The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1491

Chapter 1491: Chapter 1487: The Object of Desire Chapter 1491: Chapter 1487: The Object of Desire “Why is he here? No, that Zhou Tie is just an ordinary person, after so many years he should have long been dead. How can he still be alive?” Shen Luo was quite surprised, scrutinizing Zhou Tie carefully.

Zhou Tie still had not a trace of Mana fluctuation on him, he was indeed an ordinary person. However, Shen Luo felt that there was something unusual about him, different from ordinary people. If one did not observe carefully, it would not be apparent.

“So, Friend Gu has been waiting for Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist. It's really rare to see Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist not refining corpses in his cave mansion but instead coming to Tianji City,” Lady Yunxia said with a cold laugh, apparently acquainted with the gaunt old man.

“Refining corpses!” Shen Luo's body jolted, and he looked at the gaunt old man, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

Xie Yuxin was a longtime good friend of his, and she was turned into the Earth Evil Corpse King without any clear reason. Although he had already conveyed her soul to the Underworld, the reason why she became that way remains unclear. Ghost Yan was already dead, and he thought he had no way to investigate the truth, but unexpectedly, he found some clues here.

Xie Yuxin turned into the Earth Evil Corpse King in this Boundless Sand Sea, and now Zhou Tie was with this gaunt old man. Given the gaunt old man was a monk of the Boundless Sand Sea and was skilled in the art of corpse refinement, it's highly likely he was involved with Xie Yuxin's transformation.

Shen Luo immediately closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed his emotions.

The most important thing now was to obtain the Nine Heavens Gold Essence. This gaunt old man had already appeared here, and he couldn't escape. It wouldn't be too late to inquire about Xie Yuxin after the trading conference was over.

“Let me introduce you, this gentleman is Ghost Teng Master, a reclusive cultivator from the Boundless Sand Sea, who rarely comes out,” Gu Cangfeng introduced the gaunt old man.

Ghost Teng Master was only at the Early True Immortal stage, and his aura was quite unstable, indicating a recent breakthrough. Therefore, no one present paid much attention to him.

Ghost Teng Master let out a hey-hey dry laugh and then sprawled on a large chair.

Two female disciples from the Lianxiang Assembly forced smiles on their faces and walked over, sticking by Ghost Teng Master's side.

“Ha ha, the female disciples of Lianxiang Assembly are indeed wonderful. My desolate Ghost Vine Cave is very cold. Brother Gu, could you perhaps send me ten such disciples?” Ghost Teng Master said with a laugh after rubbing his hands on the two girls.

“Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist is a True Immortal being, transcending the mortal world. It is their honor for my sect's disciples to catch your eye. I will have someone send ten top-quality furnace companions to you later,” Gu Cangfeng hee-hee laughed.

“Then I thank you very much,” Ghost Teng Master chuckled.

Shen Luo, upon hearing the conversation between the two, felt disgusted and closed his eyes, ignoring them.

“Now that everyone has arrived, the trading conference can officially begin. There's no need for me to say much about the rules; You Daoist friends present your treasures, introduce them, and then state the price you wish to trade or the items you wish to exchange. If someone is interested, we can proceed with the deal,” Gu Cangfeng said with a smile.

All those present were True Immortal cultivators. Naturally, they were all aware of the rules of the trading conference.

“Although everyone here is a High Person and unlikely to break the rules, I still have to say the ugly words upfront. If anyone presents fake or defective goods, or forces buying and selling, then do not blame me, Gu, for being unsympathetic.” Gu Cangfeng's expression suddenly turned cold, as the powerful aura of a True Immortal Middle Stage fully displayed, and at the same time, a pitch-black Yin wind rose behind him, and a red-clothed female ghost appeared.

The female ghost was about a zhang tall and extremely slender like a bamboo pole, with Black Qi entwining her body and Yin Sha Qi extremely heavy, even more powerful than Gu Cangfeng himself. Her two blood-red eyes, visible from her parted hair, swept the people in the hall, sending chills through everyone present instantly.

“Cha Female Ghost King!” someone in the hall exclaimed softly, and everyone's expressions became more reserved.

“The trading conference is now beginning, which Daoist friend will present their items first?” Seeing that his display of power had the desired intimidating effect, Gu Cangfeng retracted his aura and the red-clothed female ghost behind him disappeared in a flash, announcing the official start of the trading conference.

“I arrived the latest, so let me start. This time I brought three pieces of Yellow Cloud Crystal, two Sky Eye Beads, one Swallowing Fire Beast Demon Pill…” Ghost Teng Master chuckled, placing several items on the table.

These items were all valuable treasures that True Immortal cultivators could use, especially the Swallowing Fire Beast Demon Pill, which could absorb fiery spiritual power. Although this pill was not a True Immortal Demon Pill, it was still a rare treasure for cultivators who practiced Fire Attribute Techniques, attracting several fervent gazes.

The two Lianxiang Assembly female disciples serving the ugly old Ghost Teng Master were initially reluctant, but upon seeing the spiritual materials on the table, their eyes lit up and their attitude became much more enthusiastic. They fawned over the old man, eliciting hearty laughter from Ghost Teng Master.

Shen Luo merely glanced at the items before withdrawing his gaze, as these things were indeed rare for ordinary True Immortal cultivators, but meant nothing to him.

Back in the Yin Yang Cave, he obtained a massive amount of precious spirit materials, each of which was more valuable than the Swallowing Fire Beast Demon Pill.

Next to Ghost Teng Master sat a man dressed in black robes, who had a slow temperament. It took a while after Ghost Teng Master finished speaking for the black-robed man to leisurely take out two things: a White Jade Bottle and a jade box with a yellow spirit grass inside, resembling a lingzhi mushroom.

“I didn't bring much, just one bottle of Thousand-Year Cold Marrow and one Earth Zhi Essence,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

The Thousand-Year Cold Marrow and Earth Zhi Essence were both rare spiritual materials that caught the interest of many people.

Shen Luo scanned the two items before shifting his gaze away, catching a glimpse of another cultivator sitting next to the black-robed man.

That person was Wanshui Zhenren, the target of his visit this time.

“I have brought less than the two fellow Daoists, possessing neither wealth nor abundances, only bringing a single Bihai Rayfish egg,” Wanshui Zhenren jested, taking out a fist-sized blue beast egg, within which waves of water-like light swirled, hinting at its extraordinariness.

“Bihai Rayfish!” Several people in the room shook visibly, greed flashing in their eyes.

The Bihai Rayfish, an Exotic Beast from the Southern Sea, resides in the deep sea and is said to carry the bloodline of the ancient Exotic Beast Kunpeng. It can enter the sea and ascend the skies, moving with incredible speed. Its mild nature made it one of the best choices for a spirit beast mount.

Shen Luo frowned slightly, as Wanshui Zhenren did not bring out the Nine Heavens Gold Essence.

However, it made sense; in a trading conference full of strangers, presenting a treasure like the Nine Heavens Gold Essence would only bring trouble upon oneself.

The trading conference continued, with the cultivators below presenting their offered items in turn–all valuables and rarities, gradually heating up the atmosphere in the stone chamber.

When it was Shen Luo's turn, he casually put out a few spiritual materials on the table, including two from the Jing River Dragon King's Storage Magical Tool, which were the Spiritual Materials of the Demon Clan. This attracted many surprised gazes, including that of Ghost Vine Master.

Soon, everyone had presented their items, and the next phase of the conference was to propose items they wished to exchange.
