The Rules of the Trade Fair
Su Boyang spoke with great conviction, Yi Yun felt an urge to tear the old scoundrel's face off. He had never seen such a shameless old man.
"Master Su, is it too far-fetched to say that young friend Yi Yun's lineage comes from your Danxin Sect based solely on a single pill formula?"
Elder Mu frowned as well. This Su Boyang was shameless; he said such things just because the pill formula was too heavy.
But thinking about it, this old guy wasn't exactly a shameless person to begin with. Otherwise, he would have directly threatened Yi Yun with his voice just now. An old monster resorting to threats at a trade fair just because he couldn't compete with a junior. You can imagine what kind of character this old guy has.
"Whether I've wronged him or not, we'll find out by verifying it. I believe that many of the things this young friend possesses are related to my Danxin Sect. In particular, my Danxin Sect once lost a Medicine Furnace... Although the Medicine Furnace was lost, we still have a fragment of the core array of the Medicine Furnace. This fragment of the array has existed in my Danxin Sect for tens of millions of years. A few days ago, it suddenly became sensitive. Originally, even the elders of my Danxin Sect were unsure why it reacted, but now, I have some doubts..."
Upon hearing this, Su Boyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Yun. He was only guessing and not certain.
Yi Yun was startled.
Medicine Furnace!?
He guessed that the Medicine Furnace Su Boyang mentioned was most likely the Medicine God Cauldron!
It is true that Su Boyang said they possessed the core array fragment of the Medicine God Cauldron. There was a subtle connection between the Medicine God Cauldron and this array fragment.
"Could it be that you suspect young friend Yi Yun of having your Danxin Sect's Medicine Furnace in his Space Ring?" Elder Mu asked.
"Indeed, that's why I want to examine it. After all, this was originally part of my Danxin Sect's heritage; it's lost, and we must retrieve it. According to the rules of the Tiannan Great World, the forced transaction rule states that if someone finds a treasure that is proven to have originally belonged to someone else, then the original owner has the right to force a transaction to buy back their original treasure. However, in reality, very few people use this forced transaction rule because in the Tiannan Great World, the strong are respected, and such matters are often resolved with violence. Of course, my Danxin Sect is quite principled. I believe that young friend Yi Yun only obtained something from my Danxin Sect by chance. If you simply take it out for the transaction, I can guarantee that the Danxin Sect will not hold it against you."
Su Boyang did not reveal the value of the Medicine God Cauldron, firstly because he feared others might covet it, and secondly because he genuinely did not know.
In reality, the Danxin Sect had never seen the Medicine God Cauldron; they only deduced that the Medicine God Cauldron was extraordinary based on its core array.
Su Boyang wasn't sure if Yi Yun really possessed the Medicine God Cauldron, but he was certain that Yi Yun must have some extraordinary inheritance. Otherwise, let alone the Method of Nourishing Medicine, he would never have been able to produce that God King Immortal Jade and those eighty million Mid-grade Spirit Jade.
Su Boyang's so-called "forced transaction" principle was merely a declaration at the trade fair that everything belonging to Yi Yun belonged to the Danxin Sect, and that it was perfectly legitimate for the Danxin Sect to take it back. As for people from other sects, they shouldn't even think about it.
Even when hungry tigers fight over food, there must be rules. Yi Yun, this piece of meat, belongs to the Danxin Sect.
"Sect Leader Yi, sigh, didn't the Lord of Pure Moon Island already tell you to keep a low profile?"
Not far from Yi Yun, Ren Yunzong, using his Yuan Qi to transmit his voice.
Showing off wealth at a trade fair requires caution, and if you don't have the means, yet you've brought out God King Immortal Jade, isn't that tantamount to telling others that you've had a great stroke of luck and acquired a fortune?
Not to mention that they just happened to run into the Danxin Sect's guns right now, even if the Danxin Sect members didn't say anything, there are probably quite a few people who are thinking about robbing Yi Yun.
Yi Yun said calmly, "This junior naturally knows that keeping a low profile is safer, but when an opportunity arises, we martial artists must always strive for it. Otherwise, we may never reach the Martial Dao Peak in this lifetime. As for these people, this junior will take responsibility for them. Sect Master Ren need not worry about being dragged into this."
Yi Yun naturally knew what Ren Yunzong was thinking. He was afraid of being implicated, but he didn't care about Ren Yunzong's thoughts. After all, Tian Tianshu Gate had no connection with him. Did he expect them to help him in times of trouble?
"You... Hmph! I gave you a few pointers, but you don't appreciate my kindness. You really don't know what's good for you!"
Ren Yunzong's expression was unpleasant. Although that was exactly what he was thinking, he couldn't save face after Yi Yun saw through his intentions.
"Well, young friend Yi Yun, could I borrow your Space Ring for a look? If you truly possess a pill-refining furnace or Method of Nourishing Medicine, I will trade it at market price."
Master Su said with a cold laugh, his tone aggressive.
As for what market price they're talking about, nobody believes that. Whether it's the alchemy furnace or the Method of Nourishing Medicine, even a fool would know how precious they are.
"Su Boyang, have you said enough?" Elder Mu suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop several degrees.
Um?
Su Boyang's heart skipped a beat. In that instant, he felt a powerful aura enveloping him, making his heart tighten.
He looked at Elder Mu, only to find that Elder Mu's aura was deep and his energy completely locked onto him.
Although Elder Mu appeared calm, at this moment, Su Boyang felt as if a sword tip was pressed against his brow, as if the old man before him had transformed into a dangerous ancient Giant Beast.
He then realized that he seemed to have crossed Elder Mu's bottom line.
It seems that too much time has passed, and many people have forgotten his strength in the face of this jovial old man.
"Forced transactions are the rule of Tiannan Great World. The Tiannan Peak Summit's trade fair has my own rules, and at this trade fair, my rules must be followed."
Elder Mu spoke slowly and deliberately, each word like a sword piercing Su Boyang's soul.
Su Boyang's heart skipped a beat; his aura was completely overwhelmed by Elder Mu.
Su Boyang gritted his teeth, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I was presumptuous and offended Elder Mu. Please forgive me..."
Faced with overwhelming power, he had no choice but to yield. But it didn't matter; his words just now merely declared "ownership" of Yi Yun, his prey, and he had already achieved his goal.
"Then let's continue!"
Elder Mu spoke calmly, and as he spoke, his breathing gradually subsided, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed considerably.
This time, naturally no one dared to act recklessly.
However, many people still thought Yi Yun was finished.
Elder Mu did speak up to protect Yi Yun, but that was because it was at the trade fair, Elder Mu had to uphold the rules of the trade fair. Yi Yun was not his disciple, and once they left the trade fair, Elder Mu had no obligation to guarantee Yi Yun's safety.
What awaits Yi Yun is the behemoth that is the Danxin Sect, or perhaps other forces that also want a piece of the pie, which may secretly carry out a murder and robbery.
Regardless of the outcome, Yi Yun's fate was predictable. At this moment, everyone was looking at Yi Yun. It was impossible for them not to be jealous of Yi Yun's previous outrageous bid. Now that they saw Yi Yun in trouble, most of them were gloating.
"Doesn't Yi Yun have any self-awareness? A martial artist with only the Dao Palace Realm cultivation level acting so arrogantly at the trade fair is like a sheep jumping into a pack of wolves and provoking them."
People whispered among themselves. Hearing this, Prince Tianhao smiled with satisfaction. The opportunity for revenge had come so quickly. He was just waiting to see Yi Yun be devoured, leaving not even a trace.
