Even for immortals in the Immortal Realm, cultivators in the lower realms who have reached the Spirit Platform stage are also dismissive of the gold and silver jewelry of the mortal world.
Because it holds no meaning for them.
Even Soul Splitting Realm cultivators usually conduct transactions with Spirit Stones, right?
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Brother Ao Qian, you are too kind..."
Cang Ji saw him not moving, quickly stepped forward, and took over the mountains of ten million taels of gold for him.
Brother Cheng thought he was just being polite, then heard other members of the Dragon Race nearby expressing their envy and admiration.
"The Golden Dragon Race is truly generous!"
"Indeed, they actually gifted ten million taels!"
"Last time for the 37th birth of the Cyan Dragon Emperor's child, the Golden Dragon Race only gave one million taels."
"They really went all out this time."
"The Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon coming to the world, it's worth it!"
"It seems the Golden Dragon Race really values this return..."
Hearing their discussion, Brother Cheng started to question his own judgment.
This gift really seemed precious.
Did he completely misjudge?
He quickly used 'High-level Advanced Insight' to take a look.
The system showed: Ten million taels of gold, worth 0.00000000001 merit.
Is it really just ordinary gold?
Brother Cheng was completely dumbfounded.
So what makes it valuable, can it aid in cultivation?
What would immortals use gold for?
Has his understanding been wrong all along?
"The Fire Dragon Race congratulates the return of the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon with one scoop of Fire Spirit Beads!"
Hearing about the Fire Spirit Beads, Brother Cheng got excited, could it be some magical heavenly and earthly treasures?
He quickly poked his head to take a look.
Only to find himself speechless once more.
Turns out these Fire Spirit Beads were just ordinary jewels, lacking any Immortal Spirit Qi.
The only effect is that they're somewhat warm, can be used as a warming device.
What significance does this have for immortals?
The dragons nearby once again showered praises and envy.
"Wow! The Fire Dragon Race actually gave a whole scoop!"
"This is their supreme treasure!"
"Yeah, usually they are given one at a time."
"I said it early on, the significance of the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon is different, of course, the congratulatory gifts have to be exceptionally bountiful..."
Brother Cheng was starting to wonder if he'd been knocked back to the mortal world from the Immortal Realm.
He didn't know that the Dragon Race does indeed have a fondness for collecting shiny gold and silver treasures.
For them, the meaning of cultivation resources and gilded items are different.
The former are necessities, while the latter are luxury artworks.
To give away these 'artworks' is truly to take their most precious possessions.
And to give so many, their sincerity is truly ample.
Moreover, gold and silver, which are common minerals in the lower realm, are so low-grade that they really don't exist in the Immortal Realm.
Rarity makes things valuable!
Most of the gold and silver treasures among the dragons now were brought up by dragons who ascended in the past.
Next, Candle Dragon and other dragon races like Li Dragon, Coiling Dragon, Qiu Long, and Flood Dragon also presented their gifts.
Without exception, it was either pearls, jewels, or gold and silver utensils.
The glow of jewels almost blinded Brother Cheng's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes.
He finally understood what it means to be buried under a pile of treasures.
The nearby dragons were envious and jealous, looking at these gold and silver treasures, their eyes were turning red and green.
They unanimously expressed that the specification and value of this year's gifts are unprecedented.
Indeed, the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon truly holds prestige...
Brother Cheng, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude to their entire family.
He was truly thankful he took the time out of his busy schedule, expecting to receive a large sum of luxurious gifts, only for this?
All together, it wasn't even worth 1 point of merit!
"The Cyan Dragon Race, gift of one thousand taels of silver!"
"The Yinglong Race, gift of one thousand taels of silver!"
"The Cloud Dragon Race, gift of one thousand taels of silver!"
As three announcements were made, the previously applauding square gradually fell silent.
Even though the Dragon Race values gold and silver highly, there's still a high and low in value.
One thousand taels of silver compared to the Golden Dragon Race's ten million taels of gold is hardly comparable.
Any lower-rank dragon's collection would easily surpass this hundredfold.
Many dragons secretly transmitted their voices, whispering.
"As expected, the Cyan Dragon Race is still so stingy."
"There's no helping it, they don't care about being on par with the Azure and Golden Dragons."
"Hasn't it always been like this? Last time when Ao Yang returned, the Cyan Dragon side only sent a thousand taels of silver."
"But this time it's the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon after all!"
"Even the Cyan Dragon Emperor himself is a Nine-Horned Cyan Dragon with a perfect bloodline, why would he bother about a junior not yet at Quasi-Emperor level?"
"Sigh..."
"Thank you for your congratulatory gifts!"
Cang Ji made a forced smile as he accepted the three thousand taels of silver.
Refusing them would mean disrespecting the Cyan Dragon Emperor.
Brother Cheng discreetly curled his lips.
Even though he didn't hear those dragons' transmissions, he knew the gifts were utterly insulting.
But it didn't matter to him, whether gold or silver, they held no value in his eyes.
After all, he is an Immortal King...
The gift-giving process quickly neared its end.
At this moment, the three from Feixian Sect finally made their appearance.
"Feixian Sect congratulates the genius of the Azure Dragon Race on your return, with a gift of... one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"
Hearing this gift, Brother Cheng was filled with emotion.
At least his disciples understood him!
Even though they didn't recognize him, at least they gave something he could use.
It's just they are now too poor. A hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, within the Middle Immortal Realm, any Immortal Venerable could easily produce.
There's no helping it, the Demon Realm doesn't produce Immortal Crystals, since the Demon Race can't use them.
After staying here for fifty million years without leaving, Ji Linghan and the others naturally didn't have much left.
As for gold and silver treasures, they hadn't collected them before.
The few pieces of jewelry they had were given away in previous gift-giving instances long ago.
In their opinion, Immortal Crystals and gold, silver, and jewels are all shiny, and should appeal to this peerless genius, right?
Brother Cheng was ready to personally receive this gift when he heard the Seventh Prince Profound Light scoff.
"Humph, Immortal Crystals? How could you present such junk?"
To the Dragon Race, Immortal Crystals are indeed worthless.
Though they are also shiny, rarity makes them precious, and Immortal Crystal ores are everywhere in the Immortal and Demon Realms, making them far less treasured.
Besides, these dragons also can't use Immortal Crystals for cultivation.
So they wouldn't treat these things as treasures at all.
Nearby, the Dragon Kings of the Yinglong and Cloud Dragon races joined in.
"These human vermin truly have no class."
"If you want to curry favor with the Azure Dragon, at least show some sincerity!"
"Really bringing disgrace upon themselves..."
Such words even made Cang Ji secretly frown.
Today is a joyous day for the Azure Dragon Race, even if others' gifts are worthless, there's no need to mock and ridicule like this.
Across from them, Mo Chen, Shan Tai, and Wei Miao's hearts sank.
They'd done their utmost to please the dragons; the one hundred thousand Immortal Crystals were their last resources.
In the end, the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon remained unimpressed?
Soon, they saw that Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon, who had been sitting high up lazily, fly out.
In full view of everyone, he personally received the one hundred thousand Immortal Crystals with great care.
As if it was the most precious treasure on earth.
"Hahaha, good, very good!"
"This gift is really nice!"
