Market Transactions

Xiao Yan and the other two also attracted quite a few sideways glances upon arriving at the Small Market. After all, they were three powerful individuals capable of Dou Qi Transformation into Wings, and more importantly, Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan were the younger generation representatives of the Heavenly Snake Mansion and Splendid Flower Tower, naturally holding considerable popularity.

There was even a fairly large portion of people who, after recognizing the identities of the two, came right up to express their desire to attach themselves to them. After all, this place was perhaps the only opportunity for many people to establish a connection with these two. Seeing this situation, Xiao Yan chose to immediately distance himself. After all, following two such popular figures made casually buying anything inconvenient. Although their identities would bring a lot of convenience, Xiao Yan still preferred to stroll alone.

He even specially found a pair of gloves to wear. After all, with nearly six thousand points on his hand, once exposed, he would also be exposed, and the hard-earned peace would be gone.

It has to be said that although the Small Market was called the Small Market, the people setting up stalls to sell things were really not few. Not only were there normally sold good things like medicinal pills, Dou Techniques, and herbs, there were even many who firmly claimed that the fragments or jade slips they dug up were the key to some Dou Zun inheritance. After all, with the Ten Thousand Beasts Space, anything appearing was not strange. Of course, under the detection of Xiao Yan's extraordinary soul perception ability, nine out of ten were fake, and the remaining one did not even need investigation—he knew directly with his naked eyes that it was a counterfeit.

After walking for a short while, Xiao Yan discovered that the prices here still had a fairly significant difference from the outside world. The most important difference: medicinal pills were exceptionally expensive, and herbs were exceptionally cheap. Because within the Ten Thousand Beasts Space, being a closed space, wanting to strive for greater fortuitous encounters required at least ensuring the strength of one's own might. Medicinal pills were the most direct and best way to enhance oneself, as for the cheapness of herbs, it was because herbs were too common in the Ten Thousand Beasts Space.

The Void Heavenly Emperor of back then had made many plans for the younger generation of the Northwest Region. For example, this Ten Thousand Beasts Space itself was a super treasure land, and the growth rate of all herbs here would accelerate a lot, while the acquisition difficulty was also correspondingly much lower. The same herb would face a Tier 6 Magical Beast in the outside world, but in the Ten Thousand Beasts Space, it perhaps only needed to face a peak Tier 5, so herbs were considered the most worthless things inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Space.

As he strolled along, Xiao Yan also made moves along the way, securing quite a few precious herbs. Xiao Yan still really liked strolling through such places; after all, it would make him recall the days in Wutan City when Yao Lao took him treasure hunting. However, most of the time Xiao Yan only looked. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Participants were many, Dou Emperors were almost as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; a place like this had attraction for him, but it was no longer that big.

Just as Xiao Yan finished strolling through an area and was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart again: "Right."

Xiao Yan was startled. This voice was precisely the one that appeared when facing the Green-Eyes Nightmare Toad. Xiao Yan suspiciously swept his gaze across the surroundings, but there were no suspicious figures.

Of course, he also knew that that voice had definitely appeared inside his body out of nowhere. Several scans of his own body also revealed nothing suspicious.

After repeated confirmation, Xiao Yan still had not the slightest clue. Although judging from the last incident, this voice had no malicious intent toward him, this kind of complete bewilderment without a clue was not what Xiao Yan liked.

Yet he still looked toward his right. It was also a small stall, and the stall owner should have been a seven or eight-star Dou Wang; his cultivation level was considered quite good.

There were quite a few things on the stall, scattered in a large pile. Among them, there was even a cub of the magical beast Flame-Claw Silver Wolf. A few people gathered here, clearly very interested in that magical beast cub.

After all, capturing the cubs of powerful magical beasts alone was extremely difficult, because many magical beasts would rather kill their own cubs before dying than let humans capture them, while slightly weaker magical beasts had no cultivation value.

This Flame-Claw Silver Wolf was a Tier 6 magical beast upon maturity, which could indeed be considered a good cultivation target. Xiao Yan suspiciously swept his gaze over the things on the stall. Although the Flame-Claw Silver Wolf was good, it should not be worth that voice specially reminding him. He had to know that just now as he walked all the way over, he had also seen this magical beast, but one that needed cultivation and whose upper limit was only Tier 6 truly had not aroused his interest.

Did I miss something? Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Thus, he once again earnestly scrutinized them piece by piece. When sweeping over a yellowish lump of dirt, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and discovered something was wrong.

Although it was only a very slight moment, Xiao Yan felt that his soul power had actually encountered a rebound, which showed that this thing was definitely not simple.

"How much for this Flame-Claw Silver Wolf?" Xiao Yan asked aloud.

The stall owner had already noticed Xiao Yan, this person he could not see through, earlier. Xiao Yan waiting in front of his stall for so long definitely meant he had taken a fancy to the things he was selling, and the stall owner was just waiting to fiercely fleece Xiao Yan, this fat sheep.

"Five tier 6 medicinal pills, and this cub is yours!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yan also knitted his brows tightly. "Five tier 6 medicinal pills—I could even trade those for the lifetime allegiance of a Dou Emperor expert, so what would I want your cub for?"

Although Su Zhang gave him many medicinal pills, it did not mean he could be casually fleeced.

"Hehe, prices and all can be discussed, right? How about four?" Although Xiao Yan directly rejected his asking price, the stall owner was even more excited. After all, Xiao Yan's meaning was just that he was unwilling, not that he didn't have them. Judging from Xiao Yan's tone, ten to one he truly had Tier 6 medicinal pills.

"One," Xiao Yan said indifferently.

"Three!" the stall owner insisted.

"Two! All these things of yours will belong to me together!" Xiao Yan said.

At this moment, the stall owner revealed a knowing expression. He considered himself to have understood Xiao Yan's target, but after sweeping a circle over his own things, all these items of his added up to at most the value of one Tier 6 medicinal pill. What on earth attracted this fellow?

When he saw that lump of dirt, he smiled as if he had understood something, grinning, "Two, but it must include one Imperial Extreme Pill. Brother, this lump of dirt was discovered by me in a secret realm. Although I've never comprehended its secret, it is definitely not simple!"

Xiao Yan also shook his head, took out two jade bottles from his Storage Ring, and tossed them to the stall owner. No longer concealing his purpose, he directly left with the magical beast cub and the yellow lump of dirt. As he left, Xiao Yan revealed a hint of a smile. After getting his hands on it, he was even more certain that this thing was not simple.

The stall owner looked at Xiao Yan's back and also smiled craftily. Imitating others to pick up treasures—keep dreaming! Just wait to return with empty bamboo baskets!

Then he packed up his things and prepared to leave. After all, it was an unwritten rule that fighting was not allowed in the Small Market, but if Xiao Yan discovered something was wrong later and came to find him, it would be a bit troublesome. He dared to confirm that Xiao Yan's cultivation level was definitely above his own.

Just as Xiao Yan walked two steps out, a figure entirely shrouded in a black robe bumped into him.

"Brother, want to take a look at this?"

The black-robed person pulled out an object from his bosom, and Xiao Yan's gaze was instantly attracted to it.
