I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

Three days later, it was just nightfall.

In the northwest corner of Wuding City, in a hidden alley.

A deserted tavern, which had already closed, was still open today.

The skinny old shopkeeper, nearly seventy years old, with white hair and a palm-leaf fan in his hand, stood at the door, gently fanning the fan and looking at the entrance of the quiet alley, as if welcoming something.

The location of this alley was really remote, and there was not even a ghost on weekdays, but it seemed quite lively tonight, with one or two figures appearing from time to time.

They either walked like ordinary people, or turned into a light, a cloud of mist, a flame...all kinds of weird ways, and rushed to the tavern.

When these people appeared, they all handed the old man a beast-shaped medal, greeted each other, and then walked straight into the narrow and dark tavern.

At this time, another figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

It was a figure wearing a black robe and a moon-white mask. There was no special feature in his appearance, and his age could not be seen. There was a trace of mysterious energy fluctuation on the mask, which could block the detection of spiritual consciousness.

At this time, the man in black seemed to be walking normally, but in just a few steps, he had crossed the alley of more than ten feet long and came to the door of the wine shop.

He handed a black beast-shaped medal to the old man.

"Daoyou, this is the place where the high-level monks' trade fair is held."

A slightly hoarse voice came from under the mask.

The skinny old man glanced at the man in black, felt the pressure of the other party from the Return to Origin Realm monk, checked the medal in his hand, returned the medal, and responded with a fist.

"Welcome to our store, the trade fair will start in a quarter of an hour, please come in!"

The man in black returned the greeting and then walked into the wine shop.

In the wine shop, both sides of the road were filled with wine jars, and there was only one alley leading to the back hall.

However, the man in black had already sensed that there was an invisible energy barrier in front of the passage with a divine light in his eyes.

This is not only a concealment array, but also an energy blocking restriction. Only cultivators of the second realm of the innate (Guiyuan realm, Yuangang realm, and Kongshen realm) can offset the blocking force.

The black-robed man kept walking. Before he stepped into the restriction, a burst of yellow light surged around him, directly passing through the light curtain, creating an energy ripple.

The next moment, the figure disappeared in the wine shop.

Seeing this, the old man waved his palm-leaf fan and talked to himself.

"This year's trade fair is more lively than in previous years."

...

After passing through the restriction in the wine shop, Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, and a tunnel appeared, leading to a wide underground space.

There are restrictions around the space, and people from the outside world cannot use their spiritual sense to spy on the situation here.

"This high-level cultivator trade fair is quite interesting."

Since Elder Ding gave Zhao Heng the black medal three days ago and told him about the trade fair, Zhao Heng has been interested in it and came to attend the fair today.

However, to be on the safe side, he did not go directly from Hanhai Trading Company to this place.

Instead, he went out of the city first, changed his luggage, used the transformation technique of the black jade mask to change the appearance of the mask, and used the aura-watching technique to cover up his aura before coming to the trade fair.

It can be seen that this trade fair jointly held by Hanhai Trading Company and Dayan Sect is of high standard.

The old man at the door of the wine shop just now was actually a cultivator in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm. The restrictions arranged in front of the door and the underground space were also quite sophisticated.

When Zhao Heng walked to the end of the stairs, he saw an open underground space in front of him.

The space was brightly lit. Not only was an exquisite two-story attic built, but there were also rockery and flowing water on the periphery, many green plants, and the formation was used to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to keep the air fresh.

As soon as Zhao Heng arrived, a man and a woman, two white-clothed cultivators came forward.

"Welcome to this trade fair, senior, please follow us."

Both of them were cultivators in the Ascension Realm, and at this moment they respectfully led the way for Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng followed the two into the attic and went directly to the second floor.

After passing through another barrier that blocked the breath, a bright hall appeared in front of him.

There were twenty or thirty wooden chairs placed in the hall, with wide intervals between them.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen figures sitting in the hall. With Zhao Heng's spiritual sense, he immediately sensed that everyone present was a strong person in the second realm of the innate realm.

Most of them were Qi-refining practitioners in the Return Origin Realm, and there were also several body-building practitioners in the Yuan Gang Realm and divine masters in the Control God Realm, sitting among them.

Obviously, the people who participated in this high-level cultivator trade fair were not only cultivators in Wuding City, but also strong people who came from outside the city.

At this time, Zhao Heng immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as he stepped into the hall.

A series of spiritual consciousness and aura swept towards him, and Zhao Heng still released the aura of a cultivator in the early stage of the Return Origin Realm to respond.

Among the people present, most of them were cultivators in the early stage of the second realm of the innate realm, a few of them reached the middle stage, and there was also a cultivator in the late stage.

Zhao Heng's cultivation was very ordinary here, and no one paid much attention to it.

Then, Zhao Heng found an inconspicuous corner in the hall and sat down.

At this time, the trade fair had not yet started, and Zhao Heng secretly observed the people present.

Many of them, like him, covered their faces and changed their auras. Obviously, they did not want their true identities to be known in such a sensitive place as the trade fair.

As time passed, participants arrived in the trade fair hall one after another.

In the end, there were 27 innate second-level cultivators gathered in the hall, and three of them reached the late stage of this realm.

In the border area, so many strong people can gather at one time to participate in a trade fair. It can be seen that this fair is of great value. Zhao Heng is looking forward to it more and more.

Not long after, a crisp bell sounded in the attic.

A powerful forbidden barrier appeared around the attic, covering the entire attic.

The barrier emits strong energy fluctuations, which is extremely difficult to break even for a cultivator in the second realm of innateness.

At the same time as the ban appeared, a ball of dark green fire suddenly appeared on a small oval platform in front of the hall.

"Boom...!"

The air made a slight explosion, and the temperature in the hall rose rapidly.

A heat wave swept through the venue, making the strong people present feel frightened.

The next moment, the green fireball twisted and deformed, and condensed into a human figure.

As the flames faded, an old man wearing a dark purple Taoist robe, with a well-proportioned figure, a grayish face, and strange green light in his eyes, appeared on the platform.

Seeing the figure on the high platform clearly, someone in the crowd sitting in the hall suddenly exclaimed.

"Master Bihuo!"

"Why is he here?"

...

The crowd was in a commotion, and many people looked at the purple-clothed old Taoist with a look of fear, obviously the identity and strength of the newcomer were extraordinary.

Although Zhao Heng didn't know the details of this person, he had sensed it the moment the other party appeared.

The aura of this old Taoist was strong, overwhelming everyone present. He was a peak cultivator of the Return to Origin Realm.

Moreover, there was a trace of evil and blood in the other party's hot breath.

If it were in the Southern Region, this kind of aura and appearance would definitely be labeled as a "demon of the devil".

But in Zhonglingtian, there are only human races and demon races, as well as the division of various cultivation systems, and there is no distinction between good and evil.

At this time, True Man Bihuo glanced at the people present and grinned, "How are you, fellow Taoists? I, Bihuo, was invited by Dayan Sect and Hanhai Trading Company to host this trade fair. I hope you can support me!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

For such a gathering of high-level cultivators to trade, in order to prevent friction or someone breaking the rules of the trade fair, it is natural to invite some cultivators who can calm the situation to host.

Although True Man Bihuo in front of him is a casual cultivator, he is quite famous in the southwest border area.

Not only because he is a peak powerhouse in the Return Origin Realm, but also because this person is quite vicious and holds grudges. Anyone who has provoked him will basically be retaliated with double the blows.

It is rumored that this person's hands are even stained with the blood of many innate second-level powerhouses, and he has a fierce reputation.

With him hosting the trade fair, even if someone is dissatisfied, they dare not show it.

"Hehe... It seems that everyone has no objection to me hosting the trade fair. In this case, let me talk about the rules first."

Bihuo Zhenren coughed twice and said: "Some of the Taoist friends present may not have participated in the trade fair for the first time.

According to the old rules, the trade fair is divided into two processes. The first process is "round-robin trading". Each person trades with all Taoist friends in turn, and trades at most three items.

The second process is "free trading". Everyone can conduct private and confidential transactions in the back hall.

But no matter what kind of transaction, once the transaction is successful, the organizer will charge a commission of "half of the transaction amount."

Hearing that half of the transaction amount, that is, 5% commission, will be charged, the people present did not react much.

This trade fair can be held because of the behind-the-scenes promotion of Dayan Sect and Hanhai Commercial Bank.

Both parties not only bear the responsibility of hosting the transaction process, but also ensure the safety of traders at the trade fair. It is completely reasonable to charge these commissions.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, I won't waste my words. Let's start the transaction from the first row, the first Taoist from the left."

The Jade Fire Immortal cast his eyes on the first seat on the left hand side of the first row.

There sat a gray-clothed man wearing a bamboo hat, a body forging practitioner in the early stage of the Yuan Gang Realm.

The gray-clothed man heard this and immediately stood up and took out a fist-sized piece of metal with a brilliant silver glow from his storage ring.

"This piece of "top-grade silver marrow crystal" is a high-level refining material I got by chance. If it is mixed with the Xuanbao used by the Taoists, it can enhance the power increase of the Xuanbao and greatly improve the strength and quality of the Xuanbao.

Its preciousness is no worse than that of ordinary Xuan-grade spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

I want to use this treasure to exchange for some Xuandan or Xuan-grade spiritual objects of heaven and earth that can strengthen the body and enhance the blood."

After the gray-clothed man finished speaking, there was silence at the scene.

The silver marrow crystal is indeed a high-level refining material, but it is not rare, and its efficacy is not as exaggerated as this person said.

More importantly, to obtain this item, one must find an equipment refiner to help with the transformation and sacrifice, which is quite time-consuming and laborious, so no one is interested in this item.

Seeing that no one was willing to trade with him, the gray-robed man was obviously stunned.

True Man Bihuo said bluntly: "Daoyou, no one cares about your top-grade silver marrow crystal. Do you have any other treasures to trade?"

The gray-robed man showed embarrassment in his eyes and shook his head in a muffled voice.

"No... no more!" Then he sat down awkwardly.

The first round of the trade fair was in vain.

Obviously, in this special trade fair, no one would go out to make a move without really good things.

Next came the second cultivator, a female cultivator in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm. She used some secret technique to condense mist on her face, covering her face.

This woman directly took out two Xuan-grade spiritual objects of heaven and earth to exchange for two spiritual objects of heaven and earth with different attributes.

The two items immediately attracted the interest of other cultivators. Someone immediately made a deal with them and shared the commission.

Afterwards, the cultivators in the hall stood up to trade one after another, and all kinds of treasures began to appear.

There were various spiritual objects of heaven and earth, Xuan-grade classics, and even Xuan treasures, talismans, pills, formations... and so on.

Most of them were commonly used by cultivators of the second level of Xiantian, or some more precious objects.

For example, a man in a yellow robe directly took out a bottle of elixir comparable to earth-grade spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and a top-level Xuan treasure for trading, which attracted many cultivators on the scene to bid for the transaction.

Even Zhao Heng was a little tempted. With his wealth, he could naturally exchange these things, but he still did not make a move.

Because he wanted to trade what he needed most, frequent transactions would only attract attention and even bring disaster.

Zhao Heng had been suppressing the urge to trade, watching the treasures fall into the hands of others.

These included two earth-grade spiritual objects, an earth-grade secret technique, and a talisman that could withstand three full-strength attacks from a peak Guiyuan Realm warrior.

At this time, most of the monks had already traded their items publicly, and it was the turn of the monks in the last two rows.

At this time, a thin figure wearing a white cloak and a white mask stood up from the left corner.

This was a cultivator in the early stage of the Control God Realm, and judging from her figure, she should be a woman.

At this time, under the mask of the woman, a pair of slightly nervous eyes swept across the crowd.

Everyone observed her words and expressions, and suddenly felt that this woman probably didn't have anything good.

"I... I only want to trade one item, which is this item."

As the woman's somewhat weak voice fell, her white and tender palm raised to the void.

"Boom...!"

A beam of light purple flames flickered in the void, and then turned into a ball of purple flames.

The flames bloomed like flowers, shining brightly, as beautiful as a work of art.

At the same time, a strong hot breath spread, attracting the power of the fire element in the hall, whistling and gathering, forming waves of heat.

This scene made many people's eyes light up, including Zhao Heng, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time.

Two rays of light flashed in his eyes, and he knew that it was time for him to leave!
