Without a doubt, when the He Brothers announced their joining of the Starry Radiance Society the next day, the entire Xuantian Academy was shaken. Countless students swarmed towards Aotian's courtyard like locusts, and their purpose was, of course, to join the Starry Radiance Society. 0
 
It must be said that the He Brothers held more prestige in the academy compared to Mo Gang, and Snow Qincheng was not far behind. This was only natural; as the most outstanding alchemists and artifact refiners among the Inner Academy Students, it would be abnormal if they did not have students idolizing them. 0
 
With the addition of the He Brothers, the reputation of the Starry Radiance Society surpassed even that of top forces like the Sky Garment Gang and Mo Association. 0
 
After all, among the top ten in the Inner Academy, the Starry Radiance Society already occupied four spots. 0
 
Of course, some wise individuals chose not to join the Starry Radiance Society at this time. They were well aware that the leader of the Starry Radiance Society was set to battle Mo Gang's leader, Mo Gang, in ten days. If he won, the Starry Radiance Society would truly become one of the top forces in Xuantian Academy. 0
 
However, if the leader of the Starry Radiance Society were to lose, no matter how glorious this force appeared on the surface, there would inevitably be some gossip behind the scenes. This would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to the development of the Starry Radiance Society. 0
 
Therefore, a portion of students chose to remain inactive, waiting for Aotian and Mo Gang's match results before making a decision. 0
 
Of course, this was only a portion of the students; most students rushed towards the Starry Radiance Society upon seeing the He Brothers join. The scale was no less than when news of the Starry Radiance Society's establishment first broke. 0
 
Naturally, Ying Tianrui was busy arranging for these students joining the Starry Radiance Society. Meanwhile, Aotian, the leader of the Starry Radiance Society, was leisurely strolling through the Trading Hall with Snow Qincheng. 0
 
"The trading fair is held at the center of Trading Hall once a year and is organized by the higher-ups of Xuantian Academy. However, not everything at the fair comes from these higher-ups; some items are also contributed by students." 0
 
"Items at the trading fair do not necessarily have to be exchanged for Contribution Points; you can also trade with other equivalent items. Of course, if multiple people are trading for one item, it goes to whoever offers more." 0
 
"Only students ranked in the top one hundred on the Inner Courtyard Rankings can participate in the trading fair; those ranked lower and Outer Academy Students are not qualified. As for Core Students, they do not come here to trade. However, it is not uncommon for top one hundred Inner Academy Students to come to trade on behalf of Core Students." 0
 
"During the trading fair, only verbal negotiations are allowed; anyone who dares to resort to violence will be seen as disrespecting the academy's authority. The lightest punishment is having their cultivation abolished and being expelled from the academy; in severe cases, they may be killed on site!" 0
 
As they walked along, Snow Qincheng continuously shared information about the trading fair with Aotian. 0
 
Aotian nodded occasionally while listening but was firmly determined to acquire Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower. 0
 
Since He Dan mentioned that Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower could serve as an ingredient for refining a pill that would help him break through his cultivation level, it certainly wouldn't be without merit. 0
 
Currently, Aotian was most anxious about his cultivation level. Now that he had a method to break through, he would not give up no matter what. 0
 
As Aotian and Snow Qincheng chatted while walking, they soon arrived at the center of Trading Hall. 0
 
At its center stood a massive hall entirely golden in color, exuding an air of imperial grandeur. 0
 
 
Upon seeing the Golden Hall, Aotian couldn't help but momentarily lose his focus. However, he was already aware of the wealth and extravagance of Xuantian Academy, so he quickly regained his composure. 0
 
"The trading fair is being held inside. Let's go in," Snow Qincheng said softly to Aotian. She then headed towards the golden hall. 0
 
Aotian was slightly taken aback, but then he stepped forward and took Snow Qincheng's delicate hand, walking together towards the entrance of the hall. 0
 
As Snow Qincheng felt Aotian's strong grip around her hand, a faint blush appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled with sweetness. 0
 
As soon as they stepped into the Golden Hall, Aotian was stunned by the sight before him. The hall was adorned in resplendent gold and jade, resembling a royal palace. 0
 
Inside the hall, there were sparsely arranged chairs made of jade, all occupied by figures who were whispering to one another. 0
 
There weren't many people in the hall, only about a hundred. However, this was normal since those attending the trading fair were among the top one hundred powerful individuals from the Inner Academy. 0
 
Aotian and Snow Qincheng found a relatively quiet spot to sit down and quietly waited for the trading fair to begin. 0
 
Not long after, a melodious bell rang out slowly. 0
 
Upon hearing the bell, all the students immediately fell silent, eagerly gazing at the spacious area ahead. 0
 
Then, a robust middle-aged man walked in through the main entrance of the hall and slowly approached the open space in front of the students. 0
 
When Aotian saw the burly middle-aged man, he was momentarily taken aback and then smiled wryly: 0
 
"I didn't expect it to be the Second Guardian hosting this trading fair." 0
 
Indeed, this robust middle-aged man was Kong Qiu, the Second Guardian of Xuantian Academy. 0
 
Kong Qiu had evidently noticed Aotian and Snow Qincheng as well; he smiled slightly in their direction as a greeting. 0
 
Then, Kong Qiu announced loudly: 0
 
"The annual trading fair has arrived once again. I believe everyone is familiar with the rules of trading by now, so I won't reiterate them. Now, let the trading begin!" 0
 
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Qiu waved his Storage Ring. Instantly, dozens of items appeared in the spacious area around him. 0
 
Among these items were weapons, elixirs, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, martial arts techniques, and various other precious items. 0
 
 
"These dozens of items are all that will be traded at this exchange. You may begin trading now," Kong Qiu said, closing his eyes, appearing indifferent to the proceedings. 0
 
Aotian's gaze slowly swept over the items before settling on a peculiar flower on the far right. 0
 
This flower was unlike ordinary flowers; it was surrounded by lush green leaves, and more remarkably, it had a strange ghostly face in its center, exuding an eerie aura that made it seem quite mysterious. 0
 
Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower! 0
 
According to He Dan, Aotian knew that this bizarre flower was the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower. 0
 
"I'll trade a mid-grade martial arts technique for this Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower," Aotian said as he slowly stood up, speaking with an imposing presence. 0
 
The Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower was used as a medicinal catalyst and did not possess any extraordinary effects on its own. 0
 
Using the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower as a catalyst for alchemy still carried the risk of failure. If the attempt failed, then the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower would be wasted. 0
 
Thus, Aotian's offer of a mid-grade martial arts technique for the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower was more than sufficient... 0
