Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 85 Alchemist Trade Fair

Two months have passed quietly, and the most important alchemist trade fair during the Pill Gathering is being held today. This is a place that can truly broaden one's horizons; most of the items here are extraordinary, and if you're lucky enough, you might even find some unexpected treasures...

That morning, Xiao Li, Su Wanyin, Mang Tianchi, and an elder from Yin Gu headed towards the venue of the Alchemist Trade Fair.

The Alchemist Trade Fair in Saint Pill City enjoys a very strong reputation in this region. Unlike other trade fairs, which are often a mixed bag, this trade fair is considered a high-level event if trade fairs were to be ranked.

The location of this trade fair is also in the outer region of Saint Pill City, but the location is not bad. It is situated at the junction of the outer and inner regions. It is said that this trade fair has grown so large because of the support of the Pill Tower.

And precisely because of this, it is extremely rare for things like murder and robbery to happen when exchanging items at this trade fair. After all, no one in the Pill Domain can escape the pursuit of the Pill Tower.

"Alchemist Trade Fair"

Xiao Li stood in front of a rather spacious building, gazing at the simple and crude calligraphy on the pale blue wooden frame.

Xiao Li walked slowly toward the entrance of the trade fair. When the guards standing on both sides of the entrance saw the badge on Xiao Li's chest, they slowly took half a step back and bowed to him.

According to the rules of this alchemist trade fair, alchemists who have reached the seventh rank or above are qualified to lead some companions into it.

As Xiao Li entered the passage, his gaze swept across the room, revealing a vast hall. Inside, there were numerous neatly arranged stone tables, resembling a market. Behind these tables, some figures who appeared to be stall owners sat cross-legged, their expressions lazy and not at all like business people. Of course, they weren't.

The hall was packed with people, most of whom were dressed in alchemist robes, clearly indicating that they were all alchemists.

"This alchemist trade fair is also divided into different levels. This is only the third level area. The second level area is on the second floor, and the first level area is on the top floor. However, there are conditions to enter the upper levels."

To enter the second floor, one needs to reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, while the third floor requires at least a seventh-grade alchemist or a Dou Zun level expert.

Su Wanyin introduced the alchemist trade fair to Xiao Li.

"Kid." Bu Tianchi patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and extended a hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.

With a bitter face, Xiao Li shared some of the pills he had refined over the past two months with Mang Tianchi. Mang Tianchi planned to go and see if there were any good items, since he was already there.

Xiao Li glanced at the first floor and found the items to be quite ordinary, so he went up to the second floor.

Upon entering the second floor, the noise subsided considerably. The second floor was quite spacious, with dazzling crystals laid out on the floor, resembling smooth mirrors that were almost blinding. On these crystal floors, there were also many crystal stands, and the items on them, even from a distance, were clearly of much higher quality than those in the main hall below.

"Hmm? Mysterious Bodhi Fruit!" Xiao Li immediately noticed a pale yellow fruit.

The Xuanpu Fruit is an extremely rare medicinal herb. It is a strange fruit that absorbs the energy of the earth's veins. It lies deep underground and absorbs the earth's energy just like a tree.

This Xuanpu Fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining the Xuanpu Foundation Building Pill, a top-grade seventh-rank pill. The Xuanpu Foundation Building Pill is one of the pills that Xiao Li wants to refine this time.

A peak seventh-grade pill has the potential to advance to the eighth grade. In fact, most peak seventh-grade pills can advance to the eighth grade by simply imbuing the pill with spirit, but this imbuing process is a huge hurdle!

The main ingredients for refining the Xuanpu Foundation Building Pill are three: Xuanpu Fruit, Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Ginseng King, and a seventh-order wood-attribute magic core.

Xiao Li stared at the Xuanpu Fruit. His action made the seller behind the stone platform stand up. The old man was not wearing an alchemist's badge, so he was obviously not an alchemist.

"How much is this?" Xiao Li asked.

The old man was startled when he saw the badge on Xiao Li's chest, then he said with a grin, "This Xuanpu Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Xuanpu Foundation Building Pill. Even if you don't refine it into a pill, it will still be effective if you take it directly."

"My price is not high; one Zongyuan Pill and one Xuepo Pill will suffice."

The old man quoted one Zongyuan Pill and one Xuepo Pill. The Zongyuan Pill can raise the cultivation level of a Dou Zong expert by one star, while the Xuepo Pill is a pill that assists Dou Zong experts in their cultivation.

The old man in front of them was clearly a Dou Zong expert, and his offer was reasonable.

Xiao Li took out two jade bottles and handed them to the old man. The old man carefully took them, opened them to check, and then happily packed up the Xuanpu Fruit for Xiao Li.

"Please take this. I'll also give you an extra Blood Python Branch as a bonus."

Blood Python Branch is one of the main ingredients for refining Battle Spirit Pill.

Xiao Li's purchase went smoothly without any setbacks. He then browsed the second floor and bought two medicinal herbs that he liked, but nothing else caught his eye.

Xiao Li then headed towards the third floor, which was the top floor. The threshold here was a seventh-grade alchemist and a Dou Zun expert, so the items there were definitely rarer!

At the entrance to the top floor, two elderly men stood with friendly smiles on their faces. Their robes indicated that they were from this trade fair. They did not have alchemist badges on their chests, but judging from the powerful battle aura emanating from them, they were clearly two Dou Zong experts with considerable strength.

When the two old men saw Xiao Li and his group, they were first taken aback. Then their eyes quickly swept over Xiao Li's chest. The dazzling seventh-grade badge made them look surprised. Such a young seventh-grade alchemist was a rare sight.

Then, he saw the beauty beside Xiao Li. Her clothes were from Yin Gu. Combined with her unclear cultivation level and such a seductive figure, she could only be one person: the Lord of Yin Gu!

The two elders clasped their hands in a salute to Su Wanyin, for the ironclad rule on the continent was to respect the strong.

Su Wanyin nodded and gave a brief response.

As Xiao Li stepped over the last step, the most mysterious rooftop came into view.

The top floor of this legendary alchemist's trade fair is not as spacious as the two floors below, but the decoration is extremely elaborate. It is not as dazzling as the second floor. The pale blue warm jade is spread out and permeates the entire top floor. When you step on it, a faint coolness flows into the soles of your feet, making you feel extremely comfortable.

"They're really rich. No wonder it's called Saint Pill City, using such jade to pave the ground." Xiao Li complained about the extravagance of Saint Pill City.

On this rooftop covered with warm jade, there were very few people, only a handful of a few dozen at a glance. But everyone who entered understood that if these few dozen people were outside, each of them would be a true powerhouse or a master alchemist capable of causing a sensation.

At this moment, Xiao Li saw Bu Tianchi's figure. Bu Tianchi was arguing with an old man.

"Buy it if you can afford it, leave if you can't. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because your cultivation is higher than mine. This is the Pill Tower! You think you can kill me?"

The old man who was competing with Bu Tianchi roared.

Mang Tianchi roared angrily, "Your price is ridiculously high! I offered four Grade 7 pills, and you still think it's too low? You want a Purple-Azure Supreme Pill? You're dreaming!"

"You say I can't afford it? Why don't you go and find out who I, Bu Tianchi, am? Even Xuan Kongzi wouldn't dare speak to me like that!"
