In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 165 New Map, Abundant Resources

However, despite not caring, when Yan Yong brought over an extremely heavy box, Yan Dong still subconsciously scanned it with his divine sense.

His expression immediately changed.

With just a sweep of his divine sense, he could tell how powerful these metallic materials were!

Even with the quality of his Yuan energy, he could move freely within it without any hindrance!

Even though he wasn't a weapon refiner, Yan Dong could still understand what this meant!

In fact, this batch of materials was indeed different from those previously taken from Wu Yu. They were quite expensive, costing him two or three hundred million just for the materials in front of him. Shen Xing had prepared more than a dozen different materials this time, and what he took out now was not even the best quality or the most expensive.

Of course, the materials that were auctioned off in Wu Yu before could only be used by innate experts, but this one is the standard level for forging third-realm armor, so it can be said to be really high-end.

If it were brought into this world, its value would inevitably be high.

Judging from Yan Dong's expression at this moment, it's clear that the problem isn't even the price, but rather the sheer difficulty in finding such a thing!

"Is this material that was refined once by nobles?" Yan Dong could tell that it was not a pure natural metal.

It was clearly smelted.

"Exactly," Shen Xing said with a smile. "No matter how powerful a divine weapon is, it requires sufficiently powerful materials to be made. Although these are not rare items in our race, they are still quite valuable."

Yan Dong thought of the powerful "spaceships" in the images he had seen before, and he began to value these materials even more.

That's a divine weapon capable of fighting against demons from the sixth realm!

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he can forge divine weapons might drive some weapon refiners crazy if they knew about it.

Some powerful forces, and even the three great empires including the Lan Kingdom, will be eyeing it covetously.

It should be noted that there are only two such divine weapons in the entire Lan Kingdom, which are regarded as national treasures!

"These things are too precious, and I can't let Young Master Shen suffer a loss." Yan Dong pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll consider part of them as my purchase, and I'll use the other part to help Young Master Shen exchange for some treasures of equal value. Even asking a fourth-grade alchemist for help is not out of the question."

He was not greedy because of the value of these things.

On the one hand, even if a divine weapon were forged, it probably wouldn't reach his hands.

On the other hand, he had not forgotten that some of his clansmen had not yet arrived.

If his clan finds out that he swindled a lot of their treasures, he'll probably have to pay back double what he swindled.

Shen Xing nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

All I can say is that his fabricated claim of "having clansmen to meet him" was a huge deterrent to such a powerful figure.

Moreover, a powerhouse like Yan Dong has a firm mind and is not easily swayed unless it concerns the interests of his own Dao.

At least, what we have right now is not enough.

Seeing that Shen Xing agreed, Yan Dong readily had several jade bottles brought over, all filled with the same type of second-grade pills, totaling more than five hundred.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment.

Although there are enough of them, he is no longer very willing to use pills of this level.

"Young Master Shen, you may not know this," Yan Dong said with a smile, looking at Shen Xing's expression. "This pill is called the Xuanhuang Pill. It is a mid-grade second-rank pill with mild medicinal properties. Even those in the Body Refining stage can take it to increase their cultivation. At the same time, it is easy to refine. Therefore, our Sacred Lake Region uses it as money."

"I see." Shen Xing suddenly realized.

Indeed, for martial artists, elixirs are a very good general equivalent.

First of all, the value is comparable, and even if there are differences in quality, the difference will not be too great.

Secondly, there's the issue of practicality and universality. If what Yan Dong said is true, then even if this kind of elixir isn't used as currency, it can easily be exchanged for valuable items, and its purchasing power is relatively stable.

"One Xuanhuang Pill can be exchanged for one hundred Xuanyuan Pills." Yan Dong then took out a mid-grade first-class pill. "And one Xuanyuan Pill is worth about two taels of gold or twenty taels of silver."

Shen Xing did a rough calculation and discovered that these five hundred Xuanhuang Pills were equivalent to one hundred tons of silver!

That's already an astonishing number.

However, considering that he searched the entire Wu region and only managed to find a little over four hundred high-grade second-rank inner energy pills, and more than one hundred of them were made by seven alchemists, the exchange rate wasn't unreasonable.

It's already a fortune that even an imperial clan couldn't produce!

In contrast, although this pill is only a mid-grade second-class pill, judging from how Yan Dong took out five hundred of them in one go, it was clearly far from his limit and he did it very easily.

Nothing reveals the difference in martial arts strength between two regions better than the difference in resources.

It can only be said that the resources possessed by such a region are clearly incomparable to those of the Wu region.

As expected of a "new map," it has abundant resources, making his hard work in finding this place worthwhile.

Even second-grade pills are enough to circulate as money, so there's no shortage of even more powerful resources!

Shen Xing only did a slight conversion, and he became even more excited about this region called "Holy Lake Domain"!

"I see." Shen Xing looked at the dozens of jade bottles and told Jiang Yan to put them away. "Keep ten bottles, and put the rest into the warehouse."

"Yes." Jiang Yan was equally amazed. How could Wu Yu possibly see so many second-grade pills at once? Even the Spring Rain Chamber of Commerce wouldn't be able to produce them.

However, he remained outwardly calm and composed.

After following Shen Xing, aside from other things, my knowledge and experience have increased a lot.

"Brother Yan, if you can find any resources related to the dragon lineage, whether it's divine will inheritance or anything else, I'm willing to pay a high price for it," Shen Xing said with a smile. "To be honest, although my clan has many paths, the dragon lineage is the most suitable for me."

"Dragon type, huh?" Yan Dong, seeing Shen Xing emphasize the Dragon type again, seemed thoughtful, and finally said generously, "Leave it to me. I must live up to Young Master Shen's title of 'Brother Yan.' Yan Qing, make sure to treat Young Master Shen well and do not neglect him in the slightest!"

He spoke the last sentence in a deep voice to a middle-aged man behind him, his tone serious.

"Yes, Father." This Yan Qing was also a Grandmaster of the Third Realm, but he dared not show the slightest disrespect in front of Yan Dong.

In fact, this is a characteristic of many martial arts families.

Our ancestors are greater than heaven!

After all, Yan Dong, who could live for over a thousand years, was the greatest foundation of the clan. Moreover, if Yan Qing could not break through to the fourth realm, he would definitely die before Yan Dong.

"Young Master Shen, please feel free to do as you please in this town. Your name still carries some weight here," Yan Dong said with a smile to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing nodded with a smile.

After some "social interaction," the two seemed to have become even more harmonious.

After Yan Dong left, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

It's clear that they were under immense pressure facing this ancestor.

However, at this moment, everyone was quite curious about Shen Xing, but they were all very respectful and dared not overstep their bounds in the slightest.

They had all witnessed their ancestor's attitude towards this person, and the shock they felt was indescribable.

This is someone who can talk to the ancestor on equal terms!

That alone makes it impossible for them not to be respectful.

However, Shen Xing didn't care.

With his current strength and confidence, only those at the fourth level or above are worthy of his attention. If he always smiles at everyone, it will only lower his status in this world.

Therefore, when facing the others, he simply smiled and said, "I don't need so many people here. Your name is Yan Qing? You can come with me to the Wanjuan Pavilion that Brother Yan mentioned earlier."

"Yes," Yan Qing replied respectfully.

They showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever because of Shen Xing's attitude.

He wasn't stupid; he could clearly see how much his ancestor valued the person in front of him.

Moreover, one of the attendants behind this young master Shen is also at the same level as him, the third realm!

At that moment, the others, though disappointed, could only bow respectfully and leave.

Yan Qing had already begun introducing Shen Xing.

"Young Master Shen, you may not know this, but the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion is a rather mysterious force that emerged about two thousand years ago. They collect myriad scrolls of divine intent from all over the world and then share them. No matter who you are, even someone as lowly as a beggar on the street, you have the opportunity to obtain divine intent inheritance from them. If you have outstanding talent, you can get even more. The Myriad Scrolls Pavilion is therefore highly respected and has even cultivated many powerful individuals."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Shen Xing suddenly became quite interested.

This already reflects an awareness of comprehensively selecting talent.

There may even be a consciousness that gathers the strength of many people to develop the entire martial arts.

also--

"To achieve this level, one's strength must be considerable," Shen Xing said.

"Exactly." Yan Qing smiled. "In the beginning, many forces and powerful figures recklessly tried to seize the divine will inheritance of the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion. However, all those who did this were forcefully killed by the powerful figures of the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion. Once, even a Spirit Realm expert perished because of this, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Sacred Lake Region."

"The fall of just one Spirit Realm cultivator is enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire Sacred Lake Region?" Shen Xing seemed somewhat surprised.

"this"

Yan Qing was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "Spirit Realm experts live for thousands of years and can fly and escape into the earth, guarding a region. There are only about a hundred of them in the entire Sacred Lake Region. If there is no great war, it is not possible for any of them to fall for decades."

"Oh?" Shen Xing raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like things are quite peaceful here."

"."

Yan Qing was at a loss for words.

Peace?

Of course not. The three great powers are constantly at war with each other, and various forces are competing and killing each other. Even in this Zhenguan City, there are hundreds or thousands of different forces of all sizes. If it weren't for the Eastern King's Mansion being there, there would probably be rivers of blood every day.

However, that was a powerful expert in the Spirit Realm!
