Chapter 1046 - 724: Primordial Dao Body
Shen Xuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped asking questions, his thoughts racing.
He wasn’t without resources.
He still had Dragon Bone Fruit, the Red Flame Sword, and other Tier Four Spiritual Objects.
True Monarch Red Flame’s Storage Pouch was yet to be opened.
There must be plenty of good things inside.
Trade chips were still available.
However, aside from Nascent Soul Pill and Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object, other Tier Four Treasures were not urgently needed for him.
Sometimes, treasures that are too precious become the root of calamity.
Now, the Fire Technique Golden Core has been upgraded to Primordial quality, and his vision has risen with it.
He somewhat disdained ordinary Tier Three Demon King Inner Core Essence Blood.
He still had some stock on hand: Tier Three Upper Grade Inner Cores of Thunder Flame Flood Dragon and Three-headed Fire Wolf.
Middle Grade Inner Cores of Golden Eye Fire Eagle and Fire Rock Earth Dragon.
As for Cold Fire Crow King and Golden Clawed Eagle King Inner Cores, they were merely Lower Grade.
In Shen Xuan’s view, anything less than Tier Three Upper Grade was no longer necessary for refinement.
Now, with many Innate Divine Powers mastered, he needed to choose the best and focus his efforts on reaching higher levels.
Further, refining Inner Core Essence Blood with the Mysterious Jade Talisman yielded benefits mainly in Dao Rhyme Value.
The amount of Dao Rhyme Value directly correlates with the grade of materials.
𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Despite having accumulated millions of Dao Rhyme Value, using it for breakthroughs and enhancements to Talent Skills would only be woefully inadequate, always insufficient.
He was willing to attend the auction this time, both to broaden his horizons and to acquire some high-tier Inner Core Essence Blood for future needs.
Moreover, there was another important purpose.
To cash in the accumulated High-quality Golden Transformation Pills.
In these four years, he had quietly saved over ten such pills.
It was time to convert them into more practical resources.
With his mind made up, Shen Xuan chatted briefly with Xu Haozhi, Zhang Shixiu, Gu Xiaoyao and others.
He declined Xu Haozhi’s invitation to join him.
He decided to attend the auction alone.
Joining the Fuhai Commerce Alliance’s team, security would be more assured.
Fuhai Commerce Alliance was a Divinity Transformation level cultivation influence.
You could count its top-tier influence even in the hidden dragon and crouching tiger-filled Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, and no one dared to provoke it lightly.
However, Shen Xuan was unwilling to deal with Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Going incognito was more convenient, without many scruples.
...
Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, inner residence of Fuhai Commerce Alliance branch.
Xu Haozhi stood respectfully, reporting to Vice Alliance Leader Lu Rushan.
"Haozhi, do you think that Shen Xingchen will appear at this auction?"
Lu Rushan put down his paintbrush and looked over with calm eyes.
To this day, even as a Nascent Soul True Monarch himself, he took Shen Xingchen more seriously.
"Reporting to the hierarch, based on my assessment, he is very likely to go alone."
Xu Haozhi pondered for a moment and replied respectfully.
"Watching his behavior, he seems to have an obsession with Nascent Soul Pill, so he should not miss this auction."
"Heh, quite ambitious."
Lu Rushan chuckled coldly, a playful look flashing in his eyes.
"He seems quite wealthy, daring to covet Nascent Soul Pill. If I remember correctly, his apparent cultivation is only at Golden Core Early Stage?"
"Correct. His Spiritual Power is solid and well-founded. Observing his appearance, a breakthrough to Golden Core Middle Stage may not be far off."
Xu Haozhi supplemented.
"But that’s only the cultivation level he shows to others."
Lu Rushan shook his head, his gaze deep.
"This person’s real realm is definitely not limited to that. If he didn’t have some reliance, how could he dare to act so boldly, setting fire to Demon Birds and pursuing Tribulation Cultivator leaders on the spaceship? He must have used some Secret Technique to conceal his aura."
"True Monarch, discerning indeed. This was also my guess, hence I dare not act rashly."
Xu Haozhi carefully said, "Otherwise, back in Yueqi City, I already wanted to..."
"No!"
Lu Rushan categorically denied, "If I’m not mistaken, this person is very adept at disguise, his name and appearance are probably not real. You are not his match."
"Yes, I also fear to alert him and ruin True Monarch’s affairs."
Xu Haozhi quickly bowed his head.
"Any news from Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace, Fairy Pavilion, or National Colors Building about this person?" Lu Rushan asked.
"Reporting to True Monarch, no clues. He seems to have appeared out of thin air, unable to find any background." Xu Haozhi shook his head.
"Forget it."
Lu Rushan sighed lightly, gazing out at the bustling Immortal City street scene.
"As he’s currently cooperating with our alliance in alchemy, we’ll observe his words and actions for now. As long as he behaves, let him be. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to take action."
His tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Myriad Phenomena Immortal City had this disadvantage.
Influences were intricate and held each other in check.
Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace imposed strict rules, hanging high above.
Some things that couldn’t be exposed couldn’t be acted upon.
Otherwise, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch himself, if he personally went to Phoenix Perch Mountain to capture Shen Xingchen back to the alliance and plant a Restriction...
Afterwards, wouldn’t he obediently refine pills for him, like a laborer?
This was a Tier Three Upper Grade Pill Master!
Capable of refining High-quality Golden Transformation Pills!
The profits possible, even Lu Rushan couldn’t help but feel his heart ablaze and quite envious.
