The dao discussion was also a trade fair, lasting for half a month. During this time, everyone could trade or discuss the dao. Each dao discussion would have a theme.
The theme of this dao discussion was the demise of the ancient gold race.
Ye Kong and the Eighth Prince arrived at the venue. This was a large pavilion built on a high cliff on Origin.
Standing on this antique pavilion, one could see the straight cliff above and the bottomless abyss below. On one side was the Meng Lord's List filled with bright red names, and on the other was a tunnel cut into the cliff. Looking into the distance, one could see a sea of gold.
Standing on it, one's mood was much better.
"The extinction of the ancient gold race was due to internal strife! Their people had different minds, and they sabotaged each other. The experts of the race only cared for themselves, and the clansmen hated the strong. The strong did not take care of their clansmen, and in the end, they died in internal strife! "
"Of course not! I feel that the extinction of the ancient gold race was due to a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster! The ancient records say that when the Dao Sea overflowed, all life was devoured. Everything returned to samsara, came from infinity, and returned to infinity! "
"I feel that it was both natural and man-made disasters!"
Ye Kong and the Eighth Prince walked over. Listening to these people talk, they had nothing to say.
Although Ye Kong liked to meddle in other people's business, there were some things, such as the ancient gold race, that he did not care too much about.
He was more concerned about the people present. Back then, he had heard that this dao discussion was a gathering of experts. Today, he saw that it was just so-so.
Almost everyone present was an ancient giant with a single art source. Most of them were chatting with each other and exchanging items. Only a few people who looked like they had nothing better to do were arguing about the destruction of the Gold Race, their faces red with anger.
Ye Kong walked around the area and realized that most of the people were wearing long robes. They were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed. In front of them was a sign with the words' Exchanging a certain type of source for a certain type of source 'written on it. They were all here to exchange for items.
The Eighth Crown Prince said, "I've been cultivating the Void Purification Life Technique recently, and I've gained a lot of insight. It's also very effective. I heard that there's a type of Mortal Heart Pill that has a certain effect on Wandering. If you have it, you must buy some."
Many experts were willing to buy a pill that had the effect of wandering, even if it had only a little effect. Therefore, it was very expensive, and only people like the Eighth Prince could afford it.
Ye Kong, on the other hand, was paying attention to the spiritual sources. He had finished refining the first spiritual source, and now it was time to consider the second spiritual source.
Although the Dao Race's treasure vessel was rich in wealth, these rare magic sources were also rare.
"A sliver of a real and illusory source!" Ye Kong saw a lonely figure in the distance with a sign in front of him. He immediately walked over.
"Fellow Daoist, I wonder how you intend to exchange for a strand of your Ethereal Source?" Ye Kong asked. The people around him had all indicated what they wanted, but this person didn't specify what he wanted. Looking at how this person was standing there alone, it was obvious that the price of the item was very high.
However, Ye Kong needed a second spiritual source right now, so he couldn't care less about the price.
When this giant opened his eyes, there was more white than black in his eyes. He didn't look like a good person. He said, "What do you have?"
Ye Kong really didn't have much, but the eighth Dao Race's treasure vessel was his warehouse. What did he not have? However, the Eighth Prince took a step forward and said, "What do you want? If our Dao Race can't afford it, I'm afraid others won't be able to either."
The giant said, "I need a supreme-grade spiritual source."
"Your price is too high."
The real and illusory spiritual source was only a supreme-grade spiritual source. Since they were of the same level, exchanging a sliver for someone else's spiritual source was too black-hearted.
However, this person was not easy to talk to. He immediately closed his eyes and ignored Ye Kong and the others.
The Eighth Prince snorted coldly and said, "A fixed price? I don't believe that you're the only one selling real and illusory spiritual sources in the entire Mountain of Origin!"
The person closed his eyes and said, "Go ahead."
The two of them immediately left. When they walked around, they realized that these seven spiritual sources were indeed in short supply! Even the water and fire spiritual sources that Ye Kong was using now had reached a sky-high price. One or two slivers could be exchanged for a supreme-grade spiritual source.
"F * ck my ancestors. If that's the case, I'll condense the water and fire spiritual sources and sell them in the future. Won't I be able to make a lot of money?"
The Eighth Prince raised his head and said, "It might not be worth it. Condensing this water and fire spiritual source will cost you an uncountable amount of water and fire spiritual sources. You'll also have to spend a lot of time and effort. It doesn't look like it's worth it."
Ye Kong said, "The crux of the matter is that I haven't completely refined the Power Embryo. If I succeed, my elemental energy will reach a terrifying peak. When that time comes, the success rate of condensing such spiritual sources will increase by a lot. Therefore, I'll buy a large number of real and illusory spiritual sources and refine them myself. "
What Ye Kong was considering now was not entirely about whether it was worth it or not.
He could exchange one spiritual source for a sliver of spiritual source. However, the real and illusory spiritual sources were few in number. Most of them had to be condensed by himself, so he might as well condense them all at once.
Condensing spiritual sources depended on the strength of one's elemental energy.
Ye Kong's elemental energy was already very strong, but he often failed. The other magnates' chances of failure were even higher. Therefore, many people were willing to pay a high price to purchase spiritual sources.
Ye Kong and the Eighth Prince walked around, but they didn't find what they wanted, so they wanted to leave. They felt that the Dao Discussion Conference was meaningless.
Just as he was about to leave, he happened to pass by a few people who were debating. One of them suddenly grabbed Ye Kong's hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you help me tell if the ancient gold clan perished because of a natural disaster?"
Another person beside him immediately retorted, "Fellow Daoist, don't be unable to tell right from wrong! The ancient gold clan clearly perished because of a man-made disaster! "
Yet another person came over and advised, "Aiya, I'm talking about a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. Both, both."
Ye Kong was stunned. His gaze moved and he had an idea. He pointed to a magnate who was sitting on the ground not far away. On this person's shoulder was a very nimble bird. This bird could speak and was helping its owner to discuss business with someone.
"If you want my opinion, I can only show you that bird." Ye Kong flung that person's hand away.
The people debating were all curious. Someone was stunned for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that the ancient gold clan was like that bird? They were enslaved by humans and their entire clan perished?"
The person beside him said, "No, no. I think what this fellow Daoist is saying is that the ancient gold clan doesn't know when to back down. Its owner doesn't speak, but it's spouting nonsense!"
Ye Kong had already walked far away. He turned back and said, "Everyone, what I mean is that the ancient gold clan has nothing to do with you!"
As soon as he said that, everyone on the platform burst into laughter, including those who were selling their goods.
A man with a black mustache walked in front of Ye Kong and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, your words are very humorous. Hongmeng Ye Kong is indeed impressive."
