Chapter 667: The Trade Fair

With less than half a month until the Alchemy Conference, Yang Tian had already traveled for several days. He couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of the Central Province.

According to the map, the distance from Juling City to Dandao City was relatively short; if it were other sects, they would likely have to traverse for an extremely long time.

Ordinary large-scale teleportation arrays required top-grade blood stones to operate. Given Yang Tian's wealth, he was reluctant to use top-grade blood stones.

Along the way, the high-grade blood stones consumed just for travel were countless. Yang Tian had no idea how far through the void he had crossed, and the teleportation fees alone amounted to a huge sum.

In the deep void passage, Yang Tian sat with his eyes closed, resting. There were so many people inside that it was impossible to move one's body.

The place was in chaos. Many female cultivators cursed as numerous wandering hands groped about, causing Yang Tian to roll his eyes.

Many female cultivators had been molested, and some were even caught red-handed, but it all ended without consequence. Fighting here would undoubtedly be courting death; if it triggered a void storm, it would be a huge trouble.

"This trip is bound to be very lively." Scratching his head, Yang Tian murmured to himself. Just then, the void passage suddenly trembled.

"We've arrived." An old man opened his eyes, emitting two waves of scorching heat. It was clear that he was also an alchemist.

The entire crowd became even more chaotic. The opening of the passage split apart, and even louder noise poured in.

This was a massive square. Void passages continuously crossed over, filled with all kinds of people. The commotion shook the clouds in the sky.

Yang Tian's first impression was of grandeur, vastness, and magnificence. His eyes scanned the surroundings, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He swept his divine soul over the area, but even with his soul power, he couldn't cover Dandao City. The city's area was a hundred times larger than Juling City!

"So magnificent, it can rival the scope of a great domain." Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian looked excited and began to wander around.

Within Dandao City were many powerful beings from various races, and many fearsome beasts were extremely well-behaved. The Dandao Sect was no ordinary force; its influence in the Central Province was immense.

"I need to find a way to get some soul-nourishing treasures or alchemy formulas." Yang Tian's eyes flickered. Yang Xiao would likely need another five or six years to awaken.

He needed a large amount of soul-nourishing treasures. As for advanced alchemy formulas, Yang Tian didn't have any, especially for soul-enhancing pills. He only had some sixth-grade formulas.

Such formulas were precious items in all major races, rarely sold, and were the lifeblood of alchemists.

Even some eighth-grade pills could be called divine pills. Such pills were extremely rare, and Yang Tian had never even encountered them.

"Uncle Xiao once mentioned a miraculous pill called the Soul Fusion Pill. I wonder if Dandao City has such a treasure." He pondered, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.

This was a special pill prepared for those stepping into the Manifest Saint realm, a seventh-grade high-level pill that greatly benefited breaking through to the Manifest Saint realm. Even Yang Xiao didn't possess this formula.

Yang Tian's current wealth was considerable. The day before, he had seized the void rings of Wu Li and Xiao Yuan, as well as that Kui Dragon's void ring. He now had thirty thousand high-grade blood stones!

This was a staggering number, a fortune for high-end treasure transactions. A clan like the Bai family would probably need thirty years of operation to earn that much!

"Hmm, I still have quite a bit of nectar, which I haven't used much over the years. This alchemy conference is bound to be something alchemists would kill for." Scratching his hair, Yang Tian walked forward.

On the way, he had heard that the alchemy conference would feature a major auction, preceded by a large trade fair. Yang Tian eagerly headed there.

Although it was just a trade fair, it was not comparable to ordinary ones. Moreover, many powerful figures from the continent would be joining in the fun, so the items couldn't be weak. There might even be some extraordinary treasures appearing.

"It's hard to imagine how magnificent the scene must have been during the heyday of the cultivation world." Walking and stopping along the way, he encountered many unfathomable figures and couldn't help but marvel.

Yang Tian also had a vague premonition that this place would be his arena for contention. This was an era of many experts, a time when a hundred flowers bloomed and stars shone brightly. To stand out would require a path of battle!

His heart surged with excitement. After walking for a while, Yang Tian's gaze fell on a massive palace ahead, surrounded by many people pointing and discussing.

A gate a thousand zhang high stood horizontally, radiating a golden divine light and emitting a vast oppressive pressure, making those with low cultivation levels dare not approach.

"Only war emperors may enter..." His eyes fell on a jade tablet. When Yang Tian noticed the words on it, he couldn't help but smile.

He stepped forward, and as his body entered the golden halo, a powerful sealing force emerged.

Seeing this, Yang Tian released a faint trace of aura from within, and the sealing force around him dissipated. He then stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, the divine light before Yang Tian blazed brightly. The vast hall stretched endlessly, with no end in sight.

Inside, there were bustling crowds. Rows of neatly arranged stalls could be seen, seemingly chaotic but actually well-ordered, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

He nodded slightly, and his gaze fell on the stall nearest to him. The stall owner was an old man, seemingly asleep, lying on a chair without speaking.

Looking at the items on the stall, a hint of surprise appeared in Yang Tian's eyes. The items were all extraordinary, including many ancient artifacts and quite a few high-quality pills.

After a few glances, he lost interest and walked deeper, hoping to find treasures that caught his eye.

Walking and stopping along the way, Yang Tian was dazzled, but nothing truly useful to him appeared. He lacked no techniques or artifacts, only some pills, but such pills were rare.

Just as Yang Tian was observing, he suddenly noticed figures descending from above. His brow furrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he saw many people appearing from above in a strange manner.

"Excuse me, sir, I saw you all coming down from above. Is there another entrance up there?" Yang Tian approached an old man who seemed approachable, cupping his hands with a smile.

The old man glanced at Yang Tian, a hint of arrogance in his eyes, but he still explained, "Young friend, up there is a place for alchemists. One's soul cultivation needs to reach at least the intermediate level of Soul Refining, or be an emperor-level figure, to enter."

"Oh, such a high requirement. Thank you for telling me, sir." Yang Tian was surprised, not expecting such a high requirement. Such soul strength could already refine sixth-grade high-level pills.

The old man looked pleased, but just as he was about to speak, he found Yang Tian's figure leaping upward. Under his astonished gaze, Yang Tian walked straight in.

The old man was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter, "Truly a generation of talents. A young lad actually went up."

Like a layer of soft divine light, Yang Tian's soul power surged around him, and he was lifted up by a soft curtain of light.

His body appeared on the second floor. Yang Tian was surprised, his gaze sweeping around. It was very quiet here, but there were quite a few people.

A young man entering drew some attention, but after a few glances, they looked away.

"Dan Chen..." When Yang Tian noticed a young man in white, he was stunned. What a coincidence.

Dan Chen was followed by two old men, who seemed like enforcers here. They wandered around, and many old men nodded with smiles, appearing respectful.

"I forgot that this guy is a rising star of the Alchemy Dao Alliance." Yang Tian chuckled to himself. He touched his nose, and his gaze fell on the highest level, gradually turning serious.

If he guessed correctly, there should be a third floor, and he probably wasn't qualified to go up.

As Yang Tian took a few steps, the Divine Dragon Soul-Suppressing Pendant in his body suddenly trembled, and the artifact spirit exuded a covetous desire!
