Chapter 50: Speaking is Prohibited on the Commercial Street

Translator: 549690339

The Dao Sect’s Immortal Artifact Appreciation Fair is a well-known event across Kyushu as it takes place only once a century. All cultivators can participate. For those who possess Immortal Artifacts, it’s an invaluable opportunity to mingle and, as the name belies, use their Immortal Artifacts to duel.

Other cultivators can witness these duels, trade treasures, and showcase their own treasures. The various trading houses are keenly anticipating the event and have already set up stalls here. Temporarily, they had set up a sub-branch of the Dao Sect to sell and auction treasures, all prepared for a grand event.

With the auspice of the Dao Sect, no man dared to leverage their cultivation to strong-arm prices, nor did anyone dare commit murder to snatch goods after the auction.

More than eighty years have passed since the last Immortal Artifact Appreciation Fair. This time, however, the fair was convened earlier due to the self-refined Yin Yang Heaven Seal.

“Are you going to the shopping street?” Jiang Li asked after leaving the Sealing

Self Cave.

“Huh?” Pure Heart Saintess was taken aback. She wanted to visit the shopping street, not necessarily to buy anything, but she definitely wanted to stroll around.

Having encountered Jiang Li’s character, she considered that if she revealed her intentions, he might just say ‘you stroll, I gotta go’.

So, contrary to her heart’s desires, she said, “No, there’s nothing worthwhile in the shopping street. I won’t go.”

“Oh, in that case, you go on, I’ll have a walk around.” On finishing, Jiang Li walked away, leaving behind the confused Pure Heart Saintess standing alone in the wind.

Annoyed, Pure Heart Saintess stamped her foot. Gritting her teeth, she decided to follow after him.

Just as Jiang Li had decided before, he had come to the convention to take a vacation. As such, he had no particular agenda, merely a desire to roam around and visit friends.

“Eh, didn’t you think the shopping street was pointless?” Jiang Li, walking alone, was surprised when Pure Heart Saintess caught up so quickly.

“Ah, such a beautiful flower.” Unable to answer Jiang Li’s question, Pure Heart Saintess turned her head, pretending to be attracted by the flowers and plants for sale.

The flower she noticed was, indeed, beautiful. Its petals and stigma were snow-white; a thin layer of frost was even cuddling the petals, emitting a colourful glow under the sunlight.

“Miss, you have good eyes. I had to squat for a month in the extreme cold just to find this Ice Crystal flower. It’s incredibly beneficial for those with an Ice Spiritual Root, it can also enhance the feeling of intense frost!” The vendor enthusiastically recommended the Ice Crystal flower. Ice Spiritual Root is a variant of Natural Spirit Root, a fewer number of cultivators possess it. He brought the Ice Crystal flower to the Immortal Artifact Appreciation Fair, hoping for a lucky sale.

He thought Pure Heart Saintess was a cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root.

Pure Heart Saintess asked for the price, bargained none and bought it directly.

She possessed a Wood Spiritual Root, so the Ice Crystal Flower was of no use to her. It wasn’t a problem though, as long as it looked good.

Pure Heart Saintess, rich and enchanting, bought anything that caught her eye, disregarding authenticity or usefulness. She had one standard: it had to look good.

Charming and lavish Pure Heart Saintess quickly captured people’s attention.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, wearing a mask that resembled him, went unnoticed. It was a mask of the Human Emperor, popular amongst the children and sold for a low-grade Spirit Stone each.

“Such a beautiful woman. Bring her to me; I want her to be the consort of my eighth imperial son!” Commanded the youngest son of Emperor Wei to his subordinate.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before advising, “Before leaving, the

Empress advised you not to stir trouble at the Dao Sect.”

Currently, Emperor Wei was engrossed in his sorrow of never being able to meet Fairy Red Dust again, had no interest in politics or participating in the fair, thus he sent his youngest son to represent him at the Dao Sect Fair.

With one fierce glare from the youngest Imperial son, the subordinate dare not speak any further. Everyone knew about his arrogance due to Emperor Wei’s favour, his tyranny and merciless way of handling people. Were there a choice, none of them would prefer to serve the young royal son.

“We received a complaint about a disturbance caused by you. Come with us.” Two emotionless Dao Sect Disciples approached the young royal son. Seeing his imminence not moving, they were ready to take actions.

“How dare you! I am the royal son of the Great Wei!”

The young royal son of Emperor Wei felt threatened. The six major sects and the nine major emperor dynasties are equivalent in terms of status. He, the royal son, is equivalent to a Dao Sect Core Disciple. How dare the Dao Sect treated him like this!

The two Core Disciples of the Dao Sect sneered. No matter who you are, even your father, causing disturbance near the Human Emperor isn’t tolerable.

Symbolically the subordinate resisted, then dumbstruck, watched as the royal son was taken away by the Dao Sect.

I am at the Divinity Transformation Stage, it’s normal that I could not defeat a Dao Sect Nascent Soul Stage, right?

“What have I done, that you are taking me away!” Seeing his subordinate not defending him, the Dao Sect disregarding him, the youngest royal son of Emperor was frantic. I haven’t done any wrong yet!

“Talking is prohibited in the shopping street!”

The youngest son of Emperor Wei looked disbelievingly at the bustling shopping street. This reason is too absurd!

If you had said that I stepped into the shopping street with my left foot, I might have accepted it. No, I wouldn’t accept even that!

Dao Sect’s Core Disciples didn’t care about his thoughts and dragged him away.

From Jiang Li’s perspective, the shopping street is full of opportunities to pick up unrecognised treasures. The grass was engraved with unparalleled swordsmanship; the dew dish was actually the key to a secret area; the monster beast’s leg bone contained a drop of Body Integration Realm monster beast’s true blood, and so on.

If Jiang Li wanted to, he could find 99% of the good things in the shopping street.

However, these things were useless to him, better if these objects are left for the younger generation.

Jiang Li saw a flyer for an auction and decided to take a look inside.

“Top-grade Spirit Treasure, Demon-Slaying Flying Sword, its power increases by 30% when used against the demon clan, starting bid at 500 low-grade Spirit Stones!” “512!” “1,024!” “2,048!”

“4,096!”

Jiang Li started, and the rest followed, bidding in an exponential increase which caused the auctioneer’s face to twitch.

In his 30 years of career, he never saw such style of bidding. Couldn’t they round it up?

What’s more interesting was that, with most of the interest for the Flying Sword coming from the demons, they pushed the price higher and it was eventually sold to one of them.

“Why did this happen?” Pure Heart Saintess didn’t understand, she speculated that people from around White Marsh Emperor dynasty would be interested in the flying sword, since they face the threat of demonic beasts almost all the time.

“Imagine overpowering your opponent with such ease? That’s how the demons think” Jiang Li helplessly explained, “Beating their own kind, survival of the fittest, the strongest being revered, bloodline superiority… in sum, they lack unity and ambition.”

Subsequent items on stage include the top-grade Lifespan Extension Pill, Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill, Yu Heng Bronze Mirror, Buddha Beads, and so on, which were thankfully received by the cultivators present.

However, for Jiang Li and Pure Heart Saintess, these were all normal items. Even if given for free, they would not know what to do with them.

The last mysterious grand finale item was a Dao artifact, a hammer imbued with the path of dreams. It could render someone unconscious and trap them in a dream.

Jiang Li pondered for a long time, but still could not figure out exactly what this hammer was good for..
