"We’re going in."
Yao Lao waved his hand, and his figure flickered.
In just a few flashes, he appeared before the spatial wormhole. Wei Yang and Xiao Yan immediately followed closely behind.
When the three of them arrived, several figures could be seen occasionally flying over from different directions. Their gazes paused briefly on the master and disciples, then quickly withdrew. On a few faces, a trace of awe flickered.
Stepping across the void, the trio walked straight into the spatial wormhole.
At the instant they entered, a strange power swept across their bodies. This power didn’t carry any malice; instead, it felt more like a kind of scanning or detection. Wei Yang felt darkness flash before his eyes for a moment, then light and the sound of bustling chatter filled his ears.
He squinted slightly.
The world before him had changed into the appearance of an ancient-looking small town. The town itself wasn’t large, and the sky above was filled with a hazy gray color. From somewhere within, faint yet violent spatial ripples could be sensed.
"This is Space Town—the location of the Spatial Trade Fair. Although it isn’t as vast as places like the Pill Realm or the Gu Realm, it’s still more than large enough to serve as a trading ground," Yao Lao said with a smile as he looked at the lively streets ahead.
Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both nodded.
To open up a separate pocket of space solely for trading, and one capable of withstanding the gathering of so many powerful experts without collapsing—its stability was astonishing. Such craftsmanship was no small feat.
Though the space wasn’t vast, it was definitely not something an average person could create. Since it was used only as a trading platform, its size was already more than sufficient.
"Looks like we’re early. Let’s take a look around first. You won’t find any defective goods here—everything’s rare and precious," Yao Lao said with a chuckle, stepping forward toward one of the streets. "Come on, let me broaden your horizons."
Hearing this, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan followed closely, curiosity in their eyes as they scanned the stalls on both sides.
Along the street, rows of green stone platforms were neatly arranged. Floating above them were various scrolls, jade bottles, jade boxes, weapons, magic cores, and even beast corpses. A faint light radiated from these items, making it clear that none of them were ordinary.
Behind each stone platform sat a figure in meditation. Every one of them exuded a strong and deep aura—clearly not people to be trifled with.
"Earth Demon Leg, High-Level Earth Grade Dou Technique."
"Grand Profound Technique, High-Level Earth Grade Cultivation Method."
"Transformation Pill, High-Grade Tier 7 Pill."
"Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Ginseng."
"Ice Jade Bone Flower."
As Wei Yang’s gaze swept from one stall to another, the variety of dazzling items and their brief introductions constantly flashed before his eyes. There wasn’t a single ordinary item among them. Even with Wei Yang’s current insight and composure, he couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.
Beside him, Xiao Yan’s eyes shone faintly with excitement. So many treasures gathered in one place—it was truly an eye-opening experience.
"How much for this Ice Jade Bone Flower?" Wei Yang stepped forward and stopped before a stall, beginning to negotiate with the vendor.
Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned closer. The Ice Jade Bone Flower—an extremely rare mystical flower.
When used as the main ingredient, combined with other precious herbs, it could be refined into the Ice Jade Bone Pill, a pill of at least high-grade Tier 7 quality. Though not the most valuable in rank, it was exceedingly rare.
As for its effect—it was especially suited for women, capable of enhancing physique and even improving appearance and skin tone. Just from the name Ice Jade Bone, one could already tell its charm.
To some women, this pill was even more precious than a Tier 8 Pill. After a round of bargaining, Wei Yang successfully traded a Tier 7 Life Returning Pill for the Ice Jade Bone Flower. Then he and Xiao Yan gathered together, quietly discussing.
"This Ice Jade Bone Flower has plenty of years on it. If paired with the right supporting herbs, it could be refined into a two or even three-colored Tier 8 pill."
"But there’s only one flower. We’ve got Shuo’er and Xiao’er—what, do we give them half a pill each?"
"No rush. I’ve got a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Bone Ginseng and a Thousand-Year Ice Lotus. When we get back, we’ll study the pill formula and tweak it a bit. Add more materials—should be able to refine two pills from one batch."
"Makes sense, as for the spirituality, we’ll probably have to push it to the limit, otherwise the spiritual essence won’t be enough to reach the Tier 8 level."
"When the time comes, we’ll take turns, after I’m done, you’ll go next, also, prepare more Spirit Nourishment Powder in advance and that should make it fine."
"Alright."
At the side, Yao Lao stroked his beard with a smile and added, "If necessary, this old man can also help with the Spiritual Enhancement."
Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both nodded, "With teacher helping, then never mind two or three colors, even if we refine two pills in one batch, it should still come out as four or five colors."
"As for the pill formula and dosage, we still need to study it carefully." Yao Lao said in thought. So the three of them began murmuring and discussing in low voices.
To have three alchemy masters spending their effort and time just to refine one more pill—probably in this entire world, only Wei Shuo and Xiao Xiao, those two little ones, could enjoy such treatment.
They walked as they talked, their eyes wandering as they went.
"Earth Core Spirit Paste, pills refined from this can attract Six-Colored Pill Lightning, good stuff."
Their gazes swept across all kinds of medicinal ingredients emitting shocking energy fluctuations, and both Wei Yang and Xiao Yan were dazzled, their hearts itching with desire. The street wasn’t long, just a few hundred meters.
Soon, the three reached the end, stopping reluctantly. Just on this one street alone, there were already over a dozen things that tempted them. But temptation was one thing, since none of them were urgent needs, after briefly asking about the prices, they gave up the idea of buying.
These stall owners were all cunning old foxes, the items they asked for in exchange were never worth less than what they sold, making it impossible to get a bargain. Considering their funds weren’t exactly abundant, they eventually restrained the urge to splurge.
It was like shopping—if you bought everything you liked, by the time you reached the end of the street, your pockets would be empty. The real trade fair hadn’t even started yet, before getting the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map, how could they dare to spend so recklessly.
"If I’d known, I would’ve refined more pills as reserves earlier." Xiao Yan said with a helpless, bitter smile.
"With so many good things here, no matter how many pills you prepared, it still wouldn’t be enough, what, you planning to buy out all of Space Town?" Wei Yang rolled his eyes.
"Uh, true." Xiao Yan scratched his head.
If you tried to buy everything that looked good, even an imperial clan would go bankrupt here. Only after coming to the Spatial Trade Fair did they realize just how poor they really were. That feeling of tight pockets, they hadn’t experienced it in a long time.
Seeing so many good things but being unable to buy them—it was painful. The two brothers exchanged a glance, both silent. With a sigh of regret, they were about to continue deeper into the town when—
"Hm?"
Wei Yang suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on a nearby stall.
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao paused, following his line of sight. What he saw was a small stone shining with seven colors. It was about half the size of a fist, and its surface was marked with seven clear lines. Faintly, a unique energy spread out from the stone.
"This is... a Seven-Colored Origin Stone." Seeing it, Xiao Yan’s brows lifted slightly as he recognized the item.
Yao Lao smiled, stroking his beard, and nodded, "Mm, indeed, a Seven-Colored Origin Stone, quite a rare thing."
