Chapter 1104: Chapter 1111: A Helping Hand Chapter 1104: Chapter 1111: A Helping Hand “Daoist friend, you can inspect these two Immortal Fruits,” Jieyin Daoist gestured towards the Wind and Thunder Immortal Dates and the Celestial Fox Saliva on the Stone Table and said.

“Wuzhuang View is renowned, why would you deceive with fakes, there's no need for examination,” the black-robed man laughed heartily, his sleeve sweeping up the two Immortal Fruits before he flew back to his seat.

Various gazes circled uncertainly over the black-robed man–envious, jealous, and some ill-intentioned–but he completely ignored them, simply maintaining his composure and sitting quietly there.

“Our trading ends here with this. Now, if our fellow Daoists have treasures they wish to exchange, they can come up and present them one by one. Let me say this beforehand, our Wuzhuang View is only providing the venue, everyone makes their own deals, and if anyone is taken in by counterfeits, it has nothing to do with us. Fellow Daoists, please feel free to proceed,” Jieyin Daoist stood up and after speaking briefly, he left the Stone Platform with the two elders and sat down nearby.

Ao Hong heard Jieyin Daoist's voice, raised his head that had been bowed the whole time, glanced towards the deeper end of Wuzhuang View, then turned to Shen Luo and asked, “Brother Shen, why don't you buy something? Don't fancy any of these Spirit Fruits?”

“How can that be, Brother Ao? These Spirit Fruits are all treasures, and many have caught my eye, but I came in such a hurry this time that I didn't prepare anything, so I can only watch as these fine things go into other people's pockets,” said Shen Luo with a shake of his head and a wry smile.

“So that's the case, I was negligent. In the upcoming transactions, Brother Shen, if you are short of Immortal Jade or Spiritual Materials, just let me know,” Ao Hong said.

“Then I thank Brother Ao greatly. I am planning to acquire two items next, but I don't have many suitable treasures for trading. If Brother Ao happens to have some Precious Spirit Materials on hand, could you lend me one or two pieces?” Shen Luo intended to ask Ao Hong and immediately went with the flow.

He had many things on him, but those that counted as truly precious were few. Treasures like the Slayer's Broken Sword, the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, and the Bloodthirsty Flag could not be parted with. The treasures he could offer in trade were limited and it would be a bit insufficient to exchange.

“At this Hundred Fruit Immortal Feast, ordinary things are probably not valued much. I have a pair of Nightmare Dragon Horns here, you can take them for now,” Ao Hong pondered for a moment and handed over a wooden box.

“Nightmare Dragon Horns!” Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat.

He had once read about the Nightmare Dragon, a rare breed in the Dragon Clan, incredibly Yin and Poisonous. A mere scratch would turn flesh to pus and death, and its horns, where the Yin Poison was concentrated and stored, were top-tier materials for refining Yin Poison Magical Treasures. The Blood Transformation Divine Knife that terrified many during the Ancient Times was forged from this material.

Shen Luo cracked open the wooden box just a sliver, and a chill Yin Qi hit him, making him feel uncomfortable. Inside the box lay two foot-long, dark red dragon horns pulsating with a viscous blood light that was unsettling to look at.

“This item is too precious, I cannot accept it!” Shen Luo closed the box and handed it back, speaking earnestly.

“Although these Nightmare Dragon Horns are extraordinary, they are not a big deal for our Dragon Palace,” Ao Hong gestured dismissively, refusing to receive the box.

“Brother Ao might not regard a pair of Nightmare Dragon Horns very highly, but for I, Shen Luo, it's different. Accepting such a treasured gift, I fear I may lack the means to repay you in the future,” Shen Luo said, shaking his head.

“We are friends; what does a mere pair of Nightmare Dragon Horns count for? Brother Shen, just keep them. As for repayment, I have always admired Brother Shen for his efficiency. This pair of horns can be considered in exchange for your unconditional help in the future, how about that?” Ao Hong chuckled freely, whispering softly.

“Brother Ao is generous, I am much obliged. Should you ever require it, I, Shen Luo, will certainly do my utmost to assist,” Shen Luo, taken aback, no longer made any polite refuse, and accepted the wooden box.

As Shen Luo and Ao Hong conversed, the Trading Conference had already started. As soon as Jieyin Daoist left, several monks immediately shot towards the Stone Platform.

At such a Trading Conference, it was obviously better to act earlier rather than later–latecomers might find the items they desire already traded by others.

As it happened, a white-clothed man reached the Stone Platform first, gave a brief salute to the ones behind him: “My apologies, Fellow Cultivators, I'll take the liberty to go first.”

The others, having no choice, stopped and returned to their seats.

“I didn't bring many things with me today, only this egg of an Iron-winged Profound Hawk. I wish to exchange it for a piece of Innate Blood Jade or a bag of Moon Star Sand,” the white-clothed man said as he took out a fist-sized black avian egg and announced.

Shen Luo had heard of the great name of the Iron-winged Profound Hawk, a very rare metallic Monster that was as hard as iron all over. Once fully grown, its strength could be comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, especially with its extremely fast flight speed, making it very suitable as a mount.

The Iron-winged Profound Hawk egg was highly valued and attracted the covetous gazes of many, and since the white-clothed man was the first to go up, it wasn't long before a monk exchanged it for a piece of Innate Blood Jade.

The white-clothed man happily stepped down from the platform, and immediately another monk came up, offering two precious Spirit Grasses in exchange for a niche Dan formula, but unfortunately, no one had it, so he left disappointed.

The third monk sprang onto the Stone Platform immediately…

Shen Luo didn't want to attract attention and sat quietly, so he didn't rush forward.

In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty monks had gone up. Those who went up at the beginning mostly reaped some benefits, but as the conference progressed, fewer and fewer people succeeded in exchanging for what they needed, and the monks were not as eager as before to step up.

Just as Shen Luo saw that the timing was about right and was about to go up,

a figure preempted him and flew out–it was the Golden Armor Youth.

This person had attracted everyone's attention upon entering the hall, and now as he went up to the Stone Platform, many cultivators shifted their gaze towards him.

The Golden Armor Youth flipped his hands, revealing two long Wooden Boxes. The lids opened automatically, displaying a piece of fiery red, jade-like Spirit Wood and a Seven-Treasure Colorful Lotus.

“One piece of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood and one Seven-Treasure Colorful Lotus in exchange for Mixed Yin Cold Jade and Tianbulao materials,” the Golden Armor Youth said as he glanced around slowly.

Both the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood and the Seven-Treasure Colorful Lotus were extremely rare Spirit Materials, especially the latter, which was a special product of the Heavenly Court's Jade Pool and drew the attention of many.

However, the materials the Golden Armor Youth requested, Mixed Yin Cold Jade and Tianbulao, were even rarer. For a time, no one responded.

Shen Luo's eyes sparkled as he watched the Stone Platform, excitement showing on his face.

However, he was not focused on the more valuable Seven-Treasure Colorful Lotus, but rather the piece of Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood.

The main material for the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was Fire Qilin Wood, but just ordinary Fire Qilin Wood.

For a Magical Treasure, the main material is extremely important. It directly determines the power of the treasure and the potential for future growth. The Fire Qilin Wood used for his Pure Yang Sword Embryo was of ordinary quality, and over the years, it was only through the nourishment of Mana and the blessing of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that its power was comparable to that of Magical Treasures with very limited potential for further growth.

If he could merge the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood in front of him into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, the situation would be entirely different. The quality of the Pure Yang Sword Embryo would be greatly improved, and it might even accelerate its promotion to a Magical Treasure.

With this thought, Shen Luo's breathing became slightly rapid, but he quickly regained his composure as he considered how to acquire the Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood.

The Golden Armor Youth said he wanted to exchange this wood for Mixed Yin Cold Jade, but not only did Shen Luo not have it, he hadn't even heard of it.
