This guy … "
Ye Chen had mixed feelings as he looked at the familiar face that he had not seen in a long time in the room next door. However, he was extremely surprised.
Who else could it be but Yang Tian?
He never thought that he would be able to see this guy in the black market of Tianyuan City. Furthermore, the two of them were only a room apart.
Just as he was stunned, Yang Tian in the room next door said again, "Elder Quan, do you think I angered the owner of this black market by killing that old thing in front of everyone?"
"Young master, don't worry!"
An old man wearing a bamboo hat in front of him smiled faintly and said, "Not to mention that the auction hasn't officially started yet, even if the people from the black market want to touch us, they have to think twice."
With that, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The merfolk were able to survive in the Yin Ruins for countless years. As the overlord of the Yin Ruins' outer area, they were naturally not existences that anyone could provoke. Moreover, they had sent three people this time.
Yang Tian nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved."
The three of them had no idea that Ye Chen was watching their every word and action even though they had opened the merfolk's treasure, the Heavenly Heart Soul Lock Tent.
"Looks like the rumors are true. Yang Tian really obtained some fortuitous encounter. Moreover, his status in the merfolk isn't low!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of his lips. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that Yang Tian's true cultivation base was at Peak God Transformation Stage at the moment. The same was true for the old man wearing a bamboo hat who was accompanying him.
Just as he was about to go out and meet Yang Tian, a deafening bell suddenly rang in the silent hall.
Hearing this commotion, many people's expressions froze. They could not help but look towards the source of the sound. They saw an old man with white hair and beard, who looked like he was on the verge of death, slowly appear in everyone's line of sight in the distorted space.
The moment he appeared, a terrifying pressure and Dao patterns spread out in the entire hall, causing the expressions of countless people to change.
"Half-step Void Refinement Stage!"
Some people who came for the first time secretly gasped. Clearly, they did not expect such an existence to exist in this extremely secretive spatial trade fair.
"Sorry for the long wait!"
After the white-haired old man looked around the hall, his voice rang out in everyone's ears, "Many of my old friends here know me, and there are also fellow daoists who have come to the space trade fair for the first time."
"Before the auction, let me introduce myself. This old man is Old Man Black Heaven, currently the steward of the spatial trade fair."
The white-haired old man was neither fast nor slow, but no one present showed the slightest bit of impatience. Instead, they listened very quietly.
At this moment, an old man came forward and whispered a few words into the old man's ear. He would occasionally look at Yang Tian's room, as if he was reporting everything that had happened earlier.
Old Man Black Heaven calmly glanced at Yang Tian's room. There was no expression on his face. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the space he was in suddenly contracted violently, as if it had become a cage that trapped him within.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the space auction has officially begun!"
Within the distorted space barrier, Old Man Black Heaven's right arm trembled, and a crystal coffin immediately appeared in the air before him.
The crystal coffin was no more than two meters long, and its entire body emitted a bone-piercing chill. If one looked closely, they would discover that there seemed to be a figure sealed in ice in the coffin.
With the appearance of the ice coffin, the gazes of Yang Tian and the other two in the room next to Ye Chen's turned cold, and they sat up in shock.
"This is a Level Eight merman. He was only a step away from Level Nine when he was alive!"
Under everyone's gazes, Old Man Black Heaven spoke with fervor and assurance, "Everyone, I'm sure you all know what a Rank 8 Merman represents. His status in the Merman Tribe is equivalent to that of an elder, and his bloodline can be considered sacred. Most importantly, his body has nurtured the Lightning Spirit Bead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet hall was immediately filled with uproars.
"Level Eight merman, it's actually a Level Eight merman!"
"This space trade fair is really bold. They actually took out a merman to auction. Don't they know that the Merfolk Clan has always valued their clansmen and bloodline? Anyone who dares to covet their clansmen is equivalent to becoming enemies with the entire Merfolk Clan!"
"A Level Eight merman has long condensed a sacred bloodline. His fat is like a lamp that will never be extinguished for ten thousand years. The silk he weaves is as light as a feather, and his scales can cure all diseases and prolong his lifespan …"
"…"
Hearing the discussions around him, Old Man Black Heaven, who was within the space barrier, smiled slightly, as if he had expected this.
"How dare you!"
Even Ye Chen was shocked. Then, he looked at the room where Yang Tian was by instinct. He saw that the three of them could no longer control the killing intent in their bodies.
"These bastards!"
Yang Tian's face was livid, and his eyes were about to spit fire.
The Merfolk Clan had treated him well. It could be said that he had long treated the Merfolk Clan as his family. Now that he saw someone taking out a merman to auction, how could he not be furious?
"Young master, don't be rash!"
Elder Quan took a deep breath in and said coldly, "If I'm not wrong, this merman is young mistress' sister, Princess Xuan Ling, who has been missing for more than ten years. I didn't expect her to be killed like this!"
"That's right, young master. The more it's like this, the calmer we have to be!"
The other old man in the bamboo hat also suppressed his anger and said, "The plan now is to bring Princess Xuan Ling's body back first. After reporting to the patriarch, we'll settle the score with these bastards!"
Yang Tian clenched his fists tightly and let out a long breath, "Alright, no matter what price we have to pay, we must bring my sister-in-law's body back!"
"Everyone, this merman was provided by a fellow cultivator who wishes to remain anonymous. This fellow cultivator wants a wood-type cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the Void Refinement stage or five million spirit stones!"
Old Man Black Heaven smiled as he sized up everyone.
Void Refinement stage cultivation technique?
Hearing this request, many people's expressions changed slightly. Clearly, they did not expect the other party to have such a huge appetite. A Void Refinement stage cultivation technique was a top-notch treasure even in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent again, as if they were weighing the gains and losses.
A moment later, a hoarse voice sounded, "I'll take this!"
Everyone looked over and saw a dark light suddenly shooting towards Old Man Black Heaven from a room on the second floor.
Old Man Black Heaven took it and saw that it was a scroll. After imprinting his Divine Consciousness into it for a few seconds, he nodded slightly and said again, "This fellow has offered a Void Refinement stage wood-type cultivation technique. Is there a higher bid?"
Everyone fell silent. Clearly, they felt that it was not worth it, or they could not produce a Void Refinement stage cultivation technique.
At that moment, Yang Tian, who was next to Ye Chen, suddenly said, "We don't have a wood-type Void Refinement stage cultivation technique. Can we have a fire-type cultivation technique? Or are we willing to offer six million spirit stones in exchange? "
