Under the gaze of the crowd, the two True Lord exchanged a glance.

They exchanged a glance.

The one Star Crown turned to look at the crowd, reached out and swept his hand across the table, revealing a pile of parchment scrolls.

Indeed, more than a dozen parchment scrolls appeared on the table, piled up like a small mountain.

He then cleared his throat and began to introduce himself casually, "Well, I've brought a batch of Route Map with me this time."

"It just so happens that it is also related to the upcoming opening of the Vast Sea Secret Realm Inner Realm."

"What I'm about to say may already be known to some of you, but some of you may not be aware of it yet."

"Therefore, I will explain in more detail, please don't think I'm being too long-winded."

"Tsk, where should I begin?"

"You've all probably heard of the Desolate Beast Remnant, right? Should I introduce them first?"

Um?

Desolate Beast Remnant?

Xiao Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had already visited the Scripture Pavilion of the Yin Corpse Sect, the Heavenly Sound Sect, and the Golden Haze Sect.

However, neither of these sources mentioned any Desolate Beast Remnant.

It's unclear what the origins of these two cultivators are, but they somehow possess such Secret Intelligence.

The other True Lord also showed hesitation upon hearing this question.

They looked at each other, speechless.

It seems that Xiao Chen wasn't the only one unaware of this; in fact, no one in the entire Eastern Domain knew about it.

This is obviously a bit awkward.

Someone asked a casual question, and a whole group of Nascent Soul True Lord couldn't answer it.

Finally, Vice President Gu spoke up with a smile, "I really don't know anything about this so-called Desolate Beast Remnant."

"Why don't we start here and help me clear up my confusion?"

The unfamiliar True Lord didn't say anything more, only nodding slightly. "That's fine then."

"The so-called Desolate Beast Remnant are the descendants left behind by ancient Desolate Beast."

"There are both purebreds and hybrids, but without exception, they all inherit the two most important characteristics of Desolate Beast."

First, he was born with an exceptionally strong physique.

"The hide and flesh of an adult Desolate Beast are almost as tough as a spirit shield, and ordinary Flying Sword and Spirit Artifact are often ineffective against them."

"At the same time, it has extremely strong vitality and an astonishing ability to recover."

"Unless the injury is fatal and causes immediate death, the patient can recover completely within ten days."

"Secondly, they are Spiritual Intelligence weak but extremely ferocious, acting mostly on instinct like wild beasts."

"Apart from those of the same kind, it is very difficult to coexist peacefully with them, whether they are humans, demons, spirits, monsters, or even other Desolate Beast."

"Many times, simply passing within the sight of Desolate Beast can lead to unprovoked attacks."

"In addition, there is now a third characteristic."

"That means all the Desolate Beast have disappeared from the outside world, with only a few surviving in a very small number of ruins and Secret Realm with special internal environments."

"If anyone claims to have seen Desolate Beast Remnant outside, they are absolutely a fraud."

After he explained it that way, everyone understood.

In some legends of the past, there have been accounts of Desolate Beast.

However, in the past, such things were similar to so-called Divine Beast.

Many people have heard of it, but no one has actually seen it.

Unexpectedly, the Desolate Beast still has descendants, and judging from their words, they seem to be in the Vast Sea Secret Realm.

As expected.

The unfamiliar True Lord immediately continued, "According to reliable intelligence, several different Desolate Beast Remnant still survive in the Core Area of the Inner Realm."

"More than one colleague has witnessed this firsthand in the past."

"There were even top-tier True Lord who successfully counterattacked and killed the invading Desolate Beast Remnant, and brought them out from their Inner Realm."

Therefore, the evidence in this matter is irrefutable and there is absolutely no falsehood.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Long Pavilion was astonished.

They were astonished, wondering who these two unfamiliar True Lord were and why they knew so much Secret Intelligence.

Why have I never heard of such news before?

They all turned their attention to the stack of parchment scrolls on the table.

Could it be that this batch of Route Map records the locations of the Desolate Beast Remnant within the Vast Sea Secret Realm Inner Realm?

Everyone guessed correctly.

After speaking, the True Lord immediately pointed to the parchment scrolls. "The locations of the four Desolate Beast Remnant are recorded on these Route Map."

"At the same time, based on calculations and verification of Ancient Books, we have inferred their approximate range of activity."

"If any fellow cultivators are interested, they can exchange a mid- Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material for one map."

"I have no requirements for the spiritual item; any Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material will suffice."

"By the way, I won't mention the reference price; these kinds of things are hard to value."

His asking price wasn't high; in fact, it could be considered low. Upon hearing this, almost everyone became interested.

"Fellow Daoist, since there are only four locations of the Desolate Beast Remnant, yet so many Route Map, there must be duplicate Route Map among them."

Withered Leaf True Monarch was the first to ask, "Could you tell me how many of each Route Map there are?"

"Outer Dao, since you possess the Route Map, you should also have information about those four Desolate Beast Remnant, right?"

"Why not take them out together and trade them?"

His question was very tricky.

It appears to be a question, but it's actually a way of subtly trying to extract information.

Firstly, the number of different Route Map can be used to indirectly determine the strength of different Desolate Beast Remnant.

Secondly, it was also to inquire in advance about the price required to purchase information on Desolate Beast beasts later.

It's important to know that Withered Leaf True Monarch, as a businessman, is all too familiar with selling intelligence at such low prices.

Imagine someone buys Route Map but doesn't know anything about the Desolate Beast Remnant, what would they do?

They would definitely choose to inquire further or purchase relevant information.

At that time, by breaking down and selling the detailed information on the four Desolate Beast Remnant, we can make an extra fortune.

"That's a good question, fellow Daoist. I wasn't clear enough in my explanation."

Upon hearing this, the True Lord immediately explained, "Actually, the contents of these Route Map are all the same."

"Each map shows the activity range of all four remnant Desolate Beast Remnant, along with the locations where they have appeared."

"Interested fellow cultivators only need to purchase one copy."

"As for detailed information about those four Desolate Beast Remnant, I did bring it with me."

"But this item has a different price."

"The price varies for each different Desolate Beast Remnant, depending on its level of danger and the level of detail in the information."

"The cheapest is the Barbaric Scale Insect, which only requires any Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material."

"Secondly, the Three-leaf Flying Butterfly requires a high-quality, Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material worth no less than 500,000 Spirit Stone."

"Then comes the Crimson Pattern Sky Swallowing Python; any Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item will suffice."

"Finally, there's the Long-toothed Mountain Boar, which requires two Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item to exchange for."

What?

Upon hearing the final price, almost everyone was taken aback.

This is way too expensive!

It's worth noting that Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item and Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material sound almost the same.

However, in reality, since almost all Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item are items that become scarce once used, their actual value differs by at least several times.

For a mere piece of information about Desolate Beast, the other party dared to demand the exorbitant price of two Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item.

No one can understand what gave them the confidence to do this.

In any case, everyone present asked themselves honestly, and none of them would be willing to spend such a high price to buy such expensive intelligence.

"I'll get a different Route Map."

Xiao Chen casually picked out a Fourth-tier Mid-grade Spiritual Material from his Storage Ring and used his Law Power to deliver it to the other party.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, wouldn't you like some information on the Desolate Beast Remnant?"

The True Lord looked at Xiao Chen with great interest. "So young and handsome, you must be the recently famous Demon Burning True Monarch, right?"

"With your strength, fellow Daoist, you should be able to operate within the Core Area of the Inner Realm."

"In that case, fellow Daoist, wouldn't you like to hunt down the Desolate Beast Remnant and exchange them for treasures with Qing Nang Venerable?"

Um?

Is this even possible?

Judging from his words, the Qing Nang Venerable must have already put up a bounty for the Desolate Beast Remnant.

Given that this concerns Spirit Transformation Venerable and is taking place in such a public setting, a normal person would certainly not dare to speak recklessly.

In other words, either the information from the Eastern Domain is somewhat outdated, or the other side has very powerful intelligence channels that allow them to directly gather information about Spirit Transformation Venerable.

"Fellow Daoist seems to have great confidence in my strength."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "However, I don't have any plans to actively hunt Desolate Beast Remnant for the time being. I'll just leave it to fate."

Since the Route Map already marks the activity range of all four Desolate Beast Remnant.

That was enough for him; there was no need to study any more detailed information.

After all, other cultivators might buy intelligence and make corresponding preparations in advance, based on the idea that "knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

However, Xiao Chen didn't need to worry about the tough hides and thick flesh of the Desolate Beast Remnant being impossible to defeat.

Firstly, he possesses the Crimson Sky Mountain Severing Palm, which he has mastered through Hextech Buff, so theoretically its destructive power should be sufficient.

Secondly, if the subsequent transactions go smoothly.

He will soon receive the Complete Fusion Spirit Tool specially crafted for him.

With this powerful weapon in hand, not only can one not withstand flesh and blood, but even a true spirit shield would be no match for it.

It's worth noting that the spearhead Xiao Chen provided pierced the heart of a Fifth-tier Barbarian Elephant.

Even if the so-called Desolate Beast Remnant are powerful, they can't possibly be more powerful than Fifth-Tier Great Demon.

That's why he chose to exchange only one Route Map.

"I see."

The unfamiliar True Lord was clearly somewhat surprised, but he didn't offer any further advice.

Instead, he used his true essence to send over a parchment scroll, adding, "This transaction remains valid until the Vast Sea Secret Realm opens."

"If you need anything, you are welcome to come to me at any time."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "Or you could go to President Gu."

Upon seeing Xiao Chen's purchase Route Map, the other True Lord also sprang into action.

Since the content is the same, you can simply buy one copy and exchange them privately.

However, since the price of buying Route Map individually wasn't expensive, no one did that.

Basically, each sect bought one individually, sharing it only with their own members.

The mysterious True Lord had clearly made preparations for sharing on a small scale, so he only brought about ten Route Map in the first place.

Even so, after a series of exchanges, four cards remained.

Because the Golden Whip True Monarch, the Lie Que True Monarch, the Withered Leaf True Monarch, and the Three White-Bearded Immortals had no intention of going to the Core Area of the Inner Realm.

The main reason is that these individuals are either too old, are the sole pillars of their sects, or are simply not skilled in combat.

All actions are based on a cautious and safe approach.

From the very beginning, all I wanted to do was try my luck in the outer areas of the Inner Realm.

Therefore, upon hearing that the Desolate Beast Remnant were located in the Core Area, they had already given up on all other ideas.

In fact, if the Heavenly Sound Sect had refused to form an alliance with the Yin Corpse Sect, then Shu Yu True Monarch would most likely have continued to wander the outer areas.

Even figures like Hidden Ice True Monarch and Lie Que True Monarch didn't buy the Route Map for hunting.

On the contrary, they simply wanted to gain access to the activity range of the Desolate Beast Remnant.

Then actively avoid those places to improve your own safety.

It's important to understand that the remnants of Desolate Beast Remnant are already very dangerous.

Wouldn't someone who knowingly goes there to hunt be even more dangerous than the Desolate Beast Remnant?

So anyone who wants to go to those four places can go; those guys definitely won't go.

It is precisely because of this situation.

So although everyone exchanged a lot of Route Map, almost no one was willing to exchange them for detailed information on the Desolate Beast Remnant.

Only Hundred Herbs City and Five Thunder Temple exchanged for a piece of information about the Barbaric Scale Insect.

In addition, the Star Plucking Sword Pavilion also exchanged for an extra piece of information about the Three-leaf Flying Butterfly.

"Is there any other fellow cultivator willing to make an exchange?"

Although the information sales weren't going well, the mysterious True Lord didn't seem to be in a hurry. "In any case, before the Inner Realm opens, everyone can go see President Gu at any time."

After saying that, he waved his hand again to put away the remaining Route Map.

Immediately afterwards.

Another mysterious True Lord, who had been sitting silently in his chair, placed a small boat, which he had somehow produced, directly on the table.

The small boat was only the size of a palm; it was more like a flat-bottomed boat without oars than a boat.

He didn't say anything and continued to sit upright.

The same True Lord introduced it as before, "This item is called the Void Crossing Hunting Boat, and it is a combined war Spirit Artifact."

"Its prototype comes from the Monster Hunting Boat built by the Ancient Spirit Boat Workshop to fight against the Demon Beast tide."

"However, some improvements have been made to make it more robust and durable, easier to repair, and more compact and portable."

"Don't let its small size fool you, it's actually a full 106 feet long and 46 feet wide."

"The surface of the Void Crossing Hunting Boat is engraved with a large number of Wind Element Artifact Inscriptions. As long as it is powered by Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, its flight speed is no less than that of Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator."

"If necessary, by increasing the supply of Spirit Stone, it can achieve a flight speed of up to twice that of Nascent Soul Great Perfection."

"In addition, the ship also carries a Fourth-tier Defensive Formation and a Fourth-tier Entrapment Formation."

"The former can separate the battlefield and assist the driver in defense."

"With sufficient Spirit Stone, it can withstand a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator for more than two hours."

"The latter can seal off an area within a hundred miles of the ship, preventing cultivators inside from leaving until the great formation is dispelled or destroyed."

ah?

What is it?

The people in the Long Pavilion were dumbfounded upon hearing this, all staring at the small spirit boat with incredulous expressions.

It's not that there aren't spirit ships in the Eastern Domain; on the contrary, many large spirit ships have been built to facilitate navigation at sea.

Therefore, we can say that we have ample experience in this area.

But that's precisely why they were so shocked.

It's important to know that the spirit ships in the Eastern Domain have two major drawbacks.

The first drawback is that in order to install Defensive Formation on the spirit ship, the spirit ship has to be built to be very large.

However, this means that it cannot be stored in Storage Ring when not in use, which means it loses its portability.

The second drawback is that it is difficult to manage different formations simultaneously.

Therefore, usually, people use Small Spirit Ship to carry out Reconnaissance Formation, while Medium Spirit Boat are used only for setting up Defensive Formation.

As for the large spirit ships with different formations, that's actually Clever Trick.

Alternatively, a separate compartment could be built within the spacious cabin, where the remaining formations could be arranged separately.

Alternatively, they could simply and directly load several Small Spirit Ship into the ship's hold, which could even be used for reconnaissance when needed.

They had never seen such a small spirit ship before, no bigger than the palm of their hand.

It can be stored in Storage Ring and also support two sets of Fourth-tier Grand Array.

This sounds incredible.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wishing they could see right through the Void Crossing Hunting Boat.

However, one person's reaction was different, and that was Xiao Chen.

His first thought was—you guys have boats too?

Not long ago, he learned about the Blazing Flame Warship from the New Cultivation World.

Although this Void Crossing Hunting Boat sounds pretty good.

However, compared to other weapons, the Blazing Flame Warship, capable of simultaneously fighting five Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators, is definitely superior.

The question is whether the Blazing Flame Warship is fast, and whether it carries any Entrapment Formation.

However, considering the level of formations in the New Cultivation World, this shouldn't be a problem.

However, on the other hand, this Void Crossing Hunting Boat is, after all, a product of this region, and it is also easy to carry.

At least in the Eastern Domain, it can be considered a top-tier treasure.

Xiao Chen glanced around and saw that the other True Lord were all staring intently at the Void Crossing Hunting Boat, each one of them envious.

This is understandable, given that such a Spirit Boat would have a significant impact on them.

Imagine how convenient it would be to bring such a Spirit Boat into the Vast Sea Secret Realm Inner Realm using Storage Ring!

Whether for self-defense or against the enemy, it is a great help.

Um?

Thinking about this, Xiao Chen suddenly realized a problem.

Since the Void Crossing Hunting Boat is so useful, why not keep it for yourself instead of exchanging it?

Could it be that they have something even better?

No way, are the Three Mountains Grotto-Heaven really that powerful?

"Fellow Daoists, I need not elaborate on the value of this Void Crossing Hunting Boat; you should all be well aware of it."

The mysterious True Lord smiled slightly, then quoted an exorbitant price. "Therefore, its exchange conditions will also be a bit higher."

"Only Breakthrough Spirit Item Spirit Transformation stage can be exchanged; nothing else is acceptable."

Good grief, so you're just here to show off, huh?

Upon hearing this condition, Xiao Chen secretly shook his head. It seemed that this Void Crossing Hunting Boat was quite valuable to them as well.

I might have been overthinking things; they might not even have a more powerful Spirit Boat.

The New Cultivation World is still stronger, and by a significant margin.

The others were all speechless.

Are you kidding me? This thing is indeed valuable, but no matter how valuable it is, it can't be equivalent to Breakthrough Spirit Item.

Even if it requires ten, twenty, or even thirty, Fourth-Order High-Grade Spirit Item.

People might also wonder if it's worth it, or try to collect the money.

However, if it's only limited to Breakthrough Spirit Item, then forget about it.

The opportunity to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage is far more precious than these things.

But you know what, the Exchange Meet only requires participants to bring one item, and it doesn't say they have to set a low price.

Moreover, the Void Crossing Hunting Boat is indeed a rare and valuable item, so it's not like they're deliberately inflating the price.

Even if we take a step back and say that everyone just considered it an eye-opening experience, no one expressed any dissatisfaction.

Everyone was busy admiring the Void Crossing Hunting Boat and memorizing its appearance.

Huo Xinghuai even asked, "This ship is truly a rare treasure; the more I look at it, the more I like it."

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, if you could use Memory Stone to document this boat?"

"So that it can be viewed again in the future."

The mysterious True Lord did not refuse, but only instructed, "Recording is naturally no problem. I didn't intend to keep it a secret when I took it out in front of all my fellow cultivators today."

"Just don't casually share this with your Guest Elder, or even outsiders."

Huo Xinghuai immediately understood. "Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will add a restriction to the Memory Stone, so that no one Nascent Soul Realm can view it."

After saying this, he immediately summoned a boy and had a batch of Memory Stone brought over.

He also made a record of the other Nascent Soul True Lord shared the same idea.

The mysterious True Lord did not seem to mind.

They originally wanted the other Nascent Soul True Lord to know about this, and the more True Lord knew, the better.

If it could be passed on to some Hidden Dao Heritage, then perhaps someone would actually be willing to make an exchange with them.

The more Nascent Soul True Lord are aware of this, the greater the probability of it happening.

After everyone had seen enough and used the Memory Stone,

Only then did the mysterious True Lord put away the Void Crossing Hunting Boat.

Thus, the first round of exchanges has concluded.

Since it was still early, and some True Lord brought more than one spiritual item to exchange.

Huo Xinghuai then presided over the second and third rounds of presentations.

However, the last two rounds were entirely voluntary.

Many True Lord, including Xiao Chen, did not continue to produce that spiritual object.

Moreover, the best items have already been revealed in the first round.

Therefore, what was brought out later were mostly ordinary spiritual items or Cultivation Method.

After reading the last two treatises, Xiao Chen couldn't find anything of interest.

After all three rounds of presentations were completed, the first day's exchange session came to a close.

It's only late afternoon, around 3 PM, but this Exchange Meet all about relaxation, so we've deliberately extended the time.

This will allow everyone to go back and consider the matter at their leisure, weighing the pros and cons.

In particular, during the first round of presentations, many items were not exchanged.

We should also allow some time for the parties involved to decide whether or not to lower the conditions.
