375: Space Trade Fair

“Your talent and out-of-the-box ideas, in my opinion, are unprecedented. But to understand the Origin of heaven and earth, it requires a lot of time for comprehension. This is something you can never avoid, so the Bodhi Ancient Tree, in a sense, might be able to help a great deal. Try your best to acquire it; trust me, you won’t be wrong.”

Xiao Xuan pointed out the problem with Lin Xiu’s plan.

Some things absolutely require time to accumulate; there’s no shortcut.

Lin Xiu paused, then nodded gently and earnestly, “Alright, I’ve noted it.”

In the following days, Lin Xiu began setting up a Grand Formation.

The Formation, named the Nine-Eyed Thunder Gathering Formation, was composed of eight small Formations and one main Formation.

It would usually gather lightning power, and when facing an attack, it would erupt, blocking and counterattacking simultaneously.

Lin Xiu chose this Formation largely because of this feature.

As his Alchemy grade became higher and higher, he had no shortage of lightning power.

Thus, he could quickly help the Formation complete its charging.

In a flash, it was almost time for the Space Trade Fair. Lin Xiu bid farewell to Little Fairy Doctor and the others, then left Canaan Academy with Medusa.

Knowing that the Wild Ancient Domain was in the Beast Region, Lin Xiu planned to resolve the matter of activating Medusa’s Bloodline this time as well.

“I thought you had forgotten about this King.”

Medusa crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Lin Xiu with a condescending gaze, instantly returning to her former Aura.

Dressed in a purple dress, she exuded a Queen’s Aura, easily arousing men’s desire for conquest.

“We haven’t seen each other in a while, and you’re getting arrogant again. You dare to call yourself ‘this King’ in front of me? Do you know I’m already a Dou Saint?”

Lin Xiu looked at her.

Medusa’s mouth twitched, and she turned her head to the side, “You’d best have a proper attitude, or else I can find someone to teach you a lesson. You have leverage over me now!”

She extended her fair hand towards Lin Xiu, her five slender jade fingers slowly clenching, shaking them in a display of defiance.

Lin Xiu was taken aback, carefully observing Medusa’s expression; it seemed she wasn’t joking.

“Don’t ask; I won’t tell you.”

Medusa saw Lin Xiu’s lips move and immediately raised her hand to block... The Space Trade Fair was different from those large-scale auctions.

Even in the Central Plains, this term was rarely heard among ordinary people.

Those who could participate were often only the top powers and experts.

Because the Space Trade Fair had almost no fixed venue, each time it opened, they would actively notify and send out invitations.

The Space Trade Fair was not controlled by a single person but jointly by three Sects.

They were the Earth Travel Sect, the Sky Profound Gate, and the Treasure Appraisal Mountain... On the boundless land, golden sand accumulated. A strong wind blew, stirring up large areas of sand.

“Teacher, is this the venue for the Space Trade Fair?”

Xiao Yan turned his head, looking at Yao Chen with some astonishment.

Such a top-tier event would actually be held in this barren place?

Yao Chen chuckled and nodded, “It looks rather poor, but you should have noticed that there are quite a few powerful Auras nearby.”

Xiao Yan sensed it and nodded.

The two flew to the center of the desert, and above a depression, they saw a black hole.

“It’s a self-contained space?”

Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise. Creating a separate space was truly a grand feat.

Subsequently, he and Yao Chen entered the space.

The light in front of them changed dimly. When their vision returned, a small town appeared before them.

It was bustling with people coming and going, very lively.

“Eh, Senior Brother…”

Xiao Yan’s gaze shifted, and he suddenly stopped on a man and a woman.

Perhaps sensing the intense gaze, Lin Xiu happened to turn his head. When he saw Xiao Yan, he smiled and nodded slightly.

“It really is Senior Brother.”

Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward. He heard that Senior Brother had advanced to Dou Saint, and he could just ask him for any tips on breaking through the Nine-Revolving Dou Venerate stage.

Just as he was about to take a step, Yao Chen grabbed Xiao Yan’s arm.

“Teacher?”

Xiao Yan looked over with a questioning gaze, realizing that his teacher’s gaze was directed at a distance, where there were three black-robed figures.

Their figures were hidden beneath their hoods, revealing only the lower half of their faces. Their upturned lips revealed a malicious smile.

“Don’t meet Lin Xiu yet. I’ve encountered three old friends. Perhaps after the trade fair, we can give them a small shock and surprise.”

Yao Chen retracted his gaze, looked at Xiao Yan, and spoke with a hint of coldness in his voice.

Xiao Yan was puzzled.

“If my perception isn’t wrong, those three are the infamous Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts. I’ve had issues with them before.”

Yao Chen didn’t explain much, pulling Xiao Yan to wander among the shops.

Those three also quietly disappeared into the crowd.

The Space Trade Fair had a very strict management mechanism; almost no one would choose to cause trouble inside.

In the crowd.

Lin Xiu felt Medusa suddenly move closer to him, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, “What’s wrong?”

“An annoying gaze has been staring at me.”

Medusa frowned slightly.

Lin Xiu teased, “You are the dream of how many men in the Gama Empire. Isn’t it normal for people to look?”

“I didn’t mean that. Someone tried to use Soul Power.”

Having been a Queen for many years, Medusa could naturally accept being gazed at, but using Soul Power was completely different.

“Can you sense the direction?”

Lin Xiu’s expression immediately became serious upon hearing this. What one should not look at, one should not. Using Soul Power was too much.

“It’s gone.”

Medusa sensed carefully and shook her head.

Lin Xiu glanced around. People all around were looking his way.

However, most were just normal gazes.

“Let’s go into the Ancient Treasure Pavilion first. That place requires an invitation from the three major Sects to enter.”

Lin Xiu suggested.

If it weren’t for the remnant map of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame that would be auctioned later, he would have directly unleashed his Emperor Realm Soul and sought out such a person.

Medusa nodded in agreement.

They walked through the street, heading deeper into the small town, and an ancient hall appeared in front of them.

Taking out the invitation, Lin Xiu led Medusa inside.

Someone guided the two to a seating area.

Afterward, people came in one after another.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen sat next to the two.

“Senior Brother.”

After sitting down, Xiao Yan spoke proactively.

Lin Xiu hummed, “You didn’t encounter any trouble after leaving the Ancient World, did you?”

“Everything went smoothly.”

Xiao Yan replied. Then he thought of something, “Senior Brother, did Hun Ya and the others look for you?”

“Yes, and they even invited a Dou Saint. Fortunately, my strength broke through in the Sky Tomb.”

Lin Xiu smiled slightly.

Hearing these understated words, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but envision a fierce battle in his mind.

He snapped back to reality, feeling a bit nervous and expectant, “Senior Brother, did you leave anyone alive?”

“Why?”

Lin Xiu was startled.

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, “My father has been captured by the Hall of Souls for so long, and there’s been no news at all. I haven’t had a chance to inquire about his whereabouts.”

“It’s alright, there will be a chance soon. You’ve heard about the Bodhi Ancient Tree, right?”

Lin Xiu looked at him.

Xiao Yan nodded.

Lin Xiu smiled, “At that time, people from the Soul Clan will definitely participate.”

During their conversation, the venue became increasingly crowded, with many people wearing black robes to conceal their faces.

Everyone knew that the upcoming auction items were all incredibly valuable.

Safety was guaranteed within the Space Trade Fair, but who could guarantee it outside?

Before long, an Old Man Baoshan, as he introduced himself, took the stage. After a speech, the auction began.

The first item up for bid was the Demonic Phoenix Wings.

The mere fact that they dared to openly auction something from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was enough to show the backing power of the forces organizing the Space Trade Fair.

Lin Xiu wasn’t interested in most things and listened silently.

It wasn’t until Old Man Baoshan mentioned the poison scripture, “Heavenly Nether Poison Tome,” that Lin Xiu raised his eyes.
