Chapter 940: Chapter 363: [Wine Cellar: Level 4]—9 Netherworld Lifespan-Burning Brew! (Part 2)
“Daoist Hu, I have this Nine Nether Fragrance, but only three liang, is it enough?”
Ji Yuan felt a stirring within, yet outwardly remained calm and collected, not looking at the person transmitting the sound, only responding with his mind:
“Enough! May I ask if the demon Daoist is willing to part with it?”
“A trade can be made. How about I seek out Daoist Hu after the banquet wraps up?”
“Agreed!”
Ji Yuan agreed.
Of course, on the surface, he appeared regretful as he sat back down, exuding an aura of disappointment for not acquiring the desired item.
Once seated, his gaze inadvertently swept past the woman who had just spoken.
The woman’s skin was fair, her features exceedingly exquisite, adorned in a black gauzy dress that was semi-transparent, exuding a captivating allure even in casual repose.
She was seated near the door, indicating she was merely at the early-stage Core Formation.
A demon slave known as “Poison Concubine,” reportedly once a consort from a Mortal Realm, rose from humble beginnings, entering the Imperial Palace through her looks, then leveraged her position to obtain a Cultivation Technique, gradually stepping onto the cultivation path, eventually joining the Bone Nightmare Sect.
A cultivator able to break free from the Mortal Realm was undeniably formidable in terms of tenacity.
At least… not easily snuffed out.
Just like now, she could openly declare a trade with Ji Yuan, earning him a substantial favor.
But instead, she opted for a private affair.
This alone attested to her prudence.
Having cast a glance, Ji Yuan ceased observing her, as all present were shrewd, a mere few extra glances would undoubtedly tip them off.
After satiating their hunger and exchanging greetings, the Core Formation Conference was nearing its end, and attendees would often seize the opportunity to hold a small-scale Core Formation Exchange Conference.
“I have a Tier Three Water Attribute Demon Pill, along with the corpse of a Tier Three Kuishui Serpent, and also a Magical Treasure.”
The first to speak was once again You Bone Wanderer.
This time, he remained seated, with his right hand raised slightly.
The Water Attribute Demon Pill, along with the wolf-tooth club-like Magical Treasure, he naturally took out.
But the Tier Three Serpent’s corpse remained concealed, displayed only via a Storage Bag with its mouth opened for all to inspect with Divine Sense.
Just after his words, a bald man across the way remarked in a deep voice, “You Bone, so it was indeed you who did over Emperors Bay Green Serpent Isle! Last time you denied it.”
You Bone Wanderer stroked his beard, chuckling sinisterly, “Before it wasn’t, now it is.”
Soon, an elderly woman said, “Daoist You Bone, although your Tier Three Demon Pill is also Water Attribute, it doesn’t seem to be the Serpent’s Demon Pill, is it?”
“No, the Serpent’s Demon Pill I used myself, this Demon Pill es from a Tier Three Sea Breaker Hyena.”
You Bone Wanderer turned to the elderly woman, offering an explanation.
The Core Formation Conference was about finished, the exchange conference started.
Consequently, more Core Formation Cultivators began showcasing Immortal Talents, engaging in trades for the Immortal Talents they required.
Ji Yuan saw no items of interest and continued to watch the proceedings.
But merely watching for this brief period, he realized, what were those previous auction events…?
Items regarded as the climax of those auctions were monplace here, many even unwanted.
‘Indeed, each layer of realm has its own realm’s landscape, and who knows if Jiyuan Continent hosts a Nascent Soul Stage exchange conference.’
In contemplation, Ji Yuan’s gaze flitted to his Storage Bag, where he held 130 bottles of the Fountain of Eternal Youth.
Though each bottle held a modest amount, each was sufficient to extend a cultivator’s life by twenty years.
If revealed, Nascent Soul Monsters would likely pete fiercely for it.
Especially the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother.
Judging by past occurrences, the old lady should be nearing her end.
“I have a Godfire Ant, two Poison Sacs from Tier Three Poison Sting Scorpions, along with a high-level Technique.”
A voice rang out within the hall.
Ji Yuan promptly looked over and saw a young man with a unicorn growing from his forehead, appearing quite handsome.
Mid-stage Core Formation. Previously during Ma Gui’s introduction, he mentioned this man as Feng Ma… Thoughts darted through Ji Yuan’s mind as he spoke:
“I wish to trade Spirit Stones for the corpse of the Godfire Ant, would Daoist Feng be willing to part?”
Ji Yuan’s words brought about quiet among the other cultivators.
After all, this was Ji Yuan’s first time initiating a trade.
Feng Ma turned with a smile and said, “Since Brother Hu requires it, I’ll gift this to Brother Hu.”
“No, no…”
After a fair amount of back-and-forth, Ji Yuan ultimately purchased the item with Spirit Stones.
Thus, one condition for upgrading the [Ant Nest] was finally fulfilled.
The trade continued, and over the span of an hour, Ji Yuan made several transactions.
All trades were exclusively for items meant to cultivate Spirit Beasts.
He didn’t disguise his intentions, allowing attendees at the Core Formation Conference to deduce that aside from his cultivation, Ji Yuan also raised Spirit Beasts, seemingly Ant Beasts.
‘Seems all those trading are early-stage and mid-stage Core Formation cultivators; those late-stage Core Formation cultivators beside me… Only the Isle Master of Blood Spirit made a transaction once, while Ma Gui and the others seem disdainful of these items.’
Another thought crossed his mind—Ma Gui and the Six Extremes Child were disciples of the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, with no shortage of mon cultivation resources, rare items being elusive and unlikely to appear at this small-scale exchange conference.
