The so-called Seven-Colored Origin Stone was a kind of mutated spiritual stone, one that shared a deep connection with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
It was said that only at the place where a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had fallen could such stones occasionally be found.
Once the Seven-Colored Origin Stone absorbed the blood essence of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, it would generate a unique kind of energy. That energy was an incredible tonic — a true treasure for any member of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan.
"Hey, this thing should be helpful for your wife, right?" Wei Yang softly reminded.
"Yeah." Xiao Yan slowly nodded, then stepped forward and glanced toward the back of the stone platform.
There, an old man with a gaunt face was sitting cross-legged, looking lifeless and disinterested. He didn't even bother greeting the three when they stopped in front of his stall.
"This old sir, how can we trade for this Seven-Colored Origin Stone?" Xiao Yan asked with a casual smile.
Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, the old man slowly lifted his eyelids and lazily said, "Two three-colored Tier 8 pills or higher."
"Seems a little expensive." Xiao Yan rubbed the Seven-Colored Origin Stone in his palm as he spoke.
Wei Yang and Yao Lao both frowned slightly. This item was indeed rare, but not that rare. Its main issue was its limited use — only valuable to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan. For anyone else, it was practically useless.
As for that clan, aside from other regions, at least in Central Plains, there seemed to be only one known individual — Medusa. So while the item was precious, its actual value was limited restricted by its narrow function.
Compared to two three-colored Tier 8 pills, it clearly wasn't worth it. Wei Yang and Yao Lao didn't interfere, standing quietly nearby with faint smiles, watching Xiao Yan and the old man bargain.
"Too expensive? Then don't trade." The gaunt old man was rather bold, rolling his eyes without the slightest hint of fear in his tone.
Clearly, he knew well that for those who didn't need it, this Seven-Colored Origin Stone was useless — most people wouldn't even bother asking about it. But for someone who did need it, it was worth this price!
Xiao Yan could only smile helplessly, keeping his patience as he continued negotiating with the old man. Wei Yang watched for a while, recalling what he knew about the Seven-Colored Origin Stone.
His expression didn't change, but he quietly sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yan: "Buy it."
Hearing Wei Yang's voice, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He knew that if Wei Yang said so, there had to be a reason. Still, even after the reminder, Xiao Yan didn't immediately change his tone. He kept bargaining with the old man for quite some time.
Finally, when the old man began showing impatience, Xiao Yan sighed as though heartbroken and reluctantly took out two jade bottles, handing them over in exchange for the Seven-Colored Origin Stone.
After the deal was done, the three quickly left. The old man, left sitting behind the stall, stared in mild surprise. He hadn't expected that something so useless to him could actually fetch two three-colored Tier 8 pills. He had even been considering lowering the price earlier.
As the trio walked along the street and turned a corner, putting enough distance between themselves and the stall, they finally stopped. Xiao Yan held up the Seven-Colored Origin Stone, inspecting it closely before tossing it to Wei Yang.
"Brother Wei, is there something wrong with this thing?" he asked curiously.
Yao Lao also stared at the stone, yet couldn't find anything unusual about it either. Wei Yang studied it carefully but couldn't discern anything out of the ordinary. After all, he wasn't Medusa and didn't possess the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Shaking his head, he handed the stone back and said, "I can't say for sure. It was just a sudden hunch — something about this stone doesn't seem simple. Take it back and give it to Medusa. Maybe she'll notice something different."
"Oh." Xiao Yan shrugged after hearing that, taking the Seven-Colored Stone back and putting it away.
Even if he lost out on this deal, at most, it was just two three-colored Tier 8 pills — not really a big deal. Besides, even if the stone turned out to be nothing special, it was still a genuine Seven-Colored Origin Stone. In that case, the loss wasn't too heavy.
Who knew — maybe there would be a pleasant surprise?
After all, gut feelings like that were strange things, sometimes meaningful, never truly baseless. After this little episode, the trio had already seen enough of Space Town's bustling markets, and there was no need to continue wandering around.
"Let's go. The time should be about right. I'll take you both to see the real treasures — what we actually came here for is there."
As Yao Lao waved his hand, he started walking toward the end of the street. Wei Yang and Xiao Yan followed, both with faint looks of anticipation in their eyes.
The real trading event, huh?
As they walked, Wei Yang glanced sideways at Xiao Yan with a faint smile.
Brat, you're going to owe me a big favor again.
That "Seven-Colored" Origin Stone wasn't seven-colored at all — it was nine-colored!
Its value was beyond imagination, impossible to measure. Especially for Medusa, the Heaven Swallowing Python, it was invaluable. According to the records...
Most people only knew that Seven-Colored Origin Stones could appear where a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had died. But they didn't know that if over a hundred of those pythons perished at the same location —
Then there was a chance an Eight-Colored, or even a Nine-Colored Origin Stone could be born. However, such a thing was virtually impossible.
After all, for over a hundred Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons to die in one place, with their bodies left intact not removed or destroyed, but buried together that was nearly unimaginable.
So, ordinary people only ever knew of the Seven-Colored Origin Stone, never realizing that beyond it existed even higher levels — Eight-Colored, and Nine-Colored.
Among the Heaven Swallowing Python clan, the true pinnacle of bloodline purity was the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Within that entire clan, only their ancestral progenitor — the first of the Heaven Swallowing Pythons — had ever reached that level.
As for this "Seven-Colored" Origin Stone, only by letting a Heaven Swallowing Python's blood fall upon it could its true nature be revealed. Otherwise, it would look like an ordinary Seven-Colored Origin Stone to anyone else.
Space Town wasn't large — only a few intersecting ancient streets formed its layout. Still, the number of people within was considerable, and every one of them carried powerful auras.
If they were outside, each of these people would be a master — someone who could establish a sect or be revered as a patriarch. Yet here, they were like passersby, utterly unremarkable.
Wei Yang and his two companions walked through several ancient streets, paying no attention to the dazzling goods on either side. They went straight toward their destination.
Finally, they stopped at the very end of one street.
This area was clearly the outskirts of Space Town — quieter and emptier, lacking the noise and crowds of the earlier streets. Before them stood an ancient pavilion, emanating an air of timelessness, as though it had stood there for countless years.
Its weathered aura seemed eternal, stretching across ages long forgotten. Outside the pavilion stood two elderly men in gray robes, their faces expressionless. They stood as still as statues, yet faint waves of immense energy pulsed from their bodies.
That made Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both raise their brows in surprise. These were merely gatekeepers — yet their strength had reached the level of a Six-Star Dou Zun!
Experts of this caliber would be honored guests anywhere else. Here, they were just guards. It was clear — this space trading event was of an extraordinarily high level.
