Not only did the surface of the cups display the twelve Immortal flowers, but within each flower bud, a beautiful Flower Goddess emerged. Each one was graceful and elegant—peerlessly stunning, radiating unmatched charm. It was the very essence of divine beauty.
Yet their appearances remained hazy, indistinct—they could be anyone or no one. Everything about them was ambiguous, mysterious.
"The Emperor truly has discerning eyes," said Zhen Chengxin with a proud smile."Indeed, this is a set of heaven-and-earth treasures—the Twelve Flower Immortal Cups. Though they're merely teacups, each one possesses mystical powers."
"Every Flower Cup can nurture a spirit tea, one corresponding to its designated month. The tea is not only divine but also regenerates over time—once per year, one cup per flower."
This was no ordinary tea.
The Water Narcissus Immortal Cup, for instance, would produce Water Narcissus Flower Tea.
"January – Narcissus:
Spring wind strokes jade to paint a picture,Moonlight ripples gently on the dam."
"This flower tea can dispel wind and heat, purge foreign afflictions. For cultivators, it boosts Dao power.
At Yellow-grade, one cup adds a year of Dao cultivation.
At Profound-grade, twelve years.
If it reaches Earth-grade, it becomes an innate spirit treasure, and a single cup enhances one hundred and twenty years of cultivation."
Zhen Chengxin beamed.
What's more, the tea had no side effects, and its effects were gentle and easily absorbed.
Each flower tea also carried unique properties. Female cultivators, upon drinking, might even exude fragrant floral scents from their bodies—irresistibly charming.
It wasn't just tea. It was spirit tea, immortal tea.
And most importantly: it regenerated.
A renewable sacred resource.
Compared to even the finest spiritual pills, this was more valuable. This was innate spirit tea.
With its potent effects and potential for long-term cultivation, the Twelve Flower Immortal Cups were undoubtedly priceless. One cup might offer a mere year of Dao growth, but a century later? One cup could grant over a hundred years of cultivation.
And the best part?
No resistance builds up—as long as you don't drink the same tea again within a year.
This set could become a supreme treasure for nurturing Great Yi's future geniuses.
"Excellent. And what is the price for this Flower Immortal Cup set?"Yi Tianxing asked calmly, his tone careful."Though they're impressive, surely fellow Daoist won't demand an outrageous price. These cups… I suspect they're difficult to advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't still be Yellow-grade, and you wouldn't be so eager to sell them."
Zhen Chengxin's face stiffened slightly.
He hadn't expected Yi Tianxing's gaze to be this sharp—spotting the biggest flaw at a glance.
Indeed, the Flower Immortal Cups were extremely hard to upgrade.
Not just difficult—extraordinarily so.
There were two ways to evolve them:
Infuse them with innate sources, gathering enormous amounts of divine flowers and celestial blossoms, and merge their essence into the cups. This required astounding time and resources.
Find a woman with a "Flower Immortal Fate"—a unique Dao fate—and bind her to the cups. She would become the spirit of the set, growing alongside it. But this relied purely on fate and was impossible to plan.
Zhen had long given up hope of nurturing them. As mere Yellow-grade artifacts, he couldn't use them, and the return on investment was far too slow.
"You're too kind, Your Majesty," Zhen said, recovering with a smile."I've always traded with integrity and fairness. No deceit."
"That said… with the recent rise in treasure values, this set is priced at 120 million Eternal Coins. But if cultivated well, its true worth would be immeasurable."
One flower cup—10 million coins.
"Very well. I'll take them."Yi Tianxing nodded.
This was not something he could allow to slip through his fingers.
With the Twelve Flower Immortal Cups, he could accelerate the growth of countless rising stars in Great Yi. That meant saving decades of time.
It might be hard for others to cultivate them, but for him?
He could simply toss them into the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Pagoda, let the supreme treasure's power refine them. Given time, he could forcibly elevate them to Innate Spirit Treasure level.
Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't rush it—after all, the pagoda already housed many internal worlds. Overloading it would only slow its own evolution.
"And now, Your Majesty, please look at this next item.
Another top-tier heaven-and-earth treasure."
Zhen pointed at the second artifact.
Yi Tianxing raised his brows.
It was… a brick.
A golden brick.
Smooth and polished like those used in building houses—but exuding a strange coldness, as if it might suddenly fly up and bash someone's skull in.
"This is called the Limitless Gold Brick—also known as the Flying Brick," Zhen explained.
"It has a unique ability. Once thrown, it locks onto its target's qi.Even if they flee to the ends of the earth—they'll still get smacked."
"The force is immense—like a mountain crashing down.If one can't defend in time, it will reduce them to a smear of blood."
"Its true terror? It bypasses all protective divine light, spiritual defenses, even magical barriers. It will hit its mark."
Zhen's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Of course, it had drawbacks.
It could only bash—no other function.
And at Yellow-grade, it packed the power of ten thousand catties—not bad, but not terrifying.
Worse, to nurture it required three forces: karmic virtue, willing power, and luck.
And if not actively fed, it would drain those energies directly from its master.
Lose too much luck, and you'd suffer endless misfortunes.
Right now, the Flying Brick was a joke—a child's toy.
But Yi Tianxing was intrigued.
Though inconspicuous now, if cultivated properly, it could become a fearsome tool. Especially since it ignored defensive spells.
At the Innate Spirit Treasure level, even great cultivators would be left with goose eggs on their foreheads.
"I'll take the gold brick."Yi Tianxing nodded.
He bought it for 10 million Eternal Coins.
Something that broke through protective shields was absolutely worth it.
With the right use?
This could be the perfect surprise attack tool—a "must-have artifact" for travel, war, or revenge.
"Now, please look at this next item. A Medical Pod—also a heaven-and-earth treasure."
Zhen pointed to something resembling a white coffin.
But within, countless mysterious runes pulsed with divine light, forming complex innate seals.
"Just lie inside. As long as there's even a breath left, it will restore you.At peak level, even a skeleton can be regrown—flesh and blood resurrected."
It was an extraordinary healing treasure.
At Yellow-grade, it could treat standard injuries, even persistent ailments.
At Profound-grade, it could reconnect bones, regenerate limbs.
At Earth-grade, it could heal even crippling curses, restoring core vitality.
Only Dao wounds or divine curses remained beyond its reach.
But regardless, it was a treasure of immense value.
"Didn't expect to find something like this…"Yi Tianxing muttered with a twitch of his lips.
But then again, in this multiverse fusion, anything could appear. He was no longer surprised.
Zhen priced the Medical Pod at 30 million Eternal Coins, and Yi Tianxing bought it without hesitation.
As for the rest of the treasures on the fourth floor—Yi Tianxing once again swept them all into his possession.
Not a single item left behind.
"Your Majesty… you've truly left me in a bind," Zhen Chengxin said, both pained and overjoyed."My Treasure Pavilion is now just a name—emptied by your Emperor hands!"
"I'll have to go scour for new goods. Otherwise, I'll have nothing left for the next customer!"
Despite his mock complaint, Zhen's coffers were overflowing.
This windfall would allow him to expand his empire.
And with the vast territory of Great Yi now open, restocking would be no problem.
