Li Yan sat there and waited quietly. He didn't communicate too much with other people. He was waiting for everyone to arrive.
Then from these people, he found his "immortal fate" for this trip, but the "immortal fate" he wanted to get here was different from everyone here...
In the time it took to have a cup of tea, seventeen monks appeared in the entire courtyard, including men and women, old and young.
At this moment, the monk surnamed Wang also smiled slightly and stood up again.
"Hehehe... Wang is very grateful to all the fellow Taoists for giving me noodles. I didn't expect that all the fellow Taoists I invited would come, which makes Wang very grateful.
So let’s not talk nonsense next, I believe that many people here already know each other, even if they are not in the same realm, everyone is gathered in Huangquan City after all!”
The monk surnamed Wang spoke in a gentle tone as he made some opening remarks. In fact, what he said was quite right. Even though there were people from different realms here, some of them knew each other.
Monks of their level still have to jointly perform patrols in the city and other tasks. If they are assigned together, it is normal.
However, once they are assigned a task, they are often fixed and will not change for many years. However, they may not know the monks of other sects outside of their own responsibilities.
After all, the main goal of the monks here is to use this environment to practice and improve themselves. Whenever they have free time, everyone is seizing this rare opportunity to practice.
At the same time, within each sect, monks from their own sects also come and go alternately. Some new core disciples often appear here. They have not been here for a long time and do not know anyone else.
"...but I still want to give you a general introduction so that fellow Taoists can know each other's origins, so that we can get closer to each other and communicate more in the future.
And if there are any problems during the transaction, you can also find the other party, right?
Hahaha... Let's start with Fellow Daoist Yang on the left, he comes from the main Taoist world..."
The monk surnamed Wang continued, his voice full of lightness, and the content of his words made all the monks here smile knowingly.
Li Yan sat there with a normal expression. He listened quietly to the opening remarks of the monk surnamed Wang, and his eyes kept moving as the other person introduced him one by one.
From time to time, he would follow the movements of others and slightly gesture to the person being introduced, looking very casual.
Listening to the introduction by monk surnamed Wang, Li Yan was quite satisfied with his previous decision.
He doesn't care about how the transaction is going on here. Instead, he is the one who cares most about the opening session that no one cares about at this moment...
About half a stick after the trading time started, amidst the discussion, Li Yan's eyes flickered and he suddenly spoke to a person on the opposite side.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, I am also somewhat interested in your stiff leg bone, but I wonder if you are interested in exchanging it for the Flower of the Other Side?"
Li Yan looked at the monk opposite who was wearing a black cloak, covering his entire thin body and said.
Li Yan had been eyeing this person for a long time, and he had been waiting for the right opportunity. The cloaked man turned out to be a monk from the "Night Walk Sect".
In the hands of this monk surnamed Hu, there is a leg bone of a four-thousand-year-old zombie. The "Night Walk Sect" is a kind of soul-locking technique.
This made the monk surnamed Hu naturally take out this object during the transaction.
He felt that this item should be very useful to other ghost cultivators, but his trading goal was to barter.
Generally speaking, he has no shortage of weapon-refining materials recently, so he wants to find some more precious items in other people's hands.
After the words of the monk surnamed Hu were spoken, several people spoke one after another. This zombie leg bone was of great use to them.
After Li Yan learned the identity of the other party, his heart started beating violently. He just resisted looking at the other party less before.
He has been waiting for the other party to speak. Only after knowing the other party's intentions can he implement the plan accordingly.
Li Yan hopes that the other party will make the transaction as soon as possible. Continuously consuming time here is increasing the risk without limit.
Fortunately, after the other party made two transactions, the monk surnamed Hu also spoke lazily, which made Li Yan feel like he was hearing the sound of nature when he heard the other party's words.
"Finally, God has favored you!"
When Li Yan asked, he also thanked the gods in his heart. He had encountered too many bad luck recently, and now he finally had a turn for the better.
Not only did the "Night Walk Sect" monk that he most wanted to see appear at the most critical moment, but the other party did not make him wait any longer.
Li Yan actually had a lot of things that ghost cultivators needed, and of course they came from Fa Nan and Chi Han.
Both of these are real ghosts from the underworld, so Li Yan is more confident that he can get what the other party wants this time.
But he still didn't speak in a hurry. While others were discussing with the monk surnamed Hu, Li Yan kept observing his words.
At the same time, he was also guessing what the other party wanted? And what he took out could not arouse the suspicion of these people.
So after Li Yan thought about it, he said "Flower of the Other Shore", which was engraved into his bones.
When Li Yan was searching for souls outside the city, whenever anything about the "Flower of the Other Side" appeared in the other person's memory, Li Yan would stop there subconsciously.
From this, Li Yan also knew the value of the "Flower of the Other Shore". It was not only precious in the Netherworld, but also very popular in Huangquan City.
Even a three-hundred-year-old "Biangan flower" can be sold for an astonishing price here.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you...you have the 'Flower of the Other Side'? How old is it?"
When the monk surnamed Hu heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
But the discussions of other people all stopped after Li Yan finished speaking, and everyone looked at Li Yan in surprise.
This thing is so rare that even the monk surnamed Wang who summoned everyone here quickly flashed his eyes a few times.
He never thought that monk surnamed Liang would have such a good thing in his hands.
"Had I known this, I would have discussed it with the other party privately..."
He thought with some annoyance in his heart, but when he went to find the other party, he had already left the city to practice, and he didn't even inquire about it in advance.
But at this time, seeing that the monk surnamed Hu had already spoken urgently, and it was not the time for others to interrupt, many people had the same idea, and they could only secretly sigh in their hearts.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, with our level of cultivation, how can we obtain the 'Bana Flower' that lasts for too long, which is a little over three hundred years.
It was only by chance that I got it from a ghost who came here!"
Li Yan shook his head.
But at this moment, there were a lot of "Flowers from the Other Side" on his body. Before leaving the first level of Shura Prison, he went to the "Minglun River".
He directly picked all the "flowers of the other side" that he had found before, those "flowers from the other side" that were more than three hundred years old.
Moreover, he also got a lot of "Bana flowers" from Fa Nan. It should be that Fa Nan had not had time to send them out in the near future. In total, there were nearly thirty plants.
After thinking about it, Li Yan felt that it was still reasonable to take out flowers that were about three hundred years old, but he also knew that this was actually a risky move.
But at this time, Li Yan could only control the risk within a certain range. He had to lure the other party to the bait, and he could not let the fish escape the line.
"Senior Brother Liang, you have such a good thing, why didn't you tell me in advance that it would be good for you to trade with me!
Senior brother, do you need that leg bone so much? When did you practice zombie-like skills? Can you exchange other things?"
At this moment, the voice of Junior Brother Ji, who was sitting next to Li Yan, immediately appeared in Li Yan's mind, and there was already some dissatisfaction in his voice.
Li Yan didn't look at the other party at all and replied with the same voice transmission.
"This is something I just exchanged for a short time ago. If I don't find what I need, do you think I can trade it?
As long as you stay in Huangquan City and pay more attention to those ghosts in the future, you will still have a chance to trade the ‘Bana Flower’, and I think my junior brother knows this too!”
That's all he said, with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
Moreover, in the simple message transmission, there was no intention to explain to the other party why he wanted to trade the amputated leg bone.
When the monk surnamed Ji heard this, his heart trembled. He knew that he had said the wrong thing just now in a hurry.
"Senior brother, I didn't mean that. I just think that if you use this item to trade with the other party, you are actually suffering a bit of a loss. You are overqualifying yourself!"
At the same time, the monk surnamed Ji was also thinking, "Three hundred years of 'Bana Flower' can be traded for more than five thousand years of zombie skeletons.
Could it be that because Senior Brother Liang has been unable to break through, he wants to find another way and try to use zombie-like techniques to gain some insights..."
Li Yan, however, didn't care what others thought, he just wanted to trap the monk surnamed Hu as soon as possible.
After listening to Li Yan's words, everyone present had such a look on their faces.
Although they were surprised that the "Flower of the Other Shore" could appear in this transaction, they did not expect that the monk surnamed Liang could produce a treasure worth four or five hundred years.
Unless this person is a fool, he would use "Higanhua" of that age to conduct such a transaction.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, of course you can, please take it out and have a look! Fellow Taoists, I have agreed to trade this deal with Daoist Liang, so I can only apologize!"
To Li Yan, the first half of the monk's surnamed Hu sentence was only the second half when he glanced at everyone in the courtyard.
His tone was also polite, but there was a cold air coming out of the cloak. Everyone understood what the monk surnamed Hu meant.
That is, if someone says that they want to bring out other better treasures to trade with Li Yan, then he may fall out.
But his behavior caused several cold snorts to appear in the courtyard.
"snort!"
"I think all of this still depends on Fellow Daoist Liang's final decision!"
"..."
The monk surnamed Wang was also dissatisfied with the behavior of the monk surnamed Hu, but as the master of this room, he could not speak directly.
Of course he also wanted to trade "Higanhua", but although this "Ye Xing Sect" was not too powerful, it was an assassin sect among ghost cultivators.
The monks of this sect have never been very broad-minded, and they like to do some unclean things behind their backs.
But it is precisely because of this reason that the monk surnamed Hu has a lot of good things in his hands, which he got by killing people and getting goods.
As the convenor of the room, the monk surnamed Wang finally just looked at Li Yan, while Li Yan looked as usual and raised his hand and took out a "Flower from the Other Side"...
Just a moment later, with most people disappointed, Li Yan completed the deal with the monk surnamed Hu.
Even if there are really people who are not afraid of "Night Gate" at all, after seeing through the purpose of what Li Yan wants, which is zombie-like materials, they come up with other better things.
But how could Li Yan deliberately trade with others? In the end, he found a reason to reject the other party, and finally chose to trade with the monk surnamed Hu.
And just after the transaction between the two ended, the monk surnamed Wang quickly stood up and took charge of the follow-up matters...
After Li Yan collected the zombie leg bone, he glanced at the monk surnamed Hu across from him.
Seeing that the other party was still sitting there steadily, with no intention of leaving, he quietly sent a message to the other party.
“Fellow Daoist Hu, I heard that you people from the ‘Ye Xing Sect’ have many good things in your hands!
But I wonder if you have anything else that you want to trade this time. If possible, we can trade privately!"
The monk surnamed Hu was listening to a monk who had just stood up. The man took out a red bead. When he was about to observe it carefully, he suddenly heard Li Yan's voice transmission.
The cloaked head seemed to be raised in the direction of Li Yan. The monk surnamed Hu knew something about the sect where this person was.
The Ghost Sect that can station in Huangquan City is considered a good existence, but he has a very high vision. Could it be that the other party has precious materials like the "Flower of the Other Side"?
"Oh? Is there anything good that Fellow Daoist Liang has in his hands?"
He did not answer directly, but asked questions to probe the other party's tone.
"There is a magic weapon from the underworld and ghosts. This thing is good to think about, but I wonder if Daoist Hu has in his hands other materials for alchemy and weapon refining similar to those of the zombies just now?"
Through the voice transmission from the monk surnamed Ji, Li Yan also thought that his previous actions were somewhat inconsistent with the techniques he practiced.
But precisely because of this, the few people here who are familiar with themselves all think that they have special uses.
Therefore, he kept talking with the intention that he needed zombie materials.
"The magic weapon of the underworld ghost? Fellow Daoist Liang really has such a thing. What level is it?"
The monk surnamed Hu narrowed his eyes under his cloak. He couldn't help but ask immediately. He was also a little surprised by the other party's answer.
"Of course it is a magic weapon that can be used at our level. I believe it will not disappoint Fellow Daoist, but I don't know what Fellow Daoist Hu has in his hands..."
Li Yan's tone became slower and he asked the other person the same question.
"I am also confident that I have a few things that are not imported from the zombie leg bones just now. I wonder what Daoyou Liang thinks?
If fellow Taoist has this intention, why don't we go to the back room now, take out each other's things and have a look, and if possible, trade immediately!"
After the monk surnamed Hu pondered for a moment, he glanced at the house behind his cloak. Every inch of land in Huangquan City was precious, and the rooms here were considered acceptable.
But compared to the people who came today, the courtyard space is of course larger.
So after the monk surnamed Wang rented this place, he simply gathered everyone in the courtyard, and the several rooms at the back were not used.
The monk surnamed Hu took a look and saw that the bead was being traded in the market. He was not too interested, so he immediately made a suggestion.
Anyway, as long as both parties take out the things, based on their vision and the introduction of the other party, they can quickly determine whether it is worth taking action against each other.
"Is it similar to what I had before... That's true, but it's not possible now. I'm not in the habit of bringing everything with me.
Then after the transaction here is over, if Daoyou Hu has nothing else to do, you can come with me to the sect. What do you think of Daoyou Hu?"
In Li Yan's voice transmission at this time, he seemed to be unhurried and unhurried.
"Oh? Do you still want to go to Taoist friend's sect?"
Under the cloak, the monk surnamed Hu had a light flashing in his eyes, and Li Yan seemed to hear the other party's hesitation, so he spoke again.
"How about we find a private room in a restaurant to talk, or you, fellow Taoist, find a place to do business!"
