As the largest trading house in the Middle Continent, Immortals Building had a history of nearly a thousand years. It was located in downtown Tianyuan City and covered an extremely large area. It was overcrowded on weekdays, not to mention that the Immortal's Sword Assembly was close.
Xiao Chen hired a carriage. Before the time came, several main streets were already jammed, and carriages could not pass. Several people had to get out of the carriage. They looked over at an imposing building in the distance. The "Immortals Building" looked golden and dazzling under the sun.
The Immortals Conference was be held every ten years with Immortal's Sword Assembly. At this time, ordinary cultivators were no longer accepted into the hall. Those who could enter were mostly from big families and sects.
When approaching, Xiao Chen saw two rows of welcoming ladies who were receiving guests at the entrance. A woman dressed in a purple dress was particularl
After about half an hour, almost all the guests had arrived. The entrance to the hall was closed, and no one was allowed to enter. As the ritual music rang, everyone began to talk and guess what the final treasure would be. The background curtain was slowly unveiled as a graceful figure slowly walked to the middle of the high platform. It was Chu Meng, and several waiters followed. The crowd below immediately stopped talking and then burst into a loud cheer. "Miss Chu Meng! Miss Chu Meng!" "Oh! Miss Chu Meng, you are so beautiful. Please allow me to present the highest praise on behalf of the Lord!" "Oh! I pray to the Lord. Please, the noble and beautiful Lord. Oh no, the noble and beautiful Miss Chu Meng, please marry me..." Chu Meng smiled and nodded to the people below. Xiao Chen smiled gently. These people acted too exaggeratedly. Were they here to buy things or to look at the beauty? But Chu Meng did have an
The bidder was Chu Xuan. He was sneering toward Xiao Chen. The old man next to him kept gesturing him, but he ignored it. He still sneered at Xiao Chen. At this time, almost everyone had been stunned for a while, even Chu Meng. After a while, the people on the first floor looked at Chu Xuan successively. The look on his face seemed to target at the young man dressed in a gentleman's suit. Just now, the girl shouted "Brother Xiao Chen". Would this person be that Xiao Chen? But no matter what, there will be no other people to bid this thing at the moment. Although this pendant contained abundant spiritual energy, Chu Meng just said that it could not be extracted. If the energy could be extracted, it was naturally an invaluable treasure. But since it cannot be extracted, what was the use of it? Prevent the cultivator's spiritual energy from leaking out? It's just a joke. Who cared about that little amount of spiritual energy? Even if the energy
When the price reached more than 70,000, it was gradually stabilized, and a large number of bidders stopped bidding. The rest bidders mostly raised one thousand or two thousand once. Zuoqiu Ping and Chu Xuan were finally ready to move, but they were waiting, waiting for the other to bid first. What if the other did not bid? Then, the one who bade would take advantage. The price became stagnant at 76,000, and no one bade again. Chu Xuan couldn't hold it anymore. He was about to bid when the old man next to him pressed the back of his hand to tell him not to hurry. "76,000 once!" "76,000 twice!" Chu Meng smiled and was about to announce. Zuoqiu Ping finally opened his mouth. "80,000!" The old man next to Chu Xuan nodded and gently looked at Chu Xuan, indicating that they should give this pill to Zuoqiu family, and they should take the next two pills. But Chu Xuan suddenly said loudly, "100,000!" The ol
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the box. Murong Xian'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, are you also interested in this skill?" Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. His Mystic Cyan Cultivation Method was the best ancient skill, so he did not need to learn the other sects' skill. He always wanted to know what happened back then, so he wanted to see which sect did this so-called "ancient cultivation method" belong to or if he was familiar with the sect. Chu Meng reached out her hand to quiet the crowd. She held the box in her hand and smiled. "This set of cultivation method is indeed originated thousands of years ago, and even longer. If one practices it to the extreme, it could produce a huge power. But it has a drawback. The cultivator who practices it must not have affection, or he will suffer the Qi Deviation." Before she finished, the crowd began to talk about it again. Xiao Chen thought, "It needs one to cut off his affect
As the largest trading bank in Zhongzhou, Myriad Immortals Pavilion had three major halls. The major one was the auction house, the second was the free-trading hall, which was for people to sell things at some stalls or trade items. The third was the consignment hall. The seller set the price and gave the items to the Myriad Immortals Pavilion to sell. There were three floors in the consignment hall. The price of the goods on the first floor was from one thousand to ten thousand stones. On the second floor, the price was no higher than one hundred thousand stones. On the third floor, the price was topless. As long as you pay enough fees, you could sell things at ten million stones. Being led by the maid, Xiao Chen came directly to the second floor. There were many people who are carefully selecting goods that suited them with the waiters. Many people want to see if they could find a good treasure at a low price. After passing a corner, Xiao
Xiao Chen's eye narrowed at the glimpse of the herb-shaped emblem on his cape. This man was also a healer; one who had found out from the start that he was the one who brewed the Evolution of Tao Pill. "I'm afraid I'm sorry, my friend. I do not mean to be indelicate, but trust me when I'm telling you that even if you have my recipe, it is still very hard for you to successfully produce another one." And that was the truth; the recipes in the Elixir King Scripture required healers with great and impeccable skill to use. Xiao Chen would never have been able to put any of the recipes to use if not for his Divine Sense. Even if he could, the product would only be shoddy and worthless. Moreover, the Elixir King Scripture contained various notes left to him by Gui Xian to help him. Divulging the contents of the tome and the recipes within would be tantamount as a betrayal to Gui Xian's trust. The man sighed grimly, "So, it is indeed a recipe from
Xiao Chen and Murong Xian'er ambled around in the streets and returned to the compound of their lodgings when it was sundown. There were many people grouped around the entrance of the compound. But as they got closer, Xiao Chen realized that they were students of the Jade Qing Sect and quickened his pace. When he got there, a few of the students greeted him. "Junior Brother Xiao." He smiled at them and went inside to find about forty people waiting at the courtyard. They were more students of the Jade Qing Sect joined by the disciples of the Xianyong Sect. Amongst them, he found Fengxi and Zi Mo. "D*mned rascal, where have you been the whole day? Have you been off having fun on your own? And what is that you're wearing?!" Zi Mo glowered at him as soon as he saw Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen smiled weakly in response. Then he saw Luo Shangyan and Li Muxue, both of whom also noticed his return, and they came to him. They too were surprised when they sa
It was a voice, echoing across the room towards him. Its cascading reverberation bounding between the walls with pangs of sadness and age that the fabric of Time and Space around him were resonating in concert to it. Xiao Chen turned at once, looking at the voice and found that it came from the little black box that he tossed unto his table. The flickers from the lamp on his table cast a glow, eerie and wavering, upon the walls around him that he felt himself slowly filling with dread. "Did the voice really come from within the box?" he asked himself as he slowly crept to his table. He stared at it for seconds. But nothing came from the box. It remained still and silent. "Is there something, or someone, sealed within the box? A powerful demon perhaps? Would it kill me if I were to inadvertently set it free?" He shook himself, expelling the horrors of the old wives' tales away from his head. Slowly, he took the box into his hands and looked at it closely.
