Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

Song Ciwan spent about four hours successfully refining the Golden Cicada Jade Exoskeleton.

Then, she used up all ten of her bartering opportunities for the day.

She used five of these opportunities to barter away Malice. After bartering the Spirit Level Demon Spirit Malice for five rounds, her total Lifespan reached 20,230 years!

Her total Lifespan had increased by another ten thousand years. However, unlike the first time her Lifespan surpassed the ten-thousand-year mark, Song Ciwan no longer felt that same sense of being completely reborn.

Of course, the refreshing vitality that came with each major increase in Lifespan still felt wonderful to her.

Even with over twenty thousand years of Lifespan as a buffer, Song Ciwan still felt it wasn’t enough. She proceeded to sell off all the remaining forty-odd jin of Dragon Blood in her Heaven and Earth Scale.

This time, however, she bartered it away in ten-jin increments.

Each ten-jin sale yielded three Blizzard Pills!

Blizzard Pill: A Four-star Elixir, a common aid for Cultivation at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Forty jin of Dragon Blood only netted her twelve Blizzard Pills.

The Flood Dragon Blood, which had once seemed like an endless treasure in Song Ciwan’s eyes, turned out to be finite after all.

Finally, Song Ciwan selected a mass of human desires from Lan Yanqiu and casually bartered it away.

[You have sold human desires: the panic, confusion, and anxiety of an Innate First Transformation Martial Artist. Weight: one jin and two taels. You have obtained one year and two months of cultivation time.]

The cultivation time gained was a mere year and a few months. Song Ciwan had deliberately made this barter before beginning the Refinement of the Spiritual Artifact not for the time itself, but simply to regulate her aura, replenish her True Qi, and bring herself to peak condition.

After emerging from her accelerated cultivation, Song Ciwan delayed no further.

She took out the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death, which had been stored in the Heaven and Earth Scale. The moment the treasure landed in her palm, it flared into a ball of clear light, gave a sudden twist, and slipped right through her fingers!

It was too fast, truly faster than a shooting star and as swift as lightning. With a single leap into the air, it shot toward the horizon—

Luckily, Song Ciwan was prepared. The clear sky above the Han Guang Glaze Residence suddenly seemed to ripple like the surface of water. In the next instant, the Duality Dust Array activated!

The profound mysteries of this Array could be traced back to its origin as an Ancient Immortal Array.

It could transform chaos into duality and duality into formlessness, concealing killing intent within the intangible and containing infinity within a speck of dust.

The sky above the Han Guang Glaze Residence appeared to be a vast, pure expanse of blue with white clouds, but in reality, this so-called sky was nothing more than an illusion manifested by the Array.

As the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death tried to escape, it flew right into the Array.

Of course, the Array was actually omnipresent within the Han Guang Glaze Residence. Part of the Duality Dust Array’s genius lay in its ability to conceal the tangible within the intangible.

No matter which direction they fled, it was impossible for any Spiritual Objects caught within to escape the Array’s confines.

In a flash, Song Ciwan raised her hand and barked a single command, "Seize!"

The fleeing ball of clear light was flung backward by an invisible force, shooting back through the roof of the Han Guang Glaze Residence in an instant and landing right back in Song Ciwan’s grasp.

Though it was a Spiritual Artifact, the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death could not unleash its full power without having first acknowledged a master.

Song Ciwan suppressed it with immeasurable Giant Power. At the same time, her other hand constantly shifted through various Finger Techniques as she flicked out droplets of her heart’s blood, tightly enveloping the ball of clear light—the Spiritual Artifact’s current form—in their essence.

She began to chant softly, "Qian is the sun, Kun is the moon. Sun and Moon are formless, life and death are fleeting. Like the profound connection between heaven and humanity, like the hurried rush of a great river..."

Verse by verse, line by line, this was the fundamental mantra inherent to the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death.

To complete the Refinement of this treasure, one had to understand it, comprehend it, and then transcend it. Only then could it be controlled.

In the midst of this Refinement, Song Ciwan suddenly discovered that her Lifespan... was slowly draining away as the process continued!

On second thought, it wasn’t all that surprising. The predecessor to the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death—the Exotic Treasure known as Shao Guang—was an item whose clear light would instantly steal the life of anyone it touched.

The wonder of Shao Guang lay in its control over the flow of time itself, able to make a person’s life flash before their eyes and their Lifespan burn out in an instant.

Although the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death was slightly different, it was clearly cut from the same cloth.

Fortunately, Song Ciwan had Lifespan to spare. A mere hundred years drained away every quarter-hour was a cost she could easily afford!

It was two hours until Midnight. Once Midnight passed, Song Ciwan’s Heaven and Earth Scale would grant her ten new bartering opportunities.

If she couldn’t finish refining the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death in time and started running low on Lifespan, she wasn’t worried. She could just barter away more Demon Spirit Malice and settle in for a war of attrition with this treasure!

Song Ciwan poured a massive amount of True Qi into the Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death. With a Blizzard Pill dissolving in her mouth, the Refinement process began to hit its stride.

And so, time passed.

「Central State, Shangjing.」

In a sprawling manor in the suburbs of Shangjing, a woman abruptly sat up in a Primordial Energy Pool, its contents as thick and viscous as fresh milk.

Her face was a vision of perfection, as if meticulously sculpted by the Immortal Gods themselves. Upon her stunning features, a pair of light-colored eyes shimmered. Reflected in the steaming water of the pool, those pupils seemed to hold a world as vast as an infinite Abyss.

As she rose from the water, the attendant palace maids and eunuchs immediately fell to their knees in unison.

None dared to raise their heads to meet her gaze, to look upon her face, much less to look directly into her eyes.

Only one person remained standing: an old Daoist in a gray-white robe. He stood with his back to the Primordial Energy Pool, a Duster draped over the crook of his arm. The snow-white fibers of the Duster swayed gently against the hem of his greasy robes. Hearing the commotion behind him, he abruptly turned and met the woman’s gaze.

The old Daoist chortled, his voice rough. "Your Highness, you insisted on summoning this old Daoist, claiming you had a Sudden Inspiration that something major was afoot. What’s so major? Did you call me all the way out here just to watch you get out of the bath?"

This old Daoist’s appearance was slovenly, his words were crude, and his tone was flippant to the point of being offensive.

The woman, however, was not angered. Instead, she raised a slender, pale hand and plucked a single white fiber from the Daoist’s Duster. Her gaze shimmered, a mixture of joy and sorrow. "Daoist Master, the vengeance for my son must be had. Wouldn’t you... agree?"

The old Daoist sighed in resignation. "Getting revenge is the easy part. The problem is finding the one responsible... I’ve already tried my best. If I can’t divine it, what can I do?"

The woman said, "Everything that happens in this world leaves a trace. Just because you could not divine it once doesn’t mean you can never divine it. What couldn’t be found in the past might be found today. Daoist Master, am I wrong?"

The old Daoist’s expression changed, and he shook his head like a rattle. "No, no! My lifespan is limited. If I keep divining, I’ll be a dead man! Your Highness, it’s not that I won’t do it—I truly can’t afford the price! What other choice do I have?"

But the woman just smiled softly. "And what if you could afford it?"
