The Sacred Race had been the greatest enemy of the human race since ancient times. Generation after generation of Sacred Emperors had appeared, and at their peak, there were even three Sacred Emperors. They had even forcefully united the hundred races of the heavens and launched an all-out war against the human race.
It was the dark age of the human race. The hundred races of the heavens had slaughtered their way into the human world from all over the wasteland, but in the end, the human race had survived.
From then on, the Sacred Race's warriors were the ones that the human race paid the most attention to. Naturally, the half-step Kings of the Sacred Race were the main targets of the human race's Kings.
Inside the spirit lotus, Xiao Chen now knew some secrets. Looking at the corpse that was constantly emitting a faint holy aura, his eyes turned silent after a long time.
Although the Half King's corpse had been taken out for trade, the most important part of the corpse, the Saint Marrow, had already been extracted.
It was clearly the work of a King of the Turtle King Tribe. With the direct injection of the Saint Marrow, perhaps the Turtle King Tribe could directly give birth to an expert who had comprehended the Supreme Yang Laws.
However, the appearance of this sacred skeleton reminded Xiao Chen that he needed to make some preparations early. Now that he was already at the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm, he was only one step away from being a Legend rank expert. He also had to make preparations for stepping on the King's Road.
The King's Five Steps were not that easy to walk. One needed to go through many trials and tribulations, and there were even many dangers!
Although the Saint Marrow had been extracted, it was still a rare treasure for a warrior who had comprehended the Supreme Yang Laws. Very soon, some warriors began to take out treasures to exchange for the corpse.
In the end, this sacred skeleton was taken away by a warrior from a tribe called the Golden Crow Marquis Tribe. Similarly, this tribe's warrior had hurried over today.
However, Xiao Chen paid more attention to the cultivators of the Golden Crow Marquis Division. This was because the Golden Crow Marquis Division was a legendary Marquis Division ranked on the Legendary Marquis Division Ranking. Naturally, there was no need to doubt the strength of the tribe.
He wanted to see just how big of a gap there was between his Gu Yuan Tribe and a tribe on the Legend rank list. However, the Golden Crow Tribe only had one middle-aged man, which made Xiao Chen's heart palpitate.
He wore a dark golden battle suit, and there was a three-legged Golden Crow with its wings spread out on his chest. He stood there like a sun, emitting blazing heat. In fact, if one looked at him from afar, they would feel a piercing pain in their eyes.
Xiao Chen understood the Spiritual Wills of the surrounding martial artists and learned the identity of this middle-aged man.
The Golden Crow Marquis Division's Third Grand Supreme, Golden Crow Yang, was an expert who had already stepped into the second step of the King's Path. He was famous, and when he was young, he was also a genius who dominated the Eastern Barren Territory. Now, he had already started to walk on his own path.
Golden Crow Marquis Division, ranked 33rd on the Legendary Marquis Division Ranking.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. There was no way for Gu Yuan to compete with these Marquis Divisions that were ranked on the Legend Marquis Division Ranking because he was not qualified at all. The gap between them was just too big.
Whether it was in terms of the number of experts or the strength of the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe was completely defeated!
Four hours passed, and the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce took out over thirty treasures one after another. There were Half King Armaments, divine materials for forging Half King Armaments, Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, human ancient weapons, natural oddities, and exotic beast eggs.
There was even a small Void Battleship that was a high-grade Heaven Rank. However, Xiao Chen only took it out once and obtained a Heaven Rank Azure Fruit. After that, he did not take it out, as he did not have too many spiritual items on hand.
Moreover, some of the treasures he had obtained from the Blood Fainting Family might not be of low quality, but most of them were not suitable for human martial artists, so he did not take them out. As for the rest, perhaps the Gu Yuan Tribe would need them in the future.
Perhaps it was because so many powerful tribes had rushed over today, but the treasures the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce had taken out were greatly sought after by many tribes, even far exceeding the value of the treasures themselves. Xiao Chen did not have the wealth to fight with them.
When the sun set, Xiao Chen returned to his residence and appeared in the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
"Mas … Master!" A young child's voice was heard. The voice was thin and intermittent.
However, it caused Xiao Chen's entire body to shake violently. Then, a golden figure appeared beside Xiao Chen, its large golden eyes flashing with surprise.
Little Pegasus!
After consuming the Spirit Dissolving Grass, the little Pegasus had finally refined its hyoid bone and could speak.
Xiao Chen reached out and hugged the little Pegasus's large golden head.
"Master, Master …"
"Haha …" Seeing the little Pegasus' helplessness, Xiao Chen did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he laughed and said, "Little fellow, you can finally speak."
"Master, I don't want to stay in this small world anymore."
However, the next words made Xiao Chen confused. In the next moment, Xiao Chen understood the reason.
A green figure landed on the head of the pegasus. No matter how it struggled, the petite figure remained as still as a mountain. It could not get rid of her no matter how hard it tried.
"Xiao Jin, now that you can speak, you want to complain. You can forget about leaving this small world in the future."
Azure's voice caused the little Pegasus to tremble. To it, Azure was its greatest nemesis. Even when Zi Yuan let it test medicine, it was not as terrifying as this.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was extremely happy that the little Pegasus could speak. After all, it was a battle beast that he had made.
However, he could not help but smile at the scene between Azure and the little Pegasus.
"Husband, what did you gain today?"
Seeing Mu Qing, the little Pegasus immediately turned around and went to Mu Qing's side. It blinked its large eyes, wanting Mu Qing to help it get rid of the green demon on its head. It looked extremely pitiful.
This made Mu Qing chuckle. However, Mu Qing's arrival allowed the little Pegasus to get rid of Azure.
"I didn't gain much." Hearing this, Xiao Chen shook his head with a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
The treasures at the Trade Meet could be used as the foundation of a tribe. However, the Gu Yuan Tribe was too weak now. Unless they urgently needed something, it would be a waste of effort to exchange treasures of the same level for treasures of the same level.
"Husband, when our Gu Yuan Tribe's bartering ground opens, we won't have to worry about resources anymore."
Mu Qing said softly. She was naturally aware of the Gu Yuan Tribe's foundation.
In fact, if they used yuan stones, Xiao Chen still had quite a lot left from the Ancestral Court of the Border Desolate Border. However, at the barter event, the lowest level was already spirit crystals. Even if they had yuan stones, they could not be used.
Two hours later.
Among the huge palaces of the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce, there was a dark yellow hall. Two figures were swaying in the reflection of flames.
"This old man has yet to congratulate Clan Leader Xiao on being conferred the title of Marquis. This is truly a great fortune for the Human Race." Ao Qiong's voice sounded. He gestured to Xiao Chen, who was seated below.
"Leader Ao, you flatter me. I come from a remote place. Compared to the supreme Vanguard King Division, it's like comparing a bright moon to a speck of dust."
Xiao Chen also gestured. The Vanguard King Division had two supreme kings. Although Xiao Chen did not know how the supreme kings' ranking was, there was definitely a place for the Vanguard King Division.
A single King was enough to support a King Division and suppress the mountains and rivers for millions of miles, not to mention the Turtle King Division. With two Kings existing together, they could shake the heavens. In reality, if one thought about it, it was easy to understand. If one wasn't strong enough, how could they have a Giant Astral Tortoise to travel between the Eastern Wasteland and the Central Plains?
"Haha, Ao Qiong, the ancestors of the Vanguard King Division were also insignificant. Only by gathering a few grains of sand could we create the supreme Vanguard King Division. There is no need for Marquis to be so humble."
Although Xiao Chen came from a remote place, Ao Qiong did not look down on him in the slightest. Even a few days ago, Marquis of the Vanguard King Division was neither servile nor overbearing. Thus, Xiao Chen could not help but admire the prestige of a tribe that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Marquis will not participate in the subsequent barter events. Are you leaving now?" Then, Ao Qiong changed the topic.
"That's right."
Xiao Chen nodded. His expression was indifferent and he did not hide anything. Then, he said, "There are many treasures in the barter event. However, the foundation of the lower races is shallow. Although there are many treasures that I covet, I have no choice but to leave. If I stay, I will only sigh in vain."
"Marquis's bag is not dry."
Ao Qiong retorted. His eyes were bright as he looked at Xiao Chen. Obviously, he was talking about Xiao Chen taking out close to 10 Amethyst Sky Reaching Vines and Spiritual Medicines yesterday.
"However, I still need to exchange some resources at the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce. I will have to trouble Lord Ao Qiong." Xiao Chen did not delay any longer.
"A Void Crystal! A Void Crystal of above Medium Grade!"
"There are only Middle Rank Void Crystals in the chamber of commerce. Each one is worth one Middle Rank Spiritual Crystal!" Ao Qiong replied casually.
There were not many Middle Rank Spiritual Crystals in the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. Each Middle Rank Spiritual Crystal could be considered a Spiritual Item. If a certain number of Middle Rank Spiritual Crystals were buried in the wasteland, after a period of time, a Primordial Stone mine could be formed.
As for Lower Rank Spiritual Crystals, he had obtained some from the Ancestral Court of the Human Race. Although he had used up some of them in the bloody battle, he still had some left.
"Can I exchange them with Lower Rank Spiritual Crystals?"
"Yes, if it is Lower Rank Spiritual Crystals, you will need 101 Lower Rank Spiritual Crystals to exchange for one Middle Rank Spiritual Crystal. The Vanguard Chamber of Commerce will also accept one Lower Rank Spiritual Crystal!"
"Alright!"
Although Xiao Chen agreed, his heart was twitching. One Lower Rank Spiritual Crystal was equivalent to 100 Supreme Primordial Stones or 10,000 Upper Primordial Stones.
"Two hundred Mid Grade Void Crystals!"
Following Xiao Chen's words, an azure light flickered in his hand. Dense Spiritual Energy immediately surged in the hall, sparkling and translucent.
20,200 Lower Rank Spiritual Crystals!
"Alright!"
Soon, the Spiritual Crystals in the hall were collected by Ao Qiong. A crystal jade box appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. After he opened it, silver light shone. Silver-white Void Crystals were arranged together. There was a total of 200 pieces that rippled in space.
