229: Chapter 229 Explosive Sound Valley, Xuanming Appears

Hum!

With a thought from Hun Tiandi, his soul power surged forth, enveloping the mountain-like pile of rare treasures and sweeping them all into the Netherworld.

He sighed inwardly, truly worthy of the vast Central Plains. The medicinal herbs emitted a rich fragrance, and there were all kinds of weapons. It was dazzling and countless, enough to make one lose themselves in it.

This Sound Valley matchmaking event and the forbidden land ruins had attracted many youths to gather, all bringing out treasures accumulated over many years to trade for useful items.

He would take this opportunity to collect more of the items he needed.

This was much faster than collecting them by himself. Even some rare and precious medicinal plants, grown for hundreds or thousands of years, were invaluable materials for alchemy or brewing wine. These were all treasures!

Many things might not be needed now, but they could come in handy later. He also did not refuse any refining materials offered for trade; he was not currently lacking any.

He already possessed the Netherworld Killing Sword, the ten thousand soul banner, the emperor-slaying blade, and the nether demonic zither.

Once he finished learning the zither arts this time and left the Central Plains, he would begin preparing to establish his own faction, which would require endless resources.

No matter how many treasures he had, it would never be enough. He was extremely interested in selling Spirit Wine at Sound Valley this time and trading for medicinal herbs, plants, weapons, and ores. In fact, the most important point was to make a name for the Spirit Wine and gain the favor of people across the continent.

Moreover, as long as one had the wine recipe and materials, Spirit Wine could be brewed. It was not as strict as being an Alchemist, who had to advance in rank to refine pills of the corresponding grade.

Of course, Spirit Wine was also graded from the first to the tenth grade. Low-grade Spirit Wine was first to fourth grade, mid-to-high-grade was fifth to eighth grade, and anything above the eighth grade was top-tier Spirit Wine.

With the alchemy canon, he could easily deduce various Spirit Wines, which were numerous in quantity.

Each type had miraculous effects, comparable to medicinal pills, and could satisfy one's appetite, even surpassing them in some respects.

Inside the Time Tower, Ye Lingxi had followed the wine recipes to brew a large quantity of Spirit Wine, which allowed them to sell it in large quantities at Sound Valley this time.

However, the materials required for brewing Spirit Wine were not ordinary grains. They were all kinds of rare treasures, spiritual plants, medicinal herbs, and precious spiritual fruits...

Under normal circumstances, even brewing one type of Spirit Wine was very difficult, and collecting the herbs and fruits would consume an unknown amount of effort.

Now that youths from major factions in the Central Plains were gathered at Sound Valley, many rare items could be seen. This was the perfect opportunity to trade for herbs and spiritual fruits. Anyone who missed this would be a fool.

In his mind, building a medicinal field was also part of his plan. Rare treasures, herbs, and spiritual fruits grew from the heavens and earth. Each maturation required a great deal of time, and some precious medicinal herbs even needed hundreds or thousands of years.

Such medicinal herbs were few in number and rarely seen; if they were used up this time, what would happen next time? Therefore, knowing how to cultivate, recuperate, and develop sustainably was the absolute truth. Leaving behind seeds and seedlings so that cultivation would not be cut off was the only way to ensure an inexhaustible supply.

Hun Tiandi naturally understood this principle and would not cut off his own path. The more precious the medicinal herb, the more valuable it was; this time he not only had to collect them but also cultivate them. That was his plan when he had previously placed them into the Netherworld for planting.

Hum!

Hun Tiandi waved his large sleeve, and hundreds of jade bottles appeared on his stall, immediately attracting the gazes of those who had not yet managed to buy any.

"There's Spirit Wine for sale again, hurry up… Trade Spirit Wine for rare treasures…"

"I didn't manage to snatch any the past two days… Spirit Wine is even more precious than medicinal pills…"

Immediately, many people gathered in front of the stall. Those who had already purchased some shared the Spirit Wine with their friends, all praising it endlessly. Spirit Wine was almost never brewed in the Fighting Qi Continent and had always been extremely rare.

When this batch of Spirit Wine appeared, it immediately attracted the gazes of many people. Of course, inside the Time Tower, there was already a ten-year stock of Spirit Wine stored. If he saw good things, he could bring it out to trade.

Such Spirit Wine would certainly retain customer confidence. The beauty of Spirit Wine lay in its extreme rarity, and unlike the systematic nature of alchemy, the most precious thing was that it possessed the effects of medicinal pills while also satisfying one's appetite.

Gulp...

Hun Tiandi drank the Spirit Wine. The rich and mellow aroma of the wine poured out from the jade bottle, wafting into the noses of everyone present and stimulating their taste buds.

"I'll trade with century-old warm jade…"

"I'll trade with millennium-old agarwood…"

Immediately, the trading business was booming, even alarming the people in Sound Valley, who began to trade for the Spirit Wine.

The difference between Spirit Wine and ordinary wine lay in the aroma. The aroma of ordinary wine emitted an intoxicating scent, while Spirit Wine was mellow and rich, intoxicating yet refreshing. It contained pure energy and could even increase one's cultivation level...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the harvest was full. Almost everyone from the major factions who came to Sound Valley this time had traded for Spirit Wine.

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi sensed a strong murderous intent. He abruptly raised his head to look, their eyes meeting in mid-air, erupting with terrifying electric light.

"Tianyin Sect, Xuanming?" Hun Tiandi's chilling voice rang out, his gaze like a sword.

Xuanming smiled coldly, looking at him playfully. Behind him followed several middle-aged men, cold and stern as lightning, like assassins who had walked out of black ice. He made a throat-slitting gesture towards Hun Tiandi, then turned and left.

"Xuanming, he actually appeared in Sound Valley too?" Suddenly, the voice of Feng Qianyou rang out from behind; it was Feng Qianyou and her group who had been wandering around.

"I'm afraid the Tianyin Sect has set their sights on you…" Lei Xuanji smiled playfully.

"No matter. After finishing the business in Sound Valley, I will deal with Xuanming and the Tianyin Sect behind him, uprooting them all at once!" Hun Tiandi spoke indifferently, his calm tone carrying extreme murderous intent.

Xuanming's repeated provocations had completely incited his murderous intent. He had even already arranged for the Blood God Child to bring that person to the Central Plains to deal with the Yellow Spring Pavilion.

A few days ago, the young pavilion master of the Yellow Spring Pavilion, Huang Quan, had also provoked him. He might as well wipe them out while he was at it!

Previously, Hun Tiandi's strength was low, and facing the pursuit of the Starfall Pavilion, the Xiao Family, and even the Pill Tower, he had to choose to avoid their sharp edge. Now that his cultivation had broken through to Dou Ling, the forces he held in his hands did not allow him to hide in a low profile anymore.

He could naturally see the murderous intent in Xuanming's eyes, but just as Xuanming wanted to kill him, how could Hun Tiandi not want to destroy him?

He put away the rare treasures, spiritual fruits, medicinal herbs, weapons, and ores he had exchanged...

Appearing in the Netherworld, he swept his large sleeve, and each spiritual plant and herb rose into the air, landing on the earth. Irrigated by the rich heaven and earth energy, they regained their vitality.

The Blood Bodhi Vine took root in the soil, growing continuously, its small red fruits growing and shimmering.

The Ghost-Face Peach Tree, a small sapling as tall as a person, emitted a cold, evil aura, growing fist-sized peaches that displayed hideous faces.

Phantom Spirit Grass, Fire Dragon Fruit, Fairy Peach Tree seedlings... all were planted in the Netherworld. The fertile soil and pure energy were the most suitable environment for the growth of medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and fruits.

Trading goods for goods, as long as both sides were satisfied, as long as each liked it, that was enough. The goods were cleared, and everyone was happy.

For a time, the Spirit Wine was the hit of the entire venue, and the Spirit Wine brought by Hun Tiandi was taken away in large batches.

Some who loved fine wine even drank it on the spot. They shouted "Good wine!" while hugging the jade bottles and walking away. This was the best publicity; those who could taste the Spirit Wine all brought out their precious private stock to trade. It even caused the heat of Sound Valley's matchmaking event to dissipate quite a bit.

"It seems the Spirit Wine brewed by Lingxi is very popular with the major factions…" Lei Xuanji said slowly.

Hearing this, Ye Lingxi, her face blushing, spoke: "Not at all, it was all Brother Yun's good teaching. If he hadn't taught me the method of brewing Spirit Wine, I wouldn't have been able to brew it."

Elder Dan heard this and said nothing, gulping down the Spirit Wine, his eyes hazy.

General Ye Wudi looked at Ye Lingxi proudly, his eyes filled with doting affection; this was his sister.
