That's why they are so wary, even though those people are long gone, they still dare not offend them in the slightest.
The cramped room was swaying slightly, seemingly unable to withstand the immense pressure from so many deities.
Suddenly, a peaceful aura surged up, reaching its peak power in an instant.
The power of this force far exceeded the expectations of Yu and the others. Before they could react, the momentum formed by the six new generation of supreme gods was shattered and routed by this aura.
Yu Zhu's aura had lost its usual gentleness and was now filled with violent killing intent, like a world-destroying demon, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
Although he had been prepared, it was only under the influence of this overwhelming power that Yu realized the true gap between himself and his opponent.
"Great God, I don't care what you're planning, but please don't do anything to put us all in danger. Otherwise, we'll be the first to abandon you." Yu Zhu's cold voice, carrying a hint of chilling murderous intent, filled the ordinary little house.
"yes……"
Having recognized the balance of power between them, the new generation of supreme gods made the right choice.
"Step down, I will distribute the Origin Crystals."
Several auras gradually faded and disappeared from the room.
"Yu Zhu, aren't you being too fierce? Don't scare the child," Zhu Fang said with a laugh. Clearly, the overwhelming power had no effect on him.
"Fierce?" Yu Zhu sneered disdainfully, "You all remember the divine treasure that Mingzhu presented, right? If I'm not mistaken, that should be the old tortoise's treasure, hehe... It even has a life aura. Add to that these primordial crystals, is there anything to doubt about Xiao Wenbing's origins?"
The few remaining breaths in the room fell silent once more, and no one questioned his words anymore.
"I don't want to cause trouble, nor do I want to fall because of it, that's all."
"agree……"
"agree……"
Volume 22, Chapter 33: Sword Technique
------------------------
Zhu strode up to Xiao Wenbing and the others, excitedly saying, "Chengyou, please feel free to choose whatever you want."
Xiao Wenbing smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."
Mingzhu waved her hands repeatedly and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, to be honest, it should be us who thank you. If we are still being polite, then we are slapping my old face."
Xiao Wenbing smiled and thought to himself that this person was quite interesting.
Turning around, Xiao Wenbing asked, "Yaqi, Baiyi, what have you set your sights on? Just tell me. Senior Mingzhu has already guaranteed that you'll get it."
Mingzhu and Kairis exchanged a secret glance, both with a knowing smile on their lips.
They had all witnessed Xiao Wenbing's interactions with Zhang and Feng, and these old foxes were naturally able to guess their relationship, so they were not surprised by Xiao Wenbing's words.
“Okay.” Zhang Yaqi readily agreed and gently touched the large rock with her delicate hand.
A series of ripples appeared on the stone surface, and when the scene froze, a line of text appeared before everyone's eyes.
"The Myriad Swords Technique?" Xiao Wenbing frowned. What was this?
If he wasn't mistaken, this was clearly a secret manual of immortal arts; judging from the name, it was a method for manipulating flying swords.
Looking back, Zhang Yaqi was still as well-behaved and beautiful as ever. My gaze fell on her snow-white wrist, where the Qiankun Ring, faintly emitting a thin, iridescent light, lay quietly.
Zhang Yaqi wants to learn swordsmanship? Has the sun risen in the west? Xiao Wenbing looked up at the sky, but wait, why isn't there a sun?
He slapped his forehead and realized that this was a world created by gods. Although the sky always had a certain amount of light, there was no dazzling red sun.
"Yaqi, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xiao Wenbing asked cautiously.
"No," Zhang Yaqi said softly, "Is this the Myriad Swords Technique?"
"Of course," Xiao Wenbing said with a sullen expression.
“Since it’s the Myriad Swords Technique, then that makes sense.” Zhang Yaqi said with a smile, but her eyes revealed an indescribable determination.
Knowing he couldn't change the pretty girl's mind, Xiao Wenbing sighed, "Alright, that's it."
Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Zhang, this old Daoist has something to tell you."
"Please speak, senior."
"This Myriad Swords Technique is actually a divine technique."
Xiao Wenbing's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected this seemingly insignificant thing to be a divine technique—a cultivation method used by gods! He gave Zhang Yaqi a thumbs up, thinking, "No wonder she's a successor of the Qiankun Ring; she has excellent judgment."
Mingzhu laughed heartily, her voice carrying a hint of mockery: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, however, this divine technique is utterly useless."
Xiao Wenbing's smile froze instantly. He asked in surprise, "What? Is this divine technique incomplete?"
Come to think of it, if it were truly a powerful divine technique, why would it be displayed here for people to choose from?
“No,” Mingzhu said seriously, “The divine technique is perfect, but since ancient times, no deity has ever been able to successfully cultivate it.”
"Really? Where did it come from?"
“This…” Mingzhu pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly, “I’ve only heard that this thing has been around for a long time, but I don’t know where it came from.”
“Wenbing, I want it,” Zhang Yaqi suddenly said.
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, but immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Senior..."
Mingzhu sighed, seemingly complaining about something, but his movements were swift as he raised his hand and gently patted the stone surface.
A faint white light flashed, indicating that the deal had been completed.
“Fellow Daoist Zhang, consider this Myriad Swords Manual a personal gift from this old Daoist. Please go and choose another item.” Mingzhu stopped and stood up, speaking slowly.
Zhang Yaqi gave a slight bow and said, "I am already very grateful to you for being able to obtain a divine technique. How could I dare to ask for more?"
Xiao Wenbing shared the same sentiment, saying, "Yes, whether or not this can be mastered, it is still a divine technique. I am already uneasy about the expense you have gone to so much trouble for me."
Mingzhu gave the two of them a strange look, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "My two fellow immortals, let me first clarify one thing. This Myriad Swords Technique is not some kind of secret cultivation method. It has been here for so long, so naturally there is no secret to it. Therefore, as for the price, hahaha..."
Xiao Wenbing and the others suddenly realized why a divine manual had been placed here; it turned out to be a...
What I've learned.
However, Zhang Yaqi still happily accepted the jade slip from Mingzhu in the end, without showing the slightest displeasure.
Having settled Zhang Yaqi's matter, Xiao Wenbing turned his gaze to Feng Baiyi.
This icy fairy was even more direct; with a thought, she left only six large, gilded characters on the boulder.
"The spirit of water? The spirit of fire?"
Xiao Wenbing exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that such a treasure would be traded here.
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Yaqi's face. There were so many things inside the big rock that no one could say exactly how many there were.
Just as Xiao Wenbing did not see the divine manual, no one else, except Feng Baiyi, noticed the two spirits of water and fire.
Mingzhu's expression was quite interesting; it was clearly the first time she had ever seen these two treasures.
He muttered to himself, "Water and fire spirits? How is this possible?"
Xiao Wenbing's heart tightened, and he asked, "Senior, is there something wrong?"
Mingzhu shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know what happened either. How could two such treasures be for sale here?" She paused for a moment, then added, "These are priceless treasures. Even if they were for sale, they should have been bought by someone long ago. How could they be ours?"
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "Maybe we're just lucky. Senior, hurry up and bid, or someone else will snatch it away."
Mingzhu shuddered and hurriedly slammed her hand heavily on the large rock.
However, this time it didn't work; there was no reaction on the stone surface, and no light appeared.
Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise, "What? It's already been sold?"
If someone else snatched it away by just a hair's breadth, I'd really regret it so much I'd jump off a building.
Mingzhu was also taken aback. He focused his divine sense into the boulder and after a moment spoke, "So that's how it is."
"How about it?"
Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "The sellers of these two treasures are not asking for divine beans, but for supreme treasures of heaven and earth of equal value."
Xiao Wenbing's expression shifted, and he asked, "What does he want?"
Mingzhu shook her head and said, "It wasn't specified, it just said that it needed a treasure of equal value. If we have the goods, we can come to discuss it in detail."
"A treasure of heaven and earth?" Xiao Wenbing frowned, searching the Heavenly Void Ring with his divine sense. Although there were many things in it, very few could be called treasures of heaven and earth.
Aside from the mysterious jade pendant and the Void Cauldron, which can definitely be called treasures of heaven and earth, perhaps only the Mirror God can barely be ranked among them.
However, he would absolutely not exchange the Mirror God for these two spiritual items.
The Void Cauldron is also useless. He is able to create things out of thin air that far exceed his current strength, all thanks to the Void Cauldron supporting him. If he loses this treasure, he will be like a toothless tiger, with no more amazing abilities to use.
His divine sense lingered on the jade pendant. This treasure was clearly a divine artifact belonging to the first generation of gods. Although its power was greatly reduced due to the sealing of its spirit, it should be able to break the seal if it could obtain the assistance of the water and fire spirits.
The treasures of the first generation of gods, although not as unique as the Void Cauldron, are at least no worse than those of the Mirror God.
I felt quite regretful, never expecting that I would have to give away this magical artifact so soon after acquiring it.
But if we were to exchange it for the two spirits of water and fire, would they agree?
Just as he was deep in thought, the Great Serpent Supreme stepped forward and secretly asked, "Mingzhu, would a Primal Crystal work?"
Xiao Wenbing's heart stirred. The Origin Crystal was nothing to him, but to ordinary gods, it was among the most precious treasures of heaven and earth.
If that thing works too, then he really won't have to worry anymore.
Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Great Serpent, I have never seen this person before. It seems I have no choice but to go and ask him." Then she shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that this person refuses to accept the Divine Bean, otherwise we could have bought it now."
Kairis shook his head and said, "Otherwise, if the Divine Beans could be exchanged for these two treasures of heaven and earth, then I'm afraid it wouldn't be our turn."
Everyone was taken aback at first, then nodded in unison in agreement. Such a treasure was certainly not something that could be exchanged for ordinary goods.
Mingzhu used his divine sense to search the large rock for a moment and found the address of the seller. Just as he was about to go there, a sudden flash of light appeared on his body, and his expression immediately became extremely strange.
