The few individuals, respectively, are Golden Core cultivators from the Celestial Joy Sect, Cloud Peak Sect, and Golden Light Sect.

In particular, a middle-aged man named Master Kong Chen from the Celestial Joy Sect.

Although the other party concealed it very well, Ji Haoyuan still felt traces of malice from him.

He could confirm that this should be their first encounter.

But where does this seemingly half-hearted malice towards him come from?

There is only one explanation.

That is, the other party must have detected, through some connection or secret technique, that he killed their sect's cultivators in the Thousand Streams Secret Realm days ago.

Indeed.

One must not underestimate anyone in the Cultivation Realm.

Especially in such Golden Core sects with many years of heritage.

Maybe they have some Daoist skill or secret technique that locks onto the murderer of their sect's cultivators under certain conditions or proximity.

However, Ji Haoyuan wasn't particularly concerned about this individual.

Not to mention that in the Dan Ding Immortal City, the other party didn't dare act impulsively.

Just based on his Golden Core initial stage cultivation, Ji Haoyuan was not afraid at all.

If he really overestimated his abilities and dared to attack, Ji Haoyuan might just have to send him to reunite with his juniors.

After some time passed.

The transaction meeting hosted by the Dan Ding Sect finally officially began.

First, Meng Jiyue presented the first item for trade.

It was a Calming Heart Glaze Pill.

This can help cultivators enter the Void Spirit Realm and has a considerably good auxiliary effect for comprehending cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

Although it can't compare to certain unparalleled treasures that directly enhance a cultivator's comprehension, for most cultivators, this Calming Heart Glaze Pill is currently the best auxiliary cultivation technique pill they can access.

Soon, the Calming Heart Glaze Pill that Meng Jiyue presented was exchanged by an old woman with mid-Golden Core cultivation.

Next, a Golden Core cultivator from the Upper Cloud Sect, also from the Yue Country Cultivation Realm, took out a palm-sized piece of Yuan Magnetic True Steel.

This is a precious material for forging Yuan Magnetic magical treasures.

Any treasure possessing Yuan Magnetic power generally has considerable suppression over various metal attribute magical treasures.

Ji Haoyuan was quite interested in this.

Unfortunately, what the other party wanted was a breakthrough pill to help a Golden Core initial stage cultivator transition to the mid-Golden Core stage.

This kind of pill, let alone Ji Haoyuan, even Meng Jiyue, a third-tier Alchemy Master from the Dan Ding Sect, did not possess.

If such a pill existed, it would certainly be internally consumed by their sect's cultivators.

It's unlikely to be brought to transaction meetings for trade.

When the Upper Cloud Sect's Golden Core cultivator returned to his seat with disappointment, someone else immediately took out a fiery red metal ore that looked like molten lava from his body.

Seeing that fiery red ore that resembled lava, Ji Haoyuan immediately sat up straight.

Because what the other party had presented was exactly the fire attribute Evil Qi Crystal he urgently needed.

Flaming Steel Fiend.

At this moment, the other party spoke:

"This is a third-tier Fire Attribute Evil Qi Crystal, Flaming Steel Fiend, and I want to exchange it for an equivalent Wood Attribute Evil Qi Crystal, or any related treasures of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan's slightly anxious heart immediately relaxed a bit.

Fortunately, the thing the other party wanted was something he happened to have.

But the next moment, before he could speak, Master Kong Chen from the Celestial Joy Sect took out a mass of green liquid swirling with intense evil qi from his body.

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to exchange this Spirit Wood Essence Fiend with your Flaming Steel Fiend, would that suffice?"

Seeing the item Master Kong Chen presented, the owner of the Flaming Steel Fiend hesitated slightly.

Simply because the Spirit Wood Essence Fiend presented by Master Kong Chen wasn't of the very best quality among Wood Attribute Evil Qi Crystals, it merely met his requirements.

But if there truly weren't any better Wood Attribute Evil Qi Crystals on site, he would eventually proceed with the exchange.

Yet it was at this moment that Ji Haoyuan's voice suddenly echoed.

"Fellow Daoist, I have a Green Jade Heart Crystal here; would you trade your Flaming Steel Fiend with me?"

While speaking, Ji Haoyuan had already taken out the Green Jade Heart Crystal that he obtained from Master Yunshang's cave days ago.

It was a four-sided crystal resembling jade.

Upon seeing the Green Jade Heart Crystal that Ji Haoyuan presented, the expression of the Flaming Steel Fiend's owner immediately showed delight.

Without a word, he handed the Flaming Steel Fiend to Ji Haoyuan, completing the transaction promptly.

Although in some sense, Ji Haoyuan's Green Jade Heart Crystal is slightly more valuable than the Flaming Steel Fiend presented by the other party.

Nevertheless, different people perceive different items, and hence, their values clearly appear differently.

The Green Jade Heart Crystal had little practical use for him.

While the Flaming Steel Fiend was exactly what he currently needed.

Therefore.

Even knowing that he slightly lost out in this transaction, he didn't mind.

Instead, it was Master Kong Chen on the other side who.

At the moment, he saw the item he wanted exchanged away.

Especially since it was Ji Haoyuan.

This made his expression slightly somber.

But given their level of cultivation.

Even if they harbored ideas or something else internally, they quickly adjusted outwardly.

The transaction meeting continued thereafter.

Unfortunately, Ji Haoyuan did not see any more items he desired until the meeting concluded.

Once the cultivators gradually left, Meng Jiyue promptly returned before Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, smiling as she looked at them and asked:

"Both of you, are you planning to stroll around Dan Ding Immortal City yourselves, or would you like to continue visiting my place?"

Upon hearing Meng Jiyue's words, Ji Haoyuan's heart was immediately touched, and he couldn't help but inquire:

"By the way, Senior Sister You Yue, do you know where in Dan Ding Immortal City I might obtain the Earth Thunder Stone currently?"

"Earth Thunder Stone?"

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan mention this item, Master Binghuo slightly hesitated for a moment, then promptly understood why Ji Haoyuan wanted the Earth Thunder Stone.

Meng Jiyue, however, looked at Ji Haoyuan with a slightly surprised expression.

But she didn't ask anything further; instead, she thought briefly and said:

"The Earth Thunder Stone you're referring to should be naturally formed, right?

Such treasures may not be available in my Dan Ding Immortal City.

However…"
