Chapter 370: Chapter 270 Great Sect Trade Fair_2
Zhao Daojing skillfully declined, “Junior Brother Fang, let’s not.”
Junior Brother Fang’s face turned pale as he spoke in a low tone, “Senior Sister, my family’s seats are on the second layer. If you sit with me, it certainly won’t disgrace the Zhao Family.”
Zhao Daojing showed a troubled expression. The family of this Junior Brother Fang was not ordinary, and she could not afford to offend him easily.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly said indifferently, “Daojing, let’s go!”
Junior Brother Fang instinctively frowned and then looked at Zhao Sheng with shock and confusion.
Despite not knowing who this person was, the mere form of address revealed who held the higher status between the two.
...
Zhao Daojing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded her head respectfully.
This gesture, observed by others, surprised those who knew Zhao Daojing’s identity, leading them to covertly assess Zhao Sheng as they speculated about his background.
Zhao Sheng, of course, noticed all of this but remained indifferent and did not pay much attention.
He walked towards the first layer and then found an empty seat to sit down boldly and prominently.
Zhao Daojing was secretly overjoyed and then sat next to the Jade Table, personally pouring tea and water for the elder.
At that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly sensed seven divine senses probing toward him from the surrounding area.
He frowned, and the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows instantly burst into an invisible fluctuation that swept out in all directions.
The invisible clash of divine senses lasted only a moment; the other seven divine senses retreated like startled rabbits, some conveying a friendly intention simultaneously.
Zhao Sheng looked around and nodded to the other seven fellow Daoists one by one.
Just as a manager from the Carefree Pavilion was about to ask the two from the Zhao Family to leave their seats, he suddenly felt an overwhelming divine sense storm flash from Zhao Sheng.
The man’s face changed color, and he silently backed down.
Seeing this scene, people on the second and third layers immediately started whispering among themselves, with divine sense messages flying all around.
In no time, information about the Dome Turtle Zhao Family spread rapidly throughout the entire palace.
Those present were discerning, and since the Carefree Pavilion had not asked them to leave, it implied that one of the two from the Zhao Family must undoubtedly be a Golden Core level figure.
Zhao Daojing certainly was not, so it had to be that unfamiliar young man.
No one had expected the Dome Turtle Zhao Family to be connected with a Golden Core Master.
Regardless of the relationship between the Zhao Family and this unfamiliar Golden Core, many forces silently raised their appraisal of the Dome Turtle Zhao Family.
…
In the moments that followed, another thirty or forty cultivators entered the hall, familiar with the unspoken rules, and took their seats on the second and third layers.
The palace was very quiet, with almost no one intending to talk to each other. Some were meditating with their eyes closed, while others sat leisurely, quietly waiting for the exchange meeting to begin.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhuang Ye, dressed in a flowing red gown, accompanied an old man with white beard and golden demeanor into the palace, and walked directly onto the Magic Platform, looking down at the people below.
At this moment, all the cultivators present turned their gazes directly towards the old man with the white beard.
“Ancestor, this person is the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Carefree Pavilion and a Golden Core elder of the Star God Palace, named Jin Yunzi. His presence to host this exchange meeting indicates that there will be many treasures available,” Zhao Daojing whispered.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng was intrigued, and just then, the True Immortal Jin Yunzi on the Magic Platform announced aloud:
“Welcome, fellow Daoists, to this exchange meeting. I am Jin Yunzi, the host here. It is truly an honor to see all of you. As is customary, let the fellow Daoists present their treasures first, then the Carefree Pavilion will follow.
Now, you may take out your treasures, briefly introduce them, mention what you want in exchange, whether it be other treasures or spirit stones, and those interested can trade on the spot.”
Everyone present wasn’t attending a trade meeting for the first time, and they were all familiar with the process.
As soon as Jin Yunzi finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a blue robe was the first to stand up from the first layer of seating; he was one of the Golden Core Masters.
“Since that is the case, let me be the one to throw out a brick to attract jade,” the man in the blue robe stepped onto the Magic Platform and greeted Jin Yunzi with a cupped fist salute.
Jin Yunzi returned the gesture, then stepped down from the Magic Platform with the support of Zhuang Ye.
The man in the blue robe began to speak.
His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone could clearly hear him.
Jiang Xing is my name, I have some modest renown in Shattered Star Sea. Those who know me are aware that I am from the Jiang Family of Clear Sky Island. Enough small talk, let’s see the treasures!”
As his voice fell, he took out two storage bags, and shook them forward a bit. After a burst of rosy light, several piles of items appeared on the Magic Platform, along with seven or eight treasures that shone brightly, dispersing and hovering in mid-air.
Most of the items on the ground consisted of various kinds of spirit ore, Spirit Grass, and beast skins and meats as raw materials.
The treasures in the air, surrounded by swirling spirit light, were obviously not ordinary, with even the lowest being Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
“Mystic Iron Ore, Chenyin Ore, and Coral Platinum Ore, totaling thirty thousand catties, and two hundred stalks of Hundred-Bladder Grass, with the lowest being a hundred years old… All of which have samples here, those interested feel free to come forward to check the quality.”
The next thing I’m about to introduce is… a Mid Grade Spirit Artifact, the Wind-breaking Spear, with a Thirteen Layer Earth Evil Technique Ban…”
The man in the blue robe continued to plainly introduce the items he brought, while his gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone present.
Finally, he frankly stated, “I am not greedy, the above spirit ore and Spiritual Medicine are all things that my Jiang Family can supply long-term. They can be exchanged for Spirit Stones, or traded for goods. Additionally, I, on behalf of the Jiang Family, promise to urgently trade for a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. Should anyone be willing to sell one, this top-grade spiritual artifact, the Water Spirit Pearl, will be yours. If that’s not enough, terms can still be negotiated.”

After Jiang Xing finished speaking, he waved his hand, sending out True Yuan to collect everything on the ground, and sent it back to the space in front of his own seat, then he flew directly back to his original seat and sat down.
Zhao Sheng realized something upon seeing this scene.
The trade meetings at Carefree Pavilion were like this, different from typical exchanges or auction meetings, leaning more towards exchanges dominated by powerful forces, including long-term trades and so forth.
In other words, Carefree Pavilion provided a large trading venue for the many Cultivation Forces of Shattered Star Sea and backed by Star God Palace for third-party guarantee.
Such large-scale trades merely skimmed a fraction off the top, easily earning massive amounts of Spirit Stones.
Zhao Sheng boldly speculated that Star God Palace would definitely use this method to buy low and sell high, or even secretly manipulate the market, and through this, clarify the strength of all forces within Shattered Star Sea.
As soon as the man in the blue robe stepped down, already many in the hall had eyes shining, and some had even covertly transmitted messages with their Divine Sense.
However, no one was trading yet, and everyone understood the reason— naturally, it was best to see everything before negotiating, lest they regret missing out on something better.
At that moment, another person flew up to the stage from another seat in the first layer.
However, this time, it wasn’t a Golden Core Master who appeared personally, but a young, beautiful woman.
“The little lady Qiao Tian’er, representing Immortal Sound Sect, greets all Fellow Daoists present. This time, I have brought a batch of Jade Fish Marrow Liquid, including a bottle of Third-rank Marrow Fluid. I would like to exchange some for Spirit Pills that treat injuries to the Divine Soul. Interested parties can contact me,” the woman said softly.
As she spoke, she flicked her hand, and a swath of rosy light spread out, unveiling more than a dozen transparent Jade Bottles in front of everyone, all filled with a large quantity of milky white marrow fluid.
This time, the reaction from the crowd was very subdued, only one or two people looked over carefully.
The woman from Immortal Sound Sect showed a slight flash of disappointment in her eyes, then silently flew down from the stage.
Zhao Sheng’s gaze shifted; he had refined many Bone Marrow Spirit Pills but had never tried using Third-rank Marrow Fluid as a material.
Thinking this, he barely moved his lips, transmitting his Divine Sense to the seat of Immortal Sound Sect.
At this moment, an elegant woman in simple robes from the Immortal Sound Sect’s seat slightly nodded to him in acknowledgment.
