"Vanke Conference?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then walked straight to the door, opened it, and looked at the waiter standing outside.
"This is our first time visiting Qilin Island, and we know nothing about the Wanbao Conference."
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately took out a document about the Wanbao Conference from his storage ring and handed it to Qin Feng.
"Take a look first. If you're interested in participating, you can buy an invitation from our shopkeeper later!"
The man didn't say much; he simply turned and left after finishing his sentence.
Qin Feng closed the door and started looking through the documents from the Wanbao Conference.
The so-called Wanbao Conference is actually a large-scale trade fair where goods are exchanged for other goods.
At the same time, there are also many street vendors where you can barter, buy with spirit stones, or exchange with treasures of equal value.
Qin Feng happened to need some top-grade fire-attribute refining materials, so he was quite interested in the Wanbao Conference.
The Wanbao Conference is a three-day event, and today is the first day.
Ningxiang walked up to Qin Feng and said somewhat nervously, "I want to go!"
She simply wanted to broaden her horizons; aside from this training trip, she had hardly ever left the Miaoyin Sect.
Even when they go out, they won't stray too far from the Miaoyin Sect.
Qin Feng nodded and took Ningxiang to the innkeeper to buy an invitation before heading to the Wanbao Conference venue.
The Wanbao Conference was held in the open-air plaza in the central area of Qilin Island.
The entire open-air plaza was temporarily sealed off, and entry was not permitted without an invitation.
The invitations are very expensive, costing 100,000 high-grade spirit stones each, and each invitation can only bring one person.
Nevertheless, a large number of people still attended the Vanke conference.
The open-air plaza was packed with people; at a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people.
To prevent any disturbances, the four island lords of Qilin Island are also stationed there.
With four peak Immortal Emperors in command, even those at the same peak Immortal Emperor level wouldn't dare to cause trouble easily.
Qin Feng led Ningxiang to browse through the stalls one by one.
The top-grade refining materials that Qin Feng needed were extremely rare, so he had almost no hope and was just trying his luck.
After walking around for a while, Qin Feng still couldn't find the top-grade refining materials he needed.
However, he showed no intention of leaving, as there were several private trading sessions scheduled later.
In the center of the open-air plaza, there are more than a dozen wooden houses, each covering several hundred square meters, and each house is shrouded in an array.
Private trade fairs are held in these wooden houses and are organized by individuals. Entry requires a fee of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, the 100,000 high-grade spirit stones are calculated based on the number of people!
It has to be said that the eight island lords of Qilin Island are truly ruthless.
You need to pay spirit stones to visit Qilin Island, and you also need to pay spirit stones to stay there for an extended period.
To enter the Wanbao Conference, one also needs to pay spirit stones. A dozen or so wooden houses were built, and anyone who wanted to enter also had to pay spirit stones.
They're treating everyone on Qilin Island like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited or taken advantage of), making them easy targets.
But given their strength, they could only let themselves be slaughtered.
Qin Feng led Ningxiang to the vicinity of the No. 1 wooden house, where two guards at the Immortal King realm looked over.
The two gatekeepers sized up Qin Feng and Ning Xiang, and one of the round-faced men said indifferently.
"Fellow Daoists, please go to another trading house. Only Immortal Emperors are allowed to enter Trading House Number One!"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "I know!"
"But according to the rules of the Wanbao Conference, as long as I have pills or rare treasures used by Immortal Emperors, I can enter!"
The round-faced man was stunned for a moment, somewhat disbelieving. "You? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Qin Feng immediately took out a white jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it over.
This white jade bottle was what he found among his spoils of war. It contained five medium-to-high-grade pills used by Immortal Emperors: the Profound Yang Pill!
Although high-grade Xuan Yang Pills are trash to him, they are extremely precious to many Immortal Emperors.
The round-faced man glanced at Qin Feng before taking the white jade bottle, opening it to check, and after confirming that it really contained the Xuan Yang Pill, he returned it to Qin Feng.
"You can go in, but you need to pay double the entrance fee, 200,000 high-grade spirit stones per person."
Qin Feng frowned slightly, as he clearly remembered that this was not mentioned in any of the documents from the Wanbao Conference.
"Was this rule added temporarily?"
"Or is there a problem with the promotional materials for the Wanbao Conference?"
Although Qin Feng was not short of spirit stones, he was absolutely unwilling to be taken advantage of.
The round-faced man looked impatient. "This is an unspoken rule, understand?"
"If you can't afford it, please leave. Don't disturb the seniors inside!"
"Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly. He thought about it again and again. It was only two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. He felt that he should not cause any unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Ningxiang said, "I won't go in; I'll wait for you outside!"
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, but don't go too far!"
"Although Qilin Island is very safe, we cannot rule out the possibility of some desperate criminals taking risks."
Ningxiang nodded. "Mm!"
Qin Feng didn't say anything more. He took out 200,000 high-grade spirit stones and gave them to the round-faced man before walking into the wooden house.
Ningxiang watched Qin Feng enter the wooden house and then turned and left.
The round-faced man sneered disdainfully. "You're so clueless, I thought you dared to talk back to me?"
He then took out 50,000 high-grade spirit stones and gave them to his companion, chuckling, "I really didn't expect such a pleasant surprise today!"
"It's a pity there aren't many fools like that anymore!"
...
More than a dozen Immortal Emperors were already sitting inside the wooden house. As soon as Qin Feng walked in, all eyes turned to him.
Everyone was stunned to see that he was only at the early stage of the Immortal King realm.
"Why were you letting in a junior Immortal King?"
"According to the rules, if he has any useful pills or rare treasures on him, he can enter!"
"Little guy, take out what you want to trade and let us have a look!"
Qin Feng glanced around, then took out the white jade bottle containing five Xuan Yang Pills, and poured out one high-grade Xuan Yang Pill.
"This is a top-grade Xuan Yang Pill!"
"I have a total of five Xuan Yang Pills, three of which are of superior grade and two of medium grade!"
"I want to exchange for top-tier fire-attribute or lightning-attribute weapon-refining materials!"
"If any of you seniors have top-grade refining materials with other attributes, I'm willing to trade with you!"
"However, fire and lightning attributes should be prioritized!"
Everyone released their divine senses to examine the Xuan Yang Pill in Qin Feng's hand, and once they confirmed that there was nothing wrong, they withdrew their divine senses.
One of the burly men in gray robes looked at Qin Feng and said, "Young man, the trade fair hasn't started yet. Stand aside and wait!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked around and saw that there were still many seats available, so he walked towards the seat closest to him.
But just then, the gray-robed giant sneered. "Little fellow, wasn't what I just said clear enough?"
"I told you to stand aside and wait!"
