Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Although everyone was extremely envious of the two demon cores that the 'burly man' took out, they collectively fell silent when they heard that he wanted to exchange them for the formula of the Five-Ethereal Fragrance Pill.

Chen Tian knew that some of these people must possess the formula for the Five-Ethereal Fragrance Pill, but they dared not take it out, because if their sect found out, the consequences would be extremely dire. After all, major sects would prohibit their disciples from leaking these non-worldly formulas.

Seeing that no one in the secret room dared to respond, the 'burly man' seemed a little anxious and immediately said, "I swear, after obtaining this formula, I will only use it myself and will not leak it to a third party. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"

The 'burly man' was afraid that everyone would have concerns in their hearts, so he thought of using such a vicious oath to dispel everyone's worries.

Sure enough, after hearing her oath, the cultivator who had spoken earlier flipped his hand and took out a red jade slip, handing it to the 'burly man' and saying, "I hope Third Master will remember the poisonous oath you just made."

The 'burly man' couldn't wait to take the jade slip, stick it to his forehead, and scan it roughly. Then, he was immediately overjoyed, throwing the two high-level demon cores on the table to that person and nodding, "Don't worry, Third Master has always kept his word."

Seeing this, Chen Tian finally understood the entire transaction process.

Next, the trade fair continued in an orderly manner, with people taking out magic weapons, elixirs, and even immortal techniques and cultivation methods to exchange for what they needed.

Some transactions were successful, while others failed due to price disagreements. However, even if a transaction failed, people would only shake their heads and sigh softly, without taking any excessive actions, which made the atmosphere of the entire trade fair quite harmonious.

What surprised Chen Tian even more was that among the dazzling array of trading items, many items specifically for demonic cultivators were mixed in. This indicated that there were several demonic cultivators practicing demonic cultivation methods in this secret room.

This was an extremely daring thing to do, because the entire cultivation world was currently hunting down demonic cultivators, and once their identities were revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, after a little thought, Chen Tian was relieved. After all, these demonic cultivators could not enter and exit major formal trading markets to buy and sell items openly like ordinary cultivators. They could only pin their hopes on such secret private trade fairs. Therefore, it was not a novelty for a few demonic cultivators to be mixed in at a trade fair.

After watching for a while, Chen Tian became somewhat bored. Due to the limited strength of these people, the things they took out were not to Chen Tian's liking. Therefore, from beginning to end, Chen Tian sat quietly on his chair, without saying a word.

Chen Tian's unusual behavior finally attracted the attention of the 'burly man'. She suddenly said, "This fellow Daoist has not taken out anything to sell from the beginning, nor has he said what he wants to buy. Is he really here to participate in the trade fair sincerely?"

As soon as the 'burly man' finished speaking, the originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down. Everyone also felt that something was a little unusual at this time, so they stared at Chen Tian with unfriendly expressions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong at this time, Chen Tian chuckled and finally said, "Since Third Master has asked, then I have no choice but to take out some things to exchange."

With that, Chen Tian flipped his right hand and took out five round beads of various sizes from his storage ring, neatly placing them on the stone table.

"Heavens, am I seeing things? They are actually also demon cores of sixth-order demon beasts, and there are five of them!"

Looking at the things Chen Tian took out, the originally quiet secret room became noisy again. Everyone sat up from their chairs, looking incredulously at the five demon cores in front of Chen Tian.

The 'burly man' also seemed a little surprised after seeing this scene. She did not expect that Chen Tian, a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Induction realm, could actually hunt so many demon cores.

Moreover, she did not even know the species of some of the demon cores. It was obvious that they were captured deep in the core of the Yue Li Mountains.

Thinking of this, she immediately looked up at Chen Tian, her eyes twinkling, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Chen Tian smiled again and said, "The things I want to exchange are a bit special. I wonder if any of the fellow Daoists present have them?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, everyone came back to their senses from their deep surprise, but their eyes were still filled with extreme desire.

Indeed, most of these people's cultivation levels were in the Spirit Induction stage, and it was already difficult to hunt a fourth-order demon beast, so where had they seen so many sixth-order demon cores?

Although they were suspicious of Chen Tian's ability to take out so many high-level demon cores at once, they still couldn't wait to ask, "Fellow Daoist, please tell us quickly, what exactly do you want to exchange for?"

Obviously, everyone was already very impatient at this time and wanted Chen Tian's high-level demon cores.

Looking at the anxious appearance of these people, Chen Tian frowned, and then said loudly, "One Yue Li Fruit in exchange for one sixth-order demon core. If anyone has five Yue Li Fruits, then all the demon cores here will belong to him."

"What? You want to exchange for Yue Li Fruits?"

Hearing Chen Tian's exchange conditions, everyone's enthusiasm was like being doused with a basin of cold water, and it was extinguished all at once.

"Fellow Daoist, does it have to be Yue Li Fruits? Magic weapons, elixirs, or even cultivation methods, you name it. As long as I have it, I can exchange it for these five demon cores, okay?"

Although Chen Tian said he would only accept Yue Li Fruits, some people still asked Chen Tian unwillingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people also stared at Chen Tian with expectant eyes, as if hoping that he would change his mind.

"I'm sorry, I don't accept anything other than Yue Li Fruits," Chen Tian shook his head coldly, not moved by his words.

Seeing Chen Tian's firm appearance, everyone sighed inwardly and had to sit back in their seats.

Obviously, they did not have what Chen Tian needed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian's originally expectant mood also dropped to the bottom all at once. It seemed that he still could not buy Yue Li Fruits here.

Just as Chen Tian was about to completely give up, he accidentally glanced up and happened to see the 'burly man' still standing, her eyes fixed on the five demon cores in front of Chen Tian.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's heart suddenly moved, and he excitedly asked, "Third Master, do you perhaps have Yue Li Fruits?"
