After the turmoil of the city's massacre had temporarily subsided, Xiao Han thought he could finally have some free time. Just as he was planning to take a good rest, a piece of news caught his attention.

"Space Trading Fair?" Xiao Han stroked his chin, looking slightly puzzled.

"Surely I don't need to get involved in this personally?"

As the highest-level trading venue in Central Plains, the Space Trading Fair was something Xiao Han was very familiar with, but he hadn't participated in it many times.

The Langya Pavilion has a shallow foundation. It was only when Xiao Han first founded the Langya Pavilion and was respectfully called "Ice Saint" that he was invited to visit.

However, he only participated once before getting trapped in a secret realm. Langya Pavilion's power was greatly reduced due to Xiao Han's disappearance, and it then began to actively consolidate its power.

Therefore, since then, Langya Pavilion has not received any more Invitation Letter to the Space Trading Fair until Xiao Han returned to the Langya Pavilion and demonstrated his strength as Dou Sheng. Only then did he receive an invitation again, and there were quite a few of them.

However, Xiao Han and his two companions had already lost interest in the Space Trading Fair, so they simply released the invitations directly, treating them as a reward for contributions to the Langya Pavilion Space Trading Fair. Any Langya Pavilion expert with the authority and contribution level above Dou Zun would receive the invitations on a first-come, first-served basis.

Xiao Han had never set foot in the Space Trading Fair venue in the past few decades. Looking at Yi Huang, whose eyes were gleaming with a sharp light, he seemed to have guessed something.

Curious, he asked, "What good stuff is at this Space Trading Fair?"

The Space Trading Fair is just one of the most prestigious auctions on the continent. In any auction, some extremely valuable items will naturally be announced in advance to attract more people and reap greater profits.

Seeing Yi Huang's performance, it's highly likely that she has gained a lot, or that she needs considerable combat power, which is why she sought out this powerful figure who is currently unemployed.

A joyful smile spread across Yi Huang's lips, "Exotic Fire!"

"Exotic Fire!" Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen someone dare to auction off Exotic Fire.

It's important to understand that the rarity and power of Exotic Fire, such rare and Mysterious Object of nature, are self-evident; this alone is enough to attract a large number of Alchemist to the auction.

Although Xiao Han couldn't use the Exotic Fire, he certainly couldn't miss out on anything that could enhance the strength and foundation of the Langya Pavilion.

But then he thought again that even if ordinary Exotic Fire was precious, sending Elder of the Langya Pavilion plus a team of Langya Guard would be enough to handle the situation.

It will all come down to money then. If there's not enough money, we'll just rob it. If all else fails, we can just send a Guest Elder at the Half-Saint level to escort us. We don't need him to take action!

Isn't it beneath him, a mere Dou Sheng, to compete with a group of Dou Zun for something?

Yi Huang gave a wry smile. "If things were really that simple, things would be much easier."

She also wanted to solve the problem simply. In terms of financial resources, Langya Pavilion was probably only slightly inferior to Pill Tower, after all, their profession was more profitable than mining.

However, with some effort, Langya Pavilion can still catch up slightly.

But reality doesn't allow it!

Seeing Yi Huang's bitterness, Xiao Han revealed an expression of great interest:

"What kind of Exotic Fire is that? It's making things so difficult for our Pavilion Master Yi Huang?"

"Tenth on the Strange Fire Ranking: Nine Netherworld Wind Flame!"

"How is this possible!" Xiao Han exclaimed in shock, "Isn't that the Yao Clan's inherited Exotic Fire?"

My God! Xiao Han admired the man who dared to auction off the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame and the three presiding sects of the Space Trading Fair. They really weren't afraid of being killed by the Ancient Races!

"What are you thinking about!" Yi Huang rolled her eyes at Xiao Han. How did this guy suddenly become so stupid!

"Don't you think that if it really were the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame inherited from the Yao Clan, would the Space Trading Fair dare to put it up for auction?"

No matter how high the level of the Space Trading Fair, it will still be doomed if it encounters an unreasonable Ancient Races. How could those shrewd people possibly have the guts to do that?

Xiao Han realized he had made a foolish move, and a grin spread across his face. "There's actually a second Nine Netherworld Wind Flame! This is truly eye-opening!"

Aside from the Life Spirit Flame, the ranking of Exotic Fire largely reflects their power, and there are three levels of Exotic Fire.

The top three, top five, top ten, and other Exotic Fire.

Although the top ten Exotic Fire in the Original work are almost all controlled by the younger generation, that does not mean that these Exotic Fire are worthless.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the top ten Exotic Fire are rare enough that they are given to the key trainees of those Ancient Races.

In fact, the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame, ranked tenth among the Exotic Fire, is already worth a trip for a Holy Grade expert.

What Xiao Han didn't know was that the three organizers of the Space Trading Fair had taken into account the threat posed by the Yao Clan, which was why they had spread the news of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame appearing at the auction to Central Plains so early on.

Otherwise, they worried that one day a bolt of lightning would strike and a wildfire would rage, wiping out the sect altogether.

However, Xiao Han quickly frowned, "How many forces has the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame attracted this time?"

The top ten Exotic Fire are not something that can be easily subdued; they largely require the protection of strength.

Except for Xiao Yan, who has the protagonist's halo and a girlfriend from a Gu Clan protecting him!

Apart from the Purification Lotus Demon Fire, which is free-range and sealed in the Demon Fire Space, the Life Spirit Flame in the hands of Old Man Shen Nong, Five-Star Dou Sheng, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which are sealed in the Pill Tower, the other top ten Exotic Fire are all under the control of Ancient Races.

Even those top ten Exotic Fire that do not belong to Ancient Races are controlled by a powerful force or strong individual.

Now, another top-ten ranked Exotic Fire has appeared. How could it be that many powerful figures are not interested?

Yi Huang was clearly prepared, and quickly rattled off a long list of factions. "The factions in Central Plains include the Pill Tower, the Burning Flame Valley, and the Flower Sect..."

Of the Ancient Eight Tribes, all except the Spirit and Stone clans sent personnel.

After listening to Yi Huang's account, Xiao Han's brows furrowed into a deep frown. He had underestimated the allure of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame!

However, it also shows that these forces in Central Plains are still aware of their own strength. Those sects that dare to meddle in the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame have more than one Half-Saint in charge.

Yi Huang continued, "The most threatening forces among them are the Pill Tower, the Yao Clan, the Soul Clan, and the Gu Clan."

Xiao Han understood; the others weren't strong enough. Only the forces mentioned above, who were wealthy and capable, dared to set foot on this battlefield.

Needless to say, the Pill Tower is a prime example Alchemist are wealthy and want Exotic Fire. They can't control their own Three Thousand Burning Flame and risk causing trouble. Now that they've finally found one with a decent ranking, they naturally want to take it for themselves.

The same applies to the Ancient Soul Clans; who wouldn't want Exotic Fire? Both clans are wealthy and powerful, they don't lack money. As for strength...

Which expert dares to challenge their skills?

As for the other Ancient Races, they were either incompatible with the Exotic Fire or there were enough of them to warrant more effort; most of them just watched with a spectator's attitude.

At this moment, Yi Huang said with a smile, "The Yao Clan has also spread rumors..."

"Oh?" Xiao Han asked, amused. "What did those old men say?"

Xiao Han had no respect for the group of pedantic old monsters from the Yao Clan, and his words were naturally lacking in respect.

Yi Huang mimicked perfectly, saying, "The Nine Netherworld Wind Flame is the inherited Exotic Fire of my Yao Clan; no unauthorized person may touch it."

"Tch!" Xiao Han scoffed. "They really think they're something special!"

No competing force would fear a near-declining Yao Clan; such a threat is utterly ineffective.

"They just want to be a couple!" Yi Huang laughed.

After the jokes were over, Xiao Han's expression immediately turned serious. "I'll personally attend this Space Trading Fair!"

Xiao Han guessed that he wasn't the only one who thought this way. The Nine Netherworld Wind Flame Competition at this Space Trading Fair was definitely a battle of gods. No one below the Saint Realm was qualified to participate. Without some strength to rely on, even if you had a powerful background, you would still be doomed.

"Hmm!" Yi Huang handed a blood-red jade slip to Xiao Han, completely unconcerned about any accidents that might happen to him.

Her bigger concern now is, who should use the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame after it's brought back?
