130: Immortal Bronze

"Today's Intel (red): Feng Xihe of the Central State Phoenix Clan went to Lingxiao Sect and defeated Grand Elder Yue Yunshan. Feng Xihe took Ji Yao to Central State."

Jiang Yunfan, who was on his way to Tianyong City, received the System's intel.

Someone from the Phoenix Clan had taken Ji Yao away.

"There's actually a Phoenix Clan descendant in Central State? How did this Feng Xihe know about Ji Yao's existence?"

Jiang Yunfan was extremely puzzled.

He wasn't in a hurry.

Because Ji Yao was not in danger.

Could it be the machinations of fate?

"System, how did this Feng Xihe know about Ji Yao?"

"Today's Intel (red): The Phoenix Clan obtained the Heavenly Secret Master. Feng Xihe used a tianji token to go to Tianji Sect and found the Heavenly Secret Master to deduce the whereabouts of the Phoenix Clan's Sacred Artifact, the phoenix feather. From the Heavenly Secret Master's words, she learned of Ji Yao's existence."

Jiang Yunfan didn't expect that Tianji Sect also had a Heavenly Secret Master; what a coincidence.

It seemed Ji Yao being taken away was predetermined fate.

As long as Ji Yao was not in danger, he was at ease.

He would go to Central State to find her after a while.

The Phoenix Clan was, after all, an ancient clan; even if it had declined, its heritage remained. Ji Yao's Bloodline regression meant she would definitely receive strong cultivation within the Phoenix Clan, which was a great Opportunity for her.

Soon after.

Jiang Yunfan arrived at Tianyong City.

Tianyong City was an ancient city in Southern State, teeming with powerful cultivators.

He didn't wander around but found a Stone Workshop.

Many people surrounded the Stone Workshop; most were there to watch the excitement, with only a few gambling on stones.

"I got something, I got something!"

An excited voice came through.

Someone had cut open a piece of green copper.

"All that excitement for nothing, it's just a piece of green copper."

Jiang Yunfan saw the green copper that had been cut open. If not for the System's intel, he wouldn't have known that this green copper was an immortal material, Immortal Copper.

He found the person who had cut out the green copper. "I am an Artifact Refiner. I'll buy this green copper for fifty thousand Spirit Stones. You won't lose out."

He didn't offer a high price to avoid arousing suspicion.

Upon hearing that someone wanted to buy the green copper, Wang Lin was overjoyed. "Alright, I'll sell it to you for fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

Just as Jiang Yunfan was about to take out Spirit Stones to buy the green copper, a voice came, "I'll offer one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Jiang Yunfan looked over and saw that the speaker was a Man in Purple Robes with an extraordinary demeanor. He instantly saw through the other party's Cultivation Level: Early Stage Heavenly Human Realm, the same Realm as him.

Could this guy have recognized this Immortal Copper?

"I'll offer one hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

"Three hundred thousand."

Ouyang Mingri looked at Jiang Yunfan and said, "I am Ouyang Mingri, a sixth-grade Artifact Refiner. This green copper is an excellent Artifact Refining Material. Only in the hands of an Artifact Refiner can it unleash its true value. I hope you can be generous, brother."

Jiang Yunfan didn't back down. "I'm sorry, I'm also an Artifact Refiner. I think the highest bidder should get it! I'll offer one million Spirit Stones."

Ouyang Mingri snorted coldly. Someone dared to disrespect him, a sixth-grade Artifact Refiner. He couldn't keep his Face. "I'll offer two million Spirit Stones."

Two million.

Wang Lin was overjoyed. He had thought he had cut out a useless piece of green copper, but he didn't expect it to attract two Artifact Refiners to compete for it, directly raising the price to two million. He had made a huge profit.

"Is this green copper some rare treasure? Otherwise, why would these two Artifact Refiners bid such high prices?"

"Didn't you see that these two Artifact Refiners didn't bid high before? It's just a fight out of pique."

No one still believed the green copper was a treasure.

"I'll offer ten million."

Jiang Yunfan directly raised the price to ten million. He said coldly, "Comparing Spirit Stones with me? I lack everything but Spirit Stones."

Ouyang Mingri's expression was extremely ugly. He didn't expect this person to directly raise the price to ten million. Although he wasn't short on Spirit Stones, spending ten million on a piece of green copper wasn't worth it.

The reason he competed for it was simply because he felt this green copper was unusual and wanted to buy it at a low price to study it. Who knew he would encounter a madman who would bid ten million just to compete with him for this green copper.

He snorted coldly, telling him to wait and see.

He turned and left. He definitely had to regain this Face.

Wang Lin was stunned by the ten million Spirit Stones.

He had never possessed so many Spirit Stones.

Happiness came too suddenly.

"Open your storage ring."

Wang Lin quickly opened his storage ring, and Spirit Stones flew into it. Seeing so many Spirit Stones, he was incredibly excited.

After paying ten million Spirit Stones, Jiang Yunfan put the green copper into his storage ring.

When he became a Great Emperor in the future, he would use this Immortal Copper to forge an Emperor Weapon.

This small amount of Immortal Copper was certainly not enough; he would slowly accumulate more in the future, little by little.

Jiang Yunfan walked into the Stone Workshop and began to select source stones. He found the source stone that sealed the Archaic Emperor Butterfly egg. This source stone was placed in the most conspicuous spot in the Stone Workshop, priced at fifty million Spirit Stones.

The Workshop Master walked over. "Young Master, have you taken a fancy to this source stone?"

"Although this source stone is a bit expensive, it's highly likely to contain a great treasure."

Jiang Yunfan said, "Is that so? Then I'll take a gamble and see what treasure this fifty-million Spirit Stone source stone can yield."

The Workshop Master was overjoyed. This source stone was finally sold.

Jiang Yunfan paid fifty million Spirit Stones to the Workshop Master, who immediately called for a stone-cutting master to cut the stone.

"He dares to buy this fifty-million-valued source stone? This is a huge gamble! If it's empty, he'll lose a fortune."

"He's an Artifact Refiner. Fifty million Spirit Stones is an astonishing number for others, but for an Artifact Refiner, it's nothing. Refining a few Spiritual Artifacts can sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones."

Everyone's attention was focused on the fifty-million Spirit Stone source stone.

As the source stone was continuously cut open, there was no sign of any treasure.

"It seems to be empty."

Everyone thought it was empty, but Jiang Yunfan remained calm and composed.

The Workshop Master glanced at Jiang Yunfan and, seeing his composure, couldn't help but admire him, knowing he was no ordinary person. If an ordinary person spent fifty million on an empty source stone, they would surely be heartbroken.

As the source stone was continuously cut open, a cocoon appeared.

"It's open!"

"What is this?"

"It looks like an egg."

"It's not an egg, it's a cocoon. I've seen Heavenly Silkworm cocoons, and this one is exactly the same."

"Could this be a Heavenly Silkworm cocoon? This is too unlucky. Fifty million Spirit Stones just for this thing. A huge loss."

These people were unknowledgeable, mistaking the Archaic Emperor Butterfly egg for a Heavenly Silkworm cocoon.

Just as Jiang Yunfan was about to put away the Archaic Emperor Butterfly egg, a crack appeared in the egg.

Jiang Yunfan was startled. The Archaic Emperor Butterfly was about to emerge from its cocoon.

"Today's Intel (orange): The Archaic Emperor Butterfly is about to emerge from its cocoon. If the Host feeds it his essence blood, the Archaic Emperor Butterfly will recognize him as its master."

"Today's Intel (red): The Archaic Emperor Butterfly has appeared. A Heavenly Human Peak Realm Cultivation Level powerhouse will seize the Opportunity to snatch the Archaic Emperor Butterfly."
