Chapter 330: Yan Mobei’s Excitement
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The meal was spent with the two of them jostling and bickering pettily. By now, the matter of a white-haired man slaughtering the seven Xiantian Lords of the Jian Clan had spreaded to everyone in the valley!
This was a big piece of news! The Jian Clan was a mega-clan with an exceptionally stable position at the top. It was not that there wasn’t any clan capable of suppressing the Jian Clan. However, there were so few that they could be counted on one hand!
Everyone was excited, as though there was a great show to watch. Although Bei Feng had displayed near invincible might against the Jian Clan’s Xiantian Lords, nobody fancied his chances.
If the Jian Clan only relied on their Xiantian experts, how could they have their current prestige?
The Jian Clan was a clan with a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert watching over them! They even had two Fake Dan experts. These were well-known facts that were not hidden from the public. Of course, below the surface, it was impossible to tell what their true strength was!
The group walked out from the mountain valley, and Bei Feng suddenly felt his heart accelerate slightly. However, he could not find the source of the issue.
“This bow is truly heavy! Over ten of us took turns to carry it, but we still ended up feeling a little tired,” Xia Shi complained. Although he was an Evolved Jing master, his forehead was still filled with sweat.
Yan Mobei smiled and said, “Xia Shi, your performance this time is not bad. If you hadn’t come and tipped me off secretly, I wouldn’t know that that old bastard Xia Bantian was hiding such a good item!”
He felt slightly annoyed when he thought about how that old idiot Xia Bantian had refused to hand the weapon over.
“It was fated that you get this weapon!” Xia Shi said respectfully. As for the bond between Xia Bantian who was his foster teacher and master, it’d been long forgotten.
A strange light flashed in Yan Mobei’s eye as he looked at Xia Shi buttering him up. He decided in that instant that he would slaughter this disgusting little traitor as soon they returned!
For the sake of climbing to greater heights, he did not hesitate to betray the master who’d raised him from a young age. He was even so sinister as to put poison in his own foster father’s food before killing him. Such a person was not someone he dared to have around him.
At the same time, he felt somewhat pitiful for how Xia Bantian had died. He was a half-step Xiantian Lord himself, but Xia Bantian was a body refining half-step Xiantian Lord!
If they were to really fight, the chances of him losing were rather big. A body refining expert had much greater endurance than normal people. If he couldn’t end the fight quickly, the other party would win by simply wearing him out!
For the sake of breaking through to the Xiantian realm, Yan Mobei went to look for Xia Bantian immediately after the traitor Xia Shi brought the news about the weapon to him. He’d pleaded with Xia Bantian and tried to persuade him to exchange the weapon for cultivation resources!
But that darned Xia Bantian kept insisting that the weapon belonged to someone else, and he was only helping that person reforge it.
From Yan Mobei’s perspective, Xia Bantian was simply being selfish, and wanted to hoard all the resources for himself.
Body refining cultivation was famous for being extremely resource-greedy. Yan Mobei thus came to the conclusion that Xia Bantian simply did not wish to share the resources with him. Thus, he collaborated with his disciple Xia Shi and sent him to meet King Yama!
This martial arts meet just happened to be a perfect opportunity for him to exchange the weapon for the resources he needed to reach the Xiantian realm. Thus, he’d traveled a great distance to this place.
The group walked into the mountain valley and followed another daoist to their living quarters.
***
Early the next day, someone came to the door and informed Bei Feng and the rest that the trade was going to start soon.
They followed everyone and walked down the mountain.
The crowd all slunk away from Bei Feng as though they had seen a ghost, as soon as they saw him. This was an extremely scary person who killed Xiantian Lords as though he were toying with them!
Bei Feng could not be bothered with these people. He continued walking until he came upon a door which stood wide open at the bottom of the cliff’s face, extending deep into the mountain.
Without any hesitation, he led the rest and stepped past the door calmly. The walls of the tunnel were fitted with numerous lamps which cast a soft light on the passageway. About 10 minutes later, a huge open space appeared before them!
Numerous stone platforms about 20-30 centimeters tall could be seen all around the cavern. The Xiantian Lords were assigned to one area, while the Evolved Jing masters were led to another side.
Of course, if one had sufficiently valuable treasures, they could naturally proceed to the Xiantian zone to trade.
This cavern was quite obviously not formed naturally. It was man-made, dug out with modern-day equipment. All kinds of carved tables and chairs could be seen, crafted from the same rocks that were attached to the ground. These furniture and decorations had beautiful, delicate patterns carved on them.
Bei Feng’s group was considered to have arrived rather late. There were already several items placed on the stone platforms. The owners of the items were seated behind their platforms, not speaking a word.
Bei Feng’s group separated as Mystic One and the rest went to the other side. There were all kinds of strange items on the stores, including Grade 3 pills and weapons.
In the Xiantian zone, Yan Mobei had secured a good spot and placed a one and a half meter long bow on the stone platform before it. The bow was emanating waves of Frost Qi continuously!
Bei Feng was walking leisurely through the trading zone when he suddenly stopped and his lips curled up in a smile. He turned his head to a certain direction and walked over.
“That’s a divine weapon! But what a pity; why is it a bow? What a waste of materials!”
This bow was completely blue in color, and an intricate dragon was carved onto it, causing it to look extremely beautiful!
A Xiantian expert was looking enraptured at the bow, and a bright gleam flickered in his eye.
“What do you want for it?”
Another Xiantian Lord approached the stone platform and stretched his hand out to touch the bow.
“I’ll offer three stalks of Pachyma Spirit Roots!” An effeminate Xiantian Lord also walked over and directly said.
The bow’s material was extremely special, perfectly complementing his ice attributed cultivation technique. They could be said to be mutually complementing if paired together. The only pity was that the bow was not his ideal choice of weapon. However, it was not a big deal. He could always find someone to reforge it into something else.
“What a grand gesture!”
The other Xiantian Lords around them were lost for words. The first person to make an offer actually raised such a high price from the start!
The Pachyma Spirit Root was a peak Grade 3 spirit herb. Its medicinal strength was extremely strong, and three stalks of it would virtually guarantee a peak Evolved Jing master a breakthrough to the Xiantian realm!
Yan Mobei’s current cultivation was revealed with one glance by the Xiantian experts. He was quite clearly at the half-step Xiantian level. Without any external supplements, he would need at least 10 more years before he could attempt to assail the Xiantian barrier!
Furthermore, it was not a guaranteed success. If he failed, it would require a great amount of time in seclusion just to attempt the breakthrough again.
Yan Mobei’s face was wreathed in smiles at this moment. Quite obviously, he had not expected that this bow would actually be so popular.
At this point, a stalwart man pushed the crowd aside and said with a gruff voice, “I’m offering three Hundred Year Cinnabar Fruits!”
“Si!”
All the experts nearby collectively drew in a cold breath of air as they heard this. The Hundred Year Cinnabar Fruits!
Cinnabar fruits only grew on the most treacherous lands and the steepest cliffs. Although it was similarly a Grade 3 spirit herb, its medicinal strength was one fold greater than the Pachyma Spirit Root’s!
Most of the people here had only gathered to watch the fun. Only a small portion cultivated in ice attributed techniques and desired the bow.
Despite the many different offers, the highest offer was ultimately the three Hundred Year Cinnabar Fruits. Those around the store were clicking their tongues with exasperation. It was truly infuriating to compare oneself with others!
They were all similarly Xiantian Lords, but they were actually so poor. On the other hand, there were people rich enough to buy weapons with rare treasures like the Hundred Year Cinnabar Fruit!
The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in this world had become increasingly sparse. The prices of spirit herbs had also risen drastically. In contrast, cultivation and martial techniques were the ones whose prices had dropped to the thrash tier. The reason for this was simple. Without sufficient resources, there was no way to train in the techniques no matter how strong it was!
Yan Mobei was in a state of complete crazed excitement. He had not expected that this bow would fetch him three Hundred Year Cinnabar Fruits! He looked about the crowd and after making sure that there were no more calls on the bow, he prepared to announce the end of the bidding session.
“Hold up. I’ll offer a life for this bow!”
A light voice tinged with frost and clear as snow rang out and pierced through the crowd.
