The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 1025 Yin Bone Netherfire, its power greatly increased

The grand gathering of the heavens coincides with the opening of the Netherworld Secret Realm, a spectacle that is truly a once-in-a-century event.

Naturally, this attracted martial arts masters and powerful cultivators from all over the world, who flocked to the area.

Of all these grand events, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the large-scale auction held in Wentian City.

This auction is a grand affair, sure to feature a dazzling array of treasures vying for attention.

It is the most grand event in recent times.

However, what Chen Ping'an valued more during this trip to Wentian was the series of exchange meetings that were organized before the auction, during the grand event of Wentian.

The so-called grand event and auction are mainly a gimmick to attract powerful cultivators and experts from all sides. Once these powerful individuals arrive, the smaller gatherings held under this backdrop are the real highlight.

The powerful figures from all sides come from different regions, each with their own foundation, experience, and insights. In such circumstances, they all meet, discuss and exchange ideas, and share what they have to offer. This is the essence that Chen Ping'an truly values.

With Bao Sha's experience and background, and through previous practical trials, even when facing the same situation, discussing and exchanging ideas, he would not reveal any flaws.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ping'an naturally felt no burden whatsoever.

Small trading sessions are the right way to go!

As for what level or stage of small meetings one can attend, that depends entirely on one's own abilities.

Some are just there to participate, while others are there to actually receive the goods.

Just as Chen Ping'an was focusing more on the trading conferences he would be attending frequently, the commerce in Wentian City gave him a new surprise.

"Wentian City is indeed rich in resources; even rare materials like Yin Wind Sand can be purchased there."

Looking at the jewel-sized, cold and azure Yin Wind Sand in his hand, Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up with joy.

"Langhuan Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a blessed land, renowned for its collection of treasures from all over the world. Even Wentian alone possesses such a rich foundation. I wonder what rare treasures await in the Qiongtian Treasure Pavilion, the blessed land within Langhuan!"

Chen Ping'an's face showed a hint of anticipation. His eyes narrowed, and he put away the Yin Wind Sand in his hand.

At this point, he had completed all the necessary preparations for the second stage of his Yin Bone Flame Technique.

He has recently made considerable progress in his research and understanding of the Yin Bone Netherfire. Now that he has all the necessary materials, he can naturally begin to attempt cultivation.

There are many rare and precious items in Langhuan Pavilion, but very few of them are useful to Chen Ping'an.

The main reason is that his cultivation method is unique, so he can't use many spiritual items and pills. Otherwise, even at his level, he would have a few things that he could use to enhance his own abilities and improve his cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that the Langhuan Pavilion contains a complete scroll of true martial arts techniques, but this item will not be traded or exhibited through normal channels. It will be formally presented as a valuable item at the upcoming Wentian Auction.

Chen Ping'an felt a little regretful about this.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

If True Skill Scrolls could be so easily purchased from ordinary treasure pavilions and trade channels, they wouldn't be so rare.

Even for martial arts masters, without a lineage, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to such a level.

After leaving Langhuan Pavilion, the transaction was complete.

This Yin Wind Sand was quite valuable, even for Chen Ping'an, it wasn't a small sum. However, fortunately, he had accumulated enough cash flow beforehand, so the transaction went smoothly.

In the past few days, he has taken a series of actions and purchased a lot of resources, such as cold water, poisonous substances, and spiritual herbs.

Most of the previous accumulated gains have been sold off, some to exchange for goods, and some to generate cash flow to enrich themselves.

During this time, he acted under a pseudonym without giving himself away. He also took the opportunity to inquire about information regarding the blood of demonic beasts.

To avoid making the purpose too obvious, some diplomatic techniques were involved, and some of the statements were pieced together from various sources.

As long as the other party doesn't share information, their purpose won't be clear for a while. Even if it is clear, there's a lot of extraneous information mixed in, making it extremely difficult to unravel the mystery.

Given the size of Wentian City, obtaining the blood of a Heavenly-grade demon beast is not difficult, and even the inner core of a transformed demon beast with a Heavenly-grade bloodline can be easily purchased.

After all, this place is home to various chambers of commerce and alliances, and it is also adjacent to the main vein of the Black Nether Mountains, so demonic beasts are not rare here.

This is also one of the unique advantages that Wentian City has as a major city in the northern border.

However, most of these are ordinary Heavenly Grade demonic beasts, and even the few exceptions are mostly of low to medium quality Heavenly Grade bloodlines.

Once it reaches the superior level, it becomes rare and precious.

Moreover, it was the top-tier Heavenly Grade bloodline that Chen Ping'an had anticipated.

From a potential perspective, a top-tier Heavenly Rank demonic beast bloodline, if given enough opportunities, has the chance to advance to the level of a Great Demon King, equivalent to a Great Celestial in human martial arts.

Even though most of them fail, generally speaking, there is a chance to at least obtain a demon king with combat power equivalent to a human celestial cultivator.

Among demonic beasts, those that have transformed into human form are generally called Demon Kings. However, within the Celestial Realm, the term Demon King is more commonly used to refer to demonic beasts with combat power equivalent to that of a Great Cultivator.

As for other transformed demonic beasts, they are mostly referred to as fourth-tier demonic beasts.

Such potential demonstrates the rarity and preciousness of top-tier bloodline demon beasts.

Even within Wentian City, it is an extremely rare existence.

Furthermore, what Chen Ping'an sought was not ordinary demon beast blood, but true blood that involved the very essence of demon beast bloodlines!

Under such circumstances, his schemes naturally ended in failure within just a few days.

However, despite the failure, Chen Ping'an still managed to glean a considerable amount of information from it.

It cannot be considered a complete loss.

"Should we really wait until the auction and try our luck? Or..."

Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered: "Are we really going to try our luck in the Netherworld Secret Realm?"

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, and he began to think deeply.

For him, the true blood of demonic beasts held extraordinary significance.

If success can be guaranteed, a little risk is not out of the question.

just

Chen Ping'an didn't think about it for long. After leaving Langhuan Pavilion, he didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to Langhuan Paradise.

Although both are businesses under the Five Families, they are still somewhat separated within Wentian City.

The reason for this lies in the different business models: one is keen on excitement, while the other advocates tranquility.

"The Five Families"

Chen Ping'an's thoughts shifted, and he thought of a woman.

Her hair was as black as ink, her crown as white as jade, and her skin as pale as ice, giving her a mysterious and otherworldly charm.

He seemed indifferent to everything, but he was chubby and had a bit of baby fat.

Chen Ping'an smiled, calmed his mind, returned to his cave, activated the restrictions, and sat cross-legged.

Although he had been busy in Wentian City these past few days, he had not neglected his cultivation.

"Now that I have the Yin Wind Sand, it's time to start trying out Netherfire cultivation."

"The foundation of Wentian is truly remarkable. Even at such a simple gathering, there are already many great cultivators present! With such a high level of gathering, there must be quite a few great cultivators of the same realm gathered in Wentian City this time."

Chen Ping'an moved with lightning speed, having just left a secluded meeting place for a private transaction.

This small meeting, though not of the highest caliber in Wentian City, was attended by a major overhaul, which was unexpected for Chen Ping'an.

This made his previous pretense of being at the half-step major repair stage seem somewhat superfluous. Superfluous as it may be, however…

The gains, however, were substantial.

Chen Ping'an opened his palm, and amidst the swirling spiritual light, a strange black flower resembling a datura flower appeared, adorned with intricate stem patterns.

"Black Datura Flower!"

A glint of light appeared in Chen Ping'an's eyes, and he was quite pleased.

Black Mandarin Flower is a true potent poison, a rare main ingredient for many fourth-tier poison cultivators. Its toxicity is extremely high; even a half-step Grand Cultivator would find it very difficult to resist if accidentally poisoned.

His fundraising for this transaction signifies that his vision for the wondrous Deep Sea Pearl will be further enhanced.

In recent days, he has prepared a considerable amount of materials for refining the Hundred Poisons Water. On this basis, he has added the Black Mandarin Flower, and its power will far exceed expectations.

After returning from the trading meeting, Chen Ping'an sensed his surroundings with his divine sense and, after confirming that there were no prying eyes, rushed back to Langhuan Paradise without stopping.

After activating the restriction and using the Yin Wind Pearl to isolate the area, he took out all the poisonous herbs he had previously collected.

In a flash of inspiration, poisonous plants and herbs were densely packed together.

This quantity far exceeds his previous reserves in Bicang Prefecture.

"It's time to begin!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, and without a moment's rest, he began refining the Hundred Poisons Water.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Moreover, this wasn't the first or second time Chen Ping'an had refined the Hundred Poisons Water. With the assistance of the Great Refiner's Divine Soul, he successfully refined a batch of the Hundred Poisons Water.

"continue!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He then devoted himself to refining the next batch of Hundred Poisons Water.

He has a large stockpile of refining materials, so it's unrealistic to expect him to succeed in refining everything in one go.

After refining several batches of the Hundred Poisons Water, Chen Ping'an used the opportunity to recuperate and prepare for other matters.

Whether it's studying the Yin Bone Netherfire and trying to cultivate it, practicing techniques and accumulating experience, or perfecting forbidden techniques and enhancing his foundation, Chen Ping'an still has a lot to do this time in Wentian.

For several days in a row, Chen Ping'an spent his time in a fulfilling and well-organized cultivation practice.

I thought I could refine the Hundred Poisons Water in one go, and then add it to the Deep Sea Pearl with cold water.

Unexpectedly, he was determined to take his research on Yin Bone and Netherfire to the next level.

Whoosh!

A faint flame appeared out of thin air in Chen Ping'an's palm.

It lacks the blinding light of ordinary flames, instead possessing a profound and utterly eerie stillness that sends chills down one's spine even with the naked eye.

It floated silently in Chen Ping'an's palm, without a trace of heat leaking out. The edge of the flame rippled slowly like water, as if it were formed by countless dark winds, exuding a chilling and profound aura.

Yin Bone Ghost Fire!

Although the bone flame was small, it was truly formed.

hum~

A glint of light flashed in Chen Ping'an's eyes, and the ghostly flame in his hand dissipated.

Yin Bone Inflame Technique, Stage Two: Netherfire, complete!

"call!"

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of melancholy in his gaze; instead, there was an indescribable, strange clarity.

"The Azure Sun Blood Refinement, with its extraordinary bloodline endowment, is truly remarkable, and it has invisibly reduced the difficulty of cultivating Bone Flame."

This attempt failed only once; the second time, it succeeded immediately.

The cultivation of Yin Bone Netherfire has been successfully completed, meaning that the most difficult hurdle has been overcome. The next step is to continuously consolidate and strengthen it.

With his current Netherfire Divine Power, although he has only just entered the realm, his divine soul foundation and fire control ability make his power even more exaggerated than that of the White Bone Grandmaster of the past.

"With this ghostly fire, even veteran cultivators can easily restrain it! With the help of other methods, trapping and killing it will not be difficult!"

Chen Ping'an felt a surge of pride, his eyes gleaming with divine light.

Both are major cultivators, but their methods differ, making it extremely difficult to trap and kill them.

But with his current abilities, if the other party has no way to break the deadlock, they are bound to become easy prey.

This level of difficulty far surpasses anything that can be described as simply defeating or crushing someone.

"After these days of planning and preparation, the amount of cold water is barely enough. The materials for the Hundred Poisons Water are plentiful. We have been refining it for the past few days and have already gathered quite a lot. We will continue to refine and plan, and we should be able to add it to the rare item to unleash its power."

In addition, the paralyzing toxicity of the black datura flower, when combined with these ingredients, can maximize its power.

Now it seems that the amount of Ice Soul Cold Water is still quite short!

Outside the blessed land of Langhuan, Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Everything else is negotiable, but the Ice Soul Cold Water is extremely rare. Even in Wentian City, the share available through official channels is limited.

Although he has purchased quite a few items, they are still far from meeting his expectations for what he needs and how he can use them.

"Although there's still some progress, the overall progress is much better than before. It's only a matter of time before it's initially implemented."

I hope this short meeting will yield some additional gains.

Chen Ping'an was dressed in a light blue robe, exuding a refined and approachable air, with a hint of anticipation on his handsome face.

Today's meeting is different from the previous ones. This meeting is a trade fair jointly organized by the local business alliance in Wentian City.

It was a truly top-level trading conference during a momentous occasion.

He had previously made a large purchase at Zhenlingfang and was selected as a VIP of Zhenlingfang, which allowed him to participate in this small meeting.

Inside Wentian City, the city was bustling with activity. As Chen Ping'an passed by a building, his gaze inadvertently fell upon it.

"This should be the place. After the meeting, we'll leave a mark to contact Luo Hou!"

This grand event in Wentian is about to begin, and the Netherworld is about to open; presumably, the other party has already arrived in Wentian.

Previously, the Formless Freedom Technique was obtained through a transaction with this other party. One of the reasons he came to Wentian was for the follow-up of the technique.

If we can get in touch with them, there must be a plan.

Chen Ping'an's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had already stepped into the air and appeared in front of a magnificent building.

Huanglong Tower!

Businesses under the Wentian Huang family!

"This is it!"

Chen Ping'an flashed and entered the building.

The meeting and transaction took place atop the Yellow Dragon Tower, amidst the vast expanse of clouds. (End of Chapter)
