Daily random keywords, I survive until immortality.

Before we knew it, it was already 9 PM.

A middle-aged man dressed in a brown robe slowly walked in. Unlike the other cultivators, he did not cover his face and calmly came to the center of the group.

Yu Huai opened his eyes, looked at the person, and was slightly surprised.

This was because the person's cultivation level was the Great Perfection of the tenth level of Qi Refining, and this was the first time he had ever seen a cultivator with a perfect cultivation level.

He must be the initiator of this trade fair!

Yu Huai pondered.

All the monks present turned their attention to him.

The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said:

"I am Bai Song, the head of the Bai family. I am very pleased that you fellow Daoists have come to participate in my family's trade fair."

The Bai family?

This must be the Qi-cultivating family behind Zhuli Pavilion.

No wonder this trade fair is being held here.

Yu Huai nodded and listened to Bai Song continue.

"In that case, let's not waste any more words."

After clapping his hands, Bai Song looked around and said in a deep voice:

"The rules of this trade fair start with me. Each person can take turns bringing out an item to trade, or they can bring out what they need. They can exchange spirit stones or spirit objects. If no fellow Daoist is interested, then the next person will take over."

"Until you fellow Daoists have no more needs."

These rules are very simple; almost every trade fair follows this same procedure.

"Today's trade fair is hosted by my family, so let me start by offering my humble opinion!"

Having said that, Yu Huai saw Bai Song lightly pat his storage bag, and a small jade bottle appeared in his palm. He looked around and smiled smugly:

"This is a Jade Marrow Pill, specially made for breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining. Its medicinal power is pure. I bought it from a Qingxuan disciple. Now I will sell it for spirit stones as a prize. The highest bidder wins."

The appearance of this pill caused a stir in the arena.

After all, most of the cultivators here are in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, so how could they not be excited to have pills that can help them break through?

Yu Huai watched all of this without showing any emotion.

He has a cheat code; if he's lucky, he can get the key to breaking through bottlenecks.

There's no need to fight over this Jade Marrow Pill.

And he didn't have the spirit stone to compete for it.

"I'll offer 20 spirit stones!"

"You dare to bid a mere 20 spirit stones? You have no shame! I'll bid 30 spirit stones."

……

Yu Huai looked on with slight alarm.

This Jade Marrow Pill is much more valuable than the Qi Gathering Pill.

Ultimately, the pill was bought for 51 spirit stones by a mid-stage cultivator in brocade robes, who was probably a member of a Qi Refining family.

Yu Huai glanced at him briefly, taking in the other person's smug expression.

After the pill was sold, Bai Song had his maid hand it over to the person, while he sat in the middle of the crowd and looked at the late-stage black-robed cultivator at the beginning of the first row on the left.

The late-stage cultivator being watched was taken aback. After a moment's thought, he stood up, took out a booklet, and said:

"This is an ancient body-refining method called the Great Chun Body-Forging Technique. It is biased towards the wood and earth elements and is divided into three levels, corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages of Qi cultivation."

"If any fellow cultivator is interested, we can trade spirit stones or exchange them for spirit items of equal value."

"As for the spirit stones, let's set it at 40 spirit stones!"

After speaking, the cultivator waited quietly.

Some cultivators shook their heads, while others pondered.

But no one made a bid.

Ancient methods of body refinement?

Yu Huai was actually somewhat tempted.

In the past few days, several entries related to body refinement appeared, but since he didn't have any body refinement techniques, he could only watch helplessly as the entries were refreshed and disappeared.

Now that a body-refining technique with a focus on wood has appeared, how could he not be tempted?

"Fellow Daoist, what you've presented is an ancient method, yet you're asking for 40 spirit stones. Isn't that a bit too high?"

A voice rang out, and it was none other than a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who spoke.

Ha ha.

The black-robed cultivator merely chuckled and remained silent.

"Senior, I'm willing to offer a new fire-attribute technique in exchange. Is that acceptable?"

Yu Huai finally spoke up.

He still has the martial arts technique he got from Old Wang, and today is the perfect opportunity to use it.

There wasn't much surprise in the room when someone spoke up; some people just glanced at Yu Huai.

We are all mid-stage cultivators.

There's no need to care what others buy or exchange.

Moreover, it's an ancient body-refining method.

"Of course, but I need to review the technique you mentioned."

The black-robed cultivator glanced at Yu Huai with interest and nodded.

Yu Huai took out the cultivation manual and handed it to the maid.

After a quick glance, the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator nodded. This method was a new one, and its price was much higher than the ancient method. In the end, he still made a profit.

Therefore, he exchanged it with Yu Huai.

And when she looked at Yu Huai, her eyesight had improved.

This left Yu Huai, who was looking through the "penetrating eye," quite puzzled.

Could it be that he's got his eye on me?

Yu Huai secretly kept a watchful eye on things.

However, Yu Huai was in a good mood after accepting the Great Chun Body Tempering Technique.

Not only did they take away Old Wang's martial arts technique, they also exchanged it for a body-refining technique.

If both parties feel they've gained something, then it's a win-win situation.

After one person finishes, it's time for the next one.

In the following transactions, Yu Huai did not make any moves. Instead, he watched with curiosity as other cultivators took out or requested spiritual items, which broadened his horizons. He also heard some interesting news about the outside world.

In no time, it was Yu Huai's turn.

Faced with Bai Song's gaze, which indicated he had reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, Yu Huai felt a pang of fear and quickly stood up.

But he didn't have anything to sell.

As for the mid-grade nail, he had no intention of using it here.

After a slight hesitation, Yu Huai spoke:

"I am a practitioner of asceticism, and I have vowed to try to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this life, but I have no understanding of it. I am seeking a book on the basics of Foundation Establishment, and I am willing to exchange it for magic."

Hahaha.

"Young friend, your ambition is admirable. I happen to have a book here called 'Ordinary Foundation Building Essentials,' which you may exchange for it."

Yu Huai looked toward the person who had spoken and was surprised to see that it was the late-stage cultivator who had just traded cultivation techniques with him.

Yu Huai felt a sense of unease.

But seeing that no one else spoke up, he couldn't very well refuse a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, so he could only nod.

Yu Huai then used another spell from Old Wang.

A body-refining technique and a foundation-building guide.

This is what Yu Huai gained from this trade fair.

I didn't find any treasures.

Since he found the Silver Ring, the Luck attribute hasn't brought him any good items.

Fortunately, the "luck" attribute still has some effect in some situations that require luck.

Yu Huai did not speak again at the subsequent trade fairs.

Waiting for the trade fair to end.

Time slipped away with each transaction of goods.

The trade fair ended quickly.

Night had fallen.

"Young friend, please wait a moment."

Just as Yu Huai stepped out of the Bamboo Pavilion, the black-robed cultivator who had previously made the deal with him suddenly called out to him.

Could it be that he's going to attack him in the marketplace?

Has the market really gotten this chaotic?

Yu Huai looked at the man warily.

He already held the high-grade talisman in his hand.

Ha ha.

"Young friend, there is no need to worry. I am Yao Mai, the current head of the Yao family, a Qi Refining family, and I have been based in Luofengfang for decades."

"I stopped you today, young friend, because I saw that you are a person who practices asceticism. It seems that I saw my past self in you, so I wanted to befriend you."

Yao Mai looked at Yu Huai, who had already become wary, and noticed the talisman in his hand. His eyelids twitched, and he spoke up.

Should someone in the late stage of Qi Refining befriend him?

Yu Huai didn't believe such a thing was true.

He immediately refused.

"Thank you for your high regard, senior. I am used to being alone and do not like to make too many friends. I hope you will understand."

"Very well, you may leave now!"

Seeing that Yu Huai refused, Yao Mai waved his hand.

He's read too many vernacular novels.

He sees everyone as a chosen one from a storybook, but he just wants to find a powerful backer for his family, what's wrong with that?

Yu Huai had no idea what Yao Mai was thinking. He still had doubts in his heart, but he did not linger. He left directly, but instead of going straight home, he wandered around the market to prevent anyone from following him.
