Chapter 702: Chapter 699: Exchange Meeting between Two Counties!_1
Now that he had Li Ruoxiang’s essence blood in his hands, Yang Chen went straight back to his residence and called out the Mermaid girls from the Eight Extremes River Space.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
The moment these mermaid girls saw Yang Chen, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
Yang Chen looked at these mermaid girls and kindly said, “Alright, I have already obtained Li Ruoxiang’s essence blood. This is my essence blood, and I’ll need your help to unlock the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate.”
“Young Master, it’s no trouble at all. Just leave it all to us!” The mermaid girls happily took the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate and said.
Without saying anything more, Yang Chen let the mermaid girls work on unlocking the prohibition on the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate while he used this time to cultivate.
About three days later, a loud rumble suddenly woke Yang Chen from his cultivation state.
Yang Chen abruptly opened his eyes wide and saw that the mermaid girls were already neatly standing in front of him.
“What’s going on?” Yang Chen asked.
These mermaid girls said joyfully, “Young Master, the prohibition has been lifted, look!”
As they spoke, they took out the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate.
Yang Chen looked at the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, blinked, and slightly smiled, “Good, well done!”
He noticed that the essence blood on the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate had completely vanished.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but control the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate to feel the connection between him and Li Ruoxiang, finding that the limitation had disappeared without a trace.
“Good job!” Yang Chen revealed a smile.
“Young Master, for matters related to prohibition, just leave it to us; we guarantee that everything will be handled perfectly.” The mermaid girls assured him, patting their chests.
Yang Chen showed a gentle smile, “No problem!”
Since the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate had been unlocked, it was time to return it to Li Ruoxiang.
As Yang Chen made up his mind, he got up and made his way to Li Ruoxiang’s place with ease.
Upon arriving, he called out, “Sect Leader Li!”
Li Ruoxiang’s door slowly opened, and she looked at Yang Chen with questioning eyes. “What are you doing here…”
Before she could finish her question, Li Ruoxiang suddenly noticed something.
She realized that the master-servant limitation between her and Yang Chen had disappeared.
“Huh?”
Li Ruoxiang exclaimed in shock, “You really unlocked the limitation on the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate.”
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Sect Leader Li, I, Yang Chen, always keep my word. Since I said I would unlock the limitation on the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, I would definitely do it. Now, it is time to return the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate to its rightful owner.”
Having said that, Yang Chen handed the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate to Li Ruoxiang.
After receiving the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, Li Ruoxiang’s eyebrows furrowed. Logically, she should be happy to get it back, but she felt a bit of loss upon receiving it.
She wasn’t sure what caused this feeling, and her expression did not change as she asked, “Yang Chen, now that the master-servant limitation has been lifted, what do you plan to do next?”
Yang Chen clearly understood Li Ruoxiang’s meaning.
With the master-servant limitation lifted, she would no longer have any control over where he went next.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Chen bowed and said, “I plan to stay in the Green Lotus Sect for a little while longer, but not too long. At most, I will leave in half a month.”
His goal was to reach the Half-step True Martial Realm, gain the ability to protect himself, and then return to Northern Mountain County. The journey was long, and it would take him quite some time to travel back to Northern Mountain County alone. On his way, he would naturally try to find ways to increase his strength even further.
“So soon?” Li Ruoxiang muttered under her breath.
“What did Sect Leader Li say?” Yang Chen didn’t hear her clearly.
“Oh, nothing!” Li Ruoxiang quickly corrected herself. “Speaking of which, there will be an exchange event between the two counties in half a month. I wonder if you’re interested in participating. Perhaps you could find something you want there?”
“What is this exchange event about?” Yang Chen asked.
Li Ruoxiang explained, “It’s a custom between our Haohai County and the Western 42 Regions, Wood Dragon County. Although there may not be many rare and precious things in the eastern 36 Regions, we may have what they don’t and vice versa. Since the two counties are close to each other, there’s an exchange event held every year. At the exchange event, everyone brings out some treasures for exchange.”
“Really? Such an event exists?” Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“Would you like to participate?” Li Ruoxiang asked.
“Of course.” Without any hesitation, Yang Chen promised.
What he was currently lacking was strength, and although he might not find something he was particularly interested in at the exchange event, it was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to miss.
“Alright, then in five days, go with the Green Lotus Sect disciples who will be traveling to the event,” Li Ruoxiang coldly said, not bothering to engage in any further pleasantries with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen immediately began preparing for the exchange event. After all, how could he go unprepared?
There was a difference between an exchange event and an auction event. In an exchange event, people seldom sold items directly; instead, they exchanged one item for another. Bringing a pile of spirit stones wouldn’t showcase your wealth; it would only make others see you as someone with no taste. At the exchange event, you had to be well-prepared with all sorts of items since an item you didn’t need might be exchanged for something you greatly desired.
Therefore, Yang Chen spent all his spirit stones and exchanged them for materials!
After getting all the materials, Yang Chen focused on alchemy and made dozens of different kinds of elixirs. He prepared everything from Rank 5 Elixirs to Grade 7 Elixirs.
When Yang Chen was nearly finished with his preparations, the five-day mark arrived, and the Green Lotus Sect began their journey.
Yang Chen and Li Ruoxiang joined the Green Lotus Sect disciples and set off together.
“Sect Leader Li, what are the rules for this exchange event?” Yang Chen asked curiously.
“There are no specific rules. It’s just a street where everyone can exchange their items freely. A dozen or so forces maintain order to ensure that everyone can display their treasures without fear of being robbed. However, most of the exchanges are between martial artists of the same level. Origin Martial Realm martial artists exchange items with other Origin Martial Realm martial artists, and True Martial Realm martial artists exchange items with other True Martial Realm martial artists,” Li Ruoxiang explained.
Yang Chen frowned, “So there’s no exception?”
His concern wasn’t that he looked down on Origin Martial Realm martial artists. But the higher the martial artist’s level, the more likely it was for him to exchange items.
Li Ruoxiang could tell what Yang Chen was thinking and slowly said, “The reason for exchanging items among martial artists of the same level is due to the economic differences between low-level and high-level martial artists. If you want to participate in the high-level martial artists’ exchange event, you can, but there are two steps!”
