Before they even left Kunmen Square, the Eighth Elder had already arranged for disciples from the inner courtyard to deliver the spiritual medicine.

After Qin Xin accepted all the spiritual herbs, he found that there were a few that even the Eighth Elder did not have. He felt a little regretful. Moreover, these spiritual herbs were the main ingredients for the Azure Frost Pill and the Spirit Stabilizing Pill. If he could not find them, it would mean that these two pills could not be refined.

Although Danqing was present and could forcibly extract the strange fire with the help of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Fire-Repelling Pill, the risks involved were beyond Danqing's control. Qin Xin was naturally aware of this. With the assistance of these two spiritual herbs, there would be more protection and his chances of successfully extracting the strange fire would increase.

That's why Qin Xin was so persistent.

With a heavy heart, Qin Xin headed to the Kunmen Trading Center, hoping to try his luck there.

After searching, Qin Xin found many rare spiritual herbs among the disciples who had set up stalls. Although he exchanged some of them with pills and spiritual energy, he still couldn't find the main ingredients for the Azure Frost Pill and the Spirit Stabilizing Pill.

After wandering around for a while, Qin Xin arrived at the Kunmen Pill Shop and found that the person selling pills there was a young girl whom he did not recognize.

After thinking it over, Qin Xin realized that Qin Xue must have brought her here to help, since the girl was from the Fan Hua Pavilion.

Without disturbing him, Qin Xin turned and walked towards the outside of the Kun Gate.

He planned to visit the other seven sects to see if he could find the main ingredients for the Azure Frost Pill and the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill.

Along the way, Qin Xin encountered many disciples from the inner court, but these disciples were all in a hurry and ignored Qin Xin as he passed by.

After all, Qin Xin is now a member of the Kun Sect, the weakest among the eight sects of the inner courtyard, and is naturally not taken seriously. Qin Xin did not care too much about this.

After wandering around the trading centers of the other seven sects, Qin Xin realized that the other seven sects were much larger than Kun Sect in terms of both the number of disciples and their scale, and their trading centers also had more rare items.

Seeing the rapidly dwindling amount of pills and spiritual energy in his hand, Qin Xin maintained a sliver of rationality and refrained from exchanging too many spiritual herbs.

It wasn't until they arrived at the Ganmen Trading Center that Qin Xin was truly awestruck by the enormous plaza before him.

Unlike the other seven sects, the Kun Sect's trading center is located outside the Qian Sect, where disciples from all sects sell and trade items.

After wandering around for a while, Qin Xin turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly sensing a subtle fluctuation emanating from the mysterious fragment of the map, Qin Xin became somewhat puzzled.

"There's something good in the southwest, bottom left corner!"

Danqing's voice suddenly appeared in Qin Xin's heart.

Following Danqing's guidance, Qin Xin discovered that the object was the one that caused the fluctuations in the mysterious fragment of the map.

When Qin Xin walked up to the disciple's stall, he didn't immediately focus his gaze on the item. Instead, he looked at the other items. This was to prevent the stall owner from noticing Qin Xin's interest in the item and then trying to overcharge him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Xin also carefully observed the appearance of that thing.

On a rusty piece of iron, there are several marks that look like characters, but due to its age, the characters have been completely corroded and are no longer legible.

Seeing Qin Xin constantly examining the item on the stall, the stall owner, who was meditating, slightly opened his eyes. A sense of oppression suddenly emanated from him, and he said, as if issuing a warning, "If you've looked enough, get out of here."

Seeing the man's rudeness, Qin Xin chuckled helplessly and pointed to a rather valuable fifth-grade spiritual herb on the stall, saying, "How much for this spiritual herb?"

The stall owner looked at Qin Xin with some suspicion and said, "Two Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills."

Upon hearing the stall owner's request, Qin Xin frowned. Although the spiritual herb was grade five, it was not an expensive pill among grade five spiritual herbs, so its price was generally not very high. Usually, it could be exchanged for a grade four low-level pill at most. However, this stall owner wanted two Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills, which was obviously an exorbitant price and a deliberate attempt to rip him off.

Suppressing his anger, Qin Xin patiently said, "Although this is a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, asking for two Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills is a bit excessive."

When the stall owner heard that Qin Xin knew so much about this fifth-grade spiritual herb, he glanced at it and said, "Oh? You're an alchemist."

Qin Xin nodded slightly.

But to everyone's surprise, the stall owner didn't budge just because he was an alchemist. He said absentmindedly, "At least one Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill. If you don't have one, you'd better leave quickly. I don't have the patience to haggle with you."

Seeing the stall owner's strange temper, Qin Xin didn't say much. He took out a Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill and held it in his hand, pretending to be reluctant, saying, "Alas! This fifth-grade spiritual medicine is exactly what I need, but it's not worth exchanging it for a Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill."

After Qin Xin took out the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, the stall owner's aura changed slightly. He only opened his eyes to glance at the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill before closing them again.

"However, I have one condition: please include all of these items as well." Seeing that the stall owner was showing some signs of relenting, Qin Xin casually pointed to several other spiritual herbs on the stall, as well as some inconspicuous refining materials, including the rusted iron sheet.

When the stall owner saw that the items Qin Xin pointed to were all worthless, he slowly nodded.

Before Qin Xin could hand over the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I'll offer two Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills, and I'll take all of these!"

Qin Xin turned around and saw two familiar faces behind him, which made him feel a chill.

The two people who stepped forward were Ruan Yuan and Xia Qi, the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After Xia Qi spoke, Ruan Yuan took out two Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills and stepped forward, staring arrogantly at the stall owner. Then he stared coldly at Qin Xin. After all, Ruan Xiaoman had been killed by him in the inner region. Although the group had witnessed it, they all knew the final outcome.

"I have completed the transaction, don't go too far!" Qin Xin stared at the two men, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Qin Xin's words, Xia Qi smiled slightly and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "In the trading center, the highest bidder wins. As long as the stall owner is willing, they can give it to whomever they want."

Xia Qi's voice also attracted many disciples to come forward.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xin's killing intent intensified. It was obvious that Xia Qi and Ruan Yuan's interference was intentional.

However, the stall owner did not say a word from beginning to end. He just sat cross-legged on the ground. Some disciples who were originally discussing around the stall quickly shut up when they saw the stall owner's appearance. They seemed to be very afraid.
