Trade

Shangguan Ye and Nie Li continuously hunted demon souls. Two days later, Shangguan Ye had slain hundreds of thousands of demon souls. After everyone gathered, they went to exchange them for items together. However, Shangguan Ye had nothing he wanted to exchange for, so he simply stuffed everything into Lu Piao's hands.

After exchanging their items, the group left the Training Ground together.

"Oh, oh, they're out! This Shangguan Ye is seriously insane. He one-shot Murong Yu. As expected of someone in the Heavenly Star Realm!"

"Hmph, Murong Yu was arrogant and overbearing. He deserved it!"

"Senior Brother Shangguan Ye is so handsome!"

As soon as Shangguan Ye and the others came out, they saw the sea of people outside. They squeezed through the crowd for a long time before finally getting out.

"Looks like being too famous isn't necessarily a good thing."

"Oh, right, Shangguan, I'm planning to use the Nightmare Demon Pot to refine demon spirits. Lend me some spirit stones?" Nie Li said as he moved closer to Shangguan Ye.

"Lend? Are you insulting me?" Shangguan Ye pretended to be angry.

"Fine, fine. Then give me some spirit stones, alright?" Nie Li said helplessly.

"That's more like it."

"Come in and take them yourself." The group entered the Mountain River Space. The Divine Pools that had formed earlier were already piled high with spirit stones.

"The flow of time here seems different from the outside world... Otherwise, how could it produce so many spirit stones so quickly?" Shangguan Ye thought.

While Shangguan Ye was pondering this, Nie Li and the others had already begun loading up spirit stones.

With a wave of Shangguan Ye's hand, several thousand more spirit stones flew out and transformed into Divine Pools.

"At this rate, I'm practically richer than an entire sect."

Nie Li and the others were happily gathering spirit stones when a firebird that blotted out the sky flew over their heads.

"That aura! It's at least at the Martial Ancestor Realm!" Nie Li cried in alarm.

"Shangguan?" Nie Li turned his head.

"She's Feng Yu, a Vermilion Bird," Shangguan Ye said calmly.

"I see." Nie Li pondered for a while but did not dwell on it. There were too many mysteries surrounding Shangguan Ye. As long as he knew Shangguan Ye was on the same side as him, that was enough.

But when Nie Li turned around, he saw someone else who stunned him.

"Master..."

Ying Ru Yue was sitting cross-legged beneath the Divine Tree, cultivating. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Nie Li standing before her.

"Miss, you..." Nie Li was about to greet her when Ying Ru Yue interrupted him.

"Rebellious disciple, how can you be so disrespectful?" Although Ying Ru Yue sounded somewhat angry, her eyes were filled with indulgence.

Nie Li's face was full of confusion.

"No need to think about it. I figured it out long ago using the Heavenly Evolution Technique. This time, Master will accompany you to the very end," Ying Ru Yue said with a smile.

"But won't cultivating the Heavenly Evolution Technique cause the Holy Emperor to discover you?" Nie Li asked.

"Thanks to Shangguan Ye, this Mountain River Space can conceal my aura. The Holy Emperor won't notice."

Ying Ru Yue's words put Nie Li somewhat at ease.

"In that case, Master, please cultivate well here. Your disciple will come visit whenever I have time." Nie Li straightened himself and bowed respectfully.

"Mm."

"Shangguan, thank you." Nie Li turned and said.

"It's nothing. It's time to buy demon spirits, isn't it?"

"That's right. We need to find Gu Bei for this."

"Let's go." The group left the Mountain River Space. High in the sky, Feng Yu looked down at Ying Ru Yue, a trace of hostility appearing in her eyes.

"Hmph, so it's her? She's so weak. I have no idea what Her Majesty sees in her..."

"But it's far too deserted in here. Hey, Little Gold, little sapling, want me to find you some companions?" Feng Yu transmitted her voice to the two demon spirits.

The little sapling raised its branches high, while the Golden Saint Dragon King slowly nodded.

"That's more like it." Feng Yu quietly left the Mountain River Space. Although Shangguan Ye had already sensed her departure, he did not interfere.

After leaving the Feather God Sect, Feng Yu created many clones and sent them scattering in every direction. Anything alive was swept up by Feng Yu, including quite a few Monster Beasts at the Dragon Path Realm. Those Monster Beasts trembled endlessly, having no idea what terrible crime they had committed. Once they were sent into the Mountain River Space, they were frightened by the Golden Saint Dragon King, but soon settled down. After all, the Heavenly Dao Power here was more than a hundred times denser than in the outside world.

The Monster Beasts began searching everywhere for territories they liked. However, within the Mountain River Space, their wills would gradually be changed as well, and they would become Shangguan Ye's capable forces.

Meanwhile, Nie Li used the Nightmare Demon Pot to create many demon spirits with god-level growth potential, though they all had ordinary bloodlines. After all, his connections were limited.

"Let's go to the Heavenly Spirit Institute market. We can't keep selling without buying anything."

The group arrived at the market. Nie Li found an empty spot and set up his stall, while Lu Piao began drawing customers. Lu Piao took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"God-level growth potential demon spirits for sale! Fifty spirit stones each! Buy three, get one free!"

Under Lu Piao's booming voice, Nie Li's stall was soon packed with people.

"I want this one."

"Alright, thank you for your patronage."

"Why did it suddenly get so hot?" Lu Piao suddenly exclaimed.

A man with reddish-brown hair approached with a group of subordinates.

"Be careful. Judging from his aura, he should cultivate the Dragon Flame Nine Transformations. He's from the Azure Flame Family, and he's even stronger than Murong Yu," Nie Li warned.

"I heard you're selling demon spirits with god-level growth potential?" the man asked with his arms crossed.

"That's right."

"How many do you have left? I'll take them all at your price," the man said generously.

"May I ask your name, young master?" Nie Li asked.

"Li Xingyun of the Azure Flame Family."

"Shangguan Ye, Nie Li, I know the two of you. Especially you, Shangguan Ye. I heard you killed Murong Yu once in the Ghost Ruin Land. I admire you." Li Xingyun patted Shangguan Ye on the shoulder.

"I, Li Xingyun, enjoy making friends with geniuses. I like the two of you very much. If you don't mind, you can join me. I definitely won't treat you poorly," Li Xingyun said sincerely.

"Young Master Li, your demon spirits." Nie Li handed him a bag.

"Here are the spirit stones."

"You can think carefully about what I just said. Even if you're unwilling, we'll still be friends. If you get any good demon spirits in the future, I hope you'll consider me first."

"Of course."

"Then many thanks." Li Xingyun left with his subordinates.

Having sold everything, Shangguan Ye and the others prepared to leave as well. On the way, Nie Li suddenly asked Shangguan Ye.

"Shangguan, does my master have to stay in the Mountain River Space for the rest of her life?"

"Not entirely. But if she wants to come out, she'll tell me beforehand. I'll use Space Law to conceal her aura."

"I see." Nie Li was much more relieved.

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Sure."

The group entered the Mountain River Space, only to discover that it had completely changed. Countless Monster Beasts were scattered everywhere.

"This is..." Nie Li, Lu Piao, and Xiao Yu were all bewildered and turned to look at Shangguan Ye.

"Feng Yu did it. It seems she thought this place was too deserted," Shangguan Ye said helplessly.

"Feng Yu!" Shangguan Ye shouted. A flash of fire streaked by, and Feng Yu appeared before him and the others.

"Master!" Feng Yu smiled, her eyes curving into crescents as though she were waiting for Shangguan Ye's praise.

"Uh..." Seeing Feng Yu like this, Shangguan Ye could not bear to say anything.

"You did well, but it still needs a few more things." Shangguan Ye glanced at the Divine Tree. That thing was currently swallowing a Monster Beast that had provoked it whole.

Shangguan Ye raised his hand, and with a thought, the Mountain River Space began to change. A boundless sea appeared before everyone, with a huge island in the middle of it.

"You two can stay over here from now on." As soon as Shangguan Ye finished speaking, the Golden Saint Dragon King descended from the clouds into the sea. Shangguan Ye also moved the Divine Tree onto the island, then relocated several hundred Divine Pools above it.

"These are all yours. So stop eating those guys."

After settling matters here, Shangguan Ye turned around and found Yu Yan staring solemnly at Feng Yu. No one knew when she had appeared.

"Who did you just say lacked skill?" Yu Yan's face was filled with anger.

"You little girl, I was talking about you. Was I wrong?" Feng Yu said without a care.

"Nie Li, what are those two doing?" Shangguan Ye asked.

"Sister Feng Yu thinks Sister Yu Yan's Fire Law is too weak, so this happened."

"Sigh." Shangguan Ye rubbed his forehead.

"Do you dare compete with me?" Yu Yan demanded angrily. As a fire Spirit God, she would not allow anyone to act so presumptuously in her domain!

"Sure. I'll suppress my cultivation to your level. Just don't cry if you lose, alright~"
