It is also the largest immortal city of the human race.
There are over 300 million cultivators residing in the Holy City. The five holy lands, twelve first-class sects, and numerous second-class sects have branches within the city.
Gao Yan didn't come to the Holy City for fun.
Instead, they planned to earn spirit stones through trading to increase their earnings.
Although he has used the miraculous medicine on his close friends and family over the years, he has still accumulated quite a lot of it.
After splitting off dozens of soul seeds, Gao Yan infiltrated the souls of the cultivators in the city and read their memories, thus obtaining the information he wanted.
Half an hour later.
Gao Yan arrived at the branch of the Taiyin Holy Land.
The branch's management personnel are at the third level of the Sacred Realm.
The branch gate was guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators. Just as the two guards were about to drive Gao Yan away, he released the aura of a Dao Integration cultivator. Instantly, the two guards' expressions turned serious.
"Senior, is there something you need?"
"I have come to pay my respects to Elder Ye. Please help me convey my message!" Gao Yan said politely.
Seeing Gao Yan's politeness, the two gatekeepers breathed a sigh of relief and said they would go and convey his message.
After waiting at the entrance for a while, a young Void Realm cultivator arrived. While sizing up Gao Yan, he asked, "I am Meng Gaoyuan, a branch steward. May I ask how you are addressed?"
"My name is Gao Xuan, and I would like to make a deal with Elder Ye!"
"Fellow Daoist Gao, please come in!"
Meng Gaoyuan led Gao Yan to a large hall, where a maid served him spiritual tea.
Half an hour later, Elder Ye from the Holy Realm finally appeared!
"Rogue cultivator Gao Xuan greets Elder Ye!"
Gao Yan stood up and greeted the other party.
"Um!"
Upon hearing that Gao Yan was merely a rogue cultivator, Ye Ganfeng's expression became somewhat indifferent.
After both parties were seated.
Ye Ganfeng didn't ask Gao Yan's purpose, but instead picked up his teacup and started sipping his tea!
"Elder Ye, the reason I've come to you is to make a deal with the Holy Land behind you!" Gao Yan said with a smile, unconcerned by the other party's arrogance.
"Do business in my holy land?" Ye Ganfeng looked at Gao Yan with amusement. "What does Fellow Daoist wish to use as a bargaining chip?"
"A miracle drug!"
Gao Yandao!
Upon hearing the words "miracle drug," Ye Ganfeng's expression changed drastically, and he stared intently at Gao Yan: "Is it true!"
"Elder Ye, you don't think I came here on purpose to make fun of you, do you?" Gao Yan said with a half-smile.
"Ha ha!"
Ye Ganfeng laughed loudly to cover his embarrassment, and said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Gao, I have been negligent. Please forgive me. How about we talk somewhere else? I recently acquired a few ounces of top-grade spiritual tea. Let's taste it together!"
"Then... I shall respectfully comply!"
A short while later.
The two moved to a pavilion in the backyard, and at the same time, the array covering the entire courtyard was activated to prevent others from eavesdropping.
Ye Ganfeng also took out the top-grade spiritual tea he had mentioned, brewed a pot himself, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Gao Yan.
Thank you!
Gao Yan took a sip, then took out a jade box and gestured for Ye Ganfeng to open it.
Ye Ganfeng took the jade box, opened it, and looked at the lotus petal lying inside. His eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed excitedly, "This is the Ice and Snow Divine Lotus!"
He then quickly closed the jade box, held it in his hand, but was unwilling to put it down, staring at Gao Yan and asking:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, what do you want?"
"Spirit Stones!"
Gao Yandao said.
Upon hearing that Gao Yan wanted spirit stones, a look of astonishment flashed across Ye Ganfeng's eyes. He had thought that Gao Yan might want cultivation techniques, Dao crystals, or even holy weapons, but he did not expect that the other party would only want spirit stones!
"Elder Ye, what do you think of 15 trillion low-grade spirit stones?"
Gao Yan said calmly that he had sold it to the nine patriarchs for ten trillion low-grade spirit stones.
Upon hearing Gao Yan's offer, Ye Ganfeng's expression remained calm, but after a moment of silence, he said, "15 trillion is too high, how about 10 trillion?"
Gao Yan chuckled and shook his head: "Elder Ye, you should understand that I didn't make a random offer. 15 trillion is a fair price. Besides, I have more than one Ice and Snow Divine Lotus!"
Upon hearing the second half of Gao Yan's sentence, Ye Ganfeng's breath hitched, and his eyes flickered. Clearly, he had been tempted by greed.
But he wasn't stupid. The person in front of him could tell him that there was more than one Ice and Snow Divine Lotus, so he obviously had his own reliance. Besides, the other party was only taking spirit stones, so there was no need to take this risk!
"Fellow Daoist, if I may ask, how many Ice and Snow Divine Lotuses do you still possess?"
Gao Yan said calmly, "That depends on how many spirit stones Elder Ye can come up with. Here's what I'll do: I'll give Elder Ye three days to gather the spirit stones. I'll come to visit again after three days. As for this Ice and Snow Divine Lotus, how about you leave it here?"
"Fellow Daoist, you trust this old man so much?" Ye Ganfeng was somewhat surprised.
"It's not that I trust you, but this mere Ice and Snow Divine Lotus is nothing to me. If Elder Ye were to covet this Ice and Snow Divine Lotus, you would only lose more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yan got up to take his leave.
After a slight hesitation, Ye Ganfeng activated the formation, released Gao Yan, and left!
Watching Gao Yan's figure disappear into the backyard, Ye Ganfeng's expression changed several times.
In the end, he still didn't send anyone to follow them!
After walking a distance from the Taiyin Holy Land branch, Gao Yan did not notice the follower and couldn't help but smile: "He's a smart guy!"
He did not make any further effort to hide his presence.
Instead, he found an entertainment venue to stay at.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
Gao Yan once again visited the branch of the Taiyin Holy Land.
