When Lin Feng calmly placed a jade bottle onto the wooden table, revealing the pill inside even the exquisitely beautiful oval face of Feng Qing’er revealed a hint of surprise.

After a slight pause, she continued in her crisp yet faintly cold voice: ”If you can offer me a pill that interests me, then you can take this Dou Technique.”

Hearing her offer, Lin Feng nodded slightly.

For a High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique, this price was reasonable.

High-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques were among the most complex and varied of the Earth Class category.

Don’t be fooled — although many techniques were all labeled High-Grade Earth Class, the difference between them could be like heaven and earth.

For example, when he had auctioned the Life Devouring Pill back in Black-Corner Region, the High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique that Jia Nan Academy offered was also considered low-grade.

These kinds of High-Grade Earth Class techniques were the more common ones found on the market, and something ordinary people might still have a chance to see.

Generally speaking, a high-grade seventh-tier pill was already enough to exchange for one of these.

On the other hand, the foundation-guarding techniques of factions like the Four Pavilion were also just High-Grade Earth Class, but compared to these low-grade market versions, they were on a whole different level.

Of course, the famous God Seal Technique of the Gu Clan was naturally among the top tier.

Although that technique’s rank was still only High-Grade Earth Class…even an average eighth-tier pill might not be enough to exchange for it.

”This old woman is willing to exchange a peak-grade seventh-tier pill — Mind Condensing Pill — for Miss Feng’s High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique!”

Just as Feng Qing’er’s crisp voice fell and before Lin Feng could respond, an aged voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

The sudden interruption made both Lin Feng and Feng Qing’er frown slightly, and they turned their eyes toward the source of the sound.

What they saw was an old woman with hunched back and black-and-white hair, leaning on a cane, walking out from the crowd.

On the side, Xiao Yixian heard the old woman’s words as well, and her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.

Although she didn’t particularly care about Feng Qing’er’s items…this person’s move clearly carried a provocative intent.

But this old woman evidently didn’t even regard Lin Feng and the others.

Her slightly cloudy, dark green eyes at this moment stared greedily at the Baleful Poison Yin Demon Arrow scroll.

This Dou Technique was simply far too important for her.

Ever since she had obtained the corresponding cultivation technique back then, she had been searching everywhere, hoping to find this matching Dou Technique.

Unfortunately, after painstakingly searching for hundreds of years, she had never found it.

Dozens of years ago, she had already completely given up on ever finding it.

Who would have thought that today, when she casually came to this trade fair to buy a few things, she would actually run into this Dou Technique?

As long as she could get her hands on the Baleful Poison Yin Demon Arrow, her strength would once again leap forward!

Therefore, no matter what price she had to pay — she had to claim it!

As the old woman appeared, a faintly sickly, poisonous stench slowly spread out into the surrounding air, making those nearby frown.

”The Granny Yin of the Myriad Poison Sect? Didn’t expect that old hag to show up too.”

Seeing this old woman, some in the nearby crowd clearly recognized her and whispered quietly.

”Heh… now this is going to be interesting. That old hag is an Eight-Star Dou Zong level. That kid’s not even a Dou Zong, so he’ll probably have to obediently withdraw from the competition.”

Seeing the scene unfolding, the nearby onlookers instantly perked up, surrounding the area to watch the show.

Since everyone present had decent strength, even when talking about the old woman, their tone didn’t carry much respect.

”Yeah, and her husband — that old toad — his strength isn’t any worse than hers either. This kid may have impressive strength for his age, but compared to those two old monsters, he’s still far behind.”

Hearing the comments up ahead, another high-level Dou Zong also chimed in with a laugh.

However, when speaking about Lin Feng, the man’s tone unconsciously carried a hint of astonishment.

After all, Lin Feng’s current strength was something even the most elite geniuses of their families couldn’t hope to match.

”Listen here — this is a trade fair, not an auction. Didn’t your family teach you about ’first come, first served’ when you were growing up?”

Seeing the old woman’s move, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke bluntly.

”Heh… brat, didn’t your family teach you that in this world, everything depends on strength?”

The moment someone dared block her from obtaining the Baleful Poison Yin Demon Arrow, the old woman instantly exploded in anger, her voice full of venom.

As she spoke, she suddenly stomped her cane.

A fierce aura burst out from her body, surging violently toward Lin Feng.

”Heh… strength? You’re not necessarily stronger than me!”

As Lin Feng’s words fell, Xiao Yixian at his side unleashed her full aura as well — the oppressive might of a Six-Star Dou Zong surged out, enveloping him protectively.

”Six-Star Dou Zong?!”

Sensing the fearsome aura radiating from Xiao Yixian’s delicate figure, the surrounding crowd’s expressions all turned to shock and disbelief.

No one had expected this dainty young woman to actually be a Six-Star Dou Zong-level powerhouse.

Lin Feng didn’t remain idle either — a vast soul force swept out from between his brows, lashing directly into the old woman’s mind.

”Ugh…!”

Caught off guard by the sudden spiritual attack, the old woman let out a muffled groan, her face instantly growing ugly.

Clearly, she hadn’t anticipated that Lin Feng would possess soul power of such a level.

”This soul power… a seventh-tier alchemist!”

Sensing the potent soul force, some people nearby muttered in shock.

Their gazes toward Lin Feng immediately became more cautious.

An alchemist of this level was not someone they dared to offend lightly.

After all, who could say whether they themselves might need to beg him for pill refinement one day?

Still, they couldn’t help feeling even more excited for this drama.

On one side, two top-tier young geniuses. On the other, the renowned Myriad Poison Sect of the Western Region.

Who would end up backing down in the end?

Meanwhile, on the side, Feng Qing’er’s nearly flawless face was also filled with astonishment.

She hadn’t expected that in a single day, she would encounter not one but two geniuses who were even stronger than herself.

After all, she was currently only a Nine-Star Dou Huang.

And these two, who were about her age, turned out to be a seventh-tier alchemist and a Six-Star Dou Zong.

Either one of them was already far beyond her.

However, she quickly snapped out of her daze.

Her violet-brown eyes swept over the old woman, and her delicate face showed a trace of displeasure.

Looking at the two poised to clash before her, she spoke in a calm, even voice: ”I don’t care if you’re from the Myriad Poison Sect. At my table, its first come, first served.”

Her gaze shifted to Lin Feng’s handsome face as she continued without change in expression:

”Name your price.”
