204: trade

Although Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong were somewhat disappointed by the news, they did not give up. They knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they had to try.

The City Lord looked at their determined eyes, sighed, and continued, "However, I can tell you a possible clue. Ten Thousand Demons Valley, that's where he obtained his nascent formation pill."

Ten Thousand Demons Valley, a place full of mystery and danger, was a paradise for Yao Beasts and a treasure trove where many Cultivators sought Opportunity.

Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing this. They knew that although Ten Thousand Demons Valley was fraught with danger, it might hold the nascent formation pill Pill Formula they had been searching for.

Thus, the two decided to immediately head to Ten Thousand Demons Valley to search for the legendary nascent soul pill.

They bid farewell to the people of Cloud Hidden City and embarked on their journey to Ten Thousand Demons Valley. Along the way, they traversed vast seas and endured countless hardships, finally arriving at the entrance of Ten Thousand Demons Valley.

Inside Ten Thousand Demons Valley, Yao Beasts roamed freely, and dangers lurked everywhere. Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong proceeded cautiously, constantly alert to their surroundings.

Neither of them was going to Ten Thousand Demons Valley for the first time. Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong decided to go to the Human Race outpost first.

There, they might be able to inquire about the nascent formation pill Pill Formula. The Human Race outpost was a relatively safe place within Ten Thousand Demons Valley, where many Cultivators seeking Opportunity gathered.

Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong arrived at the Human Race outpost and found it to be bustling indeed. Cultivators were either exchanging insights or trading treasures, a busy scene.

They began to inquire about news throughout the outpost. After some effort, they finally learned from an acquaintance, Hongxi, that a nascent formation pill was being sold at the Ten Thousand Demons Auction, but she was unsure if there was a nascent formation pill Pill Formula.

Upon hearing this, a spark of hope ignited in Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong's hearts. They knew that the Ten Thousand Demons Auction was the biggest event in Ten Thousand Demons Valley, bringing together Cultivators and treasures from all directions. Perhaps there, they could really find the nascent formation pill Pill Formula or a nascent soul pill.

The two decided to immediately head to the Ten Thousand Demons Auction. They pushed through the bustling crowd of Cultivators and arrived at the auction's entrance. At the entrance, a long line had formed, with Cultivators presenting their invitations and entering the venue in an orderly fashion.

Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong also presented their invitations and successfully entered the auction. Inside the venue, it was magnificent and grand, with countless Cultivators sitting or standing, their conversations and discussions rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere.

The two found a place to sit. At this moment, Lin Feng saw an acquaintance, a Nascent Soul Senior named Senior Fox Meier, and quickly went up to greet her.

Senior Fox Meier was quite surprised to see Lin Feng; she hadn't expected to encounter him here. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Feng inquired about the nascent formation pill Pill Formula.

Upon hearing this, Senior Fox Meier's face showed a thoughtful expression. She said, "Sect Leader Lin, I have indeed heard some news about the nascent formation pill Pill Formula. However, this Pill Formula is extremely precious, and it's not easy to obtain. But, there might be a nascent formation pill appearing at the Ten Thousand Demons Auction, you can keep an eye out."

Lin Feng felt a surge of gratitude upon hearing this. He knew that it was already quite difficult for Senior Fox Meier to provide him with such a clue. He expressed his thanks to Senior Fox Meier and began to pay attention to the auction's proceedings.

The auction began, and one by one, precious treasures were brought to the stage, attracting bids from Cultivators. Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong also participated, raising their bidding paddles from time to time.

Finally, a grand finale treasure was brought out. Inside an exquisite jade bottle was a Medicinal Pill exuding rich Spiritual Qi, precisely the nascent soul pill Lin Feng had dreamed of.

Lin Feng's heart rejoiced at the sight. He unhesitatingly raised his paddle and began bidding. After a fierce bidding war, Lin Feng ultimately won the nascent soul pill at a high price.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to leave the auction, unexpected news arrived. Someone was willing to sell the nascent formation pill Pill Formula, but the price was extremely high.

Upon hearing this, a spark of hope immediately ignited in Lin Feng's heart. He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity that he had to seize. Therefore, he decided that he would obtain this Pill Formula at all costs.

After some inquiries, Lin Feng found the mysterious Cultivator willing to sell the nascent formation pill Pill Formula. This Cultivator was clad in a black robe, their face hidden beneath a hood, appearing mysterious. Lin Feng stepped forward and politely asked, "Senior, I heard you are willing to sell the nascent formation pill Pill Formula, is that true?"

The mysterious Cultivator nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, I am willing to sell the nascent formation pill Pill Formula. However, the price is not low. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Although Lin Feng felt a little uneasy, he still nodded firmly and said, "Senior, I am willing to buy it. Please name your price."

The mysterious Cultivator looked at Lin Feng's determined eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Good, you have guts. For this Pill Formula, I want you to exchange it for three precious treasures."

Although Lin Feng was surprised by this, he agreed without hesitation. He knew the importance of the nascent formation pill Pill Formula to him; no matter the cost, he had to obtain it.

So, Lin Feng asked the Senior what the three specific treasures he wanted were. The mysterious Cultivator smiled slightly and slowly said, "First, I need a thousand-year ice lotus; second, I want a ten-thousand-year cold iron; as for the third, I want an ancient Artifact Refining Secret Manual."

Lin Feng pondered this in his heart. Each of these three treasures was extremely precious: the thousand-year ice lotus grew in extremely cold regions and was very difficult to pick; the ten-thousand-year cold iron was even rarer, said to be found only in extremely deep cold ice veins; and an ancient Artifact Refining Secret Manual was even more a matter of luck, with very few surviving.

But Lin Feng also understood the importance of the nascent formation pill Pill Formula to him. He gritted his teeth and decided that no matter what, he would gather these three treasures. So, he said to the mysterious Cultivator, "Senior, I will do my best to find these three treasures. Please give me some time, and I will surely bring them to you."

The mysterious Cultivator looked at Lin Feng's determined eyes, nodded, and said, "Very well, I will wait for you for a while. However, you must remember, time waits for no one."

Lin Feng secretly rejoiced at the news. He actually possessed an ancient Artifact Refining method, but he didn't want to hand it over to the person in front of him immediately, as that would make it seem too easy. He decided to first search for the thousand-year ice lotus and the ten-thousand-year cold iron, as he already had the ancient Artifact Refining Secret Manual.

Lin Feng left the auction and discussed with Zhou Xingtong, deciding to split up.

Lin Feng and Zhou Xingtong discussed that if Zhou Xingtong was willing to help him obtain the ten-thousand-year cold iron, he could let him have the nascent formation pill he possessed at a low price.
