Chapter 222: A Special Space Trading Fair

After the turmoil of the city being slaughtered had temporarily come to an end, Xiao Han had originally thought he could have some free time. Just as he was planning to have a good rest, the arrival of a piece of news caught his attention.

"Space Trading Fair?" Xiao Han rubbed his chin and said, looking slightly strange.

"This kind of thing shouldn't require me to participate in person, right?"

As the highest-standard trading venue in the Central Plains, Xiao Han was of course extremely clear about what the Space Trading Fair was, but he had not attended it many times.

The foundation of Langya Pavilion was too shallow. Back then, it was only when Xiao Han had first founded Langya Pavilion and was honored by people as "Ice Venerable" that he had received an invitation to go.

But he had only attended once before falling into a secret realm, and Langya Pavilion's influence had greatly diminished due to Xiao Han's disappearance, after which it began to actively consolidate its forces.

Therefore, since then, Langya Pavilion had never received an invitation to the Space Trading Fair, until Xiao Han returned to Langya Pavilion and revealed the strength of a Dou Sheng, only then did it receive an invitation again, and the number of invitations was not small.

But at this time, the three of Xiao Han had already lost interest in the Space Trading Fair, so they simply released the invitations for the Space Trading Fair, treating them as contribution rewards for Langya Pavilion; any Langya Pavilion expert at the Dou Zun level or above whose authority and contributions met the requirements would get them on a first-come, first-served basis.

Xiao Han had never set foot in the venue of the Space Trading Fair in these few decades. He looked at Yi Huang, whose eyes were flashing with brilliance in front of him, and seemed to have guessed something.

He asked curiously: "What good things are at this Space Trading Fair?"

The Space Trading Fair was just the top auction on the continent, but as long as it was an auction, some highly valuable auction items would naturally be leaked in advance, with the intention of attracting more people to come and reap greater profits.

Seeing Yi Huang behave this way, it was eighty percent likely that the gains were not small, or the combat power required was not weak, so she had sought out him, an expert who was idling at home.

A joyful smile bloomed on the corners of Yi Huang's mouth, "Exotic Fire!"

"Exotic Fire!" Xiao Han exclaimed. It was his first time seeing someone dare to auction an Exotic Fire.

One had to know that the rarity and power of such a Heaven and Earth Exotic Item as an Exotic Fire were self-evident; just this gimmick alone could attract a large crowd of Alchemists to go and bid.

Although Xiao Han could not use an Exotic Fire, he certainly could not miss out on something that could enhance the strength and foundation of Langya Pavilion.

But he thought about it again: even if a regular Exotic Fire was precious, sending an Elder of Langya Pavilion plus a team of Langya Guard would be enough to handle the situation.

When the time came, it would just be a matter of competing with money; if the money wasn't enough, just snatch it. If that really didn't work, sending a Guest Elder at the Half-Saint realm to provide escort would suffice; it wouldn't reach the point where he needed to take action!

For a Dou Sheng to snatch things with a group of Dou Zuns, wouldn't that be beneath his status?

Yi Huang showed a bitter smile, "If things were really that simple, it would be easy to handle."

She also wanted to solve the problem simply. In terms of financial resources, Langya Pavilion was estimated to be only a notch behind the Pill Tower; after all, their profession was more profitable than mining.

But Langya Pavilion could still catch up a little if they worked hard.

But reality didn't allow it!

Seeing Yi Huang's bitterness, Xiao Han revealed an interested expression:

"Then what kind of Exotic Fire is it, that it could make our Pavilion Master Yi Huang so troubled?"

"Tenth on the Exotic Fire Ranking, Nine Nether Wind Flame!"

"How is that possible!" Xiao Han said in shock, "Isn't that the inherited Exotic Fire of the Yao Clan?"

My god, Xiao Han admired in his heart that fellow who dared to auction the Nine Nether Wind Flame, as well as the three host sects of the Space Trading Fair. They were truly not afraid of being hunted down and silenced by the Ancient Race!

"What are you thinking about!" Yi Huang rolled her eyes at Xiao Han. How did this guy suddenly become stupid!

"You don't even think about it, if it really were that Nine Nether Wind Flame inherited by the Yao Clan, would the Space Trading Fair dare to take it out for auction?"

No matter how high the standard of the Space Trading Fair was, if they encountered an unreasonable Ancient Race, they would be finished all the same. How could those shrewd people have the guts to do that?

Xiao Han also knew he had been foolish just now, and his mouth curled open, "To think there would be a second Nine Nether Wind Flame, it really is an eye-opener!"

Except for the Life Flame, the ranking of an Exotic Fire largely reflected its power, and there were three grades of Exotic Fires.

The top three, the top five, the top ten, and other Exotic Fires.

Although in the original work, the top ten Exotic Fires were almost all mastered by the younger generation, that did not mean these Exotic Fires were not valuable.

On the contrary, it was precisely because the top ten Exotic Fires were rare enough that they would be handed over to those key cultivation targets of the Ancient Race.

In fact, as the tenth-ranked Exotic Fire, the Nine Nether Wind Flame was already worth a Saint Realm expert making a trip.

What Xiao Han did not know was that the three organizers of the Space Trading Fair had considered the threat of the Yao Clan, which was why they had spread the news of the Nine Nether Wind Flame appearing at the auction to the Central Plains so early.

Otherwise, they were worried that one day a bolt of heavenly lightning would strike down, a mountain fire would descend, and their sect would be gone just like that.

However, Xiao Han soon frowned, "How many factions has this Nine Nether Wind Flame attracted?"

A top-ten Exotic Fire was not something that could be finished just by subduing it; to a large extent, it required the protection of strength.

Except for Xiao Yan, he had the protagonist's halo plus a girlfriend from the Ancient Clan covering him!

Besides the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame that was free-roaming and sealed in the Demon Fire Space, the Life Flame in the hands of the Five-Star Dou Sheng Shennong Elder, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame sealed in the Pill Tower, the other top ten Exotic Fires were all under the control of the Ancient Race.

Even those top ten Exotic Fires that did not belong to the Ancient Race were controlled by a powerful faction or expert.

Now, another top-ten Exotic Fire had appeared; if one said that many experts were not interested, how could that be possible!

Yi Huang was clearly prepared and quickly reeled off a long list of faction names: "The Central Plains factions include the Pill Tower, Burning Flame Valley, and Flower Sect...

Among the Ancient Eight Clans, all except the Ling and Shi clans have sent personnel."

After listening to Yi Huang's narration, Xiao Han's brows knitted into a '#' shape; he had still underestimated the appeal of the Nine Nether Wind Flame!

But one could also see that these factions in the Central Plains still had some sense; the weakest sect that dared to covet the Nine Nether Wind Flame had at least one Half-Saint sitting in command.

Yi Huang continued to add: "The most threatening factions among them are the Pill Tower, the Yao Clan, as well as the Soul Clan and Ancient Clan, these four parties."

Xiao Han understood; the others didn't have enough strength. The above factions were the ones with money and the ability to fight, which was why they dared to step onto this battlefield.

The Pill Tower went without saying; Alchemists were rich. They wanted an Exotic Fire, and their own Three Thousand Burning Flame could not be subdued and carried the risk of causing trouble; now that they had finally encountered one with a decent ranking, they naturally had to pocket it.

The Ancient and Soul clans were the same; Exotic Fire, who didn't want it? Both families were big and wealthy, they didn't lack this bit of money. As for strength...

Which great god would dare to compete with them in strength?

As for the other Ancient clans, they were either incompatible with the Exotic Fire or had enough of them, so there was no need to waste extra effort; most were holding an attitude of watching the show.

At this time, Yi Huang added with a smile: "The Yao Clan has even spread the word..."

"Oh?" Xiao Han said amusedly, "What did those masters say?"

Xiao Han completely despised those pedantic old monsters of the Yao Clan, so naturally, there was not much respect in his words.

Yi Huang mimicked them vividly: "The Nine Nether Wind Flame is the inherited Exotic Fire of my Yao Clan; miscellaneous people are not allowed to covet it."

"Pfft!" Xiao Han sneered, "They really think highly of themselves!"

Not a single force daring to compete would fear a Yao Clan nearing its twilight; such a threat is completely pale and powerless.

"I just want to collect a pair!" Yi Huang laughed.

After the joking was over, Xiao Han's expression immediately turned serious, "I will go to this Space Trading Fair in person!"

Xiao Han estimated that he was not the only one thinking this way; the battle for the Nine Nether Wind Flame at this Space Trading Fair would definitely be a clash of titans, where no one below the Saint Realm would be qualified to participate, and without some strength to rely on, even with a powerful background, one would still be walking a path to death.

"Mm!" Yi Huang handed a blood-red Jade Slip to Xiao Han, not worried at all that the latter might encounter an accident.

The question she was more concerned about now was, after the Nine Nether Wind Flame was brought back, who should it be given to?
