Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 283: Chapter 140 Ziwei Star Number_1

Even Hoe Changzai, who was standing by, looked astonished when he saw Shen Yuan casually pull out the ancient profound ice.

Although the nature of ancient profound ice is merely Mid-Rank Heaven and Earth Qi of Late Winter, its value far surpasses that of ordinary Heaven and Earth Qi.

The phrase ‘locking lifespan, prolonging vitality’ is enough to stir the heart of the Void Refining True Monarch.

In this era of prosperous cultivation, any treasure related to lifespan is the most precious. Even a Lifespan Extension Pill which can extend life by three years, is worth more than a spirit treasure.

Though ancient profound ice cannot directly prolong lifespan, its power to freeze time can, in many cases, be even more valuable than life-prolonging Dan Medicines.

For example, if a cultivator is seriously injured, using ancient profound ice to freeze him could buy time for treatment.

Or if an old True Being from a sect is near the end of his lifespan, using ancient profound ice to freeze him can help preserve the sect’s heritage in a special way until the next Spirit Refining True Being emerges.

The only regret is that ancient profound ice, after all, is just Mid-Rank Heaven and Earth Qi. Its ability to freeze lifespan can only be applied to realms below the Spirit Refining stage.

Facing Returning Void Great True Human who have stepped into the Return-to-Void Realm and mastered the Power of Heaven and Earth, the ancient profound ice can’t play its full value.

Even so, it cannot conceal the preciousness of ancient profound ice.

Although ancient profound ice cannot be compared with Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, it is more than enough to exchange for four Earthly Destroyer Divine Power cultivation methods that have been claimed.

For a time, quite a few people on the third floor of the All-Things Trade Association moved closer to this area, and even two elder Spirit Refining True Beings showed interest in trading with Shen Yuan.

At this moment, Manager Wan finally snapped out of his shock, looking at the high-level cultivators and hastily said:

“The honored guest has decided to trade this treasure with our All-Things Trade Association, so I request everyone to not interfere with the transaction.”

With these words from Manager Wan, the many cultivators stopped in their tracks. Even the two Spirit Refining True Beings, after some hesitation, nodded and gave up their thoughts.

Being Spirit Refining True Beings, they certainly do not need to pay attention to Manager Wan, who is just a Great Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm. However, Manager Wan represents the entire All-Things Trade Association.

Being in the All-Things Trade Association, they should abide by the trade rules of the Association. A piece of ancient profound ice is not worth the risk of breaking the rules.

Seeing this scene, Manager Wan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ancient profound ice in Shen Yuan’s hand with slightly trembling eyes and said in a low voice:

“May I inspect it?”

Shen Yuan casually handed the ancient profound ice in his hand to Manager Wan, not caring at all about this life-extending treasure in the eyes of outsiders.

Manager Wan tried to take the ancient profound ice, but the moment he touched it, frost began to spread from his palm towards his arm.

Filled with horror, Manager Wan quickly channeled his mana to resist the frost, barely managing to take the priceless ancient profound ice.

This is just the normal state of ancient profound ice, and it has not stimulated the effect brought by the Late Winter Qi.

Once in its activated state, the freezing cold can easily swallow all life, and even Manager Wan, who has reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, can’t resist the frost of the profound ice.

Manager Wan had such a difficult time holding the ancient profound ice, which contrasted sharply with Shen Yuan’s light and effortless movements. Manager Wan couldn’t help but admire Shen Yuan’s outstanding abilities.

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Manager Wan squeezed a treasure identification spell, and began to identify the object before him.

When the spirit light in his Spirit Eye recognized the Late Winter Qi within the ancient profound ice, Manager Wan finally confirmed that this piece of ice crystal was the legendary ancient profound ice.

He wiped the small beads of sweat from his forehead, smiled at Shen Yuan and said:

“Such a rare treasure is hard to find. This is my first time identifying such a precious item, thank you for your patience.”

Shen Yuan did not mind the waiting time.

More than that, he was curious about the treasure appraisal spell cast by Manager Wan.

But as this kind of treasure appraisal method must be the fundamental heritage of the All-Things Trade Association, raising it rashly might offend the other party. Therefore, he chose not to mention it.

Shen Yuan tapped lightly on the counter with his index finger and casually said, “Now that the appraisal result is out, Manager Wan, please quote a price.”

Manager Wan cradled the ancient profound ice in his hands and spoke earnestly:

“This piece of ice crystal is indeed the legendary ancient profound ice. It is said to only occur in the Taiyin Cold Palace, and it can freeze cultivators below the level of Spirit Refining True Being to slow down the consumption of lifespan. Its value far exceeds that of other Mid-Rank Heaven and Earth Qi.

The ancient profound ice can be used for a very long time. If assisted by other high-grade ice-element spirit objects, it’s not impossible to extend it for tens of thousands of years.”

After a pause, Manager Wan suddenly changed the topic and said:

“However, the ancient profound ice cannot directly increase lifespan, and once frozen in ancient profound ice, consciousness falls into stagnation, and it takes someone to actively thaw the ice before it can come out.

Moreover, the vast majority of people don’t need the ancient profound ice to extend a long period of time. Only in certain special occasions can the full effect of the ancient profound ice be utilized.

Therefore, the value of the ancient profound ice may be reduced to a certain extent.”

Shen Yuan knew in his heart that Manager Wan’s words were not entirely about underpricing, but were actual limitations of the ancient profound ice.

However, with the arrival of the Great Schism decades later, and after the tide of Spirit Energy was initiated by the groups of immortals and gods, the value of ancient profound ice would undergo earth-shaking changes.
