Would that suffice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice, calm and unhurried, sounded beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Han Ya Shangren!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming looked at the green-robed youth beside him in surprise and sighed, “Daoist Han Ya, your treasures truly never cease—how can you even have a fourth-rank demon beast core? I am truly envious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren merely replied with casual ease: “Just relics left by my ancestors—I couldn’t possibly slay a fourth-rank demon saint myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming couldn’t help but sneer inwardly—another rich heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nan Mengli took the beast core, inspected it briefly, then smiled with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of all present, Han Ya Shangren calmly took possession of the Biling Xuan Robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shi Tian Rat blinked, whispering secretly to Han Ya Shangren: “Master Han Ya, you’re showing off too much—be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shangren’s face twitched slightly, yet remained unmoved: “Relax. After this alliance is sealed, the Alliance Leader has ordered a ceasefire—otherwise, I wouldn’t have revealed a fourth-rank demon beast core so openly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, now it’s this old woman’s turn,” said Long Mu Zhenjun, pulling out several long jade boxes. After opening them, she revealed a pure-white spiritual ginseng, a translucent ice-blue herb emitting a blue flame, and a green spiritual fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A four-thousand-five-hundred-year Ziyou Snow Ginseng, a three-thousand-year Bingyan Herb, a three-thousand-two-hundred-year Tianchan Spiritual Fruit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These three fourth-rank spiritual plants are to be exchanged for Qingkong Spirit Soil, or equivalent spiritual items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her treasures appeared, they drew considerable attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three materials are highly useful to Nascent Soul cultivators, whether for alchemy or talisman crafting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming instinctively glanced at Han Ya Shangren—the fellow clearly still had more hidden treasures, and now looked eager to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after internal struggle, he ultimately held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps reminded by the Shi Tian Rat, showing off too much was never wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This humble Daoist will trade with Daoist Long Mu—I happen to have some Qingkong Spirit Soil, though not much,” said the Huang-named hermit, immediately offering a jade box to Long Mu Zhenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Mu Zhenjun took it, glanced inside, her expression brightening slightly, then turning slightly regretful: “It is indeed Qingkong Spirit Soil—but the quantity is insufficient; only enough for one item. What do you say, Huang Daoist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll take the Bingyan Herb,” said the Huang-named hermit calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused others to glance at the Huang-named hermit with renewed interest—no one expected such an obscure cultivator to possess treasure after treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuán Xiāo, the Third Prince of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, waved his hand and produced two jade boxes. When opened, a thick aura of demonic energy surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were two fourth-rank demon beast cores—one blue, one purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two fourth-rank early-stage demon beast cores are to be exchanged for items of equal value.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or you may pay in superior spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two cores appeared, the Nascent Soul cultivators erupted in murmurs, whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their level, spirit stones were rarely used in trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk tsk—never thought the sea clans weren’t united after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They kill their own kind without mercy,” Han Ya Shangren whispered secretly to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the sea clans’ spirit stone reserves are far poorer than those of the human realm—that’s why they’re offering spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Dao You , this is a rare chance! Once this passes, where else will you find fourth-rank demon beast cores for sale with spirit stones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply interested in the two demon beast cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since they could be bought with spirit stones, all Nascent Soul cultivators immediately began bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twelve thousand superior spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifteen thousand superior spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I offer twenty thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-two thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-five thousand!” said Guang Lingzi of the Xuanming Palace, his expression proud, as if determined to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beihan cultivation world’s resources were abundant, especially with countless rare spirit mines—hence their wealth and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-eight thousand superior spirit stones, plus one Yunying Fruit,” Qin Ming said calmly. After hearing his bid, Guang Lingzi hesitated several times, then ultimately gave up competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely gave Qin Ming a deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected Qin Dao You  to possess even a Yunying Fruit—congratulations,” Guang Lingzi muttered bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the name Yunying Fruit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuán Xiāo’s golden eyes instantly brightened. “Then these two cores are yours, Qin Dao You .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately handed over the spirit stones and the Yunying Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stowed away the two fourth-rank demon beast cores, a quiet thrill stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these two cores, he could brew many elixirs and spiritual wines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul exchange meeting lasted a full day before ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time ran out, Zhiyang Shangren stood and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, the exchanges among you all have progressed well. Our alliance has prepared three treasures for you as a final bonus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, three jade boxes floated into midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shangren flicked his finger, opening one box to reveal a spiritual pill Qin Ming recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ningying Pill!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Nascent Soul elders perked up—such strategic-grade pills rarely surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, at this Immortal Mansion gathering, the Star Palace had actually produced one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, though the Ningying Pill grants only a thirty-percent chance of Nascent Soul formation, this ancient wonder is exceedingly rare even within Nascent Soul sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, its required ingredients are nearly impossible to gather, demanding extremely high ages; second, only a handful of Dan Masters can brew it successfully—and even then, the failure rate is absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Nascent Soul sects before you now obtain their Qi-Condensation Pills through ancient inheritance or from hidden realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pill used is one less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Soul Transformation sects control the alchemists capable of refining Qi-Condensation Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Qi-Condensation Pills carry a certain probability of spurring a Nascent Soul cultivator, greatly strengthening a sect’s power—its significance is self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators began bidding, the scene fiercely heated, nearly descending into bloody brawls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Tianji Zi of the Western You cultivation realm acquired this Qi-Condensation Pill at an exorbitant price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had no interest in the Qi-Condensation Pill; his Inner Spirit Realm already held ample spirit materials for elixir refining—he could produce them anytime he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren opened the second item and said, “The second item is a fourth-rank inferior magic treasure, the Spirit-Imprisoning Ring, forged in imitation of the ancient treasure, the Five Elements Ring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Five Elements Ring?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An imitation of an ancient treasure?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fully ignited the purchasing desire of the Nascent Soul elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition in the hall surged higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming remained uninterested; this binding treasure paled in comparison to the Blood Spirit Cage he had seized from the Blood Annoyance Demon Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he himself possessed a true ancient treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fierce bidding, the imitation ancient treasure, the Spirit-Imprisoning Ring, was won by Longmu Zhenjun in exchange for a vial of Qingxu Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren had merely intended to stir excitement at the gathering, yet he had gained such a windfall—he could not help but reveal a rare smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasted no more words and opened the final treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final item is a high-rank sword art scripture, the Qianyuan Sword Array. It requires a complete set of spirit swords to form the array. If perfected, its sword technique becomes peerless, and the scripture forms a complete system—beyond the array, it allows continuous cultivation up to the Soul Transformation realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall erupted again, and fierce bidding commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming’s expression remained calm; he had little interest in this scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Han Ya Shiren frowned and asked, “Qin Dao You , are you truly uninterested in such a scripture and treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh! I’ve already exchanged several treasures. My pouch is now empty,” Qin Ming replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Ya Shiren looked skeptical—he clearly did not believe this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complete high-rank technique held a deadly allure for these Nascent Soul elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sword art scripture was won by Guangling Zi of the Xuanming Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the final treasure sold, the Nascent Soul cultivators’ exchange gathering came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All present had gained something, large or small, and their faces glowed with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, this exchange gathering is concluded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the next half-month, disciples of all factions will engage in combat exchanges. Our Alliance and the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace have prepared generous rewards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These include Golden Core elixirs and Qi-Condensation spirit items. You may all remain on the island longer to witness the young talents of today’s cultivation world—something unseen in a century.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meanwhile, independent cultivation chambers have been arranged for you all on Longyuan Island, serene and tranquil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators in Longyuan Hall dispersed, many elders exchanging words with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Nascent Soul cultivators approached Qin Ming, expressing their desire to befriend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He politely responded to each one in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then prepared to leave with Han Ya Shiren, Longmu Zhenjun, and others, seeking a quiet place to catch up and share wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren walked over and said to Qin Ming:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Dao You , stay behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a few words to speak with you alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the other Nascent Soul elders all turned their heads, curiosity plainly etched on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All wondered: what could the Sixth Elder of Xingchen Palace—the undisputed top figure beneath Nascent Soul Late Stage—possibly want with this newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming halted his steps; he had already guessed the reason—likely what Zhiyang Shiren had hinted at earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to take him to select treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he followed Zhiyang Shiren, leaving Han Ya Shiren and the others stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren led him through layers of intricate arrays, finally arriving at an unremarkable pavilion on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then withdrew an ancient dragon-patterned token and activated the array within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—suddenly, Qin Ming found himself deep within a shimmering underwater world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he arrived at a treasure vault hidden beneath the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place, no doubt, was the Tianhai Alliance’s secret treasure vault, its exact location unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiyang Shiren walked as he spoke: “I never expected you, Qin Dao You , to ascend to Nascent Soul in just over two hundred years—and your strength is immeasurable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You single-handedly slew the Blood Annoyance True Person of the Blood Refining Demon Sect—proof of your extraordinary technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard of this Demon Lord before.
