Chapter 1441: with translation of chapter title

Seeing the two girls determined to craft talismans, Lin Feng also shook his head helplessly.

Immediately after, he glanced at the yellow talisman in his hand and chuckled inwardly: 'Still, the way of talismans is not bad; at least it gives me another means against enemies.'

'However, the trading fair will be in a few days; I hope this time I can smoothly exchange for what I want.'

As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his hand and took out the dozen-odd fire-attribute heavenly treasures and several ninth-tier Beast Fires he had obtained on the Dou Qi Continent.

'Most of what I have now comes from the Dou Qi Continent; aside from pills, there's nothing I can trade. However, the Imperial Spirit Flame researched by the ancient emperor Tuoshe could be refined some; then, at the trading fair, if I encounter something useful besides pills, I could still have something to trade with the other party.'

'Furthermore, as I heard from Xiao Rong earlier, after the trading fair ends, the city's trading market will still see many people selling various heavenly treasures. Most of the items they hold fail to meet the trading fair's standards, yet they are still quite good. Those who do not bring their treasures or spirit liquids to the fair often go there to look. Even if they have an advantage and luck is good, they might snag a leak—items overlooked by the appraisers of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.'

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately recalled the method of crafting the Imperial Spirit Flame in his mind.

Then, skillfully scooping up two ninth-tier Beast Fires, he collided them together, fusing them with a special method.

Three days passed in this silent manner without anyone noticing.

That early morning, Lin Feng, who had long anticipated the trading fair, summoned Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu—the two girls who had bought talisman brushes outside yesterday and successfully refined talismans—and then swiftly headed toward the city center.

After all, he had already learned from the invitation the exact time of today's trading fair and which hall of the trading house it would be held in.

Thus, he naturally would not go around inquiring about this information.

Of course, in the morning of Sky Void City, many others were also doing the same.

After making preparations and confirming there were no issues, they all flew toward the city center.

'Tsk tsk, the Heavenly Thunder Sect truly deserves its reputation as the oldest and strongest of the Five Great Holy Lands; with such a spectacle, it is indeed a grand event worthy of its name!'

Before the massive, imposing white jade building at the city center, Lin Feng gazed at the three gates thronged with people coming and going, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

He had previously anticipated that the Heavenly Thunder Sect's trading fair would attract many powerful participants.

But now, seeing the sea of heads ahead, he never imagined the trading fair would be this lively!

One must know that the minimum requirement to participate in this trading fair is the Ying Tian Realm, comparable to the Dou Zun Realm on the Dou Qi Continent, plus a presentable trade item.

While stepping forward to join the line, he looked at the long queue ahead.

But upon careful thought, this is not surprising.

After all, the Heavenly Thunder Sect is a renowned presence throughout the Eastern Region.

Furthermore, according to the information he recently gathered, the Heavenly Thunder Sect also exerted great effort in the event of resisting the invasion of foreign evil clans.

At the same time, while learning this information, he also inadvertently came to know.

These foreign evil clans seem to be somewhat fearful of yang and rigid things like thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.

Thus, the Heavenly Thunder Sect also has a considerable advantage when confronting those foreign evil clans.

While pondering, Lin Feng, after waiting in line for a while, also arrived at the gate of the trading house.

Upon his arrival, the two Ying Tian Realm cultivators maintaining order at the gate clasped their hands and said, 'Senior, please show your invitation.'

'Whoosh'

Before the speaker could finish, a purple invitation flew from Lin Feng's hand.

And its flight speed was neither fast nor slow, just right for that Ying Tian Realm cultivator to catch.

At the same time, the Heavenly Thunder Sect cultivator who had spoken quickly reached out and caught the purple invitation.

After glancing at it and confirming there was no problem, he then took out a seal and stamped it.

'Please proceed, senior.'

After doing that, the Heavenly Thunder Sect cultivator immediately returned the invitation and cleared a path.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't waste words, simply waved his hand to take back the invitation and then strode straight into the gate.

After entering the gate, following the signs, he turned a corner and arrived at the hall indicated on the invitation.

Upon entering the hall, Lin Feng soon saw a wooden counter not far from the entrance, with several people standing before it.

Behind it, a temporarily installed wooden wall blocked the view, making it impossible to see the interior of the hall clearly.

Turning his gaze back to the counter, Lin Feng discovered that inside the counter stood a man and a woman.

At that moment, they were speaking with some people in front of the counter.

Presumably, these two are staff members of the trading house responsible for certain matters.

'Stall rental desk.'

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the wooden platform hanging above the counter, and he stroked his chin with his palm.

'Looking at this setup, it seems one can also rent a stall here to set up shop and wait for others to come trade.'

Seeing that one could actually set up a stall here, he immediately decided to rent a spot.

After he finishes touring the venue, he can go set up a stall to sell some pills and such.

Thinking of this, he strode to the counter and joined the queue.

When the person ahead finished their business, Lin Feng stepped up to the counter and asked, 'How do I rent a stall here?'

'Senior, the fair's stalls are divided into two classes: Class A and Class B. Class A is closer to the interior of the fair, priced at twenty drops of medium-grade spirit liquid, lasting until the fair ends. Class B is in the outer area, priced at five drops of medium-grade spirit liquid, with the same duration as Class A.'

Upon hearing this, the man promptly reported the stall prices.

'This price is indeed quite expensive.'

Upon hearing the price, Lin Feng curled his mouth.

After all, a cultivator who has just entered the Ying Tian Realm, refining day and night for a month, can produce at most ten drops of medium-grade spirit liquid.

Even a cultivator in the Heaven Tian Realm like him, refining nonstop for a month, yields only about fifty drops of medium-grade spirit liquid.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator refines for about a day and a half, then uses the remaining time for other matters.

Thus, the spirit liquid output must be halved.

Yet renting a Class A stall here for just a few days of the fair consumes nearly a month's worth of spirit liquid production from a Heaven Tian Realm cultivator!

However, considering how rare it is to encounter such a gathering of experts, he

Desiring to obtain the cultivation resources he needs from other cultivators, he flipped his palm and took out seven drops of thunder-attribute spirit liquid 'borrowed' from Xiao Jiu.

"These are eight drops of thunder‑attribute spirit liquid, equivalent to ten drops of the five‑element attribute spirit liquid; I think that's enough."

As he spoke, Lin Feng gave a gentle push, sending the seven drops of blue spirit liquid that flickered with lightning forward.

The man, hearing this, immediately extended his hand to make the spirit liquids hover, then drew in one drop for close inspection.

Immediately thereafter, within that drop he sensed a wildly violent thunder‑attribute energy.

Seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Enough, enough."

While speaking, he instantly turned to the woman beside him and said, "Stop standing there, quickly process the paperwork for this senior."

"Oh, okay."

The woman who had been curiously watching the spirit liquids was startled by his voice, instinctively nodded, and hurriedly bent down to pull a paper resembling a Blue Star land deed from beneath the counter.

She then produced her seal and stamped it heavily.

"Senior, this is proof of your stall rental, with the stall number on it. Take this proof, and you can locate the stall with the matching number inside the venue."

As she handed over the paper, the woman continued to explain.

Just as she finished, the man added, "Senior, before setting up your stall, you can go to the small auction hall at the deepest part of the venue to find the relevant staff and tell them the price you desire for the items you previously stored in our trading house, as well as your preferences for exchange items, when we later bring them out for trade."

"That way, it will be easier for you to trade for items you like."

"Hmm."

Hearing that, Lin Feng nodded, then took the paper the woman handed him and glanced at the center, which read "Class A No. 21" along with other details.

Seeing no problem, he immediately proceeded through the side passage into the venue.

After leaving the counter and walking a short distance, he passed through the temporary wooden wall and entered the actual trading hall.

Upon arriving, Lin Feng looked around; this luxurious hall, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, was now bustling with a massive crowd.

Moreover, the interior was divided into numerous individual spots.

At this moment, many of those spots already contained figures either standing or seated.

Looking at the items placed before them, it was clear these people had rented stalls to display the goods they wished to trade.

At the same time, Lin Feng surveyed the area and saw that many stalls had one or more figures standing in front of them.

He guessed those people had taken an interest in some stall owner's items and were now attempting to trade.

Continuing his gaze inward, Lin Feng immediately saw.

At the very back of the hall stood a wooden platform.

Obviously, that was the small auction hall the man at the counter had mentioned.

"Let's go inside there first and take a look."

After a moment of thought while standing still, Lin Feng decided to first check the inner auction hall.

He planned to wander from the inside out after the auction concluded.

As for setting up a stall, the trade fair lasts a full three days, so he wasn't in a hurry.

With that in mind, he promptly set foot toward the venue.

"However, some heavenly materials and earth treasures of the Baiyuan Continent are indeed similar to those of the Douqi Continent, only differing in appearance."

As he walked down the passage toward the interior, Lin Feng's eyes kept scanning the items displayed before the vendors on both sides, and he thought to himself with a hint of contemplation.

Then, shaking his head self‑deprecatingly, he thought, "Isn't that obvious? They're all sub‑continents of the Da Qian Shijie; although the uses and appearances of plants and living beings may differ, the origins of most things across worlds must be similar."

While walking, he soon came across some round crystal objects that shimmered with multicolored light in front of several vendors.

Within those round crystals, a fierce, wild primordial qi continuously radiated, unlike that of ordinary cultivators.

However, Lin Feng recognized the item—it was a Beast Pill from the body of a Primordial Beast on the Baiyuan Continent.

Previously, after subduing Lan Xiang, while he was refining his primordial qi hidden in a forest, he would occasionally go out to hunt Primordial Beasts.

Thus, he was no stranger to Beast Pills that originate from Primordial Beasts and are very similar to the Magic Cores of the Douqi Continent.

Of course, these Beast Pills not only resemble Magic Cores in appearance.

Their energetic properties are also almost identical.

For ordinary human cultivators of both realms, such items harvested from Primordial Beasts or Magic Beasts contain wildly violent energy that cannot be directly absorbed.

Consequently, Baiyuan Continent cultivators develop Beast Pills along the same path as Douqi cultivators, using them for alchemy, forging, and talisman crafting.

Thus, Beast Pills hold a status on the Baiyuan Continent that is no less than the Magic Cores of Douqi, and they are extremely popular on the market.

Especially high‑grade Beast Pills!

After all, many industries demand Beast Pills, and with the thriving Beast races on the Baiyuan Continent, their strength is by no means inferior to that of the human races.

Therefore, Beast Pills, which can only be obtained from Primordial Beasts, have a highly unstable yield and may be cut off at any time.

But the problem is that human demand for pills, talismans, and various implements does not diminish.

Faced with this situation, can Beast Pills not be popular? (End of chapter)
