301: What makes it dare to advertise like that?!

"What are you planning to do?"

Liu Xianyun looked at Shen Tianxing, thinking he had some ideas about these Forbidden Grounds.

During this period, after they arrived in the Inner Sea, they did not take any action. Instead, they hid their tracks and used Incarnations to inquire about information regarding the Inner Sea.

They inquired about the One Sect, Three Halls, Six Prefectures, Twelve Caves, as well as the Forbidden Grounds, and almost all the renowned forces in the Inner Sea!

In Liu Xianyun's opinion, making plans for the Forbidden Grounds now had no practical meaning.

With the anomalies in the Forbidden Grounds, even if there were extraordinary Opportunities inside, they would not be able to obtain them for the time being.

"You think I'm planning to target these Forbidden Grounds?"

Shen Tianxing smiled slightly, "I'm not an idiot. If I expose myself now, wouldn't that just make them focus their attention on me? Only an idiot would do something so reckless!"

Reckless?

You actually understand the word 'reckless'?

Liu Xianyun and Xing Yao, who were beside him, looked at him meaningfully.

Liu Yueying wanted to laugh but dared not, holding it in with great difficulty.

In the Outer Sea, which of his actions didn't seem reckless?

"Don't look at me like that!"

Shen Tianxing pouted and said, "Now, the frequent anomalies in the Forbidden Grounds have drawn the attention of all the top forces in the Inner Sea. At the same time, they are also facing a huge problem!"

Problem?

Liu Xianyun pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying they will lack Cultivation resources due to the anomalies in the Forbidden Grounds?"

"Precisely!"

Xing Yao, however, shook her head and said, "These Sects have existed for countless years. Even if they can't obtain resources from inside for a while, they won't be in short supply. With so many years of deep cultivation, how could they not have some reserves?"

This was precisely where Liu Xianyun and Xing Yao found it unreasonable.

Every Sect has reserves. Not to mention these top forces in the Inner Sea, even the demons and ghost Cultivators in places like the Great Qi Dynasty had them.

That was the foundation of every powerful Sect!

"You wouldn't know about this, would you?"

"As for the so-called top forces of the Inner Sea, what you see is only the surface. Don't forget, behind each of these Sects stands an extraordinary existence!"

"Behind the Qi Mo Sect is the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, behind the Star Palace is the Dianxing Academy. What about the others?"

"Eastern Continent, Western Ridge, Southern Domain—none of those places are weaker than the Northern Wilderness. The shadows of these top forces in the Inner Sea are all behind them!"

"Therefore, if I'm not mistaken, all the resources obtained here have long since been sent to the forces behind them!"

"This is why I say they lack Cultivation resources!"

This… Liu Xianyun and Xing Yao exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.

This guy could remember even such small details so clearly?

The existence of the Eastern Continent, Western Ridge, and Southern Domain was known to very few people in the Inner Sea. Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun also obtained this information from the Saints in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

If Shen Tianxing's guess was true, then the problems faced by these top forces in the Inner Sea would be immense!

Cultivation is inherently Heaven-Defying. If you don't advance, you retreat!

Without good training grounds like the Forbidden Grounds, and without a large output of Cultivation resources, how could these top Sects of the Inner Sea not be anxious?

They urgently needed a large amount of Cultivation resources!

And currently, the only one with such vast Cultivation resources was Shen Tianxing!

Not to mention the rewards distributed by the soul slaying platform along the way.

Just the resources obtained from clearing the entire Outer Sea were an astronomical number!

"You want to use the Cultivation resources in your hand to do something?"

A strange light flickered in Liu Xianyun's beautiful eyes. This little scoundrel was always able to utilize all available resources at his disposal, and he used them very well to achieve his desired goals!

Just like back then, because of a trace of guilt in her heart, he treated her like an ox to be commanded… "Exactly!"

Shen Tianxing smiled happily, looking at the increasingly fierce battle in the distance, countless thoughts had already risen in his heart.

These top Sects of the Inner Sea would certainly not let him off.

Before his identity was exposed, he naturally couldn't sit idly by. He had to make full preparations before danger arrived!

"Then what are you planning to do?"

Xing Yao was even more curious, really unable to understand what method he could use to deal with these top Inner Sea forces.

They were not like the Outer Sea; the peak experts of the Golden Body Realm were an insurmountable obstacle for them!

Even without Golden Body Realm Cultivators, wouldn't those Elders and Protectors all have strength no weaker than the fifth or sixth level of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm?

"You will know soon enough. I have a plan!"

Shen Tianxing smiled and gestured for the others to leave.

On the distant island, the Cultivators of the White Tiger Mansion were still dealing with the endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, and their casualties were heavy!

Even with a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm fourth-level Protector present, they still couldn't withstand the terrifying Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters!

No one noticed that Shen Tianxing had not only arrived in the Inner Sea but had also watched a grand show and quietly departed!

...Half a month later, the anomalies in the Inner Sea Forbidden Grounds became more and more frequent, showing no signs of calming down.

The experts of the major top forces were also somewhat powerless.

As long as the anomalies were not understood, they could not enter the Forbidden Grounds, could not train to improve their Cultivation, and even more, could not obtain the resources within, which caused great difficulties for their daily Cultivation!

Suspended City!

This was a large city belonging to the Starlight Cave, and the entire city floated in mid-air.

Its geographical location was very unique. It bordered the territory of Feiyun Cave to the east, Bone Immortal Cave to the west, and spanned the White Tiger Mansion and Azure Dragon Mansion to the north and south, making it a prosperous commercial city!

Although there were no outstanding products here, the convenience of travel led Cultivators from all over the Inner Sea to gather here, making it even more prosperous!

On a bustling street in this large city, a Trading Firm nicknamed 'Never Look Back' quietly opened.

The Never Look Back Merchant Guild was a five-story building, built by the river, with merchants and Cultivators passing by on the street outside.

The five-story pavilion had fiery red lanterns hanging on each floor, looking extremely conspicuous.

"Never Look Back Merchant Guild's grand opening! Weapons, Medicinal Pills, precious herbs, and Cultivation Techniques are all available, with a 10% discount!"

"Our small shop deals only in divine marrow, fair to all!"

Outside the Trading Firm, a red poster was affixed to the main entrance. The characters on it were written with powerful strokes, exuding a strong Aura!

A young man in a gray robe, holding a folding fan, stood at the entrance, accompanied by a burly man, who looked like the scholar's bodyguard.

"Never Look Back Merchant Guild? What kind of name is that? So strange!"

"They sell quite a lot, weapons, Medicinal Pills, everything? Is it real or fake!"

"They even sell Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals? Even Myriad Treasures Pavilion wouldn't dare boast like this. What's the background of this Trading Firm, to dare to brag so much!"

Outside the Trading Firm, a large crowd of Cultivators and merchants from various places quickly gathered.

Looking at the Trading Firm's announcement, everyone showed suspicion.

Who didn't know that recently, due to the anomalies in the Forbidden Grounds, resources in the Inner Sea had become scarce?

How dare it boast like this!

..."Get out of the way! Get out of the way! All of you, scram!"

"Patriarch Tu is here, hurry up and move aside!"

Outside the Trading Firm, a group of burly men in black clothes with powerful Auras pushed aside the surrounding crowd, acting rude and not putting these Cultivators in their eyes at all.

In the distance, a group of people was slowly walking towards the Trading Firm.

There were three leaders, all exuding a strong, unconcealed Aura. The surrounding Cultivators and merchants watching saw the newcomers and all showed fear, retreating to the side.

Behind them were hundreds of Cultivators dressed in various Family uniforms, each with a powerful Aura, all at least Carefree Realm Cultivators!

These three individuals were infamous in Suspended City, with extremely powerful Family forces. Even more terrifying was that behind them stood the Starlight Cave, one of the Twelve Caves!

"It's Tu Yuanxing, and also Patriarch Lin Mo Bei of the Lin Family, and Patriarch Jiang Haoyun of the Jiang Family. The people from their three Families actually came together. It seems the recent rumors about the inability to obtain Forbidden Ground resources are true!"

"It's almost certain. There's a Forbidden Ground near Suspended City that these three Families are responsible for guarding. They never needed to buy or sell resources from Trading Firms. Coming here must be for Cultivation resources!"

"Since their three Families have come, it's likely the Mo Family and Cheng Family will also appear soon. The five great Families of Suspended City—these three work for the Starlight Cave, and the other two work for the Immortal Bone Cave. They will definitely come upon hearing the news!"

The Cultivators present discussed in low voices, and the dominance of the Tu Family, Lin Family, and Jiang Family who had arrived was evident!

Tu Yuanxing and the other two walked to the entrance of the Trading Firm, glanced at the notice, and said in a deep voice, "Where are you from, Trading Firm? How dare you exaggerate so much? If we can't buy what we need, how will you account to us?"

Cultivation resources have always been the most important for all forces, and also the foundation for the Cultivation of Sect Disciples. Recently, resources have been difficult to obtain, and the Starlight Cave has repeatedly demanded that they find ways to acquire Cultivation resources.

If they failed, these three Families would not have a good outcome.

Therefore, the first thing Tu Yuanxing did upon arriving here was to ascertain the other party's background and clarify whether they could truly obtain the desired Cultivation resources here to complete their task.

"Patriarch Tu's words are somewhat biased. Without some capability, we wouldn't dare open a Trading Firm here. Rest assured, esteemed Patriarchs, this Trading Firm has everything, absolutely no falsehoods!"

"If you are not satisfied, I will personally smash this signboard!"

At the entrance of the Trading Firm, the young man who looked like a shopkeeper, holding a folding fan, walked up to Tu Yuanxing and his group, smiling as he spoke.

Once you come the first time, you can never turn back!

The treasures inside are so numerous, they are enough to blind their eyes!

Most importantly, the Tu Family, Lin Family, and Jiang Family are all top Families of Suspended Island, backed by the Starlight Cave. Their appearance is perfect for giving their Trading Firm a live advertisement, isn't it?

He was even afraid that the commotion here wasn't big enough to let people from other forces know. It would be perfect if all the top Sects in the Inner Sea knew about such a Trading Firm, where a large amount of Cultivation resources could be bought!

"Young man, what big words!"

"Our three Families represent the Starlight Cave. If you can't meet our demands, it won't be as simple as just smashing your signboard!"

Jiang Donglai said coldly, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

To be able to gain a foothold in the Inner Sea and serve as an attachment to a top force like the Starlight Cave, these three Families wielded considerable power!

"Whether it's true or not, wouldn't we know by going in and taking a look?"

Lin Tianzong stepped forward, about to walk into the Trading Firm. Tu Yuanxing and Jiang Donglai, with cold faces, also prepared to enter.

"Three Patriarchs, please wait!"

Shen Liu stepped forward, blocking the three, and smiled, "This Trading Firm will open in three days. You won't see anything if you go in now."

"If the three Patriarchs are interested, you are welcome to come in three days. By then, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Shen Liu, who was Shen Tianxing's sixth Incarnation, knew that opening this Trading Firm was not merely for selling resources.

The biggest goal was to let all the top forces in the Inner Sea know and send people to come!

This was a trap Shen Tianxing had specially laid for them!

These three guys hadn't even helped them spread their reputation yet, so how could they be allowed to enter the Trading Firm so easily?

To put it bluntly, they weren't qualified enough!

"Hmm? You dare to stop us!"

"I can shut you down with a single word, do you believe me?"

Tu Yuanxing's eyes narrowed coldly, and a powerful Aura enveloped Shen Liu. The terrifying Aura spread out, once again pushing back the surrounding Cultivators who were watching.

Cracks appeared on the ground!

"Patriarch Tu, I still say the same thing: we open in three days, we only accept divine marrow, not Spirit Stones!"

"This Trading Firm has everything and will definitely satisfy you all. However, if you try to force your way in, you can certainly try!"

Boom!!!

Shen Liu finished speaking with a grin, then a terrifying Aura erupted from his body, but it was instantly retracted.

And it was this fleeting Aura that instantly shattered the Aura that Tu Yuanxing had enveloped him with. Tu Yuanxing, Jiang Donglai, and Lin Tianzong, along with the Cultivators behind them, were all forced back three steps!

Hiss!!!

A mere shopkeeper, yet he possessed such a terrifying Aura?

The three exchanged glances, all shocked!

One must know that they were Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm Cultivators, yet they were so easily pushed back. How strong must this young man in front of them be?

And how powerful was the force behind this Never Look Back Merchant Guild?!

Not only were the three of them shocked, but the surrounding Cultivators and merchants were equally stunned!

"Shopkeeper, will there really be all kinds of resources in three days? Could you let us see a catalog in advance, to be prepared?"

Just then, another group of people arrived from outside the crowd.

Leading this group were two middle-aged men, robust in build, yet with smiling faces, appearing very amiable.

Amiable?

There were no such people in the Sea of Buried Demons!

"Mo Yun, Cheng Dong, you've come too!"

Tu Yuanxing recognized the newcomers at a glance, and his gaze became even colder.

Mo Yun, however, smiled and ignored him. The two sides were not from the same force, and there was often conflict between them, so there was no need to give him a good impression.

"Shopkeeper, how about it? My request isn't excessive, is it?"

Mo Yun still had an amiable expression, no one knew what he was thinking.

Shen Liu, however, smiled indifferently, "No problem, esteemed sirs, please look!"

Swish!

Shen Liu waved his arm, and a scroll suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, engraved with countless patterns. Each pattern represented a type of Cultivation resource, and there were even weapons, precious armor, and the like.

Among them, Shen Liu specifically displayed three rare and precious treasures, making everyone's breathing quicken and their eyes show greed!
