This person grinned at Zhao Sheng, his mustache twitching twice, quite comically.

Zhao Sheng's expression remained indifferent as he nodded slightly in response, ready to shift his gaze away.

Just at that moment, a layer of dazzling, strange light suddenly emerged deep within this person's eyes, rapidly rotating to form two rainbow-like vortices.

A bizarre alien power shot out from them, following the invisible line of sight, and quickly entered Zhao Sheng's eyes.

The scenery around Zhao Sheng suddenly changed, the hall and everyone vanished, and he found himself surrounded by a luxurious pink and ambiguous bedchamber.

Silky pink curtains rolled and lifted, revealing ten stunning beauties stepping out, clad in thin gauzy robes, their graceful curves outlined, making flirtatious gestures towards Zhao Sheng.

"Such a trivial illusion..." Zhao Sheng paid no attention to the women around him, quietly observing the surroundings, as a dazzling divine light suddenly emerged at the center of his brow.

Boom—

Invisible lightning swept over, causing all the beauties to vanish, while the pink bedchamber shattered and disappeared, returning his sight back to the hall.

The middle-aged fat man shuddered slightly, the rainbow light in his eyes disrupted and then disappeared, his face showing a baffled expression like he had seen a ghost.

Zhao Sheng's gaze turned cold and electric as he looked back.

The man immediately slapped his head, smiling apologetically at Zhao Sheng.

Although this secret struggle was covert, everyone present was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and naturally could sense it. Everyone wore expressions of surprise.

"Mr. Lei, that person is Mr. Dengcao, a legendary figure of our state, with Nascent Soul Realm eighth level cultivation, specializing in illusion techniques and divine skills. This person is actually not bad, just playful and often jokes around with illusions among fellow Daoists, without malicious intent. Oh, by the way, he hails from the Ke family. But a thousand years ago, for some unknown grave mistake, he was expelled from the Ke family, stripped of his clan status, and sent wandering the human world as he enjoys a life of leisure." Zhao Chengping's voice echoed in Zhao Sheng's mind.

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng recalled the illusion just now, truly lacking any offensive intent, so he ignored the man.

Seeing this, Mr. Dengcao relaxed, behaving honestly, but still occasionally glanced at Zhao Sheng curiously.

As time passed little by little, soon an hour had gone by, during which several more Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.

About thirty minutes later, with no one else showing up.

"Ke Chang, the time is about right. I have a furnace of Treasure Pills to refine, we can start the exchange meeting." The elder in a crimson robe opened his eyes and spoke coldly.

Taoist Ke Chang hesitated slightly. Although the number of people was less, since the Treasure Tripod elder had spoken deliberately, starting was only right!

"The time is about right, let us begin the exchange meeting. This time, there are a total of twenty-nine fellow Daoists participating. As a humble Taoist, I welcome everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to be here, and on behalf of the Heavenly Illusion Ke Family, I thank you all." Taoist Ke Chang nodded, stood up, and looked around with a bow.

"There's no need for these pleasantries, let's just start." A Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator with a broad face and large ears said faintly.

"Hehe, since everyone seems eager, let's start. The rules of the exchange meeting are the same as before. If there are any disputes during the transactions, please resolve them on your own. As a humble Taoist, I will not be responsible for them." Taoist Ke Chang laughed lightly, showing no anger, and spoke loudly.

"If that's the case, then let us begin with Mr. Chen." As Taoist Ke Chang's words fell, a bald old man next to him stood up.

He slapped the Qiankun Bag on his waist, the light flashed, and an Ice Crystal Jade Box appeared in his hand.

The Jade Box was entirely a dark blue, emanating cold air all around, and a biting chill quickly spread in all directions, causing the white clouds below to visibly freeze into a thin layer of ice.

Those present were all knowledgeable, seeing this scene, they all knew the contents of the box were extraordinary, and their eyes were instantly drawn.

The bald old man saw everyone's expression and showed a hint of pride as he slowly opened the Jade Box, revealing a fist-sized multifaceted blue crystal inside, entirely crystal clear, with strands of "Blue Light" flowing within.

A faint law fluctuation spread from the blue crystal, immediately transforming the pleasant and warm hall into an icy and snowy world, countless snowflakes fluttered down, and the nearby Magic Platforms even spontaneously congealed into layers of solid ice.

"A piece of Extreme Cold Crystal Jade, produced from an ice meteor in the Outer Void, containing Mystic Crystal Origin Qi within, whether for cultivation or refining cold attribute magical treasures, it's the top choice." The bald old man sat down and spoke proudly.

Upon hearing these words, everyone present was visibly moved, and many revealed expressions of interest.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the blue crystal and then withdrew his gaze.

Such treasures containing the power of laws might be precious to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but it meant nothing to him. He currently possessed an Ice Soul Divine Pearl that nurtured the domain of the Ice Dao, far superior to this by countless times.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hong to have such a heavy treasure, but you haven't mentioned what you'd like to exchange for?" Taoist Ke Chang asked.

"I wish to exchange for an earth-element treasure of the same level or a Tenth Rank demon core." The bald old man said, his eyes scanning the people on the Magic Platform.

The Nascent Soul cultivators remained silent, with no one speaking up.

Those few Nascent Soul cultivators who had previously desired the item also showed difficult expressions, helplessly shaking their heads and smiling wryly. The item the other wanted was equally rare and hard to encounter.

The bald old man frowned at this scene.

"The two items you mentioned, I don't have them, would you be willing to exchange for Top-grade Spirit Stones?" A Great Han with a bare upper body and a golden face asked.

"I don't lack Top-grade Spirit Stones, if no one has the treasure I need, then let's leave it at that." The bald old man put away the Jade Box and closed his eyes.

The Great Han wanted to say something, but seeing the bald old man's demeanor, he reluctantly shut up.

"What I've brought are these demon beast spiritual materials, all from an eighth-stage sea monster, hoping to exchange for some Fourth-tier treasures to enhance cultivation." Another elder woman with crane white hair stood on the Magic Platform, waving her jade hand, revealing a large pile of green scales, a twenty-zhang long pale spine, and a colossal, house-like head akin to a ferocious seal, all emitting a fierce aura.

The eighth-rank demon beast's spirit materials were precious, but most cultivators present showed little interest, casting a glance before withdrawing their gaze, indicating they were not worth much.

However, the value derived from a Nascent Soul Realm Demon King's spiritual materials attracted some, eventually exchanged with ten bottles of Fourth-rank Spirit Revitalizing Pill by the elder in a crimson robe.

After the crane-haired elder woman, several more Nascent Soul cultivators got up to showcase their treasures.

After several successful exchanges, Mr. Dengcao stroked his beard and suddenly stood up, chuckling:

"Fellow Daoists, this time, I've brought a set of top-grade magical treasures. Thirty-six faces of Illusion Sky Banner, each refined into Six Treasures Prohibition, and six main banners are top-grade magical treasures. Deploying thirty-six faces simultaneously boasts infinite might, stronger than most ancient treasures by a whole level, the perfect item for protection, trapping, and defeating enemies. This treasure is exchanged for Mystic Crystal Origin Qi, the rarer the better in terms of law attribute. Priority for more quantity." Mr. Dengcao coughed lightly and waved his hand.

A series of spirit lights flashed before him, revealing a set of palm-sized Void Spirit White Banners, totaling thirty-six, among which six Treasure Banners were visibly larger and emitted denser, heavier spirit light.

Mr. Dengcao gestured, and thirty-six Treasure Banners flew up simultaneously, distributing themselves in a mysterious formation, then the white light blazed, drowning the entire hall in boundless white light.

The next moment, everyone was astonished to find themselves above an endless sea, waves shimmering below, the sound of seagulls crying reached their ears, and the unique scent of the sea filled their nostrils, everything felt so real.

Seeing this, those present were full of amazement.

Zhao Sheng gazed at this "real" sea scene, silently admiring it.

This set of top-grade Illusion Sky Banner is, to date, the most precious treasure.

Though the power of this magical treasure was considerable, he had no intention of exchanging for it.

Though Zhao Sheng remained unmoved, others were very eager. After several rounds of intense bidding, this treasure was exchanged for a hundred strands of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi, along with three other rare treasures.
