Chapter 93: Treasure Convention (1/2)

Compared to half a year ago, Nie Tian had not only grown stronger, but also become quite a bit taller.

In An Shiyi’s eyes, he had been nothing more than a child half a year ago. However, the Nie Tian currently in front of her had already grown into a young man.

After the Green Illusion dimension trial, not only had Nie Tian’s cultivation base improved significantly, but he had also shed away his immaturity and had become more confident and calm.

Even though An Shiyi was surprised by all the changes, what had really made her sigh with mixed emotions was Nie Tian’s current status.

He’s now Wu Ji’s disciple.

She had long since heard about the name Wu Ji as well as his honorable status, not only in the Cloudsoaring sect, but even across the entire Realm of Flame Heaven.

Having been chosen by Wu Ji, Nie Tian could be considered to have reached the heavens with a single bound.

Because of Wu Ji, Nie Tian’s future had become immeasurable.

She understood that Nie Tian’s identity as Wu Ji’s disciple had even made the domineering Yuan Xian avoid offending him and never again dare to cause trouble with the Nie clan.

“Sister An, how come you’re greeting guests?” Nie Tian asked with a chuckle.

An Shiyi snapped out of her reverie, forced a smile, and said, “The sect has been short on hands lately. Well… enough chatting. I’ll arrange for people to take you to Jiang Lingzhu and the others.”

“She’s here, too?” Nie Tian asked in confusion.

“Of course,” An Shiyi responded. “The Cloudsoaring sect, Grayvale sect, and Mystic Mist sect have all come, as well as several subordinate clans of our sect.”

Nie Tian nodded. “Oh, I see.”

“Go ahead. I’ll find you and chat when I get time,” said An Shiyi.

Nie Tian didn’t read too much into her words. “Okay, then I’ll head inside first.”

“Liu He, bring Nie Tian to the Cloudsoaring sect’s residence,” An Shiyi instructed.

A person from the Spiritual Treasure sect hurried out of the sect gate and said respectfully, ”Please, follow me.”

WHOOSH!

At that moment, the Thunder Beast flapped its wings and took off, soaring high into the clouds.

Knowing that Jiang Lingzhu and others from the Cloudsoaring sect were also here, Nie Tian didn’t worry about the departure of the Thunder Beast.

He believed that since Jiang Lingzhu was here, whether or not the Thunder Beast would return and pick him up after the convention, he would be able to return to his sect along with Jiang Lingzhu and the others.

Therefore, under the guidance of the man from the Spiritual Treasure sect, he entered the main gate.

Once he was inside, he saw numerous stone pavilions alongside the stone roads, with Qi warriors of different realms constantly going in and out of them.

A loud laugh echoed out from within a stone cave that was in the mountain peak to his left.

“I’ve done it! Hahaha! It has finally been refined!”

An old man with red hair and a bushy beard that still had sparks of fire shooting out of it, was waving a long sword that had rays of moonlight flowing within, as if he had gone insane.

Nie Tian looked up towards the incomparably excited old man, and asked, “Equipment forger?”

Liu He, the escort, nodded while smiling. With a brief bow, he said, “In the entire Realm of Flame Heaven, we have the most equipment forgers in our sect. They all live in the stone caves in the nearby mountains, within which there are equipment forging rooms. Those unique equipment forging rooms are connected to the blazing flames at the earth’s core, enabling the equipment forgers to easily melt and forge items.

“A lot of rich buyers have come to this Treasure Convention, so all the equipment forgers are hoping to refine unique spiritual tools and then sell them for a good price.

“That’s why they’ve been rushing with their work during the last couple of days. They all want to forge high-ranked spiritual tools.”

Nie Tian nodded blankly and said, ”Oh, so that’s how it is.”

He had heard his master Wu Ji talk about the Treasure Conventions of the Spiritual Treasure sect, so he knew something about them.

Liu He didn’t lie, as most of the formidable equipment forgers of the Realm of Flame Heaven were truly from the Spiritual Treasure sect, and the Spiritual Treasure sect was located at the heart of Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, which was an excellent place for the equipment forgers to refine items.

In order for equipment forgers to refine a spiritual weapon, they would need fierce flames to melt the spiritual materials.

Deep under the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range was concealed a powerful earthflame. Through special means, the Spiritual Treasure sect channeled the earth’s core flame to each and every one of the forging rooms within the caves, so as to facilitate the equipment forgers in refining and forging spiritual tools, as well as to improve their equipment forging skills.

Spiritual tools forged by the equipment forgers of the Spiritual Treasure sect would usually be shipped to the seven major cities for sale.

The equipment forgers would get spirit stones in return for selling the spiritual tools, which they would then use to buy various kinds of materials to refine spiritual tools of even higher ranks.

However, the spiritual tools that were shipped into the seven cities often wouldn’t be of premium quality or high rankings.

The Spiritual Treasure sect would usually stock up the ones that were truly rare, had special usage, or high ratings. Then they would wait to sell them during the Treasure Conventions to the Mystic Mist sect, Grayvale sect, and Cloudsoaring sect.

Only those three sects would be able to afford the truly high-ranked spiritual tools.

According to Wu Ji, not only did the tools forged by the Spiritual Treasure sect excel in the Realm of Flame Heaven, they were even reputable throughout the entire Domain of the Falling Stars.

Wu Ji said that they had even attracted Qi warriors from the other eight realms to travel across the river of stars just to attend the Treasure Conventions held by the Spiritual Treasure sect.

Moreover, the Spiritual Treasure sect would specially supply the Qi warriors from the other eight realms with a selection of spiritual tools they had forged.

Nie Tian pondered as he followed Liu He. Before long, they arrived in front of a six-story stone pavilion.
