"Rao Family!"
Gou Ziqi frowned, his face slightly gloomy, "This is a Martial Dao Clan from Jiangzhou Province, and it has produced many alchemy geniuses. It could be considered a family of alchemists with a deep foundation. However, I have found out that they seemed to have some kind of relationship with Cao Family in the past. "
Lee Yifann raised his brows as if he had understood something," No wonder they are interested in that batch of Demonic Beast Soul. I'm afraid that they are interested in some secrets of Cao Family, right? "
" Secret? "
Gou Ziqi was startled. He had also thought of some things after being reminded. "It seems like the overall strength of the Cao Family was a little too strong when they were besieging the Cao Family. There were more than five Heavenly Masters, and two of them were Spiritual Master. If it wasn't for Instructor You and the others, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to take care of the Cao Family. Logically speaking, an unknown family like the Cao Family shouldn't have so many powerful warriors. It wasn't like a family with several hundred years of history in the Inheritance. Their foundation was just like that. Therefore, I suspect that the Cao Family has a special secret. When I think about the Qiao Family's actions... I think it might have something to do with the Demonic Beast Soul."
This speculation was reasonable.
Lee Yifann also pondered, "The few people from the Cao Family that I killed before were all interested in the Devil Spirit. After checking, they had all cultivated the Devil Arts. However, those Devil Arts weren't as strong as Taoist Tu Su's. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the Cao Family to produce so many Heavenly Masters. Moreover, most warriors didn't know how to use the Demonic Beast Soul, and even if they knew how to use it, they might not be able to use it. The Cao Family mainly focused on studying the Mechanical Puppet technique. They normally wouldn't be able to use the Demonic Beast Soul."
With this deduction, the secrets of the Cao Family might really be related to the Demonic Beast Soul.
Lee Wenyan had told him before that some of the Demonic Beast Soul were extraordinarily weak, and there were even some of them at the Minor Demon level.
Lee Yifann had every reason to suspect that there were even weaker Demonic Beast Soul.
Generally speaking, only when a demon beast reached the Great Demon level and died would there be a possibility of the Soul Body being left behind.
But now, this batch of Demonic Beast Soul from the Cao Family had gone against common sense. No matter how one looked at it, there was something wrong with it.
"I guess the strength of the people from the Cao Family is so great. They should have a special cultivation method to use the Demonic Beast Soul. Perhaps there is some kind of connection between them and the Devil Spirit." Gou Ziqi said in a deep voice.
"En, the possibility is not small." Lee Yifann nodded, "Let's go to the destination first."
The venue was in an ancient town in Peiling City. Some ancient families lived in seclusion here, living a relatively traditional life.
Qiao Family was considered a famous family in this generation. However, Qiao Family usually kept a low profile and did not reveal their true identity. There were not many people in the mortal world who knew that they were from the Martial Dao Aristocratic Family and the Pill Master Association.
Apart from that, because the Qiao Family was the manager of the Pill Master Association's branch, they were the ones who presided over the alchemy competition in the region of Peiling every year. Over time, a large number of medicinal herbs merchants had gathered in the ancient town, which was centered around the Qiao Family. And... There were auction houses, trading places, and even schools for alchemists.
Of course, compared to the Pill Master Association in World of Martial Dao, it was considered a small matter. However, in this secular world, it could be considered a grand event.
The sky at the end of July was scorching hot. The place was filled with greenery, but there were quite a number of tourists in the ancient town.
In addition, the alchemy competition was being held. Not to mention the people from all over the country, but at least the people from the nearby cities. All of them had come to join in the fun. Among them were the people from the Profound Doctor Company. The Profound Doctor Company needed a large amount of spiritual herbs and herbs. It was very likely that they would encounter good things in such a place. Naturally, they wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"Young Master Lee, this is the place!" Gou Ziqi led the way.
Lee Yifann observed his surroundings and walked along the small paths of the ancient town. He looked at the old buildings and felt a little surprised. Because he could feel that there were many powerful auras in the ancient town.
It seemed that there were quite a number of experts here today.
After walking for a while, the two of them passed through the streets of the town and arrived at a densely packed corridor.
"Young Master Lee, the venue for tonight's alchemy competition is right in front of us. The market here is filled with both good and bad people, and the things sold here are both real and fake. Young Master Lee, do you want to try your luck? " Gou Ziqi asked.
"Since you are already here, why don't you try your luck?" Lee Yifann was very confident in his judgment.
"Alright." Gou Ziqi nodded, then led him to a corner of the market. It was still early, so he might be able to pick up some scraps.
...
"Hundred Year Snow Lotus! Top quality goods are hard to come by!"
"Selling Millenary Ginseng, a Millenary Ginseng dug out from deep within the mountains, a valuable spirit medicine, please don't miss it!"
"Pui! You old fellow Mo Jie actually dare to slander my spirit medicine, saying that my spirit medicine is fake? If you don't know what's good for you then hurry up and scram, don't disturb my business!"
"One jin of purple gold sand, forging materials. If you know what's good for you, don't miss it."
In the market, there were endless shouts.
There were some small merchants and hawkers all over the place who wanted to set up stalls and shout to attract customers. These vendors looked ordinary, but the things they sold... They were not ordinary goods at the roadside stalls at all. They were either Millenary Ginseng. Or expensive crafting materials like antiques and jades are rare.
These people came from all over the world. Of course, there were also some professional vendors, Master Dao.
Just like other auction houses, there were also fish and dragons mixed in here.
The things that were being sold by the small vendors were all frightening to look at. However, many of them were fake, and it was hard to tell if they were real or fake. There were often people who were at a disadvantage in this aspect.
Of course, the buyers were not all spendthrifts. Some people relied on their eyesight to distinguish the counterfeits. In the end, they naturally had an argument with the stall owner. Occasionally, there would also be cases of people dying in a fight between the two parties. However, the organizer didn't really care about these matters.
To these people, selling counterfeits was already too much. They deserved to be beaten to death.
Secondly, it was very normal to seek revenge among martial artists. Ordinary laws could not restrict them at all. The organizer did not want to meddle in other people's business, so he chose to turn a blind eye.
It was worth mentioning that the marketplace also had a distinction.
For example, most of the things sold in the markets outside were fakes. Furthermore, it was very difficult to find good items. There was also an internal market, which was equivalent to a private trading place. The people who traded inside were all people with great backgrounds, and they were always able to bring out shocking treasures.
However, the internal market required a certain amount of authority, and not everyone could enter.
At this moment, in a corner to the south of the market, many people were gathered in front of a stall owner.
Everyone was talking at the same time, scrambling to take out their items in an attempt to exchange for a treasure in the stall owner's hands. However, the stall owner did not seem to be interested in the item that they were taking out. He had always been cold and indifferent.
No matter what everyone said, he remained unmoved, causing some people to become restless.
