Chapter 1253: True Immortal’s Reverse Scale, Three Immortal Materials, Part 2

Editor: Henyee Translations

A smiling face greeted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, asking for their names. The Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Fair was as much a place for socializing and networking as it was for trading, making this cultivator’s approach quite natural.

Those around them also turned their attention, eager to learn more.

“Hehe, I wouldn’t dare be so presumptuous,” Jiang Chengxuan responded with a light smile. “I am Jiang Chengxuan, and this is my beloved wife, Shen Ruyan. We both come from the remote region of the Western Continent. It is no surprise that you haven’t heard of us.”

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t directly mention their affiliation with the loose cultivator alliance, but he also didn’t hide it, giving a general answer. His words made many around him ponder, with those familiar with recent events in the Western Continent beginning to form suspicions about their identities.

“Hehe, I see,” the cultivator who had approached them smiled and refrained from further questioning. For most, these details were not particularly significant.

Upon confirming that Jiang Chengxuan was not from a prominent sect, their interest waned. Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took no offense and continued exploring the fair at their own pace.

They soon realized that this place was even larger than they had anticipated, and they were only in the first trading level of the Ten Thousand Treasures Fair, specifically in the eastern sector of the divided zones.

“It’s quite novel how traders here display their most precious treasures openly, waiting for interested parties to approach,” Shen Ruyan commented with interest as she observed the immortal cultivators walking around the fair with treasures in hand, radiating celestial light and divine energy.

“Hehe, we shouldn’t fall behind,” Jiang Chengxuan chuckled. With a flash of spiritual light, he took out a treasure he had prepared for trading. Instantly, the surrounding air grew warmer, with a violent energy barely contained, exuding a formidable presence alongside a black light that drew many gazes.

In an instant, numerous cultivators focused their attention on the object in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand. It was a pitch-black scale, coursing with golden dao power, radiating celestial light and extraordinary power.

“What is that…?”

Many cultivators gasped, recognizing the scale’s rarity. This scale clearly belonged to a true immortal-level beast, a rarity even at the Ten Thousand Treasures Fair. Its presence suggested that Jiang Chengxuan had once slain such a beast, implying formidable strength and cultivation.

To kill a true immortal beast, one needed exceptional power, often requiring the combined efforts of several true immortals and meticulous planning.

“Is this… a reverse scale of a true immortal beast?” a cultivator nearby asked with a heated gaze, surrounded by a group holding various treasures.

“Yes,” Jiang Chengxuan confirmed, causing another wave of gasps and murmurs among the crowd.

“How do you plan to trade this item?” another eager cultivator asked, eyes burning with desire. A reverse scale from a true immortal beast was often more valuable than a true immortal-grade treasure, as obtaining one meant slaying the beast—a daunting task even for true immortals.

“The value of this item is well understood,” Jiang Chengxuan began calmly. “I am not greedy. I seek only three specific immortal materials in exchange.”

His words did not provoke any shock; instead, many cultivators nodded in agreement. Given the reverse scale’s rarity, Jiang Chengxuan’s request was quite reasonable.

“What immortal materials do you seek?” one cultivator at the forefront asked urgently, fearing a delay might cost them the opportunity.

“The first is the Floating Sand of the Buddha,” Jiang Chengxuan began, his voice calm and steady. “The second is the True Essence of the Myriad Stars. The third is the Nether Dao Profound Stone.”

As his voice echoed, many cultivators sighed inwardly, realizing Jiang Chengxuan was no fool. These materials were not easy to come by, often requiring sheer luck to obtain. The True Essence of the Myriad Stars, for instance, could only be found in a few celestial bodies out of millions. The Floating Sand of the Buddha and the Nether Dao Profound Stone were equally rare.

Gradually, the crowd fell silent, with many deciding to quietly observe, understanding the difficulty of acquiring all three materials.

Jiang Chengxuan remained unhurried, knowing that if this place didn’t have what he sought, he could search elsewhere within the Ten Thousand Treasures Fair. While rare, these materials were not impossible to find, periodically surfacing in the celestial domain.

“This friend, I have two of the items you seek,” a voice finally broke the silence after some time. A white-browed man in luxurious attire stepped forward, holding two radiant, celestial-light-emitting treasure boxes.

One contained the True Essence of the Myriad Stars, reflecting the cosmos within. The other held the Floating Sand of the Buddha, each grain holding a world’s shadow and a golden tower.

“True Essence of the Myriad Stars, Floating Sand of the Buddha…” the crowd murmured, eyes filled with envy.

However, after a moment’s thought, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head. “I need all three materials. I cannot make an exchange with just two. My apologies.”

The white-browed man’s expression tightened, while the surrounding cultivators felt a pang of sympathy.

“Hehe, I possess the Nether Dao Profound Stone…” another voice cut through, accompanied by a cold laugh. A twist of fate had occurred. All eyes turned to the speaker, including Jiang Chengxuan’s.

In this unexpected turn, all three materials Jiang Chengxuan sought had surfaced within a short span of time, a testament to the Ten Thousand Treasures Fair’s depth. The one with the Nether Dao Profound Stone, however, had another proposition.

“How about you trade those two treasures with me?” he suggested, eyeing the white-browed man. He intended to use the Floating Sand and True Essence to trade for the reverse scale himself.
