After purchasing the Blood Swallow Grass, Mo Wangchen and his companion continued their search in the black market for a long time.

Though they did see some stalls displaying medicinal herbs, they did not find any other ingredients for the Soothing Spirit Pill.

However, they soon learned some information from a side conversation.

In Black Evil City, a treasure exchange event is held every night in the western part of the city.

Many cultivators attend these treasure exchange events, aptly named, where treasures are exchanged for treasures.

However, it’s not just about trading; if you have enough Spirit Stones to tempt the owner, you can also buy with Spirit Stones.

"The treasure exchange event is starting soon, let’s hurry over and see."

"I heard that this time, someone has brought out an Ancient Emperor Weapon for trade, and many people have gone there early after hearing the news; we should also rush over and take a look."

Heading towards the West of the city, Mo Wangchen and his companion heard many people discussing this treasure exchange event along the way.

"An Ancient Emperor Weapon has been put up for exchange?" Zhang Hao was surprised, knowing that a genuine Ancient Emperor Weapon would cost at least millions, if not tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

It seems that this so-called treasure exchange event is not small in scale.

"Exactly what I wanted, let’s go have a look. If we can find the other herbs, that would be great; if not, it will be fun just to watch the bustling scene."

Mo Wangchen said with a smile, as it had already grown dark, and Black Evil City was located in a special area in the South of Central State.

Surrounded by the Endless Mountains, Ancient Alien Species appeared in numbers several times greater than other places, so naturally, no one dared to travel at night.

Tonight, he and Zhang Hao would stay in Black Evil City for the night; since they had nothing better to do, they might as well join in the lively scene.

The venue for the treasure exchange event looked somewhat simple, covered with black cloth to form a makeshift building.

The building was quite large inside, apparently able to accommodate thousands of people.

When the two arrived in front of the building and looked ahead, many people were heading inside, including all sorts of people. With Mo Wangchen’s powerful perception, he even discerned that among those entering were several experts who had reached the Emperor Realm Great Mahayana.

There were even two people from the Immortal Realm Great Power!

"Who brought the Ancient Emperor Weapon here tonight, and are they present?"

"Could it be someone deliberately spreading rumors to attract people?"

"The news seems reliable; I heard it’s a Demon Weapon from an Ancient Clan, infinitely powerful. However, the owner also said that to trade for his treasure, one would need to exchange it for a Human Clan Immortal Artifact."

After entering the venue for the treasure exchange event, the place was already crowded with many people discussing various things.

"An Immortal Artifact?"

"Are you joking? Although the might of a Demon Weapon surpasses our Human Clan’s Ancient Emperor Weapons quite a bit, to trade it for our Human Clan Immortal Artifact is like a fool’s dream, isn’t it?"

Someone scoffed, wondering which person from the Ancient Clan made such a bold statement, taking the Human Clan for fools?

"It doesn’t need to be a Quasi-Immortal Device, just a Half-Step Immortal Artifact will do. Our Human Clan has a legacy of countless years, and we have quite a few leftover Half-Step Immortal Artifacts, while the Ancient Clan remains hidden most of the time. Thus, their emergence and the Demon Weapon indeed hold significant research value for our Human Clan."

"Yeah, I heard this treasure exchange event has attracted many experts from Sacred Lands and Ancient Families. But who knows if they are here just for the spectacle or if they intend to trade for the Demon Weapon?"

As the crowd was abuzz, Mo Wangchen and his companion were looking for a place to sit when suddenly they spotted someone.

"Uh... what a coincidence?"

This acquaintance was none other than Shen Qing, from whom Mo Wangchen had just purchased the Blood Swallow Grass in the black market.

He was here too!

"It seems that you, sir, have quite a few good items on you." Mo Wangchen smiled and eyed Shen Qing up and down.

This man’s presence here, by his expression, seemed not just to be part of the crowd; perhaps there was something in the treasure exchange event that had caught Shen Qing’s interest.

If he didn’t possess some valuable treasures, why would Shen Qing dare to come here and engage in exchanges?

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Shen Qing chuckled, a departure from his earlier demeanor in the black market, and said, "Tonight’s treasure exchange event supposedly includes a Heavenly Cold Stone. This item is crucial for my Cultivation Technique. If I can acquire it, it would significantly advance my cultivation, allowing me to fare much better during the Heavenly God Institute’s assessment..."

"You are also participating in the Heavenly God Institute’s assessment?"

Mo Wangchen was taken aback, assessing the other man; he had noticed early on that Shen Qing’s cultivation was around the second level of the Emperor Realm, a bit higher than Zhang Hao.

Surprised at first upon hearing that the other was participating in the assessment, Mo Wangchen soon reconciled with the idea.

"The Heavenly God Institute, which opens once every ten thousand years, offers attendees a chance to attain Divine Status and ascend to the Ancient God Realm. Given such a temptation, which current prodigy could remain indifferent?" Shen Qing said with a smile.

Mo Wangchen nodded, "Good luck then. I hope you manage to get that so-called Heavenly Cold Stone. There are quite a lot of people who have come here today; the competition is likely to be fierce."

"Hehe, my Cultivation Technique involves a Cold Attribute Technique. This type of technique is quite uncommon, and the Heavenly Cold Stone is particularly beneficial to it but of no use to others," Shen Qing stated.

He was determined to get the Heavenly Cold Stone; having it would significantly enhance his cultivation speed.

He had traveled from the Southern Immortal Domain to Central State, which had been several years now. He had not been back to his family for a long time.

His family in the Southern Immortal Domain, though only a second-tier existence compared to those Ancient Families, was still the place where he had grown up.

The reason for his solitary journey was that Shen Qing had not had a pleasant relationship with his family members.

His talent was not particularly impressive, and he was often ridiculed within his family; unable to endure it any longer, he had chosen to travel to the vast Central State.

Fortune favors the bold, and after years of adventuring, he gained many opportunities. Despite his lack of inherent talent, he managed, through sheer effort, to ’Prove Emperor’ successfully, having now reached the second level of the Emperor Realm.

However, Shen Qing was not in a hurry to return because he knew that the most talented person in his family, his eldest uncle’s son, the current Family Head’s offspring, was likely at least at the third level of the Emperor Realm.

His cultivation was still ahead!

Not confident of surpassing all the youths of the Shen Family, Shen Qing would not return.

If he could pass the Heavenly God Institute’s assessment, then returning to the Shen Family would indeed be a triumphant return.

That would also bring some pride to his parents who worried daily.
