Chapter 206: The Local Gangs Are Too Impolite!

“I have a Dao Art in my hands that everyone knows about.”

The Treasure-Laden Youth stood on the stage, holding his head high and chest out. “Its name is [Myriad Treasures River]. It can combine multiple Treasures to form a stronger Treasure.”

“Three Medium Spirit Treasures can be combined into one Superior Spirit Treasure. Nine Inferior Spirit Treasures can be combined into one Medium Spirit Treasure. Eighteen Superior Treasures can be combined into one Inferior Spirit Treasure… In other words, as long as you have five hundred Superior Treasures, you can refine a Superior Spirit Treasure!”

“Moreover, the more Treasures there are, the stronger the power of the [Myriad Treasures River].”

As his voice fell, the crowd was in an uproar.

“Old Monster Treasure-Laden… You are even bringing out the bottom-of-the-box Dao Art of your [Fenbao Cliff]. To be honest, are you planning to make a quick profit and run?”

“Is this Dao Art of yours genuine?”

“It’s not a scam, is it?”

Several Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones questioned him directly. Seeing this, the Treasure-Laden Youth was not panicked in the slightest. He chuckled lightly: “Since I am willing to trade, naturally I have a reason.”

“To tell you the truth, I wish to seek a streak of Earthly Fiend Qi…”

As soon as these words came out, the doubts instantly vanished.

Although the [Myriad Treasures River] Dao Art was indeed precious, compared to Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, and compared to the Dao Path of a Foundation Establishment Perfected One, it was not worth mentioning.

“However, we don’t have any Heavenly Spirits or Earthly Fiends to trade with you.”

“Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends—without high Fate, one cannot encounter them; without sufficient Dao comprehenssion, one cannot obtain them. How could they possibly be brought out for trade? Treasure-Laden, have you lost your mind?”

The Treasure-Laden Youth shook his head upon hearing this. “I said, I wish to seek a streak of Earthly Fiend Qi… I have already found out the details of where the Earthly Fiend Qi is located. However, it is a dangerous place fraught with crises. Therefore, I need a Superior Spirit Treasure capable of seeking fortune and avoiding calamity, and a Spirit Treasure used for killing.”

“You want to exchange for two Superior Spirit Treasures?” someone questioned.

The Treasure-Laden Youth waved his hand. “Not necessarily. If one Superior Spirit Treasure possesses both of these Divine Wonders I need, that can also be exchanged.”

“Daydreaming!”

For a moment, many Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones spread out their Divine Sense. If not for the Formation suppressing the Spiritual Qi inside the cave abode, it would have likely affected the outside world immediately.

Seeing this, the Treasure-Laden Youth remained calm and composed:

“The [Myriad Treasures River] is my trump card means. Its value is well known. In the past, even when a Saint Sect Perfected One robbed me, I protected it with my life.”

“Now that I want to sell it, naturally I must sell it for a good price.”

“Of course, if someone can provide the Superior Spirit Treasure I want, I can add more to the price.” As his voice fell, the Treasure-Laden Youth waved his large hand.

Whoosh—!

In the next second, a streak of yellow smoke appeared in front of everyone. When they saw clearly what it was, almost all the Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones took a step back.

“Earth Vein Qi! Old Monster Treasure-Laden, where did you get this?”

“Don’t bring that thing near me! What if I accidentally shatter it?”

“Go away, go away…”

For Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones, Earth Vein Qi was like a pile of excrement; it was untouchable. After all, no one wanted their Fate reduced by Heavenly Punishment.

However, seeing this, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes.

Earth Vein Qi… it is fated with me.

Lu Yang had previously created one using [Heavenly Corpse Baleful Qi], but alas, it was used to entrap Perfected One Blood Demon and had dissipated along with the [Heavenly Corpse Baleful Qi].

But now, the more Lu Yang looked, the more he felt that the Earth Vein Qi in the Treasure-Laden Youth’s hand was very similar to the one he had used.

Moreover, he had just cultivated the [Imperial Mountain-Shifting Orthodox Method]. If this Dao Art were combined with Earth Vein Qi, its power would certainly be significantly enhanced.

“How about it?” The Treasure-Laden Youth looked around and said loudly, “This Earth Vein Qi is a good thing for scheming against others. In times of necessity, it can also be used for self-protection. Back when I was robbed by the Saint Sect Perfected One, if not for this Earth Vein Qi making him wary of the consequences, I would have been dead.”

As soon as these words came out, a Foundation Establishment Perfected One immediately reacted.

That makes sense!

Earth Vein Qi was indeed like a pile of excrement, but if you covered yourself in excrement, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to approach you. It truly was a good thing for saving one’s life!

Especially with the great war imminent, having Earth Vein Qi for protection would add a few degrees of assurance for survival.

Thinking of it this way, some people were tempted. However, being tempted was not as good as taking action. They wanted to trade, but they didn’t have Superior Spirit Treasures that met the requirements in their hands.

Especially since the Treasure-Laden Youth’s attitude was extremely firm.

On the other side, Lu Yang looked at him with great interest. Although this looked like an ordinary transaction, upon closer inspection, it was very strange.

‘Strictly speaking, this person intends to exchange his bottom-of-the-box trump card plus a life-saving item for someone else’s killing Spirit Treasure and danger-sensing Spirit Treasure. Doing this is simply tempting people to attack him after the transaction ends. At least a Saint Sect Perfected One would definitely take action…’

‘Is this a trap?’

But he should be the only genuine Saint Sect Perfected One present. If this was a trap, who exactly was treasure-laden trying to bait?

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more intriguing it felt.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yang suddenly sent a Divine Sense transmission to the Treasure-Laden Youth: “Fellow Daoist, I have the Superior Spirit Treasure you want here, but these are not enough!”

“Oh? Really?”

The Treasure-Laden Youth’s eyes suddenly lit up. Then, keeping his expression unchanged, he transmitted back, “Fellow Daoist is being too greedy. This is already my bottom price!”

“I also want a ready-made [Myriad Treasures River]!”

Lu Yang had no intention of being polite with the Treasure-Laden Youth. He immediately opened his mouth wide like a lion. What bottom price? Can the starting price be the bottom price?

And his reason was very sufficient.

“Even if the [Myriad Treasures River] can combine Treasures into a Superior Spirit Treasure, with the great war imminent, where am I supposed to gather more than five hundred Treasures for you?”

“This… alright.”

The Treasure-Laden Youth paused upon hearing this. After haggling with Lu Yang for a while, they finally agreed that he would add over a hundred Superior Treasures.

“One hundred and sixty-two Superior Treasures can be combined into a Medium Spirit Treasure-level [Myriad Treasures River].” The Treasure-Laden Youth said with a bitter face, “This is already all of my stock. Without them, my own [Myriad Treasures River] will find it hard to maintain the level of a Superior Spirit Treasure…”

Still fishing! Still fishing!

Lu Yang shot the arrow first and then drew the target. The more he listened, the more he felt that the Treasure-Laden Youth had huge problems. He actually dares to fish for me? The local gangs are too impolite!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang directly took out the [Avici Sword].

“This Spirit Treasure has two Divine Wonders. One is [Butcher of Man], and the other is [Danger Sense]. It perfectly meets Fellow Daoist’s requirements. Fellow Daoist can try to refine it.”

“It’s actually a spirit sword?”

The Treasure-Laden Youth looked delighted upon seeing this. He hurriedly took the [Avici Sword] and, after examining it carefully, nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad, indeed very good!”

“Deal?” Lu Yang smiled genially.

The Treasure-Laden Youth nodded. “Deal!”

Both host and guest were happy.

Following that, a few more Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones came forward to trade, but the response was mediocre. After about half an hour, all the Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones had taken a turn.

Only then did the host, Old Man Dragon Angler, step out again and announce the end of the transaction.

Then, just as when they arrived, the Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones left quietly one by one. Before long, the huge cave abode was left with only Old Man Dragon Angler and the Treasure-Laden Youth.

Seeing this, Old Man Dragon Angler said solemnly, “Are you certain?”

“Certain!”

While examining the [Avici Sword], the Treasure-Laden Youth said in a deep voice, “To be able to give away such a spirit sword so casually, who else could it be but a Saint Sect Perfected One?”

“That wasn’t given casually.” Old Man Dragon Angler shook his head. “Given the style of those Saint Sect Perfected Ones, how could they casually trade away such a Superior Spirit Treasure? Leaving now, he has probably gone back to call for helpers. In a while, he will return with a surprise attack to snatch everything back…”

“Hmph! He has helpers, do we not?”

The Treasure-Laden Youth smiled coldly. “Han Xiang thought she hid it well, but she doesn’t know that the smell of fox stench on her couldn’t deceive my Sniffing Hound Technique at all.”

“She guards Mount Gaizhu and previously had little interest in trading. Now she came with a stranger; I knew then that the situation had changed.”

“A Saint Sect Perfected One, huh…”

Old Man Dragon Angler sighed. “Originally, I only wanted to use the name of trading to hook a few Jiangbei cultivators as a pledge of allegiance. I didn’t expect to catch a big fish.”

“Only big fish have value!”

The Treasure-Laden Youth’s expression was fierce as he said in a deep voice, “Send a signal to ask the people from the Dao Court for support. I will chase after him now. We absolutely cannot let this person leave.”

Old Man Dragon Angler hesitated upon hearing this. “Not wait a bit longer?”

At these words, new hatred and old grudges against the Saint Sect surged in the Treasure-Laden Youth’s heart. He immediately flicked his sleeves and stood up. “The longer I wait, the more things might change! I’ll go first!”
