Clearly, this young man was also a prodigy. He had reached the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Although he was still slightly inferior to the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the various holy lands, he had already surpassed ordinary prodigies by a large margin. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the young girl, with undisguised affection in their depths. However, the young girl paid him no attention. She walked straight into the city and came to a small stall, asking the vendor about spiritual herbs. But as soon as she spoke, the vendor’s face suddenly lit up with a smile.
“Miss, you’ve come to the right person to buy spiritual herbs,” he said. “The herbs 1 have are all from the God Demon Sect’s small world, each plant has a medicinal age of over 10,000 years. You know the God Demon Sect, right? That ancient sect. Although it was destroyed, its ruins appeared recently, and many spiritual herbs entered the outside world. Seeing as you seem like a kind young miss, how about this? 1’11 only charge you 10,000 low-grade spirit stones per herb. Let’s make a virtuous connection. What do you think?”
The vendor’s face was wreathed in smiles as he spoke.
“10,000 low-grade spirit stones? Why don’t you just rob me?” At that moment, the blue-robed youth walked up. His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at the vendor contemptuously. “You’re obviously lying!” he said coldly. “Your spiritual herbs here have a maximum age of only three hundred years. How dare you claim they are io,ooo-year-old spiritual herbs? How could the God Demon Sect produce such herbs? You’re blatantly lying.”
“Hehe…” When the vendor heard this, he refused to back down. “Young master, since you’ve taken a liking to my spiritual herbs, go bid at the True Treasure Pavilion’s auction!” he said. “Judging by your fine clothes, I bet you can’t afford spirit stones. Or perhaps you can’t even get into the True Treasure Pavilion?” This was the Holy City of the Yin Yang Holy Land! There were experts from the Yin Yang Holy Land guarding the city. Many powerful cultivators came and went, so no one could be sure if the person they passed was an elder of some holy land. As such, few dared cause trouble in the Holy City. It was precisely because the vendor had this confidence that he did not bother showing this young man any respect.
“You…” The blue-robed man’s expression was ashen. He felt insulted and discretely glanced at the girl beside him. “Do you know who I am?” he asked coldly.
“Ha…” The vendor was utterly unfazed. “1 don’t care who you are. Even if you’re some holy land’s holy son, I won’t give you any face!”
“Enough!” At this moment, the young girl softly spoke up, stopping the quarrel. She then looked at the vendor curiously and asked, “What did you mean by the True Treasure Pavilion’s auction you mentioned earlier?” After speaking, she took out ten low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the vendor.
Seeing the spirit stones, the vendor’s arrogance instantly vanished. He glanced coldly at the blue-robed man before patiently explaining to the girl.
“Do you have any blood fruits?” the girl asked after hearing his explanation, a bright look in her eyes. This was her purpose for coming to the East Barrens. She had been searching for herbs. As long as she obtained blood fruits, she could replenish her own Dao Foundation. Only by repairing her own Dao Foundation could she make further progress. Until now, she had been trapped at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm for too long. If she could break through to the Nirvana Realm, she would not need to hide anymore. At that time, she would naturally have no need to fear the Golden Crow Clan.
“I think I do…” the vendor said uncertainly.
The girl waved her hand upon hearing this and looked towards the True Treasure Pavilion at the city’s center. “Let’s go to the True Treasure Pavilion!”
Very quickly, they arrived at the center of the Holy City. There, an extremely massive palace towered, like the celestial emperor’s own. The majestic, imposing hall was shocking to behold.
The entire palace was made of spotless white jade. Gleaming sigils flickered around it, like mini suns emanating tremendous power. The people behind the young girl could not help but feel their hearts tremble at the sight. Judging by the few sigils alone, the grand formation around the True Treasure Pavilion had already surpassed those of their own sects.
“As expected of the True Treasure Pavilion!” a man behind the girl exclaimed. The True Treasure Pavilion had branches across the East Barrens and Central Plains alike. They were a very unique faction, remaining neutral in sect conflicts and solely focused on business. Their enterprises spanned the world entire. Rumor had it that 100,000 years ago, a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse had once sought to bring the True Treasure Pavilion under his control.
Shockingly, however, he had ultimately failed, vanishing without a trace overnight as if he had evaporated from the mortal realm entirely. Many guessed the True Treasure Pavilion might not be as simple as it seemed. It was likely backed by numerous Great Emperor Realm powerhouses!
Without so many experts guarding it, how else could it have grown so large while remaining free of coveting? If the True Treasure Pavilion did not have a few tricks up its sleeve, this would certainly be impossible.
“Miss Huo, let’s go in,” the blue-robed man said with a smile he believed was gentle. “Since Miss Huo needs blood fruit, i will obtain it for you no matter the cost!” His words were merely an attempt to gain favor, but before he even finished speaking, the few people about to enter the pavilion looked over in surprise.
When the leader saw them, he immediately sneered disdainfully. “Haha… You are truly arrogant,” he mocked. “The blood fruit comes from the God Demon Sect’s ruins. It’s 100,000 years old! It can be compared to a sacred medicine. Do you really think anyone can casually obtain it?” After speaking, he swept them a contemptuous glance before entering the pavilion.
Hearing this, the blue-robed man’s face instantly flushed crimson. Back in his own sect, he was considered a prodigy. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Ever since entering the Holy City, he had been insulted twice in a row, first by a mere vendor, and now by an initial-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. The repeated provocations pushed his anger to its limits. He was about to argue with them when suddenly, a commotion erupted behind them.
Immediately after, a man with a mighty physique emerged from the crowd and strode towards the True Treasure Pavilion. His aura was incredibly dense, his entire body radiating tremendous power. Dazzling divine light swirled around him as if he were a divine king descended to the mortal realm. Wherever he went brought waves of exclamation, so majestic was his presence..
