Chapter 704: Chapter 701: The Exchange Begins_1
Without a doubt, this was a very suitable opportunity for him at the moment.
Although he didn’t know why Li Ruoxiang brought Yang Chen to the Exchange Meeting in the Earth Martial Realm, what did it matter to him? He only knew that Yang Chen shouldn’t have come to such a place, he was not worthy. His presence here was simply tarnishing the reputation of the Green Lotus Sect!
“You’re really something, Li Ruoxiang! I respected you as the Sect Leader, but I never thought you’d be so unreasonable. Rules? You’re telling me about rules? Can he bring out anything decent? He can’t!” Zhang Huai snarled: “You may not be ashamed, but I, Zhang Huai, am! Bringing him here is a disgrace to the Green Lotus Sect!”
In an instant, many people around burst into laughter.
“The Green Lotus Sect is fighting amongst themselves, haha!”
“Hehe, you probably didn’t know, but Zhang Huai and Li Ruoxiang never got along in the first place!”
With so many spectators around, Li Ruoxiang felt somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, it was quite a stretch for her to bring Yang Chen with her. In the past, bringing a follower of the True Martial Realm to broaden their horizons was not unusual. Giving them a treasure as a gift to impress others would be acceptable.
However, bringing a junior of the Origin Martial Realm like this was unprecedented!
Nevertheless, Li Ruoxiang still did so. She couldn’t refuse Yang Chen because she owed him, even if it wasn’t in accordance with the rules, she had to bring him here.
Yet, when challenged by Zhang Huai, she found it quite awkward to counter.
But just as she was struggling to refute, Yang Chen suddenly said, “Great Elder Zhang Huai, do you mean that if I can produce something decent, I can participate in this Exchange Meeting?”
“In theory, yes. But Yang Chen, can you?” Zhang Huai sneered. “Your genius title is indeed genuine, but do you think none of us Earth Martial Realm old fellows were geniuses when we were young? Don’t project your sense of superiority onto us, as there is a gap between us that you cannot surpass. The powerful ones in the Earth Martial Realm are not as simple as you think! You cannot even comprehend our experiences and knowledge.”
Zhang Huai’s words resonated with many people.
Indeed, when they were young, who among these powerful Earth Martial Realm cultivators was not a genius?
It was only now that they had aged and been forgotten.
These so-called geniuses were nothing in front of these powerful Earth Martial Realm cultivators. Many individuals with immense potential in their youth had ultimately perished.
Yang Chen listened to Zhang Huai’s words and shook his head with a smile.
He knew very well that talking was not as convincing as presenting something substantial.
Feeling too lazy to waste any more words, he directly turned his hand over and took out an elixir pill he had meticulously prepared this time from his Storage Bag.
As soon as the elixir was revealed, Zhang Huai subconsciously sneered, wanting to mock Yang Chen for bringing out such a pill, and how it could not enter their discerning eyes as old fellows. But when he was about to ridicule, he realized that something was wrong!
This…
This elixir was actually!
“Yuanhe Liuyun Pill!”
“This is a Yuanhe Liuyun Pill!”
Many people couldn’t help but show greed in their eyes as they were stunned.
The Yuanhe Liuyun Pill could unconditionally raise a True Martial Realm cultivator by one level. While it might not be of much use to them, powerful Earth Martial Realm cultivators, everyone had juniors and disciples. Who wouldn’t want to bring this elixir back for their juniors to use?
Although they could easily obtain a Qingming Zhenyuan Pill, getting a Yuanhe Liuyun Pill like this was quite difficult.
“I wonder if having this elixir in hand qualifies me to participate in this Exchange Meeting?” Yang Chen looked at Zhang Huai, whose expression was growing increasingly awkward.
Zhang Huai asked excitedly, “Where did you get this elixir from?”
“Great Elder, I think you’ve forgotten that I’m an Alchemist.” Yang Chen revealed a grin: “Isn’t it quite normal for an Alchemist to produce some elixir pills?”
“An Alchemist!”
“Such a young Alchemist?”
“This kid can even refine a Yuanhe Liuyun Pill, are you kidding me?”
“On the contrary, I think it’s true. Look at Zhang Huai’s expression! He can’t even refute the kid’s words. Besides, you all know that the Green Lotus Sect doesn’t have an Alchemist who can refine Sixth-grade High-order Elixirs, let alone such a secret elixir like the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill!”
Zhang Huai indeed could not refute Yang Chen’s words because he remembered the pill battle from last time very clearly. He just couldn’t believe that Yang Chen could actually refine a Sixth-grade High-order elixir like this.
But how could he admit defeat verbally? Zhang Huai snorted fiercely, “Humph, what’s so great about the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill? It only increases the Martial Arts Cultivation of a True Martial Realm cultivator. None of us in the Earth Martial Realm are interested in it!”
He thought that others would echo his words, but he was mistaken.
An old man laughed: “Yang Chen, right? Young friend Yang Chen, I am Hu Qingshan of the Jin Yang Sect in Wood Dragon County. I am quite interested in this Yuanhe Liuyun Pill. If you have any extra, be sure to save one for me!”
“Hehe, young friend Yang Chen, what do you want in exchange for this elixir?”
The number of people trying to strike up a conversation increased, and Yang Chen naturally responded to them one by one.
This made Zhang Huai’s face even more unbearable. Seeing these people’s reactions to the Yuanhe Liuyun Pill, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face!
Zhang Huai stood aside, grinding his teeth in anger but powerless to do anything.
As time passed, another half an incense stick burned away, and most of the powerful Earth Martial Realm cultivators gradually gathered.
Half an incense stick later, it seemed that the Earth Martial Realm powerhouses had arrived, and the Exchange Meeting officially commenced. The first to take the stage was an elder from the main city, the City Lord’s representative. According to Li Ruoxiang, his name was Gao Yunchang, and his Martial Arts Cultivation was not low, having reached the Sixth Level of the Earth Martial Realm!
When Gao Yunchang appeared, he took out a piece of copper and iron directly.
“Anyone with discerning eyes should be able to recognize this copper iron!” Gao Yunchang said.
“Is this Diamond Iron?”
“Indeed, it is the Diamond Iron that can repair any damaged Formation Device! It is said that this iron can be used with any material, making it a truly extraordinary treasure!”
“I happen to have a Formation Device that needs Diamond Iron to be repaired. You all shouldn’t fight over it with me!”
Seeing the Diamond Iron was so popular, Gao Yunchang smiled and said, “Since everyone recognizes this Diamond Iron, I won’t bother explaining further. I only want a strand of Tianying Grass in exchange for this formidable piece of Diamond Iron. Does anyone have it?”
“Tianying Grass? The kind that can restore damaged limbs and make severed arms recover instantly? The legendary Holy Relic?”
“Tianying Grass is so rare, Gao Yunchang, you want to exchange it for just a piece of Diamond Iron? That’s far-fetched.”
“Besides, where would we get something like that?”
