379. The Sound Valley Dilemma
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, his expression showing some helplessness. It seemed that his journey had always been rather unsuccessful.
"Master of Brahma Valley, I wonder who currently possesses the Bodhi Transformation Essence? The price is negotiable!"
Xiao Yan's words did not cause a significant change in the expressions of the people from Yin Valley, though a hint of arrogance lingered in their eyes. The top powers on the continent were inherently hierarchical, and while Yin Valley and Xingyun Pavilion might seem only one tier apart, the true difference was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Clearly, they did not believe that Xiao Yan, from Xingyun Pavilion, could offer anything truly compelling enough to impress Yin Valley.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also presented the letter that Tang Zhen had given him to Fan Yin, who held the letter and seemed to be pondering something.
"Valley Master of Brahma Sound Valley, my master Yao Chen, the Venerable Medicine, I believe the price you offer will not disappoint Brahma Sound Valley!" At this moment, Xiao Yan also threw out all his resources in order to obtain the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
The moment the name Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable, was uttered, Xiao Yan felt the gazes of everyone present shift. Clearly, this was a figure of immense importance! Few dared to question Xiao Yan; all eyes were fixed on Fan Yin, awaiting her decision.
As the atmosphere remained tense, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the man among the two young men following the chanting. His mouth was slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt a cold gaze from the woman in yellow beside him, and the words remained stuck in his throat.
"Valley Master!!!" A cry of surprise came from outside the main hall, breaking the stalemate inside.
Most of the people in the main hall who heard the voice showed anxiety in their eyes, clearly knowing what it meant. Only the woman in yellow had a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes.
"Valley Master!" A disciple entered the main hall directly. "That person has arrived!"
Fan Yin nodded slightly: "Understood, tell him to wait a moment."
Xiao Yan exchanged a strange glance with Little Fairy Doctor. This disciple's overstepping of boundaries was, in principle, wrong, but no one present seemed to care. (Note: The people of Yin Valley had something more pressing to consider!) Xiao Yan immediately guessed that Yin Valley's refusal to contact the outside world was likely related to what was about to happen!
Fan Yin's beautiful eyes swept around the hall before she asked the indifferent-looking woman in yellow, "Are you confident?"
"If their information is accurate," the woman in yellow glanced at the man beside her, "it's a sure thing!"
Fan Yin nodded, then said to Xiao Yan, "After all, he is the disciple of the Medicine Venerable. Although we cannot trade for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, please invite everyone from the Starfall Pavilion to watch a competition."
At this point, Xiao Yan and the other three had no idea what was going on, so they could only listen to Fan Yin's instructions.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Qinglin asked anxiously, clearly worried about the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
"Let's see how it goes first," Xiao Yan replied with a hint of helplessness.
The Brahma voice only said that the Bodhi Transformation Saliva had a master, without directly stating that the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was gone, so he still had a chance! For Little Fairy Doctor, even if it meant forcibly taking it, Xiao Yan would never give up.
Xiao Yan subconsciously looked at Little Fairy Doctor, only to find that she was also looking at him. Little Fairy Doctor's gaze was still gentle, as if she was not worried at all. However, she was calm now, not indifferent to her own life as before, which reassured Xiao Yan a lot.
As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, Xiao Yan noticed that the only young man in the hall was a few steps behind the others from Yin Gu, as if he was deliberately waiting for the four of them.
The slightly dark-skinned man looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of excitement in his expression: "Greetings, Young Master Xiao Yan, I am Qin Tan!"
Xiao Yan was also a little puzzled: "Is something the matter?"
Xiao Yan remembered very clearly: this was the first time he had met Qin Tan, and he could tell at a glance that Qin Tan was a core disciple of Yin Gu, not a classmate he had never met at Canaan Academy.
"Brother Xiao Yan's feat of slaying Thunder Venerable is legendary. Qin Tan has always hoped to pay a visit to Starfall Pavilion after he has some free time. I never expected that Brother Xiao Yan would come to Sound Valley in person. I am so excited!" Qin Tan was also very excited as he spoke, rubbing his hands together and looking at Xiao Yan with admiration in his eyes.
Qin Tan's actions left Xiao Yan somewhat at a loss for how to handle the situation. After all, he had seen many arrogant young people of his generation, but such "enthusiasm" was truly a first for him.
He could tell from the beginning that Qin Tan, despite his young age, possessed the level of a five-star Dou Zong, making him a promising young genius that Yin Gu was focusing on cultivating. This personality was quite unexpected for Xiao Yan.
What surprised Xiao Yan even more was what Qin Tan said next.
"Brother Xiao Yan came for the Bodhi incarnation?" Qin Tan asked in a low voice.
A strange glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but he ultimately nodded. He had explained why he had come to Yin Valley in the main hall, and Qin Tan's feigned ignorance meant he knew something. Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten: Qin Tan had been preparing to say something to him in the main hall earlier.
"To be honest, this Bodhi Transformation Saliva has always been kept by the Valley Master," Qin Tan explained.
"Just half a month ago, something terrible happened in Yin Valley, and the Valley Master had no choice but to promise that thing to Qin Shiyin."
"Qin Shiyin?"
"Yes." Qin Tan raised his head slightly, indicating that Qin Shiyin was the woman in yellow following behind Fan Yin.
Xiao Yan never overlooked the woman in yellow from the start. After all, such a young nine-star Dou Zong was destined to become a Dou Zun in the future! Although Zhongzhou was full of geniuses, the woman in yellow was definitely a genius among geniuses!
"What happened in Guigu then?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Sigh." Qin Tan shook his head subconsciously. "It's embarrassing to admit, but someone actually broke into our Sound Valley's Arena, and no one even noticed!"
"We didn't realize that someone from Yin Gu had somehow sneaked in without us noticing until that person swaggered out outside the Arena!"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly as he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion. The name sounded somewhat familiar.
"Then that person decided to challenge all the younger generation in Yin Valley. As long as someone could defeat him, he would leave immediately."
Xiao Yan was becoming increasingly curious, but before he could ask any more questions, an arrogant voice drifted over from afar.
"Fan Yin, the fifteen-day period is over. Are you ready to admit that the entire Yin Valley is full of good-for-nothings?"
