Mortal Seeking Immortal

Ye Zhou looked at the gourd and painted the ladle, and then entered it. Through the white light, Ye Zhou was already in a dark stone room. The stone room was very spacious and could easily accommodate more than a hundred people.

More than a hundred chairs, like stars over the moon, surround a simple stone platform half a person's height in the center.

Dozens of monks in black robes had arrived before Ye Zhou. They were either in groups or sitting alone, waiting for the transaction to begin.

Ye Zhou randomly chose a seat in a corner and sat down, quietly waiting for the transaction to begin.

Two quarters of an hour later, a deep male voice sounded from the empty stone platform: "The time has come, the barrier is opened, and the transaction officially begins."

As the male voice sounded, a black figure appeared out of thin air on the stone platform. This black figure wore a blank mask on his face. He stretched out his right hand, and an egg-sized cyan orb flew into the air from his hand. In the middle, the bead body turned into a ray of green light, spreading around the stone chamber and quickly enveloping the entire stone chamber.

The male monk with the blank mask said: "Welcome fellow Taoists to come and participate in this transaction. Without further ado, let's ask Fellow Taoist Wolf to show us the good things he has brought."

Having said that, the male cultivator with the blank mask stretched out his hand in a certain direction under the stage as an invitation. Everyone in the stone room immediately focused their attention on that point. A monk wearing a wolf mask stood up from his seat and said not much. He said, taking out an irregular 'gold nugget' the size of a baby's fist directly from the storage ring.

The moment the 'gold nugget' appeared, Ye Zhou heard several whispers from the monks around him: "It's actually gold essence! It's such a big piece of gold essence. You have to know that if a monk in the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen Realm wants to refine such a huge piece of gold essence, A piece of gold will take at least several decades.”

"With the size of this gold essence, it is enough to make a low-grade pill-forming flying sword! I wonder what this fellow Taoist wants to exchange for it?"

Everyone looked at the wolf-faced monk. The wolf-faced monk said in a hoarse voice: "I want to exchange this gold essence for two eggs of the black water bone-eating king insect. I wonder which fellow Taoist is willing to trade with me?"

After saying that, Ye Zhou felt the wolf-faced monk's eyes sweeping over every monk present. Within a moment, a monk wearing an owl mask stood up and said, "I have the Black Water Bone-Eating King." Chong Chong Egg, I am willing to exchange this piece of gold essence with you.”

After that, the two monks completed the transaction in full view of the public. After the owl-masked monk accepted the gold essence, he took out a few spiritual insect eggs as big as pearls from the storage ring and said, "I have a few more here. I want to exchange these eggs of a hibiscus and pink jade mantis for some earth fire silk. I wonder which fellow Taoist here is willing to trade with me?"

After the owl-masked monk finished speaking, the monks present did not reply.

Seeing this, the owl-masked monk sighed slightly in disappointment. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard a rough male voice coming from the corner: "Fellow Taoist, I am very interested in these hibiscus and pink jade mantis eggs of yours. I just don’t have Earth Fire Silk on hand, can I exchange it for other items?”

Ye Zhou looked around and saw that the monk who spoke was sitting alone in the corner like him, wearing a horse mask on his head.

As soon as the horse-faced monk finished speaking, he saw the owl-masked monk shaking his head, presumably because he was unwilling to exchange these hibiscus pink jade mantis eggs for other things.

The horse-faced monk still refused to give up and continued: "I have all kinds of weapon refining materials on hand, as well as rare spiritual plants, rare insect eggs, identity jade certificates, etc., which can be used to exchange for your hibiscus pink jade mantis eggs. You Think about it again?”

The moment Ye Zhou heard the identity jade certificate, he looked excitedly in the direction of the horse-faced monk. However, Ye Zhou did not have the hibiscus pink jade mantis eggs that the horse-faced monk needed, and wanted to exchange them for other items.

The owl-masked monk refused directly and said: "Sorry, I don't intend to exchange these spiritual insect eggs for other things. Fellow Taoist, you should find someone else to exchange them with."

Having said that, the owl-masked monk sat down directly. At this time, another monk couldn't wait to get up and show everyone the items he planned to trade this time.

Ye Zhou sent a message to the horse-faced monk in the corner: "Fellow Taoist, can your identity jade certificate be exchanged for other items?"

The next moment, Ye Zhou felt a gaze cast on him from under the mask of the horse-faced monk, and then he heard the horse-faced monk's message: "What? Fellow Taoist, are you interested in the identity jade certificate?"

"But it's a pity. Identity jade certificates are very popular now. I spent a lot of effort to get them. I plan to use them in exchange for hibiscus pink jade mantis eggs. I will discuss it with me after my fellow Taoist has the spiritual insect eggs. It’s a matter of transaction.”

After hearing this, Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Seeing that the horse-faced monk was determined to exchange for the hibiscus pink jade mantis eggs, he decided to see if other monks had jade certificates of identity before making any plans.

Ye Zhou continued to watch patiently as the other monks traded. After a while, most of the monks present had completed their transactions, leaving only a few who had not yet spoken.

Ye Zhou glanced at the few people left and saw that they had no intention of getting up to trade items, so he took out two three-thousand-year-old wood spirit fruits from the storage ring and said, "I want to use these two wood spirit fruits in exchange for I wonder which fellow Taoist here is willing to exchange it with me for the jade certificate of identity?”

This wood spirit fruit is the main spiritual plant for refining the wood spirit pill. The wood spirit pill can be used to improve the cultivation of monks. However, because the wood spirit fruit is extremely difficult to raise and is in high demand in the world of immortality, it is very rare.

Ye Zhou thought that with so many monks present, there would always be a few monks who would be interested in his Wood Spirit Fruit.

Sure enough, after Ye Zhou finished speaking, three monks expressed great interest in the two wood spirit fruits in Ye Zhou's hands. However, unfortunately, they did not have the identity jade certificate that Ye Zhou needed, so Ye Zhou also rejected their trade requests one by one.

After waiting for a while, Ye Zhou saw that no one was interested in his wood spirit fruit, so he sat back on his chair with some disappointment.

At this moment, the horse-faced monk sent a message to Ye Zhou again: "Fellow Taoist, in the past, you might have been able to exchange rare spiritual plants for identity jade certificates, but now the sect has very strict control over the identity jade certificates issued. , no one has any extra identity documents to trade."

After hearing this, Ye Zhou couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why is this?"

The horse-faced monk snorted coldly: "Why else? It's not the good deeds of those evil cultivators."

"This time, the major sects sent people to join forces to eradicate the evil cultivators. It was found that many evil cultivators held jade certificates of identity issued by the seven major sects. This made the heads and elders of the seven major sects feel very embarrassed."

"So the higher-ups have ordered that from now on, the status certificates issued within each sect must be approved by the elders, stewards and others at all levels, and can no longer be distributed as randomly as before."
