The middle-aged scholar waited for a moment, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he looked towards the masked man in black on his right and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Jia, please come in."
Xiang Sheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he stroked the front end of the armrest of his seat with the fingertips of his right hand. It can be seen that he understood the word "Geng" in his heart, but he showed a bit of confusion and retreat on the surface.
Seeing this, Fang Laodao skillfully whispered to comfort him:
“Don’t panic, Fairy Chen. The black market trades things that are shameful, and the participants will not easily reveal their identities.
The gatherings presided over by Taoist Yuan have always been counted by the Heavenly Stems. Fairy, when the time comes, follow the local customs and call others by their seat numbers."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly to show that he understood, then hesitantly said, "Then my identity..."
Taoist Fang laughed and said, "Don't worry, fairy, I will keep it secret for you.
The black market token that the old Taoist gave you can also conceal your face, so no one can see your true face."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Sheng's expression visibly relaxed.
Everyone present at the gathering was a smart person. She had behaved like this, and countless people saw her and had different thoughts.
But on the surface, the rally remained calm.
"Ha ha……"
A hearty laugh came from under the mask of the man in black:
"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan has said so, I will start by throwing out some ideas."
He took out a jade slip and said aloud:
"Decades ago, three major forces joined forces to forcibly break into the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm. I'm sure you've all heard of this."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stared at them, and no one responded.
Taoist Yuan waited for a moment, then said with a smile:
“Six years ago, the three major forces emerged from the secret realm, but were blocked from exiting by over twenty independent cultivators led by Mei Dao Ren. In the end, they were unable to engage in a fight.
Mei Dao Ren and his companions never mentioned what happened during that period, and no one knows until now.
Could it be that the jade slip that Fellow Daoist Jia took out is related to the group that went to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm?"
"Exactly!"
The masked man in black said proudly:
“Back then, this immortal was in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm. This jade slip contains the forbidden inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
I would like to exchange this for something to clean my face and body, either secret techniques or elixirs are acceptable."
"What nonsense!"
The old man at the T-position suddenly sneered, "It's not that I look down on Fellow Daoist Yuan's gathering.
The Heavenly Demon Forbidden Law has been lost for many years. How precious is this inheritance?
If Taoist A really had obtained the inheritance, he could have given it to any of the three major factions and received a very generous reward. Why would he bring it here to sell, right?"
Seeing someone trying to sabotage him, the masked man in black snorted coldly:
"Old man, what do you know?
The three forces jointly broke into the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm and had already obtained the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. If I gave it to them, I really wouldn't be able to sell it at a good price!
Moreover, the inheritance in this jade slip is incomplete, and can only be practiced to the mastery level at most.
If you don't believe it, just pass it around and take a look."
Having said this, the masked man in black raised his hand and slapped the table. With a light "whoosh" sound, the jade slip on the table immediately turned into a stream of light and shot upwards.
Bang!
Taoist Yuan took it, glanced at it briefly, looked up and asked with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Jia is so generous, aren't you afraid that someone will learn the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Technique on the spot?"
"Heh... Fellow Daoist Yuan doesn't understand restrictions, but he doesn't know a principle."
The masked man in black softened his attitude and explained:
"The prohibition is so profound and difficult. If you force yourself to remember it without understanding it, you will forget it in a blink of an eye."
"I see."
Taoist Yuan pretended to be stunned, looked at the jade slip for a moment, and handed it to the person with the character "wu" on the left.
It wasn't that he really didn't understand, but in order to avoid the trouble of explaining it himself, he deliberately passed the message to the masked man in black.
Sitting in the Wu position is a female fairy in red.
The female fairy's face was covered with mist. She took the jade slip and looked at it quietly for a moment, then handed it to the person sitting next to her with a very calm reaction.
The man sitting next to him in the Ji position was also very low-key. After taking a quick look, he handed the jade slip to the Geng position, that is, Xiang Sheng.
The so-called white wooden sign that could conceal the face was just a lie that Old Taoist Fang told to appease Xiang Sheng.
Seeing her, the only young female immortal who showed her face at the gathering, get the jade slip, everyone looked at her with veiled curiosity.
The emotions contained in those glances were either playful, or compassionate, or even lustful...
Xiang Sheng completely ignored him and looked at the jade slip in his hand with interest.
Just one glance and she curled her lips slightly.
The general outline of this jade slip is indeed the Heavenly Demon Prohibition, but the detailed explanation afterwards is nonsense, without a trace of truth.
The masked man in black turned out to be a liar who wanted to get something for nothing.
He is an earthly immortal after all, yet he does such a despicable thing.
It seems that no matter which realm the independent cultivators are in, their situation is not very good...
Thinking of this, she pretended not to understand and handed the jade slip to Taoist Fang on her left.
Taoist Fang had no talent for restrictions, so he naturally had no interest in the jade slip. He just pretended to glance at it twice before handing it to the person opposite him. He smiled secretly and asked in a voice transmission:
“Little Fairy Shen is from the Heavenly Demon Country. Has she ever been able to tell whether the jade slip is real or fake?”
“No.”
There was a hint of regret in Xiang Sheng's voice transmission:
"I heard from my elders that the Heavenly Demon Prohibition was once only learned by Heavenly Demons. Later, the Heavenly Demon inheritance was cut off, so people like us are even more..."
At this point, Xiang Sheng seemed to realize that he had let the cat out of the bag again, and immediately stopped talking.
A gleam of light flashed in Fang Laodao's eyes.
He is indeed the descendant of a human slave of Tianyao Country. I just don’t know how much wealth of Tianyao Country this human slave has inherited.
Once we get these resources, how are we going to divide them between Yuan Dao Ren and me...
Taoist Fang was thinking too far ahead for a moment, and at this time, the jade slip had been circulated and returned to the hands of the masked man in black.
Taoist Yuan spoke at the right moment: "I can't see any flaws in this item. I estimate its value... 5,000 Immortal Spirit Stones. Is there anyone willing to bid?"
When the masked man in black heard the words "five thousand fairy stones", a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
There was a moment of silence. The man in green at the Ji position spoke coldly, "I have a bottle of high-grade White Stone Pills, twelve in total, worth three thousand Immortal Spirit Stones. I'll give you another two thousand. Would you like to exchange them, Fellow Daoist Jia?"
The masked man in black was delighted when he heard this.
Bai Shidan, a whole bottle!
If he could absorb and refine all of it, the weakness of his weak body would be immediately remedied!
Although he was eager to get the treasure, the black-clothed masked man's tone showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"There's only one bottle of White Stone Pill? If you can tell me the origin of the White Stone Pill..."
“No comment!”
Before the masked man in black could finish, the man in green interrupted him coldly, "If you don't want to change, forget it."
The masked man in black was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Change!"
The man in green immediately threw out a storage ring and handed it to Yuan Daoist: "The elixir and the immortal stone are all in it."
After Taoist Yuan checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he took the jade slip and asked both parties to complete the exchange.
From beginning to end, Xiang Sheng just watched coldly without saying a word.
