The Improved Yin-Yang Origin-Restoring Liquid!
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The central square of Chaotic Star City was packed with people, and banners were waving everywhere.
The triennial citywide trade fair officially kicked off today.
On the towering grandstand on the north side of the square, special envoys from the Three Great Kingdoms of Aolong, Barbarian Sage, and Jiujian, as well as elders from the major sects in the vicinity, gathered together.
Below the stage, countless caravan managers and independent cultivators had gathered early in the morning, crowding the square to the point of being impassable.
Everyone was whispering among themselves, waiting to witness the life-or-death battle between the Golden Cauldron Pavilion and Exchange Tower.
Thump!
With a resounding gong, the group from the Golden Cauldron Pavilion strode confidently onto the stage.
The envoy whose face had been swollen from the beating had recovered after being treated with a miraculous medicine, but his gaze toward the audience was as sinister as a venomous snake.
With a wave of his hand, a dozen maids immediately stepped forward carrying jade platters covered with red silk.
As the jade plate was unveiled, rays of light shone forth, and the rich aroma of medicine and the sharp edge of the Soul Artifact instantly swept across the entire area.
"Please take a look, everyone!"
The special envoy pointed to the jade plate and proudly introduced it in a loud voice.
"These three are top-tier, eighth-order Soul Artifact used by the royal family of the Nine Swords Kingdom. They can cut a hair in two and slice through iron like mud!"
"And these five bottles are the sixth-grade Dragon Blood Barrier-Breaking Pill, exclusively monopolized by my Golden Cauldron Pavilion, enough to help even Soul Sage expert break through their bottleneck!"
The sect elders on the stands and the wealthy merchants below widened their eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
"As expected of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, they immediately offered a top-tier Soul Artifact used by the royal family and a sixth-grade monopolized divine pill!"
"Such a profound foundation cannot be found anywhere else along the entire border of the Three Kingdoms!"
Hearing the flattery around him, the Golden Cauldron Pavilion envoy's lips curled into a sinister sneer.
He turned around, looking down at Exchange Tower in the audience, and shouted a provocative taunt.
"Where are the people from Exchange Tower? Get up here and face your deaths!"
"Look closely, this is the true foundation of a great nation and a powerful family!"
"With your run-down little shop in this desolate place, even if you pawned your pants, you probably wouldn't have anything presentable to offer!"
There was much discussion among the audience, with many independent cultivators shaking their heads and sighing.
"Golden Cauldron Pavilion has gone all out this time; Exchange Tower is in danger."
"How can an eighth-tier Soul Artifact be compared to a sixth-grade monopolistic divine pill?"
The special envoy from the Golden Cauldron Pavilion stood with his hands behind his back and his nostrils pointing to the sky.
"What, are the people from Exchange Tower hiding their heads like cowards?"
"If you don't dare come up, you might as well kneel down and kowtow to admit defeat!"
At his seat in Exchange Tower, Lu Ping straightened his clothes and slowly rose to his feet.
He remained calm as he stepped onto the high platform.
Behind him, two former subordinates carried a wooden box covered with black brocade.
The envoy scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.
"What kind of garbage is in that tattered wooden crate you brought up?"
Lu Ping ignored him and raised his hand to lift the black brocade.
Buzz!
Two distinctly different, dazzling beams of light shot into the sky.
On the tray to the left are three bottles of spiritual liquid, a mixture of black and white energy.
On the shelf to the right stands a suit of dark armor inscribed with intricate ninja formations.
Lu Ping uncorked the jade bottle.
Boom!
An indescribable, powerful medicinal fragrance instantly swept through the entire venue.
Several mercenaries in the audience, who were suffering from internal injuries, only took a sniff, and their Soul Power, which had been stagnant for many years, immediately loosened up on the spot!
"This... my internal injuries to my meridians have actually healed by more than half!"
"Just one whiff can heal wounds, what kind of miraculous elixir is this?!"
Lu Ping's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire square.
"This is the latest improved Yin-Yang Origin-Restoring Liquid from Exchange Tower!"
"Even if someone is on their last breath, taking this will instantly restore flesh and bone, and rejuvenate their original state. Its efficacy is more than ten times that of an ordinary sixth-grade Pill!"
"The black armor beside me is engraved with special defensive array patterns, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a high-level Soul Douluo without sustaining any damage!"
Before the words were even finished, the high platform on the north side erupted into chaos.
Several white-haired and bearded elders of the sect suddenly stood up, their teacups shattering on the spot.
"Ten times the efficacy! It can even repair deep-seated injuries!"
An old sect leader, who had been stuck at the peak of Soul Douluo for many years, breathed heavily, his eyes instantly turning red.
He disregarded all pretense of being a master and leaped off the stands, heading straight for the high platform.
"Manager Lu! I'll take all three bottles of Yin-Yang Origin-Restoring Liquid. I'll offer 100,000 gold soul coins!"
"Get out of my way! My Heavenly Sword Sect is offering 150,000 spirit stones, plus two spirit stone mines!"
"That armor belongs to my Barbarian Martial Sect! Anyone who dares to take it, I'll fight them to the death!"
The usually aloof sect leaders lost their composure on the spot, crowding together in front of the stage, their neck veins bulging, scrambling and blushing.
On the other hand, the Dragon Blood Barrier-Breaking Pill, which the Golden Cauldron Pavilion was so proud of just moments ago, is now being looked at by not even a single person.
The smug look on the Golden Cauldron Pavilion envoy's face froze completely, his complexion turning from white to green, and then from green to purple.
Their limelight was completely stolen; this was tantamount to humiliating Golden Cauldron Pavilion!
Enraged, the envoy took a step forward and pointed at Lu Ping, launching into a tirade of insults.
"You audacious sorcerer, how dare you spread your heretical rumors and mislead the public!"
"Such miraculous effects are clearly the result of your Exchange Tower using unorthodox and evil magic to steal the royal secret formula of my Nine Swords Kingdom!"
"Guards, seize these thieves who stole national secrets on the spot!"
As he spoke, the envoy glanced menacingly at the old man in black robes behind him and secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.
The old man in black robes was none other than the Transcendent of the Nine Swords Kingdom who was accompanying the group on this occasion!
The old man in black robes slowly opened his eyes, his withered face filled with indifference.
"This humble border shop dares to steal the nation's most precious treasures; they deserve to be executed."
Boom!
The old man took a step forward, and his entire body rose more than ten feet into the air.
Nine dazzling Soul Ring exploded from beneath his feet, and countless bolts of lightning gathered out of thin air, transforming into rolling purple lightning Lightning Cloud that pressed down on the plaza.
A terrifying, Transcendent pressure poured down like the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
The thousands of independent cultivators below the stage felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, their faces turned pale, and they collapsed to the ground in droves.
Even the sect elders on the high platform were horrified and retreated hastily.
"It's the Transcendent revered elder of the Nine Swords Kingdom, the Lightning Fiend Ancestor!"
"Golden Cauldron Pavilion can't afford to lose, so they actually had Transcendent expert use a deadly attack!"
"It's over. Below the Transcendent, everyone is just an ant. Exchange Tower will be completely annihilated today!"
The special envoy stood at the edge of the platform, watching the sky filled with lightning, a ferocious and ecstatic expression on his face.
Under the thunderous power of the Transcendent offering, everyone in Exchange Tower will be reduced to ashes!
The Lightning Fiend Ancestor looked down from his high position, his withered palm gathering immense thunder, and slammed down towards Exchange Tower's seat.
"Kneel down and prepare to die!"
The raging thunder and wind made the robes of everyone in Exchange Tower flutter wildly.
In the center of the room, Ren sat upright in the armchair, motionless, not even putting down his crossed legs.
The next second.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Ten terrifyingly powerful Soul Ring rose one by one from beneath Ren's feet.
Purple, black, and red—three blood-red Soul Ring, each representing a hundred thousand years of life, shone like a blood-red sun in the sky.
The moment the tenth Soul Ring, interwoven with black and white at the very top, lit up, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth in the entire Chaotic Star City went berserk!
Ren slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.
His left eye was pitch black, while his right eye was pure white, with layers of swirling ripples and Mangekyo patterns spinning wildly deep within his Double Pupils.
Yin-Yang Six Paths Samsara Double Pupils!
Boom--!
The winds and clouds suddenly reversed, and the Lightning Cloud, as if encountering a king, instantly dissipated without a trace.
"What... what kind of Soul Ring is this?!"
"Ten Soul Ring! Three blood-red, and one black and white?!"
The eyes of the tens of thousands of cultivators present nearly popped out of their sockets, their scalps tingled, and their thoughts completely froze.
Before everyone could recover from the shock of the ten rings, Ren lightly stepped on the ground.
Buzz!
A vast, boundless Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram suddenly unfolded beneath his feet, instantly enveloping the entire central square.
The yin and yang fish flowed back and forth, and at this moment, time and space of the entire world seemed to be completely frozen.
