No matter the opponent’s identity, Jing Yan had no intention of trading the Longevity Pills to the other party.
Because this person, even if not from the Gu Family, must be inextricably linked with them. Moreover, the person’s overly arrogant deanor deepened Jing Yan’s dislike from the bottom of his heart.
Tong Yue’s actions, however, had stirred the hearts of mbers from several Great Families present. So people’s eyes flickered with barely concealed amusent, although their gazes remained veiled. After all, they had not given up hope of obtaining the Longevity Pills.
Jing Yan had just ntioned that after the public exchange ended, family mbers could still seek him out to trade for elixirs. If they were to fall out with Jing Yan now, then their chances of obtaining the Longevity Pills would be zero.
In short, they were happy to watch the excitent unfold, yet they did not want to break with Jing Yan. At least not before obtaining the Longevity Pills.
Faced with Jing Yan’s question, Tong Yue’s mouth twisted, and once again, his fiery gaze swept over the six Jade Bottles in front of Jing Yan.
Tong Yue harbored thoughts of seizing the Longevity Pills by force, yet he wasn’t entirely confident in his ability to do so, thus he temporarily suppressed his burning desire.
"Who I am is none of your concern, Jing Yan," he retorted.
"I don’t like to waste words," Tong Yue continued, "I want to exchange for all six of your Longevity Pills. Here are so materials, take them! I don’t wish to bully the weak, so naturally, I won’t take advantage of you or let you suffer a loss!" With a wave of his arm, a streak of light flew towards Jing Yan.
Jing Yan reached out and caught the item tossed by Tong Yue, fixing his gaze on it to find a Suru Ring.
A re flicker of thought, and the contents within the Suru Ring ca into full view.
At this glance, Jing Yan was indeed slightly taken aback.
He had expected the strange old man to produce a considerable cache of resources in exchange for the elixirs, but he hadn’t anticipated that the resources inside the Suru Ring would be so ager, and most were relatively common items. Altogether, their value was comparable only to a single drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Plum Blossom Dew.
In other words, the other party intended to trade a single drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Plum Blossom Dew for his six Longevity Pills.
Was this supposed not to let him take a loss? Offering such paltry resources while putting on a righteous deanor...
Jing Yan couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze turning towards Tong Yue, but this ti with a colder edge in his eyes.
"Did you co here to amuse us?" he asked sarcastically.
"The materials you’ve produced, when added together, are likely only equivalent to a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Plum Blossom Dew at best. Do you really think you can exchange for six Longevity Pills with these resources?" Jing Yan scoffed.
"What?"
"These materials for six Longevity Pills?"
"Has this guy lost his mind? If Longevity Pills were so cheap, couldn’t I also get a few?"
"Keep it down, that person has a terrifying aura! I think he’s either in the Late Stage Dao Emperor Realm or at the Dao Emperor Realm Peak, not soone we can afford to offend!"
"..."
After Jing Yan’s remarks, many martial artists in the square began murmuring in astonishnt.
None had recognized Tong Yue, but many practitioners at the Dao Emperor Realm could sense the dangerous aura emanating from him. Consequently, they dared not openly mock him, fearing they might provoke a mysterious and powerful stranger and invite trouble.
"Let’s see how Hall Master Jing Yan deals with this!" Several Independent Cultivation Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners waited to see how Jing Yan would handle such an unexpected developnt.
Clearly, the extrely arrogant individual who had charged onstage was not at all intimidated by the position of Hall Master of Jing Yan’s Temple.
"Jing Yan, I am not joking with you!" Tong Yue declared.
"These materials, that’s all there is. Exchange them fairly with , and we’ll both be happy. I’ll receive the Longevity Pills and be on my way. Otherwise, you will surely regret rejecting !" Tong Yue’s sinister gaze fixed on Jing Yan.
Tong Yue’s Primordial Energy subtly coursed around his body, a pressuring force heading towards Jing Yan.
"Sothing’s not right!" The Great Hall Master had been watching Tong Yue closely.
"Great Hall Master, what’s not right? I think that man is out of his mind, threatening Hall Master Jing Yan in the Holy City. Hmph, I don’t know where the Gu Family found such a fool!" Eight Hall Master Min Huo scoffed.
Several hall masters chuckled at Min Huo’s words, but a few elder hall masters wore serious expressions, their eyes never leaving Tong Yue.
"Great Hall Master, do you also feel a sense of familiarity with that person’s aura?" Second Hall Master turned to look at the Great Hall Master.
"Great Hall Master, Second Hall Master, you both find this person familiar? I have the sa feeling. Could it be that we’ve t this person sowhere before?" Fourth Hall Master frowned.
"That seems unlikely! His appearance is very unfamiliar to . If we had encountered him sowhere, even just once, we would definitely not feel he’s a stranger. However, his aura indeed feels very familiar," Third Hall Master Kui Long shook his head.
Kui Long, despite being at the Late Stage Dao Emperor Realm, had been appointed as a hall master very early on, even before the Fourth Hall Master.
"Yes, we’ve definitely t this person before. The reason we find his face unfamiliar could be... this person has changed his appearance with Disguise Technique, and to such a masterful extent that even we can’t spot any flaws!" The Great Hall Master’s half-squinted eyes sparkled brightly.
Hearing the discussions of the Great Hall Master and others, the Seventh Hall Master, Eight Hall Master, and several other hall masters also dropped their smiles, their expressions growing somber.
"Could it be that this person has co prepared and truly isn’t afraid of the Holy Hall?" Seventh Hall Master Leng Hongying tightened her Liu i brows, "But even the ancestors of the Seven Great Families wouldn’t have such audacity, right?"
"Hmm, it’s indeed hard to say! Let’s just be vigilant. If that person makes a move, we’ll assist Hall Master Jing Yan right away and suppress him," the Great Hall Master pondered for a mont before speaking.
Although he sensed sothing was amiss, considering their numbers, did they really need to fear a single Dao Emperor Realm Peak practitioner?
Among the nine hall masters present, six possessed Peak Dao Emperor Realm Cultivation. Together with Hall Master Jing Yan, whose combat power was comparable to Dao Emperor Realm Peak, they amounted to seven Dao Emperor Realm Peak Strong People.
Seven of them acting against one Dao Emperor Realm Peak opponent?
With this thought, the Great Hall Master and others relaxed. In the Holy City, they weren’t afraid of disruptions. The only concern was whether this person had additional hidden support, for it seed likely that he was involved in unsavory dealings with the Gu Family.
However, among the Gu Family present at the scene, only Gu Xianlun was an Early Stage Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner—posing little threat to the hall masters.
"What grandiosity! You dare not even reveal your na, yet you still threaten ?" Jing Yan retorted.
"Hmph, take your resources back! Even if you offered more than what the others have provided in value, I would not trade the Longevity Pills with you." Jing Yan also made a throwing gesture, tossing the Suru Ring back to Tong Yue.
Gu Xianlun had been watching the two n in the center of the action, and upon hearing Jing Yan’s words and seeing his actions, joy erupted in his heart.
