CHAPTER 1353: CHAPTER 1353: TURMOIL IN THE SECRET MARKET

A few hours later.

Xu Nian and Li Tian walked out of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Xu Nian purchased a Five Elements Plate and exchanged a Top-grade Immortal Artifact for two Top-Grade Immortal Talismans.

One Top-grade Intermediate Wind Blade Talisman, one Top-grade Upper-class Golden Light Talisman.

Both Immortal Talismans are attack types.

Xu Nian has also gained two life-saving cards.

If used appropriately, these two talismans can kill even those in the Luoxian Realm.

Of course, it’s impossible to foolishly use them right in front of the opponent, otherwise, there might not even be a chance to attack them.

"Brother Xu, I didn’t expect you were so willing to spend, that Immortal Saber was clearly a fine piece among the Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, I would have bought it from you if I had known earlier." Li Tian joked.

"Brother Li is joking. Brother Li’s treasures are probably no less than mine. I’m exchanging talismans to have more means to protect myself, otherwise keeping a Top-grade Immortal Artifact is useless," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

Li Tian nodded.

For immortals, Immortal Artifacts only have a certain amplification effect.

Unless some special types of Immortal Artifacts can have heaven-defying impacts.

Otherwise, personal strength is still necessary.

"I wonder if Brother Xu ever thought about visiting the secret market? There are many treasures there, though some have unclear origins." Li Tian smiled.

"Secret market?" Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

He became curious about the secret market.

"Yes, the so-called secret market is a secret trading market, where everyone changes their appearance and alters their aura, no one recognizes anyone, and the traded treasures naturally have some questionable origins but are all very practical," Li Tian explained with a smile.

"Indeed, I should see it for myself," Xu Nian immediately replied with a smile.

Li Tian smiled slightly.

Then he led Xu Nian to a secluded stele in the west of the city.

He threw two Mid-grade Immortal Origin Stones at the stele, and they directly penetrated it.

Soon, two tokens were thrown from the other side of the stele.

Xu Nian’s face was filled with surprise.

"These tokens are proof of identity to enter the secret market. It requires a Mid-grade Immortal Origin Stone to enter the market," Li Tian explained.

Xu Nian nodded.

Then he followed Li Tian towards a doorway next to the stele.

Passing through the doorway, the scenery changed dramatically.

A long and wide street appeared before them.

On the street, there were crowds coming and going, although most people’s auras were restrained.

At this moment, Xu Nian and Li Tian had also changed their appearance and aura.

Without using Immortal Essence, basically, no one could recognize their identity.

"This is the secret market, and those who trade here are mostly Profound Immortals, as well as Luoxian, Golden Immortals occasionally appear though the chances are low," Li Tian explained.

Xu Nian was shocked internally.

There are Luoxian here?

And possibly meeting Golden Immortals?

This secret market seems incredibly powerful!

Wondering who is behind it all.

Xu Nian glanced at the stalls around him, more peaceful than the outside hustle.

Most of the vendors quietly sat cross-legged nearby, ignoring the passing pedestrians.

No one dared to cause trouble here.

According to Li Tian, there were once Luoxian Realm experts who disturbed others here, but a mysterious figure in black suddenly appeared and killed them in an instant.

Hence, the force behind the secret market is even more terrifying than imagined.

Xu Nian’s gaze started wandering around.

Upon seeing it, Xu Nian was immediately astonished.

Things sold in this secret market are indeed more precious than those outside.

Some Mid-grade Immortal Artifacts, even Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts, Mid-grade Immortal Talismans, etc., were just casually placed on stalls.

And there were quite a lot of them.

Next, Xu Nian and Li Tian strolled around, and Li Tian, who hadn’t made a move, finally acted.

He bought ten Mid-grade Immortal Talismans, four Top-Grade Immortal Talismans, and two Top-Grade Immortal Arrays.

Truly rich and powerful.

Xu Nian, however, didn’t make further purchases.

He didn’t need Mid-grade Immortal Talismans; he had a Mid-grade Sword Array and an Immortal Level Puppet.

Below the Luoxian, no one could hurt him.

Mid-grade Immortal Talismans were meaningless to him.

As for Top-Grade Immortal Talismans, he couldn’t afford them without selling another Top-grade Immortal Artifact.

But Xu Nian didn’t do so because he wasn’t very familiar with Li Tian yet.

If he took out another Top-grade Immortal Artifact, it would certainly arouse the other’s suspicion.

Matters regarding the Immortal Treasure must be approached cautiously.

"Boy, go to the stall on the left and buy that purple stone in the corner."

Suddenly, the voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in his mind.

"Huh? A stone?" Xu Nian looked at the stone.

He noticed the stone was crystal-clear purple, with purple liquid seemingly flowing inside.

A not-weak Immortal Essence Wave emanating from it.

Other than that, nothing special.

"This is called the Purple Blood Crystal, transformed from the essence blood of the Purple Lightning Proud Dragon, ranked second among the Nine Great Ancestor Dragons. If you absorb this bloodline, not only will your strength be enhanced, but your Dragon Energy can undergo a tremendous transformation," Emperor Ye Tian explained.

"The essence blood of the Purple Lightning Proud Dragon?" Xu Nian was shocked internally.

Since he broke through to the Heavenly Immortal, ordinary Dragon Clan bloodlines were no longer useful to him.

Now he could directly obtain the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline.

That would be an immense help to him.

Moreover, it’s a Dragon Clan bloodline he hadn’t absorbed before.

This way, his Dragon Energy can again become functional.

In the future, when the Nine Dragons Supreme Body reaches Great Success, it will definitely be an unparalleled existence.

Buy it!

Definitely buy it!

Xu Nian directly walked to that stall and picked up the Purple Blood Crystal.

"Immortal Master, how much for this stone?" Xu Nian asked.

"Ten Top-grade Immortal Essence Stones." The seller was a middle-aged man with a very cold demeanor, giving Xu Nian no room for bargaining.

Apparently, he wasn’t ignorant about the item.

Even though he didn’t know what it was, just the Immortal Essence Wave from it wasn’t less than a Top-grade Immortal Essence Stone, so the price was naturally high.

"Brother Xu, are you buying this?" Li Tian curiously looked at Xu Nian.

"Yes, it’s somewhat useful to me," Xu Nian replied.

Li Tian nodded without asking further.

Xu Nian directly took out ten Top-grade Immortal Essence Stones and threw them to the cold middle-aged man.

"Wait, I want this stone, I’m offering fifteen Immortal Essence Stones."

Just as Xu Nian was about to pay, a voice interrupted his action.

A woman tossed fifteen Top-grade Immortal Essence Stones over.

Xu Nian frowned and looked at the newcomer.

The woman had a decent appearance but exuded a cold and proud aura.

As for her Cultivation, it was unclear.

Behind her was a very indifferent middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man gave Xu Nian a terrifying feeling.

Xu Nian was certain the middle-aged man was at least of the Luoxian Realm, potentially a Golden Immortal.

This greatly displeased Xu Nian.

But presently, he couldn’t afford to offend such experts.

"Forget it!" Xu Nian stood up, ready to leave.

"Do you still want to buy it, ten Top-grade Immortal Essence Stones, if you buy it, the stone is yours."

At this moment, the stall owner suddenly spoke to Xu Nian.

This surprised Xu Nian!

"You!"

The woman immediately glared at the stall owner.

The stall owner wasn’t intimidated, coldly saying, "That’s the rule in the secret market, first come, first served."
