Chapter 2709

Sixty-third: Trading and Teaching How to Behave

The Empty Seat Banquet became a bit quiet. The person sitting on seat No. 3 didn't speak. The tattered hood completely covered his face. The only thing known was that this person was very old.

"Immortal Old Man, what did you swallow again? The aura is strange, the darkness is too strong."

Saintess Seat sat obliquely on the wide seat with bare feet, looking up and down at the Immortal Old Man.

"Swallowed, the one who often finds trouble with me, an Ancient God."

The Immortal Old Man's voice was hollow, as if two layers of voices were overlapping. Strangely, he didn't give people too strong malice.

Su Xiao had certainly heard of the Immortal Old Man of the Void. It was said that this old guy was almost immortal. A thousand years ago, he even found a Law-Breaker, took out a large sum of remuneration, and asked that Law-Breaker to kill him so that he could sleep forever.

The result was that the Law-Breaker couldn't kill the Immortal Old Man. He tried many methods and all failed. Since then, the Immortal Old Man embarked on the path of finding a way to sleep forever, until he joined the Empty Seat Banquet and the leader told him about the existence of primitive worlds.

The Immortal Old Man didn't care at first. He had been to every place in the Void. He just wanted to find a place to sleep. Since a long time ago, he had lost all abilities related to this, such as sleep, hibernation, etc. He was exhausted to the extreme, but couldn't sleep. He was hungry, but everything he ate turned into ashes in his belly and was spat out by him again.

This was the curse of immortality, a curse from the unknown. Sometimes, immortality was also a kind of torture.

After the Immortal Old Man entered a primitive world that didn't belong to any paradise through the leader's method, he fell into a coma directly and slept for several years before waking up.

The hunger in his belly drove him to find food. After he tore off a piece of tree bark and chewed it in his mouth, he no longer sought eternal sleep, but wanted to find the source of the curse. In the primitive world, his curse was significantly suppressed.

"Your aura is becoming more and more fresh. When I first saw you, I thought you were from the Undead race."

White Bull exerted his 'humor'. Just now, the Immortal Old Man could be considered to have given him a favor; otherwise, Nairo would have been swallowed by the Immortal Old Man instantly.

White Bull's purpose in bringing Nairo to the Empty Seat Banquet was very simple. Nairo was very talented. No, she was a top genius, a leader among her peers since childhood.

Due to the flattery of White Bull's subordinates, this 17-year-old girl was almost flying. Saying she was arrogant was not an exaggeration. Except for White Bull, she wasn't afraid of anyone. Plus, White Bull had a younger sister who doted on Nairo. Whoever dared to touch Nairo, White Bull's fierce younger sister would be furious to the extreme, which gave White Bull a headache.

In White Bull's view, at Nairo's age, she could already wander in the Void independently. Flowers in a greenhouse had no qualification to inherit his position.

But with Nairo's current personality, letting her go out to wander would sooner or later lead to her death due to arrogance. Therefore, White Bull chose to bring her to the Starry Sky Seat. Compared to dying in the hands of outsiders, being educated by his own people first was obviously a better choice. The Starry Sky Seat was never short of villains.

White Bull had three targets: Su Xiao, who was full of blood energy, the Blade Demon, whose killing intent was pitch black, and the Immortal Old Man, who was like an abyss.

As long as Nairo perceived one of them, she wouldn't say she would be left with a shadow, but she would also be afraid for a long time and understand a truth: in the Void, there were many people who could crush her to death at will. White Bull wouldn't protect her in the future.

As for not perceiving? It didn't matter at all. White Bull had already greeted them.

From Nairo's dazed gaze, it could be seen that if White Bull didn't make a move, she wouldn't be able to break free from the Immortal Old Man's terrifying aura within a few months.

"Is this okay? She's almost immersed in her own consciousness space. It would be bad if she became timid."

Saintess Seat looked at Nairo. At this time, this girl was already standing there motionless, her eyes dull.

"Nairo is too proud. Letting her know how dangerous the outside world is, this is good. Sorry for delaying everyone's time. Also, Immortal, thank you."

"Just a... small effort."

The Immortal Old Man's face under the hood seemed to smile. At this moment, the black mist figure tapped the stone table, attracting everyone's gaze.

"Then everyone, this Empty Seat Banquet begins. According to the convention, first state everyone's needs. Saintess Seat hopes to get 'Starry Sky Inscription', White Bull needs 'Life Source', the Phantom Troupe leader needs 'World Core', White Night needs 'Soul-Severing Shadow Stone', Blade Demon needs... cough, Blade Demon didn't say last time, Immortal Old Man needs information on 'Immortal Curse'."

Just as the black mist figure finished speaking, the phantoms of several items appeared.

"White Bull, I got the Life Source."

The leader spoke. Hearing this, White Bull took out something with two fingers from his bosom.

"What a coincidence, I also got the World Core."

The seats of the two were shrouded in gray mist. Soon, the two reached a transaction. White Bull needed Life Source to prolong his life, and what the leader needed the World Core for, except for himself, no one knew.

"Everyone, don't be too cruel. Don't be like the Blade Demon last time, saying there was a 'Starry Sky Inscription', but then absorbing the energy inside."

"I have the inscription..."

"Really?"

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Saintess Seat next door cast her gaze over.

"I have... one-fifth."

"One-fifth? That's also good."

Saintess Seat's gaze was scorching. Finding a complete Starry Sky Inscription was certainly a good thing, but if she couldn't find it, she could also accumulate it slowly.

"I don't have the Soul-Severing Shadow Stone you need, but I can exchange it with other things, something you are very interested in."

Saintess Seat took out a wooden box, opened it, and pushed it to Su Xiao.

"This is the notebook left by the female Law-Breaker Green Gillian. Part of it is her summary of her own abilities. Interested?"

"Okay."

Su Xiao pushed the Starry Sky Inscription toward Saintess Seat. This thing was only one-fifth. If the remaining four-fifths couldn't be found, it would have no value, or he would have to find a new Starry Sky Inscription, or find the remaining four-fifths; otherwise, this thing couldn't be spliced.

Su Xiao and Saintess Seat just reached a transaction, and the leader and the Immortal Old Man also exchanged an item. Because the interval between this Empty Seat Banquet and the last one was short, the items traded with each other were also few.

"The main event can begin."

The leader cast his gaze at Su Xiao, and the others did too.

Su Xiao took out a charcoal box from the storage space. After opening it, 3,168 grams of Black Maple Tree branches and 105 Black Maple leaves appeared in everyone's eyes.

Su Xiao couldn't take out Black Maple Tree output indefinitely. At present, his Black Maple Tree was only 3.68 meters tall. Even with six World Cores (fragments) to help it grow, the current Black Maple Tree was too short, and the output was limited.

This time's 3,168 grams of Black Maple Tree branches were still using the previous reserves. Fortunately, this situation wouldn't last too long. After the baptism of wind and rain, the Black Maple Tree would welcome a rapid growth period.

Moreover, Su Xiao didn't take quantity as an advantage. In terms of the quantity of Black Maple Tree output, he definitely couldn't compete with the Blade Demon at this stage. What he wanted was quality.

Taking out 1,500 grams of Black Maple Tree branches, this was to return to White Bull, which was owed when exchanging for the finger bone of the first Law-Breaker last time.

White Bull wasn't polite. After this guy picked up a few pieces of Black Maple Tree branches, he threw them directly into his mouth and chewed. Looking at that expression, he was obviously very satisfied with these Black Maple Tree branches.

"The rest can be bid at will. I will sell them according to my personal needs."

"I bid..."

Before Saintess Seat finished speaking, the leader spoke in a very flat tone:

"I bid 400 Soul Crystals. What did you just say? Saintess Seat."

"I said, you are a bastard~"

Under the heavy blow of Soul Crystals, Saintess Seat was silenced. She still couldn't figure out where the leader from the paradise got so many Soul Crystals. Could it be that the paradise would distribute them regularly?
