Upon hearing this, Jiao Long’s face suddenly turned sour.
Seems like, every ti he encounters Zhang Xian, he always ends up with the short end of the stick. He can’t win in a fight, and he’s even worse at bickering.
This damned rascal; not only is his strength not inferior, he also has a sharp tongue.
His mouth twitches unnaturally a few tis as he glares at Zhang Xian, "Little guy, you can strut all you want now. Let’s hope you can maintain this bravado till the end."
"Definitely."
Zhang Xian chuckles, "The fight has only just begun. Let’s see who gets the last laugh."
"You just wait!"
Jiao Long gives a cold smile as he strides past with his people, seemingly having sothing to sell as well.
"Are these people your enemies?"
Jun Wuhen steps forward, smiling, "Two Innate masters. It seems their camp is quite formidable. If you need help, just say the word. As a friend, I definitely won’t stand by and watch."
"Sure, since Brother Jun admires , I’ll do my best to help when the ti cos."
Zhang Xian is sowhat surprised to find Jun Wuhen offering his help. But as he genuinely wishes to form an alliance, and he’s quite a decent guy, Zhang Xian won’t reject him.
With Jun Wuhen on his side, their odds of winning soar. As long as Jiao Long doesn’t receive help from any Innate masters, a loss is inevitable.
"No problem."
Jun Wuhen nods, "Let’s head in first."
Zhang Xian follows Jun Wuhen into a long corridor, leading them to a large hall.
At this mont, there are quite a few people waiting in the hall. Clearly, they have all co to sell things. Because of the privacy involved in selling items for auction, they must operate separately.
Jiao Long and his team are also among them.
"There are quite a lot of people. Let’s wait," Jun Wuhen said, smiling.
Zhang Xian nods, finds a spot to sit down, and quietly waits.
Duan Hong, Zhu Qing, Wen Yulan, and Mu Cheng, walked up to Zhang Xian, huddling close to him, looking a bit fearful. It seems that there are many masters in the hall.
According to them, this wasn’t an event they should be attending and didn’t have any interest in doing so. They’d rather be sleeping at ho. However, Zhang Xian insisted that they co, claiming it would familiarize them with the operations of an auction. In the future, they would be given similar tasks. Although they found it boring, they had no choice but to learn.
They already knew about Zhang Xian’s abilities. There would undoubtedly be nurous things for them to handle in the future. Surely, they couldn’t be pretty but useless decoration, right?
"Brother Jun, there don’t seem to be many Innate masters!"
Zhang Xian was a bit surprised when he only spotted seven Innate masters. This kind of trade fair should be very popular in the Minor Cultivation World, why are there so few Innate masters?
Even though Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners are a secret in today’s society, with the obscure schools hiding themselves in deep mountains, rarely making appearances, they wouldn’t be few in number given the vast population. Such big events in the Minor Cultivation World like this trade fair would surely attract many. However, even including himself, there were less than ten Innate masters. One could hardly help but think it was few.
"In the Minor Cultivation World, there truly aren’t many Innate masters. It’s incredibly difficult to make a breakthrough. In ancient large sects, they have deep foundations to rely on, thus they have many Innate masters."
Jun Wuhen added, "Of course, if we were to count everyone, there should be more Innate masters here than what we’ve seen. Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners are scattered throughout Huaxia, the number of people attracted to a local trading event can’t represent the entire Ancient Martial Arts world. So people might not have received the news, so might be too far away to make the trip, or simply are too occupied with other matters."
"Yes, it really is difficult to break through to the Innate level," Zhang Xian nods.
However, he is not an Ancient Martial Arts Practitioner, and does not know the hardships of the ancient martial path. If there were abundant Spiritual Energy, breaking through to the Innate level would be a piece of cake.
Ti slowly passes, and the number of people in the hall lessens, with no new arrivals in sight.
Soon, it was Zhang Xian’s turn.
The ones just before him were Jiao Long, Cao Ge, and their gang.
Upon exiting, Jiao Long gaze at Zhang Xian and says, "Little guy, better hurry inside! It’s not safe to carry things on you. You might lose them if you aren’t careful."
Zhang Xian countered, "No wonder you were in such a rush to go in. It seems that you don’t have much confidence in yourself and are afraid of being robbed."
"Hmph... Do you think I’m like you?" With a cold laugh, Jiao Long storms off with his people.
Zhang Xian’s mouth curves into a strange smile. Then, he follows Jun Wuhen into a small house inside.
The room’s interior is simple, just a table and a few sofas. On the opposite side of the table, an elderly man with glasses is seated, with two middle-aged n by his side.
Upon their entrance, the elder lifts his head, asking, "Do you have any good stuff?"
"Can’t say if it’s good stuff. Try auctioning it," Zhang Xian replies, taking out the prepared dicinal powder. "This powder can enhance physical strength, as well as the activity of the various tissues in the body. Combined, they could save around two to three years of cultivation ti. If used by soone who has already reached the Post Acquired Peak but has yet to breakthrough, it can increase the chances of breaking through to the Innate Realm... and not by a small margin."
"What..."
The elder’s eyes widen, astonished. "Your stuff... can improve the chances of breaking through to the Innate Realm?"
"Of course..."
Zhang Xian nodded, "Breaking through to the Innate is nothing more than breaking the existing shackles of the body. My dicinal powder can unlock a person’s potential, and it naturally becos easier to break through existing limits."
"Has anyone used this dicinal powder of yours?" the old man asked.
There are dicines that enhance bodily tissues and increase their activity, but their effects aren’t that great.
If what this little guy in front of him said was true - that it could increase the chance of breaking through to the Innate - this would undoubtedly be hundreds of tis more effective than regular dicinal materials.
You have to know, there are not a few people who use dicinal materials to assist their cultivation, and they use them for several years. This guy says you can save three years of ti with one use. Isn’t that hundreds of tis more potent?
Frowning a little, he asked: "Little brother, Are you sure the human body can withstand your dicinal powder?"
"Definitely."
Zhang Xian nodded, "This is a slow-acting dicine, it doesn’t explode all at once, its cycle can reach a month. Also, the combination of my dicinal powder is different from other dicinal materials. Generally speaking, those cultivation aid prescriptions only create an illusion, and don’t truly unlock one’s potential. My dicinal powder is different, it can be said that it doesn’t waste even a tiny bit of potential."
"If it’s indeed as you say, this is certainly a good thing."
The old man looked at the dicinal powder and said, "However, it seems that this thing of yours has not been accepted by anyone, and there’s no evidence to speak of, how am I supposed to auction it for you?"
"You auction it directly, you don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll take all responsibility."
Zhang Xian said, "During the auction you can also make it clear that the authenticity of the item has nothing to do with you, caution the buyers."
"Well..." the old man hesitated.
There have been auctions of this type before, so odd and curious items, no one really could estimate their value, so they could only buy according to their hobbies, and the auction house holds no responsibility.
However, Zhang Xian only had two types of dicinal powder, was it a little over-the-top to auction them in this special way?
You must know, special auctions are usually the finale, and there’s a sense of gambling involved. This new item could be worthless or a priceless treasure.
If Zhang Xian was telling the truth, this dicinal powder could indeed be the final auction item. The fear is, if this dicinal powder cannot achieve the said effect, after all, this type of dicinal powder is sowhat miraculous.
"You don’t intend to auction it?" Zhang Xian took back his dicinal powder.
He knew the effect of his item, if they won’t auction it here, he can take it to their Lingxiao Villa to auction it. Anyway, they were planning to set up an auction house there too.
What others see as a good item, he just sees as so-so. If he hadn’t just gathered the necessary dicinal materials, he wouldn’t even have bothered to prepare it. His cultivation thod is completely different from ancient martial arts.
This formula is specifically for body cultivators. How can a cultivator’s formula be compared with an Ancient Martial Arts Practitioner’s?
"Ah, little brother, don’t take it back! I didn’t say I won’t auction it!" The old man quickly grabbed the dicinal powder.
As long as Zhang Xian wasn’t bluffing, nothing else matters for now. The point of increasing the breakthrough rate to the Innate alone is enough to prove the sensation this dicinal powder could bring.
What is the concept of an Innate expert? How many people dream of entering the Innate?
"Heh heh... Can’t bear to part with it?"
Jun Wuhen chuckled, "I tell you old man, this kind of dicinal powder is a rare opportunity, if you auction it off, won’t you make a small fortune? And you can also make a na for yourselves. Although the location of the exchange eting is uncertain, there are only a few initiators. If they can bring out good items, it proves that the initiator’s appeal is strong enough, you guys are sure to profit!"
"Well..."
The old man chuckled nervously, "Alright, we’ll auction this item."
"That’s more like it!" Jun Wuhen chuckled.
The old man glanced at Zhang Xian, then carefully repackaged the dicinal powder, fearing to lose even a bit, cherishing it imnsely.
In fact, he himself was a Post Acquired Peak martial artist, unable to take that step forward for a long ti. However, the effect of this dicinal powder is still unknown, he dares not gamble, nor does he have the ability to gamble.
Once this kind of dicinal powder is released, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation, even under unknown effects.
The attraction of the Innate Realm is just too enormous, not many Post Acquired Peak martial artists can resist.
"Do I need to process any procedures?"
Zhang Xian looked at the old man and said, "You need to give so proof, right? Where am I supposed to collect the money later? Don’t just stand there in a daze!"
"Ah... Sorry, I was a bit distracted."
The old man laughed awkwardly, "Well, the procedure isn’t urgent, you first tell if anyone has used this dicinal powder before, it seems like you didn’t answer that earlier. I know, my question is a bit abrupt, but this relates to the level of shock this dicinal powder brings. If there really is soone who used it, then I will definitely promote it heavily, the effect will be totally different."
"Bang..."
Without responding, Zhang Xian slapped out a palm and the chair next to him turned into fine dust.
"Um..."
Seeing this, the old man’s mouth twitched rhythmically, just like dancing.
This youth in his early twenties is an Innate expert? Could it be that he stepped into the Innate at such a young age because of this dicinal powder? That’s really against the heavens, isn’t it?
