Flame Dealing and Item Dealing
After walking through the passageway, they arrived at the two feet of the Starry Sky Fire Phoenix building. While Lin Ming and Zi Yan were still debating which way to go up, a staff member saw Lin Ming and immediately walked over to them.
The newcomer wore a tight-fitting cheongsam that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure. Combined with her slender yet elegant face, she immediately drew attention.
Approaching Lin Ming and his companion, the woman spoke in a mature, sophisticated tone.
"This Wan'er. Greetings to you two distinguished guests. Is this your first time visiting the Nong Yan Pavilion? May I ask whether you have come for the purpose of Flame Dealing or for Item Dealing?"
"Flame Dealing? Item Dealing?" After hearing the words of the woman named Wan'er, Lin Ming and Zi Yan exchanged a glance and asked with doubt.
"Esteemed guests, it's like this. 'Flame Dealing' and 'Item Dealing' are unique names used by our Nong Yan Pavilion. Entering through these two different passages will lead to different services. Entering from the left will lead to Flame Dealing, which involves all transactions related to flames, hence the name. Entering from the right Flame Dealing will lead to Item Dealing, Flame Dealing is the same as other shops, where you can buy and sell using Gold Coin and other valuables." Seeing the puzzled looks on Lin Ming and his companion's faces, Wan'er immediately explained.
"Oh, your Nong Yan Pavilion even has a special place for trading flames." Lin Ming said with some surprise after hearing Wan'er's introduction.
"Yes!" Wan'er replied with a smile in response to Lin Ming's words.
"Then Flame Dealing's place!" After receiving Wan'er's reply, Lin Ming immediately made his decision.
Lin Ming didn't have much need for other items. Of course, Lin Ming was still quite lacking in things like 6th Grade or higher medicinal formulas and Earth Tier Dou Technique. But it was obvious that these things wouldn't appear so easily.
These things, even if they did appear, would only be available at major auctions. Right now, in shops open every day, the most Dou Technique Cultivation Method are at Profound Tier High-grade. As for pill formulas, those are even rarer; having a few reaching the 4th Grade would be considered good. The rest, let alone the 6th Grade, probably don't even have the Fifth Grade. So, it makes no difference whether you look at these regular items or not; you might as well go check out this so-called Flame Dealing.
"Then, esteemed guests, please follow Wan'er this way." Upon hearing Lin Ming's decision, Wan'er respectfully invited Lin Ming and his companion with a smile to head towards the Phoenix Foot Passage on the left.
"Zi Yan, let's go!" After calling out to Zi Yan, he led Zi Yan towards the direction Wan'er had invited.
The Phoenix Foot's claws extended into different passages, and Lin Ming was currently walking through the middle one.
Led by Wan'er, Lin Ming and his companion soon reached the end of the phoenix claw, arriving at the line connecting the claw and the phoenix leg.
Upon arriving here, all the passages of this leg converge. At that moment, an array instantly activated in front of Lin Ming and the others.
"Distinguished guests, this formation involves spatial teleportation. Although it's only a short distance, it still requires Dou Zong expert to complete. Of course, precisely because the distance is so short, we don't need those Space Ships with Space Passage. We only need to stand inside this formation to enter the interior of the Fire Phoenix, which is also our Nong Yan Grounds." Upon arriving in front of the formation, Wan'er immediately began to explain.
Upon hearing Wan'er's explanation, Lin Ming immediately thought of the elevator from his previous life. However, this one involved Space Power. Space Power was something that could only be accessed by those who had entered the Dou Zong realm, so the Old Ghost Di Mo probably set one up here to demonstrate the power of the Magic Flame Valley.
Watching Wan'er walk into the formation after her introduction, Lin Ming didn't delay. He exchanged a glance with Zi Yan and then stepped into the formation as well.
The key reason Lin Ming was able to enter the formation with peace of mind was because Zi Yan was by his side. With Zi Yan's Innate Supernatural Power as Ancient Void Dragon, even if something went wrong here, Zi Yan would be able to bring Lin Ming out of this space.
Wan'er was right about one thing: the Space Passage here was indeed extremely short. Lin Ming estimated that he himself could break through the space to escape from such a short distance, let alone with Zi Yan present.
If this were a long-distance Space Passage, Lin Ming wouldn't have entered like this. Although Zi Yan has a talent for space, Zi Yan can only react instinctively at the moment and doesn't systematically travel within the space at all.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan and his companions encountered Spatial Storm on their way to the Middle Continent. At that time, Zi Yan had no way to rescue Xiao Yan from the spatial barrier. She could only protect herself; as for rescuing others, Zi Yan wanted to but couldn't. Xiao Yan was also rescued in a half-dead state. Therefore, this kind of unknown Space Passage was truly long, so Lin Ming turned around and left without lingering for even a moment.
Upon entering the formation, the patterns around it instantly lit up, followed by a sudden darkness.
The darkness before his eyes vanished in the blink of an eye, like stepping through a door. This was only possible for Lin Ming; anyone else would likely have been overwhelmed by light again before they could even react.
"Distinguished guests, we have arrived. This is our place Flame Dealing." After a moment of darkness, as light returned, Wan'er's voice rang out.
At this moment, Lin Ming ignored Wan'er's words and instead turned his gaze towards the interior of the massive building.
The massive building was the same color as its exterior, a starry gray, but what was inside instantly intrigued Lin Ming.
Inside this enormous building, clusters of various flames flickered incessantly. Lin Ming had never seen so many flames before.
At the last Alchemist Grand Meet of the Jia Ma Empire, although many flames were used by different Alchemist, those flames paled in comparison to those here.
The flames here, in terms of both quantity and quality, are far superior to those of the Jia Ma Empire. At the same time, Lin Ming also understood why the flames outside were of such a low rank—because all the high-ranking flames had come here.
