Chapter 512 - 511: Exchanging for Sevenfold Pure Bamboo!
Actually, it’s not just this person; many present are quite dissatisfied.
This dissatisfaction is not only directed at the owner of the Seven-color Clear Bamboo but also at the Chaotian Tower Auction House.
Because such an auction blatantly irritates people, it is not a fair transaction at all.
True Master Shu Tong’s expression was somewhat awkward and helpless.
He naturally understood the sentiment of the cultivators; it’s not just these people, even True Master Shu Tong himself was somewhat displeased with the owner of this treasure.
If it weren’t for the association of this treasure’s owner with their Luofu Immortal Island, this Seven-color Clear Bamboo wouldn’t have appeared in this auction at all.
"Senior Shu Tong, how about I exchange Pure Yang Treasure Iron for the Seven-color Clear Bamboo?"
At this moment, a voice came from the compartment where Gu Yuan was located.
Upon hearing these words, many were momentarily stunned and then greatly surprised.
There were quite a few who gasped, amazed that Gu Yuan actually possessed something like Pure Yang Treasure Iron.
Pure Yang Treasure Iron is one of the nine Divine Golds, fully qualified as material for refining Spirit Treasures, equivalent in grade to Innate Spirit Root.
Of course, it depends on the quantity.
However, Gu Yuan, a mere Golden Core Cultivator, first auctioned over a million Spirit Stones and five hundred White Sun Pills for a fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell Spirit Treasure, and now reveals the existence of Pure Yang Treasure Iron, causing many to envy and become suspicious.
What is the identity of this young man, to possess so many treasures?!
Some cultivators couldn’t help but have dubious thoughts, their eyes flickering, even contemplating investigating Gu Yuan’s background after the auction.
If he is truly someone significant, it can be let go, but if he’s just pretending, then he cannot be easily overlooked.
"Senior Shu Tong should understand the value of this Seven-color Clear Bamboo. So, I intend to exchange two hundred pounds of Pure Yang Treasure Iron for it; I hope senior can convey my offer."
Gu Yuan’s voice rang again: "If the owner of this treasure agrees, then we’ll trade; if not, just consider it unsaid."
"This..."
True Master Shu Tong hesitated for a moment, nodded: "Alright, young friend, please wait for a moment."
Saying this, he hurriedly descended from the podium, obviously going to contact the owner of the Seven-color Clear Bamboo.
For a moment, the entire auction house buzzed with activity as cultivators chatted and murmured among themselves.
Suddenly, a voice rang out:
"I’m interested in your Pure Yang Treasure Iron; I wonder how much more you have?"
The cultivators were greatly surprised, for the speaker was Ye Chunyang in the pavilion on the seventh floor.
The hall immediately fell silent.
Gu Yuan’s voice echoed again: "If Senior Ye has a need, you can send someone to my compartment to have a chat."
The voice carried a calm tone, with no hint of insecurity or awe towards the prominent figure on the Dragon List.
To this, Ye Chunyang simply replied with one word: "Alright."
After that, no more sound was made.
Once again, the cultivators burst into chatter, astonished and shocked.
However, Gu Yuan had no intention of enlightening the cultivators; the door to his compartment had been knocked upon.
"Please come in."
Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.
Soon, the door opened, and a tall man walked in.
This person had sword-like brows and eyes, a rugged face, and a sharp and strong aura, especially in his eyes, which bore a piercing intent aimed at the divine soul.
This man was the previous Sword Son of the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect, Ye Chunyang!
Moreover, he was the third key figure on the Dragon List!
"Remarkable that Senior Ye has come in person."
Gu Yuan rose and paid respects, as it was the proper etiquette towards a senior.
"No need for formalities."
Ye Chunyang shook his head, expression serious but causing Gu Yuan to have a favorable impression.
Because this person clearly was not one to meddle unnecessarily, instead belonging to the serious cultivators devoted to their path.
Such people are focused, sincere, persistent, meticulous, and steadfast.
Therefore, Gu Yuan didn’t waste words and took out Pure Yang Treasure Iron about the size of a fist from his Storage Pouch.
The iron was red-black, like a pebble, radiating a faint red light with a pure and intense aura emanating.
Ye Chunyang’s gaze immediately focused, evidently growing warmer.
"This item, I want it. How about I exchange an Upper Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword with you?"
He stated deeply.
A man true to his name, the Daoist Divine Techniques he cultivates are all related to swords, his foundational skill being the Pure Yang Sword Manual of his sect.
And Pure Yang Treasure Iron, a Divine Gold, is exceedingly important to him, helping him master a tremendously terrifying swordsmanship.
That’s why he was interested in Gu Yuan’s Pure Yang Treasure Iron.
Gu Yuan shook his head: "Sorry, this piece of Pure Yang Treasure Iron totals more than a thousand pounds; I plan to cut two hundred pounds for the exchange of the Seven-color Clear Bamboo, the remainder for trade."
"As for the Upper Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword..."
Gu Yuan raised his hand,
Screeeech—!!!
With a sound of sword ringing, a bright, clear Sword Light appeared in Gu Yuan’s hand.
This was a sword, a flying sword imbued with sharpness, incomparable in its lethal aura.
The body of the sword glittered with a chilling, silvery white light!
"This flying sword is my Lifebound Magical Artifact. For me, even a Top Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword cannot compare to this Lifebound Flying Sword."
Gu Yuan said calmly.
"Indeed, a good sword!"
Ye Chunyang’s eyes lit up and he nodded cautiously: "The sword’s makeup is exceptional and pure, probably refined from several types of the nine Divine Golds, and the Sword Intent within is precise and pure; it seems your swordsmanship does not lag behind mine."
Ye Chunyang was indeed astonished; events that could surprise him were few and far between.
Yet now, he was genuinely shocked.
Not due to Gu Yuan’s Lifebound Flying Sword but due to the powerful Sword Intent contained in the sword.
The strength of this Sword Intent was such that even he couldn’t confidently guarantee he’d surpass it.
In other words, although Gu Yuan’s cultivation was a Great Realm lower than his, Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship was actually comparable, not inferior at all.
The specifics of who’s stronger or weaker would only be revealed if the two exchanged blows.
This surprised and puzzled Ye Chunyang, why was Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship so formidable when his cultivation was obviously not high?
However, seeing Gu Yuan’s Lifebound Flying Sword, he understood Gu Yuan’s meaning.
Although the grade of this flying sword was merely a top-tier magical artifact, its essence was exceptionally high and perfectly suited for Gu Yuan, even if an Upper Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword might wield greater power, it was not as fitting for Gu Yuan.
Therefore, Gu Yuan wouldn’t trade.
No matter; aside from the flying sword, Ye Chunyang had other items.
"I possess another fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell; though not overly large, it should be somewhat useful to you."
As he spoke, Ye Chunyang took out another Taiyi Golden Bell Spirit Treasure Fragment.
