In the shocked gazes of many cultivators, Hao Ren led Lu Linlin and a box containing something valuable into the bustling crowd of the trading conference.

"Linlin, how much spirit stone do we have left" Hao Ren turned his head to ask Lu Linlin.

“There are still a few intermediate-level spirit stones. Do you plan on buying medicinal pills or some magical treasures” Lu Linlin asked.

Since such trading conferences were organized by cultivators themselves, the items displayed would not be too high-end. Hence, Lu Linlin only brought four intermediate-level spirit stones primarily to buy some spiritual pills for Xiao Bai that could help with his cultivation growth.

"I also want to purchase wood beads, fire beads, and earth beads to form a set together with the gold bead and water bead on this necklace," Hao Ren said.

“This shouldn’t be difficult! I remember they’re all here!” Lu Lili was meticulous and paid special attention to the items at each stall. Upon hearing Hao Ren’s request, she immediately led him around three stalls to purchase these three attribute beads.

The cost of acquiring these three beads amounted to just half an intermediate-level spirit stone! If Hao Ren had tried collecting them on his own, he wouldn’t have known when he could complete the set. However, through this trading conference, it was simple to buy those additional three beads.

After incorporating these three beads into the necklace, the necklace would now be a fully-fledged Five Elements Necklace!

Through the necklace, Hao Ren could sense that the five beads around his neck were stimulating each other in a cycle and assisting in absorbing the Five Elements energy from heaven and earth.

This process was undoubtedly beneficial to Hao Ren’s cultivation of the Sword Shadow Technique! The Dragon Pill inside his body regulated internally while the Five Elements Necklace provided external micro-balancing!

After buying Xiao Bai its "food" and securing three more attribute beads, Hao Ren felt quite satisfied with this trip.

He released Lu Linlin’s small lock and then purchased a retractable "Dragon Binding Rope" for the price of one primary-level spirit stone. He attached the small bell to Xiao Bai's neck.

The golden bell on its snowy white fur looked very cute, and the special function of the binding rope meant that when Xiao Bai grew bigger, the rope with the bell wouldn’t break.

Since Xiao Bai always stayed close to Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili could still locate him through the small lock. However, attaching it to Xiao Bai’s body at least relieved Hao Ren of his worry about them barging in while he was bathing.

"Chirp chirp!" The little white bird suddenly chirped as it nestled in Hao Ren's arms.

It wriggled its butt and gently nipped Hao Ren’s arm with its beak.

Hao Ren knew Xiao Bai well enough to recognize that a wagging tail meant the bird needed to relieve itself.

He quickly let go of Xiao Bai, who leaped onto his shoulder and then dashed out of the trading conference area. The jingling sound from its bell was particularly eye-catching against its white fur.

I can't take it anymore" Even in the territory of this cultivator sect, he still couldn’t shake off his sudden urge to defecate!

Hao Ren helplessly followed him over; Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 covered their mouths with laughter but had no choice but to follow.

Without the illumination from the stone pillars, this area was rather dim.

A small white figure curled up in the grass, trembling its little bottom as it desperately tried to relieve itself.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, laughter erupted behind Hao Ren and the Lu sisters.

They turned around to see six male cultivators of varying attire surrounding them from a semicircular direction.

This place was some distance away from the main venue of the trading conference. Due to large boulders blocking the view, it could be considered an isolated area. Seeing them come over, Hao Ren roughly figured out their intentions: they had targeted him and Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 since he bought medicinal pills!

Three foundation establishment cultivators, two of whom were beautiful female cultivators, casually pulled out multiple mid-grade spirit stones; afterward, when buying items, they never batted an eyelid at the cost of spirit stones. This was enough to make them greedy for wealth and lustful.

The lowest rank presenters at this trading conference were foundation establishment cultivators, but even foundation establishment cultivators had ranks among themselves! These six male cultivators comprised three mid-stage foundation establishment cultivators and three late-stage foundation establishment cultivators!

However, Hao Ren’s cultivation level was merely a fourth-level cultivator. In their eyes, he was no more than a mid-stage foundation establishment cultivator! Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 had reached the foundation establishment stage as well, but they were both only initial-stage.

The disparity in strength between both sides was starkly evident. Even with one spirit beast that hadn’t even reached first rank, it didn’t affect their comparison of power!

"Little White, are you done yet" Hao Ren turned around and asked sternly. The little white figure, shaking its bottom as it padded over from the grass, suddenly noticed Hao Ren being surrounded and its eyes instantly changed. It rolled into a ball and transformed into a towering spirit beast one meter tall! Its mouth let out low growls!

Without any preamble, the six of them directly threw out various treasures!

The little white figure protecting beside Hao Ren roared and charged towards the treasures without hesitation!

"Little White, come back!" Hao Ren beckoned to Little White and pulled out a long spear from his Spatial Bag!

Golden Dragon Silver Spear!

This long spear grew in size with the wind!

The silver glow instantly turned into blinding golden light!

"So he really does have powerful treasures!" One of them exclaimed among the six, then gathered their six treasures together to counter Hao Ren’s golden spear!

They had gathered six people and launched a robbery with overwhelming advantage against Hao Ren and the Lu sisters precisely because they were concerned that this generous young man might possess formidable techniques.

However, according to their thoughts, no matter how powerful the magical treasures are, they will be their spoils at the end of the day!

Ding ding ding! When the golden spear collided with the six magical treasures, it actually repelled all of them! However, the momentum of the golden spear could not be stopped and it suddenly pierced into the ground!

"This brat isn't skilled in using magical treasures. Charge!" The leader among the six people shouted again.

However, they had made a mistake. Hao Ren wasn't skilled with magical treasures because he hardly ever used them; throwing out the golden spear was merely to attract their magical treasures and save Little White!

"Linlin, Lily, guard first!" Hao Ren issued an order and then shot two sword qi rays with both hands.

Up until now, he had never truly engaged in actual combat. Especially the power of the sword formation; he hadn't tried it yet!

"Five Elements Sword Qi Petty tricks!" When they used their magical treasures to block Hao Ren's two sword qi rays and were about to encircle him again, they noticed a huge fiery ring burning down from above.

Basic Sword Formation - Fire Formation!

A combination of old sect fire attribute qi!

As long as they are trapped within it, it can burn them into ashes!

An array formation is an array formation; it's the ability to confine enemies and win with lesser strength against greater!

Swish swish swish!

A dense shower of swords rained down on them from high above!

Gold Sword Qi, in three batches, old sword added together, threateningly! Basic Sword Formation - Gold Formation!

The seemingly scattered radiance actually interlinks and reinforces each other. This is the might of an array formation!

Three mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and three late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were at a loss when faced with such a sword array descending from heaven.

"It's a Core Formation Realm cultivator! We made a mistake! Quickly dodge!" The leader threw out a white copper gong and hurriedly retreated!

Ding ding ding!

The dense golden Sword Qi pierced the copper gong, turning it into a sieve instantly!

A Core Formation Realm cultivator seems to only differ by one rank from Foundation Establishment Realm, but their strength is worlds apart! Reaching the Core Formation stage means a significant leap in realm; they can wield high-level magical treasures and use advanced spells!

Even if there were six of them, they would not dare to oppose a Cultivator at the Formation Core stage!

In reality, Hao Ren's cultivation level was only equivalent to the Departure stage, which indeed corresponds to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, due to his use of sword arrays, people mistakenly believed he was a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage with a cultivation level corresponding to that stage!

Upon the activation of a sword array, heaven and earth darkened.

A sword array is also a kind of magical formation. It relies on leveraging external forces, drawing spiritual energy from the surroundings rather than solely depending on the power of the cultivator.

The six Foundation Establishment stage Cultivators attempted to flee in panic by rolling and crawling, but Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 (Lili), who stood beside Hao Ren, suddenly released a terrifying aura!

"Core Formation" - Core Formation stage cultivator!" The six of them immediately became weak-kneed.

It was already bad enough to encounter a hidden-strength Nascent Soul stage cultivator at this low-level Trading Conference; they were even more shocked to find two grandmasters at the Core Formation stage!

Without any further thoughts, they lay on the ground and repeatedly磕頭 (kowtowed) toward Hao Ren and the Lu family sisters. Two of them even urinated themselves in fear.

Robbing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would mean death no matter how many lives one had; robbing two Core Formation stage grandmasters meant not only stealing wealth but also attempting to take advantage, which would surely result in instant death despite having ten thousand lives.

A Core Formation stage cultivator could kill these six Foundation Establishment stage cultivators by just squeezing their fingers. In the vast Five-layered Heavens, there were only four Core Formation stage grandmasters!

It was precisely because of the presence of these four grandmasters that the sects they belonged to became the most powerful among all cultivation sects in the Five-layered Heavens.

When they saw their heads still attached after repeatedly banging them on the ground, they looked up cautiously—only to find no trace left of the youth and beauties as well as that spirit beast!

"Boss, are you okay" A man in gray clothed attire helped his boss who was still trembling from shock.

Their leader's face and hair were covered with blood; he looked at his own magical treasure on the ground and saw it had lost all its spiritual energy!

Lost both wife and troops! He wiped off his bloody face, gritted his teeth, and said to himself.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was considered a half-stronghand in the Five-layered Heavens but ended up in such a miserable situation and nearly lost their lives!

"Let's go!" Picking up the broken magical treasure on the ground, the boss adjusted his breath and took his subordinates into the Trading Conference.

"Boss, there is a girl at the first layer of Qi Refinement stage over there!" A subordinate who had knocked out two teeth from kowtowing pointed toward one direction in the Trading Conference.

"Even without successfully reaching Foundation Establishment, she still dares to show up at the Trading Conference Damn it! We'll rob her!" The boss spat blood and walked with his subordinates over there.

Just as they took five steps forward, a suffocating pressure suddenly fell from above; another grandmaster at the Core Formation stage!

Their already frail bodies immediately collapsed to their knees!schief-makers led by Yu Rong followed Hao Ren over.When Hao Ren arrived at the basketball court, he saw Xie Yujia already playing there in her white sportswear. Her bicycle was parked outside the cour...
