Chapter 1126: The Auction House and Immortal Crystal Token

Editor: Henyee Translations

Strolling down the avenues of Flying Immortal City, Jiang Chengxuan truly experienced firsthand how much more prosperous the Immortal Domain’s cultivation world was compared to the Floodgate Realm.

As he wandered leisurely, he noticed that the cultivation levels of the pa.s.sing cultivators were overwhelmingly superior.

Those busy or conversing in various grand halls were all exceptionally powerful.

Every now and then, he encountered a Dao Integration cultivator, and seeing a Mahayana Daolord was not uncommon.

Even the guards patrolling the streets were at the Void Returning realm. The armor and weapons they bore, upon Jiang Chengxuan’s inspection, were all at the level of supreme spiritual treasures.

“Even a hegemonic force from the Floodgate Realm would only be capable of commanding a squad here in the Immortal Domain,” Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but reflect.

This disparity in power, brought by the difference in realms, was insurmountable.

Recalling the extinction battle against the Demon Sect, which gathered the majority of high-level cultivators in the Floodgate Realm—only a few hundred Dao Integration cultivators and a couple dozen Mahayana Daolords—it was almost the entire power of the Floodgate Realm.

In Flying Immortal City, this force would barely suffice to guard the entire city, and it would still lack the critical immortal-level combat power.

In other words, the power of an Immortal Domain city, even without counting its immortal combatants, could easily overwhelm the entire Floodgate Realm. This was undeniably terrifying.

Back then, the Five Realms War was vast and dreadful, involving the fate of five races and consuming countless lives, with the flames of war burning for centuries.

Yet now, looking back, Jiang Chengxuan realized it was nothing more than a tribal skirmish in comparison. To the immortals here, it wouldn’t even be worth their time.

No wonder the ancient saying goes, “Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.” From the vantage point of the Immortal Domain, the insignificance of the lower realms was starkly apparent.

This profound understanding deepened Jiang Chengxuan’s insight into why the ancestors of the Immortal Domain rarely concerned themselves with the affairs of the lower realms. They were simply too insignificant to notice.

As he walked through Flying Immortal City, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind became more and more awed. He also began to grasp a deeper understanding of worldly principles.

Unknowingly, he arrived at an exceptionally s.p.a.cious area. The towering buildings and palaces vanished from view, leaving a single colossal structure before him, akin to an immortal mountain. Surrounded by starry clouds and immortal light, it radiated a formidable aura.

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed as he discerned the presence of an immortal-grade array.

“That emblem… could this be the Immortal Domain Auction House?”

Jiang Chengxuan slowly approached the ma.s.sive building, and the number of cultivators around him suddenly increased.

On towering white jade pillars, he glimpsed a totemic emblem: ten hands, each holding uniquely shaped stars, forming an intricate and profound design.

This symbol, recorded in the Immortal East River’s archives, signified the location of the Immortal Domain Auction House.

“This is quite fortuitous,” Jiang Chengxuan mused with a smile.

In any world, auction houses are the most reliable venues for cultivators to acquire top-tier treasures, second only to fortuitous encounters.

In the cultivation world, the most precious items are not easily bought with a pile of spirit stones; they are usually exchanged or traded based on personal connections.

The only exception is at auction houses, where high-level resources and treasures frequently appear, as they offer sellers the greatest benefit.

Here, many seek to quickly sell treasures or acquire urgently needed resources, often leading to unexpected and valuable finds. Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan joined the crowd heading towards the auction house.

After pa.s.sing through a series of mysterious barriers, he soon arrived at an enormous entrance. Just as he was about to step inside, two guards in purple-gold armor suddenly stepped forward, raising their hands to stop him.

“Hmm?” Jiang Chengxuan felt puzzled, wondering if there were rules he hadn’t been informed of by Li Fengyun.

But the next moment, the two guards resolved his confusion. They courteously cupped their hands in greeting and said:

“Immortal Lord, to enter the Immortal Domain Auction House, you need to present an Immortal Crystal Token. Please understand.”

This explanation made Jiang Chengxuan realize and he calmly asked, “I’m new to the Immortal Domain. Could you explain what the Immortal Crystal Token is?”

The two guards smiled, relieved that Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t here to cause trouble, and promptly explained:

“Immortal crystals are the cultivation resources formed from immortal spirit energy, akin to spirit crystals in the lower realms. They are the currency circulated in the Immortal Domain.”

“The Immortal Crystal Token is issued by our auction house to each guest, recording your ident.i.ty. You can also use it to store or borrow immortal crystals from us.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded and then asked, “Where can I obtain this Immortal Crystal Token?”

Suddenly, he felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, before coming to the Immortal Domain, he had left all the non-essential items, including a heap of spirit stones, with his disciple Jiang Anran. Otherwise, bringing them to the Immortal Domain would have rendered them useless, causing a substantial loss.

“We’ve already requested an Immortal Crystal Token for you, Immortal Lord,” one of the guards said with a smile.

Within a few breaths, a female cultivator in a colorful immortal robe approached, holding a thin crystal token in her hands. She gracefully walked over, a fragrant breeze wafting around her, and gently called out, “Immortal Lord, please.”

She offered the crystal token to Jiang Chengxuan with her white jade hands.

Jiang Chengxuan marveled inwardly at the sight. This beautiful female cultivator, without a doubt, was one of the auction house’s hospitality measures. Her cultivation level was that of a Dao Integration cultivator.

Jiang Chengxuan, seasoned as he was, had no doubt that if he wished, this enchanting female cultivator would follow him throughout the auction, serving him.

However, taking the crystal token from her hands, Jiang Chengxuan, untempted by her beauty, nodded slightly, signaling her to leave.
