Volume 1: The Strongest in the Mine Cave Chapter 25: A Sudden Invitation from a Powerful Figure

  Before entering the barbaric outer domain, Chu Yi first walked around the major trading markets in Hidden Ruins City. The markets here were quite unique due to the massive foot traffic. The scale of the trading markets was enormous, with numerous shops, which could be said to be the largest and most numerous that Chu Yi had ever seen.

  It was just right for the night market, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going. This feeling made Chu Yi feel as if he had arrived at a lively and prosperous pedestrian street.

  At this time when the flow of people is at its peak, all the shops on both sides of the street are desperately vying for business.

  "This store specializes in selling Buddhist treasures, from Buddhist utensils to spiritual instruments, all can be purchased at a fair price, no deception of old and young..."

  "Take a look! This small shop is the exclusive direct purchase store of Dan Ding Sect, with all kinds of spiritual materials available. Everything you need for alchemy is here."

  "Passing by, don't miss out. Exclusive sale of top-grade flying swords, only 9,000 spirit stones each. Last six pieces available, sold out once they're gone."

  "Do you want to ascend to heaven in one step? Do you want to achieve immortality through cultivation? Then how can you not have a top-notch cultivation technique suitable for yourself? Our store currently has several earth-level cultivation techniques for sale, and the opportunity to obtain a hundred-year-old golden elixir is at hand. This chance only comes once, and if you miss it, there won't be another in this lifetime..."

  All the way here, Chu Yi was also excited by the bustling and unique business atmosphere of this place. Thinking that he still had more than 60,000 spirit stones on him, he could consider buying some useful things.

  Just as he was lost in thought, a familiar figure caught his eye. A snowy white robe, and Xie Qianqian, who had changed into her original outfit, suddenly appeared and blocked Chu Yi's path.

  "I know her, but she doesn't know me. What a coincidence." Chu Yi thought to himself as he turned around and walked away, not interested in getting entangled with this arrogant and proud woman.

  "You, don't go, I have something to discuss with you..."

  Have to admit, Xie Huanhuan changed into a set of women's clothes, absolutely the kind that can be classified as an extreme beauty, and her voice, although with a hint of coquettishness, has a sweetness that is irresistible, making people involuntarily feel their bones melting.

  Chu Yitian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he pretended to be confused, saying: "Miss, are you calling me?"

  "Of course, I can see you're wearing a Yuan Yang jade pendant around your waist, so you must be an inner disciple of the sect. Although your cultivation and strength are somewhat lacking, this young lady is in urgent need of someone to use, so I'll reluctantly take you into my team."

  Xie Xuanxuan said with a look of "it's only natural", and at the same time took out a token shaped like a soaring dragon, engraved with a pattern of nine stars surrounding the sun, and flashed it in front of Chu Yu.

  "Tai Xuan Yang Que..."

  Chu Yi, who had already studied the "Chronicle of the Supreme Mysterious Yang Sect", recognized the origin of this object and felt a mix of shock and helplessness.

  The Grand Supreme Yang Sceptre holds the highest authority within the Supreme Yang Sect, and whoever wields it can command all disciples directly under them to act at their discretion, without any disobedience.

  It was just an instant, and Chu Yi had already guessed that this genuine and valuable Da Xuan Yang Que was absolutely not Qian Qian's own, nine out of ten it must have been obtained from his father Tian Xuan Zi.

  It's clear that something like the Da Xuan Yang Que can't be obtained by someone like Xie Yunqing himself. The entire sect, from top to bottom, is lucky to have been taught by Master and only a handful of people are qualified to receive such teachings, so how could it possibly be something Xie Yunqing got on his own?

  However, even if he knew this, after Xie Yun took out the Great Profound Sun Pagoda, Chu Yi also had to dispel his idea of leaving quickly.

  "What instructions does Miss Huan have?" Under the constraint of Da Xuan Yang Que, Chu Yi had to respond stiffly.

  "You just said you didn't know me, but now it seems like you do. That's quite a quick change." Xie Pianpian tilted her head to the side, gazing at Chu Yi with great interest.

  In response to this spoiled young lady, Chu Yi's experience was quite sufficient, and he didn't think much of it: "Originally, I wouldn't have recognized her, but seeing the Da Xuan Yang Que again, and seeing Miss Pianpian's dust-free and ethereal appearance, I thought of Tian Xuanzi's eldest daughter. After all, within the sect, there are very few women with an aura like Miss Pianpian's."

  Xie Pianpian heard this, her small mouth pouted and she hummed: "Look at you, you're quite sensible. Tomorrow morning, wait for me at the south gate of Yindu City. I'll take you to the outer domain of the Savage Lands to broaden your horizons. If I don't see you then, you should know what the consequences will be..."

  As they spoke, Xie Huanhuan swung the Great Xuanyang Que in his hand and turned to leave, surrounded by several cultivators whose cultivation bases were obviously much higher than Chu Yi's.

  Indeed, as Chu Yi had expected, Xie Pianpian had followed Tianxuanzi's great Daoyang Que and privately ran to Yindu City. This girl was born with a mischievous personality and was deeply loved by Tianxuanzi. With Tianxuanzi's status in the Wushang Daoyang Sect, even if the sect leader saw her, they would have to give her some face. As a result, Xie Pianpian had developed an arrogant and reckless personality under such a huge protective umbrella.

  This time, she came to Hidden Mist City, originally just wanting to take a look around, but unexpectedly heard about the various wonders of the Barbaric Outer Realm, and with great interest, she decided to explore it once and for all.

  However, Xie Pianpian was clear-headed about his own cultivation strength. Relying on the Daxuanyang Que in hand and being the daughter of Tianxuanzi, he organized a team of explorers consisting entirely of Wushang Xuan Yang Zongmen within half a day.

  Originally, with Chu Yi's insignificant cultivation, Xie Xianxian shouldn't have picked him out, but it was because of that one glance they exchanged at the auction in Wanbao Pavilion back then, which left an impression on him, and on a whim, he "forced" Chu Yi to follow along as well.

  As soon as Xie Qianqian's figure disappeared from view, Chu Yi's bitter smile didn't diminish. Running into such a naughty little girl who seemed like a big sister was really unfortunate. According to Chu Yi's nature, it would be better to avoid her as far as possible. But the latter took out the Great Profound Sun Gate, and if she didn't agree, it would be a completely different matter.

  Even if the Great Xuan Yang was indeed stolen by Xie Xian, it's still impossible not to listen. Chu Yi acknowledged that within the Supreme Xuan Yang Sect, his own energy was too small, and without strong power, he could only force himself slightly.

  "The wilderness outside is so vast, wait until you go in and find an excuse to disperse with them, this can't be blamed on me." Chu Yi adjusted his mood again, strolled through his own streets, and rolled away the troubles.

  "Fa Bao exclusive store, the most cost-effective spiritual artifact in history, only 500,000 spirit stones per piece, available for use during the foundation period, don't miss this opportunity, once lost it will never come again."

  A slightly loud and boisterous peddling voice entered Chu Yi's ears, after strolling for so long, he was already accustomed to the extremely modern peddling methods in Yin Du City, but what made Chu Yi stop in his tracks were the two words "Ling Qi".

  The magic treasure is an indispensable thing for the cultivator, and its importance often surpasses that of spiritual elixirs and spiritual stones. Magic treasures are also divided into four categories: magical instruments, spiritual instruments, precious instruments, and immortal instruments, with twelve grades in total.

  The worst is a natural treasure, but even if it's a top-grade treasure, its value is over 100,000 spirit stones.

  As for higher-level spiritual artifacts, even low-grade ones, without 30 to 50 million spirit stones, it's not easy to get your hands on them.

  "Fifty thousand spirit stones can buy a spiritual artifact, whether it's real or fake, taking a look won't hurt." With a hint of curiosity, Chu Yi stepped into the shop in front of him.

  The shopkeeper warmly welcomed Chu Yi in, and after a glance, the store was not small, but there were very few customers.

  "Just now I heard you say, there is a spiritual tool for sale?"

  Chu Yi asked and the shopkeeper smiled: "Indeed, genuine mid-grade spiritual equipment, only 500,000 spirit stones."

  "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Chu Yi had always believed this and didn't want to waste any more time, so he said straightforwardly: 'Then trouble yourself to bring it over for me to take a look?'"
