Dao Exchange Gathering Filled with Powerhouses

"How do I participate in the Dao Exchange Gathering?" Joe Di asked immediately.

The pretty female cultivator patiently explained, "To participate in the Dao Exchange Gathering, you must possess a VIP card from our Nightfall Artifact Pavilion..."

"How do I obtain a VIP card?" Joe Di asked urgently. There was only one hour left before the Dao Exchange Gathering began, so he had to secure a VIP card as soon as possible.

Seeing how anxious Joe Di was, the pretty female cultivator realized he truly wanted to become a VIP of the Nightfall Artifact Pavilion, and her mind grew more active. "Our Nightfall Artifact Pavilion VIPs are divided into five levels, from one-star to five-star. To become a one-star VIP, you must trade at least ten million top-grade Divine Crystals with us."

Ten million top-grade Divine Crystals? Joe Di breathed a sigh of relief; he still had around ten million Divine Crystals on him. Besides, he planned to buy Divine Fire Silkworm Silk, which was priced at twenty million. Even with a discount, it would still be more than ten million.

Before Joe Di could speak, the pretty female cultivator added, "If you're not already a VIP of our Nightfall Artifact Pavilion but still wish to participate in the Dao Exchange Gathering, you must present a top-tier treasure and also have over ten million Divine Crystals on hand."

Of course, Joe Di would never show his best treasures to the other party. Without hesitation, he pointed at the Divine Fire Silkworm Silk and asked, "What's the lowest price for this Divine Fire Silkworm Silk?"

"Ah..." The pretty female cultivator exclaimed in surprise, then became excited. "If senior wishes to buy Divine Fire Silkworm Silk, I can offer it to you for nineteen million seven hundred thousand top-grade Divine Crystals..."

It's only three hundred thousand Divine Crystals less, which made little difference to Joe Di.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I pay with God Origin Pills, how will they be exchanged?"

The pretty female cultivator looked at Joe Di in surprise. "Senior, do you mean God Origin Pills?"

Although she hadn't been at the Nightfall Artifact Pavilion for long, she knew that no one would use God Origin Pills to make purchases. God Origin Pills were barely enough for cultivation—who would be foolish enough to use them as Divine Crystals?

"That's right, I'm talking about God Origin Pills," Joe Di affirmed. He knew God Origin Pills were precious, but he simply didn't have many Divine Crystals on him. He had over ninety million God Origin Pills, but only a little over ten million Divine Crystals.

"Senior, according to market rates, one God Origin Pill is worth one hundred top-grade Divine Crystals..." the pretty female cultivator said, her tone somewhat excited.

She sensed that Joe Di truly wanted to buy Divine Fire Silkworm Silk. If he really used God Origin Pills to purchase it, she would be set for life.

Without hesitation, Joe Di took out a storage pouch and handed it to the pretty female cultivator. "Here are ten million eight hundred thousand top-grade Divine Crystals, along with ninety thousand God Origin Pills. Help me purchase the Divine Fire Silkworm Silk, and also arrange a one-star VIP card for me."

"Yes, Senior..." The pretty female cultivator accepted the storage pouch excitedly, then remembered the quoted price for Divine Fire Silkworm Silk. "Senior, you paid an extra one hundred thousand top-grade Divine Crystals."

Joe Di waved his hand. "I know. You can keep the extra for your cultivation. By the way, you may take some God Origin Pills as well."

Hearing that she could keep the extra one hundred thousand Divine Crystals as a tip, the female cultivator was so excited her hands trembled. "Thank you, Senior, thank you so much!"

She bowed to Joe Di several times, her joy and gratitude beyond words. Most precious of all, Joe Di had said she could take some God Origin Pills. That meant she gained a thousand God Origin Pills as cultivation resources. Compared to the one hundred thousand Divine Crystals, she valued the thousand God Origin Pills even more.

God Origin Pills contain no pill toxins, only pure world energy, making cultivation with them much more effective. If Joe Di hadn't said the tip was God Origin Pills, she wouldn't have dared to take them.

In just a short time, the female cultivator helped Joe Di obtain a one-star VIP card and also packaged the Divine Fire Silkworm Silk for him.

......

When Joe Di arrived at the sixth floor for the Dao Exchange Gathering, there were already seven or eight people present.

There was still about half an hour before the Dao Exchange Gathering began. Joe Di found a seat and had barely sat down before more people started arriving. Since Joe Di cultivated the Dao of Laws, he immediately sensed that the weakest among the newcomers was at the Transformation Realm. Several of them had extremely powerful auras—Joe Di judged they must be experts at the second step of Dao Proving.

As someone at the early stage of Dao Nurturing, Joe Di's presence here was rather conspicuous. Fortunately, he hadn't revealed his true strength, and thanks to his shapeshifting disguise, unless someone was far more powerful and had a much deeper understanding of the Grand Dao, it would be impossible to easily discern his real cultivation.

Originally, Joe Di planned to bid for anything he fancied. With ninety million God Origin Pills on him—nearly ten billion top-grade Divine Crystals—that was a tremendous fortune.

However, seeing so many powerful cultivators present, Joe Di changed his mind. Unless it was something he desperately needed, he absolutely wouldn't make a move.

Half an hour passed, and the Dao Exchange Gathering was nearly full. Joe Di glanced around—there were at least seventy or eighty people.

Finally, a long-bearded elder walked in. He cupped his fists to the cultivators in the room and said, "Many friends here know me—I am Qi He, the Dao Exchange Host of the Nightfall Artifact Pavilion. Today is our monthly Dao Exchange Gathering. Although it's not as grand as the annual Dao Exchange, there's always something good each month. I'll be your host today..."

As he spoke, Qi He produced an ancient, high-necked jade bottle. "This is a bottle our Nightfall Artifact Pavilion has just acquired, containing a trace of Chaos Qi..."

Before Qi He could finish speaking, every gaze and divine sense in the hall instantly locked onto the jade bottle in his hand. The excitement in the air was so intense that Joe Di could clearly feel it.

Joe Di sighed inwardly; if he hadn't obtained the Sacred Yin Pearl, he would be just as excited. Unfortunately, since he had the Sacred Yin Pearl, this item was even less useful than chicken ribs to him. If it were pure Chaos Qi, it would be somewhat better—Qi He had said it only contained a trace of Chaos Qi.

Sure enough, Qi He continued, "Unfortunately, this isn't pure Chaos Qi. It's mixed with other mottled auras, with Chaos Qi making up only one-tenth. This bottle is only available for item exchange—not for Immortal Crystals, though God Origin Pills may be considered."

As Qi He spoke the last sentence, his gaze swept over Joe Di. Clearly, he already knew about Joe Di using ninety thousand God Origin Pills to purchase Divine Fire Silkworm Silk.

"I have a wood-attribute Thought Crystal, plus ten thousand God Origin Pills..." The first offer came from a veiled woman.

"I'll offer ten stalks of sixth-grade Divine Spirit Herbs, plus a Phantom Wind Pattern."

.....

Whether pure or mottled, Chaos Qi immediately drew a flurry of bids. Joe Di wasn't interested in this one-tenth mottled Chaos Qi, but among the offers were a few items he wanted. For example, the Phantom Wind Pattern—it contained wind-attribute laws, and by cultivating with it, one could help nirvana-stage flying wing artifacts advance. It was truly a rare treasure.

Such a small amount of mottled Chaos Qi was so sought after that Joe Di couldn't help but think of his own Ninth World. At its edges, there was still plenty of Pure Yin Chaos Qi—if he took out a bottle of that, how much would it be worth?

However, Joe Di knew very well that even if he brought out a Two-Realm Flower, he couldn't reveal Pure Yin Chaos Qi—that would be courting death.

The bottle containing one-tenth mottled Chaos Qi was quickly exchanged by a long-faced powerhouse, who only paid a million God Origin Pills for it.

The Nightfall Artifact Pavilion clearly knew how to control the pace of the Dao Exchange Gathering. With such a strong opening, the second item offered was just as impressive.

The second person to present something was a monk cultivator, who brought out Silverfall Ice Sulfur—a material for crafting top-tier flying artifacts. Although Joe Di had many materials, he didn't have anything this rare.

As soon as Joe Di saw Silverfall Ice Sulfur, he decided to acquire it. His escape techniques were strong, but for long journeys, he couldn't always rely on them. Moreover, the monk had brought a sizable amount of Silverfall Ice Sulfur. Once Joe Di's artifact refinement skills improved, he could craft a supreme flying vessel.

"Is this Silverfall Ice Sulfur?" As soon as the monk revealed his item, someone recognized it. This top-tier material was rare not only for Joe Di, but for other cultivators as well.

The monk smiled and said, "That's right, this is Silverfall Ice Sulfur. It can be used to craft supreme flying artifacts. I don't want anything else—just Law Fragments."

Joe Di was delighted—he still had two Law Fragments on him. He had kept them solely to exchange for cultivation resources; to him, Law Fragments were of no use at all.
