This was a market on the Chaos Continent.
It was shrouded by a milky-white restricting magic. Anyone entering the market had to hand over medicinal pills. With a cold glance, Fang Han discovered that this milky-white egg-shaped canopy covering an area of several thousand miles in radius was actually the radiance of a low-grade Dao tool. Unless one was a Giant of the Ages, no one could forcibly break it open.
Fang Han could naturally break it open with a raise of his hand, but there was no need for that.
As he flew over, two cultivators immediately came forward to meet him.
These two cultivators wore black clothes with a golden dragon embroidered on their chests. They were figures who had just stepped into the Divine Ability Secret Realm, and their faces still displayed the kind of superior aura of having reached the heavens in a single bound.
"Senior, please hold your steps. To enter the market of our Flying Heaven Sect, you must pay one Pure Yang Pill as an entry and exit fee. No one can be an exception." A cultivator looked at Fang Han, his tone not daring to be presumptuous; he could tell that Fang Han's strength was far above his.
"Open the gate!" Fang Han said coldly, waving his hand, and a Pure Yang Pill fell into this cultivator's hand.
The cultivator inspected it and carefully put it into a magic treasure pouch. Then, using his hand, he tore open a slit on the milky-white canopy. "Senior, please enter."
Fang Han nodded, flashed inside, and landed in the city.
He had already obtained information from Luoyin and Mojin. Within the Chaos Continent, there were countless trading markets, and the unified medicinal pills used were Pure Yang Pills. He also had an idea of the largest markets among them; the Flying Heaven Sect's market was considered a very large one. One could buy many rare spiritual medicines and various treasures there.
Even Giants of the Ages who obtained good materials would come here to exchange them for Pure Yang Pills.
"Formed ginseng of ten thousand years! It has already cultivated into a spirit. Used to brew medicine, it can increase lifespan by ten years!"
"A piece of Void Crystal, containing the power of space inside, an excellent item for refining storage items like magic treasure pouches and Cosmos Bags. Only ten Pure Yang Pills."
"Come take a look, come take a look, Seven-Leaf Lingzhi Grass, a good material for concocting Youth Retaining Pills. One Pure Yang Pill per stalk, there are four hundred stalks. Hurry up and buy."
…
As soon as Fang Han landed in the city, a noisy aura rushed at his face, as if he had entered a chaotic vegetable market. Cultivators were everywhere, some buying and selling magical treasures, some buying and selling materials, some buying and selling medicinal ingredients, and some haggling over prices. It was incomparably messy, transmitting a vulgar, mundane aura.
"How come this place for trading magical treasures has no rules at all?" Fang Han frowned, feeling it was vastly different from the Nine Tripods Pavilion, Six Realms Alliance, and Heavenly Dao Pavilion in the Xuanhuang Great World.
The magical treasure and medicinal pill trading venues of those three places were all magnificent, like sacred lands of the immortal families. How could they be filled with vulgarity like a vegetable market here.
At this time, several cultivators of the Physical Body Realm saw him land from the sky and immediately took out some medicinal ingredients, gathering around to introduce them to him.
"Hmph!" Annoyed, Fang Han released a tiny bit of the aura of an expert at the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, instantly jolting these cultivators away, making them crawl all over the ground.
Immediately, a small commotion occurred in this market.
In an instant, several black-clad cultivators appeared in the sky and flew down to take a look at Fang Han. One of them, a cultivator at the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Human Realm, sized up Fang Han for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out Fang Han's cultivation, and finally došao do a conclusion: this person was at least a figure at the Golden Core level or above.
"Senior, is there anything you need help with? I am a true legacy disciple of the Flying Heaven Sect, Li Xiao." This cultivator at the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Heaven and Human Realm, spoke with a polite tone.
"I want to buy some medicinal ingredients to refine medicinal pills, used to break through the bottleneck of the Longevity Secret Realm. Do you know a place that buys and sells good medicinal ingredients? This is my first time coming to this Flying Heaven Sect market, why is it so messy?" Fang Han said.
"So Senior is a powerful expert at the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate. No wonder you have such a powerful aura. Senior wants to buy some medicinal pills, there is nothing good to buy out here; it's just some low-level cultivators doing trades. It's not worth Senior's look. Senior, please come with me."
Li Xiao spoke while leading the way for Fang Han.
With cultivation at the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, one could potentially cultivate into the Longevity Secret Realm and become a Giant of the Ages at any time. This was equivalent to a crown prince, able to gain respect throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds. Even in the Wuji Star Palace, one could receive respect. After all, the true legacy disciples of the Wuji Star Palace were only at the seventh level of the Divine Ability Realm, minor giants of the Golden Core. There was a difference of three levels compared to the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate.
"Senior, our Flying Heaven Sect has united with the thirteen Daosects of the eastern part of this Chaos Continent and signed a joint contract. You can buy all rare medicinal ingredients here. Ahead is our Flying Heaven Sect's Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion."
Fang Han looked over, and sure enough, a majestic thirteen-story high pavilion appeared ahead. Cloud and mist curled around the high pavilion, emitting a compelling immortal aura and a bright treasure light.
"Not bad, not bad. There's somewhat of an immortal dao aura here." Fang Han casually tossed it, and five Pure Yang Pills fell into Li Xiao's hand, considered as a tip.
"Thank you, Senior." Li Xiao hurriedly bowed.
Five Pure Yang Pills were equivalent to fifty thousand medicinal pills in the Xuanhuang Great World, which was not a small sum. Getting them just by saying a few words and leading the way was indeed an easy task.
While speaking, Fang Han had already landed below this "Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion".
At the door of the treasure pavilion sat two cultivators cross-legged. Fang Han took a slight look and was a little surprised; these two cultivators were actually both powerful experts at the seventh level of the Divine Ability Realm, Golden Core. However, their Golden Cores only contained five divine abilities, the most basic five elemental divine abilities. They were the weakest Golden Core cultivators.
"Li Xiao, why did you bring someone over? Don't you know that the Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion only allows powerful experts at the seventh level of the Divine Ability Realm, Golden Core realm, to enter and trade?"
The two cultivators opened their eyes and shouted a question.
"Two senior brothers! This senior is a tyrannical figure at the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate. Because he wants to break through to the realm of a Giant of the Ages and lacks a few medicinal ingredients to refine medicinal pills, I brought him to the Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion to buy them." Li Xiao said hurriedly.
"So it's a powerful expert at the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate! Please excuse our lack of manners, we hope Senior will not take offense!" The two Golden Core cultivators quickly said: "Senior, please enter."
Fang Han walked in with dragon-like strides, but in his heart, he tutted in wonder. In this Chaos Continent, the realm of power overshadowed everything. With enough power, one could gain people's respect. The strict hierarchy was much more obvious than in the Xuanhuang Great World; after all, in the Xuanhuang Great World, one still had to look at a person's sect and background.
Entering the Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion, he immediately felt the world widen, revealing a deep space. Fang Han was not surprised; he had seen through it long ago. When this Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion was built, an unknown amount of Void Crystals was integrated into it, thus it contained the power of space inside.
Moreover, this Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion itself was a magical treasure, a low-grade Dao tool! Just like the Eight Divisions Pagoda, though far less powerful than the Eight Divisions Pagoda.
If Fang Han fully deployed the Eight Divisions Pagoda, it could also directly transform into a great mountain with layers upon layers of space inside, creating an effect even more marvelous than the Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion.
Inside the "Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion", the layered spaces were filled with a dazzling array of magical treasures, medicinal pills, materials, and medicinal ingredients. There were also many cultivators with aloof temperaments walking back and forth inside. This had somewhat of the atmosphere of an immortal family, vastly different from the vegetable market-like environment outside. Fang Han nodded secretly.
"I want to buy Forget-Sorrow Grass, Yin-Yang Flower, Hehuan Lotus, Nine Immortals Vine… these medicinal ingredients. Do you have them?" Fang Han tossed out a prescription list, throwing it to these two Golden Core cultivators, while simultaneously giving each of the two Golden Core cultivators one hundred Pure Yang Pills.
"Thank you, Senior!" The two Golden Core experts accepted the medicinal pills, glanced at the prescription, and their expressions immediately changed: "The medicinal ingredients Senior wants, every single one is a rare spiritual medicine in heaven and earth, it is truly too hard to come by. However, we do have a few of the ingredients, but the price is not cheap. Some of these ingredients need to be auctioned in the depths of our Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion."
"Is that so? The price is not an issue for me. Bring all the medicinal ingredients you can find. Make an estimate, how many Pure Yang Pills will it be? As for the other medicinal ingredients, you guys take me to the auction house of the Flying Heaven Treasure Pavilion." Fang Han did not mind it at all. He knew the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill were extremely precious and rare, and had to be bought through auction. He had also experienced a few treasure selling conferences and was very familiar with this.
"Alright! We will go estimate right away."
The two Golden Core experts of the Flying Heaven Sect hurriedly nodded and were about to rush back out. Right at this moment, a voice transmitted over, "These medicinal ingredients of yours, are you going to refine the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill? What a pity, the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill requires a Soul Devouring Sacred Beast as the main soul, and this kind of medicinal pill can only be refined by a Giant of the Ages."
"There's actually someone who knows the refining method of the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill!" Fang Han was startled in his heart. One must know that Cang Yingzi and Luoshui Bei didn't know the specific refining method; only that whatever Young Master Chu Nan knew it.
He turned his head and saw a woman.
This woman was very delicate and pretty. Using his demonic eyes to observe, Fang Han noticed a ball of bright light behind this woman's head, shining like a mirror reflecting radiance, extremely intense. He actually couldn't see through this person's cultivation, but this woman's cultivation was definitely not that of a Giant of the Ages.
Because when a Giant of the Ages drew origin qi from the Immortal Realm, he would sense it.
"However, if fellow daoist is interested, I can provide these medicinal ingredients to you, saving you the need to go to the auction. What do you think? These medicinal ingredients are very hard to get even at an auction."
This woman slowly walked over, and Fang Han was able to clearly see the true face of this woman.
Her face was delicate, like a spiritual sparrow, extremely agile, yet carrying a majestic aura. This kind of temperament was somewhat similar… similar to the Headmaster of the Yuhua Sect, Feng Baiyu.
For some unknown reason, Fang Han had a feeling that this woman's facial features were extremely similar to Feng Baiyu's!
He was stunned for a moment, then recovered his thoughts: "Miss, do you really have these medicinal ingredients? How many Pure Yang Pills do you want? I will buy them all. May I ask for Miss's esteemed name?"
"My name is Feng Yaoguang." This woman narrowed her eyes slightly, sizing Fang Han up and down, a trace of a smile appearing on her face: "If fellow daoist really wants these medicinal ingredients, I can give them to fellow daoist, but I'd like to ask fellow daoist to do a favor for me."
