Although the gods did not gain any benefit from this, if things continue like this, the demons will eventually perish.
Therefore, this temporary ceasefire can give the demons a chance to catch their breath.
“Ayan, I had the demons find out about the Rejuvenation Elixir and the Azure Honey Essence. The Rejuvenation Elixir can be nurtured in the Heavenly Pool of the God Clan, while the Azure Honey Essence appears in Xia Nu City.”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan's eyes lit up with joy.
With the current tensions between the gods and demons, obtaining the Resurrection Elixir from the gods will likely be difficult. The best course of action is to first obtain the Azure Honey Essence from Xia Nu City.
"Ah Yu, I'm heading to Xia Nu City now. See you there." Ruan Xiyan changed direction, abandoning her journey to the Demon Realm and heading towards Xia Nu City instead.
"Okay, Ayan, be careful." Junyu instructed.
Ruan Xiyan was not close to Xia Nu City at the moment. While cultivating on the spirit ship, she was also rushing towards Xia Nu City.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Ruan Xiyan looked at the small town that appeared in front of her and decided to rest there for a while.
By the way, let me add some information about the food and utensils in the Wind Spirit Space. After traveling day and night, the items in the space have been almost used up.
In the town, Ruan Xiyan strolled around, buying some things she needed.
At a tea stall in the distance, Zi Ren looked at Fu Chi Shang, who was sitting there looking anxious, and comforted him, "Your Highness, don't be too anxious."
"I heard that although Her Highness the Goddess was punished by the God and imprisoned in the Valley of Bones, she has now been released and the God has not restricted her freedom."
“My sister is a goddess of the gods. He still expects her to fight for him. She is still useful to him, so he will not keep her locked up in the Valley of Bones forever.”
"I'm worried because my sister has been punished by heaven. I need to see her with my own eyes to put my mind at ease. But we finally found a clue in this small town about how to solve the problem of the Mind-Avoiding Cone. We can't let all our efforts go to waste."
“Your Highness, that person looks like Sect Leader Ruan,” Zi Ren suddenly said.
“Xiao Xi.” Fu Chishang looked in Ruan Xiyan’s direction.
Upon hearing the noise, Ruan Xiyan turned her head and saw Fu Chishang. She raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting to encounter him so coincidentally on the Nine Provinces Continent.
“Sect Master Fu,” Ruan Xiyan called out, “What a coincidence.”
"What a coincidence! I went back to the cultivation continent before and heard from them that you went to the Nine Provinces Continent. I was thinking that the Nine Provinces Continent is so vast and I didn't know where to look for you. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Sect Leader Fu, what are you doing here...?"
“There’s a black market auction in this town tonight, and some of the items being auctioned happen to be things I need, so I’d like to go.” Fu Chishang looked at Ruan Xiyan, “Xiao Xi, are you just passing by?”
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
“If you’re not in a hurry, Xiaoxi can go and take a look at the auction in this black market,” Fu Chishang invited. “Although this is just a small town, the owner of the black market is an unparalleled expert.”
"His business spans the entire Kyushu continent. He personally organized this auction, so there must be many good items. Perhaps Xiaoxi will find something she needs."
"I'm tempted by what you've said." Ruan Xiyan pondered for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the black market auction with you tonight."
The black market is heavily guarded and not accessible to ordinary people; a token is required to enter.
As night fell, Fu Chishang took out the black market auction token he had prepared in advance, and he and Ruan Xiyan successfully entered the black market.
Ruan Xiyan and the others sat in a private room, looking towards the auction site.
Soon, the auction began, and a masked man walked onto the platform.
"I am Yi Shu, the master of the black market, and I will personally preside over this auction today." The man, with an elegant demeanor, stood on the high platform.
"It's actually the Lord of the Black Market. Being able to meet him makes this auction worthwhile."
"It is said that this black market lord has a powerful background, and there are countless good things at every auction."
Various murmurs arose from below.
Ruan Xiyan sized up the masked man on the platform. "This is the Lord of the Black Market. He looks rather strange."
“It is somewhat mysterious,” Fu Chishang agreed. “But as the lord of the black market, it’s normal for him to be a little mysterious. Xiaoxi, just tell me what you like at the auction, and I’ll buy it for you.”
Ruan Xiyan's eyelids twitched. This Sect Master Fu was always incredibly enthusiastic towards her, sometimes even making her suspect that he had ulterior motives, but everything he did was open and honest.
"Sect Leader Fu, what are you here to bid on at the black market auction?"
"The highlight of this auction is the Cloud Gang Bottle."
"The Cloud Gang Bottle?" Ruan Xiyan murmured.
"The Cloud Bottle has an extremely strong suction force, capable of drawing all things in the world into the bottle and restraining most treasures. It is not a divine artifact, but it has abilities comparable to divine artifacts," Fu Chishang and Ruan Xiyan explained.
They chatted casually, and the auction proceeded smoothly under Yi Shu's direction.
Ruan Xiyan wanted to try her luck at the black market auction to see if she could find the spiritual herbs she needed, but unfortunately, she did not succeed.
Although Ruan Xiyan was somewhat disappointed, it was actually within her expectations. Those six spiritual herbs were extremely rare and not so easy to come by.
Fortunately, she managed to photograph some other herbs, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
"This is the last item up for auction tonight, the Cloud Gang Bottle," Yi Shu said. "I imagine many people have come here specifically for this treasure."
"There is only one Yun Gang Bottle. The highest bidder wins! Whoever wins the bid will make a profit. Without further ado, the starting bid is 880,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"Eighty-eighty thousand top-grade spirit stones! How come the price is so much higher than I expected? Even the grand finale items on weekdays don't cost this much." Someone wondered.
"After all, this is an auction personally hosted by Young Master Yi Shu, so it's understandable that the final item is priced higher than usual. I'll bid 900,000 top-grade spirit stones!"
"Nine hundred and one thousand."
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand."
Fu Chishang gestured to Ziren standing behind him, who understood and raised the price, saying, "One million."
"One million one hundred thousand."
"One million two hundred thousand."
"Two million," Zi Ren said again.
They came specifically for the Cloud Bottle, and they were determined to acquire it regardless of the price.
"Two million two hundred thousand."
Three million.
"......"
Everyone looked toward the private room where the voice had come from—where did this God of Wealth come from! Every time he raises the price, it almost doubles; who can compete with that?
With Zi Ren's determined voice, he finally won the Cloud Bottle for three million top-grade spirit stones.
After the auction ended, the waiter carried the items they had won into the private room.
