After leaving the branch tower, Xiao Yuan returned to Ye Courtyard, while Xiao Yan went to the trading area to shop, but apart from some barely acceptable medicinal herbs, he didn't get anything good that could surprise him.

Fortunately, the Alchemist Trade Fair will be held the day after tomorrow, so Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan also refined a batch of pills in this day and a half.

With their current alchemy skills, they can refine several low-level and mid-level seventh-grade pills a day.

When Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan walked out of the room, Ye Chong, Xin Lan, and Little Medical Fairy had been waiting at the courtyard gate for a long time. Skyfire Venerable was also rarely interested in going with them.

As for the other three girls, Cai Lin and Yun Yun were practicing, while Tang Huoer stayed behind to protect her two sisters.

"Hehe, are you ready?"

Ye Zhong looked at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, both of whom looked refreshed and expectant, and couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, waved his hand, and said softly: "Well, let's go and see the Alchemist Trade Fair in Shengdan City!"

The location of this trade fair is outside the city of Shengdan, but the location is not bad, being located at the junction of the outer and inner domains. It is said that this trade fair has grown so big because of the support of Danta, and because of this, when exchanging items at this trade fair, things like murder and robbery rarely occur. After all, in this Dan domain, no one can escape Danta's pursuit.

"Alchemist Trade Fair."

Standing in front of a rather large building, Xiao Yuan looked at the flamboyantly written characters on the light green wooden plaque and nodded slightly.

At this moment, in front of the trade fair, there was a constant flow of traffic and people coming and going like a tide. Countless people dressed in alchemist robes successfully passed through the heavy guards at the entrance of the trade fair and entered amidst the envious gazes from all around.

"Is this here?"

Xiao Yuan looked at this rather grand trade fair, turned his head and asked Ye Chong beside him.

"Yeah." Ye Zhong nodded with a smile, and then said with some nostalgia, "I haven't been here for many years. It has changed a lot."

After confirming the target, Xiao Yuan also smiled, then nodded to Xiao Yan beside him.

Xiao Yan immediately understood and walked towards the door of the trade fair. When the stern-faced guards were about to stop him, he took out the seventh-grade alchemist badge he had obtained in the assessment the day before from his storage ring and gently placed it on his chest.

When they saw the badge on his chest, the guards with solemn faces slowly stepped back and bowed to Xiao Yan.

According to the rules of the Alchemist Fair, alchemists who have reached the seventh rank or above are eligible to bring some companions into the Fair. Therefore, Xiao Yuan and the others were not stopped, but allowed to follow Xiao Yuan into the spacious gate.
Behind the gate was a spacious and cool passage. Xiao Yuan and his companions walked into the passage. Then the boiling sound suddenly came towards them and then penetrated into their ears.

Standing at the entrance of the passage, Xiao Yuan swept his eyes and saw a vast hall in front of him. Inside the hall, there were many neatly arranged stone platforms, like vendors. Behind the stone platforms, some people who looked like vendors sat cross-legged, with lazy expressions, not like businessmen at all. Of course, they were not.
The flow of people in the hall was also quite terrifying, and most of them were wearing alchemist robes. Obviously, they were all alchemists.
Many alchemists wandered around this vast hall, occasionally stopping in front of some stone platforms, carefully looking at the items placed on the platforms. If they saw something they liked, they would stop and start negotiating the exchange terms with the stall owner.

"Haha, this alchemist trade fair is also divided into different levels and areas. This is only the third level area. The second level area is on the second floor, and the first level area is on the top floor. However, there are conditions for entering the upper floors." Ye Zhong smiled behind Xiao Yuan, "To enter the second floor, you need to reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, and for the third floor, you need to be at least a seventh-grade alchemist or a Dou Zun strongman to enter."

Xiao Yan nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Let's walk around here first and see if we can find anything."

After saying that, he walked into the hall with great interest, and then began to scan the surrounding vendors, trying to find what he needed.
Seeing Xiao Yuan like this, Ye Zhong could only nod helplessly and follow him.

Xiao Yuan didn’t think there could be anything good in this low-level area. Since he was rich, he went straight to the third floor.

When passing the second floor, Xiao Yuan only leaked a little bit of soul power and was politely allowed to pass. However, when he reached the stairs to the top floor, he paused.

There are two old men standing here. They have kind smiles on their faces, but the robes on their bodies show that they are people from this trade fair. They don't have alchemist badges on their chests, but from the powerful fighting spirit that emanates from them, it can be seen that these two are obviously two powerful Dou Zong masters.

When the two old men saw Xiao Yuan and his companions, they were startled at first, then they quickly glanced at Xiao Yuan's chest and found that there was no badge. Just as they were about to speak, they glanced at Xiao Yixiang and Tianhuo Zunzun, and their pupils shrank slightly. Although they could not perceive the exact strength of these two people, they could understand that these two were the terrifying existences who had advanced to the Dou Zun level!
"Haha, are you guests going to the top floor?"

One of the two men, an old man in a yellow robe, came forward first, bowed and said politely with a smile.

Xiao Yuan smiled, clasped his fists, and nodded.

"You all look unfamiliar. This must be your first time at the Alchemist Trade Fair, right?" the old man in yellow robe said with a smile.

"What? Do only regular customers can go to the top floor?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Haha, you are joking, sir. I was just asking casually. If you want to go to the top floor, please follow me." Seeing this, the old man in yellow robe shook his head hurriedly. Although his strength was not weak, those who could enter the top floor were not easy to deal with, so he naturally did not want to offend them.

After he finished speaking, he turned around first and led the way, while Xiao Yuan and his group followed slowly.

Following the old man in yellow robe, the group successfully passed a short staircase. However, even on this short staircase of only twenty meters, Xiao Yuan discovered that there were no less than five hidden gazes shooting out from some hidden places, scanning him and others.

But he didn't care. With two Dou Zun masters following him, he was not afraid at all.

Compared with the two floors below, the top floor is not spacious, but the decoration is extremely thoughtful. It is not as dazzling as the second floor. The light blue warm jade is spread all over the top floor. When you step on it, a light warm and cool feeling flows into the soles of your feet, making you feel unusually comfortable all over.

There were very few people on the rooftop covered with warm jade. At a glance, there were only a handful of dozens of people. However, Xiao Yuan understood that if these dozens of people were placed outside, each of them would be a truly powerful person or alchemy master who could cause some sensation.

The appearance of Xiao Yuan and others naturally attracted the attention of some people on the top floor. Their eyes immediately shifted to them. When they saw Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yixian and others following behind him, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. It is rare to see a young man accompanied by two Dou Zuns. I wonder which group of powerful people they are from?

Of course, although some people are curious, they all understand the rules here, so they naturally would not be stupid enough to ask or inquire about anything. In a place like this, this is considered a taboo.

"Haha, if you need anything, you can tell me. Maybe I can give you some information." The old man in yellow robe said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan also spoke directly from his heart and said, "I need two kinds of medicinal herbs, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Ganoderma Lucidum and the Burning Flame Snake Tongue Grass."

These two kinds of herbs are both of fire attribute, and they are the last two herbs he plans to use to refine an eighth-grade elixir. However, even in the Fenyan Valley, there are no such herbs, so he can only come here and try his luck.

"Ten Thousand Years Fire Ganoderma, Burning Flame Snake Tongue Grass," the old man in yellow robe muttered to himself, pondered for a while, and said, "They are both very rare medicinal materials, and they must be used to refine high-level elixirs. I have no idea about the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ganoderma, but as for the Burning Flame Snake Tongue Grass, I have to say that you are lucky. Among the things to be traded on the top floor today, there happens to be a Burning Flame Snake Tongue Grass!"

"Oh?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that just by asking casually, he could actually get information about a plant of Burning Snake Tongue Grass.

"Hehe, please follow me."

The old man in yellow robe smiled, then turned and walked towards the north corner of the top floor. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan hurriedly followed with the three of them.

Xiao Yuan and the others followed the yellow-robed old man for a distance, and then stopped at the southern corner of the top floor. At this moment, there was a jade table here, and bursts of hot air came to their faces. On the jade table, there were some scattered medicinal materials, scrolls, and even pills, and they didn't seem to be ordinary things.

There were many people gathered around the jade platform, obviously very interested in the things on it.

Xiao Yuan's gaze skipped over the jade platform and stopped at the white-haired old man behind the platform. The old man had a lazy look on his face. He lay on the jade platform, ignoring the onlookers around him, and dozed off with his eyes half closed.

"Haha, Mr. Wang, business is good today, right?" The old man in yellow robe squeezed in beside the jade table and said to the tired old man with white hair with a smile.
"Bullshit, these guys just look but don't buy, and they complain it's too expensive. Ha, it's cheaper down there, if you think it's too expensive, just go buy it down there"

The old man seemed to perk up a little after hearing this, and said with a look of disgust.

Seeing this, some people around couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but it was not a good place to argue with others, so they could only leave in embarrassment.

Xiao Yuan was also stunned by the attitude of this straightforward old man. He glanced at the seventh-grade high-level badge on the other's chest.

This old man is quite powerful!

"Sir, this is the Burning Snake Tongue Grass you need, but Mr. Wang's things are very expensive, so you have to be mentally prepared."

The old man in yellow robe pointed at a jade box that was steaming and had faint sparks rising from it, and spoke softly.

Inside the jade box, there was a red medicinal herb that looked like a small flaming snake, coiled inside.

Xiao Yuan glanced over and nodded slightly.

Yes, judging from the shape of the medicinal materials and the energy they contain, it is indeed what he needs!

"Don't look at it. I don't have any fake stuff here. Do you want to buy it?" The old man raised his head lazily, glanced at Xiao Yuan, and paused his gaze on the two Dou Zun behind him. He grinned and said, "Scorching Flame Snake Tongue Grass, a seventh-grade high-level elixir."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned. This old man actually said something like a seventh-grade advanced elixir.

"Old sir, the Flame Snake Tongue Grass is basically used to refine low-level and mid-level seventh-grade elixirs, but due to its special medicinal properties, it can also be used as an auxiliary ingredient for eighth-grade elixirs. However, this is only possible when combined with other top-grade medicinal materials. Now you are asking this price for just one Flame Snake Tongue Grass, which is a bit too much!"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Eighth-grade elixir?" The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he looked Xiao Yuan up and down with some suspicion, and couldn't help but ask, "I have never heard that this thing can be used to refine eighth-grade elixir. Who told you?"

"Haha, it is indeed possible to refine an eighth-grade elixir, but it is used as a supplementary medicine to neutralize the medicinal properties of the main medicine."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Assisted medicine?"

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly. As far as he knew, this Burning Snake Tongue Grass was usually used in some low-level and mid-level seventh-grade elixirs. Perhaps it could be used in seventh-grade high-level elixirs, but he had never seen it. As for the eighth-grade, he had naturally never heard of it.

"Your teacher is an eighth-grade alchemist?"

The old man thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, better than me anyway."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Are you a seventh-grade alchemist?"

The old man had somewhat expected this.

"I am of the eighth rank."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Oh, you are the eighth rank." The old man nodded and repeated it. Then he was suddenly startled and looked at Xiao Yuan with wide eyes. His exclamation attracted many people around him to look at him sideways, "You are the eighth rank!?"

"What is the eighth rank?"

Many people were confused. It was impossible for them to associate this young man with an eighth-grade alchemist.

"Yes, but my teacher is much better than me."

Xiao Yuan nodded seriously.

Even though he had now entered the eighth rank, he still couldn't help but marvel at Yao Lao's vast spiritual power.

He knew that it was because Yao Lao's soul power had already reached a higher level, the heavenly realm!
"How could you be an eighth-grade alchemist?"

The old man still looked incredulous.

An eighth-grade alchemist!
This is the realm he has been pursuing all his life!

As a result, this young man who looks only about 20 years old has actually achieved it?

"Haha, old man, do you want to experience it?"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then a trace of soul power with a sense of dexterity quietly emerged and gently touched the old man's brow.

“This smell of spirituality!”

An expression of irrepressible excitement appeared on the old man's face. Under the influence of that spiritual power, he clearly felt that the power of his soul seemed to have become much more lively!
"Young sir, I wonder if I can learn a thing or two from you? You can take these herbs as you like. I will give them to you as a gift!"

The old man actually bowed and said with a serious face! (End of this chapter)
