The most distinctive feature of the courtyards in the Northern Region was their size.
The temple that Zhan Tianfeng lived in covered an extremely large area. If someone were to tour this place, even if they spent a day and a night, they would only be able to take a quick look at it.
He Yiming, Shui Xuanjin, and the other nine Innate Experts from different small countries were led here by Mao Lieguang.
The location of the Masters' Trade Fair was not originally arranged here because no one dared to disturb Zhan Tianfeng's cultivation. However, with the sudden appearance of two One-Line-Sky powerhouses, the situation was naturally different.
Zhan Tianfeng had personally ordered for this event to be held at his residence, so naturally, no one dared to raise any objections.
Mao Lieguang walked in front and said with a smile, "Brother He, friends, this is the garden that Imperial Tutor Zhan personally ordered to collect and plant. It can be considered a sacred place in our Kairong Country. Please take your time to enjoy it. "
Just like He Yiming, Shui Xuanjin and the others were entering this mysterious temple for the first time.
Although they all knew that there was such a place in the Kairong Country, it was still their first time being able to set foot here.
From time to time, they would glance in He Yiming's direction. They all knew that it was all thanks to He Yiming that they were able to receive such treatment.
At this moment, He Yiming felt an inexplicable strange feeling as he walked on this avenue formed by different kinds of trees.
The most important place here was naturally the area where Zhan Tianfeng lived.
A few hundred meters away from there, there were trees that had been transplanted from various places.
These trees were either tall and erect, or like golden hooks hanging upside down, or welcoming guests with both hands. Listening to the sound of the pines that were sometimes low and sometimes cheerful, and sometimes murmuring to themselves, it was really quite interesting.
When He Yiming walked through this forest, his gaze lingered on these trees. He could even feel the unique aura coming from these huge trees.
At this moment, he thought of the herb garden in Hengshan. Only in the most suitable place for the development of the Wood Element would he be able to sense a similar aura.
His footsteps slowed down involuntarily, and his mind was in a trance. Strange patterns appeared in his mind.
Among these patterns, the only thing that didn't change was a person.
This person cultivated diligently in this environment all year round. Every time he cultivated, he would absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world through these trees.
After decades of constant cultivation, this person had already attained an extremely high level of attainment in the Wood Path. At the same time, in the process of this person's cultivation, he obtained a win-win situation with these trees. Not only was his wood-elemental True Qi surging like the ocean, even the trees here had benefited greatly. Each and every one of them had grown strong and healthy, extraordinary.
"Brother Mao, your country's method of planting trees is indeed unique …" Zhao Ruipei said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, these Aqua Poplar Trees should be a unique plant from the East. If they were transplanted to our Northwest, only one out of a hundred would survive. Since this Aqua Poplar Tree has grown to such an extent here, it definitely wasn't done in a day. "
His words were filled with a sigh, as if he was very confused about this.
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely thought of something.
No matter how powerful, rich, and influential Zhan Tianfeng was, he would not have transplanted the Aqua Poplar Trees here from so far away for no reason.
Looking at the forest here, although it wasn't very big, there were a variety of trees planted in it. It could almost be said to be a great museum.
A strange thought flashed across his mind.
Could it be that Zhan Tianfeng had purposely collected and planted these trees, and these trees were extremely beneficial to his martial arts cultivation?
Unknowingly, the group had passed through the forest. As much as He Yiming was reluctant to leave, he was too embarrassed to return or stay there immediately.
Soon, the group finally arrived at the courtyard where Zhan Tianfeng was said to be in seclusion.
Other than He Yiming, this was the first time everyone had come here. When they saw the simple and unadorned place, they all felt strange. Following which, a trace of understanding appeared in the eyes of a few people. They knew that Zhan Tianfeng was actually a tenacious Ascetic Cultivator.
However, there were countless different cultivation methods and attitudes on the path of cultivation. Ascetic Cultivators might not be suitable for everyone. Experts who could reach the Xiantian Realm all had their own unique cultivation experience. They might not envy such a difficult cultivation method.
At this time, six Xiantian Experts from the Kairong Country's Great Master Hall had arrived. Other than Zhan Tianfeng, the rest were not in the country and could not attend.
After a while, Zhan Tianfeng walked out of the inner room.
When he walked into the room, everyone bowed and greeted him respectfully, not daring to slight him.
After all, the Xiantian Experts who appeared here were all within the sphere of influence of the Kairong Country. Before they were promoted to the Xiantian Realm, Zhan Tianfeng was already a famous Xiantian Master. When they stepped into the ranks with incomparable perseverance and luck, Zhan Tianfeng went one step further and achieved One-Line Heaven.
Zhan Tianfeng …
These three words were like an unshakable mountain, always suppressing the hearts of everyone. At the same time, this man, who was almost a legend in the eyes of everyone, was also the stabilizing force of the entire Kairong Country.
His reputation within the sphere of influence of the Kairong Country was almost the same as Shui Xuanjin's role in the Tianluo Country, or even better.
Therefore, when everyone really stood in front of him, although their hearts were filled with emotions, their respect for him came from the bottom of their hearts without the slightest reluctance.
With a gentle smile on his face, Zhan Tianfeng greeted everyone one by one.
However, everyone could easily see that he really looked at He Yiming differently. Even the arrangement of the seats was painstakingly made.
In the entire room, many chairs were arranged in a circular shape.
There were a total of three chairs in the middle, and behind these three chairs, there were scattered seats that were faintly divided into three parts.
Of course, in the middle of all the chairs, there was a large round table.
Although this arrangement looked a little strange, in the eyes of the crowd, it was clear at a glance.
Under Zhan Tianfeng's invitation, He Yiming only hesitated for a moment before sitting on the three chairs in the middle openly. Shui Xuanjin and the others sat on the seats behind him one after another.
If it was in the past, although Shui Xuanjin was the oldest among all the Xiantian Experts, he would not be able to sit on the first chair.
After all, among the Xiantian Experts, they were not ranked by age, but by personal strength.
However, at this moment, when He Yiming sat down, the other Masters in the alliance of small countries waited quietly for Shui Xuanjin to take his seat. After he sat down, they sat down one by one in the same order as before.
Although this action was subtle and inconspicuous, Shui Xuanjin was rather excited in his heart.
He looked at He Yiming's back, which was not particularly tall, and understood that he had such an opportunity entirely because of him …
After everyone sat down, they did not immediately take out their things. Instead, they chatted cheerfully and cheerfully.
However, everyone's gaze also turned to the door, waiting for the arrival of the Masters from Tu Fan Country.
After a while, everyone's eyes lit up one after another. They all sensed several powerful auras coming from afar.
Not long after, under the leadership of Zhuo Wanlian and Mu Jintian, the Xiantian Masters from Tu Fan Country appeared.
Zhuo Wanlian laughed heartily and said, "Brother Zhan, Brother He, you're early."
His appearance was rough, and his voice was heavy like thunder. However, he only greeted the two One-Line-Sky masters. As for the other Xiantian Grandmasters, he ignored them and simply didn't put them in his eyes.
However, in the face of such an arrogant person, everyone could only look at each other and smile bitterly. They did not have any other thoughts and calmly accepted this.
Zhan Tianfeng and He Yiming stood up at the same time and greeted him. Then, their eyes fell on Mu Jintian behind him.
Not only the two of them, but everyone in the room was focused on him. At this moment, it seemed that Mu Jintian was more eye-catching than his Senior Brother Zhuo Wanlian.
Since his debut, Mu Jintian had been through hundreds of battles and the number of times he was defeated could be counted on one hand. Now, he was at the peak of Hundred Scatter Sky and was only one step away from breaking through to One-Line-Sky.
But at this moment, he had suffered the biggest failure in his life. Even Bu Xingcong, who was related to him by blood, had died in front of his eyes.
All of this had a great psychological impact on him. Although He Yiming said that Mu Jintian would definitely be able to break through his current realm, it was only a guess after all. Now that he had appeared in front of him, of course, he had to evaluate it with his own eyes.
When everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Jintian, they saw him smile calmly and bow slightly, "Mu Jintian greets Senior Zhan, Brother He, and all the other Grandmasters."
His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, even in front of the two One-Line-Sky powerhouses.
Moreover, He Yiming also sensed that his heart was truly calm, and he was not forcefully suppressing it. Even when facing He Yiming, his eyes were calm and there wasn't the slightest bit of hatred or resentment in them.
For a moment, He Yiming suddenly felt a strange feeling. He said in a clear voice, "Brother Mu, when you go back this time, are you going to go into closed-door training to break through to One-Line-Sky?"
Mu Jintian's face finally showed a hint of surprise, then he laughed and said, "Brother He has good eyesight. After this matter, I will follow Senior Brother back to the mountain gate and try to break through to One-Line-Sky."
His words were still extremely calm, as if this wasn't something that was directly related to his interests, but merely a trivial matter that wasn't worth mentioning.
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they looked at Mu Jintian with envy.
For these Xiantian Grandmasters, what could be more exciting than breaking through to One-Line-Sky?
Moreover, Mu Jintian was only 120 years old this year. To break through to One-Line-Sky at this age, he was definitely a genius among geniuses.
However, when everyone's gaze landed on He Yiming, it was inevitable that there would be a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
If Mu Jintian was a genius among geniuses, then what was He Yiming, who broke through to Hundred Scattered Sky at the age of 15 and One-Line-Sky at the age of 17?
After Zhan Tianfeng recovered from his daze, he smiled and said, "This old man wishes Brother Mu success and a smooth promotion."
Mu Jintian bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior."
Once again, everyone took their seats. However, the way they looked at Mu Jintian was slightly different from before. They faintly felt that perhaps in another one or two decades, there would be another One-Line-Sky Grandmaster in Tu Fan country.
Zhan Tianfeng glanced around and said in a clear voice, "Since everyone is here, let's start the trade fair."
Mao Lieguang immediately stood up from behind him and came to the round table, saying, "Since everyone is here in Kai Rong, then let us, the hosts, show our incompetence first."
He clapped his hands, and several big men walked in from outside the room.
These men were in high spirits, and their footsteps were steady. Even in front of many Xiantian Grandmasters, they were not afraid.
Each of them held a golden plate in their hands, on which some strange items were placed.
Some of them were herbs that had been picked and dried, some of them were pills that had already been successfully refined, and some of them were treasured artifacts that had already been created. There were also some strange and light trinkets, but he couldn't see anything strange about them.
They put the golden plates in their hands on the big round table in the middle of the room one by one, then bowed and left.
He Yiming's gaze circled around it twice, and his eyes finally revealed a trace of surprise.
Among the many items on the plate, he found a kind of herb.
If he remembered correctly, this herb was called sealwort.
The use of this herb was not widespread, and it even had a slight toxicity. However, this herb was an indispensable ingredient to refine the Face Retaining Pill.
There were many rare herbs planted in the Hengshan Mountain Range's herb garden. However, if he wanted to gather enough herbs to refine the Face Retaining Pill, he was still lacking a lot, and sealwort was one of them.
He secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he had learned a lot of alchemy in Hengshan and knew many precious medicinal herbs. This was especially true for the rare herbs that were not planted in the herb garden. Under the Medicine Man's supervision, he had memorized most of them. Otherwise, even if the sealwort were to appear in front of him today, he would not have been able to recognize it.
Mao Lieguang pointed at the golden plates on the table and said, "Everyone, these items are treasures that we picked from the treasury. If you need anything, feel free to choose."
Shui Xuan Jin and the others immediately stood up and walked around the round table silently. If they were interested in an item, they would stop for a moment on that item.
Everyone seemed to be abiding by some kind of rule, and even the arrogant Zhuo Wanlian and the calm Mu Jintian were no exception.
After a long while, someone finally made a move.
It was a Xiantian Master from the alliance of small countries, Xu Zechun. He took out a light yellow stone from his pocket and placed it next to a golden plate that held a jade bottle.
He Yiming already knew the rule here. If he liked something, he would take out the item that he thought was worth exchanging and place it next to the item he liked.
If the other party was willing to exchange, then the transaction was successful. If the other party thought it was not worth it, then the item would be taken back.
Of course, if there were more than one person interested in the same item, then the owner would choose the most suitable item to exchange.
During this process, everything was carried out quietly without the slightest noise.
Since the first person made a move, everyone was no longer reserved. After a while, several people took out their items and placed them next to the golden plate.
Mu Jintian also took a liking to an herb and placed a jade bottle next to the golden plate. Then, he returned to his seat and did not look at the other items.
As for Zhuo Wanlian, although he looked around, in the end, he shook his head slightly as if he was disdainful.
However, his attitude did not arouse the disgust of the others. After all, the experts of One-Line-Sky were different from the experts of Hundred Scatter Heaven. At least in terms of vision, there was a huge gap.
He Yiming looked carefully for a while and found an interesting phenomenon.
When one person made a move, even if there was a second person interested in the same item, they would not easily make a move.
He thought for a while and suddenly understood. There were many items here. Even if each person wanted two items, there would be more than enough.
In this case, unless they really encountered an item that they were determined to get, they would not force it.
Seeing this, He Yiming did not dare to be negligent. He immediately took out a wooden box, gently opened it, and placed it next to the plate of sealwort.
Now that He Yiming was an expert of One-Line-Sky, his every move immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
After seeing the contents of the wooden box, everyone looked at each other and the same thought flashed through their minds at the same time. He Yiming was determined to get the sealwort.
The item in the wooden box was a treasure that He Yiming had picked out from the treasury of the Tian Luo Kingdom.
It was a rare fruit called the Purlin Fruit.
Not only could it be used as a medicinal herb, but if it was swallowed directly, it would also be beneficial for Innate Experts who practiced Wood Attribute Cultivation Methods.
In terms of preciousness, this item was indeed above the sealwort.
Zhan Tianfeng's eyes flashed with a trace of light. He looked at Mao Lieguang in surprise and nodded slightly when he saw the inquiry in Mao Lieguang's eyes.
Mao Lieguang immediately understood, but he did not show any expression on his face.
Some of the people had returned to their seats, but some continued to wander around the round table. A few of them were still hesitant. It was obvious that they liked more than one item. However, it seemed that they were embarrassed or because the items they prepared were expensive, so they were not willing to exchange.
After a full quarter of an hour, everyone returned. On the round table, four-fifths of the gold plates had something next to them.
It could be seen that the item that Mao Lieguang took out was indeed very popular. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
