Chapter 7: Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant
After observing for a moment, with the sound of empty pockets ringing, Yang Tian gradually lost his composure. Just as he was about to leave, the ancestral dragon ring, which had been silent within him, suddenly trembled.
Most of them are adventurers and mercenaries, and they are required to pay certain taxes when procuring and trading goods. Naturally, these taxes end up in the hands of the lord of Kuangyun City. Although they have some grievances, they do not dare to voice any complaints in the face of such a colossal entity as Kuangyun City
Amidst the astonished gazes of the surrounding crowd, Yang Tian plunged alone into the Beast Mountain Range
"This won't do; this is the heirloom of my family. Just look at how beautiful the color of this jade pendant is..." The old man, seeing Yang Lin about to leave, hurriedly said: "Alright, let's do it your way."
At this moment, the dragon-shaped jade pendant, desperately absorbing vital energy, suddenly began to rotate in mid-air
"Damn it, stop!" With a low growl, Yang Tian desperately suppressed the blood and energy flowing out of his body, but the pulling force grew stronger, and waves of pain surged from his energy sea.
With a solemn expression, Yang Tian gazed at the dragon-shaped jade pendant, channeling a trace of his vital energy into the pendant.
Is there something nearby that attracts it? The pupils suddenly constricted, and an inexplicable thought quietly crept into his mind. Immediately, Yang Tian calmed himself and began to walk around. As he approached a certain stall, the vibration of the Ancestor Dragon Ring grew increasingly intense.
As Yang Tian's complexion grew increasingly pale, the eerie red glow of the dragon-shaped jade pendant intensified.
The entire market consists of only two streets, with dozens of houses lining both sides. The buildings vary in height, yet their exteriors are remarkably vibrant
Uh... the young man truly has keen eyesight. The old man, with a rather thick skin, showed no change in expression even after being exposed, and immediately extended four fingers.
Tsk tsk, the young man has a keen eye; this fur is indeed made from top-quality leather. Just look at this luster; it was taken from a high-tier ferocious beast and can be crafted into a defensive treasure
The old man seemed invigorated, his words flowing like blooming lotus flowers, incessantly praising as if he were about to declare that there was but one such thing in heaven and earth.
... ... ''
"How much is this red wolf leather? From its hardness, it should be a first-tier triple heaven beast, right?" Rolling his eyes, Yang Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
Yang Tian shook his head, picked up the dragon-shaped jade pendant from the stall, and said lightly: "hetushu.com. At most, two pieces of bloodstone plus this jade pendant. If you don't sell it, I will leave."
In the forest, enveloped by the vitality beneath his feet, Yang Tian's rapid strides suddenly came to a halt. He leaped into the nearby thicket like a monkey, his frail body completely vanishing into the mountains and woods
At that moment, several shadowy figures stealthily followed shortly after Yang Tian had left, and the expressions of regret on the faces of the surrounding mercenaries deepened even further
In the small town, the only city gate leading to the Beast Mountain Range was exceptionally lively, with groups of mercenary organizations setting out towards the Beast Mountain Range. The Beast Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, and having one more person means one more layer of protection
He turned his palm, and the blood-red jade pendant appeared before his eyes, emitting a strange red glow under the refraction of sunlight
Tsk tsk, this kid really isn't afraid of death
What on earth is this? After observing for a moment, Yang Tian said in disbelief. He examined a faint aura from the jade pendant, and although this subtle aura was rare, it revealed a sense of domineering intent.
This young man seems to have taken a liking to something; feel free to choose. All of my items are rare treasures. These furs and book covers were all taken from high-level ferocious beasts. Just look at this color...
Sing
Inside, there are countless low-level ferocious beasts, and swamps are everywhere, fraught with danger. Countless venomous insects and ants are entrenched within, posing a constant threat to life.
This is also a land stained with blood, and the most terrifying aspect is not the beasts, but the humans themselves
"There is hope." Upon seeing the dragon-shaped jade pendant fully absorb the energy, a faint blood light appeared on its surface. Yang Tian's face was filled with joy as the rich vital energy surged wildly into his body.
What is happening? Yang Tian's mind was shaken as he looked at the Zulong Ring, which had returned to its normal state. After a moment, as Yang Tian took a step forward, the Zulong Ring trembled in response.
Gazing at the fierce beast's fur, Yang Tian cast a subtle glance at the dragon-shaped jade pendant. This pendant was blood-red in color, its exterior exceedingly magnificent, yet it emitted no energy fluctuations whatsoever
What is this strange thing? Shaken by the thought, Yang Tian's face turned slightly pale, and with a racing heart, he glanced at the dragon-shaped jade pendant. He could vaguely sense a stir deep within his bloodline.
In the middle of the street, various stalls of different sizes are set up, displaying a wide array of items, each marked with either exchange terms or prices. The stalls stand in rows, stretching out of sight, and the densely packed crowd is even more overwhelming. It is evident that the market holds significant importance for cultivators.
His gaze fell upon the stall owner, an elderly man in his fifties who sat listlessly in a chair. Yang Tian's eyes shifted, noticing some fierce beast furs and inner elixirs on the stall, but what attracted the Zulong Ring was a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
Beneath the wide-open city gates, a group of fearsome guards stared at the passing crowd, each wearing a badge on their chests inscribed with the words "Furious Cloud." This place was a mix of various characters, with many martial artists of different ranks, and its overall strength was several times greater than that of Qingshi Town.
Only rely on you. Yang Tian's mind was immersed in the Ancestor Dragon Ring, with thoughts being transmitted rapidly.
The transaction was completed, and Yang Tian's tense mind relaxed. If that old man did not trade, he would have to risk buying something utterly useless. Glancing at the road, Yang Tian headed towards the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
One mile outside the Beastly Mountain Forest, on a tree large enough for several people to embrace, Yang Tian, having fully restored his internal vitality, leaped down directly
The Ancestor Dragon Ring suddenly moved, standing tall in the center of the sea of consciousness, exuding an unparalleled and domineering aura that forcefully suppressed Yang Tian's energy sea
Calm down, calm down. The mind is racing. If the dragon-shaped jade pendant continues to absorb like this, then a year's hard work will be in vain
However, this has prompted countless individuals to rush in, as the resources within are inexhaustible, capable of driving one to madness, whether it be hunting ferocious beasts or gathering spiritual herbs. Only with a strong foundation can one step into higher realms, which is also the harsh reality of the cultivation world
Yang Tian picked up a red fur from the stall, and before he could say anything, a flurry of compliments erupted.
"Looking at him, he must have just come of age; truly unaware of the vastness of the world." A group of mercenaries shook their heads helplessly, as if they had witnessed Yang Tian meeting his demise at the jaws of a ferocious beast
"Tsk tsk, not even reaching the fifth level of blood refinement, yet claiming it to be the fur of a high-level ferocious beast." As he observed the vendor's appearance, which resembled that of a butcher preparing to slaughter a fat sheep, Yang Tian's lips twitched slightly, and he silently cursed.
A handsome young man walked briskly, attracting the attention of many. Several individuals walking alone attempted to recruit Yang Tian, but he politely declined their offers.
This was also the first time Yang Tian had come to the market, and his gaze swept over the surrounding stalls, where various elixirs, martial arts techniques, and refining materials dazzled him.
As time passed, the blood light on the dragon-shaped jade pendant shone brightly, until Yang Tian sensed a feeling of exhaustion and hurriedly stopped his output, only to find that the vital energy within him surged uncontrollably inward
