Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Moreover, even if Brother Qu has now become a Harmonized Dao True Immortal, if we are talking about true combat strength, Zhang Jing is confident he could give the opponent a hard time with three Dao Bodies.

Zhang Jing's thoughts flew about.

Moments later, across from him.

"Choosing to hide his form and breathe, it seems to be another one coming to try his luck," said the slender gentleman as he exchanged a glance with Qu Junhou, both of them shaking their heads in unison.

Since the start of the trade conference, Qu Junhou had seen many cultivators come to seek trade with his Senior Brother, and he had also learned a bit about how things work.

Those who come from the Taiyi Infinite Dao Sect, or any other immortal legacy, generally disdain to hide their appearance.

And those who actively choose to hide their appearances are almost always Loose Cultivator True Immortals.

It's not that Qu Junhou looked down on Loose Cultivator True Immortals—in fact, quite the opposite—he held great respect for these True Immortals.

But to be blunt, the resources in the hands of Loose Cultivator True Immortals are somewhat lacking for them.

Not to mention, the Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pill that Senior Brother needed this time was a unique great pill of the Tao Sect, not even available to sect disciples, let alone Loose Cultivators.

Therefore—

At this moment.

"I have had the honor of meeting both Daoists," came a mild voice from within the myst across, which immediately drew Qu Junhou's attention back to the present.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to meet you, Daoist. May I know which treasure of mine has caught your eye? Please feel free to speak openly," said the slender man with a smile.

"I am quite interested in the Jianmu Green Branch in Daoist brother's possession, may I ask if Daoist brother is willing to part with it?"

Zhang Jing did not hide anything and spoke directly to the point.

In front of his two fellow sect disciples, he did not reveal his identity, nor did he deliberately change his voice.

Everything came naturally.

"Jianmu Green Branch?"

Qu Junhou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He could never have imagined that this 'Loose Cultivator True Immortal' would aim straight for the most precious item that his Senior Brother had brought out this time.

At the same time.

"Now that I think about it, his voice is quite similar to Senior Brother Zhang Jing," Qu Junhou thought to himself.

Of course, it was just a similarity in voice.

He knew that it was almost impossible for Senior Brother Zhang Jing to appear here now, since this was a True Immortal trade conference.

"Haha, Daoist, I'll be frank with you, I brought this Jianmu Green Branch specifically to exchange for some Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pills needed for cultivation breakthroughs, so I may have to disappoint you—"

The slender man said apologetically.

However, before he could finish, the man's voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had choked him, and he was unable to utter another word.

Only to see the slender man staring dumbfoundedly at the fairy pill that had appeared in front of Zhang Jing, wrapped in golden light and exuding a fragrant scent, his mouth agape but without making a sound.

Zhang Jing's slightly nervous voice transmitted out:

"Daoist, I wonder if this Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Fairy Pill of mine will suffice? If three turns are not enough, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

When he heard the mention of the Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pill from the man earlier, he instantly recalled the many Immortal Pills and Spiritual Medicines he had obtained from Bai Gusou, among which seemed to be this one.

However, the one thing Zhang Jing was not sure about was whether the three-turn fairy pill in his hands met the other party's requirements.

"Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pill, and it's a three-turn one?"

The slender man swallowed hard, unable to resist shifting his gaze from the fairy pill to the mist above, trying to see through the mist to Zhang Jing's true appearance.

But it was all in vain.

Yet at this moment, he was almost certain that the man who had chosen to hide his appearance must be a Senior Brother from their Taiyi Sect.

Otherwise, it was quite impossible for him to have a Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Fairy Pill in his hands!

After all, the Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pill was so precious that even the lowest quality one-turn pill was beyond the reach of ordinary people, not to mention a three-turn one, which was typically only in the possession of the old monsters in the Earth Immortal Realm or those who held the legacy of various True Teachings.

Wait a minute!

It was as if a lightning bolt had struck through the slender man's mind.

His face suddenly turned pale.

A Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Fairy Pill, a concealed identity—could it be—

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, otherwise it would be hard to explain why this person would choose to conceal his appearance.

However, it seemed rather audacious for this fellow to be peddling these items so openly in the Qingxiao Xuanming Heaven.

Understanding the key issue,

The slender man suppressed the shock in his heart and said cautiously:

"Esteemed Senior, a Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Fairy Pill would indeed suffice, but just this one pill will probably not be enough to exchange for the Jianmu Green Branch in my possession."

"Three pills, what do you say?"

Zhang Jing spoke frankly, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief within his heart.

Thankfully, he had not previously handed over these unused Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Fairy Pills to Senior Brother Yan Chihong for auction.

Otherwise, I would once again find myself staring helplessly at those higher-grade innate divine objects.

"Indeed, indeed!"

The lean man weighed in his heart for a moment. Although three pills weren't many, they were still Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Immortal Pills, enough for his breakthrough needs.

"Since that's the case, then I shall make the exchange with you, Senior."

Taking a deep breath, the man waved his sleeve, and a piece of azure wood branch, as long as a forearm and subtly shimmering with mysterious Dao Patterns, appeared in mid-air.

At the same time, three Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Immortal Pills appeared before Zhang Jing, and he hadn't even used an immortal jade container to hold them.

Both men simultaneously connected to the Auction Field of All Worlds.

In an instant, with a flash of brilliance, the Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Immortal Pills in front of Zhang Jing disappeared, replaced by the Jumu azure branch teeming with boundless Yimu vitality.

He reached out and gently took the Jumu azure branch, his eyes involuntarily flashing with excitement.

It was finally in his possession.

Combined with the more than twenty quadrillion worth of luck movement, he would be able to bring forth the fourth and fifth layers of his Original Realm all at once when he returned.

No, if Senior Brother Yan Chihong's end goes smoothly, perhaps even the sixth and seventh layers of the Original Realm could also be brought forth together.

Once that happened, needless to say, his own strength would undergo a transformative change.

If this amplification continued, by the time around the twentieth layer of Original Realm was nurtured into existence, Zhang Jing might be truly capable of contending against Unity Realm Stage True Immortals without relying on Acquired Spiritual Treasures and many other external forces.

And when the thirty-six layers of Heaven reach true completion, who knows to what extent his combat power will soar.

"Taiyi's Thirty-Six Heavens, High Jade Emperor, Emperor of the Mysterious Heavens, Dharma Phase! It seems... I've elevated a real monster," Zhang Jing muttered to himself.

Time passed without knowing how long.

He came back to his senses.

The fog before his eyes began to thicken, and the scenery inside the room across started to blur and drift away.

At that moment,

Qu Junhou felt something and suddenly raised his head, meeting Zhang Jing's gaze unexpectedly.

His heart jolted.

This familiar feeling—

At this point, even if Qu Junhou was slow to catch on, he had realized that the man in the fog was none other than Senior Brother Zhang Jing.

"However, how is this possible!"

A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Brother, the trade meet is about to end, let's leave early," the lean man abruptly interjected, disrupting Qu Junhou's chain of thought.

"Why is that?"

"The person just now was problematic, and might have slain one of our Tao Sect's Senior Brothers to get those Taiyuan Golden Three-turn Immortal Pills."

The lean man unconsciously looked at the three Golden Cores undulating in his hand and sighed,

"The key is he saw us both. If only... alas, if only I had concealed our presences."

No sooner had he finished speaking,

"That, Senior Brother,"

Qu Junhou picked up on the conversation, saying with a complex expression,

"Just now, that person... I think I know who it is. You don't need to worry, he is also a disciple of our Tao Sect, and his identity is quite extraordinary."

...

...

"Who is it?"

In Room A JiaShen 001, a seductive woman sat up, licked her lips, and looked eagerly at Yan Chihong in front of her.

Her trembling bosom shook relentlessly, revealing ample allure.

Seeing this scene, the handsome man beside her instantly turned his head away, daring not to look further.

"There's no need to worry about me, Tao Friend. If I reveal his identity without his permission, I dare not," Yan Chihong said with a smile, his voice carrying an undertone of refusal.

"Even the Tao Friend is so cautious. Being here in the Qingxiao Mysterious Heavens, could it be that he is from the immortal Taiyi Sect, and moreover, holds a high position within the sect?" the woman inquired with a slight frown, probing.

Yan Chihong didn't answer, but subtly nodded his head.

She suddenly understood.

"In that case, I agree to your conditions, Tao Friend. As soon as I find a higher-grade innate divine object containing the principles of space, I will come to trade for the innate purple qi," the woman declared.

That said,

She seemed to recall something, and her bewitching eyes rolled seductively as she smiled and said,

"Tao Friend, would you mind asking that person if he's interested in the recently traded Zijin Dragons Boat? If he's willing to exchange it for the innate purple qi, I wouldn't mind taking a loss."
