A small peak suspended somewhere near Aoki Peak in Aoki Hall.
Originally a thousand-foot circular square, for the purpose of hosting this trade fair, it was specially transformed into a huge palace with the same area as the previous square.
The space within the temple is cleverly divided into several widely spaced areas.
Each area has its own yard.
Between them, there are winding paths, corridors, or stone bridges.
Each courtyard is carefully designed and has its own characteristics, so that the powerful souls of each sect can rest and relieve the discomfort caused by space transmission.
After all, they would only use such a teleportation array once in decades or even hundreds of years.
Those courtyards are located inside and outside the temple.
A small lake with a width of 500 feet has been created in the center. The sun is shining and the water is mist. Being in it makes you feel like a fairyland.
In the center of the small lake stands a three-story stepped stone platform tens of feet high.
The top floor is about sixty feet in size, which is spacious enough.
On the spacious stone platform, a huge transplanted tree looks like a giant dragon entrenched here.
The trunk is five to six feet thick, with lush branches and leaves, like a giant umbrella, covering the entire stone platform.
Li Yuan and Yuan Yao were shocked when they saw the palace built by Qingmu Palace for this trade fair.
They originally thought that they could just choose any hall to hold the event.
After all, there are only a few Yuanshen realms from each sect, and there are only about twenty Yuanshi from Qingmu Palace.
"Is it necessary for Master Mu Peak to be so grand?"
While watching the venue, Mu Haochu stayed with Li Yuan and Li Yuan.
At this moment, several people were in a pavilion in a certain courtyard, overlooking the stone platform in the center of the small lake.
"Yes, yes." Mu Haochu said with a kind smile on his face, "Those old guys have a high status and cannot be neglected.
“If you do it too casually, it will damage the face of Qingmu Palace.
"After all, this elixir trade was initiated by the Aoki Palace, and you are now also a member of the Aoki Palace."
"This... okay... you guys are moving fast!" Li Yuan nodded helplessly, "How long until the auction starts?"
Mu Haochu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "There is less than an hour left.
"They also rested for a few days and are in good spirits. They will have enough energy to bid soon."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.
After introducing the general situation, Mu Haochu exited the room, leaving only Li Yuan and Yuan Yao waiting quietly for the trade fair to begin.
“I don’t know how many precious medicines the old guys have prepared.
"Hehe... There are no collections on the peaks of the Aoki Temple. I wonder how many there are on the Aoki Peak?"
Yuan Yao smiled slyly after seeing Mu Haochu leave.
"You..." Li Yuan smiled upon hearing this, "Judging from the speed at which they can provide level 5 materials for refining the medicine this time, calculated according to a certain ratio, there should be no less than 10,000 pieces of precious medicine collected on Qingmu Peak."
"So many!" Yuan Yao's eyes lit up.
“It is a rough guess, but I don’t know how many there are.
"They are the top forces on the continent and are famous for refining medicine. They have been passed down for countless years and have a rich collection.
"Coupled with the fact that there are so many disciples, we collect some and quite a few every year."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan looked at Yuan Yao and reminded: "With your current strength, don't use any crooked ideas."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao glanced at her mouth, rolled her eyes, and said, "Is there any difference between us? You are not the same."
………
"Woo——"
A clear flute sounded.
In the courtyard around the small lake, majestic aura immediately surged out, reaching the lowest level of the Yuan Shen realm.
"Li Yuan, get ready, the elixir trade will start soon." Mu Haochu came to the room and reminded.
"Yes." Li Yuan turned around and nodded, seeing Mu Chenyang coming together, "Does Master Mu also want to participate?"
Mu Haochu explained: “It is naturally inappropriate for the palace master to participate in such an occasion.
“However, after all, there are so many strong people coming.
"If something unexpected happens, the palace master will come forward and be able to shock him. After all, his identity is there.
"I'll just go down and say hello first."
At this moment, Li Yuan noticed that not only Mu Chenyang was here, but also four peak masters were also in the palace.
The other three Yuan Shen realm auras with several peak masters, which he had never seen before, should be other Supreme Elders of Qingmu Palace who have been in seclusion all year round.
Mu Chenyang looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while. Judging from your aura, it seems that your cultivation has improved again.
"In a few years, I won't be as good as I am."
Although he could not detect the fluctuations in the energy around Li Yuan, Mu Chenyang's eyesight was able to infer one or two things.
In addition, Yuan Yao's aura is much more powerful than before.
Recalling some of the previous events, I vaguely knew that the two people seemed to have some kind of special connection, and their cultivation levels had been improving simultaneously.
"Master Mu is joking.
"There shouldn't be many people in the entire continent who can compare with you."
Li Yuan did not respond directly.
After exchanging a few polite words, they turned their attention to the stone platform below.
Mu Chenyang was on the sidelines and introduced to Li Yuan the powerful Yuanshen realm masters from various major forces who had arrived at Shitai one after another.
The first ones to come out were the Yuan Masters from Jinling Mountain, and there were three in total.
The white-haired old man in the lead is Tu Mingshan of the Jin Ling lineage, who is in the middle stage of the Yuanshen realm.
The old man following him came from the spear lineage and was in the early stage of the Yuanshen realm.
The remaining old woman from the chakra blade lineage was also in the early stage of the Yuanshen realm.
Immediately afterwards, two middle-aged women wearing red and yellow brocade skirts walked out from the other direction.
Her hair was neatly combed into a bun, making her look dignified and a little charming.
They are Wen Tianyue and Lu Rong from Qianji Sect, both of whom are in the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm.
"Tu Mingshan, I didn't expect that Master Yu would send you to take the lead. It seems you are highly regarded by Master Yu.
"I'm afraid the next mountain lord will be from Jin Ling's lineage."
Wen Tianyue saw the three people in Jinling Mountain not far away and said with a smile.
“Sending me here is naturally based on my strength.
"As for the position of Mountain Lord, I am much older than Pavilion Master Yu. Don't make fun of me."
Tu Mingshan smiled faintly, but secretly cursed in his heart for instigating a relationship between him and the other two people.
After taking a look at Lu Rong who was walking alongside Wen Tianyue, Tu Mingshan sighed:
"It's rare for you this time to send two mid-stage Yuanshen realms at once, which is such a big deal.
"Isn't it a little too cautious?
"This is not like Qianjimen's style."
Lu Rong smiled when he heard this and said: "There is no way.
"Our sect is very thin and can only take out two people."
"Haha, who are you bickering here for?"
Tu Mingshan was about to continue to refute when a thunderous laughter came.
"Lei Yangyun?"
Hearing the sound, several strong men moved their gazes over at the same time.
The voice was quite familiar to them, and it held a lot of weight in their hearts.
“The strong man from Thunder Sound Valley?
"The peak of the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm?
"It seems that we have hit the mid-term barrier."
Above the pavilion, Li Yuan noticed the thunderous laughter and frowned slightly.
With such strength, he only looks middle-aged.
Men would not waste their essence on elixirs such as beautifying and fixing their appearance that were not helpful in cultivation.
And after careful inspection, he found that this man was only three hundred years old.
"Li Yuan, your ability to judge people's cultivation is extremely mysterious.
"You are only in the Nirvana realm, but you can tell at a glance that Lei Yangyun has touched the middle stage barrier."
Mu Chenyang on the side said in shock.
If he knew that Li Yuan could even tell the other person's age, I don't know how surprised he would be.
What's more, there is a treasure in the body that can be seen by the Yuan Zhe.
"Haha." Li Yuanqian smiled, "It's just some small tricks. It has to be matched with the unique ingot, so it won't be on the stage."
"This is no small trick."
Although he was calm on the outside, Mu Chenyang was feeling unhappy inside.
At the same time, he expressed doubts that Li Yuan came from the small Daxia in the Jinling Mountain area.
Connect the Qingmu Palace to Li Cheng's long-distance teleportation array, and add the elixirs refined before.
Mu Chenyang always felt that there was a hidden force behind Li Yuan that was more powerful than Qingmu Palace.
Not wanting to discuss this issue, Li Yuancha changed the subject and said, "Only Lei Yangyun came to Leiyin Valley this time?"
Mu Chenyang nodded and said: "We have reached the mid-term barrier and are one step away from the late stage.
“With the strength of the powerful Heavenly King, one person is enough.
"Lei Yangyun has an extraordinary talent, and the Yuan bones in his body evolved into Xuan bones very early.
“He has a weird personality and never pays attention to what is going on in Leiyin Valley.
"She should be focusing on cultivation and running towards the King of Heaven."
King of Heaven.
Li Yuan's heart trembled, he was the most powerful man on this continent.
"Dong dong dong——"
While the two were talking, a shaking sound came from below.
"The water-scaled ape of Tianling Sea, Yue Yue, is the peak of the middle stage of the Yuanshen Realm.
"The person next to him should be the human disciple he accepted, Pang Shuyun, who was recently promoted to the Yuanshen realm."
Mu Chenyang moved his eyes towards the source of the movement and introduced Li Yuan.
"Tian Ling..."
Looking at the ape beast that was nearly two feet tall and covered with blue scales, Li Yuan murmured in his heart: "His disciple is a newly promoted Yuanshen realm.
"Mr. Hongyu is in Tianlinghai. After solving his problems, will he step into that realm now?"
As the powerful men from Tianlinghai entered the scene, the Yuan Shen Realm of Yuzhao Sect and Xuanhuo Sect appeared one after another.
Three people came from the Yuzhao Sect, and so did Qu. Xin Hongkang and Gong Jin were both at the peak of the early Yuanshen realm.
They have the help of local demons and are not weak in strength.
As for the Xuanhuo Sect, only two strong men came here, Tang Yin who was in the middle stage of the Yuanshen Realm and Ji Hanyun who was at the peak of the early Yuanshen Realm.
The six major forces dispatched thirteen Yuan Shen realms for this elixir trade fair.
There are strong men who have reached the mid-term barrier, and there are also new Yuanshen realms.
It shows that they all attach great importance to this trade fair.
"Everyone is here. Go down, you are the protagonist." Mu Chenyang smiled at Li Yuan.
"Yes." Li Yuan did not refute, nodded slightly, then patted Yuan Yao and said, "You don't have to go down, don't cause trouble."
When the little girl heard this, she glared at him and asked with her eyes, am I so unreliable?
………
On the circular stone platform in the center of the lake, Mu Haochu waved his wide sleeves gracefully.
Following his gesture, thirteen colorful rays of light slowly fell, drawing beautiful arcs over the lake.
These rays of light fell on the stone platform and turned into six sets of large stone tables and chairs.
The shape and design of each set of tables and chairs appear simple and elegant, and they are all engraved with different patterns.
The stone tables and chairs look more eye-catching under the reflection of the lake, emitting a faint blue light.
"Everyone, please take a seat, the elixir trade will begin soon." Mu Haochu said with a smile.
After all the powerful men took their seats, Li Yuan slowly appeared.
"Li Yuan...why are you here?"
Seeing the blue-robed young man, the old woman from the Jinlingshan Wheel Blade line immediately stood up, her Yuan Power surged uncontrollably.
Since the battle at Qian Jue Chan Ridge, all elder-level figures in their lineage have portraits of Li Yuan, not to mention her.
"Yisang from Jinling Mountain, right?
"What? You want to settle your grudges with me before the elixir trade fair?"
In the pavilion, Mu Chenyang also introduced this person to Li Yuan. After all, they had some grudges.
Seeing that the other party was gritting his teeth and eager to give it a try, Li Yuan raised his palm and made a gesture of invitation.
At the same time, his energy exploded without reservation, and he smiled lightly and said: "If you take action today, you can end the matter completely, I will be happy to accompany you."
“The pinnacle of Nirvana.”
Yi Sang frowned slightly, knowing that Li Yuan had the ability to fight at a higher level, so she might not be able to completely catch him with her attacks.
What's more, this is the place where Qingmu Temple belongs.
“Don’t lose interest in doing business today.
"Yisang, please give Qingmu Temple some face, how about that?"
Mu Haochu said with a smile.
He was afraid that Li Yuan would cause some trouble.
If he really wanted to take action, he didn't think Yi Sang could get any benefits from Li Yuan.
Hearing this, the old woman snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, gathered her breath, and sat down.
Mu Haochu winked at Li Yuan and said cheerfully: "You are the protagonist today."
"Li Yuan, this name seems familiar."
Qu Yiran of Yuzong Sect suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked: "Mu Haochu, among the list of protected people given by Qingmu Palace to participate in the competition between gods and demons, there is also a person named Li Yuan. Could it be him?"
After laughing twice, Mu Haochu nodded and said: "To be honest with you, Li Yuan has now officially joined the Qingmu Palace.
"And he is the captain of this year's Aoki Temple team that the gods and demons aspire to win."
team leader?
Hearing this title, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with confusion.
He glanced at Mu Haochu without revealing anything, and said through a message: "When did you decide on the captaincy? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you that you would agree?" Mu Haochu smiled slyly as if it was a fact.
At this time, Yi Sang's face was ashen. She had just attacked Li Yuan, and Mu Haochu revealed her identity. She was in danger.
Once the list was announced, Li Yuan was protected by various sects, and other Yuanshen realms had to take action to stop Yi Sang.
Even the other two Jin Lingshan must follow this rule.
At this time, Li Yuan felt uncomfortable and felt that he had been tricked.
Now in front of so many strong men, it was hard for him to say otherwise.
Showing a somewhat ugly smile, Li Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Seniors, if I encounter your team, please ask them to be merciful."
"Hey...little friend Li Yuan, what are you talking about?
"The team at the Aoki Temple probably hasn't seen Nirvana in a thousand years, let alone the peak.
"With you in charge, the team that will succeed this year should be you."
Lei Yangyun looked like he had a good relationship with him, and he didn't seem to have touched the barrier of a strong person in the middle stage of Yuanshen at all.
Mu Haochu smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay! Let's get back to the topic. Today's elixir trade will be hosted by Li Yuan."
Hearing this, Li Yuan did not refuse and walked to the giant tree entrenched in the wind.
