Chapter 1452: Three Rare Treasures, Awe of the Immortals (Part 1) Chapter 1452: Three Rare Treasures, Awe of the Immortals (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations Facing Elder Star Hu’s offer of the exquisite Primal Spirit Tree, Jiang Chengxuan, though expressing approval, soon fell silent again.
This response was unmistakably clear to everyone: the gift, though appreciated, was not enough.
To gain the Starfallen Plains, they would need to show far greater sincerity.
Elder Star Hu understood immediately.
Without delay or resistance, he wrapped the Primal Spirit Tree in a field of celestial energy, suspending it in the air like a radiant beacon.
Then, with a slight nod, he delved back into his storage ring, triggering a brilliant light.
Witnessing this, many of the onlookersaEUR”immortal cultivators, disciples of the Starry Celestial Sect, and the likeaEUR”turned their gazes towards him, their expressions filled with eager anticipation.
The treasures of a Celestial Immortal were bound to be rare and precious.
For most immortals, these were things they might never see in their lifetime, and here was a rare opportunity to witness them firsthand.
A soft hum filled the air as Elder Star Hu revealed a small, seemingly ordinary pill.
Its surface was rough and irregular, resembling a lump of dough rather than a rare elixir.
Lacking any visible energy or aura, it looked like something one might toss aside without a second thought.
Had it not come from the hand of Elder Star Hu, most would have dismissed it as mere trinket.
“What is this?
It looks so ordinaryaEUR|” “Could it be Elder Star Hu took out the wrong item?
It has almost no energy signature!” Curious whispers spread through the crowd as puzzled gazes locked onto the unassuming pill.
Even some of the elders and disciples of the Starry Celestial Sect looked tense, fearing that their esteemed elder might be trying to cut corners with such a seemingly useless object.
Others wondered if this was some elaborate trick.
Only a few Celestial Immortals seemed to be in deep contemplation, sensing faint traces of primordial energy emanating from the pillaEUR”though so subtle it was barely perceptible.
“Does the honored guest know the nature of this item?” Elder Star Hu asked, his expression a sly mix of composure and pride as he addressed Jiang Chengxuan.
The battle might have ended in their defeat, but this display of treasures was also a way for the Starry Celestial Sect to showcase its ancient lineage and deep heritage.
Though vanquished, they wanted the world to know they still possessed unparalleled artifacts accumulated over countless generations.
The fact that they could present items beyond Jiang Chengxuan’s knowledge was, in a way, a subtle victory.
Amused, Jiang Chengxuan caught the gleam in Elder Star Hu’s eyes, noting his intention.
A faint smile crossed his face as he replied, “This is a pillaEUR|” A mocking sneer spread across Elder Star Hu’s face, while the onlookers stifled laughter.
They thought to themselves that anyone could tell it was a pillaEUR”Jiang Chengxuan’s answer seemed almost comical.
But wary of his strength, no one dared openly mock him.
“Truly, the guest is most observantaEUR|” Seizing the opportunity, Elder Star Hu was about to add a snide comment when Jiang Chengxuan interrupted, his tone calm but unwavering.
“This pill is known as the Celestial Elixir,” Jiang Chengxuan explained, “an ancient pill crafted through forbidden techniques.
It requires the essence of an ancient sacred body as a primary component, along with a host of primordial ingredients.
At first, it appears plain and inert, with no discernible power or effects.
Yet the true mystery lies in its ability to mature over time.
After ten thousand years, it becomes potent enough to grant a significant boost in cultivation, even to Celestial Immortals.
Am I correct, Elder Star Hu?” The audience gasped as Jiang Chengxuan recounted the elixir’s history and properties in astonishing detail.
Many now looked to Elder Star Hu in awe, realizing the humble pill was far more than it seemed.
Celestial Immortals among the crowd, who had felt only faint traces of energy, now recognized the pill’s true essence, its aura and purpose clicking into place.
Even Elder Star Hu, who had previously been smug, now stood stunned, his expression frozen in shock.
This Celestial Elixir had been obtained from an ancient relic thousands of years agoaEUR”a former domain of an Immortal Alchemist.
Based on what he’d found in that relic, he knew the pill’s name and that it required ten thousand years to mature.
Yet the specifics Jiang Chengxuan mentioned, like the use of a sacred body as the primary component, had been unknown even to him.
