Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Liu Yu agreed happily and said:

”That’s great.”

He still had several hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones and a few lower-grade Spirit Stones in his possession, which were entirely worthless.

To a Chao Origin Stage Cultivator, middle-grade Spirit Stones are a relatively low-level resource; top-grade Spirit Stones are more suitable.

Han Yan also nodded, the feeling of happiness transmitted after the Spiritual Artifact devoured the Spiritual Fiend indicated it benefitted greatly.

Purchasing high-tier resources to accelerate the nurturing of spiritual nature in a Spiritual Artifact is a worthwhile deal from any angle.

The resource Fire Phoenix Soul-Burning Fiend is not produced much in the Western Continent; she had only heard of it before, and this was her first time seeing the real thing.

Compared to Fire Element Essence, the red-tinted gold color of the Spiritual Fiend showed even more vibrant spiritual allure.

The three individuals pooled their resources together, Ji An rode the cloud up high and said in a deep voice:

”Fellow cultivators, I wish to purchase some Fire Phoenix Soul-Burning Fiend. Middle-grade Spirit Stones, Tier One Top-grade Talismans, or Foundation Establishment-level Pills are all acceptable for trade.

Interested cultivators may come forward for inquiries and negotiations; satisfaction guaranteed on the price!”

Although his voice was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of the cultivators within a mile radius.

At the same time, he summoned the Earth-Departing Flame Banner, the Spiritual Artifact transformed into a cluster of fire clouds, forming the image of a Fire Phoenix circling above his head.

The Phoenix’s long feathers trailed with nimble flames, maximizing the advertising effect.

Some cultivators came flying over together and cupped their hands:

”Dare I ask which kind of Top-grade Talisman the senior holds?”

Unless one is an Artifact Refiner or has a personal need, in the end, these Spiritual Fiends are bound to be sold; as long as the price is satisfactory, it doesn’t matter who buys it.

”Bursting Fireball Talisman and Pan Mountain Talisman.”

Ji An took out the talismans and held them above his head to let others see.

People are curious, even cultivators are no exception. Some gathered around him discussing prices, while more stood outside, watching their transactions with interest.

Additionally, there were some cultivators who felt uneasy about such transactions and left directly without looking.

”In Golden Lion Ridge Immortal City, the acquisition price for a thread of Fire Phoenix Soul-Burning Fiend is three spirit stones; what price does the senior intend to offer?”

”Thirty-two stones for every ten threads.”

The cultivators jeered:

”This price is too low, and trading in the Immortal City is safer.”

Ji An smiled kindly and said:

”Are the Spirit Stones I offer fake? Besides, with so many of you here, I wouldn’t dare to rob even if I wanted to.”

In the Immortal City, raising the price would certainly offend the local shops, but without a price advantage, these people would not choose him either.

Moreover, he is just a Chao Origin Stage Cultivator, on someone else’s territory he must abide by their rules as they need to resupply here.

The crowd laughed; some cultivators inquired about the types of pills, everyone settled on a price, and Han Yan and the two maintained order and began trading systematically.

...

When Sang Chen arrived with his entourage, the cultivators were already leaving in groups of threes and twos.

Some cultivators flew towards the direction of the Immortal City, while many dispersed and left; they were from nearby Cultivation Clans.

’A step too late!’

Sang Chen felt frustrated, yet his expression remained calm as he instructed:

”Ahu, spread out with the others to search, shoot a Signal Talisman immediately upon discovering the target!”

Ahu nodded, ”Understood.”

He handed the Signal Talisman to two cultivators from the Immortal City, admonishing:

”Do not hesitate upon finding the target; the enemy is ferocious.”

The pursuit of the four fellow Chao Origin Stage cultivators’ deaths made him realize the target’s strength. Individually, the four fellow cultivators may not be extraordinary, but being attacked by four Black Corpses is no joke.

Though he couldn’t confirm if the target discovered here was the one they intended to capture, caution never hurts, and discerning true from false should be left to the master.

At this moment, Ahu had little hope of tracking the target. They had no time to bring a large force, and in such an open area, thousands of people wouldn’t have been too many.

It was nearly impossible to find a single person among so many cultivators with only a few of them, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

However, finding the cultivator who harmed Sang Za was the master’s obsession, and he didn’t dare to advise against it.

After Ahu and the others left, Sang Chen said with a gloomy face:

”Recall carefully the location where you encountered the target; we’ll rush over to see.”

Zhang Kun chuckled bitterly; he could only remember roughly the area, but seeing the other’s expression, he had to pretend to recall carefully.

Even the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall treated him with respect, and he didn’t dare to disobey in the least.

After a moment, he looked enlightened and pointed in a direction:

”Senior, I remember now, head in this direction, beside a low Red Cloud Pine at the mountain foot.”

He no longer hoped to receive the reward; the volcanic eruption had already ended, and the cultivators were leaving sequentially.

Moreover, the target is a Chao Origin Stage cultivator, and their Flying Escape speed is much faster than that of other cultivators.

Sang Chen traveled by cloud, but did not reveal the level of his Golden Core Stage Spiritual Pressure. He understood the possibility of finding the target was slim, but held a glimmer of hope.

The two flew to the location Zhang Kun mentioned, naturally to no avail. Sang Chen rode the cloud into the air and began circling the volcano.

...

Ahu flew for a while and saw a group of cultivators gathering mid-mountain in the distance. Curious, he stopped a cultivator flying over from that direction, arrogantly asking:

”What’s happening over there for such a large gathering?”

The cultivator was only mid-stage Foundation Establishment and, upon seeing Ahu riding the cloud, immediately cupped his hands and said:

”Senior, several cultivators are purchasing Fire Phoenix Soul-Burning Fiend, spending lavishly, offering prices ten percent higher than selling in the Immortal City.”
