Chapter 2417: Chapter 2417: Golden Toad Commerce

No matter how fast Jing Yan’s alchemy speed is, how much can he refine on his own?

Furthermore, Jing Yan can’t always focus his main energy on alchemy. He needs to cultivate himself and continue to improve his cultivation. Reaching the depths of the Thunder Domain, Jing Yan’s sense of the Immortal Emperor realm became increasingly strong. Although Jing Yan is currently at the critical point between the middle and late stages of the Immortal Venerable realm, he can sense that if he truly steps into the Immortal Emperor level, the opportunity must be in the Thunder Domain.

Therefore, even if not for the Thunder Emperor or Night Moon Immortal Emperor, for himself, Jing Yan must rejuvenate the Thunder Domain. Perhaps the day when the Thunder Domain flourishes again will be the day Jing Yan sees the dawn of achieving the position of Immortal Emperor.

"In the short term, it’s impossible to recruit Immortal Pill Masters to join Hongmeng City, so the High Grade Divine Pill and Basic Immortal Pills need to be procured from outside," Jing Yan said softly.

High Grade Divine Pill and Basic Immortal Pill consumption is too large; Jing Yan cannot devote his time and energy to refining these elixirs. Procuring them from the outside world is also feasible, just to earn some profit eventually. And the true allure of the Pill Tower is actually in the high-end Immortal Pills. High-level Divine Pals and Basic Immortal Pills, in any Pill Tower within the Heavenly Domain, shouldn’t be lacking; hence, the strength of this competition still depends on the high-end Immortal Pills.

"I can only develop step by step. Currently, my basic resources are greatly consumed, and I can’t provide enough Black Crystal Stone to purchase elixirs. Hmm, wait for Ru Li to sell Divine Soul Items, then make arrangements," Jing Yan nodded gently.

...

Mystic Underworld City!

The force behind Mystic Underworld City is named Golden Toad Commerce.

This Golden Toad Commerce is one of the largest commerce houses in Kunling Heaven. In terms of strength, it’s not much different from Tianji Trading House. Their core businesses are different, though. Tianji Trading House’s core business is Heavenly Domain transportation, while Golden Toad Commerce’s core business is auctions.

All cities affiliated with Golden Toad Commerce must have a Golden Toad Commerce Auction House. Even in large cities belonging to other forces, many have Golden Toad Commerce Auction Houses. In terms of auction ability, Golden Toad Commerce ranks among the top in Kunling Heaven.

Mystic Underworld City is a city built by Golden Toad Commerce in the depths of the Thunder Domain, and its management layers are filled with people from Golden Toad Commerce. The City Lord is also a cultivator of the Immortal Venerable realm.

Ru Li set off from Hongmeng City and rushed to Mystic Underworld City with no time to spare. He brought the Divine Soul Items given to him by City Lord Jing Yan and planned to convert these Divine Soul Items into currency through the city’s auction house.

Inside the Golden Cicada Auction House.

"Mr. Ru is eager to see me. Do you have some good items to auction?" an old man in a brown long robe asked with a smile after inviting Ru Li to sit down.

This person is Quan Guangzhen, the head of the Golden Cicada Auction House in Mystic Underworld City.

Ru Li and Quan Guangzhen are old acquaintances and have interacted frequently. Previously, Ru Li was the think tank of the Blood Moon Gang, which was engaged in plunder and theft. Occasionally, they would seize treasures of high value. Among these treasures, some might be kept within the Blood Moon Gang, but most would have to be disposed of to exchange for resources like Black Crystal Stone. As a result, he would invariably have dealings with people like Quan Guangzhen.

"Chairman Quan, I indeed have some items to auction through your esteemed auction house this time," Ru Li said in a low voice.

"Heh heh, seeing Mr. Ru so solemn, I’m afraid the items for auction this time aren’t ordinary. We’re all old friends here; please show us the items directly," Quan Guangzhen chuckled lightly and said.

This Quan Guangzhen is also at the Immortal Rhythm Peak Level, but his knowledge far exceeds that of most in the Immortal Rhythm Peak. Otherwise, Golden Toad Commerce wouldn’t have tasked Quan Guangzhen with running an auction house in a city. He may not possess many treasures, but the treasures he’s seen are beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

So despite Ru Li’s somewhat grave expression, Quan Guangzhen wasn’t overly concerned. From past experiences, Ru Li’s treasures, even better ones, generally amounted to several billion Black Crystal Stone at best. Most items were only worth a few billion Black Crystal Stone, mainly Immortal Rhythm Level magical treasures and spells with occasional Immortal Venerable Level magical treasures and spells.

"Chairman Quan, take a look at this," Ru Li stood up and cautiously took out a black magical treasure from his storage magical treasure.

This is an ordinary-grade Divine Soul attack magical treasure. Regular cultivators can activate it to unleash a Divine Soul attack, threatening most cultivators at the Immortal Rhythm Level and having a slight impact even on ordinary Immortal Venerables, slightly reducing their attack power.

"A magical treasure?" With a casual gesture, Quan Guangzhen reached out and took it, continuing, "It seems to be not quite..."

Quan Guangzhen noticed that the material of the magical treasure wasn’t particularly good, likely an Immortal Rhythm Level magical treasure. Even if it’s top-grade, an Immortal Rhythm Level magical treasure rarely exceeds ten billion Black Crystal Stone in value.

However, he stopped mid-sentence. Because upon receiving the Divine Soul magical treasure, he felt something unusual. This magical treasure is clearly different from conventional ones.

Quan Guangzhen’s expression changed slightly, and then he instinctively released a strand of Divine Thought to probe the magical treasure in his hand.

Instantly, he took a deep breath, his shocked gaze turning toward Ru Li.

Divine Soul magical treasure!

In Kunling Heaven, Divine Soul magical treasures are extremely rare. Although Quan Guangzhen has come into contact with Divine Soul magical treasures on occasion, his encounters have been few. Yet after probing with his Divine Thought, he could confidently confirm that the item in his hand is indeed a Divine Soul magical treasure, and its power is quite impressive.

Yes, this is precisely a Divine Soul magical treasure brought out from the Nightmare City region. In the Nightmare City region, this magical treasure is considered ordinary, but in the Nine Heavens Divine Domain, it is quite a remarkable Divine Soul magical treasure.

"Chairman Quan, how is it?" Seeing the change in Quan Guangzhen’s expression, Ru Li felt slightly proud in his heart.

Treasures capable of changing Quan Guangzhen’s demeanor are rarely seen. He has presented numerous treasures to Quan Guangzhen before, but has never seen such an expression change in him.

Quan Guangzhen raised his eyes, fixing them on Ru Li.

"Mr. Ru, where did you obtain this item?" Quan Guangzhen asked in a low voice.

"Chairman Quan, please don’t ask about the origin of this item. I simply want to convert it through your esteemed auction house," Ru Li replied.

"Fine! Then I won’t ask. Mr. Ru, do you have more of these items?" Quan Guangzhen’s eyes flashed as he stared at Ru Li.

"If Chairman Quan is interested in this item, maybe I can obtain two or three more. However, this item’s value is hard to estimate. If it can’t sell for the price I want at your auction house, then perhaps I can’t provide more," Ru Li said with a soft smile.
