Chapter 1026 - 1050: Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Key
"Lin Feng, are you all right? What exactly happened to cause such a phenomenon?" the Ice and Snow Fairy asked urgently.
Chu Linfeng replied with a helpless smile, "I was born with a Pure Yang Body, and because of what happened just now, it triggered the Pure Yang Qi within. If I don’t eliminate this Pure Yang Qi, it could lead to my body exploding and dying. This is mainly because I have sealed the Chaotic Immortal Power."
"Chaotic Immortal Power? Isn’t it Immortal Spirit Power? How could you possibly possess the legendary Chaotic Immortal Power? Why did you seal it?" the Ice and Snow Fairy asked, puzzled.
"It’s a long story, I need to leave. The Flame Immortal Monarch is still waiting for me downstairs. Ruoxi and Xiao Xiao will be in your care. During this period, let’s avoid contact to prevent drawing attention. Ruoxi’s storage ring has many Immortal Stones, enough for this auction’s expenses," Chu Linfeng said.
After Chu Linfeng left the room, Lin Ruoxi said to the Ice and Snow Fairy, "Sister Ruo Lan, I have divided the Immortal Stones in this storage ring into three parts. You and Xiao Xiao each take one part. Where have we arrived? Shall we go out and take a look?"
The Ice and Snow Fairy glanced at the storage ring and was instantly surprised. There were likely tens of thousands of Immortal Stones inside, most of which were Middle Grade and Upper Grade, with several hundred Top-Grade ones, and even a few Immortal Crystals. It was the highest number of Immortal Stones she had ever seen, leaving her speechless for a moment.
"Where did these Immortal Stones come from? How could there be so many? Did Lin Feng rob the treasure left by an Immortal Emperor?" the Ice and Snow Fairy asked.
"We mined these ourselves. When Lin Feng ascended to the Immortal Realm, he entered an Immortal Stone Mine and discovered a huge Immortal Stone Spiritual Vein, hence this abundance of Immortal Stones. The Immortal Crystals in the Reincarnation Bracelet were also obtained there. Didn’t he tell you?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"Lin Feng’s luck is truly terrifying, finding so many Immortal Stones. If anyone knew he had so many Immortal Stones, even the Emperor’s Palace would undoubtedly try to seize them," the Ice and Snow Fairy said.
"This is nothing; he still has more than half with him. Don’t bother thanking me, you’re more familiar with the Immortal Realm than we are, you need to show me and Xiao Xiao around. It’s Lin Feng’s instruction, you wouldn’t disobey him, would you?" Lin Ruoxi said.
Subsequently, the three women disguised their appearances before leaving the room. If three exceptionally beautiful women suddenly appeared, it would surely startle the entire New Capital City. If they were seen by ill-intentioned people, leaving New Capital City would be troublesome.
Meanwhile, as Chu Linfeng entered the tavern hall, the Flame Immortal Monarch had already prepared the food and drinks. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng arriving, he immediately stood up and said, "Why so long? The food is getting cold."
"I took a bath, hence the delay. Have you gotten any important news while you’ve been here?" Chu Linfeng asked softly after sitting down.
The Flame Immortal Monarch poured Chu Linfeng a cup of wine and said, "It can wait; first, try this Jadescent Nectar, the most famous wine in the Immortal Realm. It’s a bottle for each Top-Grade Immortal Stone, so don’t waste it."
Chu Linfeng glanced at the wine in the cup—its color surprisingly green—and detected energy fluctuations. He asked, "Why is this wine so peculiar? Does drinking it bring substantial benefits?"
"If you were an ordinary immortal, drinking this wine might instantly elevate your power by one level. But at our current level, it has no effect, yet it does make one feel quite relaxed and leisurely. You need to slowly experience the specific feeling. Come, let’s have a toast," the Flame Immortal Monarch said.
After saying that, the Flame Immortal Monarch drank it in one gulp, while Chu Linfeng slowly lifted his cup, inhaled its refreshing aroma, and took a small sip, sensing a sweet and sour taste. As it went down, a wave of heat washed over him, followed by a cooling sensation after a few breaths.
This feeling was indeed like the Ice and Fire Two Realms, first heat then cool, truly a magical phenomenon. Chu Linfeng subsequently finished the drink.
Soon, the refreshing sensation spread throughout his entire body, giving him a very comfortable, leisurely feeling, as if he could instantly dispel all fatigue.
The Flame Immortal Monarch laughed upon seeing Chu Linfeng’s enjoyment, "Feels good, doesn’t it? This Ice and Fire Two Realms sensation can only be produced by Jadescent Nectar, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so expensive."
At this moment, voices from several middle-aged men at the adjoining table drifted over. One of them said, "This auction is unbelievable. Reliable sources say there are heaven-defying items up for bid, something like a Spirit Talisman from Duobao Sect."
"What does that matter? My cousin told me that one of the auction items is a key. This key was left by an Ancient Immortal Emperor who successfully ascended to the Divine Realm, leaving all his knowledge and possessions behind. If you find the place and use the key to open it, you can acquire them," another person said.
"I heard about this already. A lake in the Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain frequently shows colorful glows, indicating treasure emergence. Later, many people went to investigate but returned empty-handed.
It’s not that they didn’t find any treasure but because they couldn’t enter. They found a huge tomb at the lake bottom with a powerful restriction preventing approach. However, next to it, there’s a keyhole; I reckon this auction key is meant for that restriction at the tomb," yet another person added.
Chu Linfeng and his companion listened, astonished. They hadn’t expected such things—a Ancient Immortal Emperor capable of ascending to the Divine Realm, possessing immense power and terrifying weapons, magical treasures, and martial skills.
Whoever obtains this Immortal Emperor’s items will prosper, but getting them will undoubtedly be dangerous, with traps and dangers inside the tomb, and acquiring the key also risky.
The principle that possessing valuable jade invites sin is understood by all unless an Immortal Emperor from the Six Great Emperor Domains acquires it, and even then safety isn’t guaranteed, as birds die for food, people die for wealth, with potential attacks from the other five domains.
Chu Linfeng was interested in the Immortal Emperor’s treasure but lacked the strength to get the key, unwilling to get involved in this muddy situation. With his heaven-defying martial skills and Immortal Stones, he didn’t care about the Immortal Emperor’s treasure.
At this time, the trio of women, including the Ice and Snow Fairy, appeared in the tavern hall. The seats were all taken, so they had to share a table. Seeing only two people at Chu Linfeng’s table, the trio directly approached them.
