Chapter 75: Xianyuan Assembly
Looking at the dilapidated Fengxi Sect and the people who had vanished, what on earth was going on? Could it be that the Fengxi Sect had provoked that Senior?
News of the Fengxi Sect being wiped out spread throughout the nearby areas, but everyone just treated it as gossip and didn't take it to heart; they didn't realize the severity of the situation.
At this moment, Su Yu was drinking tea in the courtyard when someone came to find him.
"It's Brother Yu. Come, just in time for some tea."
The person who arrived was an Elder from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department; the two were acquaintances and had a decent friendship.
Yu Liang set down the teacup in his hand.
"Brother Su, there's a Xianyuan Assembly in two days. Are you going?"
"The people there are Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators from all corners of the land. Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage from every major Sect and Loose Cultivators basically won't miss this Xianyuan Assembly."
"This assembly is rarely held. At this Xianyuan Assembly, you can buy all sorts of things—items that are usually hard to come by, or strange and exotic things. I've heard that quite a few people manage to pick up rare bargains at the Xianyuan Assembly."
"After all, people from every part of the Southern Region come here, so there are countless treasures."
"The treasures bought aren't the main point; the core of this Xianyuan Assembly is the exchange gathering, where they use treasures they don't need or can't identify to trade for the resources they want."
"This is also the reason why most people come to this assembly."
"Most of the Foundation Establishment Stage members of our Sect are already on their way."
"Brother Su, you can take this opportunity to go and exchange for some useful treasures, and just trade away those things you don't need."
Su Yu listened.
"The Xianyuan Assembly? Alright, Brother Yu. I'll go with you in a moment to take a look and see if there's anything I can use. It just so happens I also have some things I don't need."
Although he didn't really need to go to this Foundation Establishment Stage Xianyuan Assembly to exchange for anything—even if given items, he wouldn't use them—but, who told him to be a Foundation Establishment Stage Passerby.
This kind of thing couldn't be refused; as a Passerby, he definitely had to go. He just needed to join in the fun like an ordinary person, and that would be enough.
He would just trade for some random items; he didn't expect to find any rare bargains. Since someone had invited him to go together, he would just treat it as an outing.
After speaking, the two set off together. After traveling non-stop, they arrived at the site one day before the Xianyuan Assembly.
Xianyuan City was a city specifically prepared for the Xianyuan Assembly. This Xianyuan City was very large and could accommodate many people.
Inside, it was full of stalls and many pavilions; those pavilions were for Cultivators to exchange items.
"Brother Su, the Xianyuan Assembly starts tomorrow. Let's find an Inn to rest and recuperate first."
Arriving at the Inn, Su Yu and his companion sat at a wine table. Looking at the hall filled with people, it really was the Xianyuan Assembly; it was truly lively.
Indeed, people from different regions of the Southern Region could basically be seen here, and there were quite a few Disciples from various major Sects in this Inn as well.
Sitting in the Inn drinking with Yu Liang, Su Yu found it quite interesting; usually, he wouldn't be able to hear others bragging.
The Xianyuan Assembly hadn't even started yet, and there were already quite a few people in the Inn bragging about their treasures.
"I'm not bragging, but this treasure of mine was stolen from the nest of a Golden Core Stage Yao Beast. To lure that Golden Core Stage Yao Beast away, I went to great lengths and risked my life to obtain that treasure."
He recounted, to himself, his so-called feats of outsmarting the Golden Core Stage Yao Beast, and the crowd cheered for him upon hearing it.
Su Yu drank his wine and listened; it was quite interesting.
Driven by his example, many others also began to recount how hard-won their own treasures were.
At this moment, one person, caught up in the atmosphere and perhaps because he had been drinking, spoke up.
"Everyone, quiet down. Those treasures of yours don't count for anything."
"You haven't seen a real treasure. The origin of this treasure of mine is incredible, though I don't know what it's used for."
"But this is rumored to be a treasure left behind by an Immortal from the Heavens."
After saying this, he took out the so-called treasure. Everyone had originally been curious about what it was—they were just bragging, but could this kid actually have something real?
Until that person took out a stone, the crowd immediately hissed. Wasn't it just a stone carved with array patterns?
They had thought he really had something good. Stones carved with array patterns were relatively common in the Cultivation World and were usually used for auxiliary purposes.
Su Yu looked at the stone the man took out. At first, he was a bit curious, but he investigated it and found nothing special.
It was just a stone carved with a slightly Advanced Spirit Gathering Array; he could make such a stone out of any rock he picked up by the roadside.
Carrying this stone on one's person could indeed bring decent results for those with low cultivation, improving their Cultivation efficiency.
For someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, this stone was still a decent treasure.
The person who took out the stone saw the crowd's reaction and couldn't save face. "What do you know? You really don't know a good thing when you see it." He put away the stone and slunk away.
Later, quite a few others introduced their treasures, with most of them exaggerating their claims.
For Su Yu, drinking while watching the show was quite interesting.
Soon, it was time for the Xianyuan Assembly to begin.
At this time, the area outside the city was already surrounded by people. As the city gates opened, everyone surged inside.
Su Yu and Yu Liang also stepped into the city; it was indeed lively.
Looking at the vendors shouting all around, every stall was filled with various treasures and Spirit Medicines.
There were quite a few novel Spirit Medicines that Su Yu hadn't seen before, so Su Yu picked a few and bought them. No one would have guessed that Su Yu was just going to plant them in his courtyard after buying them.
Su Yu and Yu Liang strolled among the vendors for a while, and both bought some items.
"Brother Su, the treasures among these vendors aren't the main thing; generally, you can't find any good treasures. The main event is the treasure exchange segment, where you can encounter good items."
"It just so happens there's an exchange assembly over there; let's go take a look."
"That's fine. Let's go see if there are any treasures I can use."
Su Yu and his companion arrived at a pavilion where an exchange assembly was about to be held. The exchange assembly in this pavilion had requirements for cultivation; one had to be at least Foundation Establishment Stage Level 6 to participate, which they happened to meet.
Those who didn't meet the requirements could only go find exchange assemblies that fit their conditions.
Su Yu and his companion registered at the door and entered. Both of them were Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9, so these conditions couldn't restrict them.
Soon, they stepped into the pavilion for this exchange assembly.
Su Yu looked at the circle of people seated in the pavilion from different regions; quite a few at this assembly were Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9.
The quality of this assembly in Xianyuan City was relatively high.
The seating of Su Yu and his companion did not attract anyone's attention.
Some people had already taken out their treasures. At this moment, Su Yu noticed a Cultivation Technique beside one person; this Cultivation Technique seemed quite interesting.
