Chapter 190: A Great Earthquake in the Tiannan Cultivation World
"You don't need to ask about this, Ruyin; I naturally have my own methods. With so many High-grade Gold Attribute Spirit Stones, we should be able to perform a few more transmissions, right?"
Yan Taibai smiled slightly, then shifted the topic to the Transmission Array outside the Falling Demon Valley.
"With so many High-grade Gold Attribute Spirit Stones, there would be no problem even if we transmitted every Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World into the Falling Demon Valley. However, if we do that, the value of the Falling Demon Valley Tokens will not be very high."
Xin Ruyin nodded slightly, then added with some concern.
"Rest assured, I won't be making many more Falling Demon Valley Tokens, at least not for the time being. However, to auction off this batch of Falling Demon Valley Tokens, we still need to hold a large-scale auction. Besides, it just so happens that I can also look for the materials your master, Senior Dayan Shenjun, needs to refine a Nascent Soul Late Stage Puppet."
Yan Taibai continued, "If that is the case, this younger sister actually has a good idea. I wonder what Brother Yan thinks?"
Hearing this, Xin Ruyin looked thoughtful, as if she had thought of something.
"What idea? Ruyin, just go ahead and say it."
Seeing this, Yan Taibai smiled.
"Brother Yan, do you still remember the Tiannan Cultivation World's First Trading Assembly? Calculating the time, it seems to be around this period. Even if we advance it by a period of time, there shouldn't be any problem. However, if you want to advance it, I'm afraid it will require Brother Yan to speak up personally."
Xin Ruyin stated her idea.
"The Tiannan Cultivation World's First Trading Assembly—that is indeed a good idea. Moreover, Ruyin, what you said is quite right. With my current status, even if I convene it early, no one will have any objections."
"Good, then let's do it that way. Leave the two fellow daoists of the Mingluan Sect, Long Han and Feng Bing, to me. As for Fellow Daoist Wei Wuya of the Nine Nations Alliance, I will leave it to Master to make a trip. As for the Righteous and Demon paths, just send someone to notify them."
Yan Taibai thought for a moment, nodded, and made the arrangements.
"However, Brother Yan, have you chosen the location for the auction? We must not let any mistakes occur. In the past, it was always the Righteous and Demon paths, but that won't work this time. As for our Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Righteous and Demon paths might not feel at ease, and I estimate not many Nascent Soul cultivators will come. Therefore, this younger sister feels the Nine Nations Alliance is a good place."
Xin Ruyin also pondered for a moment and offered her suggestion.
"The Nine Nations Alliance—Ruyin, you are right. Then let's choose the Nine Nations Alliance as the place for the trading assembly. As for the specific location, let's choose Tiantian City of the Nine Nations Alliance! That is the only city of cultivators in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World; it is indeed an excellent place."
Yan Taibai recalled that the city where the original trading assembly was held was precisely Tiantian City of the Nine Nations Alliance.
"Tiantian City, that's good. This younger sister went there a few years ago to look for some materials; it is truly excellent."
After hearing Yan Taibai's words, Xin Ruyin also smiled brightly and agreed.
"Alright, then it's settled. I'll head to the Mingluan Sect."
Yan Taibai also nodded and arranged.
"Good, I will go speak to Uncle Qiong."
Xin Ruyin also volunteered.
After all, this was also to find materials for Dayan Shenjun to refine a Nascent Soul Late Stage Puppet.
She naturally had to do her best.
"Alright, then I'll leave Master to you, and I will make a trip to the Mingluan Sect."
Yan Taibai nodded with a smile. Afterward, he stood up and left directly.
Currently, in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, besides the Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage Wei Wuya, only Long Han and Feng Bing could be considered Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage.
For an event like the Tiannan Cultivation World's First Trading Assembly, if one wants to convene it early, one naturally has to discuss it with the two of them.
With Yan Taibai's current status, position, divine abilities, and strength, as long as he spoke up, he believed neither of them would object.
Regarding this, both Yan Taibai and Xin Ruyin had sufficient confidence.
As the Mingluan Sect was the second-largest sect in the Heavenly Dao Alliance after the Yanyue Sect, and a sect that possessed Long Han and Feng Bing—who were equivalent to one Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage when joining forces—its status was naturally extraordinary.
The place where it was located was precisely the famous Long Shan and Feng Gu of the Tiannan Cultivation World.
Long Shan was over a hundred thousand miles away, and there was not just one Feng Gu, but nine of them, each possessing a high-quality Spirit Eye Spring, or even what could be called a Spirit Eye Pool, making countless sects in the Tiannan Cultivation World envious.
It was even more enviable than the Holy Tree and Spirit Eye Tree of the Yunmeng Three Sects.
The entire Mingluan Sect had over a hundred thousand disciples, enough to rank in the top five of the entire Tiannan Cultivation World.
If it weren't for the fact that the Yanyue Sect had a number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World like Yan Taibai, it would not be comparable to the Mingluan Sect at all.
Although both sects were famous dual-cultivation sects in the Tiannan Cultivation World.
But even the source of the Yanyue Sect, the Hehuan Sect, could hardly be said to be able to surpass the Mingluan Sect by much.
Not to mention a mere branch sect like the Yanyue Sect.
As for the arrival of Yan Taibai, the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, the entire Mingluan Sect was both shocked and delighted.
Immortal music played in unison!
Immortal maidens came to welcome him...
They had brought out the most grand welcoming ceremony in the entire history of the sect, fearing that Yan Taibai might have the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, Yan Taibai's murderous nature was truly too heavy, and the Mingluan Sect naturally could not withstand Yan Taibai's fury, so they could only present their best attitude.
Yan Taibai also saw the main hall of the Mingluan Sect, which was carved entirely from warm jade, crystal clear and translucent like a crystal palace, which made his eyes light up. Most importantly, the interior space, perhaps due to the Restriction of the array, was significantly larger than it appeared from the outside.
After the host and guest were seated, Yan Taibai directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Falling Demon Valley Token, to open the Tiannan Cultivation World's First Trading Assembly early?"
After hearing Yan Taibai's words, Feng Bing frowned slightly and said.
"That's right, which is why Yan has come specifically to discuss it with you two fellow daoists."
Yan Taibai's face held a smile, trying his best to appear amiable.
"My husband and I, as well as the Mingluan Sect, have no objections to this matter. We can agree, but Brother Yan, have you chosen the specific location?"
Long Han also smiled slightly and asked. He also understood that while Yan Taibai claimed to be discussing it with them, in reality, he was just notifying them. Whether they agreed or not would not change anything, and might instead offend Yan Taibai, so naturally, there would be no objections.
"I have already chosen this; it is precisely Tiantian City of the Nine Nations Alliance, this city of cultivators. Otherwise, whether it were in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Righteous Alliance, or Tianluo Country, fellow daoists would worry about their safety and would not come. Therefore, to ensure everything is foolproof, Tiantian City of the Nine Nations Alliance is undoubtedly the best choice. What do you two fellow daoists think of this suggestion?"
Yan Taibai said with a smile, speaking eloquently.
"Not bad, Tiantian City of the Nine Nations Alliance is indeed the best place. Brother Yan truly has eyes like torches."
Long Han nodded in agreement, while also praising Yan Taibai.
"Fellow Daoist Long Han is joking. Then I will trouble you two fellow daoists to notify the other fellow daoists in the Tiannan Cultivation World. Yan still needs to go resolve other matters."
Yan Taibai's face showed a bit more of a smile.
If not for this, he would not have come to Mingluan Sect to find the two, Long Han and Feng Bing.
"Fine, this is naturally not a problem."
Long Han nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed the details regarding the first major trading assembly of the Tiannan Cultivation World.
There was no help for it; who else but the Heavenly Dao Alliance was currently the greatest power in the Tiannan Cultivation World, and the three of them happened to be the three Alliance Leaders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
This matter was naturally best left to the three of them. An hour later, Yan Taibai left Mingluan Sect; he did not return to Yanyue Sect, but instead prepared to wander around the Tiannan Cultivation World for a period of time.
In any case, the matter of the first major trading assembly of the Tiannan Cultivation World had already been handed over to Long Han and Feng Bing to handle, so he naturally did not need to worry about it anymore.
And besides Falling Demon Valley, the Tiannan Cultivation World naturally did not lack other desperate lands, treasure lands, and forbidden grounds, so going to take a look would not be bad.
Who else but him had such strength and divine abilities placed here; he naturally did not need to worry about anything.
What's more, he did indeed need quite a few materials, so it was just right to resolve that all at once.
As for the matter of the first major trading assembly of the Tiannan Cultivation World, leaving it to Long Han and Feng Bing was enough.
Just like that, Yan Taibai began to wander and stroll through the various countries and regions of the Tiannan Cultivation World.
And the fact that the first major trading assembly of the Tiannan Cultivation World was being held early, especially because of Yan Taibai, directly triggered a not-so-small earthquake throughout the entire Tiannan Cultivation World.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators suspected that Yan Taibai was trying to take the opportunity to unify the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, just like the Spirit Severing Stage cultivator from ten thousand years ago, to establish a great Tiannan Empire.
But this rumor quickly vanished into thin air, because the sect that started the rumor simply ceased to exist.
As for who did it, it naturally goes without saying, and no one dared to say anything more.
Yan Taibai, meanwhile, continued to appear in various places across the Tiannan Cultivation World; sometimes he caused quite a stir and was noticed by people, while other times no one knew they had met, or perhaps even spoken or traded something with Yan Taibai, the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World.
It could be said that Yan Taibai was both high-profile and low-profile; it just depended on whether one noticed him.
However, because the first major trading assembly of the Tiannan Cultivation World was being held early, even though Yan Taibai had been prepared for a long time and Long Han and Feng Bing had told him, the time was still a bit late.
Fortunately, he was not too anxious, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
And on this day, while Yan Taibai was strolling through Yuanwu Country, two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators appeared by his side.
And they were two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with not-so-good reputations.
The three of them together made people shudder; as for the reason, it was naturally because of the appearance of the three of them.
One wore a high cap and hemp clothes, was short and fat, looking like a big meatball; another was bald and barefoot, with bull-like eyes and bulging muscles, standing a zhang tall; the last one had a handsome face but was filled with a murderous aura, making him the one people dared not look at directly.
On this day, with the other two leading the way, Yan Taibai arrived at a quiet and deserted small mountain in Yuanwu Country.
"Brother Yan, do you see that? The scenery of that mountain is truly not bad. Let's go take a look!"
The leader of the notorious Peng Shi Shuang Mo in Yuanwu Country spoke up to invite and introduce.
Regarding this, Yan Taibai only sneered; after all, he had not expected to encounter these two.
However, since he had encountered them, he would just consider it doing a good deed.
"Not bad, the scenery here is indeed not bad, and no one will come here; it is truly not bad. If one were to kill and silence someone here, it would be an excellent place to destroy the body and erase all traces, and one would not be discovered or disturbed."
After looking around, Yan Taibai's patience was also exhausted, and he said it straight.
"Brother Yan, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you think we two have ill intentions?"
The leader of the Peng Shi Shuang Mo's face sank, and he said coldly and with dissatisfaction.
"Ill intentions? You two brothers of the Peng Shi Shuang Mo would have good intentions?"
Yan Taibai feigned surprise.
"Fine, since you already know the identities of us two brothers, will you obediently hand over the treasures on your person, or shall we two brothers send you on your way? Do not think that just because you have a few Top-tier Magical Tools, you are a match for us two brothers."
The leader of the Peng Shi Shuang Mo said fiercely and viciously.
"Truly two fellows who do not know how to die; just two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and they actually want the treasures on a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator. They really do not know how to die!"
Suddenly, a light, silver-bell-like laugh, sounding like a young girl, rang out.
"What? You said he is a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator?"
Hearing this, the two brothers of the Peng Shi Shuang Mo were greatly alarmed, their faces turning pale.
"Impossible, impossible, this must be you playing tricks, just wanting to save your life."
"Whether it is or not, Fellow Daoist, come out, and they will believe it."
Seeing this scene, Yan Taibai chuckled and spoke.
"Not bad, what Fellow Daoist said is also true. Since they do not believe it, then this Old Granny will come out and let them see, and they will believe it."
The young girl-like voice sounded again; before the words echoing Yan Taibai's had finished, a small tree not far away flashed with green light, shrank and transformed, directly turning into a small person only half a foot tall.
This small person had delicate features, slightly long hair, and a body of green light, looking as if they were stark naked. The young girl's voice came precisely from this small person's mouth.
"Nas... Nascent Soul cultivator!"
The Peng Shi Shuang Mo's faces had no color left, and they said in great alarm, fear, and terror.
"Senior, spare my life!"
The other short, fat cultivator, upon seeing the small person, immediately begged for mercy desperately, while his meatball-like body bounced up, looking like he wanted to flee far away.
"Hehe, borrowing your essence soul for a moment."
The small person gave a strange laugh, then turned into a ball of green light, shot directly into the short, fat cultivator's body, and then instantly escaped, transforming back into human form; only, on their small hand, there was an extra green ball of light the size of a thumb, flickering on and off incessantly.
Then, they swallowed it in one gulp; this scene scared the other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator so much that his liver and gallbladder split, and he had no life left in him.
He was scared to death on the spot!
"Just died like that!"
The small person blinked, saying with surprise and regret.
"The essence soul hasn't dissipated yet; it should still be consumable."
Yan Taibai chuckled and reminded them.
"Yo, you are actually not afraid, not worried that this Old Granny will also eat your Nascent Soul?"
The tiny figure said in surprise.
"Swallow and eat my Nascent Soul? It seems you don't know who I am."
Yan Taibai laughed, as if he had heard some utterly ridiculous joke.
"Who are you?"
The tiny figure frowned and asked in pursuit.
"Who am I? I am the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World. However, how did you manage to escape? You shouldn't have been able to get out this quickly, right?"
Yan Taibai also said, feeling puzzled.
