362: Marriage Rope

“These three treasures are named the Blood Yin Divine Slaughter, the Profound Nether Armor, and the Treasure-Passing Spirit Pagoda.

I obtained them after slaying a powerful Mid-stage Golden Immortal enemy.

This Blood Yin Divine Slaughter has the effect of corrupting the Immortal bodies and cultivation of others.

The Profound Nether Armor is a fifth-grade Immortal Artifact that can condense Profound Nether Immortal Astral to resist attacks from Golden Immortal powerhouses; even a full-strength strike from a Late-stage Golden Immortal would find it difficult to break through the Immortal Astral.

The Treasure-Passing Spirit Pagoda is a sixth-grade immortal artifact used to suppress the spiritual resonance of treasures; it can even suppress a fourth-grade Immortal Artifact for a brief moment.

For these three treasures, I only wish to exchange them for immortal jade. They will go to the highest bidder.”

Su Yu walked to the center of the hall and, with a wave of his hand, three treasures emitting flowing light flew out from him and hovered in mid-air.

These three treasures were all obtained after he killed Black Five of the Nixian Cult. Their value wasn't particularly high, but the three of them could still fetch over a million immortal jade.

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat puzzled that Su Yu was exchanging them for immortal jade instead of other treasures. However, on second thought, with Su Yu's status, what treasure did he not have?

immortal jade was a hard currency; whether it was absorbed to increase one's cultivation or used to purchase Immortal Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, it was simple and direct.

“I’ll take this Blood Yin Divine Slaughter. I’m willing to offer 300,000 immortal jade.”

A woman dressed in white spoke up to place her bid.

She cultivated the Great Dao of Yin Slaughter, which was one of the Acquired Great Daos derived from the Innate Great Dao of Yin and Yang. This Blood Yin Divine Slaughter would be of significant benefit to her cultivation.

This item wasn't considered a treasure to others, so no one else was interested. Thus, the woman in white exchanged 300,000 immortal jade for it.

Next was the Profound Nether Armor.

This item was a fifth-grade Immortal Artifact and a defensive one at that. According to market prices, it could sell for over 700,000 immortal jade.

With the current Realm of Su Yu's Physical Body, he could withstand attacks from fourth-grade Immortal Artifacts, making this item somewhat redundant for him.

After several rounds of bidding, this treasure was exchanged by a burly man in black.

The last item, the sixth-grade immortal artifact Treasure-Passing Spirit Pagoda, only fetched 170,000 immortal jade.

While it seemed profound, capable of suppressing Immortal Artifacts and Spirit Treasures, it was actually quite niche. A Mid-stage Golden Immortal could knock it back to its original form with a single Immortal art.

The three treasures combined for just over 1.2 million immortal jade.

However, Su Yu wore a satisfied smile.

If he had sold them to those shops, the price would have been at least ten to twenty percent lower.

Clearly, these people were also subtly extending their goodwill to him.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Although Su Yu currently supported Murong Fuluo, it didn't mean he would always stand on his side. Perhaps one day, because of this small gesture of goodwill, they might be able to win Su Yu over!

Now, only Murong Weiwei remained who had not yet conducted an exchange.

After Su Yu returned to his seat, Murong Weiwei passed by him and walked to the center of the hall.

She had only recently entered the Golden Immortal Realm, so she didn't have any treasures particularly worth exchanging.

However, she still produced a treasure that slightly surprised everyone.

“This item is the Marriage String. It contains the power of the Acquired Great Dao of Marriage and a portion of the power of the Innate Great Dao of Karma.

It is a sixth-grade immortal artifact.

This item has two abilities. The first is to allow lovers to finally be together.

As long as you place this on the one you love, if they love you in return, your marriage will be predestined by heaven, and none but those at or above the level of a Dao Venerable can separate you!

The second is that a man and a woman can hold hands and perform a Marriage Immortal Art. The power of this Immortal art depends on the love between the two.

If their love is deep and enduring, even an Early Golden Immortal might be able to defeat a Mid-stage Golden Immortal!

I only wish to use this treasure to exchange for a bottle of treasure that can improve the cultivation of an Early Golden Immortal.”

Murong Weiwei pulled a red string from her sleeve and spoke with her crimson lips slightly parted.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.

A sixth-grade immortal artifact containing the Great Dao of Marriage and the Great Dao of Karma—though its abilities were singular, it was quite good for those with a Dao Companion.

Especially the combined Marriage Immortal Art that a man and woman could perform.

It could actually kill enemies across a minor Realm.

The gap between Golden Immortals was like a chasm; an Early Golden Immortal facing a Mid-stage Golden Immortal would usually only be able to flee.

After all, the difference was no longer just the depth of Immortal power, but also the Power of the Great Dao, cultivation, the great dao celebration cloud, and so on.

“Cousin Weiwei, I’ll take this item. I have a bottle of Spirit-Benefiting Immortal Pills here that can increase the cultivation of an Early Golden Immortal by ten thousand years.”

A rather thin man produced a bottle of Medicinal Pills and spoke.

Murong Fuluo was also interested in this Marriage String. Right after the thin man finished speaking, he said, “Sister, I want this treasure too. I’ll offer two bottles of Immortal Dragon Pills!”

“Although Immortal Dragon Pills aren't as good as Spirit-Benefiting Immortal Pills, they can briefly enhance one's comprehension. The value of two bottles exceeds that of a single bottle of Spirit-Benefiting Immortal Pills.”

“Cousin Kanli, don’t compete with me for this!”

Murong Fuluo waved his hand, and two bottles of Immortal Pills also hovered in mid-air.

He had been married for many years. Although it was an alliance with another Dao Lord's Immortal clan, over the years, Murong Fuluo and his Dao Companion had long since developed feelings for each other.

If he could obtain this treasure to give to his wife, it would surely smooth over the relationship between them.

“Since you want it, Brother, then I won't compete with you.”

Murong Kanli laughed heartily and ceased his bidding for the item.

However, Su Yu was also somewhat interested in this thing.

“Brother Murong, I am also interested in this Marriage String. I am willing to exchange a bottle of Harmonious Light Immortal Pills for it. I wonder what Young Miss Murong thinks?”

Su Yu stood up, cupped his hands toward Murong Fuluo, and produced a bottle of Immortal Pills before turning to Murong Weiwei with a smile.

Murong Weiwei pondered for a moment. While Spirit-Benefiting Immortal Pills and Immortal Dragon Pills were quite useful for advancing one's cultivation...

These Harmonious Light Immortal Pills were even more effective for cultivating the Power of the Great Dao.

“In that case, I shall exchange with Fellow Daoist Su!”

A look of determination flashed in Murong Weiwei's eyes, and she used her Immortal power to send the Marriage String into Su Yu's hands.

Seeing this, Su Yu also looked delighted and sent the Harmonious Light Immortal Pills to Murong Weiwei.

After he obtained the Marriage String, Murong Fuluo sent a teasing transmission to Su Yu: “Brother Su, competing with me for this treasure... could it be that you’ve taken a liking to my little sister?”

“If Brother Su were to become Dao Companions with my sister, the two of you would be a perfect match—it would truly be a beautiful tale in the Immortal Realm!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu only smiled faintly. “Brother Murong, please don't tease me. I have another use for this Marriage String.”

Su Yu didn't want this Immortal Artifact to form a marriage bond with someone else.

It was purely because this Immortal Artifact contained a portion of the Power of the Great Dao of Karma.

One must know that the Great Dao of Karma was one of the more difficult ones to comprehend among the Innate Great Daos.

Su Yu simply wanted to refine the power of Karma within the Marriage String to use for comprehension.

After all, the System only had treasures that increased the Power of the Great Dao; it was impossible to buy a Great Dao directly, and they were incredibly expensive.

No matter the time—past, present, or future—the Dao was unique.

Since the Great Dao of Karma was currently vacant, if he couldn't make progress with the Great Dao of Slaughter, he could instead merge with the Dao of Karma.

In the System Mall, there were over three thousand positions for Dao Ancestor, even including those who achieved the Dao Ancestor position through the eight hundred unorthodox paths.

However, the Great Daos that had already been merged with were in a grayed-out state.

Currently, the only vacant Innate Dao Ancestor positions were about twenty Innate Great Daos, such as Karma, Space, Yin and Yang, Chaos, and Nirvana.

Setting aside some of the other Innate Great Daos that weren't considered particularly strong...

The ones truly suitable for Su Yu were Karma and Nirvana.

He was skilled in the Art of Heavenly Secrets, and the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets was one of the Acquired Great Daos derived from Innate Karma.

Therefore, there would be no issue with him switching to the Great Dao of Karma.

As for the Great Dao of Nirvana, its attributes were similar to the Great Dao of Slaughter, so there would be no problem cultivating it either.

However, the Great Dao of Slaughter was an Innate Great Dao after all. Cultivating another Great Dao of Nirvana would be a case of biting off more than he could chew; more Great Daos didn't necessarily mean more strength.

Conflicts between Great Daos could lead to the collapse of one's own Dao, causing the Immortal body to be obliterated.

Similar Daos could also lead to fusion, which in turn could cause repulsion and make the Dao unstable.

Only completely unrelated Innate Great Daos, or Acquired Great Daos that were close to an Innate Great Dao, were suitable for cultivation.

For example, the two Great Daos of Thunder and Sword that Su Yu also cultivated.
