Chapter 332 Oh my god, isn’t this similar to my senior brother?
When the old man said this, the young men were immediately frightened and turned pale. They quickly shut their mouths and dared not say a word, as if they were afraid of being heard by the man just now.
Seeing the expressions of these people, the old man smiled and said, "In fact, a great event happened in Yinluo Sect not long ago..."
"What big thing happened in the Yinluo Sect? Can you tell me about it?" At this time, a voice came from behind.
When the young Qi-refining cultivators heard this, they looked up and saw the man who suddenly walked over. They scanned him with their spiritual sense and were immediately trembling with fear. They quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Senior!"
When the smooth-looking old man saw them like this, he immediately knew that there was another senior with profound cultivation behind them.
So, he immediately turned around and said respectfully, "I am honored to meet Senior Ye...Senior Ye!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and secretly glanced at Ye Changsheng. His voice trembled for a moment, and the smooth smile on his face froze. A hint of surprise and shock flashed in his eyes.
"I am not worthy of the title of senior. What do you think, Brother Xiang?" Ye Changsheng looked at the tactful old man with a smile and said meaningfully.
Hearing that the senior with unfathomable cultivation in front of them actually called Old Man Li "Senior Brother Xiang", the young Qi-refining cultivators looked at the two of them in amazement, their eyes darting back and forth, as if they had seen a ghost.
Could this cheerful and smooth-looking old man be a peerless master?
"I don't quite understand what Senior Ye said. Could it be that I look like someone you know?" After the old man rolled his eyes a few times, the strange look on his face disappeared in an instant, and then he said to Ye Changsheng with an apologetic smile.
“Do we still have to hide things from Senior Brother today? We haven’t seen each other for more than two hundred years since we parted in Huangfeng Valley, right?” Ye Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
The unremarkable old man in front of him, who didn't look smiling, was Xiang Zhili, who had participated in the Blood Forbidden Land with Ye Changsheng and others in Huangfeng Valley and came out alive.
At that time, he was considered by almost everyone to be a cannon fodder. However, not only did he come out alive, he also took out several magical herbs, which greatly changed Li Huayuan's attitude towards him.
"The world is so big that nothing is impossible. It seems that there are people who look exactly like me. But you must have made a mistake. My last name is Li, not Xiang. Otherwise, if I could really have some relationship with someone of your status, how could I not admit it?"
"The junior really doesn't dare to deceive the senior, please understand!" The old man denied it and refused to admit that he had anything to do with the name Xiang Zhili.
The corner of Ye Changsheng's eye twitched, and he was speechless looking at this Divine Transformation cultivator who continued to act crazy and stupid in front of him.
He wanted to take action to force Xiang Zhili to use his skills, but then he thought, forget it, there is no need for that.
Shaking his head, Ye Changsheng said: "Since Senior Brother Xiang is unwilling to admit it, it doesn't matter. I believe we will meet again sooner or later!"
After saying that, Ye Changsheng looked at him meaningfully, then turned and left.
A hint of contemplation flashed across the smooth old man's eyes, and then his face was full of smiles. He looked at the frightened Qi-refining disciples beside him and said:
"It seems that this senior mistook me for an old friend of his. Haha, it would be great if I really was one of his old friends!"
"Unfortunately, I dare not lie to a senior of this level , so I can only tell you my identity honestly!"
At this point, the Qi-refining monks slowly recovered from their previous shock.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that what old man Li said was right.
A Qi-refining cultivator rubbed his pale face, smiled bitterly, and said, "I almost thought that you, old man Li, were some peerless master!"
"Yes, we couldn't see clearly the cultivation level of the senior just now, but he was at least a master in the Jindan stage. Old man Li, if you are the senior brother of a master in the Jindan stage, how could you possibly hang out with people like us!" Another person said with a smile.
Thinking back to just now, he found it somewhat funny that he almost mistook this unambitious old man in front of him for a reclusive master.
"Alas, old man Li, there is a reason why you have been able to survive in the world of immortal cultivation and have such outstanding insights. If it were me just now, I might have really pretended to be the senior brother of that senior!"
"Who says it's not true? It would be a huge benefit to have a connection with a senior like that!"
"But if that senior finds out, I'm afraid I'll be dead without a burial place, so it's best to tell everything honestly. Old man Li did the right thing."
…
These Qi-refining monks were discussing with fear on their faces, while the tactful old man was smiling and telling them something with great excitement.
But inadvertently, when no one was paying attention, he muttered quietly: "How come you are practicing so fast?"
On the second day, Ye Changsheng met Bai Yaoyi in front of the auction hall. Seeing the other party's slightly gloomy face, Ye Changsheng's heart moved and asked:
"Looking at the fairy's situation, could it be that the traitor has not been tracked down yet?"
Bai Yaoyi forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Ye. I met someone from the Yinluo Sect yesterday and learned from them that the traitor might have died!"
"Oh? Dead?"
"Well, it should be something that happened in the past few days. The traitor somehow offended someone that the Yinluo Sect was hunting, and then was killed quietly by the other party!"
Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. The person that the Yinluo Sect was chasing must be Han Li without a doubt.
After all, Han Li killed the wife of the Yinluo Sect's leader when he fought with the Mulan people.
I think after he came to Dajin, he was somehow discovered by the people of Yinluo Sect and then was chased by them.
"To be able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator silently, I think this person's strength must be extraordinary!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go in and take a look at the auction!" Bai Yaoyi put away the gloom on her face, revealed a bright smile, and said to Ye Changsheng.
"Okay!" Ye Changsheng nodded, and walked into the auction hall with him calmly.
This fairy probably could never have imagined that the man next to her not only had half a bottle of cold marrow, but also had Qianlan Bingyan and Xutian Ding, things that people from Xiaoji Palace would frantically pursue when they saw them.
…
In the following period of time, Ye Changsheng participated in all the auctions in the next few days, occasionally making a bid once or twice and buying a few items.
At the same time, all the things he sent to the auction house were sold one after another, and finally brought him a profit of about three million spirit stones.
After the auction ended, Ye Changsheng, led by Bai Yaoyi, came to a dark and barren mountain three thousand miles away from Jinjing City.
After arriving here, Bai Yaoyi turned left and right quite skillfully and found a stone wall.
Standing in front of the stone wall, a palm-sized disc flew out from her hand. With a flash of white light, it sank directly into the stone wall and disappeared without a trace.
After a moment, the stone wall suddenly disappeared, revealing a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten feet.
In front of the cave entrance, there were two middle-aged monks in green robes standing there. Both of them were in the late Jindan stage, and one of them was holding Bai Yaoyi's magic plate in his hand.
"It turns out that it is Senior Bai who has arrived. Your face seems unfamiliar. May I ask your name?" The cultivator holding the round magic weapon first bowed to the two of them, then glanced at Ye Changsheng and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"This is Fellow Daoist Ye from overseas. I am his introducer, so there is no problem with my identity." Bai Yaoyi said gently.
"Since Senior Bai is the one who introduced us, there will be no problem. This is the Nascent Soul Level Identity Plate. Senior can use it to participate in this trade fair."
"According to the rules, owning this magic plate requires a payment of 10,000 spirit stones." The green-robed monk politely returned the round plate in his hand to Bai Yaoyi, then took out a similar magic plate and explained to Ye Changsheng.
"The charges are getting more and more severe!" Ye Changsheng complained in his heart, took the magic plate and threw ten thousand spirit stones over.
After getting the magic plate, Ye Changsheng and Bai Yaoyi walked towards a passage.
On the way, Bai Yaoyi said softly: "The identities of those two people just now are quite extraordinary. Brother Ye, do you know who their master is?"
"Hearing what you said now, could it be that they are disciples of some great monk?" Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed and he said with a faint smile.
“Yes, their master is a great cultivator, and not just an ordinary great cultivator. He is Fellow Daoist Yi Xitian, the most mysterious of the four great wandering cultivators. He has advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage many years ago.” Bai Yaoyi said with some emotion.
“Oh? Is it this fellow Taoist? I heard that he and Master Biyue of the Jinghuo Sect are recognized as the cultivators with the greatest hope of advancing to the Divine Transformation stage in the Dajin Dynasty!” Ye Changsheng said with great interest.
“Indeed, it took Zen Master Bi Yue only 400 years to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage. He is also recognized in the world of immortal cultivation as a genius who appears only once in ten thousand years.” Bai Yaoyi nodded and said.
Ye Changsheng looked at her for a few times, chuckled, and said, "If we can get the elixir that Daoist Fellow Fu mentioned this time, I think with your current cultivation level, it is not impossible for you to surpass Zen Master Bi Yue in the future!"
Bai Yaoyi smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shook her head slightly, and said, "I just entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul when I was 400 years old, how can I compare with that genius? But Brother Ye, maybe you can really enter the Spiritualization stage before that person in the future!"
When Ye Changsheng heard this, he thought to himself, it turns out that this fairy is already five hundred years old.
A moment later, Ye Changsheng and Bai Yaoyi appeared in a huge hall with four or five hundred seats evenly distributed around them.
Dozens of figures were sitting on those seats, each of them covered with a layer of halo, making it impossible to see their specific features.
Ye Changsheng and Bai Yaoyi were also covered with a layer of light. They found a seat and sat down.
As time passed, more and more people came to the hall. In the end, there were about two hundred people gathered there.
In the circular open space in the middle of the hall, a flash of light appeared near a white jade table, and a figure shrouded in white light suddenly appeared behind the table.
"It's almost time. The fellow Taoists who were supposed to come have arrived. The trade fair will start now." The figure in the white light glanced around and said lightly.
"It's the same as before. We will first provide a batch of materials and auction them directly with spirit stones. The highest bidder will win. Then, fellow Taoists can exchange items on their own."
"However, one thing that is different from previous years is that this time our exchange will be commissioned by a big customer, and we will be exchanging a valuable treasure as the finale."
"This precious treasure can only be exchanged for a few things that are hard to find in the world. If no one really has these materials, they will be auctioned with spirit stones. Whether you fellow Taoists will have the opportunity to obtain the treasure depends on your own luck." The figure in the white light said slowly.
"Treasure? It must be the Pingshan Seal!" Ye Changsheng thought with his eyes flashing slightly.
Not long after, the monk shrouded in white light continued to speak a few words and then began the auction.
"Yin jujubes are found accidentally in the graves of people born on Yin days and months in Yin years. They take three hundred years to bear fruit, and then they are refined with the resentment of wronged souls using secret techniques for 49 days. These jujubes can be taken directly, or used as ingredients for alchemy. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones, and the price can be increased by 5,000 each time."
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and fourteen thousand!"
"One hundred and fourty-five thousand spirit stones!"
…
Ye Changsheng calmly watched everyone scramble for the auction items. He remained motionless and did not make a move once.
The trade fair among Nascent Soul cultivators only officially began after the auction items prepared by the organizer were sold out.
The Nascent Soul level trade fair was no different from the various trade fairs Ye Changsheng had attended before. Everyone took turns standing up, taking out their own things, and saying what they wanted to exchange.
The monks who achieved their goals were all extremely happy, while those who did not exchange anything left with regret.
"Two Crimson Cloud Pills in exchange for the two materials, Five Elements Jade and Dazzling Crystal. The Crimson Cloud Pill is an ancient elixir that I obtained by chance. After inspection, it should be made from spiritual medicine that has been refined for tens of thousands of years. It is very effective whether it is used to improve cultivation or break through bottlenecks!" A hoarse voice sounded.
"What? A elixir that's tens of thousands of years old?"
"I've heard of the Crimson Cloud Pill, but this is the first time I've heard of one made from tens of thousands of years old spiritual herbs!"
"Your words are not enough, could you let me check it out?"
…
Surprised voices rang out one after another, and the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall immediately perked up.
Everyone would be interested in this kind of elixir that can improve cultivation and help break through bottlenecks.
"This guy Han Li actually took out all the Crimson Cloud Pills. They were made from spiritual herbs that are tens of thousands of years old. He probably doesn't have many pills left in his hands!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Although the figure shrouded in light had a hoarse voice, Ye Changsheng knew it was Han Li as soon as he heard the word "Crimson Cloud Pill".
