Chapter 323 – Hidden Sword Palace, YuanYing Cultivator Trade Fair

Chapter 323 – Hidden Sword Palace, YuanYing Cultivator Fair

“The two of you should be Jiang Chengxuan Jiang Daoyou, Shen Ruyan Shen Daoyou, right?

My name is Yan Wushuang, and like Elder Brother Tu Xing, I am the Supreme Elder of my Hidden Sword Palace.”

Without waiting for the Earthbound Sword Monarch on the side to make an introduction, the valiant female cultivator who called herself Yan Wushuang already took the initiative to smile and open her mouth to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“I’ve long heard of the two of you’s achievements of using your Jindan bodies to reverse chop the fifth-order Black Wind Demon Emperor, and I really admire them, and now that I’ve had the honor of meeting the two of you with my own eyes, I’m truly honored.”

It could be seen that Yan Wushuang’s attitude towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was very polite.

Completely unable to detect the slightest bit of arrogance of being the supreme elder of a top-tier YuanYing sect.

And her straightforward character without the slightest bit of artifice also made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan have a lot of good feelings towards her.

At that moment, the couple hurriedly returned their greetings.

The Earthbound Sword Monarch on the side, at this time, also interjected with a smile:
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, truth be told, when you held the grand ceremony for the establishment of the state on that day, Senior Sister Yan had originally planned to go over with me to give you congratulations.

Unable to do so, at that time, there was an infestation of YuanYing demonic cultivators in my state of Yu, and Senior Sister Yan was unable to get away for the time being, which is why she missed your last grand ceremony.

Now that she has heard that you have come to my Hidden Sword Palace and are preparing to participate in that trade fair amongst the YuanYing cultivators, so no matter what, she wanted me to bring her here to meet you first.”

Next, the two sides went on to exchange pleasantries here.

Only then did the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang bring Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to the place where they were organizing the YuanYing Cultivators’ Trade Fair this time.

Arriving at the scene, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realized that at this time, this place had already gathered quite a few YuanYing cultivators.

The number had clearly reached more than a dozen.

Only these people present, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not recognize.

Come to think of it, the two had just achieved YuanYing now.

Before this, there were only a handful of YuanYing cultivators that they had come into contact with.

A portion of them still had a grudge against them.

Among them were the YuanYing of the Cao and Lu families.

It was only that these two families’ YuanYing didn’t seem to be present today.

Of course, it was also possible that people hadn’t arrived yet.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, let me introduce you to these Fellow Daoists present.”

At this moment, the voice transmissions of the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang sounded in the ears of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan almost simultaneously.

In response, it was naturally impossible for the couple to refuse.

They heard Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang transmitting their voices to them, ”The one on the far left is the Star Sea True Monarch of the Heavenly Star Sect of Kangzhou, specializing in the Way of Star Movement.

To your right, is the loose cultivator Xuanhe Daoist, specializing in the Water Avatar and spells.

As for the one directly in front of you, it’s True Lord Flying Snow from the Blue State’s Drifting Snow Sect, known as the White-Haired Fairy.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.

Sure enough.

The Flying Snow True Lord that had just been mentioned by the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang really did have a head of white hair.

Even though her face looked extremely beautiful, the feeling she gave off was filled with a kind of clear coldness that made ordinary people not dare to approach her easily.

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, were already led by the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang to their seats this time.

Because there were other things to be busy with, the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang, too, did not stay here with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan for much longer with them.

After instructing them on some of the things they needed to pay attention to in this trade fair, the two of them left for the time being.

At this time, the Star Ocean True Monarch who had been mentioned before, suddenly walked over towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s side.

He was dressed in a starry dao robe, and his entire person looked rather dusty and elegant.

“My name is Starry Star Sect Starry Sea Daoist in Kangzhou, you two, this should be the first time you’ve come to participate in the trade fair organized by the Hidden Sword Palace, right? I wonder how you two are addressed?”

When True Lord Star Ocean walked in, he immediately smiled and took the initiative to open his mouth to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Seeing the Star Ocean True Monarch take the initiative to greet the two of them, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t hold back and immediately did some self-introduction.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Star Ocean smiled and nodded.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen from Jiangzhou, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

With that, the three of them were chatting away.

Through their exchange with True Lord Xinghai, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew that this was the fourth time this person had come to participate in the YuanYing Cultivator Trade Fair organized by the Hidden Sword Palace.

Basically, every time, he had been able to exchange what he needed at this trade fair.

This also made the couple slightly look forward to it.

Just at this moment, another cultivator suddenly came in from outside.

This person was dressed in green, and judging by the spiritual pressure that was faintly emanating from his body, he was actually a True Lord whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of YuanYing.

At this moment, they heard the Star Ocean True Lord on the side speak to them:

“This man is the YuanYing Taishang Elder of this YuZhou MingZhen Sect, his name is Pei DaoQi, and it is rumored that he is currently seeking a spirit that can break through to the late stage of YuanYing.”

“Hmm? The Mingzhen Sect’s YuanYing Taishang Elder?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan instantly glanced at that person one more time.

Reminiscing back then, the Daoist Guangxuan who had entered a certain relic with them and that Shao Liang appeared to be the Jindan Elder of that Mingzhen Sect.

At this moment, that Pei Daoqi, seemed to have sensed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s gaze, and a pair of eyes immediately looked over.

At once, invisible pressure appeared on the couple’s bodies.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately let out a light hum in their hearts.

At that moment, the two of them simultaneously operated their magic power, and the invisible pressure that had fallen on them immediately disappeared.

And this, in turn, caused a slight flash of surprise to pass through that Pei Daoqi’s eyes.

Soon he stopped paying attention to Jiang Chengxuan’s duo and instead went straight to his own seat here and sat down.

“Hehe, I can’t imagine that after so many years, that Pei Daoqi is still as unreasonable and overbearing as before.”

Suddenly, True Lord Star Ocean’s voice appeared in Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s ears.

This caused the couple to instantly realize that it was thought that this True Lord Star Ocean should have more or less suffered some losses from that Pei Daoqi back then as well.

Following this, a few more YuanYing True Monarchs arrived one after another.

Only those few people Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan similarly did not recognize.

At this time, almost a few moments later, the true ruler of the contemporary Hidden Sword Palace, True Monarch Xuan Yang, was walking in together with the Earthbound Sword Monarch and Yan Wushuang.

Seeing True Monarch Xuan Yang’s arrival, everyone present took the initiative to greet him.

True Monarch Xuan Yang also nodded with everyone.

When he passed by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan on their side, he took the initiative to smile and nod with them.

And this scene also caused many people present to glance sideways for a moment.

Obviously none of them had expected that those two, who seemed to have come to a trade fair like theirs for the first time, seemed to have a good relationship with True Lord Xuan Yang.

Even the Star Ocean True Lord beside them couldn’t help but look at them a little more this time.

Just at the same time, True Monarch Xuan Yang and the Earthbound Sword Monarch, as well as Yan Wushuang, were already arriving at the main seat of this trade fair.

Then, he heard True Monarch Xuan Yang take the lead and said, “Welcome, fellow disciples, this time, you are able to come to my Hidden Sword Palace, to participate in the YuanYing Cultivators’ Trade Fair hosted by my Hidden Sword Palace.

This time, let me throw out a brick to attract jade and give everyone a head start first.”

With that, he saw True Lord Xuanyang take out a fist-sized golden fruit from his own body.

“This fruit is called the Golden Yang Fruit, and after taking it, it can help YuanYing cultivators strengthen their YuanShen.

In the hands of all of you fellow cultivators, if you have any fifth-order upper-grade weapon refining materials, or corresponding boundary-breaking pills, you can exchange them with me.

Any less, spirit objects of equal value, or top-grade spirit stones would also do.”

Generally speaking, the currency that cultivators used to trade with each other after breaking through YuanYing was no longer ordinary spirit stones, but top-grade spirit stones.

Only top-grade spirit stones could circulate amongst YuanYing cultivators like them.

At this moment, when the crowd heard True Lord Xuan Yang’s words, they couldn’t help but be eager in their hearts.

There was no other reason, simply because the Golden Sun Fruit in his hand was something that was useful to all the YuanYing cultivators present.

Especially cultivators who were expected to be at the late stage of YuanYing, or even at the Realm of God Transformation, would never neglect the enhancement of their YuanShen.

Including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they had the same desire for that one Golden Yang Fruit.

Only they themselves knew that with their current wealth, it would be extremely difficult to exchange for that Golden Yang Fruit.

Unless they were willing to take out that Earth Grade Mother Qi.

However, this kind of thing was almost the same as that Golden Yang Fruit, a treasure that was equally unattainable.

Once it was exchanged, it wouldn’t be that easy for them to collect it again.

Fortunately, at the moment, they were not that desperate for the enhancement of their own Yuan Shen.

And so there was no competition with the people present.

But just because they didn’t fight for it didn’t mean that the other YuanYing cultivators present wouldn’t fight for it.

Almost in an instant, there were no less than seven or eight YuanYing cultivators bidding.

However, it was clear that what the crowd had come up with at the moment did not satisfy True Lord Xuan Yang, or rather, was very satisfactory.

Suddenly, Pei Daoqi, who was located on the southeastern side of the scene, suddenly took out a round jade stone about the size of a ping pong ball from his body.

Then, he saw him speak with a slight bit of fleshiness, “This item is a fifth-ranked top-grade True Yang Chalcedony, I’ll use it, I wonder if I can exchange it with you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang, for that one Golden Yang Fruit?”

“True Yang Chalcedony?”

Seeing what Pei Daoqi had taken out, the expressions of everyone present couldn’t help but change.

Obviously, there wasn’t a single person present who didn’t recognize the item.

This item could only be born in a large Red Yang Treasure Crystal vein, or an Inferno Fire Earth Crystal vein.

And the quantity would never be high.

It is an extremely precious thing of supreme yang.

True Lord Xuan Yang obviously knew how precious this True Yang Chalcedony was as well, and he couldn’t help but nod at the words.

“That’s fine, I’ll take this Golden Sun Fruit and exchange it with you for that True Yang Chalcedony.”

As he spoke, True Monarch Xuan Yang had already completed the exchange with that Pei Daoqi.

After that, it was the turn of the Earthbound Sword Monarch.

He saw him take out a jade slip from his own body, and then said to the people present:
“I have a fifth-order gold technique called Xinjin Divine Light here, and I would like to use it to exchange it with all of you for a fifth-order earth material, or an earth technique of the same fifth-order.”

Seeing what the Earthbound Sword Monarch took out, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was immediately stirred.

A fifth-order spell of the gold system was exactly what he currently needed.

It was just that he didn’t know if the Earthbound Sword Monarch he possessed in his hands for that Heavenly Meteor Chaos Skill of his own.

So much for trying it all out.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan instantly took out the jade slip that recorded the Heavenly Meteorite Disorderly Stone Skill from his own body, and turned to the Earthbound Sword Monarch and said:
“Fellow Daoist Earthwalker, I happen to have a fifth-order earth technique in my hand called Heavenly Meteor Turbulent Stone Technique, I wonder if I can exchange it with you for that fifth-order gold technique, Xinjin Divine Light?”

“Hm? Heavenly Meteor Turbulent Stone Technique?”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, the Earthbound Sword Monarch’s face was visibly just as pleased.

Obviously, he had also heard about this Heavenly Meteor Chaos Skill that Jiang Chengxuan had mentioned.

At that moment, he smiled and said to Jiang Chengxuan, ”I wonder if you can first give me a glimpse of your Heavenly Meteor Chaos Skill?
Of course, this Xinjin Divine Light of mine can likewise allow you to have a look at it first, fellow Daoist Jiang.”

“This is certainly no problem.”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately laughed and immediately exchanged jade slips with the Earthbound Sword Monarch with each other.

The two were clearly very trusting of each other.

So when they exchanged the jade slips, they didn’t put any restrictions on them.

Soon, the two of them had roughly browsed through the contents of the jade slips in their respective hands.

Then they saw that the smile on the Earthbound Swordsman’s face couldn’t help but grow a few more points.

Only to see him look at Jiang Chengxuan and say, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, there is no problem with this Heavenly Meteor Chaos Skill of yours, I can make an exchange with you, I don’t know what do you think?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded with the same smile.

Obviously, Jiang Chengxuan was also very satisfied with this Xinjin Divine Light given by the Earthbound Sword Monarch.

When the exchange was completed on the two’s side, Yan Wushuang, on the other side, instantly took out a silver-colored sword talisman from her own body.

Only to hear her speak, “This talisman is an Instant Killing Sword Talisman of the fifth rank, when used, it is shadowless and invisible, it was refined by my own hands, and can be used a total of three times.”

“Hm?”

Hearing Yan Wushuang’s words, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts could not help but be a little surprised.

They hadn’t really thought that this Yan Wushuang, was actually a fifth-ranked talisman maker.

One must know that after reaching the fifth rank, the status of a Rune Maker was not at all inferior to the status of such professions as an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist.

The main reason for this was because the talismans of the fifth rank were almost comparable to the storage devices of spells and divine abilities.

It is no longer like the fourth-order and third-order talismans, after using it once, it is completely obsolete.

Under normal circumstances, a fifth-order talisman could basically be used about three times.

Some powerful talisman makers are said to be able to pile up the number of times they can be used to five or even more.

Not only that, they were even able to brand the divine abilities and techniques they cultivated into the talismans.

When facing the enemy, they only need to fully activate the talisman they have made, not only can it explode with extremely strong power, but it can also save a lot of mana output.

At this moment, he heard Yan Wushuang continue:
“I want to use it, to exchange for pills that can raise my cultivation in the middle YuanYing stage, or the method of refining a fifth rank mid-grade talisman.”
