Chapter 745: Glazed Nascent Fetus

Before Fang Lie could respond, a Semi-Immortal nearby shouted, "Don’t listen to her nonsense! I know her origins. The Ninth-Rank Treasure she has is an item spirit turned into a fool, its power is not much stronger than an Eighth-Rank High-Grade treasure. Let’s trade instead; I have the original Ninth-Rank Treasure!"

The ageless Immortal Childs instantly became furious, "You scoundrel, how dare you undermine me?"

"Hah, what’s so great about that? When facing such a divine item, even the King of Heaven wouldn’t stop me!"

"Ha ha, well said! In that case, I’ll join in! Kid, just nod, and you can have one Ninth-Rank Treasure and three Eighth-Rank Treasures!" another Semi-Immortal chimed in with a laugh.

Immediately, the Semi-Immortals went wild, arguing loudly, all clamoring to buy the huge nine-colored glaze.

Many onlookers were puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, "No matter how good this thing is, it’s still just material, right? Why are so many people willing to trade for a Ninth-Rank Treasure?"

"Isn’t it obvious? They aren’t buying the nine-colored glaze; they’re after what’s inside it!"

"Heh heh, the only thing that can cause the glaze to display such patterns is one thing: the Congenital Glaze Nascent Fetus! Only this item can gradually infuse the surrounding soil and stones with high-grade glaze!"

"Ah, so that’s how it is! This thing has such a big background? The Congenital Glaze Nascent Fetus itself is more valuable than a Ninth-Rank Treasure, plus such a large chunk of nine-colored glaze—there’s no way just one Ninth-Rank Treasure can buy it!"

"Definitely! So these seniors are actually trying to trick us!"

"But that kid seems to have some backing; he probably isn’t that easy to trick!"

Indeed, at that moment, Fang Lie could no longer hold back. He rushed over, collected the huge nine-colored glaze, and proclaimed loudly, "Everyone, I’m sorry, but I have no intention of parting with this treasure!"

After saying that, Fang Lie wanted to leave this troublesome place quickly.

However, the ageless Immortal Childs and the other Semi-Immortals blocked his path and pleaded, "Kid, don’t be so disrespectful! We are here to trade sincerely!"

"Don’t think just because you have some backing that you can act without care. With so many seniors here, even if your Sect is powerful, it can’t protect you. If you don’t want anything unexpected to happen, you’d better leave the treasure!"

"Heh heh, you young Qingqing possess such cultivation skills, which makes you a peerless talent! But if a talent doesn’t grow, they’re no different from garbage! Do you understand?"

Fang Lie became angry immediately and coldly laughed, "With a bunch of scoundrels like you, you dare threaten me? Look in the mirror!"

As soon as Fang Lie said this, it was like poking a hornet’s nest; more than ten Semi-Immortals trembled with rage, their anger rising sky-high.

If they weren’t inside the powerful Formation of Star Loss City, they would have directly attacked him.

Even so, the terrifying killing intent they exuded made the nearby Thunder Tribulation Immortals tremble in fear, quickly retreating. In the blink of an eye, the large Gambling Pavilion was left with only several Semi-Immortals and Fang Lie, while everyone else fled, scared out of their wits by the palpable killing aura.

"Ha ha, I haven’t been out in hundreds of years, and I find this world seems unrecognizable!"

"Yes, just a little junior dares to look down on us?"

"If this were outside, I’d definitely have his skin peeled off!"

"Perhaps he’s just some spoiled rich kid, pampered by his elders, so he doesn’t know how vast the world is?"

"Hmph, even Zhu Xian or Shi Shen wouldn’t face more than ten Semi-Immortals! No matter how powerful his family is, how can he oppose us? I see he is just seeking death!"

"Deputy City Lord, how about you lift the limits of the Formation so we can deal with him?" one of the scoundrels asked in a strange tone.

The scholar immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly smiled wryly, "Absolutely not! The rules of Star Loss City cannot be broken. As long as he remains here, he must be under our protection. If anyone has any intentions, please resolve it outside!"

In truth, he did not want to protect Fang Lie, but the issue was that he had no choice! It not only related to the reputation of Star Loss City but also its survival.

Because there was only one nine-colored glaze ball, and more than a dozen Semi-Immortals couldn’t divide it. A fight was definitely going to break out; their destructive power was immensely terrifying, and any two combatants could instantly destroy the entire Star Loss City.

So, even though the Deputy City Lord was unwilling to offend everyone, he dared not let them act freely here.

Fortunately, these Semi-Immortals understood the Deputy City Lord’s difficulties and did not push too hard. Instead, they discussed among themselves before eventually leaving one after another.

The Ageless Immortal Child sneered at Fang Lie before departing, "Boy, if you’ve got the guts, stay hidden forever. Show your face once, and we’ll capture you to refine your soul into ashes!"

"Old hag, quit gloating!" Fang Lie retorted defiantly. "I don’t just scorn you—you’re utterly beneath my contempt! You lack even the capability!"

The Ageless Immortal Child’s flight faltered momentarily, clearly seething with rage.

After the crowd dispersed, the Deputy City Lord wiped his brow and sighed, "Kid, your audacity knows no bounds! Do you fancy yourself as Fang Lie with his undying nature? How dare you provoke so many?"

He suddenly froze, exclaiming, "Wait—you couldn’t actually be that Immortal Phoenix Fang Lie from the Mo Sect, could you?"

Fang Lie grinned curiously. "Why’s he called ‘Immortal Phoenix’?"

"Isn’t it obvious? The man sports wings like some avian creature, paired with his undying nature’s Powerful Divine Skills. The title fits!" the scholar pressed. "Well? Are you him?"

Fang Lie turned away without answering.

Watching his retreating figure, the Deputy City Lord frowned inwardly. ‘This infuriating brat! His arrogance matches Fang Lie’s, but rumors say Fang Lie flaunts himself openly. With undying nature, why hide? Unless… he’s an imposter?’

Meanwhile, over a dozen Semi-Immortals encircled Star Loss City, each staking territorial claims. Their pact dictated whoever’s zone Fang Lie last traversed would claim him as prey—unless he escaped to another’s territory.

Confident the masked junior couldn’t escape, they disregarded the howling winds outside. Wealthy visitors seldom lingered long—soon they’d emerge as easy targets. For the treasured Congenital Glaze Nascent Fetus, minor discomfort meant nothing.

Notably, their verbal agreement held fragile. Even if captured, others would attack instantly. The ultimate victor remained uncertain.

Returning to his quarters with Li Qing, Fang Lie immediately announced closed-door training.

Madam Hu arrived posthaste, astonished by his abruptness. Upon learning from Li Qing about the Immortal Crystals, Blood Crystal, and Congenital Glaze Nascent Fetus won through gambling, she gaped in disbelief.

No one in Star Loss City’s history had ever scored such treasures—let alone a first-timer. Madam Hu dismissed mere luck, resolving to investigate Fang Lie’s secrets.

Unconcerned by others’ reactions, Fang Lie focused wholly on the Congenital Glaze Nascent Fetus. He’d secretly transferred the nine-colored glaze sphere to the Cycle of Fire, where the old bird now inspected it.

Through divine sense, Fang Lie inquired eagerly, "Bird Bro! Is the Glazed Nascent Fetus inside?"

"Not located yet, but I sense unique vitality within." The old bird chuckled. "Nothing but a Glazed Nascent Fetus could dwell in nine-colored glaze! Congratulations—fourth innate great five elements nascent fetus acquired! Only the water element remains for completion!"

"Perfect!" Fang Lie nearly cheered. "All thanks to the Heavenly Dao Turtle!"

"Naturally! The Earth Immortal Realm’s sole auspicious beast!" the old bird replied. "They say Fortune favors its merit-bound keeper. Your abundant merit earned this—and its tremendous benefits."

"Every action bears destined consequence," Fang Lie mused. "Still, trouble brews—over a dozen Semi-Immortals hunt me."

"Let them slaughter freely," the old bird scoffed. "More deaths mean greater karmic debts. Once you refine all five great nascent fetuses and reach Golden Pool realm, you’ll qualify to collect payment—with interest!"
