This was also why among the five nations of the Cangnan Region, the Liang, Yun, and Yan Nations were regarded as an entity, and the Shu and Zheng Nations were regarded as an entity.
It was not only because of the distance between them, but also because of the difference in strength between them. The land size and resources of both sides were on different levels.
As far as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew, the Zheng Nation was almost as large as the Liang and Yun Nations combined.
From this, it could be inferred that the cultivation resources in Zheng and Shu Nations were definitely several times more than the Liang, Yun, and Yan Nations.
“That won’t be necessary.”
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan waved at the Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of him.
Then, he left quickly with Shen Ruyan.
Before coming, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already learned a lot about the cultivation world of the Zheng Nation, including the route to the Hundred Treasure Market.
From their current location, the journey to the Hundred Treasure Market was not too far.
With their current strength, it would only take them half a day at most.
As soon as they arrived at the Hundred Treasure Market, the two of them saw Liu Linglong and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jiang family already waiting for them at the entrance of the market.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Liu Linglong and the others immediately went forward.
After the two sides greeted each other, Liu Linglong said,
“Brother Jiang, Sister Shen, 1 just received news that the cultivator with the Earth Source Crystal is preparing to hold a small trade fair in the Jade Restaurant he opened in three days.
When the time comes, he will most likely take out that Earth Source Crystal for people to bid.”
Ever since more than ten years ago.
After Liu Linglong successfully broke through to the Violet Palace, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan asked her to change the way she addressed them.
At first, Liu Linglong felt that it was not appropriate to call them brother and sister.
However, the couple insisted, so Liu Linglong didn’t refuse.
Now, the relationship between them was clearly much closer than before.
Upon hearing Liu Linglong’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frowned.
Bidding the Earth Source Crystal in a trade fair would undoubtedly decrease the chance of them obtaining it.
If they wanted to obtain it, they would probably have to pay a price more than what it was worth.
Moreover, during this process, they might even offend some people.
“Is there any way to contact that fellow Daoist to let him sell the Earth Source Crystal to us in private. It’s ok if we have to pay a higher price.”
After careful consideration, Jiang Chengxuan thought that this was the best solution.
In his opinion, the reason why the other party wanted to hold a trade fair was to sell the Earth Source Crystal for a good price.
Since this was the reason, there was naturally room for negotiation.
As long as they could obtain the Earth Source Crystal, even if they really had to pay a higher price, they didn’t mind.
However, Liu Linglong shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Brother Jiang, I’m afraid we can’t do that.”
“Why?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were puzzled. A trace of doubt appeared on their faces.
Liu Linglong continued, “As far as I know, other than us, there are also some cultivators from Golden Core sects and families who want the Earth Source Crystal in his hand.
If he really sold the Earth Source Crystal to us in private, he would undoubtedly offend those people.
To him, this is clearly not worth it.”
“It seems that he wants to sell the Earth Source Crystal for a good price and avoid trouble at the same time.”
Upon hearing Liu Linglong’s words, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but say.
“In that case, we can forget about that idea. It’s basically impossible to obtain the Earth Source Crystal in private.”
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and the others did not stay any longer. Soon, under the lead of Liu Linglong and the others, they arrived at an inn that had been arranged beforehand.
They were prepared to attend the small Trade Fair in three days.
At the same time, 10 to 20 invitations were suddenly sent out from the Jade Restaurant to many different places.
Jiang Chengxuan also received an invitation from the other party.
The content was the same as what Liu Linglong had said before. Three days later, a small Trade Fair would be held at the Jade Restaurant, and the host hoped that they could participate on time.
Just like that, three days passed in a flash.
This day.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Liu Linglong, and a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Jiang family went to the top floor of the Jade Restaurant where the small trade fair would be held.
When Jiang Chengxuan and the others arrived, they realized that there were already more than ten people here, most of them above the Violet Palace.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others sat and waited.
Gradually, more people came, but not too many.
About four hours later, there were no more newcomers.
Jiang Chengxuan took a look around and realized that there were less than 30 people qualified to participate in this Trade Fair.
This scale could indeed be said to be a small Trade Fair.
“Haha!”
At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the door.
Everyone immediately turned around to find a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes who looked to be in his forties and had a stable cultivation level at the ninth level of the Violet Palace suddenly walked in.
This person was the initiator of this small Trade Fair and also the person who had the Earth Source Crystal.
He was Daoist Tong Hai from the Primordial Yang Valley, one of the four Golden Core forces in the Zheng Nation.
He cupped his fists at everyone present and said, “Thank you, fellow Daoists, for giving me face and participating in the small Trade Fair I organized.
Without further ado, let’s begin.”
With that, Daoist Tong Hai shifted his gaze to a man in a brocade robe and said with a smile,
“Young Marquis, how about we start with you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gazes immediately landed on the man in a brocade robe called Young Marquis.
This man was called Shangguan Sheng, the most beloved son of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
He was not even 300 years old, but he was already at the seventh level of the Violet Palace. He was the junior with the highest chance of advancing to the Golden Core in the Shangguan family.
When he heard Daoist Tong 1 lai’s words, he immediately laughed.
Then, he pushed out two beautiful women with graceful figures from behind him.
Most importantly, the cultivation of these two women had reached the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment.
At this moment, the Young Marquis, Shangguan Sheng, said,
“Since Brother Tong Hai said so, 1 naturally won’t stand on ceremony.
Here.
The two female servants at the late-stage Foundation Establishment are not only virgins, but they are also good at serving people. They are things I specially chose to exchange for treasures with Fellow Daoists present.
I wonder if any of you are interested.
If there is, you can show me the treasure you have and give me a price.
If I’m satisfied, these two female servants will be yours..”
