Chapter 89

This year’s Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly is indeed on a grand scale. The Flying Phoenix Hall is the most popular, which is beyond doubt. The Beast Taming Hall, Fire Cloud Hall, and Immortal Source Hall are not far behind. Everyone is always eager for spirit beasts, magical artifacts, and elixirs; no matter how many they have, they never feel it’s enough. There’s always room for improvement.

Although the Dao Guang Hall is not particularly popular, its standards are undoubtedly the highest. Those who wish to broaden their horizons and improve their standards will definitely visit the Dao Guang Hall.

The Lei Guang Hall... is completely ignored.

Of course, the Lei Guang Hall cannot be completely overlooked. Anyone lacking confidence can come here to find it. After a visit, they will immediately feel like a significant person.

Therefore, occasionally, disciples pass by here, enter with low spirits, and leave in high spirits.

At first, the Lei Guang Hall disciples could withstand the blows, but over time, they found it increasingly difficult. They originally wanted to showcase themselves, but with no one watching, what was the point?

Hu Jing and others were also quite anxious. They didn’t participate in this assembly for self-entertainment.

“Senior Sister Hu, there’s no need to worry. When the ancestors arrive, it will naturally become lively.”

Ma Tian’er was still confident. No matter what, she knew someone would come. Even if he didn’t, Tian’er had a way to make him come.

“The ancestors might not come either.”

“Don’t worry, I have a trump card. When the time comes, I can always attract one or two!”

Ma Tian’er smiled.

“Everyone, everyone, the Lei Guang Hall is offering a 20% discount on everything. Don’t miss out, come and take a look, it’s free to look!”

Zhang Xiaojian was working hard outside, trying to attract anyone he could.

A few passing disciples couldn’t help but laugh at Zhang Xiaojian’s appearance.

“Xiaofat, what’s worth seeing in your Lei Guang Hall?”

“The only value of the Lei Guang Hall is to give those lacking confidence a bit of it.”

“Haha, but we don’t need it.”

“I heard the Hundred Herbs Hall will offer a 10% discount on the last day of the assembly!”

“I’ve saved for two years to spend it all at once!”

“Sigh, that’s nothing. I’ve saved for five years, just to get a spirit beast, even a mediocre one. These days, it’s really embarrassing to go out with a low-level demon.”

“Come on, the spirit beasts in the Beast Taming Hall are highly sought after. I think you’ll need to save for ten years.”

“No matter what, I’ll try my luck.”

Wave after wave of people passed by, chatting and laughing, completely ignoring Zhang Xiaojian.

For the entire morning, the other halls became increasingly lively, while the Lei Guang Hall became increasingly quiet.

The physical cultivation disciples who were originally drumming sat aside, basking in the sun. Su Ming’s row of weapons sparkled in the sunlight, but no one was interested. As for the elixirs... would you dare to eat a Lei Guang Hall elixir even if it was given to you for free?

“How’s it going? Haven’t you attracted anyone yet?” Hu Jing saw the dejected Zhang Xiaojian and already knew the result.

Zhang Xiaojian had been struggling all morning and hadn’t attracted a single person. He couldn’t help but feel angry, “I don’t believe the other halls are really that good. Why don’t we go and take a look?”

Hu Jing, Ma Tian’er, and others exchanged glances. Zhou Qian sighed, “Let’s go and take a look. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses is good.”

Actually, Zhou Qian wasn’t participating in the Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly for the first time. From the beginning, he wasn’t optimistic, but he went along with Hu Jing and the others. Now it was time for them to face reality, even if it was a harsh blow.

“Where’s Wang Meng?”

“Don’t know. Someone seemed to be looking for him, and then he disappeared.”

“Let’s go first, then.”

The person who came to find Wang Meng was An Dao, one of the Four Tigers of Lingyin. When he saw Wang Meng polishing a pile of broken weapons, he was speechless but didn’t dare to show any disrespect. This was someone the Senior Brother and Li Tianyi valued, not to be taken lightly.

“Senior Brother Wang, please come this way.”

“Ah, aren’t we going to your Lingyin Hall?”

“Haha, Senior Brother and Junior Brother Li think you won’t be interested in those things. They want to show you something special.”

An Dao smiled mysteriously.

“Oh, what special thing? You’re not going to sell me, are you?”

An Dao couldn’t help but laugh, “Senior Brother Wang, you really know how to joke. You’ll see when you get there.”

Li Tianyi and Mingren were already waiting, along with the other three of the Four Tigers of Lingyin.

“Tianyi, showing the Five Absolute Sword Formation to an outsider... it seems a bit...” Mingren still felt it was a bit too much. This would not sound good if it got out.

“Senior Brother, when did you become so fussy? The Five Absolute Sword Formation is excellent, but it was broken by the Dao Guang Hall. I can identify the problems, but I can’t solve them. Let him take a look; there might be unexpected gains.”

Li Tianyi said, looking into the distance. Why is he so slow?

“Junior Brother Li, is Wang Meng really that strong? He seems like an ordinary person to me.”

Li Tianyi smiled, “We’ll see. Besides, if he’s just an ordinary person, it won’t matter if he sees it. There’s no loss.”

Li Tianyi was very confident. What’s so exciting about the Hundred Treasures Hall Assembly? So many people are making a fuss over such a boring event. Why bother?

The four senior brothers were at a loss. Everyone liked Li Tianyi’s straightforward personality, but sometimes he could be quite capricious. Since everyone protected him, they would go along with his antics.

While Wang Meng was on his way, Hu Jing and others had already started their tour. They didn’t go to the Dao Guang Hall but started with the Hundred Herbs Hall. The Hundred Herbs Hall was bustling with people, displaying various spirit herbs. The same variety of herbs from the Hundred Herbs Hall was at least 20% more effective, directly improving the efficacy for alchemists. Some materials could ensure a higher success rate. Even the most ordinary spirit grains were more potent than those from other halls, making them the best for feeding spirit beasts. Some high-level spirit beasts were very picky and wouldn’t eat inferior spirit grains.

The Hundred Herbs Hall rarely had priceless treasures, but everything was expensive. You could choose not to buy if you didn’t have spirit stones, but almost every disciple had used something from the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Hu Jing, an alchemist, was very excited as she looked around. If it weren’t for the immortal herbs Wang Meng had sent, her alchemy skills might have stagnated. However, alchemy was indeed very difficult. She had only reached the second level of alchemy fire, with a success rate of about 40% for second-grade elixirs.

The Hundred Herbs Hall was not too discouraging. If you had money, they would sell to you; if you didn’t, you could still look around. It wasn’t too stimulating.

But after seeing the Beast Taming Hall, there was a strong urge to bury one’s own low-level demon. The various spirit beasts lined up in the Beast Taming Hall were incredibly impressive. These spirit beasts included both innate and cultivated ones. The Beast Taming Hall had its own cultivation methods to raise and improve spirit beasts, so they didn’t need to compete with others. They were invincible as long as they did their best.
