In the Immortal Sect Market City, established in the central area of the Immortal Sect region covering a radius of 800,000 miles, it was located within a valley surrounded by peaks on three sides, making it three times larger than the Inner Sect Market City.
In the Immortal Sect Market City, there were two major auction houses: Huangfu Headquarters and Treasure Gathering Auction House.
As for the Huangfu Headquarters, it was directly managed by the sovereign, and this was well-known to everyone.
The Huangfu Headquarters had eighteen floors, soaring to a height of a thousand zhang, and was extremely grand.
At this moment, in a pavilion on the eighteenth floor, Tan Yun, dressed in Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, was discussing matters with Dantai Zhongde while sipping spirit tea.
“Senior, you really are a busy person!” Dantai Zhongde shook his head with a bitter smile, “It’s been nearly four years since we last parted!”
“Alas! This old man has indeed been too busy to get away!” Tan Yun's tone was weary, and beneath the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, his eyes revealed a deep expectation, “Oh right, Elder De, have you managed to capture the Nirvana Sacred Fire?”
Tan Yun recalled that over three years ago, Dantai Zhongde had mentioned that someone from their headquarters discovered a high-quality sub-respect grade fire seed, the Nirvana Sacred Fire, in a Secret Realm.
However, capturing this fire seed was not easy since it had developed spiritual intelligence.
Dantai Zhongde smiled and said, “We caught it three years ago; the fire seed is with Shen Subing now. Senior, you can go and retrieve it from your disciple.”
“Hmm, that’s great,” Tan Yun felt quite excited in his heart. Once the primordial ice flame devoured the Nirvana Sacred Fire, he would be able to advance!
At that moment, Dantai Zhongde looked at Tan Yun with a hesitant expression.
Understanding his thoughts, Tan Yun chuckled, “Elder De, don’t worry. I said back then that once I obtain the Nirvana Sacred Fire, I will certainly gift you the alchemical formula. Although it was just a verbal agreement, I will still keep my word; I won’t let you down.”
“I’ll tell you a few more things later, and then I’ll present you with the alchemical formula.”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Zhongde’s wrinkled cheeks blossomed like a chrysanthemum, and he immediately smiled, “Senior, please speak.”
“I have a young disciple who possesses both Beast Fetal Soul and Death Fetal Soul, but he is still only at the first layer of the refining soul realm and requires some death attribute Beast Spirits,” Tan Yun said with a frown.
“Elder, you also know that death attribute demon beasts are not commonly found. I wonder if your headquarters has any spare personnel to help me continue searching for the fire seed while also hunting some death attribute demon beasts?”
The young disciple Tan Yun mentioned was naturally Mu Mengyi.
Dantai Zhongde readily agreed, “If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t help, but since it’s Senior asking, I will certainly do my best.”
After that, Dantai Zhongde joked, “Senior, you know that the Beast Spirits of demon beasts below the fifth level have not yet formed; they are still dormant within the demon beast's Demon Core. Only after a fourth-level tribulation stage demon beast advances to the fifth level will the Beast Spirit detach from the Demon Core and form an independent soul body in the demon beast’s mind.”
“If you want me to find you some third-level tribulation stage demon beasts’ Beast Spirits, my people can certainly handle that, but fourth-level demon beasts are equivalent to strong practitioners in the divine soul realm, and my people won’t be able to hunt them!”
Tan Yun smiled and said, “I understand that. How about this, try your best to hunt fourth-level demon beasts, but third-level demon beasts are also acceptable.”
“Alright, I will send people to hunt death attribute demon beasts,” Dantai Zhongde said with a sigh, “Senior, to be honest, the highest quality ice attribute and fire seed I can provide you is only a supreme sub-respect grade fire seed.”
