Yan Kingdom Exchange Fair

"Fellow Daoist Nianzhi."

As Chen Nianzhi stepped into the Ethereal Spirit Pavilion, she heard a familiar voice.

He looked up and saw that the man was Wei Xuyuan. The Wei Clan clan patriarch walked over, grabbed Chen Nianzhi, and said happily, "I never expected to meet you in the Yan Kingdom."

"Truly rare."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and then asked, "Brother, you've come here perhaps for...?"

He paused, and Wei Xuyuan nodded, a serious expression on his face. "I have indeed come here for the Jia-Wood Crystal."

"If we fail again this time, I'm afraid I'll have offended someone in the Wei Clan."

Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded calmly.

Wei Xuyuan is nearly 180 years old this year, and his lifespan is running out. Unless he takes a precious longevity-extending treasure, he will only have one last chance to break through to the Purple Mansion.

If this breakthrough fails again, the Wei Immortal Clan will likely exhaust its resources and live a miserable life for the next hundred years.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dao has already broken through to the Purple Mansion once and consumed the Mysterious Origin Pill. If you obtain the Jia-Wood Crystal again, I believe you will definitely succeed in one go."

I hope so.

Hearing his words of comfort, Wei Xuyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had already opened up 30% of the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian and had also taken the Mysterious Origin Pill, so his True Essence essence was far more abundant than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment.

Under these circumstances, if he were to obtain another Jia-Wood Crystal, he estimated that he would have a 50% chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

A 50% chance of success is already quite high, enough to justify a full-scale gamble. This is why the Wei Immortal Clan is willing to exhaust its resources and provide him with all its support once again.

Suppressing his obsession, Wei Xuyuan smiled and said, "This is your first time visiting the Yan Kingdom, isn't it? Let me introduce you to it."

With Wei Xuyuan's introduction, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood which of the many cultivators present were not to be trifled with.

For top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivators like them, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators are no longer a concern. The only ones who can make the two of them feel cautious are a few Foundation Establishment cultivators with astonishing backgrounds and origins.

Among the many Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were almost none who could pose a challenge to Chen Nianzhi, except for one cultivator named Deng Yuanwu, who made him feel pressured.

Deng Yuanwu was a tall man with a very powerful aura, and he was accompanied by two beautiful women whose cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, so he was obviously of Bu Fan origin.

Wei Xuyuan noticed Chen Nianzhi's gaze and quickly whispered a reminder.

"That is Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Deng Immortal Clan, named Deng Yuanwu, a direct descendant of the Deng Clan Lineage."

"This person has an extraordinary background; you mustn't offend him."

With his reminder, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood the man's identity.

Deng Yuanwu was a direct descendant of the Deng Clan, and the beloved grandson of the Deng Clan's Golden Core realm Elixir Ancestor. He practically grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Relying on his grandfather's favor, Deng Yuanwu broke through to the Purple Mansion three times in a row. Although he did not succeed, he still managed to penetrate ninety percent of the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian.

Furthermore, he had consumed a treasure similar to the Mysterious Origin Pill, so the depth of his True Essence was comparable to that of an ordinary Purple Mansion, making his combat power truly formidable.

After Wei Xuyuan finished speaking, he secretly transmitted his voice again, saying, "This person only has Three Element Spiritual Root, but he has never lacked resources, and he also practices the Essence-Draining Technique."

"The two Foundation Establishment female cultivators beside him were probably pillars of their respective immortal clans, but now they have become his cultivation vessels, their cultivation used to benefit others."

"Unfortunately Deng Clan wields immense power in the Yan Kingdom. Even the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan of the Yan Kingdom can only form an alliance to barely resist them. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan cultivators are ultimately just fish and meat to them."

Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's eyes turned slightly cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her heart.

Unlike the dual cultivation method, the method of absorbing and replenishing one's energy originated from Demonic Cultivation Technique.

After a cultivator uses a furnace to replenish their energy, they can often increase their cultivation speed and save some cultivation time. However, the cultivator whose energy is replenished will suffer a great loss in cultivation, and may even drop in cultivation level.

This is a cultivation Cultivation Method used by Devil Cultivator. Devil Cultivator use any means necessary to cultivate, focusing on harming others for their own benefit. This is why Devil Cultivator cultivate much faster than righteous cultivators.

Orthodox cultivators who use others as alchemical furnaces are, in a sense, not much different from Devil Cultivator; they are also a form of Evil Dao.

In the Chu Kingdom, the practice of sexual cultivation was jointly prohibited by the three major sects. Unexpectedly, there were still people in the Yan Kingdom who dared to openly practice this art.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi's gaze turned slightly cold as she said, "Is it really true that no one in the Yan Kingdom cares about openly practicing the Essence-Draining Technique '?"

"The Yan Kingdom only has five Golden Core realm cultivators, and the Deng Clan alone accounts for three of them." Wei Xuyuan sighed and said helplessly, "The Deng Clan is all-powerful, so naturally others dare not speak out against them."

Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi suppressed the murderous intent in her heart.

Although he has a sharp personality and cannot tolerate any flaws, he is sensible and not a reckless person.

Unlike the Yan Kingdom Chu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom faces immense pressure from the Vast Expanse Marshes Demon Race and the Demon Cave in the vast marshland. Therefore, the main task for the State of Chu is to stabilize the hearts of the various immortal races and work together to fight against the Devil Cultivator and Demon Race.

The environment in the Yan Kingdom was much better. In order to occupy the Tier 5 Water Vein of the Yan Kingdom, the Ji Immortal Clan, the former hegemon of the six kingdoms, slaughtered all the high-level Demon Beast in Yan Lake.

Moreover, in order to protect the interests of the Yan Kingdom, Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein has been cultivated above the Tier 5 Water Vein of the Yan Kingdom. With the Ji Clan Nascent Soul True Lord stationed there year-round, ordinary demons dare not approach.

Every hundred years, Beast Turmoil, only the Black Eagle Demon King of the Azuregreen Mountains could put some pressure on the Yan Kingdom, but even he dared not invade the Yan Lake Archipelago.

With less external pressure, the high-level immortal clans in the Yan Kingdom naturally flourished, and the struggles among cultivators intensified. While the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan could band together for mutual support, the Foundation Establishment Qi Refining realm Immortal Clan faced a more difficult situation.

"Look, the Exchange Fair has begun."

It was at this moment that the Exchange Fair finally began in earnest.

As the hosts of this Exchange Fair, the Yan Kingdom Immortal Clan Alliance was the first to step forward.

The woman who went up was graceful and beautiful. She was at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer and her aura was very powerful.

Wei Xuyuan had just introduced the woman's background. Her name was Yuan Weiwei, and she was a cultivator from the Yuan Immortal Clan. This clan was one of the two major powers of the Yan Kingdom Immortal Clan Alliance. With a Golden Core realm Ancestor in charge, their strength was not to be underestimated.

As the representative of the Yuan Immortal Clan, Yuan Weiwei stepped onto the stage and, without much fanfare, had three treasure boxes brought out.

Of the three treasure boxes, the first contained a purple jade, the second a jade crystal, and the last a cyan Precious Pill.

"Violet Sun Jade, the Jia-Wood Crystal, Azure Jade Barrier-Breaking Pill..."

Upon seeing the three treasures, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
