Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Investing in Yun Danzi is investing in yourself; you will benefit from the feedback from his cultivation.

Jiang Chuan was pondering how to make an offer.

at this time.

A voice rang out from the side: "I'll offer a Life Creation Pill."

Life-Generating Elixir, a mid-grade healing elixir.

That does suit the needs of a short, stout monk.

However, their values ​​differ greatly.

It's completely unequal.

Jiang Chuan turned his head and saw that the person who made the offer was tall and thin, and was also wrapped in a cloak.

The man seemed to realize his offer was too low, and added:

"Plus 5,000 contribution points."

A voice came from another direction: "I can also offer a Life Creation Pill, plus 6,000 contribution points."

Jiang Chuan didn't rush to speak.

He lowered his eyelids and gently stroked the body of a jade bottle in his palm with his thumb.

He was initially worried that directly trading with pills would indirectly expose his identity as a pill master.

Now it seems...

It seems he's not the only one here who knows how to refine pills.

The tall, thin cultivator spoke again: "Two Life Creation Pills, both of four quality, plus two Jade Dew Condensation Pills. This is the highest price I can offer."

The short, stout monk was still holding the crystal bead.

Not a word.

They were clearly not satisfied with the offer.

He slowly shook his head, and began to retract his hand, seemingly intending to put away the crystal bead and leave.

"A Seven-Patterned Jade Bone Pill."

Jiang Chuan finally spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire place. More than a dozen figures turned their heads at the same time, their gazes all falling on the stone table in the corner.

The short, stout monk suddenly stopped, and a voice tinged with disbelief came from under his hood.

"How many lines!?"

Without wasting any words, Jiang Chuan poured the pill out of the jade bottle.

A pale golden light flowed across the surface of the pill, and seven clear pill patterns appeared and disappeared in the light.

The pill hovered three inches above his palm.

The strong medicinal aroma caused the people at the surrounding stone tables to straighten their backs instinctively.

The short, stout monk remained silent for a moment.

He then decisively pushed the crystal bead toward Jiang Chuan.

He reached out and took the pill, quickly examining its quality, his voice slightly hurried:

"make a deal!"

The Mysterious Muscle Jade Bone Pill is a top-grade healing elixir, and its value is roughly equivalent to a fifth-grade spiritual energy.

Seven patterns

This is an exaggerated quality that none of the people present could even imagine!

This pill is enough to transform a cultivator, rid them of all their ailments, and even permanently improve their cultivation aptitude by a small amount!

Who among those present wouldn't be moved?!

Jiang Chuan took the crystal bead containing the Crimson Qi into his hand.

"etc."

A figure suddenly spoke from the stone table beside them.

His voice had been magically altered, making his age impossible to discern; his tone was low, yet it carried a subtle but palpable sense of oppression.

"Fellow Daoist, I am also quite interested in this Mysterious Muscle Jade Bone Pill. I wonder if you would be so reluctant as to part with it?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "Sorry, I only want to exchange this Bing Fire spiritual energy."

The man was silent for a moment, then didn't press the matter further, simply nodding slightly before falling silent again.

The transaction continued for about half an hour.

No one else stepped forward to display the treasure, but the atmosphere did not cool down.

As Jiang Chuan was pondering whether the gathering should end there, he saw the host walk to the center of the room again, raise his hand and gesture for everyone to be quiet.

He calmly said, "Next is the free trading period. You may exchange information and place orders as you see fit. The rules remain the same: all transaction details must be reviewed and confirmed by me. If any information is found to be false or untrue, you will bear the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the room stood up.

The man was burly, and even the large cloak couldn't hide the thick outline of his shoulders and back. His voice was rough and hoarse: "I know the whereabouts of a top-grade spiritual material that is about to mature, the Jade Condensation Fruit. It will be ready to be harvested in three months at most. This information can be sold for one hundred contribution points, or exchanged for information of equal value."

The host raised his hand, signaling him to present the jade slip.

The man didn't hesitate and took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over.

The host probed in with his divine sense.

After a moment, he nodded slightly: "The intelligence is accurate. Those who are interested may come forward."

After a brief silence, people began to get up and walk toward the stone table, handing over contribution points or jade slips.

Jiang Chuan made no move. Although the Jade-Condensing Fruit was a top-grade spiritual material, it was incompatible with the fire magic he cultivated, so it wasn't worth wasting money on it.

Another person stood up, his voice high-pitched: "I am interested in purchasing a high-grade spiritual weapon that is primarily for offensive purposes. If any fellow Daoist can forge it, or has one in hand, we can discuss the details."

The host checked the payment he had prepared.

He nodded.

The man then stepped aside and waited for interested parties to come forward and make contact.

Jiang Chuan saw this and his heart stirred slightly.

He couldn't forge a high-grade spiritual weapon, but this person's behavior reminded him.

You can do more than just buy things here.

They can also take on commissions.

He currently refines pills in the Jiajiu Pill Room, earning a meager living through hard work. However, if he takes on extra side jobs, that would be a way to make money.

Just then, several more people got up, some selling information, others issuing commissions.

The content is diverse.

From the origin of spiritual materials to clues about secret realms, from alchemy commissions to missing person notices, some people have even offered high rewards for the head of an outer disciple.

The host checked each item one by one, and once everything was confirmed to be correct, the process was streamlined and efficient, without a single unnecessary word.

At this time.

A figure stood up from the corner.

The man was not tall, dressed in a gray robe with a few strands of silver hair peeking out from the edge of the hood. His voice was old but full of energy: "I have the latest intelligence from the Great Qian Dynasty in the Southern Region here, covering the movements of the major families, changes in the court, and the ins and outs of several recent major events. It is priced at two hundred contribution points, or in exchange for intelligence of equal value."

Southern Region.

Jiang Chuan's eyelids twitched slightly.

His understanding of the Heavenly Chapter Realm was mostly based on Yun Danzi's fragmented observations.

He has at least figured out some of the situation with the Northern Immortal Alliance, but he is completely clueless about the Southern Region.

What are the backgrounds of the Ye family, the Biyue Sect, and the Qingmu Cliff?

What was the structure of the Great Qian Dynasty?

These ones.

He'll have to figure it out sooner or later.

Two hundred contribution points are nothing to him now.

The host took the jade slip from the old man and probed it with his divine sense.

This time, he took significantly longer to examine the information than before, his brow furrowing slightly as if he were verifying the authenticity of certain details.

After a while, he withdrew his divine sense, returned the jade slip to the old man, and nodded to everyone:

"The intelligence is basically true. Those who are interested may come forward."

Jiang Chuan stood up and walked towards the stone table.

Three other people were also involved in the operation.

Obviously.

He wasn't the only one interested in the Southern Region.

The old man was not surprised to see someone coming. He took out several replicas of light blue jade slips from his sleeve and placed them on the stone table one by one.

Jiang Chuan took out two hundred contribution points and pushed them over. The old man nodded slightly and pushed a jade slip in front of him.

Jiang Chuan accepted the jade slip.

Look closely.

The contents were much more detailed than he had imagined.

The text, spanning several thousand words, covers the basic structure of the southern region.

The Great Qian Dynasty placed the imperial family at the top, and its subordinate system consisted of eight circuits and twenty-four prefectures.

The area is home to numerous prominent families and sects.

Among them, the Ye family, the Biyue Sect, the Qingmu Cliff, and the Daowen Sect are all top-tier forces that dominate their respective regions, each with a Foundation Establishment True Person in charge.

The Ye family.

Jiang Chuan's gaze lingered on those two words for a moment.

According to intelligence reports, the current head of the Ye family, Ye Wensheng, is already a Great True Person at the third stage of Foundation Establishment, with unfathomable cultivation.

However, in recent years, the Ye family seems to have declined, with several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan falling and reincarnating one after another.

He has not yet awakened the wisdom of his past life.

Now, Ip Man-sang is the sole breadwinner of the business, and his situation in Qingzhou is quite precarious.

Another piece of information, however, concerned Jiang Chuan even more.

Red Lotus Sect.

This sect has only been around for a century in the Southern Region. It acts extremely radically, suppressing powerful families everywhere and even declaring that it wants to overthrow the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty.

What's even stranger is that the imperial court has been turning a blind eye to this all along.

Their ambiguous attitude aroused suspicion.

Seeing that he lingered for a long time, the old man suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist is very interested in the Southern Region? I have a secret about the Southern Region here, the contents of which are quite sensitive. If you are interested, we can discuss it separately."
