Translation: Many people then bid, and after completing the exchange smoothly and swiftly, another person came to the turtle's head.

The surging demonic aura showed no concealment; this person is actually a great demon who has taken human form.

【241】

This transformed great demon suddenly produced dozens of materials or treasures, drawing many people's covert astonishment.

【243】

And this is the survival method for most cultivators and demons.

【245】

Survival of the fittest is fundamentally the most basic and fundamental law of this world.

【247】

The entire exchange meeting thus gradually became smoother.

【249】

After waiting a long time, it finally became Yunhe's turn.

【251】

Flying up to the Ao's head, after looking around, he smiled slightly, lightly tapped his storage bag, and took out many things.

【253】

Because many people had already produced many items earlier, Yunhe's sudden production of so many treasures attracted attention but did not cause much disturbance.

【255】

This is quite normal.

【257】

Actually, among the treasures Yunhe produced, there is the Yin-Yang Double Bell from Ancestor Supreme Joy; once this item appears, anyone who knows Ancestor Supreme Joy and the Old Devil Yun can almost certainly guess his identity.

【259】

After all, he came together with the Dustless Monk and two others; if anyone truly noticed him, a brief investigation after the exchange could reveal his identity.

【261】

Although the Spirit Grain Pill he produced cannot be considered a fourth-tier pill, it can benefit early Nascent Soul cultivators, making it one of quite distinctive items.

【263】

"I wish to exchange fourth-tier metal-type demon beast essence blood, at least one bottle. The Phoenix Clan's feathers, Heavenly Fragrant Grass, Heaven-lock Purple Cold Crystal, or Void Essence, depending on quantity."

【265】

As for the fourth-tier metal-type demon beast's essence blood and the Phoenix Clan's feathers, though they are also very precious, in this exchange they are merely normal trade items.

【267】

""Void Essence" need not be mentioned further; it is almost something only heard of, never seen as an actual object, and even some Nascent Soul cultivators present have never heard its name, showing how precious it is."

【269】

Moreover, even the Bai Xiao Tower cannot find it quickly, further showing its rarity.

【271】

A voice full of contempt and mockery suddenly rang out, not only directly exposing Yunhe's identity but also openly mocking his desired trade items.

【273】

Hum——

【275】

Since his identity has been exposed, Yunhe simply stops concealing it.

【277】

"I say those few treasures look somewhat familiar; I suppose they must be Ancestor Supreme Joy's Yin-Yang Double Bell."

「. 」

【280】

After all, judging by Yunhe's current strength alone, he is comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the identity he represents is even more extraordinary.

【282】

It is said that Yunhe has a close relationship with the leader of the Implement Alliance, the Formless Sword Sect, especially the Formless Sword Lord.

【284】

Yunhe also returned a smile and a bow to all around; finally his gaze fell upon the arrogant Qingqing, and he said with a smile:

【286】

Qingqing, seated on the high platform, bore a bold and expansive demeanor; upon hearing Yunhe's question, his expression stiffened slightly.

【288】

But it lacks the Heaven-lock Purple Cold Crystal and Void Essence; however, it does have the other items.

【290】

"Oh?" Yunhe narrowed his eyes, "What do you possess, friend?"

【292】

"You want the metal-type demon beast essence blood and Heavenly Fragrant Grass; I have both. However, the things you produced, the fourth-tier demon beast's inner core is useless to me, the treasures are not bad, but I also do not need your human cultivator treasures; this pill is also useful to human cultivators, only those few fourth-tier spirit talismans are not bad, unfortunately the quantity is too little."

【294】

Yunhe's eyes brightened slightly, showing some surprise.

【296】

Moreover, Heavenly Fragrant Grass assists the Black Crystal Divine Sapling, enabling his original spiritual root quality to improve.

【298】

But Yunhe soon suppressed his eager expression, merely asking with interest:

I don't know, Fellow Daoist Qingqing, how many talismans Fellow Daoist Yun thinks he needs to exchange for the item in your hand?

Qingqing hadn't expected Yunhe to ask that, but after a moment's thought he still said, "At least forty sheets!"

Deal!
