Chapter 441
On the same day, news spread from the Myriad Treasure Pavilion that there would be an auction in ten days, and there would be pill weapons for sale.
Pill weapons were weapons that only Inner Core old monsters could refine. With them, an Inner Core old monster would be able to unleash power several times greater than their own.
Once the news came out, it caused a stir in the market square.
The value of a pill weapon far exceeded that of an ordinary Inner Core old monster. Even in the Chaotic Lands, where resources were abundant, it was impossible to guarantee that everyone would have a pill weapon. There were many Inner Core old monsters who didn't have a pill weapon.
On the same day, the news spread out at the fastest speed.
After that, even more experts poured into the market. In just one day, the market was already packed with people.
Many Inner Core old monsters had come.
On this day, there was quite a commotion at the entrance of the market.
The ten Inner Core old monsters of the Barbarian Bull Village had arrived, each of them emitting a terrifying aura. They didn't suppress their auras in the slightest as they walked into the market.
A surging aura soared into the sky. In an instant, the sky changed color, and the clouds moved. Behind Old Monster Danyuan, there were more than a dozen Imperial Sky leaders. After they entered the market, they took out portraits and pasted them to every corner of the market.
"The rumors are true. The Virtuous Unfettered made the Barbarian Bull Village suffer a great loss."
"Heavens, they actually chased him from the Barbarian Bull Village to here. They're determined to kill the Virtuous Unfettered."
On the portrait was the Virtuous Unfettered's name, appearance, and strength. There was a detailed introduction, but when everyone saw the reward, they all sucked in a cold breath.
"Those who provide clues will be rewarded with a million yuan stones. Those who provide accurate information and successfully capture the Virtuous Unfettered will be rewarded with ten million yuan stones."
This was a huge reward, and it caused quite a commotion. Everyone was guessing who the Virtuous Unfettered was.
But it wasn't over yet.
After the Barbarian Bull Village, the experts of the Setting Sun Mountain also appeared. This was a great power that wasn't any weaker than the Barbarian Bull Village. The number of Inner Core old monsters that came was no less than the Barbarian Bull Village's.
The experts of the two great powers came one after another. As soon as they met, a thick smell of gunpowder permeated the air.
The two forces confronted each other, and a chill surged. But in the end, they didn't fight. Even they didn't dare to be impudent in the market.
Very quickly, the Zephyr experts of the Sunset Mountain also took out portraits and posted them everywhere. They were all portraits of the Virtuous Loose Cultivator. As for the reward, it was actually 60 million primal stones.
Both sides wanted to find the Virtuous Itinerant. The reward was as high as twenty-five million. This was a shocking number. Everyone in the market was talking about the Virtuous Itinerant.
"The Virtuous Loose Cultivator is only at the early stage of the Flying Realm, yet he claims to be invincible in the Flying Realm. He even made two major powers suffer a great loss. Could he be a monster nurtured by one of those superpowers?"
All sorts of guesses were heard.
"Zi Chen, there are portraits of you everywhere. Are you sure you still want to participate in the auction?" Monk asked when he saw the portraits on the street.
"Of course. I'm determined to get the Elixir Weapon," Zi Chen said.
"That's not necessarily true. There are so many Core Realm old monsters here. Even if you get it, you might not be able to take it out smoothly."
After the Barbarian Bull Stockade and the Sunset Mountain, the experts of the Black Dragon Pool and Wu Liufeng also arrived. These were the four largest forces in the central region. They were known as the four overlords of the central region.
Among the two forces, the Black Tiger Peak Master and the four cave masters appeared as leaders.
"Tyrant barbarian."
The two groups of people appeared together. They saw Zi Chen from afar and shouted. Obviously, they already knew Zi Chen's new name. Then, their figures flickered and rushed toward Zi Chen.
Monk saw this and turned into a passerby, leaving far away.
Dozens of experts at the late stage of the Flying Realm surrounded Zi Chen, their eyes flashing with cold light.
"Tyrant barbarian, you still dare to appear in front of me?" Black Tiger Peak Master asked coldly, the heavy hammer in his hand trembling.
"What's wrong, you big fool. Didn't you get scolded enough yesterday? You're here to block my way again." Zi Chen's mouth had a hint of sarcasm.
"You're courting death." Black Tiger was furious. The heavy hammer in his hand danced and instantly smashed down.
Zi Chen didn't move. With a sneer on his face, he let the heavy hammer smash down.
The heavy hammer smashed down, but Zi Chen didn't move. In the end, the heavy hammer stopped an inch in front of Zi Chen. The wind whistled, blowing Zi Chen's long hair.
"What's wrong? Smash it." Zi Chen sneered.
Black Tiger's eyes surged with killing intent, but he held it back in the end. A strange smile flashed in the corner of his mouth. "You've got guts. We'll deal with you later."
Black Tiger led his men and left dejectedly. Zi Chen's back was already wet with cold sweat.
However, his expression didn't change. He glanced at the other force and said to the four cave masters, "Why aren't you guys getting lost?"
The four's expressions kept changing, but they finally held back their anger. They looked to the side and saw that each of them had a cold expression. They looked at Zi Chen as if they were looking at a dead man.
After that, the force left.
At the same time, the old monster of Primordial Core from the two forces also glanced over and then walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Zi Chen's body was already wet with cold sweat. Even his forehead was wet. When the cold wind blew, he felt a chill. The look of the old monster of Primordial Core made him have an impulse to leave immediately.
He was actually afraid.
"Rich barbarians are really strong. They don't even put the people of Black Dragon Pool and Wu Liufeng in their eyes."
The discussion woke Zi Chen from his fear.
"I'm not that timid." He shook his head and smiled gently. He went straight to the Treasure Pavilion. The monk behind him also quickly followed.
"Scram, you ungrateful bald donkey." Zi Chen was furious when he saw the monk.
Surprisingly, the monk did not refute Zi Chen's scolding. While Zi Chen had nowhere to vent his anger, he also felt that something was amiss.
The various forces once again met in the Treasure Pavilion. Many people looked at the barbarians. Although they didn't have good intentions, they didn't do anything too extreme.
As for Zi Chen and Tyrant, they headed straight for the top floor where they could exchange primordial stones.
The old man from before still had his eyes closed. It was as if he didn't notice them coming.
"Isn't this too much of a scam?" When the monk saw the exchange numbers, his expression changed several times as he subconsciously spoke.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Senior, can we still discuss the price of these yuan stones? Don't you think this exchange method is too much?" Zi Chen felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by the old man. He braced himself and said, "Senior, can we still discuss the price of these yuan stones? Isn't this exchange method too much?"
"Too much?" The old man smiled faintly.
The two of them were silent. Clearly, they agreed.
"If you think it's too much, go elsewhere," the old man said again, then closed his eyes.
The two of them were speechless, but they were furious. They wanted nothing more than to beat the old man up.
Within a radius of several million miles, there was only one market, and there was only one place that could exchange for ki stones. This was a monopoly, and there was no other place that could do it, unless they went to Chaos City. However, with their strength, it was almost impossible for them to get there safely.
"Forget it. Let's go buy some vital energy pills. It's more worth it." Zi Chen couldn't help but urge the monk to leave.
For some reason, the old man's eyes were closed, but Zi Chen felt like he was being spied on.
The monk seemed to feel the same. He turned and left.
"Wait." Suddenly, the old man's voice sounded.
The two of them stopped and turned to look at the old man in confusion.
"Are you friends of the young mistress?" the old man suddenly asked.
The two of them were stunned. They didn't understand.
"If you want to exchange vital stones, we can talk about that. However, you have to tell me what your relationship with Fairy Yue is first."
Zi Chen frowned. He didn't know how to answer.
"We're friends of Fairy Yue. We've known each other for a long time. We've been through thick and thin together." The monk reacted quickly.
However, just as Zi Chen heaved a sigh of relief, the monk pointed at Zi Chen, and said, "H-he's called Zi Chen. He has a special relationship with Fairy Yue. The two of them stayed in the same room last night."
Zi Chen was so angry that his nose almost went crooked. This d * mn monk. He was even willing to betray his friends for some vital stones. How could he be so ungrateful? He didn't look like a monk at all.
"Oh, is that so?" The old man looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen shook his head like a rattle-drum. He quickly said, "Old man, don't listen to his nonsense. We're just friends. It's just that we haven't seen each other in a long time. Furthermore, I didn't have a place to stay yesterday. So, please don't worry. We only talked about the past and didn't do anything else."
Zi Chen quickly explained. He wasn't a blabbermouth like the monk. Furthermore, he couldn't simply admit to such things.
Although he hadn't talked to Fairy Yue about the Shangguan family in detail, he could tell from Fairy Yue 'er's expression that she didn't have a good life in the Shangguan family.
If he didn't answer well, he would be finished if the old man smacked him to death. This was the old man's territory. All the rules were set by him. Furthermore, Zi Chen didn't believe that the old man he couldn't see through was an ordinary person.
"Oh, from what you're saying, you're just friends?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Yes, just friends." Zi Chen nodded.
"Then since you're just friends, the exchange rate for each type of ki stone will be reduced by five." The old man smiled faintly and closed his eyes once more.
"No, no, Elder, you've misunderstood. How could they possibly be ordinary friends? Back in the barbarian lands, Zi Chen already liked Yue Xianzi, and Yue Xianzi was also interested in Zi Chen. The two of them were in love with each other," the monk hurriedly explained.
"Then they can't be ordinary friends."
"How could they be ordinary friends? Old man, think about it. Would Fairy Yue ask an ordinary friend to stay in the same room in the middle of the night? Furthermore, they're a single man and woman."
Zi Chen was dumbfounded. Was this really just a monk? Why was he even more of a ruffian than a local ruffian? What nonsense!
"Since that's the case, why won't he admit it?"
"Old man, think about it carefully. How could you have the nerve to ask such a thing?" The monk smiled ambiguously.
"Haha, that's right. It's my fault for being muddle-headed. I shouldn't have asked so carefully. Young people are always so thin-skinned. Since that's the case, if you want to exchange for ki stones, you can exchange them according to this price."
The old man laughed heartily. He then pointed at the price of exchanging high-grade vitality stones for low-grade vitality stones and said.
