"Alright, I won't waste any more words. I'm sure everyone here has at least heard of the name Earth-Splitting Two Fiends. Over the years, we, as husband and wife, have sold countless high-grade items, and not once have we ever dealt in fakes, so there's no need to worry."
"If any master here wants it, then make your offer quickly. Otherwise, if you miss this chance, there won't be another shop like ours in this village!"
Lin Feng had just slightly opened his mouth, ready to respond to Tian Huo Zun Zhe, when a loud hawking cry suddenly rang out from somewhere not far ahead on their right.
And when Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian heard the name of that medicinal material—in an instant, the two of them almost turned their heads at the exact same time, their gazes locking on the direction from which the voice came.
They soon saw that not far from them, a certain vendor stall was now surrounded by a tightly packed crowd of people.
Most of these people possessed soul power far stronger than that of ordinary folk.Judging by that, they should be alchemists.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Lin Feng then pulled Xiao Yixian along, waved at the man beside him, and headed toward the gathering.
After squeezing past some of the people in front, he finally saw—in the middle of the crowd, a man and a woman—two elderly figures—stood against the wall.
And in the space around them, there were faint distortions in the air.
Their strength was likely no weaker than that of Old Chan Chu.
"This Western Desolate Region really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers… even at a small street stall, you can run into not one, but two Nine-Star Dou Zong powerhouses."
Sensing the aura emanating from the pair, Lin Feng couldn't help but click his tongue in private.
From the way that male elder had dared to speak so boldly just now, it was clear these two had no small reputation within this city.
He then shifted his gaze back to the two.
The male elder, looking to be around fifty, stood in front of the two. Before him was a small redwood table. And on that table sat a finely made cold jade box.
Inside the jade box lay a medicinal ingredient—completely dark in color, looking much like a lump of black earthen clay.
Sensing the soul fluctuation emanating from within that black potato-like fruit,
Lin Feng clicked his tongue again, secretly muttering in his heart: "That really is a Soul Spirit Fruit… they actually dare to bring one out for sale. People in Western Desolate Region really do value money over their lives."
The Soul Spirit Fruit was something born only from certain magic beasts with unique talents, after they reached the peak of the Rank 7.
They would use the special inheritance within their bloodline to seek out a peculiar seed and plant it.
After that, they would use the fresh blood and flesh of living beings to nourish it, aiding the vines in their growth.
Once the vine had absorbed enough blood and flesh, it would bear a single fruit—known as the Soul Spirit Fruit.
This fruit possessed the miraculous effect of enhancing soul power. Thus, once the magic beast that cultivated it advanced to the Rank 8, it would swallow the fruit.
After doing so, the beast would gain immense benefits—its soul power could, in an extremely short time, break through to the level of a sixth-tier alchemist, or even a seventh-tier alchemist!
Beside Lin Feng, Xiao Yixian, upon seeing the seemingly ordinary black lump, felt her eyes instantly light up with excitement.
Although she was currently cultivating that High-Grade Yellow Class soul cultivation technique, she was still some distance away from reaching the soul realm of a mid seventh-tier.
If she could obtain this Soul Spirit Fruit, then she would be much closer to becoming a sixth-tier alchemist.
Immediately, Xiao Yixian rubbed her slender finger in Lin Feng's palm, hinting for him to buy it.
And the latter also nodded, indicating he understood, "I'll offer one Mid-Grade Earth Class thunder-attributed Dou Technique!"
The moment the previous speaker's words fell, an old man with a face full of wrinkles immediately stepped forward and shouted out his bid.
As for the stall owner, upon hearing that offer, he only gave a slight smile without saying anything.
He knew very well that such a low-level bid would quickly be beaten down by the crowd around them.
"You deaf old coot, you want to trade that little thing for a Soul Spirit Fruit? Go back home and drink your mother's milk, don't embarrass yourself here. I'll offer a complete set of Mid-Grade Earth Class fire-attributed cultivation technique and Dou Technique. The two complement each other — worth more than an High-Grade Earth Class!"
Sure enough, just as the stall owner had expected, right after the first offer, a hot-tempered fat man immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
"Haha…"
Once the fat man finished speaking, laughter rippled through the surrounding crowd.
"You little brats actually dare to mock me, a three-hundred-year-old cultivator? Just you wait!"
Hearing the laughter, the old man spat out a threat, then stomped his foot and quickly scurried away.
Although he had once killed the sect leader's son and fled here, and although, with the help of resources, his strength had risen by two stars to reach Three-Star Dou Zong,
Compared to that fat man who possessed high-level Dou Zong strength, he was still far behind.
Thus, the old man wisely chose to withdraw.
"I'll offer a seventh-tier high-grade Wind Escape Speed Pill, which can greatly increase one's speed, in exchange for the Soul Spirit Fruit."
After the commotion faded, a hunchbacked old man wearing a low seventh-tier badge from the Pill Tower suddenly spoke.
Even though most people in the crowd were experienced and knowledgeable, upon hearing this offer, they still couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Although the Soul Spirit Fruit was extremely rare on the market due to the strength of the magic beasts that guarded it,
It was, after all, most beneficial to sixth-tier alchemists.
For a low seventh-tier alchemist, although consuming it could still enhance soul power, hoping to use it to break through to mid seventh-tier was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Therefore, when they saw this hunchbacked elder actually offering a high-grade seventh-tier pill in exchange, they could only sigh inwardly: "This man is truly generous!"
The fat man frowned at this and promptly chose to give up.
Lin Feng also frowned slightly at the scene before him.
He hadn't expected someone to suddenly raise the price to such a level.
But after a moment of silence, he still felt that buying the Soul Spirit Fruit outright would be the better option.
After all, trying to seize it later would involve far too many uncertainties.
He then spoke: "I'll offer a Yuan Boosting Pill in exchange for the Soul Spirit Fruit!"
The moment Lin Feng's words left his mouth, the eyes of the surrounding crowd instantly filled with greed.
This Yuan Boosting Pill, although of the same grade as the Wind Escape Speed Pill, was far more coveted for its ability to help a Dou Zong expert break through by one star.
Even high-level Dou Zong, upon consuming it, had a chance of advancing by one star, saving themselves decades of hard cultivation.
It was precisely because of this temptation that several Dou Zong in the crowd now stared fixedly at Lin Feng without moving.
If not for the last shred of reason telling them that no one could make a move here, they would have already rushed forward to snatch it.
After all, with just one Yuan Boosting Pill, they could gain a star for free — which Dou Zong wouldn't want that?
