Qin Han Chu and A Xiang mingled with the crowd, overhearing the discussions around them.
In the span of a short while, so many renowned experts had appeared, demonstrating the immense draw of the Fenghua Banquet to powerful individuals.
"A mid-tier divine artifact might not be enough for such battles," A Xiang mused.
A Xiang's Seven Kill Prison Pagoda could not be openly used in front of so many people.
Even Qin Han Chu's Divine Blood War Spear couldn't be revealed here.
This Divine Blood War Spear was obtained from the ruins of a God Emperor, and many God Emperor level experts were aware of its origins.
If he were to reveal the Divine Blood War Spear, Qin Han Chu would soon be targeted by those previous God Emperors.
Furthermore, Qin Han Chu couldn't guarantee whether the Azure Moon Goddess had found his clone. If she had, she could immediately pinpoint him through the Divine Blood War Spear.
This was the heartland of the Ancient Dao Academy. If he were exposed here, Qin Han Chu, even with his God Emperor clone, would find it difficult to survive.
Qin Han Chu sighed, "Higher-tier divine artifacts are not so easily obtained. We can only try our best with mid-tier divine artifacts."
"Let's find an inn to stay in first. The Fenghua Banquet is still more than a decade away," A Xiang said.
Due to the Fenghua Banquet, all the inns in the city were fully booked.
Even though the room prices had increased severalfold, there were still no vacant rooms.
"Should we rent a house? Or perhaps build a cave dwelling outside the city and make do?" Unable to find an inn, A Xiang asked dejectedly.
"Let's head outside the city. We can return when it's time for the banquet to begin."
As the two were about to leave, Qin Han Chu suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Seeing Qin Han Chu stop abruptly, A Xiang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Sky Curtain God Venerable. Why is this guy here too?" Qin Han Chu looked ahead.
A Xiang followed Qin Han Chu's gaze and saw Sky Curtain God Venerable hurrying forward.
"We need to change our appearances," A Xiang said.
Sky Curtain God Venerable knew Qin Han Chu's identity, and he couldn't let him see himself.
Fortunately, the city prohibited the use of divine sense, otherwise, Qin Han Chu might have been discovered by him.
Qin Han Chu and A Xiang quickly left the area, not wanting their identities to be revealed by Sky Curtain God Venerable.
As the two arrived at the city gate, they saw a beautiful woman distributing flyers.
Seeing Qin Han Chu and A Xiang approach, she handed a flyer to Qin Han Chu, "Guhua City will host a Fenghua Auction in five years, where top-tier divine artifacts will be auctioned."
Qin Han Chu took the flyer and saw that it contained information about the main items at the Fenghua Auction.
Even the starting prices of these auctioned items were listed.
The best item was a top-tier divine artifact called the "Divine Emperor's Battle Saber."
According to the flyer, this Divine Emperor's Battle Saber was the battle weapon of a Divine Emperor.
Here, Divine Emperor was not a cultivation realm but a title.
In the God Realm, anyone who dared to call himself a Divine Emperor had to be an Ancestor-level expert.
Even if a God Emperor established his own dynasty, he would only dare to call himself Emperor, not Divine Emperor.
If he could obtain the Divine Emperor's Battle Saber, Qin Han Chu would have a greater chance of winning the competition.
However, the Divine Emperor's Battle Saber was too expensive for him to afford.
Besides the Divine Emperor's Battle Saber, there were also many rare God Emperor-level resources at the auction.
Putting away the flyer, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang left Guhua City.
In the eastern suburbs of Guhua City stood a scenic divine mountain, where Qin Han Chu and A Xiang built a temporary cave dwelling.
To avoid disturbances, A Xiang used a seal array disk to conceal the cave dwelling.
Due to Sky Curtain God Venerable, both Qin Han Chu and A Xiang had altered their appearances.
Shortly after they settled down, several other God Venerables arrived.
These God Venerables had the same idea as Qin Han Chu; they wished to stay here until the Fenghua Banquet began.
Qin Han Chu and A Xiang were the first to arrive, so they chose the best location.
These God Venerables also set their sights on Qin Han Chu's cave dwelling. As they were about to build their own, Qin Han Chu suddenly appeared before them. "This place is already occupied. Everyone, please find another location."
These individuals only wanted to find a place to stay, so there was no need to fight Qin Han Chu over a cave dwelling.
Without a word, they turned and walked to another location.
As Qin Han Chu was about to return to his cave dwelling, he saw Sky Curtain God Venerable flying towards this area.
It was clear that he was also here to find lodging.
"You don't mind me being your neighbor, do you?" Sky Curtain God Venerable had overheard Qin Han Chu's conversation with the previous God Venerables, which was why he asked directly.
If it were anyone else, Qin Han Chu would have refused, but Sky Curtain God Venerable was different.
Qin Han Chu wanted to find an opportunity to eliminate him.
However, this fellow had once received Bai Ze's blessing; he wondered if his luck was still so good.
"Suit yourself." Qin Han Chu returned directly to his cave dwelling.
Sky Curtain God Venerable landed not far away and then set up a simple thatched hut.
Like Qin Han Chu and A Xiang, he also set up an array to protect his hut.
In the following period, more and more God Venerables arrived.
With no room in the city, these individuals had to seek lodging outside.
This divine mountain was the closest to Guhua City, making it the preferred choice for everyone.
Unknowingly, three years had passed.
Initially, there were only a few dozen God Venerables residing here, but now hundreds of God Venerables had gathered.
"Fellow Daoists, our gathering here can be considered fate."
"The Fenghua Banquet has not yet begun, why don't we hold a resource exchange meeting here?"
"Through resource exchange, perhaps we can enhance our respective strengths."
"Those who are willing to participate can come to the mountaintop tomorrow morning."
On this evening, a man's voice echoed throughout the divine mountain.
A Xiang opened her eyes from her cultivation. "Shall we go take a look?"
"We can. We have nothing else to do anyway," Qin Han Chu replied.
Time flew by, and it was already the next morning.
Qin Han Chu and A Xiang left their seal formation and went to the mountaintop together.
Concurrently, Sky Curtain God Venerable, who was staying nearby, followed closely.
Many shared Qin Han Chu's sentiment, and soon, over a hundred people arrived at the peak.
"Since it's an exchange meeting, we must abide by the rules."
"If anyone breaks the basic rules of trade, then do not blame us for attacking them collectively."
"As the initiator, I will present my surplus items first. Anyone willing to exchange with me can come forward to negotiate the price."
The God Venerable who spoke had white hair and a youthful complexion. With a wave of his hand, numerous resources appeared.
Qin Han Chu's gaze suddenly became excited, for he spotted three banners among the man's resources.
These three banners were identical to the two Qin Han Chu had obtained previously.
They might be a set!
Qin Han Chu flew forward, pointing at the three banners, and asked, "Are they a set?"
"They are not a set, and can only be considered collectibles for now."
Qin Han Chu said, "May I see the runes on them?"
