Chapter 1525: Chapter 782: Star Heaven Dao Sect_4
The enormity is incomparable, blocking the view far away, soaring into the clouds as if it directly connects to the outer space.
The mists around the mountain peak swarm about, much like a sheer layer of white gauze gently draped over. Midway up the mountain, there exist dense and sky-reaching forests where Chen Mobai feels even the entirety of Giant Tree Ridge could be placed within with room to spare.
What shocked him the most was at the mountain summit, which appeared as though a Great Divine Power Wielder had sliced off the top, leaving behind a vast and boundless platform.
Majestic and solemn stone-made halls spread from the mountain’s peak center outwards, and as they approached the brink of the summit where abyss beckoned, a towering colossal city wall curved into a circle, guarding all those within the stone city at the mountain’s top.
Within the stone city, at regular intervals, stone pillars etched with various star patterns stood erect – three hundred and sixty-five in total, forming a complete ground-based star map at the mountain’s top.
The highest seven stone halls, like seven brilliantly shining stars, twinkle with dazzling starlight even in broad daylight.
This must surely be the abode of the seven Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
“On ordinary days, only three Nascent Soul Cultivators are stationed at Star Pillar Mountain. With the Beidou Conference being held, I wonder if the other four have returned,” said True Person Mingwen as the bamboo raft flew towards the stone city atop the mountain.
Having followed Elder Muqin here numerous times, she was quite familiar with both the Star Heaven Dao Sect and the Beidou Conference.
For instance, the Great Elder of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, known as Elder Star Pole, reached Nascent Soul Complete a long time ago and is said to have always been seeking an opportunity for Divinity Transformation.
He even went beyond East Continent through Taixu Piaomiao Palace; his current status is unknown.
The youngest Nascent Soul Cultivator, honored as Star Fire, formed his Nascent Soul just sixty years ago. It is said that he has condensed a wisp of Star Divine Fire, one of the most powerful True Fires in the Tianhe Realm. Refined to its extremity, it could even transform into Immortal Fire, a formidable Divine Skill capable of granting Ascendance.
While the two were conversing, a bright silvery starlight had already flown out from the mountain’s peak and arrived in front of their bamboo raft.
“So it’s Daoist Mu Qin from Kong Sang Valley. It seems this time, from the East Barbarians, only you have come.”
The bright silver radiance dispersed, revealing a middle-aged man with white hair and beard, sporting a slightly plump figure.
Chen Mobai immediately recognized him as a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
“Greetings to Daoist Elder Xing Chen, it seems like you’re the one overseeing the Beidou Conference this time,” said Mu Qin with a calm voice, showing no trace of the usual frailty or age-weariness.
“Hahaha, my fellow Daoist, you’re mistaken. The Great Elder has returned this time, and I am merely helping with the errands,” Elder Xing Chen replied with a laugh, taking the invitation handed to him by Mu Qin and opened up a gateway of starlight above the mountain peak grand formation, inviting them to enter.
Throughout, he didn’t cast a single glance at either True Person Mingwen or Chen Mobai.
After the trio entered the Star Heaven Dao Sect, Elder Xing Chen vanished from sight.
“Sect Master Chen, my master and I are going to Black Stone Street to rent two cave dwellings. Would you like to join us?” asked True Person Mingwen.
Coming to the Beidou Conference, the Star Heaven Dao Sect would not arrange accommodations; perhaps they want the disciples from the lower sects to take this rare opportunity to make a good profit.
“I’ll look around first and will contact you later,” said Chen Mobai, intending to move freely. Mu Qin and his disciple had anticipated this; one needs verification to enter, but leaving requires none.
“Sect Master Chen, if you wish to leave with us, you can inform me,” True Person Mingwen offered a contact talisman. Chen Mobai nodded and then the three parted ways.
Before coming here, Chen Mobai had heard from Zhou Shengqing about the Beidou Conference.
This is considered a resource exhibition and sale event by the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
The precious resources collected throughout East Continent by the Starry Sky Commerce Guild every sixty years will be displayed for sale here.
The entire event will last for fortynine days.
Every seven days, the Star Heaven Dao Sect will put forth a supremely precious spiritual object for sale.
Among them will be the Three Lights Divine Water!
When Chen Mobai and his party arrived, there was still half a month until the official start of the Beidou Conference.
Generally speaking, apart from the people from the Holy Land Major Sects, most of those who received an invitation would arrive in advance.
This is because in addition to what’s offered for sale by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, they also need to exchange the resources they have on hand.
“Esteemed senior, do you need a guide? I am He Sui, an Inner Sect Disciple of Star Heaven Dao Sect. I am well-acquainted with every aspect of Stone City,” said a young man wearing a star-colored robe with a gentle face who walked over to Chen Mobai, who was standing on the street, lost in thought, and introduced himself very politely.
“What’s the price?”
Chen Mobai did indeed need a guide and couldn’t help but ask. Upon hearing the question, He Sui’s face brightened with joy as he held up a finger.
“One Top-grade Spirit Stone. During the Beidou Conference, I am at your service, at your behest at any time.”
That expensive?
After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but curse inwardly at the exorbitant prices of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
However, those who could attend the Beidou Conference would certainly not care about the loss of a Top-grade Spirit Stone.
He was no different.
So, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.
“Can it be exchanged for intermediary and Low-grade Spirit Stones?”
Chen Mobai asked. He Sui hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and Chen Mobai gave him one Intermediate-grade Spirit Stone as a deposit.
“I want to refine an Ancient Elixir Method. Please take me to the place where medicinal ingredients are sold and traded.”
“Senior, please follow me to Wood Stone Street,” said He Sui.
Upon hearing this, He Sui promptly led the way.
Before long, they arrived at a street filled with the scent of herbs. Walking into it, Chen Mobai found that both sides of the street were lined with a wide variety of different Metal Stone Medicinal Substances. There were herbal medicines with spiritual value as well, but they were not as predominant.
Upon inquiry, he learned that East Yu had many elixirs, but the main ingredients for the elixirs were mostly minerals, forming a unique part of the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s Alchemy System.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, then told He Sui to leave while he prepared to check out each store one by one.
However, He Sui indicated that he would wait at the entrance.
Chen Mobai thought he was worried about being cheated, so he did not say much, entering the first shop to start checking the list provided by Qing Nu using his Divine Sense.
In this shop, he found two types of auxiliary medicines he needed, both of Rank-2. He inquired about the prices, but he did not make a purchase right away.
Next, he visited a few more shops and indeed found another auxiliary medicine. The price differences weren’t significant, but every little saving counts.
“Do you know anyone who is familiar with the prices of these medicinal materials?”
Chen Mobai asked He Sui after walking out of the fifth shop.
“There is a senior sister, but it also requires the expenditure of Spirit Stones.”
After asking for the price, which was two Top-grade Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai thought it over and decided he could not afford to waste time here, so he agreed.
Before long, a female cultivator with ordinary features but an outstanding figure followed He Sui over. Her name was Lu Huixin.
After negotiating, Chen Mobai gave her a list and asked her to help look for the medicinal ingredients listed on it.
Then, Chen Mobai went towards the end of the street, where only barter trading was possible.
However, as soon as he entered, he encountered an unexpected person.
A cultivator with an aged face, slightly greenish-black eyes, and a faint aura, almost completely devoid of vitality.
Yan Shaoyin!
He didn’t die despite his Nascent Soul Formation failure?
