Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

A man with an imposing and domineering aura, whose beard cascaded down to his chest without wind, walked towards them, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Shi Jian, the 83rd generation disciple of Maoshan and the chief senior disciple!

Behind him followed a young man with a sinister face and an arrogant expression.

Shi Jian's only disciple, Shi Shaojian!

Qing Shi Sanren strode in, and Yun Xi Sanren also stood up.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, it is truly an honor to have you here at my gathering!"

Shi Jian lowered his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"Having heard the news while passing by, I, Shi, decided to join in the fun. I hope I won't disturb you."

Despite Shi Jian's somewhat cold attitude, Qing Shi Sanren didn't mind and turned around to introduce the situation with a radiant smile.

"Fellow Daoists, this is Shi Jian, the current senior disciple of Maoshan!"

These words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

"It's actually that Thunder and Lightning Dharma King? Shi Jian!"

"Fellow Daoist's reputation is widespread; meeting you today far surpasses the rumors!"

"It was truly the right decision to attend this gathering; to actually meet such outstanding individuals as Chong Tongzi and Fellow Daoist Shi!"

"......."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Qing Shi's face lit up with pride, as if they were praising him!

No wonder these people have such an attitude.

It's like a gathering of entrepreneurs in the city, and suddenly the son of the country's richest man shows up.

No wonder they were excited!

If you manage to establish a relationship with someone like that, even a mere flick of their fingertips would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime!

The same applies to Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren.

Shi Jian's appearance at the Hengcheng gathering brought them great honor!

If this gets out, then that will become a problem from now on.

Have you heard? The Green Stone Hermit and the Cloud Stream Hermit have such immense influence that they were able to invite even the chief disciple of a giant power like Maoshan!

Listen to that! What a delightful thing to say!

In the venue, I saw Shi Jian surrounded by admirers.

Yu Jianzi clenched his fist secretly.

First it was that double pupils, and now it's this Shi Jian!

Wherever he goes, Yu Jianzi causes a sensation. How come he's become a nobody here?!

At this moment, Shi Jian suddenly looked over, ignoring the obsequious people around him, and strode over!

Yu Jianzi's eyes lit up instantly.

Is Shi Jian... going to say hello to me?

That's right, besides me, who else here has the right to do so!

Yu Jianzi stood up and extended his hand in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, my name is Yu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Jian walked past him.

It's like a roadside path, nobody pays any attention to it!

In an instant, Yu Jianzi froze, his face stiff, his hand hovering in the air, unsure whether to extend or retract.

At the same time, Shi Jian had already walked up to Li Yu and spoke first.

"I never expected that the legendary double pupils would actually appear."

"My name is Shi Jian. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

Li Yu raised his eyes and stood up, speaking with a touch of emotion.

"My name is Li Yu."

"Speaking of which, I really do have a connection with Maoshan!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian asked with some curiosity.

"Oh? You have a connection with my Maoshan sect, Fellow Daoist Li, what makes you say that?"

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you are already the fourth Maoshan disciple I have encountered."

Who were the first few?

"Zhe Gu, Lin Jiu, Si Mu."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Shi Jian's eyes.

"So it was these brats."

"Speaking of which, it's been several years since I last saw them. I wonder how their cultivation is now, and whether they've been slacking off."

As they were talking, Shi Jian naturally sat down next to Li Yu and began to chat with him.

Shi Shaojian stood silently behind his master, occasionally casting curious glances at Li Yu.

Although Shi Jian was arrogant and domineering, even to the point of being dictatorial and extremely autocratic.

But he's also a human being! Humans have social behaviors.

Why would someone with such large, double pupils choose to associate with those worthless scoundrels instead of befriending others?

He must be crazy to do that!

Not far away, Yu Jianzi, who witnessed this scene, silently withdrew his hand and slowly sat down.

Double pupils...it's those double pupils again!

Damn it, is he cursed or something?

Thinking about his clownish behavior just now, Yu Jianzi couldn't help but blush.

A sense of resentment arose in his heart.

Double pupils? What a load of rubbish! The appearance of a saint? What a load of rubbish!

So what if you have an extra pupil in your eye? What's so special about that? Why should you be able to surpass me?!

However, Yu Jianzi's ever-changing expression was just like the man himself.

Nobody cares!

Sixteen Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered at the scene.

Soon, Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren announced the start of their exchange program!

An old cultivator with white hair and beard, whose life force was weak, spoke first.

"Gentlemen, I need something to prolong my life; I'm willing to pay any price for it!"

Faced with the old cultivator's request, no one spoke up for a moment.

There's no way around it; after all, longevity items are incredibly precious, and who wouldn't want one?

Even if I don't need it now, I'll need it sooner or later, so why would I reveal it?

Soon, the others spoke up one after another.

"I need three pounds of Seafrost Steel; I can trade it for Brightlight Grass!"

"Fellow Daoist, I have it!"

Does anyone have fallen petals and leaves? Price negotiable.

"Let's chat in detail, fellow Daoist."

"........."

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators started trading and chatting at this moment, haggling over prices, just like the Qi Refining cultivators below.

At this moment, Li Yu's gaze swept over them, and he slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, I need the Metal Magic Technique, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price."

Li Yu's very existence was already extremely remarkable, so this statement instantly drew everyone's attention!

However, metal-based techniques are still far too rare.

Of the more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators present, only three responded in the end.

Diamond Body

Use sharp metal to hone yourself and improve your physique.

【Sharp Metal Formula】

By concentrating sharp golden light and imbuing it into magical artifacts, their destructive power can be enhanced!

【Magnetic Gold Spell】

Once activated, it can interfere with the enemy's magical artifacts; once mastered, it can be used for one's own purposes.

Looking at the introductions to these three spells.

Li Yu frowned, clearly not satisfied.

Although he only needed the metal method to complete the five elements and fuse them to create a great technique.

However, the quality is too ordinary. If we just use this shoddy product, what if it affects the power of the Five Elements Technique?

Just as Li Yu was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to proceed or not.

Shi Jian spoke at this moment.

"Does Fellow Daoist Li need the Metal Technique?"

Li Yu turned around and his eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you have any?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian stroked his beard and spoke with a hint of arrogance.

"Having traveled the world for so many years, how could I not have some wealth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jian took out an ancient book.

Blood Gold Technique

Using one's own essence and blood, one can condense an ultimate golden light to kill enemies, but it can also corrupt the soul!

Seeing Li Yu flipping through the book with great interest, Shi Jian explained.

"This was obtained by me from a wicked cultivator I killed in my early years."

"This Blood Gold Technique is extremely powerful, and its ability to corrupt the soul is extremely difficult to deal with."

"Back then, I expended a great deal of effort to kill that evil cultivator."

"If this method is helpful to you, Fellow Daoist Li, then accept it. As for any exchange or anything like that, forget it!"

"Fellow Daoist is exceptionally talented and will surely have a bright future. Consider this Blood Gold Technique as an investment from me, and a way to make friends."
