This price has caused many potential competitors to back down. Two Grade 9 precious pills plus a scroll of Heavenly Rank cultivation technique—this is arguably the highest price ever paid. If it were cheaper, these people would be willing to take the gamble and try the effects, but at this price, many are simply unwilling to pay.
Xiao Yan felt the same way, thinking the price was a bit too high. A ninth-grade treasure pill could even help a Dou Sheng expert break through to the next level, so exchanging two for it was really exaggerated.
Although Guiyuan Prefecture has three ninth-grade alchemy masters, the failure rate of ninth-grade pills is still very high. This time, they relied more on the geographical advantage of the Medicine Clan. If they had refined the pills in Guiyuan Prefecture, it would have been a great success if two of the four of them could have successfully made the pills.
The one-star Dou Sheng expert was clearly unwilling to accept the silence that had fallen. He desperately needed the resources to break through, but despite his repeated inquiries, no one made a bid. Just as he was about to put the pills away in frustration, another figure appeared.
"My friend, I don't have any ninth-grade pills, but I have something else I can exchange with you."
A glimmer of hope finally appeared in the eyes of the one-star Dou Sheng, but his expression became noticeably conflicted after hearing the offer.
Xiao Yan and the others knew who was making the bid, because Zi Yan had reacted again, and it was clear that the people from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix were interested in these items.
"Regardless of whether this thing works or not, we can't let those guys like the Heavenly Demon Phoenix get what they want!" Zi Yan said with great dissatisfaction.
The loathing and hatred for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was almost etched into the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, so even though the effects of this thing were unknown, Zi Yan was willing to cause them trouble.
Lei Jingxiao, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat tempted by these words and transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan.
"Brother, could you take a picture of this? How much would it cost? I'll figure out a way to make it up to you later."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I won't let them have their way."
So Xiao Yan transmitted his voice to the man and said, "Friend, how about a ninth-grade precious pill, a scroll of Heaven-rank cultivation technique, and a scroll of Heaven-rank fighting skill?"
For Guiyuan Mansion at present, there is no shortage of resources for Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and Heaven-rank fighting skills, but pills are indeed quite scarce, so Xiao Yan chose to use cultivation techniques to replace pills.
However, this matter is the same for everyone. Pills are a scarce resource for everyone. When that one-star Dou Sheng heard Xiao Yan's voice transmission, his expression softened a bit, but he was still somewhat conflicted. What he really wanted was a ninth-grade pill that could effectively improve his cultivation.
"I can discard this cultivation technique and combat skills, but could you give me two pills instead?"
"Friend, we don't know the origin of this thing, and we don't know how effective it will be. One grade nine pill is already my limit. After all, the other person who is interested in this thing probably can't even afford one grade nine pill, right?"
Xiao Yan's tone was very confident, which immediately made the one-star Dou Sheng's heart skip a beat, because Xiao Yan's guess was indeed very accurate.
There was nothing they could do; Xiao Yan's competitors were magical beasts. No matter how strong the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was, they couldn't possibly have any reserves of ninth-grade pills. In this aspect, they had no advantage whatsoever over humans.
The one-star Dou Sheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to make the deal with Xiao Yan, giving him the hurricane energy.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan borrowed another Rank 9 pill from Huo Zhen. He didn't have any Rank 9 pills in reserve; the only one he had was a Rank 9 Profound Pill, but this was something he absolutely couldn't exchange.
It was only because he was the lord of the manor that he was able to pay on credit in this way. However, Huo Zhen didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all, and instead handed over the pills quite readily.
Seeing the miraculous hurricane-like energy being swept away by Xiao Yan, the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were indignant, but upon meeting Xiao Yan's calm gaze, they immediately averted their eyes. They were well aware of their predicament and did not want to truly provoke Xiao Yan, this god of death.
The person who truly met Xiao Yan's gaze was not a simple figure in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan; he was the next clan leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Jiu Feng.
After withdrawing his gaze, he couldn't help but say in a low voice, "The Guiyuan Prefecture is truly arrogant!"
The Dou Sheng expert beside him, who was also the leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, saw his displeased expression and promptly comforted him, saying, "They're just a bunch of rabble who've offended the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. Young Master, just wait and see. Sooner or later, they'll fall again."
"I know all of this. The enemy is powerful, so our best option is to lie low for now."
Jiufeng cast one last, subtle glance in the direction where Xiao Yan and Zi Yan were, before calming herself down once more.
"As long as Young Master is willing to be patient, we will always find an opportunity. Just like the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, they were originally arrogant, but now they still have to cooperate with our clan. There is no point in fighting for a short time."
"The clan leader has already devoured a Southern Dragon King. If we can swallow this Ancient Void Dragon Emperor, then the time for our clan's rise will truly arrive..."
……
Xiao Yan never imagined that he would see the Heavenly Demon Phoenix at this trade fair. However, it was not an ordinary Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but a huge skeleton left behind by a Heavenly Demon Phoenix that had fallen many years ago.
What's even more amazing is that the Heavenly Phoenix's skeleton is incomplete; its head and tail have disappeared, leaving only a huge torso and two enormous bone wings on its back.
Xiao Yan was shocked mainly because the wings of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix took up three-quarters of its entire body, an exaggeratedly unbalanced proportion. Xiao Yan had seen normal Heavenly Demon Phoenix members before, and while their wings were also very eye-catching, none of them had such exaggerated proportions.
Xiao Yan stared intently and saw that the proportions of the Demon Phoenix's skeleton were not exaggerated. Although it should have been dead for a long time, thin Dou Qi still flowed on its bones.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. But the key point is that when Xiao Yan's soul perception touched the skeleton, he actually felt an extremely strong and ferocious aura. The faint perception that Xiao Yan released was actually forcefully pushed back. Xiao Yan's true form also changed his expression slightly when he felt this. He felt that it was as if a powerful Heavenly Demon Phoenix beast was lurking inside those huge wings.
It should be noted that Xiao Yan's soul power had already reached the late stage of the Heaven Realm. If it were just a matter of comparing souls, ordinary Dou Sheng would be no match for him. However, his skeleton had been dead for many years, yet it still possessed such power, which was truly extraordinary.
