could have foreseen the attack by the immortal beast.

Even with his current strength, he couldn’t determine just how strong that immortal beast was.

It might even be an existence surpassing a Golden Immortal.

But even now, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

After a long while, Xu Yang dispelled his distracting thoughts and looked at the ancient scroll.

The price difference between the Ten Thousand Miles Cloud Smoke Seal and the Five Elements Yin Yang Qiankun Tripod wasn’t large. One was three hundred million Immortal Crystals, and the other was four hundred million. Both could stabilize the chaos of a small-scale secret realm.

The Immortal Mansion Spirit Root was worth 1.4 billion Immortal Crystals, making it the most astonishing of them all.

Even a small-scale secret realm on the verge of collapse could be stabilized for a period of time with this.

This kind of Spirit Root was a natural treasure nurtured by heaven and earth.

Like the Immortal Vine Spirit Root, they were generally born in special places within spatial rifts and were quite rare.

“That ancient continent has endured the slaughter of countless powerhouses and is involved in the struggles between ancient immortals and demonic immortals. Especially at the Beili Immortal Mountain, where experts surpassing the Golden Immortal level have fallen. If I want to completely stabilize the ancient continent so it can continue to exist for thousands or tens of thousands of years, ordinary treasures won’t do.

“These three pieces are likely far from enough.”

One had to remember that the vast and endless Calamity Ghost Wind Sea was also there.

“I need at least one top-tier treasure of this kind, supported by slightly weaker ones, to make the preparations perfect.”

With that thought, Xu Yang got up, left the room, and went to find Liou Sanqian.

Naturally, he wanted all three of these treasures.

And he still needed Heaven’s Edge Tower to help him continue searching.

However, with Heaven’s Edge Tower’s channels, they had only found three for now. It was easy to imagine that such treasures weren’t so easy to come by.

Most secret realms were controlled by aristocratic families and immortal sects. If they possessed such treasures, they usually wouldn’t sell them casually.

Moreover, ordinary people didn’t have this kind of need.

When Liou Sanqian saw Xu Yang, he immediately knew his intentions and smiled. “How is it? Are you satisfied?”

“I’ll take all three,” Xu Yang said. “But it’s still not enough.

“It would be best if I could get a top-tier treasure of this type.”

A top-tier one of this type?

Liou Sanqian secretly clicked his tongue. Just as Xu Yang had guessed, there weren’t many such treasures. They were rare on the market because those who possessed them were large aristocratic families and immortal sects who rarely sold them.

Top-tier ones were not easy to find.

He was even more curious about what Xu Yang wanted this kind of treasure for.

However, Liou Sanqian didn’t press the matter. He pondered for a moment and said, “With Heaven’s Edge Tower’s channels, we should be able to find some ordinary ones, but for top-tier ones… Oh, right.”

Liou Sanqian slapped his forehead and smiled. “There’s news from Hongtian Ancient City.

“Guess who replied?”

Xu Yang was taken aback and instinctively replied, “Hong Xiaoxing?”

“That’s right, it’s her.

“Knowing that you were the one who wanted them, Mr. Xu, Hong Xiaoxing wishes to speak with you personally.”

Xu Yang frowned slightly. What did this girl mean?

But Liou Sanqian had mentioned before that Hongtian Ancient City had quite a few such treasures.

In fact, the channel to obtain top-tier treasures of this kind would likely fall to Hongtian Ancient City.

It seemed he had to have a chat with Hong Xiaoxing.

However, he didn’t have any grudges with Hong Xiaoxing.

They had even cooperated to deal with Situ Ke in the Four Symbols Demon Evil Valley, so they weren’t exactly strangers.

“Alright, I’ll talk to her.”

“Mr. Xu, this item has already been branded. You can use it to converse directly with Hong Xiaoxing.”

Liou Sanqian took out an antique, bronze-colored large seal with a palm print indented on it.

“Just press your hand on it and pour in your Primordial Spirit energy.”

After Liou Sanqian finished speaking, he retreated from the room.

Xu Yang sat down and examined the large seal. Soon after, he raised his hand, pressed it against the palm print, and surged his Primordial Spirit energy into it.

WHOOSH!

A screen of light rose from the seal, filled with shifting, writhing chaos.

About ten breaths later.

The chaos suddenly receded, reflecting the image of a room. Judging by the layout, it looked like a girl’s bedroom.

SWISH!

A head suddenly popped out from the edge of the light screen.

Xu Yang jumped in fright, but the rippling shock on his face quickly vanished.

“Did I scare you?”

Hong Xiaoxing waved her hand, gazing at Xu Yang with a beaming smile.

Xu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn’t expected Hong Xiaoxing to be so playful.

“You startled me.”

“Miss Hong, I heard that Hongtian Ancient City has treasures capable of stabilizing the space of heaven and earth?”

Xu Yang cut straight to the chase.

“Yes, we have many, including top-tier ones.

“But what do you need this kind of treasure for? Don’t tell me you carry a Grotto Heaven with you?” Hong Xiaoxing looked at him with utmost suspicion.

It was truly bizarre for a normal person to want this kind of treasure.

Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Although this girl hadn’t guessed entirely right, he really did have a Grotto Heaven on him.

Without a change in expression, he said, “I can’t disclose that to you, Miss Hong.”

Hong Xiaoxing gave a teasing smile. “If you want to buy one, that’s no problem. The ordinary ones aren’t expensive, but you probably can’t afford the top-tier ones.”

“How expensive?” Xu Yang frowned slightly.

“Roughly equivalent to hundreds of billions of third-tier Immortal Crystals. If you really want to make a trade, third-tier Immortal Crystals won’t be enough; you’ll need precious natural treasures.” Hong Xiaoxing smiled faintly.

Most treasures of this kind wouldn’t be traded with Immortal Crystals.

Xu Yang was aware of this, but he hadn’t expected the value to equal hundreds of billions of third-tier Immortal Crystals.

It was truly terrifying.

He feared that even if he killed two more overlords of the Blood Marsh, it would still be difficult to gather enough.

“Oh, right! If you’re willing to trade your Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk, you’d only need to make up the difference with a hundred billion Immortal Crystals.”

“…”

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched.

Even if he sold himself, it wouldn’t be enough.

It was impossible for him to trade the Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk.

Such a top-grade third-tier precious medicine was incredibly rare—something that could be encountered by chance but not actively sought.

If he traded it away, who knew how many times the price he would have to pay to get something of equal value when he actually needed it.

Moreover, with this item, he basically had the most crucial resource needed to break through from a Celestial Immortal to a Golden Immortal.

Thus, he definitely wouldn’t trade it, even for this kind of treasure.

Seeing Xu Yang’s reaction, Hong Xiaoxing knew he wouldn’t trade the Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk.

She had just mentioned it casually. No one would take out such a precious medicine to exchange unless it was a matter of utmost importance.

But with Xu Yang’s identity and current status, he clearly didn’t need to.

“If you’re not willing, there is another opportunity to get it for free,” Hong Xiaoxing said, a sliver of slyness flashing through her eyes.

Free?

Xu Yang immediately went on high alert.

Pies didn’t drop from the sky, and there was no such thing as a free lunch.

When someone said “free,” it usually meant they were plotting something even bigger.

“The month after next is my coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, a treasure will be offered as a prize—the Black and White Meteor Tower. It forms its own starry void, can pacify turbulent spatial flows and heavenly astral storms, stabilize space, and is even a supreme defensive treasure.

“Its value is such that even a trillion Immortal Crystals would struggle to buy it.

“But as long as you win the prize, you can obtain this treasure without paying any price.”

Xu Yang’s breathing quickened for a moment.

A trillion in value?

Of course, this kind of treasure couldn’t simply be judged by Immortal Crystals.

A trillion Immortal Crystals wasn’t of much use to top-tier experts anyway.

To use such a treasure as a prize meant that Hong Xiaoxing’s coming-of-age ceremony was absolutely not simple, and winning it wouldn’t be easy… Xu Yang instantly calmed down and asked in a deep voice, “May I ask what will be required then? A sparring competition?”
