However, everything was within expectations. This was the effect that Xiao Chen wanted. He smiled faintly and suppressed the voices of the crowd. "Old sirs, please don't get agitated. This Xiao no longer has any Longevity Fruits on me. Even if you kill me, you will not be able to get one."
Once those words were spoken, one could clearly see the disappointment on the faces of the many old men.
Xiao Chen paused for a while before continuing, "Just because I do not have any Longevity Fruits on me does not mean that I do not have any more. Truth be told, I obtained ten Longevity Fruits by chance in an Immortal sect Remnant in the Primal Chaos Domain's Heavenly Ruin Wasteland.
"Aside from the one that I gave to Old Mister Diao, I handed the remaining nine to the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion. Half a month from now, the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion will hold a small grandmaster-level auction to auction off these Longevity Fruits. "
There are still nine left!
The old men surrounding Xiao Chen immediately rekindled their hope. Several of the old men looked at Xiao Chen with malicious intent. They did not believe him and wanted to kill him to snatch his treasures.
Xiao Chen saw all this. His heart was as clear as a mirror. He smiled faintly and said, "I hope that everyone will attend the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion's auction half a month from now."
"I once said that great grandmaster-level experts cannot stop me. I was not speaking carelessly. If you want to keep this Xiao Chen here, don't overthink it."
The Freedom Wings on Xiao Chen's back unfurled. He had already prepared the Magic Skill, So Close Yet Worlds Apart. Instantly excited, he took a step forward and crossed hundreds of kilometers.
"He really disappeared. I can't sense his aura anymore."
"Xiao Chen was indeed not bragging. Great grandmaster-level Martial Sages cannot stop him."
"Longevity Fruits. Unexpectedly, this old man managed to run into such a natural treasure in his lifetime. I have to obtain it at all costs."
"It looks like I can only sell the divine materials for forging weapons. Otherwise, I will not be able to buy Longevity Fruits."
Several old men left Sword Forging Peak, preparing for the Longevity Fruit Auction that would take place half a month later.
--- Hundreds of kilometers away, Xiao Chen landed on a small mountain peak. He revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
He had twenty Longevity Fruits in his hands. He took out one Longevity Fruit to resolve his grudge and advertise it at the same time. He could definitely afford it. After all, it was a trade without any cost.
Given Sword Forging Peak's position in the Profound Domain, the news of the Longevity Fruit appearing would spread throughout the entire Profound Domain in less than three days.
At that time, the many older-generation grandmaster-level Martial Sages would all take action. None of the older-generation great grandmaster-level Martial Sages would care about their lifespans.
Nine Longevity Fruits would definitely fetch a good price.
He might not even have to search for the Three Life Stone, Soul Returning Grass, and Paramita Flower; he could use the Black Astral Coins to purchase them.
It was a small move, killing three birds with one stone.
Resurrection Flower, Equinox Grass, Three Lives Stone.
Xiao Chen had never heard of any of the three items. However, based on their names, he vaguely felt that they might be in the Ghost Domain or that he might have to make a trip to the Nine Hells Purgatory.
As for the specifics, Xiao Chen would have to ask Ying Qiong. He could also ask about the matter of the Saber School Ranking.
Calculating the time, Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu should have already arrived at the Ying Clan's headquarters in the Profound Domain, Qin City.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and gave up on going to Qin City. Right now, his identity was somewhat sensitive. It would be better to send someone to inform Ying Qiong.
The Profound Domain was much larger than the Primal Chaos Domain. On the surface, it looked much calmer. At the very least, there would not be any loose cultivators brazenly walking the streets.
However, the factions here were much more complicated and vast than in the Primal Chaos Domain.
The Profound Domain was independent of the five domains. There were many Noble Clans of the Ghost Race, Corpse Race, human race, and Fiend Race.
They were all like the Sovereign Noble Clans of the human race. They did not submit to the jurisdiction of the major factions of their own domain, so they left and came to this Profound Domain to establish themselves.
After tens of thousands of years of development, this place already had its own unique background, becoming the center of the entire Kunlun Realm. Not only were there many local factions, but the Bushin Palace, the Corpse God Palace, the Deity Domain, and the Fiend Race had also extended their influence into this place, making it even more complicated.
There were countless experts, including several Sovereign Martial Emperors. However, there were only two publicly recognized as the strongest: the Saber Sovereign, Wu Xiaotian, and the Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun.
There were many Saber Sovereigns in this world, such as the Northern Sea Saber Sovereign, the Ice Saber Sovereign, and the Primal Chaos Saber Sovereign. However, only Wu Xiaotian dared to call himself the Saber Sovereign without any prefixes.
The Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun, was the same. The two of them were publicly recognized as the strongest in the Kunlun Realm when it came to using the saber and the sword.
This Liu Xiaoyun was not the Liu Xiaoyun that Xiao Chen met in the Sky Dome Realm. They had different names, and the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.
Xiao Chen had been to the Profound Domain a few times. His understanding of the Profound Domain was limited to the bits of information he had obtained.
Now that he was on a tall mountain, he looked around. He did not know where he was or which faction governed this place.
Xiao Chen chose the nearest city and put away the Freedom Wings. Then, he started to make his way. After four hours, he arrived at a towering city gate.
"Heavenly Cauldron City!"
There were three ancient and vast words written on the city gates. The strokes were like dragons and snakes, looking very imposing. Xiao Chen muttered them aloud.
Heavenly Cauldron City was about the same size as Qin City, which Xiao Chen had been to before. It was second only to the sky city in the center of the Profound Domain, Leisure Feather City.
After entering the city gate, Xiao Chen discovered that there were an absurd number of bladesmen in the city. He even vaguely felt like he was in Saber City at the foot of the Sky Dome Realm's Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
As a bladesman, Xiao Chen did not find this unsuitable. On the contrary, he was already used to this feeling.
When Xiao Chen entered the largest inn in the city, he was told that all the private rooms and VIP rooms were taken. All the independent courtyards were sold out long ago, leaving only a few of the lowest quality guest rooms.
"Hehe! Excuse me, but the City Lord's Young Master recently organized a tea party. Meeting friends over tea and discussing the Dao with the saber. He invited all the famous bladesmen in the world, resulting in overcrowding. Only the lower rooms are left. "
At the table, Xiao Chen casually drank wine. Then, he took a sip and put down his wine cup. "That's fine. Lower rooms it is. What's wrong? Does the City Lord have a great background? He is just a Young Master, and he dares to invite all the bladesmen in the world? "
The waiter smiled and said, "Of course. This City Lord is a famous bladesman in the Tianwu Domain. He is already a Blue Robed Emperor. Furthermore, Heavenly Cauldron City is one of the holy lands for bladesmen in the Profound Domain. Do you think he has a great background?
"However, this is nothing. At the very least, in the Profound Domain, even Emperor Wu would not dare to say that he can do as he pleases. The truly incredible one is the Young City Lord, Bai Lang. His talent is outstanding. The Saber Sovereign took a liking to him and accepted him as his final disciple. Do you think he is qualified to invite all the bladesmen in the world?
"This tea party has been passed down for a long time. It is as famous as the Sword Dao tea party held by the Sword Sovereign's inheritors and is widely sought after."
The waiter sounded very pleased with himself. Clearly, as a local, he felt somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's question.
Xiao Chen smiled and did not refute the waiter. However, he felt somewhat depressed in his heart. He invited all the famous bladesmen in the world, but why did he not receive an invitation?
However, this resentment passed in a flash. After Xiao Chen drank the wine, he tossed it to the back of his mind.
"Go and help me prepare a lower room. After that, I still have something to do and need you to run errands for me. You should know about the faction that circulates letters in the city, right?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "Preparing a room is part of my job. This little one definitely knows where to circulate letters. However, this is not part of my job. That …"
Xiao Chen tossed out a Black Astral Coin and asked, "Is that enough?"
In the Primal Chaos Domain, Xiao Chen had killed many Martial Sages. Although Xiao Chen had left the spatial rings with Lord Jiu, he had taken the Astral Coins and divine materials in them for himself.
The items that Lord Jiu had gone to the Ying Clan to deal with were the black goods in the spatial rings. In terms of total value, they were much higher than the Astral Coins that Xiao Chen had taken.
Xiao Chen now had more than two million Black Astral Coins, a huge sum. Tossing out one Black Astral Coin was more than enough.
The waiter happily received the Black Astral Coin and repeatedly said "good". Then, he quickly went to prepare a room for Xiao Chen.
In merely three days, after receiving the letter, Ying Qiong arrived at the appointed time. Xiao Chen casually looked around and discovered two grandmaster-level Martial Sages hidden in the surroundings.
Having learned his lesson, Ying Qiong was much more cautious than before.
Even grandmaster-level Martial Sages appeared. This showed that the power struggle among the Ying Clan's younger generation had reached a peak.
"Young Master Xiao, you really do not ask for this little girl's help. You can't even bear to meet me." Ying Qiong sat down and looked at Xiao Chen with a resentful look.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't give me that. If you were a little girl, then there would be no women in the world."
Ying Qiong's expression turned serious as she scolded, "You fellow, your mouth is still as venomous as before. That auction was something you decided to hold on your own, right? Are you not afraid that I will fall out with you and prevent you from continuing the auction? "
Xiao Chen put down his wine cup and said with some pity, "In that case, never mind. I was just preparing to give you three Longevity Fruits as a thank you gift after the auction. It looks like you do not care for them."
Ying Qiong's mouth gaped open slightly as she asked in a low voice, "You fellow, just how many Longevity Fruits do you have? Don't tell me you even snatched a Longevity Tree?"
"You overestimate me. With my strength, how could I capture a Longevity Tree? However, I do have quite a few Longevity Fruits. Since you agreed to hold the auction, I will definitely give you the three Longevity Fruits as promised. "
Ying Qiong revealed a suspicious expression. "Are you that kind? Why do I feel that something is wrong? "
Xiao Chen said softly, "Don't think too badly of me. I do not wish for the Ying Clan to end up in the hands of someone I am not familiar with. In the future, you will be in charge of the Ying Clan. It will be much easier for me to handle some matters. The three Longevity Fruits will allow you to recruit three experts. That should be of some help to you. "
Ying Qiong smiled craftily and said, "How come I heard that someone took away the King Grade Secret Treasures of the Yan Clan, Jiang Clan, and Lin Clan's scions? You are afraid of offending the Ying Clan, offending the four Sovereign Noble Clans of the human race, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Whatever you say. If you are willing to hold the auction, then let's settle it. I can hand the Longevity Fruits to you now."
"How can I reject benefits that are delivered to my doorstep? That's right, I already helped your two friends with their matters. However, I did not earn a single cent. That Fatso is not doing business. What a waste of his eloquence. "
Xiao Chen smiled and casually handed the box containing the Longevity Fruits to Ying Qiong.
Ying Qiong checked the box for a while. Then, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she smiled like a flower. "What else is there? Just say it all at once. I don't believe that you will give me something for free."
