"Come, come, don't miss out! Take a look at this, a great treasure unearthed from the immortal mansion last time. What do you say, it's not expensive, only 998 spirit coins, just 998!"
"Over here, secret manuals! Qingyuan Immortal Venerable's internal cultivation techniques, 100 spirit coins a book!"
"Wholesale pills!"
"Armor, the essential four-piece set for any trial, come, come, selling cheap!"
Su Han walked along the road, looking at his surroundings in shock. It was indeed extremely lively. This oasis was like a small town in the desert, with people gathering from all directions to conduct business.
Besides some stalls, there were also taverns, inns, and the like, which was quite magical!
"Don't buy... ninety-nine percent of the things here are fake. You must not be fooled," Baili Qinyin said.
Su Han was stunned. He could tell at a glance that these things were extremely unreliable. If they were real, they would have long been snatched up by others.
Now, for these stall owners to be able to sell them so peacefully was enough to show how trashy these things were.
"By the way, you said this Qingyuan Immortal Mansion assesses the difficulty of trials based on age, right? How old are you then?" Su Han asked curiously. After all, Baili Qinyin looked like a young girl, but Su Han knew she had been one of the six great protectors a hundred years ago, so her age should be at least two hundred years old.
"Heh, me?"
Pointing to herself, Baili Qinyin said with arrogance, "Speaking of age, for those in the late Emperor realm and above, for the past thousand years, there's no one younger than me. A hundred years ago, I was already in the late Emperor realm. What do you think?"
Su Han shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"What about you, kid! Since everyone is here, tell me, how old are you really? Five hundred, eight hundred, or... a thousand?"
After all, many powerful individuals could control their appearance. Su Han, with his mid-Emperor realm strength, still looked around twenty, which made Baili Qinyin suspect his true age.
It could be said that according to normal cultivation speed, anyone like Su Han who was under three hundred years old was considered young.
Su Han chuckled and said, "Me? Just over twenty."
"Don't joke, speak properly..." Baili Qinyin didn't believe him.
Su Han said helplessly, "I'm really 20, just turned 20. I'm not lying to you."
Baili Qinyin immediately rolled her eyes and ignored Su Han. Instead, she pointed ahead and said indifferently, "Alright, it's right there. You stay in the open, I'll be in the shadows! You just queue up here. Everyone who wants to enter needs to be tested. Those with insufficient strength or those who have disguised themselves will be stopped by those old fellows. Also, remember, never conflict with those old fellows. Those guys are very powerful. Even in my peak state, I could only barely fight one or two of them..."
After hearing this, Su Han immediately looked ahead and saw several unkempt old men sitting listlessly under the shade of the trees in the distance. One of them was lazily testing every contestant who passed by, announcing their test results.
"Li Xiangmei, bone age 521, strength insufficient for Emperor level, going in is just seeking death. Retreat quickly!"
In the distance, a middle-aged woman who looked very delicate was stopped by the old man, who disdainfully told her to retreat.
However, this woman kept pleading to be allowed to enter.
"Venerable, please let me in. I'll fight for it even if I die. My cultivation has been stagnant for more than two years. I don't want to die, I want to continue breaking through..."
With a burst of crying, the woman almost knelt down to the old man.
But at this moment.
The old man beside her didn't even lift his eyelids, saying indifferently, "Go, this place is not suitable for you. Please seek opportunities elsewhere. If you dare to force your way in, I won't be polite!"
Upon hearing this.
The woman, seeing the situation, was extremely helpless. However, soon she saw that there were quite a few others in the same situation as her, many of whom were directly turned away.
Standing beside Su Han, Baili Qinyin chuckled and said, "See? This is Venerable Wuya, the guardian here. Unlike the other guardians, Venerable Wuya's strength is terrifying, and he is also impartial. Do not talk back to him later, or even I won't be able to protect you!"
Su Han slowly nodded, but his heart sank.
After all, he couldn't see through the strength of this old man before him. He felt that he was extremely mysterious!
As for bone age, Su Han wasn't too worried. Others might not be able to pass, but he definitely could. The only thing he needed to worry about was whether these old men announcing the results one by one would expose his secret.
As fast as lightning.
Soon, Su Han heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd ahead!
"Sun Lei, bone age 409, early Emperor realm!"
Hiss!
As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked and looked towards a young man in front of them. At this moment, they saw that the young man was handsome and unrestrained, very at ease, as if everything was as it should be. He was clearly a proud son of heaven.
To reach the Emperor realm at this age was already extremely difficult!
However, soon.
Someone even more impressive appeared!
"Xue Yajing, bone age 102, early Emperor realm!"
Gulp.
This time, everyone present gasped again. They had to admit that people really made others feel inferior. The previous Sun Lei was already very impressive, but this Xue Yajing instantly overshadowed Sun Lei upon her appearance.
To achieve Emperor realm strength at around 100 years old, without exception, they were all top-tier figures. Besides possessing great talent, they also needed the support of a powerful family!
And clearly, this Xue Yajing before them was a disciple from some prominent family.
"Alas, look at them, then look at us! It might be embarrassing to say, but I'm also 103 this year, just a year older than that young girl, but now I'm at the end of my rope. If I don't break through to the Emperor realm soon, my lifespan will be exhausted. Alas..."
"Who says not? We came here for a last gamble. If we succeed, we continue; if we fail, we'll be at peace. Anyway, I'm not afraid of death. It's all the same in the end!"
"Let's go, let's go! This time, no matter what, I'm going in, unless they kill me right here! I heard that by picking some herbs in the safe outer areas, there's a high chance of breakthrough. The immortal mansion is full of treasures, a bunch of flowers, a blade of grass, are all top-grade spirit treasures!"
