"Very good, now for the third item!" The tall old man showed a rare smile and nodded.
Because he couldn't leave Silent Hill, the tall old man began to put down his pride a long time ago and traded items with the various forces of the Greencloud Lower Continent from time to time. Then, everyone would take what they needed and leave. Everyone would mind their own business and live in peace.
However, because Silent Hill was a dangerous place, even if someone wanted to trade, they must first ensure that they could reach here alive before they could trade. Therefore, there were very few people who came here to trade with the tall old man. It might be every hundred years that someone could reach here alive and continue to trade.
However, even if they reached here, most of the things taken out by the people of the Qingyun Lower Continent were not satisfactory. Most of the things were trash in the eyes of the tall old man and had no exchange value at all. Therefore, a truly effective trade might not happen once in thousands of years.
This time, the things that Xiao Fan took out were of extraordinary value and were all things that he urgently needed, so how could the tall old man not be happy? The way he looked at Xiao Fan became more and more pleasing to the eye.
"The third item, ghost corpse fruit!" Xiao Fan took out the half-broken gray fruit disguised by an unknown fruit core, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Ghost corpse fruit? You actually managed to get your hands on this thing? " Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the tall old man's face suddenly changed. His eyes opened slightly, shooting out a bloody light, and then there was a trace of surprise in his voice.
"Yes!" Xiao Fan smiled calmly and said.
"Ghost corpse fruit!" Hearing this name, Leng Qiuyan was also moved. Her drooping eyes flashed with a trace of trembling.
The ghost corpse fruit was rarer than the nether stone.
Although the Netherworld Stone was rare, if one were to concentrate on looking for it, one could still find it, but it would take a lot of effort. However, the Ghost Corpse Fruit was different. This thing was not something that could be found by concentrating on looking for it. Whether or not one could find it depended on one's luck and whether or not one had the luck to find it!
The reason for this was that the formation of the ghost corpse fruit was very difficult.
The Ghost-corpse Fruit was said to be a fruit that would naturally grow from the head of a corpse that had regained its intelligence after death.
After the death of a person, it was an incredible thing for the corpse to be reborn with intelligence. After the corpse died again, whether the ghost corpse fruit could grow in the head depended on the probability. There was a high probability that the ghost corpse fruit would not form, so the two extremely low probabilities added together made the appearance of the ghost corpse fruit almost impossible.
It was no wonder that the tall old man was surprised by such a rare thing.
"Where did you get this thing?" The tall old man slowly closed his eyes, seemingly taking a deep breath, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Like I said before, this is a private secret, so I'm sorry, I can't tell you!" Xiao Fan shook his head and said with a smile.
"It seems that you're not a simple kid!" The tall old man didn't ask again after Xiao Fan didn't answer, but his whole body suddenly became silent. Although he closed his eyes, it was obvious that he was' staring 'at Xiao Fan, sizing up Xiao Fan.
After a while, he opened his mouth again and said in a low voice, "Dayan Holy Land, that group of pedantic little guys, can actually teach a disciple like you?"
"With a young generation like you, when you take over the power of the Dayan Holy Land in the future, the Dayan Holy Land will at least survive for thousands of years. So I have to say that the Dayan Holy Land is really lucky!"
Hearing the tall old man's words, Leng Qiuyan closed her mouth and didn't say a word, fearing that she would reveal any flaws. Xiao Fan didn't care and smiled, then said, "Thank you for your kind words, but there's no need for unnecessary words. I've taken out my third item, so it's your turn to bid!"
"To be honest, after seeing the Ghost Corpse Fruit, I really don't want to follow the rules of the trade anymore. I really want to kill you and rob you!" The tall old man didn't immediately bid, but he sneered. Suddenly, his voice became cold and filled with strong killing intent as he stared at Xiao Fan and said coldly.
Hearing the tall old man's words, Leng Qiuyan's heart suddenly jumped, her blood spurted, and a trace of uncontrollable fear appeared in her eyes.
The tall old man's strength was absolutely unquestionable. If he really wanted to kill, then …!
However, Xiao Fan was unperturbed. He did not care about the killing intent and coldness that was being emitted from the tall old man's body as a smile appeared on his face.
"It's not that you can't kill me, but before you do, you'd better think about two consequences!" Xiao Fan said with a smile, "First, I can make the Human and Ghost Soup, find the Nether Stone, and get the Ghost Corpse Fruit. This is enough to prove that I'm a 100% money tree!"
"And as long as I'm alive, then I can get more rare things. The Ghost Corpse Fruit is rare, but there are even rarer things than the Ghost Corpse Fruit. Are you sure you want to kill me and rob me, and then do something stupid like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the tall old man's eyes suddenly froze, and he didn't speak.
"Second, when I came in to trade with you, did you think I didn't consider the possible consequences of being killed and robbed by you?" Xiao Fan continued to say with a smile, "Entering Silent Hill to trade with you, this matter is led by you, and the trading rules are also set by you. But if one day, you don't want to follow the rules, in fact, there is no way to restrict you in the whole trading process!"
"However, you didn't kill and rob people before; instead, you abided by the trading rules that you set. The reason is that the items that you traded with them are not worth killing and robbing. Additionally, you want to keep trading with them. If you kill and rob people, nobody would dare to trade with you anymore. Some of the items that you need would be cut off forever. You would rust and mold in Silent Hill forever, nobody would care about you!"
"And in this trade, I'm very clear about the value of the things I brought. So, although you have never killed and robbed, and have never broken the trading rules you set, I still have to be careful!"
"Before I left, I specially borrowed the ultimate treasure of my Daye Holy Land, the Deepsea Chain, from the elders of my Daye Holy Land. You should be aware of the might of the Deepsea Chain. Once it's activated, it's sufficient to lock you within your violet gold coffin for 10,000 years!"
"So, I want to ask again, are you sure you want to kill and rob?"
Xiao Fan smiled as he looked at the tall old man and asked for confirmation. It was as if he really did have the Profound Sea Chains and could take them out in the next second and lock the tall old man up.
"Profound Sea Chain!" When the tall old man heard Xiao Fan say this thing, his expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
In fact, he did not care about the various forces of the Greencloud Lower Continent, such as the Black Heaven Sect, the Daye Holy Ground, and the Tuoba family, because to him, they were just the younger generation of the Greencloud Lower Continent. However, he had to admit that whether it was the Black Heaven Sect, the Daye Holy Ground, or the Tuoba family, they all had some very deadly things in their hands. Once activated, it would definitely be a fate worse than death.
The Profound Sea Chain was one of them.
Logically speaking, the Profound Sea Chain was a deadly thing that only appeared in the Middle Continent and the Upper Continent. However, in the Greencloud Lower Continent, the Daye Holy Ground had somehow obtained the Profound Sea Chain from somewhere, and it had become one of the sect treasures of the Daye Holy Ground.
If what Xiao Fan said was true, and he had the Profound Sea Chain given to him by the higher-ups of the Daye Holy Ground, then it would be better not to kill and rob. Otherwise, he would not be able to gain anything from it!
After a moment of silence, the killing intent and chill on the tall old man's body slowly dissipated. After that, he did not say anything else. Instead, he slowly took out a yellowed ancient book and slowly opened his mouth, "Myriad Swords Sect, Myriad Swords Return to One Technique!"
"Myriad Sword Sect, Myriad Sword Technique?" Leng Qiuyan was a little confused because she had never heard of the Myriad Sword Sect. However, the Little Bastard who had been silent all this time muttered in a low voice. "Myriad Sword Sect? Isn't that the only overlord of the Greencloud Lower Continent? The Myriad Sword Technique is the number one cultivation technique of the Myriad Sword Sect! "
"The only overlord of the Greencloud Lower Continent?" Leng Qiuyan's expression changed when she heard the Little Bastard's muttering. This was because she just remembered that in the last page of the Crimson Canon, there was a vague mention of some things that happened in the Greencloud Lower Continent 20,000 years ago.
According to the Crimson Canon, about 20,000 years ago, the Greencloud Lower Continent was one of the most powerful among the 72 lower continents of the Central imperial realm. The entire Greencloud Lower Continent was ruled by a single overlord sect.
This overlord sect's strength was simply unparalleled. Although it was located in a lower continent, even the powerful forces in the Central Continent couldn't do anything to it. It could be said to be the most tyrannical existence among all the forces in the 72 lower continents of the Central imperial realm.
Today, the Profound Heaven Sect, Dayan Sacred Ground, Tuoba family, Zhan Wuzong, Greedy Wolf Sect, and many other forces in the Greencloud Lower Continent were a small part of this overlord sect. Although they seemed powerful and frightening, they were still far from being comparable to this overlord sect.
And now, Leng Qiuyan finally found out that this overlord sect was called the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Myriad Sword Technique, the number one cultivation technique of the Myriad Sword Sect!" Leng Qiuyan was at a loss for words.
How powerful the Myriad Sword Sect was in the past could be seen from the bits and pieces of written records in the Crimson Chamber. The number one cultivation technique of the Myriad Sword Sect was probably unimaginably powerful.
Although the Dragoncry Ancient Sword and the Immortal Heavenly Pill that the tall old man took out were also very precious, they were still far from being comparable to this Myriad Sword Technique.
After all, although the Dragoncry Ancient Sword was very powerful, its quality was still slightly inferior. For the fifth and sixth transformation of the Six Transformations, it was still not attractive enough. As for the Immortal Heavenly Pill, it was only attractive to those who were nearing the end of their lifespan. For those in the prime of their lives, it didn't matter if they didn't have it.
However, the Myriad Sword Technique was different. It was an effective way to surpass the Six Transformations and reach a higher cultivation realm. No matter who it was, it was a treasure among treasures.
However, Xiao Fan's answer stunned Leng Qiuyan!
"No, this thing's value isn't enough. It's not worthy of my Ghost-corpse Fruit!" Xiao Fan looked at the Myriad Sword Technique and actually shook his head to refuse.
"What?" Hearing this, Leng Qiuyan almost cried out.
Xiao Fan took out a fake Ghost-corpse Fruit to deceive the tall old man, and the tall old man was temporarily fooled and believed that it was real. After taking out such a precious thing, Xiao Fan actually said no. If it was her, she would have agreed immediately.
"No?" The tall old man's eyes slightly opened. A heart-palpitating blood light bloomed and a chill suddenly spread from his body.
"Yes, no!" Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "The Myriad Sword Technique of the Myriad Sword Sect is indeed very precious and I really want it. However, compared to my Ghost-corpse Fruit, it's still a bit lacking!"
"The Ghost-corpse Fruit, even in the Central Region and the Upper Region, there would be a large number of people fighting for it. Moreover, the cultivation technique that they can take out will not be worse than the Myriad Sword Technique. So, no, you have to change it to something better!"
"Boy, don't be too greedy!" The tall elder said in a deep voice, "The Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Technique is enough for you. Don't push your luck. Besides, you have to know that although some things are more precious, they are not things that people in your realm can use, possess, and master!"
"Then you don't have to worry about it!" Xiao Fan smiled and said, "The principle of my exchange is that I only exchange for things of equal value. If the value is not equal, even if that thing is useful to me, I don't want it. If I want it, I want the best. If it is not the best, I would rather not have it!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the tall old man became silent and began to stay motionless. It seemed that he was making a decision.
However, Xiao Fan was not in a hurry. He sat there quietly and leisurely waited for the tall old man to take out something better. It was as if he was not worried at all that the tall old man would take the risk out of desperation, attack, and rob him!
After a while!
"Boy, for so many years, you are one of the few people who dare to bargain with me like this. Not bad, you have guts!" The tall old man nodded. It was hard to tell whether his voice was happy or angry. He said coldly, "Well, then I will do as you wish!"
As his voice faded, the tall old man flipped his hand and put away the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Technique. Following which, he took out a fist-sized piece of gold and carefully placed it in the air between Xiao Fan and him.
This fist-sized piece of gold wasn't too strange by itself. What was strange was that there was a purple grass growing on the top of this piece of gold. This purple grass was swaying gently in the breeze, constantly emitting an indescribable fragrance!
