New Chapter 180: Extraordinary Objects Beyond the Heavens Are Astonishing
Starlight flows like water, and meteorites appear in clusters. This place, which should be a silent deep space far from habitable planets, is bustling with people.
On a small meteorite, only a dozen meters long, there was a stall. A middle-aged man looked up at Wang Xuan with an extremely solemn expression and said, "Brother, there is a light gathering above your head, and the auspicious patterns are condensing. This is a sign that you are about to soar to the sky."
Wang Xuan was looking down at the familiar-looking item when the stall owner's serious evaluation startled him.
He was well aware of his own situation. Patterns were materializing on his skull. He was trying to take the path of Dao-imperialized at the True Immortal stage. Had he been discovered?
The middle-aged man looked him up and down, then nodded solemnly and said, "This item on my stall is destined for you. Perhaps it should be said that it was meant to be yours. I'm giving it to you for free today."
Wang Xuan was immediately filled with respect. This place was a melting pot of all sorts of people, how could a street vendor have such high moral character? Ultimately, the competition was fierce and life was tough.
Sure enough, Wu Xingtian poked out his wolverine head and said, "Alright, you Black Heart Old Eight, everyone says the same thing. You've no bottom line when it comes to selling the junk on your stall."
"How much is this?" Wang Xuan asked, picking up a large, black umbrella. It was silent and without any flowing runes, and it was quite damaged.
The Black Heart Old Eight said, "This is a sacred item with an immeasurable background. Legend has it that it is related to a saint, and it may even be a remnant of a forbidden item."
After saying this, he washed his hands with clean water, and then carefully picked up the large black umbrella, saying, "It broke free from the Space-time Vortex. It was shrouded in chaotic energy and pierced through the body of an unimaginable creature, dripping with blood, before falling into the mortal world. You can imagine how fierce that battle was. The powerful figure who died was suspected to be an extraordinary being, killed by this umbrella!"
Wang Xuan looked at him and realized that it was really difficult to do business with a stall owner who was so "well-mannered." The other party was so eloquent that even a dead tree could sprout new leaves with a single spit.
Wu Xingtian said with dissatisfaction, "Let's go. Don't buy anything from him. He's too greedy. It's just a broken umbrella, but he's making it sound like a sacred object. Let him keep it for himself!"
The Black Heart Old Eight laughed, "Even if the deal falls through, we can still be friendly. Don't be impatient, I'll give you a discount. You can take it with just one Dragon Blood Grass. Also, you can take a look at my other treasures, all of which have extraordinary origins."
Wang Xuan sighed, "Eighth Brother, your things are too expensive. I won't look at anything else, because if I just glance at them, you're guaranteed to tell me a whole story. You'll need to expend a lot of energy, and I'll have to distract myself listening to your rambling."
He stood up abruptly.
"No, I'll give you a discount. This whole pile of stuff only includes one Immortal Medicine. The price is fair." The Black Heart Old Eight pulled out a bunch of items.
Wang Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded and immediately decided to make the purchase.
"Look carefully," Wu Xingtian Black Peacock, kindly reminded Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan nodded, and then he saw that the Black Heart Old Eight had put a jade jar aside on the street stall.
"Why did you take it away at the last minute?" Wang Xuan asked, displeased.
Black Heart Old Eight Ba chuckled and said, "Brother, you really have a good eye. Among this pile of things, this tea fruit is the most extraordinary. It can help people to comprehend the Dao. You actually saw it at a glance. I'm afraid you've always cared about it, haven't you?"
Wang Xuan remained calm. Indeed, he was only concerned with the tea caddy, which contained five tea fruits, each about the size of a thumb and a different color.
He was naturally familiar with it; in the world behind his destiny, there was a tea tree that had once borne the same tea fruit.
In the Mother Universe, there is only one strange tea tree in the entire immortal realm. It was originally a celestial medicine, but it failed to transform into a higher level and turned into a tea tree.
It once belonged to Heng Jun, but was later confiscated by Wang Xuan, who then dug it up when he sneaked into the Immortal Realm.
Heng Jun, however, died tragically because he held the Ascension Banner in his hand.
In the past, this tea was known as the number one tea in the celestial realm, and top figures were fortunate enough to taste it, with some even collecting it.
After all, even Huang Ming, Great Immortal Huang Zh Xian Tea House, took out two tea fruits from his family in the early days in order to make a name for himself.
In the celestial realm of the Mother Universe, this is a very popular and widely circulated wonder.
Who brought it here? Wang Xuan couldn't tell.
Some people in the Mother Universe Immortal Realm may still have collections, but Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, and Old Zhong definitely have them; they were personally given to them by Wang Xuan.
Was it Chen Yongjie, Zhong Yong, and others who were brought here from ancient times, who actually appeared in this star field? Or was it Fang Yuzhu, Old Zhang, Mingxue, the Demon Lord, and others who successfully traveled with the Supernatural Light Sea and came to this universe, passing through here?
Wang Xuan wanted to know why these tea fruits had ended up in the wrong place, where the original owner of the tea fruits was, and what had become of him.
"I'm not lying to you, this kind of rare item can indeed help people achieve enlightenment. I've personally brewed several pots of tea with it, and the effects are extraordinary," said the Black Heart Old Eight. He was unhurried and calm, showing no rush to sell.
Wu Xingtian squatted down. Although he now had a wolverine head, the rest of his body had transformed into a human form. He reached out to take the jade jar, but was stopped by the Black Heart Old Eight.
Wang Xuan said, "How about this, Eighth Brother, let me smell the fragrant aroma of the tea fruit to determine if it is a priceless treasure."
Black Heart Old Eight hesitated slightly, but finally opened the jar. Although he was in deep space, as a true immortal, he naturally had a way to smell the aroma of tea.
Wang Xuan was certain that this was the tea fruit from the Mother Universe, and definitely not a product of this world.
Moreover, after careful observation with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he could confirm that the texture of the tea fruit was consistent with what he had seen before.
"Where did you get these tea fruits? I'd like to buy them in bulk," Wang Xuan said calmly, then quickly added, "Don't tell stories, I don't like listening to them."
Black Heart Old Eight hesitated slightly, then finally said, "I can't get the goods. I found this in an abandoned cave on a nearby sacred mountain."
"Are you sure?" Wang Xuan activated his divine sense, stared at him, and only after confirming that he was not lying did he stand up, shoving the tea canister into his hand without any hesitation, discarding it like a worn-out shoe.
Knowing its origins and understanding certain things, only a fool would be foolish enough to spend an exorbitant price to buy five tea fruits.
Now, in the world behind his destiny, the Immortal Tea Tree has revived, and with the replenishment of the gentle mythical substances in this universe, the tree has sprouted again.
Wang Xuan was certain that in a few years, new tea fruits would grow, and then he could brew a pot of tea every day without any problem.
"Hey brother, don't go! The price is negotiable, let's talk some more," Black Heart Old Eight called out from behind.
Wang Xuan ignored him and went with Wu Xingtian to other meteorites to see all sorts of strange objects; there were just too many good things there.
But he was somewhat distracted, thinking about what had just happened.
The tea fruit was found on a nearby sacred mountain. Did someone from the past come here to live in seclusion and then leave in a hurry, or is it related to the special formation of this place?
It is important to know that this no-man's-land is far from peaceful. More than a hundred years ago, strange scenes have appeared from time to time, and even fairy mountains and floating islands have broken free from the Space-time Vortex.
Did the tea fruit also fall from those wondrous sights along with the sacred mountain?
Ahead lies a large meteorite, several kilometers long, with over a dozen retro-style buildings on it, selling far more amazing artifacts than those found at street stalls.
"This is our store's prized possession. Do you see it? A Five-Colored Strange Bamboo with Innate Five Elements Power. If you can integrate it into your own essence and refine it with your heart, it can sweep away all things!" the shopkeeper introduced.
Wang Xuan was taken aback. This was no ordinary thing. He had seen the Ten-Colored Strange Bamboo reflected in the pool of the Floating Boat Pure Land, and it was a priceless treasure.
Unfortunately, he didn't find it in the True Saint's Backyard, which he had run into; he guessed it was in some other secret realm.
"Five-Colored Strange Bamboo?" Luo Ying, a renowned prodigy from the Black Peacock Clan, approached. She wore a long black dress, her hair flowing over her shoulders, her skin fair, her face oval, and her eyes gleaming with divine light.
She wore a well-fitting black dress that accentuated her cool and aloof demeanor; although she looked beautiful, she seemed quite assertive.
Wu Xingtian stood quietly to the side, watching, unable to move, unwilling to leave.
The shopkeeper explained earnestly, "That's right. This rare bamboo only grows one section every tens of thousands of years. Now it has five colors and five sections, and it already possesses the Innate Five Elements Origin Power. It is a divine object that extraordinary people dream of."
"How much?" A slight ripple in the depths of Luo Ying's eyes disappeared. She was very excited and wanted to condense the source of the Innate Five Elements Power.
"We need a miraculous medicine that can allow the primordial spirit of a 'Super Peerless level' expert to undergo a rebirth," the shopkeeper said solemnly.
Black Peacock Luo Ying's eyes sharpened. "You're asking for the moon. To make Super Peerless break through their limits once more, what level of miraculous medicine would that be?"
"However, the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo is itself an extraordinary treasure!" the shopkeeper said solemnly, adding, "At worst, the exchange should include a rare medicine that can make someone 'Super Peerless'."
Wang Xuan was astonished. Five-Colored Strange Bamboo was that precious?!
He was somewhat regretful that he hadn't found the True Saint's first backyard, and he still didn't know which secret realm the Ten-Colored Strange Bamboo was in. He would definitely find it in the future!
"Let me see." At this moment, a woman dressed in white came to the meteorite, set her sights on the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo, and asked the shopkeeper for it.
She was a noblewoman from the Extraordinary Dynasty of the Eternal Life Star Domain, a princess, dressed in pure white, which contrasted sharply with Luo Ying's long black dress.
"I'll choose one first," Luo Ying said coldly.
"But you didn't close the deal," the white-clothed woman with a smile.
Two gorgeous women, with extremely outstanding appearance and temperament. One is brilliant, the other is cold and charming. They look at each other with sparks of electricity in their eyes.
"Hey, it's the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo. If you integrate it into yourself, you can forge the Innate Five Elements Divine Wheel, making you invincible. This is truly Rare Strange Item. I never expected to encounter it here." A young man walked over.
In the blink of an eye, six core disciples of top sects with similar backgrounds and astonishing origins gathered here, all eyeing the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo.
"Hehe, that's rare. There's something like this here. Not bad." A man with writing on his face walked over.
"Someone from the Tattoo Palace?" someone asked, staring at the young man with a question in their eyes.
Not far away, Wang Xuan remained calm and showed no signs of distress, but he was somewhat agitated. He had unexpectedly encountered people from the Tattoo Palace, whom his parents had mentioned.
Long years have passed, and this organization still exists; today, someone has appeared.
Wang Xuan couldn't make a move here, so he pulled the immobile Wu Xingtian away and headed towards another meteorite. There were just too many stalls, sellers, and buyers.
Under the starry sky, this cluster of meteorites was incredibly lively.
"What's going on? Grandmaster of the Thieves' Realm —Senior Hell Black Ant, why haven't you made a sale yet? I'm still waiting!" In the distance, on a large meteorite, many people were waiting.
A black-skinned ant-man stepped forward and said, "My grandfather is taking inventory of the rare items. Today, I'll tell you something extraordinary. After several attempts to traverse into the blurry scene, my grandfather has determined that the ruins inside are very large. Back then, there may have been two or three alien civilizations that encountered each other when they descended upon the Supernatural Central Great World, resulting in a chaotic battle."
This news shocked many people.
Even Wang Xuan was unable to calm down; his emotions were churning violently. Could such a thing have actually happened?!
