"Yes, yes, that's right. These three parties know that Guan Yue has the ability to become invisible, which is why they are willing to pay to capture him. Of course, they all want him alive; otherwise, how could they learn the Invisibility Technique? Hmph, it's a good thought. But if someone really captures Guan Yue, who wouldn't want to learn the Invisibility Technique for that bounty? If our Gong Family masters the Invisibility Technique, who would we have to fear?"
The three Disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm nodded in agreement.
Gong Bufan glanced at them and said heavily, "In that case, Old Man will go out for a while. Let's see what kind of person this Guan Yue is. You few help take care of my disciples and grandchildren while I’m gone."
Guan Yue was unaware that his actions had already attracted the attention of an old monster. He was still sulking about entering the Gong Family without any gains and exposing his Magic Supreme Technique. He only realized that the Gong Family was indeed extraordinary, possessing three experts in the Breaking Heaven Realm. He must stay away from this family in the future.
However, he still had not resolved his urgent need for Spirit Essence. What should he do?
Right? Could he auction off his Five-Flavor True Water and Spirit Void Liquid? If he could auction them off, wouldn’t that solve his funding problem? But according to the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, these items were exclusive to the Heavenly Court. Would revealing them in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain attract others' covetous eyes? Perhaps it would lead to trouble.
After much hesitation, Guan Yue decided to try his luck in the black market first; otherwise, his cultivation would be hindered, and that was something he could not afford to lose.
Upon careful investigation, he found two larger underground black markets in Seasand City specifically selling Disciple supplies. One of them was located not far from his partner's residence.
Entering the courtyard required one or two Golden Red Sands, which were quite expensive, but tolerable for Disciple with various needs.
In front of the courtyard was a banner that read: "Voluntary Participation, Fair Deal for All; goods and payment must be clear; no killing allowed."
Once inside the courtyard, Guan Yue was immediately dazzled by the sight. The courtyard was spacious and filled with all kinds of Disciple supplies—real and fake, large and small—everything depended on one's ability to discern authenticity. There were at least a thousand people trading here.
Guan Yue casually looked around and found many items he needed; however, without Spirit Essence, he couldn't buy anything. So he decided to place a small bottle of his prepared Five-Flavor True Water on a stone by the roadside and sat quietly on another stone. The row of stones served as stalls.
Aside from the entrance fee, no other charges were collected here, so both buyers and sellers were willing to do business here. As long as one had discernment, there was no fear of being taken advantage of.
Here, aside from some slick old merchants, there were also eager young ones looking to profit. Of course, there were some Experts who came here to hunt for treasures as well.
Guan Yue had just sat down on a rock when a Yellow Robed Elder approached him. He lowered his head, carefully lifted a vial to his nose and sniffed it, then shook the jade bottle a few times. He raised his head, stared into Guan Yue's eyes, and asked solemnly, "What is the price for this item?"
The presence of the Yellow Robed Elder was quite oppressive to Guan Yue. While he could remain calm in front of someone at the Breaking Heaven realm, he felt an involuntary urge to worship this elder. The old man’s cultivation was extraordinary.
However, Guan Yue managed to compose himself and replied, "I only trade for items. Not for sale."
The Yellow Robed Elder asked again, "What will you trade for?"
Guan Yue responded, "Eternal Snow Tree Leaf."
"Eternal Snow Tree? You have some worth there, but Old Man doesn't have any in stock," the Yellow Robed Elder muttered to himself. Upon hearing this, Guan Yue sensed an opportunity but remained silent to see what the elder would say next.
Sure enough, the Yellow Robed Elder continued, "Young master, I will take this vial of water. How about I leave you a few treasures as collateral? Once I obtain the Eternal Snow Tree, I will exchange them back."
"What do you have that can serve as collateral?" Guan Yue dared not refuse outright; if the elder were displeased, it could lead to serious consequences. He believed the elder had the power to make it happen.
The elder said nothing but pulled out a small glowing red orb and then added a short wooden stick of purple hue.
Guan Yue's eyes widened: these two items were absolute treasures, even more valuable than the Eternal Snow Tree. One was a Red Sea Heart and the other was Purple Wood Essence—both were rare items worth their weight in gold!
Guan Yue was momentarily stunned and quickly declined, "Senior, these two items are far too precious; it would be inconvenient to keep them here."
The Yellow Robed Elder laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry. This water is urgently needed by me. I will leave these two items with you for now. In a couple of days, I will return with the Eternal Snow Tree to exchange for them. If anyone foolish comes to covet these items, feel free to let them take them; Old Man will not blame you. I would like to see who dares to snatch what Old Man has entrusted to you."
The Yellow Robed Elder spoke with great confidence, which further moved Guan Yue and increased his admiration for him. Moreover, he spoke loudly enough for everyone present to hear clearly, causing a stir among the crowd.
"This old man is none other than the renowned Yellow Robe Sage. He is not someone to be trifled with in the Shanghai Rhythm Empire. He has surpassed the Breaking Heaven realm and may have reached the Mysterious Heaven Realm—he is an absolute Great Power in our Dragon Python Celestial Domain."
"Why has this old ghost come to Seasand City? He actually gave treasures to that young man and made such a fuss about it here; it's as if he's trying to put that young man in danger."
"The little guy who does business must have something extraordinary in that bottle; otherwise, how could the Yellow Robe Sage take an interest? Everything the Yellow Robe Sage needs is a rare treasure."
The Yellow Robed Elder seemed to ignore the other gossip and pointed at the jade bottle, saying to Guan Yue, "If you can find these items in the future, I want them all. And I will definitely not treat you poorly. I will leave now and will find you in two days to retrieve my things. Goodbye."
As he spoke, the Yellow Robed Elder vanished from the spot. The surroundings were filled with astonishment.
It should be noted that this place was surrounded by a spatial formation established by many Great Powers. Generally, even those at the Boundary Breaking level would be blocked by the formation and unable to break through. Yet this old man had simply charged right out, and the formation showed no reaction at all.
Such ability was truly astonishing.
Guan Yue held the Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence in his hands, not daring to put them into the Sky Peak Tower. Otherwise, if someone came to snatch them, they would discover the Sky Peak Tower as well.
So many people had seen the Yellow Robe Sage give him the Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence; now he had become a target for everyone, leaving Guan Yue feeling utterly helpless!
How could this happen? These people would definitely follow him. If he used the Invisibility Technique again, it would only draw trouble upon himself. This Yellow Robe Sage was truly despicable; he was completely setting him up.
Despite this, Guan Yue decided to leave immediately; staying any longer would only make things worse.
He began to move toward the gate of the courtyard while keeping an eye on those who might follow him for treasure. He wasn't afraid of them taking his treasures; he would just give them away. But if they intended to kill him to silence him, that would be a disaster.
Could it be that this old man came specifically to harm him? Using such methods to harm others is truly disheartening.
Guan Yue slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard and noticed five people attempting to follow him. They all stood up and walked toward the courtyard gate behind him. Two of them were unreservedly staring directly at Guan Yue, while the other three pretended to act casually, putting on a facade of completing their mission successfully.
However, under Guan Yue's Mental Peeping Technique, their malicious intentions were clear as day.
The only plan Guan Yue could think of was to rush into a crowded market and then enter a restroom to immediately use the Invisibility Technique and escape.
As soon as Guan Yue stepped out of the courtyard gate, he took off at full speed. Seeing Guan Yue actually able to fly left those pursuing Disciples utterly shocked.
In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, not to mention the Minor Ancestor Realm, even disciples of the Great Dao Realm cannot fly and can only run. Therefore, fast movement techniques are very popular, such as the Dragon Python Running Technique. However, to truly fly, one needs precious treasures, such as artifacts or Origin Tools.
In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, with a population of several hundred billion and disciples numbering over ten billion, most of whom are from the Minor Ancestor Realm and Great Dao Realm, they are spread throughout the entire domain. For tens of thousands of years, they have essentially turned the Dragon Python Celestial Domain upside down, exhausting all treasures and rare resources.
As a result, artifacts and Celestial Soldiers are extremely rare in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain now, considered as extreme treasures. Not to mention Origin Tools, which have become virtually unheard of.
The existing artifacts and Celestial Soldiers belong to national treasures, while Origin Tools have long been scavenged by the Heavenly Court.
Now that Guan Yue can fly, it indicates that he must possess a significant treasure, which makes everyone even more excited. Under their notifications, more people joined in tracking Guan Yue.
Guan Yue can only strive to fly and quickly shake off his pursuers. However, his new appearance has already come into everyone's view. As they watched him disappear into the horizon, legends about Guan Yue began to spread once again.
A flying Great Dao Realm cultivator and a young man with a Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence became Guan Yue's new identifiers!
Seasand City suddenly started to pay attention to this young man. Discussions about him were everywhere.
Guan Yue could only change his appearance once more.
He did not know if the Yellow Robe Sage would come looking for him or if he would bring the Eternal Snow Tree Leaf to him. However, he believed that the Yellow Robe Sage would want back his Red Sea Heart and Purple Wood Essence, so he could only wait. He hoped that the Yellow Robe Sage would keep his word.
After confirming that his disguise was flawless, Guan Yue returned to the tavern to drink and casually gather information.
