At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu found refining these two magical treasures much easier than he had imagined.

Because these were all top-grade items enhanced by the Qiankun Xuanhu (a magical gourd), the refining process was completed very quickly.

These two magical treasures can be stored in the dantian and nurtured, and can be summoned at any time.

Next, he began to take control of the two magical treasures. After all, he still had a month to go, during which time he needed to fully master them.

In addition, he also needs to master the Nine Tribulations Thunder Body and cultivate the sword technique, the Nine Tribulations Thunder Sword Domain.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ling Xiu arrived at the white jade square of the Xuan Yang Sect.

In the center of the square is a huge training ground where many disciples spar with each other.

Ling Xiu then sparred with several disciples. Although he held back his strength, the disciples were almost powerless to fight back.

Thus, he had no choice but to return to Lingshan Peak and create a training ground outside the peak himself.

"Freeze it!"

A thought struck him, and he whispered a command.

Immediately, a bolt of lightning shot out from his dantian.

The lightning dragon transformed into a long, purple-gold sword of thunder, flashing with light at an extremely fast speed.

brush!brush!brush!

A vast expanse of sword energy surged forth, mercilessly tearing through space and shooting towards the heavens.

Instantly, a thunderous sword light swept across the heavens and earth, resounding through the sky and causing a considerable rumbling noise.

As he soared into the air, endlessly wielding his sword, the dazzling lightning-infused light shot towards the peaks beyond the Nine Peaks.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a sound like an explosion from the mountainside was heard.

The dazzling purple lightning sword light shook the mountains, shattering rocks that tumbled rapidly down the mountainside.

Dust and smoke filled the air, and countless thunderbolts surged, their power overwhelming and even alarming the other major peaks.

"It's done!"

With a thought, Ling Xiu quickly withdrew all the dazzling lightning dragon sword light.

The Purple Cloud Thunder Sword was so powerful that it vanished silently into the sky, as if nothing had ever happened.

Such powerful force satisfied Ling Xiu immensely.

With another thought, a pattern of divine tortoise shells formed in front of him.

The 'Myriad Calamities Xuanwu Shield' exudes a sense of stability and weight, as if it could withstand the impact of a mountain, making its defensive power reach an astonishing level, practically indestructible.

"The Purple Heaven Thunder Sword and the Myriad Calamities Black Tortoise Shield are both offensive and defensive."

"My current full-force strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Transcendent cultivator, and I could even fight against a late-stage Transcendent expert."

Ling Xiu felt the abundance of longevity essence within his body and was filled with confidence in himself.

He continued to nurture these two powerful treasures in his dantian.

"The meeting and exchange event at Xuan Yang Wan Bao Ge should be starting soon."

Before descending the mountain, Ling Xiu continued to use the "Hidden Heaven and Concealed Dao Technique" to suppress his cultivation at the early stage of the Profound Realm. He also changed into other clothes, wearing the "Concealing Dust Robe" and a cloak, before heading down the mountain.

When he arrived at Xuan Yang Wan Bao Ge again, Manager Zhang was already waiting for him in the front hall.

Seeing his attire, the shopkeeper was not surprised at all. After all, this meeting and exchange was for cultivators from all walks of life who had reached the Transcendent Realm, including those in the late Transcendent Realm or the Great Perfection Realm.

"Follow me!"

The shopkeeper led Ling Xiu outside the Wanbao Pavilion to a mysterious palace.

"Elder Li, there is a small teleportation array here. You can be teleported to your destination through this array."

Ling Xiu nodded and then stepped into the palace.

He was quickly transported to an unfamiliar place via the small teleportation array.

When Ling Xiu opened his eyes again, he had arrived at an underground palace.

The palace was dimly lit, but exquisitely decorated.

Nearly thirty cultivators at the Tongxuan Realm have already gathered here.

Under divine perception, these people had obviously concealed themselves; some were wearing masks or cloaks, not showing their true faces.

These people didn't know each other, and they were all wary of one another, so they wouldn't reveal their identities.

Two or three people were gathered together, talking in hushed tones. The atmosphere was both oppressive and mysterious.

However, judging from the auras sensed from these people, they were mostly at the early stage of the Profound Realm, with only a few at the later stage or the Great Perfection Realm.

Ling Xiu casually walked to a corner, found a seat at random, and looked around at the people.

Just then, an old man dressed in the attire of Xuan Yang Wan Bao Ge walked to the center of the palace.

The old man was clearly a late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator. He looked at everyone present and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoists, first of all, welcome to this meeting organized by our Wanbaoge."

As you all know, the rules are that Wanbaoge is a platform where all fellow cultivators can display any treasures they possess, exchange them, or purchase them with spirit stones. Bartering is permitted, all transactions are free, and auctions are also welcome.

I am honored to host this event. I hope everyone will maintain order and get what they need.

Let's begin!

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone began to look at each other.

At this moment, a middle-aged monk walked towards the center of the palace.

A spiritual herb appeared in his hand, pure white, and like a ginseng fruit, it looked like a tiny person.

"Everyone, this is a 700-year-old 'Blood Lotus Essence' from my collection. Refining it can enhance the Profound True Fire."

Anyone who needs it can exchange it for Xuan-grade refining materials of equal value; if it's spirit stones, it will cost 80,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Several cultivators nearby were eager to try their luck; this 'Blood Lotus Essence' could enhance true fire, and it was indeed very valuable.

It was quickly purchased by a cultivator for 80,000 low-grade spirit stones.

After the first transaction was completed, the atmosphere began to liven up.

Many cultivators also took out their treasures and displayed them on the central platform.

There were Xuan-rank magical artifacts, as well as demonic and evil magical artifacts, among which a "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" appeared on the stage.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls can absorb ten thousand souls to obtain their power and strengthen itself.

There are also low-grade Xuan-level Blazing Flame Blade and Shadow-Bearing Sword, among others.

The movement technique "Wind Trace and Cloud Shadow Step" allows for instantaneous movement, as well as "Heavenly Journey Sword and Shield," "Innate Five Shields," and the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" which traps mid-stage Transcendent cultivators.

The most noteworthy item was a jade slip containing the escape technique "Seven Star Light Escape," which sparked a fierce competition among many.

The treasures traded here were indeed unlike anything seen on the market, and Ling Xiu was tempted by them several times.

The next one to appear was also a spiritual herb, named "Thousand Spirit Herb".

This magical herb is said to be a key ingredient in the refining of the "Spirit Sea Pill".

Ling Xiu examined these treasures with his divine sense and was very tempted by many of them. The prices revealed also attracted many people to join the bidding.

He remained calm and composed, but he also witnessed the allure of clandestine deals.

These seemingly independent cultivators at the Tongxuan Realm actually possess considerable wealth and resources.

The fact that Xuan Yang Wan Bao Ge organized this exchange meeting also demonstrates that Xuan Yang Sect was aware of such clandestine trading venues, which is a form of tacit acceptance.

Ling Xiu was indeed tempted by the "Seven Star Light Escape" and the "Thousand Spirit Grass," but the "Seven Star Light Escape" was incompatible with his own cultivation method and was too expensive, so he had to give it up.

Ling Xiu seemed to have seen the Thousand Spirit Grass on the market before; it wasn't particularly precious, so he naturally gave it up.

Several more remarkable treasures appeared later, similar to magical artifacts of the divine soul type.
