Chapter 541 Trip to the Exchange Pavilion
At this point, even Mu Zhen had become a shrewd person, daring to call the two old men, Hong and his companion, "old guys." Who else but the patriarch of the Huo family would have the guts to do that?
Why did he smile at them so kindly?
The seven were flattered and greeted him together, "Greetings, Senior Huo!"
"Very well, very well!" Old Ancestor Huo took out seven brocade boxes and gave them to the seven people: "It's our first meeting, and I don't know what you young friends like."
I think you'll find these seven pairs of cloud-silk shoes useful; consider them a gift from your senior as a token of our meeting!
Little Giant Pit jumped in at the opportune moment to act as the commentator: "A top-grade treasure! Wearing it will increase your running speed by twenty percent!"
Among speed-enhancing magical artifact shoes, these are considered very good, and are very suitable for use at the Qi Refining stage.
"Because wearing something of a spirit weapon or higher level would actually be a burden for you."
Mu Zhen was extremely conflicted. He couldn't accept a reward without merit, and anyone offering unsolicited favors must have an ulterior motive…
However, the gift was so wonderful that they politely accepted it, saying, "It is an honor to receive such a gift from an elder, so we will accept it!"
[I learned this sales pitch from TV, and it's perfect for this situation!]
Emperor Tianhuang, who was about to refuse: ...
Fine, anyway, they only have a few things to offer.
If the other party wants it, just give it to them!
But Old Master Huo had no intention of returning the gift. He said to everyone, "Let's go. There are too many of us. Let's all sit separately."
Old Master Huo was very satisfied that the items could be delivered.
I'm afraid they won't accept it.
This gift is neither expensive nor wasteful; it touches the recipient's heart, thus symbolizing a good relationship between the Huo family and the other party.
We'll investigate further later to see what benefits they've given those two old men, and then we can gradually make our move.
However, as they parted, the three of them simultaneously imprinted their divine senses on the backs of Mu Zhen and the others.
So that if people are accidentally separated, they can be found in time.
Wanqi Yunyan is currently in the main hall.
Wan Gu naturally understood that the three seniors did not want to reveal too many secrets to the outside world; the higher one's cultivation level, the more secrets one had.
However, she had no secrets that she couldn't reveal to the seven members of the Heavenly Emperor's household, so she chose to sit with them.
"Why is everything around us foggy?" Mu Zhen asked, looking around after taking a seat.
Apart from the central circular platform which is still clearly visible, the area below where seats are placed is completely covered in white.
Even divine sense cannot be projected in.
He can now use his divine sense to perceive areas invisible to the naked eye, just like Xiao Jukeng.
The distance isn't ideal; it can only perceive people and things within a radius of ten miles.
It can even pass through walls! That's fucking amazing!
Even X-ray vision is nothing compared to divine perception.
[Huh? Where are the other participants? Are they all hiding in the fog? That means we're the only ones with nowhere to hide!]
“In other people’s eyes, this place is also a foggy area, which even Mahayana cultivators cannot detect.” Xuan Yuan Jinmo glanced at the other places where fog was rising.
It's huge, like an endless sea of clouds.
However, this is not ordinary fog, but a smokescreen to protect the privacy of guests, and a super-large illusion array of half-step immortal level.
Hidden within is a deadly killing formation, no wonder no one dares to cause trouble here. Once activated, even a Mahayana cultivator would be severely injured.
"And everyone's location changes after each transaction!" Wan Gu added.
Mu Zhen was relieved.
Even if that old hag Wanqi follows us in, she won't find us. Heh, even if she does, it doesn't matter. Our worst-case scenario is that we'll teleport to the altar immediately after the transaction ends.
Even the barter pavilion doesn't need to be used.
If that old hag has the guts, go after her and you'll get yourself killed!
No one was worried that the great demon at the altar couldn't handle so many experts. Xuan Yuan Jinmo had been to the Immortal Realm; if he said it was possible, then it was definitely possible.
"By the way, we couldn't use teleportation scrolls in the Holy Land last time, could it be the same here...?"
Before Mu Zhen could finish asking, Xuan Yuan Jinmo waved his hand and said, "Last time, it was because the Wanqi family used some kind of magic weapon to interfere with the scroll."
"Here, that type of magical artifact is disabled."
Most people would choose to use a teleportation scroll to escape immediately after the transaction is completed.
Mu Zhen pressed down on the storage bag, which also contained a bunch of teleportation scrolls. In case someone from the Eastern Kingdom wanted to come to the secret realm in the future and happened to enter the Sand Sea, wouldn't they be able to teleport directly to the Demon City?
This is another reason why Emperor Tianhuang gifted the complete network technology to the Hong family. At least in the future, the Hong family will take this into consideration and protect people from Blue Star.
'Boom! '
The large clock hanging above the round platform was struck by spiritual energy that seemed to come from nowhere.
As soon as the echo dissipated, a golden lotus flower flew out from the fog area directly opposite Mu Zhen and the others, hovering just above the circular platform.
"A ninth-grade golden lotus in exchange for a seventh-grade seven-colored lotus!"
An aged, deep male voice echoed throughout the venue from where the golden lotus had flown out.
[Wow, is he wearing a megaphone? The sound is so loud, but it's not deafening. How strange!] Mu Zhen looked at the foggy area with curiosity.
After hearing this, Fu Tingyu asked Wan Gu, "Will everyone's voice be amplified to this extent?"
"See these two buttons on the table? Pressing the red button means to initiate a transaction and accept the transaction."
There are so many people wanting to trade that countless people are pressing the button simultaneously each time. Only the item offered by the selected person will float onto the stage.
When you press the green button and speak, your voice will be amplified to fill the entire room.
However, the items offered by those actively soliciting trades here... such as medicinal herbs, must be at least grade seven.
Those below the seventh rank will not be put on stage! Aunt Wan patiently explained in detail to everyone.
Mu Zhen swallowed hard and exchanged glances with his teammates.
What grade of red spider lily is it?
What if it's tasteless?
Emperor Tianhuang smiled calmly and raised his left eyebrow. "We don't need to make any announcements!"
Xuan Yuan Jinmo didn't miss the little interaction between the group. He picked up the teapot on the table and said casually, "Any Yin plant will be priced as a Celestial Grade!"
He finished speaking, his eyes fixed on the expressions of the others out of the corner of his eye.
Mu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.
Wan Gu was no exception.
Seeing Mu Zhen's expression, Wan Gu paused in her action of picking up the teacup, then smiled again and helped wash it.
There was no such rule before, but she noticed that these people would always wash the utensils again before eating or drinking tea.
Extremely meticulous!
While washing the teacup in my hands, my mind could no longer find peace.
They actually intended to exchange the Soul-Nourishing Tree seeds for it.
Where did you get it?
She had seen many kinds of Soul-Nourishing Wood, all of which had been passed down from ancient times. If stored properly, this thing would not rot for hundreds of millions of years.
But seeds cannot be stored for that long.
Unless they have a way to get to the underworld.
I really don't know whether to say that she and they were just lucky or that they were truly destined to be together.
Okay, the Azure Ring did come from her realm, and from the same sect.
