Exchange Fair, Guyuan Fang Clan
"Being able to host this Exchange Fair is actually something that everyone expected your Chen Clan to do."
Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi said, "Haoran Peak probably doesn't have enough manpower. I'll arrange some people to help out."
Immediately after leaving the cave of the True Lord Haoran, Chen Nianzhi began to prepare for this Exchange Fair.
He first returned to his Lineage, summoned over a hundred Golden Core realm cultivators, and also gathered Xian Yan, Xian Ye, and others at the Heaven's Spine Mountains to begin arranging the Exchange Fair and sending invitations to various Nascent Soul Immortal Clans.
They prepared once again the unique specialties of the Ji Continent and the Vast Sea, planning to open Marketplace during the Exchange Fair to create sales channels for the many treasures from both places.
"..."
Time flies, and before we knew it, the day of the Exchange Fair had arrived.
Six months before the start of the Exchange Fair, Nascent Soul True Lord began arriving at the Heaven's Spine Mountains, and even a large number of Golden Core realm cultivators came to see if they could take this opportunity to buy items such as Nascent Soul Formation Pill.
As the time approached the time for the Exchange Fair, some highly respected and powerful figures finally arrived, including seven powerful figures at the Nascent Soul Late Stage or above, such as Sea-Calming Daoist, Desolate Heaven Daoist, and Nine Rivers Daoist.
After the Abyssal Demon Calamity, Chen Nianzhi was no longer a novice Nascent Soul.
Looking across the Three Vein Ancient Region now, many of them are fellow Daoists who fought side by side a hundred years ago, and how many of them don't recognize Chen Nianzhi?
Even among the other ancient Human Race Ancient Domain in the Eastern Wilderness, most Nascent Soul True Lord have heard of Chen Nianzhi.
Now, Nascent Soul True Lord who have come to participate in the Exchange Fair, whether they have met Chen Nianzhi before or not, have to give her a respectful look.
That day, Chen Nianzhi was receiving Nine Rivers Daoist when he noticed an incomparably magnificent and ornate carriage approaching.
The chariot was pulled by three Fire Luan, each of whom possessed Nascent Soul level as high as the Nascent Soul realm.
"Who is this person? A demon emperor is actually pulling a carriage?"
"What a grand display! Could he be a Nascent Primordial Spirit Dao Lord?"
Many Nascent Soul True Lord were stunned, revealing a hint of surprise.
Chen Nianzhi also looked somewhat solemn. He had never seen the person who came before, and he didn't even recognize him.
Nine Rivers Daoist, however, was knowledgeable and experienced. His expression shifted slightly as he said, "This person is True Lord from the Guyuan Mountains. You must not have seen him before."
"It's him!"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she roughly understood the man's background.
When talking about the Guyuan Mountains, one cannot help but mention the Three Vein Ancient Region.
As the name suggests, the Three Vein Ancient Region are named after three mountain ranges: the Heaven's Spine Mountains Three Vein Ancient Region, the Azure Luan Mountains, and the Guyuan Mountains.
These three mountain ranges are all Quasi-Tier 6 supreme Earth Vein, and are also among the thirty-six famous mountains and rivers of the Eastern Wilderness.
The dragon soul of the Heaven's Spine Mountains was devoured by the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor and later occupied by the True Lord Haoran, which goes without saying.
The Azure Luan Mountains was once the place where an Azure Luan Demon Ancestor attained enlightenment. Now it has fallen into the hands of the Flying Feather Pavilion and is one of the peak holy lands of the Three Vein Ancient Region.
The Guyuan Mountains are no less impressive than either of them, and they are home to an incomparably magnificent Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Clan.
This lineage is called the Guyuan Fang Clan. The Guyuan Fang Clan has a total of twenty-six Nascent Soul True Lord, and its Clan Master, Fang Xuanyin, is one of only five Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm in the Three Vein Ancient Region.
It can be said that the strength of the Guyuan Fang Clan has been among the top three in the Three Vein Ancient Region for many years, second only to the Profound Heaven Sect, which has more than forty Nascent Soul True Lord, and is not inferior to the Flying Feather Pavilion.
In this great battle of the Abyssal Demon Calamity, among the five Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, Sea-Calming Daoist, Flying Feather Pavilion, Profound Void Daoist all devoted their full efforts to this battle.
The sect leader of the Profound Heaven Sect passed away before the catastrophe, but he could be said to have participated in this great battle with all his might.
The Guyuan Fang Clan alone did not contribute a single soldier, but instead offered a large number of precious treasures in exchange.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Fang Xuanyin, the Clan Master of the Guyuan Fang Clan, Chen Nianzhi frowned, then said with a slightly cold gaze:
"I heard that the Fang Clan paid 5 billion Spirit Stone in taxes to avoid being conscripted a hundred years ago, and still had money to buy treasures?"
Nine Rivers Daoist shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The Guyuan Mountains are a rare treasure land in the world, with three large Spirit Stone mines. The tax revenue of over 5 billion Spirit Stone is only what they produce in three or four hundred years."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's heart trembled slightly. The Chen Clan's current strength was enough to rank among the top ten in the Eastern Wilderness, yet they didn't even have a large Spirit Stone mine.
Within the entire Three Vein Ancient Region, there are only six large Spirit Stone veins. The Flying Feather Pavilion occupies one of them, the Profound Heaven Sect occupies another, and the remaining one is divided among several powerful immortal clans.
The Fang Clan clan actually possesses three large Spirit Stone veins; they are incredibly wealthy. No wonder they could have a three-headed Nascent Soul demon emperor pulling their cart.
Upon realizing this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but say, "These three large mineral veins, how come the immortal clans of the Eastern Wilderness can't even secure a share?"
"A thousand years ago, the Flying Feather Pavilion and several other major powers joined forces to exert pressure, but unfortunately, they ultimately failed."
Nine Rivers Daoist shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The Guyuan Fang Clan is a branch of the Fang Clan family of the Primordial Spirit Clan in the Central Continent. Their Clan Master, Fang Xuanyin, has lived for thousands of years and still has some connection with the main branch of the Fang Clan."
"Therefore, they possess some resources from the Primordial Spirit Clan, and even if Sea-Calming Daoist were to personally take action, he might not be able to defeat them."
Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi frowned and said, "Having such formidable strength but not fighting for the Human Race, instead hiding in the background to store up power, is truly despicable."
As the two were talking, the three-headed Fire Luan flew over, pulling the chariot.
The carriage flew closer, and a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing a white-haired young man with a handsome face who glanced at Chen Nianzhi.
He didn't get out of the car, but simply smiled calmly and said, "You must be the renowned Daoist Return-to-Void. I didn't expect you to personally greet me; you are truly courteous."
As the boy spoke, the Fire Luan continued flying towards Haoran City without pausing.
"Uncle, this person is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet he dares to be so disrespectful to us. We must teach him a lesson."
Seeing this, Chen Xianye, with a cold look in his eyes, wanted to stop the man, but was stopped by Chen Nianzhi.
Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said calmly, "After all, they are guests. As the hosts, we shouldn't get angry. Let's talk about it another day."
Despite saying that, there was still a hint of coldness in Chen Nianzhi's eyes.
The gap between Nascent Soul is enormous. An ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would have to bow down and be subservient to Nascent Soul Late Stage. For a powerful figure to even speak to you is considered a sign of high regard.
Even now, Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm ancestor has to address him as a brother, while a mere Nascent Soul Early Stage doesn't even dismount from his carriage when he sees him, daring to talk to him from a superior position. He is truly arrogant beyond measure.
Seeing this, Daoist Jiuhe quickly advised, "This man is named Fang Tianji, and is the son of Fang Xuanyin, the patriarch of the Fang clan."
"He considers himself a descendant of the Primordial Spirit Clan, and his temperament is somewhat arrogant; Brother Guixu need not take it to heart."
"Brother Nine Rivers, you are overthinking it."
Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said with a faint smile, "If it were his father, Fang Xuanyin, I might take it a little more seriously. But he's just a newly Nascent Soul junior; it's not worth getting angry over."
Chen Xianye immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Uncle Nianzhi, you can tolerate this, but I can't."
"I've only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul. I'll come and challenge him after the Exchange Fair ends."
