Chapter 1257: Chapter 762: Trading Ancient Ores!

“Did you succeed?”

The crowd watched in shock as the sturdy space deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine was destroyed, and most of the Cold Pool was demolished. They hoped that Qi Pojun could slay the ancient evil spirit.

The dust and Sword Qi dispersed, revealing that both the ancient evil spirit and the Bronze Immortal Palace had vanished. Qi Pojun appeared solemn, with his brow tightly furrowed.

“The ancient evil spirit’s magic artifact is extraordinary; it tore open space and escaped. I hope the Three Realms won’t face further calamities because of this…”

Qi Pojun felt helpless.

The gap between him and the Great Emperor of the Human Clan was too vast, and he could not obliterate even an ancient evil spirit not in its prime.

“It seems we’ll have to take it step by step.”

Lu Changsheng tried to hold off the ancient evil spirit until Qi Pojun arrived, but they still couldn’t deal with it. They’ll have to think of a plan later.

“We must inform the ancestors of our Taiji Holy Land about this…”

As a talented disciple of the Taiji Holy Land, Zhao Yu had never encountered such a thorny situation.

The ancient evil spirit obtained the magic artifact it had hidden since ancient times, and no one knew what kind of disaster it might bring to the Three Realms.

Qi Pojun sighed, “With the Demon Realm and Immortal Realm invading, and the Immortal Realm in chaos, we should resolve this calamity first before considering eliminating the ancient evil spirit.”

The crowd agreed, “That’s all we can do.”

Lu Changsheng had no better ideas, but he quickly noticed that as the cave deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine collapsed, blocks of dark yellow crystal emerged.

These crystal ores were as small as pebbles but could also be as large as watermelons, emanating an impressive spiritual power.

“There are so many Taichu Crystals here!”

The elders of the Taiji Holy Land followed Lu Changsheng’s gaze. Because Qi Pojun attacked the ancient evil spirit, the cave collapsed, causing some of the deeply buried ores in the Primordial Ancient Mine to surface.

Taichu Crystals contain Innate Qi, which can enhance one’s cultivation if refined, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

A Taichu Crystal the size of a pebble is valued as a nineteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

At least a few hundred Taichu Crystals emerged, some even larger than pebbles, equating to a twentieth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, worth a fortune.

The five Innate Sacred Lands jointly own the Primordial Ancient Mine, and even if divided equally, it would be a substantial gain.

In these turbulent times across the Three Realms, acquiring such a batch of Taichu Crystals would be beneficial to the five Innate Sacred Lands.

Seeing the large number of Taichu Crystals, Lu Changsheng was tempted.

The Taichu Crystals were from the Primordial Ancient Mine, something Lu Changsheng just didn’t have.

Lu Changsheng needed the Innate Qi within the Taichu Crystals to break through the Divine King Realm’s barrier.

The ores in the Primordial Ancient Mine belonged to the five Innate Sacred Lands.

Lu Changsheng, naturally, couldn’t claim the Taichu Crystals in front of everyone for himself.

But Lu Changsheng had countless other treasures that he could use to trade with the Taiji Holy Land.

“It’s not just Taichu Crystals; other ores are appearing too!”

“Eternal Cold Stone! It’s actually Eternal Cold Stone!”

An ancestor from the Guanghan Sacred Land spotted a chilling silver stone at the edge of the destroyed Cold Pool and cried out in surprise.

“It really is Eternal Cold Stone! This is a legendary twentieth-grade ore!”

“Could it be that the coldness of the Cold Pool comes from the Eternal Cold Stone?”

“It’s said that the Eternal Cold Stone is an extremely cold object that can suppress the aura of all treasures in the world. Could it be that the ancient evil spirit used the Eternal Cold Stone in the Cold Pool to suppress the Bronze Immortal Palace’s aura, hiding this magic artifact in the Primordial Ancient Mine so that even the five ancient Great Emperors of the Human Clan couldn’t detect it?”

Zhao Yu speculated, causing everyone to gasp.

The ancient evil spirit was terrifyingly clever, leaving a backup plan knowing it would face a calamity.

No wonder it was a being that even the five ancient Great Emperors of the Human Clan couldn’t completely obliterate.

The Eternal Cold Stone lay at the bottom of the Cold Pool.

Due to the immense power of Qi Pojun’s Sword Qi, most of the Cold Pool was destroyed, revealing the Eternal Cold Stone.

Xia Ningxue took a long look at the Eternal Cold Stone.

This ancient stone was invaluable to cultivators practicing the Guanghan Palace’s cultivation technique.

“Ahem, senior, I’d like to trade a batch of treasures with you for the Eternal Cold Stone and Taichu Crystals.”

Knowing how important the Eternal Cold Stone was to Xia Ningxue, Lu Changsheng proactively offered a trade with Qi Pojun.

Qi Pojun was taken aback, “How many do you want?”

“All of them.”

What?

Qi Pojun, Zhao Yu, Xikong, and the others from the five Innate Sacred Lands had puzzled expressions.

The number of Taichu Crystals in this cave was vast, and though only one Eternal Cold Stone emerged, its value was a hundred times that of a Taichu Crystal. Yet Lu Changsheng wanted them all in one go.

Lu Changsheng’s riches made even Qi Pojun feel awkward.

Qi Pojun was incredulous, “Do you know the value of these Taichu Crystals? And there might be more than one Eternal Cold Stone here, deep within the Cold Pool. Otherwise, it couldn’t conceal the aura of the Bronze Immortal Palace as such a magic artifact… You’re sure you want to trade for so many Taichu Crystals and Eternal Cold Stones?”

“Let me think…”

As Lu Changsheng considered, he organized a batch of treasures accumulated in the Chaos Realm within his Inner World.

The people from the five Innate Sacred Lands breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought Lu Changsheng was about to squander his wealth to this extent.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng said, “Apart from the Taichu Crystals and Eternal Cold Stones, I also want to trade for other treasures from the Primordial Ancient Mine, like Vermilion Bird Emperor Gold, Azure Nether Stone, Earth Flame Heart Lotus, Red Flame Fruit, and so on. Just give me ten or eight of each…”

What?!

Everyone was even more shocked.

They thought Lu Changsheng had given up, but Lu Changsheng intended to trade for all the treasures from the Primordial Ancient Mine!

How wealthy must one be to dare to exchange for so many treasures?

Lu Changsheng took out a Space Ring, containing a myriad of treasures, and handed it to Qi Pojun.

Qi Pojun’s Divine Sense swept through the Space Ring, confirming that the value of the treasures inside was enough to trade for a batch of treasures from the Primordial Ancient Mine.

“Alright.”

Although Qi Pojun couldn’t understand why Lu Changsheng desired the ancient ores of the Primordial Ancient Mine, having excavated the mine for many years, the Taichu Holy Land had accumulated various rare ores, and trading a batch of excess ancient ores for Lu Changsheng’s treasures could be beneficial for the Taichu Holy Land.

He really could afford it…

Zhao Yu and Xikong were secretly amazed.

Since Qi Pojun agreed, it indicated that Lu Changsheng could indeed provide equivalent treasures!

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng collected all the Taichu Crystals in the cave into his Inner World, and the precious Eternal Cold Stone was gifted to Xia Ningxue.

The Eternal Cold Stone was suitable for Xia Ningxue’s cultivation technique.

“This large batch of Taichu Crystals is enough for giving to disciples for a while.”

Lu Changsheng planned to reward his disciples with Taichu Crystals once he left the Primordial Ancient Mine.

As for other treasures from the Primordial Ancient Mine, Lu Changsheng had more requests to make of Qi Pojun when he reached the Primordial Mountain.
