A dozen or so cultivators were standing on a short mountain peak that bordered the Fiend Demon Sect's territory.
Looking at each other from afar, they could vaguely see a sea of people moving among the mountain peaks of the Fiend Demon Sect.
Many legendary outsider races and cultivators from the Haoran realm seemed to be haggling over something.
Not long ago, President Li had announced his name, and they had all heard his high-pitched speech.
From this, they learned that President Li was the former president of the Tongtian Trading Company.
He was the genius who had single-handedly built the Tongtian Trading Company and made it the most powerful force in the south of the Tranquil Continent, surpassing the Tool Sect and the Medicine God Sect.
"Hey, I want to go and have a look too. I wonder if they'll let us in."
"Even though we weren't invited, I just noticed that some people tried to go there, but weren't stopped."
"What I'm worried about is that we'll be targeted as soon as we get in."
The dozen or so cultivators discussed in low voices, looking up into the sky from time to time.
It was as if there were invisible eyes staring at them from the sky.
Zu An of the Heaven Ascension Peak held the Sky Viewing Mirror in his hand. With the secret technique he comprehended, he was able to clearly see the various details of the three continents. As long as Zu An wanted to, as long as he wanted to, he would definitely be able to see the commotion over here and hear the content of their conversation.
Since Zu An could do it, how could the Nascent Divinity realm cultivators of the three great sects, the strongest experts of the Devil's Palace and the Goblin Temple not know?
It was because of this that they were hesitant.
"Aren't you going to go and have a look, Brother Pei?"
A Soul Wander realm rogue cultivator looked at the silent Pei Tianji, who was standing straight on a cliff face and facing the Fiend Demon Sect. "Star Soul Vines are wondrous items that cultivators from the Haoran realm obtained from the Astral Race's territory and transplanted to our world.
"It's just that Star Soul Vines aren't used to the environment in the Haoran realm, so it's very difficult for them to grow. That's why a single Star Soul Vine is worth five hundred thousand spirit stones. "
That person sighed and said, "I heard that of the three Star Soul Vines that were transplanted to Haoran, the one in the Goblin Temple has withered and died, and the one in Xuantianzong has gone missing after being stolen. Only the Star Luna Sect still has one Star Soul Vine left. Every few decades, one of its vines will be broken. "
"The Star Moon Sect views the Star Soul Vine as a precious treasure. They would never sell it."
"It's very likely that the vine you saw on Heavenspan Island came from the Star Soulvine that was stolen from Xuantianzong. The Tongtian Trading Company is really greedy. Five hundred thousand spirit stones! "
That person sighed emotionally.
Pei Tianji didn't come from the Star Moon Sect. After spending many years in the late Soul Wander Realm, he had gathered all of the spiritual materials and medicinal pills he needed to refine his Yang Spirit over the past hundred years.
— Only one Star Soul Vine was missing.
That vine was the key to his transformation into a Yang Spirit. It was absolutely necessary!
He had searched for it for many years and only found one on Heavenspan Island. The Chamber of Commerce had priced it at five hundred thousand spirit stones. He had been short of money and couldn't afford it.
Because of that, he had missed the opportunity.
Not long after, he heard that someone from the Star Moon Sect had bought the Star Soul Vine and brought it back to the Star Moon Sect.
Now, he couldn't find a new Star Soul Vine, nor did he have five hundred thousand spirit stones.
He had been in the late Soul Wander Realm for long enough. It was so long that he felt that he wouldn't have the courage, opportunity, or ability to break through to the Yang Spirit Realm if he didn't hurry.
"Sigh." Pei Tianji sighed. "Even if the Fiend Demon Sect has a Star Soul Vine, I don't have enough spirit stones to buy it."
"How much do you have?"
"Only a hundred and fifty thousand left."
"That's true … I'm afraid it's not enough."
Pei Tianji frowned and changed the topic. "What about you, Brother Liang? The Black Thorn Wood you desire is extremely difficult to find in Haoran. I heard that the Black Scale Race in the outer realms grows it in large quantities. Black Thorn Wood is the material for your spirit incantation. Do you know where it came from? "
Liang Mo shook his head. "Easier said than done."
On the short mountain, a group of people sighed and looked longingly at the mountain range where the Fiend Demon Sect was located. However, they had all kinds of misgivings and doubts, so they didn't dare to take that step.
There were hundreds of people like them, and they were all pacing back and forth outside the mountain range.
Whoosh!
Under the night sky, the old man of the Star Race, Bei Lu, floated over from the direction of the Fiend Demon Sect and stopped in front of Pei Tianji.
Everyone gathered on the short mountain was startled by Bei Lu's arrival and looked at him in surprise.
"My name is Bei Lu. I'm a Nine Star Sage of the Star Race." He smiled and said to Pei Tianji in fluent human language, "I just overheard you talking about Star Soul Vines. Is that true?"
"The Star Race!" Pei Tianji's expression flickered. "You are?"
Bei Lu smiled. Then, like magic, a pocket-sized Star Soul Vine suddenly appeared in his palm.
This Starsoul Vine had numerous translucent vines that were filled with dazzling starlight. At a glance, it seemed as if every single vine was filled with a myriad of tiny stars, and it was extremely dazzling and mysterious.
"A Star Soul Vine!" Pei Tianji could no longer control the excitement in his heart. Even his breathing became somewhat heavy.
There were a total of three Star Soul Vines in Haoran. One was dead, and the other was missing. Now, only the Star Luna Sect was protecting the last one with great care at great expense.
It was said that at least three elders of the Star Luna Sect were sitting next to the Star Soul Vine and looking after it.
Pei Tianji had only seen one vine on Heaven Span Island his entire life. When had he ever seen a complete Star Soul Vine?
"So this is a Star Soul Vine! It's amazing just by looking at it! "
"There's only one Star Soul Vine left in Haoran!"
"The Star Soul Vine truly lives up to its name."
These outsiders who wanted to enter the Fiend Demon Sect's mountain range but were apprehensive about it gathered around and clicked their tongues in wonder.
"How many spirit stones do you have?" Bei Lu asked with a smile.
"Only one hundred and fifty thousand left." Pei Tianji's face reddened, and he seemed embarrassed. "I have a few other spiritual tools that are worth fifty thousand spirit stones. It's just that I haven't had the time to sell them yet! Old man, if you allow me, I can think of a way to borrow some spirit stones from a few friends. "
With these words, he quickly looked at Liang Mo beside him. "Brother Liang?"
"I can lend you fifty thousand," Liang Mo said with a bitter smile.
"Old man, can you leave me a vine?" Pei Tianji begged.
Bei Lu's expression was somewhat strange.
Pei Tianji was afraid that he would be displeased and annoyed. Seeing that he had fallen silent, he didn't dare to disturb him loudly.
After a while, the Nine Star Sage of the Star Race didn't care much. He even rudely broke a vine from the Star Soul Vine in front of Pei Tianji.
"S-careful!" Pei Tianji screamed.
"The Star Soul Vine isn't that precious, and there's not much care about its preservation." Bei Lu handed the sparkling vine to Pei Tianji. "Fifty thousand spirit stones is enough."
"What? What did you say? "Pei Tianji was flabbergasted.
Everyone else was also flabbergasted.
Heaven Span Island had clearly marked the price of a Star Soul Vine that was worth five hundred thousand spirit stones, but this Star Race old man only asked for fifty thousand spirit stones!
That was ten times the price difference!
Moreover, he had broken a vine from the Star Soul Vine right in front of his face. It was a long vine!
"Fifty thousand spirit stones it is," Bei Lu repeated.
"Oh, oh, thank you. I'll give it to you right away. Thank you so much, really …"
Pei Tianji stammered incoherently as he hastily pulled out a string of spirit stones that looked like a river from his mustard seed bracelet.
Bei Lu waved his sleeves, and like a giant snake swallowing food, he happily collected the spirit stones.
"That's enough. Fifty thousand spirit stones it is!"
Seeing that Pei Tianji was still "pouring" out spirit stones, Beirut spoke up to stop him. He looked at him approvingly and said, "Next time, I can lower the price if I want to buy more."
With these words, he smiled in satisfaction and turned around to fly back to the Fiend Demon Sect.
As soon as he left, Bei Lu suddenly thought of something. He turned around to look at Liang Mo and said casually, "This time, the Black Scales brought a large amount of Black Thorn Wood. This kind of wood isn't rare in the Black Scales' realms. "
Liang Mo's body shook as the light of ecstasy appeared in her eyes.
