Not long after, Ye Chen awoke from his meditation.

There was still some time before the known day of the Pill Scripture's opening, so Ye Chen didn't plan to spend all this time meditating in the Treasure Pavilion. Since he rarely visited Pill Heaven City, he intended to take a good tour.

Not only is this place the Emperor City, but it also gathers the most alchemists in the entire Ancient Universe. The alchemists, rarely seen outside, are abundant here, countless in number, including those renowned throughout the Ancient Universe as alchemy masters.

In regards to this place, even Master Qingye from the alchemy inheritance mentioned it; if one were to discuss where the most powerful alchemists reside, it would undoubtedly be Pill Heaven City.

This gives a glimpse of its prominence.

Moreover, when he arrived, he discovered that there was a huge auction hall in Pill Heaven City, and according to some insider information, seemingly due to the proximity of the Pill Scripture, a particularly grand auction event would be held tonight.

There will be some extremely precious treasures auctioned, including some supreme divine medicines involved in refining high-level pills, which are exceedingly valuable and will attract many alchemy masters to participate.

Naturally, Ye Chen also needed to prepare as, even though he felt his chances of winning were somewhat slim, he still hoped to compete for the championship of the Pill Scripture, striving for the Pill Emperor Inheritance.

However, for now, it was not yet the time for the auction event to start, and Ye Chen learned that recently, a special venue in Pill Heaven City had opened, known as the Heavenly Exchange Square.

It's not an auction event but does have the Pill Realm and is a gathering place for major cosmic forces invited. Everyone can freely conduct various trades in the Heavenly Exchange Square, including some vital information, pill formulas, and divine materials. Naturally, heavenly kings, great powers, and other top-tier experts emerge there, making it lively and bustling.

For such a scene, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't miss it.

He left the Treasure Pavilion and directly headed to the Heavenly Exchange Square. Though named 'Square,' it was no less than an ancient city outside the Pill Realm, established in the west of Pill Heaven City, hanging in the Heavenly Dome, where countless experts gathered. Moreover, numerous people had set up stalls, displaying various rare treasures for sale.

There were refining divine materials like Star Blue Silver, Gouchen Secret Silver, Star Sand. There were Chaos Primordial Stones containing divine treasures, Cultivation Ancient Scriptures, Unrivaled Secret Treasures, and many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Here, even Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures are not uncommon, and some stalls even have medicine spirits with tens of thousands of years of medicinal age displayed, ready for sale, attracting the attention of many experts, making people deeply intrigued.

Ye Chen directly descended into the Heavenly Exchange Square, and while walking among them, he saw many strangely novel things displayed on various stalls, some of which indeed had an extraordinary charm.

The treasures traded here aren't solely related to the Pill Scripture; there are also numerous unique trades, like treasure map transactions, divine material negotiations, as well as exchanges involving Dao Realm and secret techniques. The scale is vast, and everything is available.

Moreover, powerful figures from the Pill Emperor Clan appeared among them, constantly ensuring the order of the Heavenly Exchange Square, allowing no one to cause disruptions, otherwise, the Pill Emperor Clan would implement severe penalties.

"Freshly made dragon meat buns, fragrant and sweet, absolutely authentic dragon meat buns!"

"Roast jiao dragon skewers—"

"Come try the thousand-year wing fruit candy haws—"

"Come quickly to see, selling a dragon cub with pure enough dragon blood within, one day having the chance to transform into a Pure Blood True Dragon, priceless value!"

"Hurry, treasures unearthed from the King's Ancient Tomb, very likely containing the supreme Daoist Scripture of an Ancient Monarch, priceless value, capable of creating a Supreme Sect to dominate a Star Domain, establishing an Eternal Dao!"

"Here is the King's Heavenly Bow of an Ancient Monarch. Back then, the Ancient Monarch Zhan Wuheng once used this heavenly bow to slay a real Ancient Monarch, unmatched in value!"

...

On the Heavenly Exchange Square, the voices were rising and falling, making Ye Chen feel like he had returned to his childhood days on bustling mortal streets, as if these cultivators in front were mere mortal vendors.

In fact, the Cultivation Realm and the Mortal World share no real difference. In the eyes of mortals, it seems lofty, yet it still possesses mundane existence, trades, vendettas, powers... all sorts of things, magnified countless times. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ye Chen walked past a stall, indeed seeing someone directly refining and shrinking a jiao dragon to a length of one yard, skewering it to roast with Dao Fire, emitting waves of roasted meat fragrance.

He also saw an entire Demon Saint level crocodile dragon directly chopped into pieces, becoming steaming meat buns...

To put it simply, the food here was extravagantly luxurious, leaving even Ye Chen somewhat dumbfounded.

"Boss, how much for the roast jiao dragon skewers?" Ye Chen asked.

"Not expensive, equivalent to the spiritual origin of a million jin of Spirit Stones!" the boss replied.

Divine Spiritual Origin, applicable even at higher levels of divine power.

However, Ye Chen frowned slightly, as although the roasted jiao dragon was indeed a real jiao dragon, it was merely a Half-Saint Rank jiao dragon, and his gaze was extraordinarily discerning, instantly seeing that the dragon blood within was very thin.

Yet, thinking about it, if the dragon blood were strong enough, this jiao dragon wouldn't have ended up being roasted; instead, it would have been nurtured, with a chance to evolve into a Pure Blood True Dragon.
