A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

As they were talking, a graceful and beautiful woman landed elegantly on the platform, gave a slight bow to the crowd, and smiled gently:

"I, Chunniang, welcome all distinguished guests to Zuichunlou. As always, if any distinguished guest takes a fancy to a particular girl, you may make an offer directly. If multiple distinguished guests take a fancy to the same girl, the highest bidder will win."

Chunniang spoke very concisely, getting straight to the point.

As she finished speaking, the dozen or so women of the Ancient Void Clan removed their veils, revealing their exquisite faces.

Each and every one of them was beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament.

Then a dozen or so people started dancing at the same time.

The dance moves were graceful and beautiful.

Each person's unique characteristics are revealed as they dance.

"This is quite elegantly arranged," Lin Yang thought to himself.

He thought it was just a matter of choosing directly.

I didn't expect there would be a song and dance performance as well.

No one in the hall was in a hurry to bid; instead, they enjoyed the performance.

Gradually, people started to offer prices and make selections.

Lin Yang naturally did not participate.

Seeing that he hadn't bid, Zhao Hu couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin Yang, are none of these dancers good enough for you?"

Lin Yang shook his head: "No, it's just that I'm not interested."

"Not interested in these dancers?" Zhao Hu pondered. "Besides dancers, Zuichunlou also has male concubines."

"..." Lin Yang was speechless for a moment. "Brother Zhao Hu, I just have no interest in these things. Please don't misunderstand."

"Haha, Brother Lin Yang, please don't take offense, I was just joking."

Zhao Hu laughed heartily and then said:

"I thought you liked the people of the Ancient Xu Clan because I saw you admiring their handsome appearance when you entered the city before."

"I see, no wonder Brother Zhao Hu brought me here." Lin Yang was a little amused and exasperated.

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Some people come here specifically from other places just for the beauties of the Ancient Void Clan. Brother Lin Yang, you haven't been here before, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you around."

"I appreciate Brother Zhao Hu's kindness," Lin Yang sighed.

Zhao Hu waved his hand: "If Brother Lin Yang is not interested in these, then let's go to the back hall. There is a small trade fair in this Drunken Spring Pavilion where you can exchange or buy supplies."

Lin Yang raised an eyebrow: "There's a trade fair here?"

Zhao Hu nodded: "Zuichunlou is still mainly engaged in the business of pleasure and entertainment. The trade fair is just to facilitate some customers' side needs, after all, there are a lot of customers here."

Lin Yang immediately understood.

He and Zhao Hu then went directly to the back hall.

There were quite a few people in the back hall as well.

Clearly, not everyone was there for romantic purposes.

Lin Yang didn't actually have any specific needs; he just came to see what it was like.

The trade fair in the back hall was actually just various cultivators setting up stalls.

Yes, that's right.

There are stalls here, all set up by the practitioners themselves.

In essence, Zuichunlou provided a venue.

Some people display their goods for sale or label them with their names, waiting for customers to buy them.

Lin Yang glanced at them and found that most of them were fairly ordinary items, with relatively few high-level treasures.

However, there are quite a few resources that can be used for Nirvana Realm cultivation, and the prices are not expensive.

Some are cheaper than the prices in major stores.

This made him consider buying it as well.

I originally just wanted to come and see what was going on, but now I can actually buy some of these affordable resources.

"Brother Zhao Hu, is it safe to buy things here?"

Before making the purchase, Lin Yang asked Zhao Hu a few questions.

Zhao Hu smiled, seemingly understanding Lin Yang's concerns, and immediately said:
"Don't worry, it's safe. If it weren't safe, no one would dare to come."

“That’s true.” Lin Yang nodded and walked straight to one of the stalls.

The stall owner was also a powerful expert at the Nirvana Realm.

Lin Yang didn't know why this person would sell resources that could be used for cultivation, but he didn't care and simply bought them.

As for the price, since it was already quite cheap, the stall owner didn't haggle.

Lin Yang bought all the usable resources on the stall in one go.

The stall owner was quite a character; after selling out, he immediately packed up and left.

Lin Yang visited two more stalls and made a lot of purchases.

However, he also keenly noticed that as he continued to spend lavishly, some eyes were occasionally cast his way.

Clearly, it has attracted the attention of some people.

Lin Yang didn't take it to heart.

It's definitely safe inside Zuichunlou.

For the sake of its reputation, Zuichunlou would not allow anyone to act recklessly here.

As for leaving Zuichunlou, it's still within the city.

Unless the opponent can kill him instantly, he is safe.

Actions are prohibited within Bixia City.

Lin Yang didn't plan to buy any more.

We've already attracted some attention, so let's keep a low profile a bit.

Seeing that Lin Yang didn't intend to shop around anymore, Zhao Hu immediately prepared to leave.

He didn't really need to buy anything; he was mainly there to accompany Lin Yang.

However, seeing Lin Yang about to leave, a stall owner suddenly called out to him: "Fellow Daoist, I also have some resources here. Would you like to buy them as well?"

Lin Yang turned around and saw a stall owner who looked like a young man calling to him.

This person's stall did indeed have a considerable amount of resources needed for Nirvana Realm cultivation.

Lin Yang frowned slightly: "I've bought almost everything."

He didn't want to attract any more attention.

But the stall owner replied telepathically, "If you buy everything here, I can give you a discount."

Lin Yang focused his gaze on the other person.

The stall owner met his gaze and said, "Fellow Daoist, although you bought quite a lot of things just now, it's far from enough for your cultivation needs. Why don't you buy everything here as well? It's much more cost-effective than buying from a shop."

Lin Yang withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "You seem to be in a hurry to sell these things? Are you short of money?"

The stall owner was clearly taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Who comes here to sell things and doesn't need money?"

Lin Yang didn't say anything more.

Indeed, the prices here are cheaper than in shops, but higher than the shops' buyback prices. These people sell their goods here to try and make as much money as possible.

If you sell the same item in a shop, the shop will definitely try to lower the price.

They sell here for a slightly higher price than the shop's buyback price, but a slightly lower price than the selling price, hoping to make as much of a profit as possible from the difference.

If they weren't short of money, they wouldn't be slowly setting up a stall here to sell their wares; selling to shops for recycling would save both time and effort.

There's no need to go through the trouble of setting up a stall here.

After a pause, Lin Yang finally decided to buy the stall owner's items.

Although he didn't want to be too high-profile or attract attention, the price offered by this person was simply too tempting.

There's no need to slack off and miss out on this batch of high-quality, low-priced items.

Seeing that Lin Yang had bought everything, the stall owner smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I wish you a smooth cultivation journey and a breakthrough soon!"

After saying that, he packed up his stall and left.

Lin Yang smiled. This stall owner was quite interesting. He had just bought things from the other three stall owners, but he hadn't heard such flattering words from them.

He felt the deal was worthwhile.

It not only saved money but also brought a small emotional boost.

Afterwards, Lin Yang and Zhao Hu also left. After leaving Zuichunlou, Lin Yang made a point of observing the surroundings and found that no one was chasing after them.

It is clear that although he had spent lavishly in the back hall and attracted some attention, it was not to the point that people would disregard the risks and take action against him.

The two returned to the restaurant.

Lin Yang asked, "Brother Zhao Hu, how much longer do you intend to stay in Bixia City?"

Zhao Hu replied, "Brother Lin Yang, we'll probably be staying here for another two or three years. What's wrong?"

"I'd like to return to Xiwu City with you later, is that alright?" Lin Yang then asked.

Zhao Hu was a little surprised: "You've made up your mind?"

“Well, this is the territory of the Ancient Void Clan after all, it would be better to go back to Xiwu City.” Lin Yang nodded.

Zhao Hu nodded: "That's no problem at all. I'll let you know when we get back."

“Alright, then I’ll stay in the restaurant for the next two or three years to cultivate and wait for my return,” Lin Yang said.

Zhao Hu responded.

Lin Yang just bought so many resources; it's time for him to start cultivating.

……

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Zhao Hu and the other members of the Zhao family did not disturb Lin Yang.

Lin Yang also did not leave the room.

That day, Zhao Hu knocked on the door: "Brother Lin Yang, we are about to return home."

Lin Yang immediately stepped forward: "Are we returning today?"

"Yes, we're leaving now," Zhao Hu said.

Lin Yang followed him downstairs to meet the other members of the Zhao family and casually asked, "Brother Zhao Hu, how's your business? Is it going well?"

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Not bad, nothing went wrong. It's an old business, so there shouldn't be any problems."

During the conversation, we arrived downstairs.

The Zhao family had assembled, and just like when they first entered the city, they headed towards the city gate, preparing to leave.

Once outside the city, Zhao Chen steered the warship out, and everyone boarded.

The warship slowly sailed out of Bixia City and headed towards Xiwu City.

Lin Yang was still assigned to his previous cabin.

If all goes smoothly, the warship will take several decades to fly back from Bixia City to Xiwu City.

It must be said that this trade route was indeed long.

The round trip would take more than a hundred years just to travel there and back.

Of course, this amount of time is not a big deal, but the road is not safe, and it would be very dangerous if an accident happened.

This is also why most ordinary practitioners cannot engage in trade at will.

Lin Yang continued his cultivation in his cabin.

He benefited from the Zhao family's influence this time, so he didn't have to keep an eye on the road himself.

……

Before we knew it, we had traveled almost half the distance.

On this day, Lin Yang was cultivating in his cabin when the warship suddenly stopped.

Lin Yang immediately sensed the abnormality and instantly left the room.

Suddenly, five or six experts at the Nirvana Realm appeared in front of the warship and intercepted it.

One of them was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, two were at the late stage of the Nirvana Realm, and three were at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm.

This strength is undeniably formidable.

Zhao Chen and the Zhao family members had all gathered at the bow of the ship.

Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, please do me this favor!"

He remained very calm.

This is clearly not the first time we've encountered this situation.

The man at the peak of the Nirvana Realm said coldly, "Hand over all the supplies, and I'll spare your life; otherwise, you'll die."

Zhao Chen's face was grim.

The reason why trade was unsafe was because there was a chance of encountering bandits on the road.

If you encounter a gang of robbers that you can handle, that's fine, but if you encounter one like this that you clearly can't handle, then you're in real trouble.

Losing all supplies is a small matter; losing one's life is in danger.

Zhao Chen found it difficult to make a decision immediately.

Upon seeing this, the bandits at the peak of the Nirvana Realm immediately launched an attack.

The protective shield on the warship was instantly subjected to a huge impact and began to shake.

"Second Elder, let's fight them. With the help of the warships, we might have a fighting chance," Zhao Hu said coldly.

Zhao Chen sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's just hand over the goods. It's just a loss of this shipment, but everyone's lives are more important."

Goods and money can be earned back, but if you lose your life, you lose everything.

Zhao Chen instructed each member of the Zhao family to hand over their spatial rings, preparing to give them to the robbers.

Seeing this, the robbers temporarily stopped their attack.

But when it was Lin Yang's turn, Zhao Chen hesitated a little.

Lin Yang is not a member of the Zhao family, so he has no right to demand that Lin Yang hand over everything.

But if they don't pay, these robbers won't let them go.

Unless, they abandon Lin Yang now and hand him over to these robbers.

Zhao Chen was somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Yang suddenly transmitted his voice and said, "Second Elder, are you sure you can hold off two robbers of the same level?"

Zhao Chen was taken aback, not quite understanding what Lin Yang meant, but quickly replied, "Then naturally there's no problem."

"That's good. Then I'll trouble the Second Elder to hold off those two late-stage Nirvana Realm bandits for a bit," Lin Yang said slowly.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, but this time he understood what Lin Yang meant, and immediately widened his eyes and said:
"What do you want to do? The other side has a peak Nirvana Realm expert. Even if I can deal with those two late-stage experts, I can't stop that peak expert."

Lin Yang didn't say much, only saying, "I have my own way."

Having said that, he looked at the peak Nirvana Realm bandit and immediately made his move.

When he was at the Dao Fire Realm, he was able to kill enemies across different levels.

It is still possible to do this in the Nirvana Realm.

He is currently at the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm and is approaching the late stage of the Nirvana Realm. Dealing with a peak Nirvana Realm opponent is not a problem at all.

Lin Yang acted decisively.

The guy at the peak of the Nirvana Realm was even a little taken aback.

His astonished expression clearly showed that he never expected Lin Yang, who seemed to be only at the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm, to dare to attack him.

But the next moment, he sneered: "Overestimating yourself, you're practically courting death!"

With those words, he struck out with a palm, aiming straight at Lin Yang, without even using a magic weapon.

Clearly, he was absolutely confident that he could easily crush Lin Yang.

however.

A silvery-white light flashed in the void, and his palm was instantly pierced through.

A seven-colored flower then appeared and bloomed.

A vast amount of Dao power spread out and enveloped his body in an instant.

Before he could even groan for his pierced hand, his face turned pale.

He felt a deadly threat!

"This power... wait, aren't you at the mid-stage of Nirvana Realm? You've been hiding your cultivation level?!"

He exclaimed in horror.

Their figures were completely enveloped and submerged by the seven-colored flowers.

In an instant, the entire arena fell into dead silence. (End of Chapter)
