The Blood River Sect's Covetous Eyes!

Chen Feng nodded and then followed Ye Yuting into the shop.

There were many cultivators on the first floor of the shop, and almost every cultivator was accompanied by a scantily clad, alluring woman.

The women were very enthusiastic as they introduced themselves to each of the monks.

As soon as Chen Feng and Ye Yuting entered the shop, a glamorous woman walked up to them.

The woman bowed to Chen Feng and Ye Yuting, saying, "Seniors, please follow me to the fourth floor."

Ye Yuting explained to Chen Feng telepathically:

"This area is divided into different floors according to the cultivator's strength; the fourth floor is specifically for Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Chen Feng glanced at the woman in front of him, then transmitted his voice to Ye Yuting and asked:

"She's only at the Foundation Establishment, how could she know what realm we're at?"

Ye Yuting pointed to the ceiling of the hall and said:

"Look, there's a treasure over there called the Spirit Testing Pearl. Any cultivator who enters this hall can have their cultivation level detected by this pearl."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately looked up at the ceiling, where a bead the size of a fist was indeed floating.

Just then, an elderly man dressed in a bright red robe suddenly came down from upstairs.

The old man's eyes were sinister; the moment he appeared...

The women in the hall immediately bowed:

"Greetings, Elder Xiao!"

The old man named Xiao Lao completely ignored the women's bows.

Many guests around were also bowing to the old man, clearly indicating that he was of high status.

Xiao Lao nodded in response to the guests' greetings.

Xiao Lao walked straight up to Ye Yuting and Chen Feng.

Ye Yuting noticed a wary look on Xiao Lao's face, because this old man was a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Xiao Lao focused his gaze on Chen Feng:

"Fellow Daoist, please come up to the fifth floor for a chat!"

The surrounding cultivators all looked surprised upon hearing Elder Xiao's words.

The fifth floor is a floor that only cultivators at the half-step Spirit Transformation stage can enter.

Moreover, they cannot be ordinary half-step Spirit Transformation; they must either be powerful or be the rulers of a major power.

What's more, it was Elder Xiao himself who came out to greet them.

This has made many people curious about Chen Feng's identity.

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised that the old man invited him to the fifth floor, but he didn't refuse. "Okay."

Without saying anything more, Xiao Lao immediately went upstairs.

Ye Yuting's voice rang in Chen Feng's mind. "Fellow Daoist, be careful, the people of the Blood River Sect act very strangely."

Ye Yuting was clearly wary of Xiao Lao's invitation to Chen Feng to go up to the fifth floor.

Chen Feng replied telepathically, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He came here today just to buy something.

He won't provoke anyone unless they actively seek trouble for him.

Chen Feng then followed Elder Xiao to the fifth floor.

This floor is not very large, and there are very few cultivators, only a handful.

These people all showed surprise when they saw Chen Feng and Ye Yuting.

Because Chen Feng and the other person were only at the Nascent Soul stage.

But they quickly concealed their surprise.

The cultivators on this level are all at the half-step Spirit Transformation stage. Cultivators at this level are extremely shrewd and rarely show their true feelings on their faces.

Elder Xiao led Chen Feng to a seat and then said to Chen Feng, "

Is this your first time visiting our chamber of commerce, fellow Daoist?

Xiao Lao's expression remained numb throughout, it was unclear whether this was due to the Cultivation Method he practiced or simply his personality.

Chen Feng said, "I'd like to know why you sent me to the fifth level. I'm only at the Nascent Soul Realm."

Old Xiao shook his head:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such modesty. Although your cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, your physical strength far surpasses that of Nascent Soul. You are naturally capable of entering the fifth level."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. His physical body was protected by stellar energy, making it very difficult for outsiders to detect.

But the old demon in front of him knew that Chen Feng had a strong physical body, which made Chen Feng wary.

Xiao Lao seemed to have noticed Chen Feng's wariness, and he immediately said:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be surprised. Our Blood River Sect is skilled in secret techniques related to blood, and we are extremely sensitive to the Qi and Blood of cultivators, which is why we were able to detect the strength of your physical body."

Chen Feng nodded upon hearing this. "I see."

Elder Xiao then asked, "May I ask which faction you belong to? There aren't many factions on Xuanxiao Star that focus on body cultivation. With such a powerful physique, you must come from an extraordinary background."

"I am merely Rogue Cultivator, and I have come here to purchase some items from your esteemed merchant guild."

Chen Feng didn't want to waste time with the other party, so he got straight to the point.

Elder Xiao said, "Oh? I wonder what you wish to buy, fellow Daoist? Our Blood River Merchant Guild wouldn't presume to claim to be the number one merchant guild on Xuanxiao Star, but whatever is currently available in the cultivation world, our guild can provide it."

Xiao Lao could tell that Chen Feng didn't want to talk any more, so he didn't press the matter further.

"I wonder if your esteemed chamber of commerce possesses a material called 'Void Sand'?" Chen Feng inquired.

Upon hearing "Void Sand," Elder Xiao's expression finally changed slightly, and he immediately said:

"What you're looking for, fellow Daoist, is truly rare. Other merchant guilds probably wouldn't have this, but our guild does have some."

What's the price?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lao said:

"One tael is worth 100,000 Spirit Stone!"

Transactions between cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above are settled using top-grade Spirit Stone.

The 100,000 Spirit Stone that Elder Xiao mentioned were naturally top-grade Spirit Stone.

Ye Yuting, who was standing next to her, was also taken aback when she heard the price.

One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stone —ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator typically only possess tens of thousands of top-grade Spirit Stone, so one hundred thousand is no small sum.

Elder Xiao said, "Fellow Daoist, don't think it's expensive. This item is extremely rare. Even a Void Refinement expert would have a great need for it, since with the Void Sand, one can create an independent space."

Chen Feng asked, "How many members does your esteemed business association have?"

Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stone are not too bad for Chen Feng at the moment. This time, he brought one million top-grade Spirit Stone with him to Xuanxiao Star, in order to acquire materials related to space.

When Xiao Lao saw that Chen Feng was actually asking how much there was, he was somewhat surprised.

"Our chamber of commerce currently only has about five taels of Void Sand, and that's all we have."

Old Xiao picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly.

"Alright, I'll take them all. Also, I wonder if your merchant guild has any space stones or void crystal tunnels?"

Chen Feng asked again.

When Elder Xiao saw that Chen Feng wanted everything, his surprise was no longer concealed.

"Fellow Daoist is truly generous. We certainly have both of these spatial materials. May I ask how many you require?"

Half an hour later.

Chen Feng and Ye Yuting walked out of the Blood River Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Chen Feng's storage ring contained five taels of Void Sand and some spatial materials.

This trip cost Chen Feng over a million top-grade Spirit Stone.

Ye Yuting was so shocked that she couldn't speak when she saw Chen Feng take out a million top-grade Spirit Stone at once.

On the street of Fangshi, Chen Feng said to Ye Yuting:

"I can go to the teleportation array myself. You can go back to the shop."

Ye Yuting was taken aback:

"Fellow Daoist, this won't do! Let me take you instead."

Chen Feng shook his head. "No need. I'll come again in a while. If you need anything, just contact me using the communication mirror."

Ye Yuting said with a solemn expression:

"Fellow Daoist, is there something wrong with the people from the Blood River Sect?"

Although Ye Yuting had grown up in a sect, she was still a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and she could see Chen Feng's unusual behavior.

Chen Feng nodded:

"Well, some people are looking for death, so I have no choice but to grant their wish. You should go back now."

"Alright, then be careful, fellow Daoist." This time, Ye Yuting didn't persist.

She knew Chen Feng's strength very well. Back then, Chen Feng single-handedly faced dozens of half-step Nascent Spirit Transformation in the Void Heaven Realm, and he still survived.

Although the Blood River Sect is a Spirit Transformation power, it would be virtually impossible for them to capture Chen Feng without the intervention of their sect's patriarch.

After Ye Yuting left, Chen Feng glanced to his left and then headed out of the market.

Not long after Chen Feng left.

Two figures appeared where Chen Feng had just been standing.

One of them was Xiao Lao, whom Chen Feng had spoken with before.

The other person was a pale-faced middle-aged man, who was also a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator.

"Senior brother, it seems he's discovered us," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Elder Xiao nodded. "This person's physical body is so strong, he must have many tricks up his sleeve. It's normal that he was able to detect us."

"Senior brother, are we really going to take action against this person? Our people haven't found out his background yet, so it might be unwise to act rashly." The middle-aged man was clearly hesitant.

Elder Xiao said in a deep voice:

"How many years have we been stuck at the half-step Spirit Transformation? This person's physical strength is unparalleled in the world. If we could absorb his blood, our chances of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage would definitely increase by 30%!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked horrified.

"Thirty percent? How is that possible!"

Breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage is many times more difficult for a cultivator than breaking through to the Nascent Soul Transformation stage.

Even with a Nascent Spirit Transformation artifact, the chances can only be increased by 10% to 20%. This is related not only to the cultivator's cultivation Cultivation Method but also to their talent.

That's why the middle-aged man was so surprised when he heard about a 30% chance.

"My Blood River Secret Technique has reached its peak, and my perception of Qi and Blood is infallible. If we absorb this person's blood, increasing the probability by 30% is not a problem."

A fiery glint appeared in Xiao Lao's eyes.

He had sensed the fluctuations in Chen Feng's Qi and Blood when Chen Feng entered the Blood River Chamber of Commerce.

This is why he came down to personally receive Chen Feng.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's face no longer showed the fear he had shown before; instead, it was filled with greed.

The chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation is 30%!

This is something no cultivator can refuse; even the most cautious person would take the risk, or even go mad!

Reaching the Spirit Transformation not only extends lifespan to ten thousand years, but also brings about a qualitative change in strength.

Become a true master in the world of cultivation!

In their Blood River Sect, although there are many half-step Spirit Transformation cultivators, very few can actually break through to the Spirit Transformation.

This is enough to illustrate how difficult this level of attainment is.

Without an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity of luck, it is almost impossible for an ordinary cultivator to break through to the Spirit Transformation in their lifetime.

"Senior brother, since that's the case, let's make our move!" The middle-aged man's face revealed a ruthless expression.

Elder Xiao shook his head. "This person possesses such a strong physical body; his strength is definitely extraordinary. To be on the safe side, we should call more people over."

"Okay, I'll contact them now!"

Without hesitation, the middle-aged man immediately activated a sound transmission talisman.

Although contacting other people would reduce the amount of blood they receive.

But the more people there are, the greater the chance of winning.

After leaving the market, Chen Feng headed towards the teleportation array.

Chen Feng gained a lot from this trip to Xuanxiao Star.

Not only did I broaden my horizons, but I also obtained a lot of space-related materials. With these materials, research on antimatter will surely be able to advance further.

Just then, a dozen or so people suddenly appeared not far in front of Chen Feng.

These dozen or so people were all dressed in long red robes.

Six of them possessed the cultivation level of a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator, while the rest were all at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

And the one leading them was none other than Old Man Xiao.

Chen Feng looked at Elder Xiao and asked, "What is the meaning of this, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Feng really didn't want to make a move on Xuanxiao Star. He only came here to buy some things, but he still ended up being targeted.

He was very curious. Surely the Blood River Sect wouldn't stoop to such a low level as to plot against him for a few Spirit Stone?

Old Xiao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I only wish to borrow something from you. I humbly request that you part with it."

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

Seeing that Chen Feng remained so calm despite being blocked by so many people.

For some reason, Xiao Lao suddenly felt uneasy.

A half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Blood River Sect standing nearby said coldly:

"Senior brother, why waste words with him? Let's take him down first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, streaks of blood-red light appeared around this half-step Spirit Transformation.

These blood-red lights merged with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a huge blood-red ghost face.

Chen Feng stared at the giant ghost face in the distance, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"This Cultivation Method, which fuses one's own blood with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is indeed peculiar."

Chen Feng could sense that the ghostly face that the opponent had conjured was comparable to Divine Ability.

Just then, Ghost Face lunged at Chen Feng.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it struck Chen Feng in an instant.

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy rippled outwards, distorting the surrounding space.

"Senior brother, this person is nothing special!" A look of contempt flashed in the eyes of the cultivator who made the move.

He originally thought the person he was going to deal with this time was very strong, so he used the Blood River Sect's unique secret technique right away.

But the opponent neither dodged nor evaded, directly taking his secret technique head-on.

After the cultivator who made the move finished speaking, he received no response from the others.

Because everyone else in the room was still looking in Chen Feng's direction.

The bloody light over there has already dissipated.

Chen Feng remained standing there, without any injuries.

He acted as if nothing had happened.

Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivator who had made the move was filled with disbelief.

"How... how is this possible!"

Their Blood River Sect's secret techniques have been famous in Qingling Mountain for a long time, and even half-step Spirit Transformation cultivators dare not take them head-on.

Because any cultivator struck by this secret technique will have their blood expelled from their body, instantly turning them into a dried-up corpse.

This is why the Blood River Sect is labeled as a demonic sect.

Because they not only suck blood, but their Cultivation Method are also extremely bizarre.

Chen Feng looked at the crowd in the distance and then said:

"I see. Your Cultivation Method involves manipulating the blood within a cultivator's body, but unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong target."

This Divine Ability power had no effect on him.

It's naturally because of the stellar energy within him.

As long as the stellar energy circulates within his body, the only way to activate his blood is to completely deplete all of his stellar energy in an instant.

But that's clearly impossible.

"Retreat!" Xiao Lao suddenly shouted, and without hesitation, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

At that moment, fear gripped his heart.

They withstood the Blood River Sect's secret technique head-on without suffering any harm.

This being is simply beyond their ability to deal with.

At this moment, Elder Xiao felt that the other party was likely a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator who had concealed his true cultivation level.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain what just happened.
