After Xia Ping returned to the Universe Sect, on the very next day, many of the sect's elders—and even the sect master himself—came to visit. Clearly, they had all heard that Xia Ping had obtained many Ten Thousand Longevity Fruits and wanted to make a trade.
After all, quite a few elders of the Universe Sect were already very old and needed Ten Thousand Longevity Fruits to prolong their lives.
Naturally, they did not dare to force him. They merely said they could exchange treasures for them. After all, whether in status, standing, or strength, Xia Ping was no weaker than an ordinary elder now.
Xia Ping did not refuse outright either. He merely said that if they had treasures worthy of his attention, they could trade. After all, he had more than a hundred Ten Thousand Longevity Pills on him.
He did not actually need that many. If there were treasures precious enough, he was naturally willing to trade.
Upon hearing this, they left in satisfaction, saying that if they found suitable treasures, they would certainly come to visit again.
After dealing with this group of elders, Xia Ping also received a message from the North Nether Saint, telling him to make a trip to North Nether Peak.
"Master."
Before long, Xia Ping arrived at a quiet chamber on North Nether Peak. At that moment, the North Nether Saint was seated cross-legged atop a meditation cushion.
At once, he sensed that the North Nether Saint's aura seemed utterly different from before. It had become even more unfathomable and ethereal, as though he had leapt beyond the Five Elements and stood apart from the Three Realms.
"What is it?"
The North Nether Saint looked at Xia Ping.
"Master, why do I feel that you're somewhat different from before?"
