Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

The guards of the caravan were dressed in uniform, holding weapons, and looking around vigilantly.

Jiang Qiong and the other two stopped and waited for the caravan to approach.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a shrewd and capable look in his eyes.

When he saw Jiang Qiong and the other two, he was startled for a moment, then he smiled friendly, pulled the reins, and dismounted.

"Three friends, you look like you have just been through a fierce battle?" the middle-aged man asked in a low and loud voice.

Jiang Qiong politely bowed and responded, "That's right. We encountered a group of bandits on the way. Fortunately, the three of us worked together to repel them. I wonder where you are going, brother?"

The middle-aged man heard this and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He also bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "I see, the three of you are very powerful. We are going to the place where the Immortal Alliance Grand Meeting is held. This event is held once every hundred years. Many immortal cultivators will go there. It will be very lively and maybe we can encounter many opportunities."

"The Immortal Alliance's grand gathering?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Nan Fengxue's eyes. "We have never heard of it. I wonder what is so special about this grand gathering?"

The middle-aged man introduced it with great interest: "This Immortal Alliance Grand Meeting is a major event in the world of immortal cultivation. It is held every hundred years. At that time, immortal cultivators from all sides gather together to not only have wonderful fighting competitions, but also to show their respective magical powers;"

"There are also auctions of rare magic weapons, secret manuals of cultivation techniques, and natural treasures. There are also lectures given by seniors from the Immortal Alliance to share their cultivation experiences and insights. For us cultivators, this is a rare opportunity to learn and exchange, and it is also a good time to obtain precious resources."

Jiang Qiong and the other two were moved after hearing this. They knew that every opportunity on the path of cultivation could be the key to a breakthrough.

This Immortal Alliance event sounds like it is full of opportunities and challenges. If they can participate, it may help them take their practice to a higher level.

"I wonder if we can travel with your caravan? This way, we can take care of each other on the road." Jiang Qiong asked sincerely.

The middle-aged man laughed heartily: "Of course, it is an honor for our caravan to travel with three strong men."

So, Jiang Qiong and the other two joined the caravan.

Along the way, they had a great time chatting with everyone in the caravan, talking about everything from the caravan's business dealings to the strange stories in the world of immortal cultivation.

During the conversation, Jiang Qiong and the other two gained a deeper understanding of the Immortal Alliance Event, and their expectations grew stronger.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the venue of the Immortal Alliance event.

This is a huge valley where countless tents and pavilions have already been built. It is bustling with people coming and going.

The air was filled with fluctuations of various spiritual powers, and the lights of various rare treasures flickered in it, making people dazzled.

Jiang Qiong and the other two said goodbye to the caravan and stepped into this bustling area. They first came to the auction site of magic weapons and skills.

The auction venue was extremely spacious, with exquisite chairs placed around it and a huge auction table in the middle.

The auctioneer stood on the stage, holding precious magic weapons and secret manuals in his hands, introducing their origins and effects in detail.

The immortal cultivators in the audience placed bids one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Jiang Qiong and the other two were also infected by the warm atmosphere. They carefully observed each auction item, secretly estimating their value in their hearts.

Among them, a set of skills called "Spiritual Insights" caught Jiang Qiong's attention.

It is said that after successfully practicing this technique, one can have the ability to see through everything, which is of great help to practitioners in finding spiritual veins, breaking formations, etc.

As soon as the auctioneer finished his introduction, bids began to come one after another from the audience.

Jiang Qiong's heart moved. He knew very well that this martial arts book was of great significance to his own practice, so he also joined the bidding.

After a fierce competition, Jiang Qiong finally bought "The Secret of the Spiritual Wisdom" at a high price.

He carefully put the secret manual of martial arts into his storage bag, his heart filled with joy.

After auctioning the items, they came to the venue for the magic fighting competition.

This is a huge arena, surrounded by spectators.

On the stage, two cultivators were fighting fiercely, with all kinds of spells flashing and gazing at the audience below.

Nan Fengxue saw this wonderful fighting scene, and her eyes flickered with eagerness: "Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana, I want to participate in this fighting competition, what do you think?"

Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana looked at each other and nodded in agreement: "Okay, this is also a rare opportunity for training. We will cheer for you."

Nan Fengxue walked onto the stage confidently. Her opponent was a tall male cultivator.

When the male cultivator saw that Nan Fengxue was a woman, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Little girl, you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass yourself here."

Nan Fengxue snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's still uncertain who will win or lose!" After that, the Youhan sword in her hand shone brightly, and an icy air instantly filled the entire arena.

When the male cultivator saw this, his expression changed slightly. He did not dare to be careless and immediately took out his magic weapon - a huge battle axe, and chopped towards Nan Fengxue.

Nan Fengxue flashed and easily avoided the attack. At the same time, she cast an exquisite ice spell, and ice spikes shot towards the male cultivator like sharp arrows.

The male cultivator swung his battle axe to block the ice spikes one by one, but a few of them still grazed the corners of his clothes, leaving a few ice marks on his clothes.

He was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Nan Fengxue to be so powerful.

Nan Fengxue took advantage of the male cultivator's distraction and exerted her full strength. The icy air on the Youhan Sword became increasingly intense, and the surrounding air was frozen into frost.

She stabbed the male cultivator in the chest with her sword, and the male cultivator quickly blocked it with his battle axe. The Youhan sword stabbed the battle axe, making a crisp sound, and an ice-blue crack quickly spread on the battle axe.

The male cultivator was terrified. He didn't expect Nan Fengxue's attack to be so fierce.

He pushed the battle axe hard, knocking Nan Fengxue back, and at the same time took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

In an instant, his aura became more powerful and his injuries recovered quickly.

"Hmph, you have some skills, but you will still lose today!" the male cultivator sneered.

Nan Fengxue was not affected by the male cultivator's words. With a determined light in her eyes, she gathered her spiritual power again and prepared to launch an attack. Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana cheered for her from the audience. They believed that Nan Fengxue would definitely win.

During the fierce fight, Nan Fengxue gradually found the male cultivator's weakness.

She performed an exquisite sword technique, and the cold sword was like a blue lightning, instantly piercing the male cultivator's shoulder.

The male cultivator let out a scream and the battle axe in his hand fell to the ground.

Nan Fengxue took the opportunity to launch another attack and knocked the male cultivator off the stage. There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, Nan Fengxue won!

When she walked off the stage, Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana hurried over to congratulate her.

"Nan Fengxue, you're awesome!" Lang Nana said excitedly.

"Yes, this battle was really exciting!" Jiang Qiong also praised.

Nan Fengxue's face was filled with the joy of victory: "This is all thanks to your support and encouragement. Without you, I would not have won so easily."

Jiang Qiong raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and waved his hand, his expression gentle: "Don't be modest, this is all because of your own strength. Let's go and look around, maybe we can encounter other opportunities."

After that, the three of them walked slowly along the bustling market street.

There are rows of stalls on both sides of the street, filled with a wide variety of rare and precious treasures. The cultivators' shouting and bargaining are intertwined, making the street very lively, and the air is filled with excitement and anticipation.

When they arrived at a stall, several objects with an ancient charm attracted their attention.

The stall owner stood behind the stall, introducing these so-called "ancient treasures" to the people around him eloquently. His exaggerated gestures and passionate tone seemed to be telling thrilling legends.

Jiang Qiong had just glanced at it casually and was about to leave, but the stall owner's enthusiastic greeting stopped her in her tracks.

Several of you are obviously experts with unique vision. These are real ancient treasures. If you miss them, you may never see them again in your life!"

The stall owner had a huge smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into crescents, and his enthusiasm was so enthusiastic that it was hard to refuse.

Jiang Qiong couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he stepped forward and asked politely, "How do you plan to bid for these treasures?"

When the stall owner heard someone asking for the price, he instantly became alert, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He quickly picked up a bronze mirror engraved with mysterious runes and introduced it with great excitement: "This 'Universal Mirror' has the magical effect of seeing through the secrets of heaven. It only costs 30,000 spirit stones. It is absolutely worth the money. You will make a profit if you buy it!"

Jiang Qiong frowned slightly. He was skeptical about the origin of the bronze mirror, but he still patiently bargained with the stall owner.

The two of them went back and forth, neither of them giving in. After a fierce verbal battle, the stall owner still refused to reduce the price significantly.

In the end, Jiang Qiong felt that the price was too high and the cost-effectiveness was seriously inconsistent, so she shook her head slightly, turned around and prepared to leave with Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana.

However, before they had taken a few steps, a short, furtive man suddenly emerged from the crowd and blocked their way.

This man has a hunched back, as if his back has been bent by the burden of life. Having lived in dark corners for a long time, he looks very thin.

His face was densely covered with pockmarks, like rough sandpaper, and his pair of green bean-sized eyes rolled around, revealing cunning and greed, which made people alert at first sight.

He was wearing a tattered black robe with patches on top of patches and several holes at the corners. As he moved, the robe swayed in the breeze, making him look particularly shabby.

"Dear guests, please stay!" The man's voice was shrill and hoarse, like the sound of an old bellows, which was particularly harsh in the noisy market.

As he spoke, he carefully took out a black box from his arms, with a flattering smile on his face, "I have a real ancient treasure here, which is definitely a hundred times stronger than the one that guy just had. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Jiang Qiong and the other two looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance. Nan Fengxue frowned slightly and asked coldly, "Did you get this treasure legitimately?"

The man waved his hands quickly, his smile becoming more flattering: "Don't worry, young lady. I found this treasure by chance in an ancient ruin. It is absolutely genuine and authentic!"

As he spoke, he slowly opened the box. Inside lay a jade bead emitting a faint light. There were some strange patterns engraved on the jade bead. It did look quite old, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and he circulated the spiritual power in his body, trying to find out the details of this jade pendant.

However, as soon as his spiritual power touched the jade, he sensed a strange fluctuation.

He sneered inwardly, this was not an ancient treasure at all, it was clearly a carefully forged fake.

He raised his head calmly and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need this thing."

When the man heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by an anxious look, and his voice trembled a little: "Dear guests, please take a closer look, this is really a rare treasure! The price is negotiable, negotiable!"

Jiang Qiong shook her head again without hesitation, firmly refusing. But this man was like a sticky candy that couldn't be shaken off, and he kept following them all the way, muttering: "Gentlemen, please think about it again. If you miss such a good thing, you will never have it again..."

Jiang Qiong and the other two quickened their pace, trying to get rid of him, but this man kept chasing them and they couldn't get rid of him.

Finally, Jiang Qiong was annoyed by him and stopped abruptly. Her eyes were as cold as ice and she said coldly: "I said, we don't buy it. If you continue to pester us, don't blame us for being rude!"

The man showed no fear, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said viciously: "Humph, you have to buy it today even if you don't want to!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly blew a sharp whistle, and in an instant, a group of people quickly surrounded him from all directions.

Each of these people was of burly build, with fierce looks on their faces. They held various weapons in their hands that flashed coldly in the sunlight. They surrounded Jiang Qiong and the other two.

The leader was a big man with a face full of flesh and bulging muscles on his body. He looked as if he was about to break free from the constraints of his clothes, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

He held a big knife in his hand. The blade was extremely sharp and flashed a cold light under the sunlight, as if telling of its bloodthirsty nature.

"Boy, if you don't buy this treasure today, don't even think about leaving alive!"

The big man threatened fiercely. Jiang Qiong's face darkened instantly. He never expected that this man would be so bold as to force buying and selling in the territory of the Immortal Alliance.

He quietly circulated his spiritual power, his aura surging slightly, ready to deal with this crisis at any time. (End of this chapter)
