"Yellow Springs Bamboo! The legendary Spirit Bamboo that grows beside the Yellow Springs River! It actually exists. "
"I once saw Yellow Springs Bamboo at a large auction in Fengdu City. It was much thinner than this one."
"The thickness is not a problem. I once saw records of Yellow Springs Bamboo. The older the Spirit Bamboo, the thinner it is. It seems like this Yellow Springs Bamboo is relatively young."
The ghosts in the hall suddenly began to discuss, many of them crying out in surprise.
But after a while, no one took out the pill that Shen Luo wanted to exchange.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luo's heart sank.
This Yellow Springs Bamboo was definitely precious, but no ghosts spoke. It was clear that they did not have the pill that he wanted.
It was no wonder. Pills for breaking through to the next realm during the fasting period were precious to begin with. For cultivators in the fasting period, it was also a rare and excellent item to assist in their cultivation. It was normal that they couldn't find a treasure that could increase their chances of breaking through by more than 30%.
"It seems like I really have to be ripped off by the pill shop downstairs." Shen Luo secretly sighed and was about to put away the Yellow Springs Bamboo.
"Wait a moment. Can you let me see your Yellow Springs Bamboo?" A voice suddenly sounded. It was Li Shuang.
"Please." Shen Luo was startled. He waved his hand and sent the green bamboo over.
Li Shuang caught it. After looking at it for a while, a black gas came out of his hand and entered the green bamboo.
The green bamboo quickly turned black and red spots appeared on it. It emitted a red light that shined on his hand.
Strands of black gas flew out of the tall masked man's hand and were swallowed by the black bamboo.
"It's definitely Yellow Springs Bamboo!" Li Shuang's eyes flashed with joy. A layer of dense black light appeared on his hand and blocked the Yellow Springs Bamboo's swallowing.
The Yellow Springs Bamboo could not swallow the Yin Qi. The red spots on its body flashed a few times and quickly disappeared. After a few breaths, the bamboo returned to its emerald green state.
"Little friend Shen, I have three Earth Spirit Pills here. They can definitely increase your chances of breaking through by 30%. How about exchanging them for your Yellow Springs Bamboo?" Li Shuang said as he took out a black jade bottle.
"Earth Spirit Pill? Isn't that a secret pill from the Underworld?"
"Yes! It is said that this pill is refined with the Unruffled Emotions Water, which is unique to the Underworld, as the main ingredient. It is extremely precious. "
"I've seen an Earth Spirit Pill being auctioned in Fengdu City. Each pill costs more than a hundred immortal jades."
The ghosts in the hall fell silent for a moment before bursting into an uproar.
"More than a 30% chance of breaking through!" Shen Luo's face showed a trace of excitement, and he immediately agreed.
"Wait a moment!" A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting. It was Black Vein who stood up not far away.
"Do you have something to say?" Li Shuang glanced at him and asked.
"I have something to ask Senior Li Shuang. Do you have any more Earth Spirit Pills on you?" Facing Li Shuang, Hei Wen withdrew his usual arrogant attitude and asked with a slight smile.
"No, only three." Li Shuang shook his head.
Hearing those words, Hei Wen's expression sank. However, he immediately revealed a smile.
"Senior Li Shuang, I would also like to exchange for your Earth Spirit Pill. Could you sell it to me? I'm willing to pay three hundred and sixty immortal jades. His Yellow Springs Bamboo is only a small piece, so it definitely isn't worth that price. " Hei Wen took out a cloth bag and placed it on the stone table. With a crash, a small pile of immortal jades rolled out from within.
Shen Luo was furious that the transaction that was about to be completed had gone awry. However, Hei Wen was discussing business with Li Shuang. Moreover, he was currently empty-handed, so he couldn't increase the price. He could only silently stand to the side and nervously observe Li Shuang's expression.
"No need. I don't lack immortal jades." Li Shuang shook his head without hesitation, then tossed the jade bottle in his hand to Shen Luo.
"Many thanks, Senior."
Shen Luo's heart relaxed and he caught the jade bottle. After opening it, there were three black pills inside. They were surrounded by a layer of black light and looked extremely mystical. However, there was no medicinal fragrance emitting from them.
However, his eyes lit up. The overflowing medicinal fragrance was actually caused by the essence of the pills leaking out. These pills didn't have the slightest trace of medicinal fragrance. All of the medicinal energy was condensed inside the pills. This alone was enough to prove the mystery of the Earth Spirit Pill.
Moreover, Shen Luo believed that Li Shuang wouldn't lie to him in front of everyone. He closed the bottle and put it away. His heart was filled with excitement.
With these three Earth Spirit Pills, even if his aptitude was poor, there was still a small chance that he could break through the fasting period.
"Shen Daoyou, congratulations." Xie Yuxin said in a low voice.
Shen Luo slightly nodded in response.
Seeing this, Hei Wen's face flashed with a tyrannical expression and he took a step forward.
"Fellow Daoist Hei Wen, Impermanence Pavilion forbids all forms of fighting. I hope you can conduct yourself with dignity!" The tall masked man on the right side of the auction stage said in a hoarse voice.
"Young Master." The blood-robed servant hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Hei Wen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. He swept a glance at Shen Luo and Li Shuang. A sinister expression flashed through his eyes and he sat down.
Shen Luo noticed the murderous intent in Hei Wen's eyes. His heart trembled, but he didn't say anything.
"Fellow Xie, do you know how to leave this place and return to the Human Realm after the Ghost City closes?" He remembered something and asked Xie Yuxin.
"The person who recommended you here didn't even tell you this? If you want to return to the Human Realm, you need to return to the place where we were sent in after the Ghost City closes. When the time comes, the restriction here will automatically send us back to Jianye City. "Xie Yuxin's face revealed a hint of surprise as he spoke in a low voice.
"So it's like that." Shen Luo suddenly understood. He nodded to Xie Yuxin in thanks, but in his heart, he couldn't help but criticize that Soul Hooking Horse-Face for not being reliable. He didn't even tell him such an important thing.
Perhaps the craze caused by the appearance of the Yellow Springs Bamboo, Earth Spirit Pill, and other treasures was too intense. The later people's trading items seemed somewhat ordinary. The reactions of the ghosts in the hall were also somewhat absent-minded. Basically, they were all in a hurry. Only two or three people successfully exchanged for what they wanted.
After the end of the exchange meeting, everyone in the hall stood up. After saluting Yu Guan, they left one after another.
Hei Wen didn't pay any attention to Yu Guan, nor did he salute. With a gloomy face, he directly walked out with the blood-robed servant.
"What an arrogant and conceited brat!" The tall masked man coldly snorted.
Yu Guan's small face had an indifferent expression.
"Many thanks to Senior for upholding justice just now." Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin stepped forward and saluted Yu Guan's group of three.
"The two of you are my Impermanent Pavilion's guests. We naturally have to act impartially." The short masked man said with a smile.
"Impermanent Pavilion does business fairly and strictly. This little girl has long heard about it. Seeing it today, it's even better than the rumors. I admire it." Xie Yuxin also said with a smile.
Hearing this, the tall and short masked man faintly smiled. His mood didn't fluctuate because of Xie Yuxin's secret praise.
"You can leave first. I have something to say to them." Yu Guan waved his hand.
Hearing this, the tall and short masked man complied and withdrew.
Soon, only Yu Guan and Shen Luo were left in the hall.
