With that, Hua Xiang retrieved two bottles of pills from his storage ring and passed them to Hua Xiang.

"Here are two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills. I think you guys should be clear about their effects." Hua Xiang said lightly.

"Yes, Qi Gathering Powder is a pill used by a Qi Condensation cultivator to replenish lost spiritual energy. One pill can be sold for about one spirit stone." I want to say it.

"Shopkeeper Wan is right, one Qi Gathering Powder is indeed worth one spirit stone. Today's competition topic is to sell ten Qi Gathering Pills to an Aurous Core stage cultivator for ten thousand spirit stones." Furthermore, you can only sell these ten Qi Gathering Pills. You cannot sell anything else, nor can you sell these to your acquaintances. " Hua Xiang said.

"What? This is impossible." The innkeeper of the Pure Heart Mansion, Meng Zhe, said first.

"This is a mission that is simply impossible to complete." Lu Quan also said with a frown.

"Everyone, this is your business path. If anyone feels that it's too difficult, they can just withdraw from the competition." Hua Xiang said lightly. However, the warning in his eyes was very obvious.

"Pa, pa, pa." After three claps, everyone turned around to see Lu Chen clapping his hands with a smile on his face.

"As expected of the title given by the Treasure Yuan Tower. Interesting." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Third brother, this is simply impossible." Lu Quan said.

"Isn't this great? This way, both sides will have a fair competition, as long as the people from the Treasure Yuan Tower are fair." Lu Chen said as he looked meaningfully at Wang Jun.

"Senior Lu is right. This is indeed the most fair method." Wang Jun also said with a smile.

Seeing that Lu Chen and the Wang Family didn't have any objections, the others all agreed to agree to the method of the duel.

What happened next was much simpler. Lu Chen and Wang Jun stepped forward to take the Qi Gathering Powder from Hua Xiang and opened it. They knew that the two bottles were the same Qi Gathering Powder and the quantity was the same as the other bottles.

"In order to resolve the dispute earlier, we need to finish this competition within two incense sticks of time. If we can't sell the Qi Gathering Powder or sell it to an Aurous Core stage cultivator within two incense sticks of time, we will lose." Hua Xiang asked for people to light the incense as they spoke indifferently.

When the members of the Allied Trade Association saw that the timer had started, they hurriedly headed towards the market. Wang Jun leisurely followed behind.

"Senior Lu is really relaxed." Wang Jun looked at Lu Chen, who was still standing at the same spot, and said with a faint smile.

"Aren't you very relaxed?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Lu Chen, you must have destroyed the Wang Family in Linzhou City." Wang Jun walked over to Lu Chen and whispered into his ear.

Lu Chen's expression changed, but on the surface, he still maintained his usual expression and said softly: "Who are you from the Wang Family?"

"That Wang family in Lin Zhou City is a branch of our Wang family in Spirit State City, but I won't do anything to you for such a small matter. To be honest, I admire you very much. Are you interested in joining us?" Wang Jun said softly.

"I haven't thought about joining you guys, but if you're willing to help me, I'd welcome you." Lu Chen said calmly.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Jun smiled and said, "As expected of the number one genius. After saying that, your boldness is much stronger than Murong Qing. I'll take my leave first, but at the same time, I hope you consider my previous suggestion." With that, Wang Jun left with his two Foundation Establishment subordinates.

Lu Chen looked at Wang Jun's back and thought for a while. He saw that the incense had already burnt a quarter of it before he took Lu Li to the market.

"Third brother, the people from the Treasure Yuan Tower are obviously making things difficult for us. How could ten Qi Gathering Pills be sold for ten thousand spiritual stones? Furthermore, it was sold to an Aurous Core stage cultivator." As soon as he left the square, Lu Quan complained.

"Lu Quan, you must remember not to easily say that you're giving up before you try." Lu Chen said to Lu Quan with a smile.

"But …" Lu Quan wanted to retort, but seeing Lu Chen's calm expression, he knew that Lu Chen definitely had a way, so he didn't say anything and just followed Lu Chen silently.

Lu Chen brought Lu Quan to the market, but did not see anyone from the Allied Trade Association that came first. He was also unwilling to spend time to find them, Lu Chen, and randomly found a Refinement Stage cultivator to walk towards him.

"Fellow Daoist." Lu Chen said softly.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Zhang Dao turned around to look at Lu Chen and Lu Quan and asked cautiously.

"You don't have to be so careful. It's just that I don't usually need ten Qi Gathering Pills, so I wanted to sell them to you for five Spirit Stones. Is that okay?" Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

"Senior, are you serious?" Zhang Dao said excitedly. He was a rogue cultivator. Even a single Qi Gathering Powder was a sky-high price for him. Now that Lu Chen told him that he could sell it for five spirit stones, it was like a pie in the sky.

"I don't think I need to lie to you." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, senior." Zhang Dao quickly fished out five spirit stones and passed it to Lu Chen. Lu Chen also handed the Qi Gathering Powder over to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Dao gratefully thanked Lu Chen after receiving the Qi Gathering Powder and left.

"Third Brother, why did you sell the Qi Gathering Powder to that person? In addition, you only sold it for five spirit stones?" Lu Quan asked doubtfully.

"Lu Quan, you'll understand why I'm doing this later." Lu Chen smiled as he brought Lu Quan towards a stall that sold junk.

Lu Chen bought an incomplete low-grade cultivation technique from another stall for four more spirit stones. After buying it, he sold it to a Qi Condensation cultivator with Fire Spirit Root for twenty spirit stones. After obtaining twenty spirit stones, Lu Chen went to another store and bought a mid-grade magic tool for twenty-one spirit stones. He then sold the spirit stone to an eleventh layer Refinement Stage cultivator for thirty-five Spirit Stones on the way.

Lu Quan watched as Lu Chen shuttled back and forth between the old stalls. The items in Lu Chen's hands also changed from dan medicines, artifacts, and cultivation techniques. The number of spirit stones in his hands also slowly increased from five spirit stones to two thousand spirit stones.

"Third brother, this is too amazing! How did you do it?" Lu Quan looked at Lu Chen in admiration.

"We'll each take what we need. Lu Quan, you have to remember that trading goods is actually the process of exchanging, and I am just showing this process to you." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

"However, Third Brother has probably been here for at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but he is already far away from his target." Lu Quan was worried.

"It's alright, this is the last exchange." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

Lu Chen brought Lu Quan into an herb shop and used the 2000 Spirit Stones he had on hand to buy one of the main ingredients for the Infant Transformation Pill, the Yin Yang Spirit Grass.

"May I ask which alchemist in Spirit State City is in a bad condition?" Lu Chen asked.

"Down? "It must be the owner of the most dilapidated building on this street. He is also a high-level alchemist, but because he offended the Treasure Yuan Tower, many people did not dare to let him refine medicine." The owner said.

Hearing the owner's words, a glint flashed across Lu Chen's eyes. After asking for the exact location, he flew with Lu Quyuan towards that person's residence.

When Lu Chen and Lu Quan arrived at that person's house, they couldn't help but feel that this person was really in dire straits. Due to the lack of time, Lu Chen directly pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Cough cough, to think that I've failed again. If only I had a good medicinal ingredient." Bai Xuan smiled bitterly. He was also an Aurous Core stage cultivator and even a Tier 4 alchemist, but because he had a conflict with an alchemist of the Baoyuan Restaurant, the people of the Baoyuan Restaurant had actually banned him from concocting pills. At the beginning, he did not care, but as he continued to consume spirit stones for concocting pills and could not sell them, it became increasingly difficult for him to finally sell his house and move into this place.

"Is anyone there?" Just as Bai Xuan was about to leave, he heard voices coming from outside the room. It was two unfamiliar young men.

"Why are you looking for me?" Bai Xuan looked at Lu Chen and Lu Quan vigilantly.

"I am Lu Xuan, this is my little brother, Lu Quan." I am Lu Xuan, this is my little brother, Lu Quan. Lu Chen said calmly.

"You must be here to mock this old man." Bai Xuan said excitedly.

"My friend, you are mistaken. We did not mean to ridicule you. I have a Yin Yang Infant Grass here that would like to exchange with you for two Hundred Essence Pills. Are you willing?" Lu Chen asked as he took out the Yin Yang Infant Grass.

Bai Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw the Yin Yang Infant Grass. He was going to challenge the refining process of the Infant Transformation Grass, but he had been missing this herb the entire time. On one hand, only those who knew the medicinal herbs would be able to recognize it, and even those who knew the medicinal herbs wouldn't be able to recognize it if they didn't make a mistake.

"Are you serious?" Bai Xuan reached out his hand, wanting to take a look at the Yin Soul Grass in Lu Chen's hand.

"Fellow daoist, why should we lie to you? If you don't believe it, you can take it and take a look." Lu Chen smiled as he handed the Yin-Yang Soul Grass over to Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan opened the box and confirmed that it was indeed the Yin Yang Infant Grass. He excitedly said, "Alright, alright, it's really the Yin Yang Infant Grass. Take these five Hundred Origin Pills." Bai Xuan took out a bottle of Hundred Origin Pill and handed it to Lu Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, we just need two." Lu Chen said.

"You guys take it. The value of this Yin Yang Infant Grass is not limited to just these five Hundred Essence Pills. In addition, all the pills I have left are useless." Bai Xuan said in a lonely voice.

Lu Chen could see that Bai Xuan's pain was caused by an Aurous Core stage cultivator. However, Bai Xuan's words caused Lu Chen's heart to tremble. As for Lu Chen, he suddenly wanted to take Bai Xuan as his own, but as time passed, he told Bai Xuan before leaving with Lu Quan.

When Lu Chen left Bai Xuan, he immediately found an Aurous Core stage cultivator at the market and sold three Hundred Origin Pills at a price of ten thousand Spirit Stones. Afterwards, he hurriedly flew back to the plaza with Lu Quan.

As for the appraisal, Lu Chen was not worried at all. Along the way, Lu Chen could feel that the people from the Treasure Yuan Tower had been following him in secret. After all, even if he sold the item to a Jindan Stage cultivator, he could not capture the person who bought the item as a witness.
