Elder Bai furrowed his brow after listening and said,
"The cultivation technique you've been practicing?"
Zhang Family Patriarch nodded and replied,
"Yes, that's the one I've practiced."
"To exchange that technique for just these two pieces of elixir dicine seems too much of a loss," Elder Bai said, his tone carrying a hint of regret.
Zhang Family Patriarch shook his head,
"It's just an incomplete technique; what's there to regret?"
"Besides, with such obvious drawbacks, it's not guaranteed that others would even value it," he added.
Elder Bai looked at Zhang Family Patriarch and said earnestly,
"However, I do admire you. Back then, you dared to venture into the Demonic Monster Sea alone and even obtained that legendary technique."
Zhang Family Patriarch let out a chuckle and replied,
"Heh heh..."
"Being rely a cultivator with a Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root, if I hadn't fought with all I had, I would probably have turned into a pile of dry bones by now."
Despite saying this, Elder Bai also deeply agreed with Zhang Family Patriarch's words and nodded seriously in acknowledgnt.
The deeds of Zhang Family Patriarch were well-known to many.
Although he had the talent of a Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root, he was daring and resolute, possessing an unyielding spirit.
He even ventured alone into the perilous Demonic Monster Sea, a place where demon cultivators and beast cultivators were nurous.
A single look of displeasure could provoke a fight; unlike Fang Market, where various rules forbade reckless action.
In many parts of the Demonic Monster Sea, the law of the jungle prevailed, where one could lose their life at any mont even on the streets, especially lower-ranking cultivators who struggled to survive there.
Zhang Family Patriarch was only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage at the ti.
Seeing little hope for advancing to the Golden Core Stage, he resolutely entered the Demonic Monster Sea in search of opportunities.
Although the Demonic Monster Sea was extrely dangerous, it held many chances for fortune.
Zhang Family Patriarch was lucky. During an exploration of ancient ruins, he acquired the cultivation technique he now practiced—the Immortal Five Elents Art.
Furthermore, using the various resources he obtained through his adventures, he exchanged for several Cultivation True Elixirs, which allowed him to break through to the Golden Core Stage and beco a Golden Core Immortal.
According to rumors, the Immortal Five Elents Art was created by a cultivator with a Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root and was best suited for cultivators who possessed a mixed spiritual root of this kind.
There were even rumors that this person relied on his own technique to beco greatly powerful, ascending to immortality in the process.
However...
Because this event was so ancient, it was beyond verification. Yet, the fa of the Immortal Five Elents Art continued to be passed down.
Periodically, there would be cultivators with a Five Elents Mixed Spirit Root who would rise to fa for a ti by relying on this technique.
Nevertheless, this kind of fa was rely enough to astound people, ultimately unable to compare with the gifted talents of those with a heavenly spiritual root.
But even so, the Immortal Five Elents Art remained an incredibly rare and peerless technique.
After acquiring the Immortal Five Elents Art, Zhang Family Patriarch road the Demonic Monster Sea for several decades before returning to the Nanming Domain.
When he ca back, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core Stage.
Many of those who had been more talented than him had not broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and so had even fallen.
Those who had once mocked him, upon seeing his return as an accomplished Golden Core cultivator, felt utterly ashad, and many hastily ca to apologize to him.
But Zhang Family Patriarch was indifferent to all this, dismissing it with a smile.
After all, even among his forr enemies, only a few had reached the Golden Core Stage and were on the sa level as him, so naturally, he would not bother with them.
So who cared a lot about their reputation moved away from the Fang Market overnight.
The na Zhang Chenfan thus spread among these people, many of whom believed that he must have used a Defying Fate Elixir to achieve his current status.
In reality, that was not the case...
He had never taken any so-called Defiance of Fate Pill, it was solely through the Celestial Way Five Elents Decision, coupled with an indomitable spirit, that he successfully overca the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Golden Core Stage.
Now, in order to prolong his own life, he had no choice but to pass on this cultivation technique.
However...
This technique had one flaw, and that was that those without Five Elents Mixed Spirit Roots would find their cultivation progress slow.
If not for this flaw, this technique would probably have been snatched away by those top sects long ago.

Elder Bai now asked,
"I rember that you obtained the first four volus of that technique. With those four volus, you can cultivate up to the Nascent Soul Stage. Are you planning to hand over the entire technique?"
"How could that be possible?"
"At most, I can only offer the first three volus. The cultivation technique for the Nascent Soul Stage is too precious. For this trade, just the first three volus will do; they can cultivate up to the peak of the Golden Core Stage, which is enough," said the Zhang Family Patriarch.
"Indeed, trading two Pure Accumulation Pills for a Golden Core Stage cultivation technique is a deal that doesn't incur losses."
"Despite being a manager at Yuebaolou, I still don't have access to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation technique. To obtain a technique for that stage, my contributions are far from sufficient," Elder Bai nodded.
Yuebaolou was supported by a powerful backing, and the cultivation technique practiced by Elder Bai was provided by that backing.
Moreover, Elder Bai's status within that power was akin to that of an elder presiding over a region.
But even so...
He still did not possess the subsequent Nascent Soul Stage cultivation technique.
To acquire the subsequent technique, he would have to continue contributing to the power, and only after accumulating enough contributions could he exchange for the subsequent Nascent Soul cultivation technique.
......
At that mont, the Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly asked,
"Do you have any guesses about the identity of that pill seller?"
Elder Bai pondered for a mont before speaking,
"Regarding the identity of the pill seller, I do have a guess. If I'm not mistaken, he should have ties to the recently erged Elixir Valley."
"Apart from Elixir Valley, I can't think of any other power that could produce so many Pure Accumulation Pills in such a short ti."
"Who cares which power it is? As long as the Pure Accumulation Pills aren't fake, that's all that matters."
"Elder Bai speaks the truth," the Zhang Family Patriarch interjected.
"Alright then, let's settle it at that."
"Tomorrow, I'll make arrangents for both parties to et. If he agrees, then it's a joyful outco for all."
"But if he does not agree, then I'll have to ask you, Elder Zhang, to think of another strategy."
Elder Bai helplessly spread his hands, then added,
"After all, no matter how you look at it, he is a valued guest of Yuebaolou, and I cannot let anything happen to him."
"You understand…"
"Understood, understood…"
The Zhang Family Patriarch responded with a laugh.
......
Early the next morning, Huang Qingling went out of her way to give Lin Jing a heads-up before heading to the auction venue.
Not long after Huang Qingling had left,
Lin Jing also disguised himself once again, adopting the appearance of the bearded man from the previous day, and made his way to the auction venue.
Last night, he had intended to refine another Pure Accumulation Pill, but despite being busy the entire night, he still failed to produce one.
Nevertheless, Lin Jing was not discouraged. It was normal for the pill not to materialize.
