Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 148 Sufficient Funds

After Xiao Li and his two companions entered the pavilion, they were personally greeted and said something to the leading elder, Tianyin, before continuing forward.

After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a large bronze door. The old man Tianyin skillfully pushed the bronze door open and then went inside.

Xiao Li and Yun Yun followed Elder Tianyin through the bronze gate, where an ancient hall, roughly half the size of a plaza, came into view.

Inside the ancient hall, there were many stone chairs, and at this moment, many people were sitting on these chairs. However, like the group, these people were covered by black cloaks, and no one knew their identities.

Of course, there were exceptions; a few people sat there openly without wearing cloaks.

After Xiao Li and his two companions entered, they attracted some attention, but these gazes did not linger for long.

The Heavenly Sound Elder didn't react much, as if he was used to it. He walked directly to a row of relatively secluded seats and sat down. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and the surrounding space subtly distorted.

"There are many powerful individuals here. I've activated a spatial barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping on our conversation. It's always best to be cautious when traveling. Let's wait a bit; the trade fair should begin soon."

Xiao Li nodded. When you're out and about, you should listen to the elders. They're always right. He's just a mere five-star Dou Zun and a mere eighth-grade advanced alchemist. He's weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Yun Yun glanced around at the powerful figures: "The people here are all so strong. Dou Zun experts, who are rarely seen in Zhongzhou, are so common here."

The Heavenly Sound Elder smiled, placed one hand on the ground, and began to probe the powerful individuals present. The Sound Valley's unique detection method transmits the pulse, breathing, and the rhythm of the battle qi circulating on the ground to identify the person.

Of course, the caster who performs this kind of detection technique must have a broad enough knowledge of the characteristics of various forces and powerful individuals.

This detection technique can be said to be one of the core inheritances of the Sound Valley. It is a special detection technique created by the Sound Saint, which uses the frequency transmitted from the other party's body to identify the other party's identity.

As time passed, three hours quietly went by, and figures dressed in black cloaks entered the ancient hall one after another, until there were over a hundred people in the hall.

"Hmm?" The old man Tianyin opened his eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

"Elder Su, did you gain anything?" Xiao Li asked.

The old man Tianyin said somewhat irritably, "Just a few old acquaintances, I didn't expect that guy to come too. And judging from the frequency emanating from him, he seems to be seriously injured. But that's not the key point, how did this old guy break through to the Dou Sheng realm?"

Who is it?

The Heavenly Sound Elder sneered, "That old fellow from Burning Flame Valley, Huo Yun, that old fellow has actually broken through to the Dou Sheng realm! But he seems to have suffered a serious injury, though it's been suppressed by his powerful cultivation."

Xiao Li murmured, "Burning Flame Valley."

Boom!

Suddenly, a melodious and clear bell rang out, echoing through the quiet ancient hall. Then, in the center of the hall, an old man with white hair and beard but a vigorous spirit slowly appeared in everyone's sight from the distorted space.

Xiao Li looked down at the old man, and in his perception, this aura was comparable to that of Tian Yinzi.

"Who is this, Elder Su?" Xiao Li asked.

The Heavenly Sound Elder said, "This is Kong Xuanzi, the sect leader of Kong Xuan Sect. He is a peak Eighth Rank Dou Zun. This old fellow has a very sharp eye and has seen countless treasures in his life. I didn't expect that he would be the one to host this space trading fair."

"Hiss~ Peak of the Eighth Rank Dou Zun."

Kong Xuanzi glanced around the hall and then said with a smile, "It's another Space Trade Fair. There are many old friends and new friends here. Some of you know me, and some of you don't. So let's get to know each other today. I am Kong Xuanzi."

Xiao Li tilted his head: "Elder Su, this Kong Xuanzi has a very unconventional personality."

The Heavenly Sound Elder nodded: "Indeed, among the three major sects, Earthwalker Old Ghost has the most fiery temper and hosts the trade fair quite quickly. Kong Xuanzi, although old, has the most unconventional personality. His trade fair is slow, but also the most interesting."

The old man from Baoshan is somewhere in between, neither too fast nor too slow. Actually, I prefer the old man from Baoshan to preside over this.

Kong Xuanzi rambled on and on, and many powerful figures in the hall clenched their fists. Perhaps sensing that something was amiss in the atmosphere of the hall, Kong Xuanzi smiled.

"Oh dear, it seems some friends don't like this old man. Well then, let's begin. Everyone here has no patience at all. First, let's look at the first item of this trade fair!"

Within the distorted spatial barrier, Kong Xuanzi swept his hand across the void in front of him, and a pale white corpse appeared in everyone's sight. The corpse was quite large, and it looked like it hadn't been dead for long. There were still traces of blood and some remaining feathers on the corpse.

The most eye-catching feature was the pair of enormous wings, which were quite peculiar and faintly emitted the sounds of wind and thunder.

"The remains of a demonic beast?" Xiao Li murmured, looking at the corpse.

The old man Tianyin smiled but didn't say anything.

Kong Xuanzi, standing in the center of the hall, said with a smile, "Everyone, the first item is the remains of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, a peak seventh-tier cultivator about to enter the eighth tier. The remains are intact, and the demonic core and essence blood inside have not been touched."

As you all know, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix is ​​a treasure trove. Its seventh-tier peak magic core and seventh-tier peak essence blood are both precious treasures. In addition, its wings have been refined into a flying combat technique, making it unmatched in speed among its peers!

"This is practically an essential treasure for murderers and escapers! The owner of the corpse wants two Rank 8 Four-Color Pills. After evaluation, this Heavenly Demon Phoenix's remains are worth this price. So, if you're interested, please make an offer. This might be your last chance!"

After Kong Xuanzi finished speaking, there was no noisy competition in the hall; instead, it was unusually quiet.

Xiao Li rested his chin on his right hand, crossed his legs, and pondered whether or not to get a Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bone Wing. There were methods for refining flying combat techniques in the Sound Valley. It would be good to have wings to give him an extra chance to survive. Moreover, this Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse was complete, with both its demon core and essence blood. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good deal.

"I want it!"

Xiao Li said loudly, then threw two jade bottles at Kong Xuanzi.

Kong Xuanzi took the jade bottle, opened the cap, and glanced at it: "Hmm~ Not bad. Are there any other friends who want to bid? If not, this corpse belongs to this new friend."

The hall was completely silent. The powerful figures who had initially been interested in the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix naturally gave up their desire to bid after hearing that Xiao Li had won the bid.

The corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix is ​​good, but it's only at the peak of the seventh rank. Even with its demonic core and essence blood, plus these wings, two eighth-grade four-colored pills are enough. Anything more would be too much.

The powerful individuals who can participate in the Space Trade Fair are not fools. Unless there are special circumstances, most people will choose to give up when the items they bring out are far greater than what they want to trade, since eighth-grade pills are rare.

Not everyone can refine a batch of Grade 8 pills like Xiao Li does when they're in short supply. Behind him is the Yin Valley, which collects various medicinal herbs specifically for Xiao Li. This is the advantage of a powerful force.

Besides, Xiao Li had even enlisted his teacher Wang Ming to help him refine pills for three months in preparation for this space trade fair, so they had a sufficient stockpile of pills!
