Soul Emperor Martial God

"Xiao Yi, young friend, I offer this item in exchange for the inheritance of the Blizzard Manor Master. What do you say?"

The Evernight Palace Master took out a jade bottle from his bosom.

At the same time, Han Cang approached.

"Kid, you've struck it rich, this is the incomparably precious Cold Ice Marrow."

"For a Martial Artist practicing the Cold Ice Dao, this item has an enormous effect."

"Inside this jade bottle, there must be at least an ounce of Cold Ice Marrow."

"Tsk, tsk, Evernight Palace Master, that's really generous of you."

Han Cang's tone was strange as he smiled at the Evernight Palace Master.

The Evernight Palace Master waved his hand and said, "No more, no less, just an ounce of Cold Ice Marrow."

"After all, Xiao Yi is a genius of the Sword Sect, I naturally cannot be stingy."

Many people around laughed.

But Xiao Yi's face had become slightly dark.

Lin Jin and others had cold expressions.

"An ounce of Cold Ice Marrow in exchange for the Blizzard Manor Master's Martial Arts Inheritance?" Xiao Yi scoffed.

"If the Evernight Palace Master does not wish to trade, I am not interested in selling either."

Cold Ice Marrow was indeed precious and beyond valuation.

Even on the rare occasion it was for sale, it was measured in 'ounces.'

An ounce of Cold Ice Marrow was worth over ten million ounces of silver.

But to think of exchanging it for the Blizzard Manor Master's Martial Arts Inheritance?

A low-level Heavenly Technique alone would cost far more than ten million ounces.

Not to mention a complete Martial Arts Inheritance.

With that, Xiao Yi intended to leave.

"Hold on," the Evernight Palace Master called out to stop him.

"Xiao Yi, you should know that you got the Cold Ice Marrow for nothing."

"You haven't lost anything; with such a good deal handed to you, do you really not want it?"

"Let's do this..."

The Evernight Palace Master, saying so, took out another jade bottle from his bosom and said, "I'll add another ounce, making it a total of two ounces. How about that?"

Xiao Yi remained silent and stepped aside, intending to leave.

Han Cang coldly said, "Xiao Yi, don't overdo it."

"Being too greedy can backfire on you."

"Exactly," several powerful individuals from major forces around them laughed coldly as well.

"The inheritance of the Blizzard Manor Master was something from our Extreme Cold Land to begin with."

"You got the inheritance for nothing, and now you even got the Cold Ice Marrow for free; what more do you want? Are you that greedy?"

The Evernight Palace Master gave a meaningful smile, "Xiao Yi, young friend, I think you understand what we mean."

"Two ounces of Cold Ice Marrow is the highest price we can offer."

"If you don't sell, you'll be at a loss."

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed; clearly, the major forces of the Extreme Cold Land had conspired in advance.

Within the relics of the Cave Mansion, the best inheritance was naturally that of the Blizzard Manor Master.

Besides that, the inheritances of other strong individuals from Snow Mountain Villa such as elders or past Manor Masters were equally precious.

For a Martial Artist to obtain one of these inheritances was already a huge gain.

Any subsequent sell-off would indeed be pure profit.

Thus, it was common to see 'bargaining' take place after the second round of the Ice Edge Conference.

And the participants usually chose to sell.

However, this bargaining would not be unreasonable.

It would be within a fair price range.

For Xiao Yi, the Blizzard Manor Master's inheritance was of little use.

If the price were right, he would have sold it long ago since keeping it was useless to him.

But the people before him were asking for too much.

"Greedy? Excessive?" Xiao Yi scoffed.

"This inheritance was obtained through a test, after braving dangers."

"It is also a piece of fortune that belongs to me."

"If I wish to sell, I will; if I don't wish to sell, then I won't."

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Yi's hand.

A book materialized out of thin air.

"This is the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Blizzard Manor Master, containing one Intermediate Heavenly Rank Technique and one Intermediate Heavenly Rank Martial Technique."

"The starting price is a hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow, and the highest offer wins."

Xiao Yi's words echoed throughout the snow forest.

In an instant, all the powerful figures were in an uproar.

"An Intermediate Heavenly Rank Technique and an Intermediate Heavenly Rank Martial Technique?"

"Hiss." The major powerhouses all sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes burning with even more frenzied desire.

But upon hearing "a hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow," their expressions shifted.

"A hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow?" Han Cang bellowed, "Xiao Yi, don't go too far."

"Do you know, even in the Snow Vein Land, only one pound of Cold Ice Marrow can be accumulated in a year."

"A hundred pounds? Are you mocking the Martial Artists of the Extreme Cold Land?"

"Mocking?" Xiao Yi's expression turned icy.

"Han Cang, when you previously led an assault against me, what was that?"

"If you want to call it mocking, then it is mocking."

With that, Xiao Yi turned to the Everday Palace Master and the others, "If the esteemed guests also feel that I am being unreasonable, you are not obliged to buy."

"Xiao Yi, you are really asking for the moon." The Everday Palace Master's face turned cold.

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled coldly and didn't respond.

Instead, he raised his arm, and a Sword Qi suddenly appeared in his palm.

"What are you trying to do?" The faces of the Everday Palace Master and the others changed drastically.

Xiao Yi gave a mocking smile, "Nothing much, just that I find this book to be of no use to me."

Saying so, the Sword Qi in Xiao Yi's hand instantly enveloped the book.

"Of course, I have already comprehended the Blizzard Manor Master's Inheritance and Martial Techniques."

"If you change your minds in the future and decide to trade, you can look for me privately."

"However, by then, you might have to seek me out at the Sky-splitting Sword Sect."

His resonant voice clearly entered the ears of all the powerful figures present.

As Xiao Yi moved his hand slightly, ready to act.

"Wait!" exclaimed the Everday Palace Master and the others, as their faces changed drastically.

Xiao Yi stopped the motion in his hand and sneered, "What, have you changed your minds already?"

The faces of the Everday Palace Master and the others were extremely ugly.

They were no fools and understood the implications of Xiao Yi's few words all too well.

Xiao Yi was telling them that their collusion was futile.

He might not sell now, but any power could seek him out privately for a trade.

The inheritance of the Blizzard Manor Master could greatly increase the strength of any power that obtained it.

It could instantly become the strongest Overlord Force in the entire Extreme Cold Land.

And possibly, given time, it would grow into another Snow Mountain Villa.

Although the major forces in the Extreme Cold Land had ostensibly joined forces.

No one could guarantee that they wouldn't seek out Xiao Yi privately for a deal.

Furthermore, Xiao Yi's last remark was also a veiled reminder to them.

Behind him stood the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, a Supreme Strong figure.

This put an end to any thoughts of forceful seizure on their part.

"Xiao Yi, I'll trade you a hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow," said a voice.

The speaker was the Ice Martial Sect Hierarch, a peak-level powerhouse no weaker than Duan Yun.

"One hundred and ten pounds." The Ice Flame Sect Hierarch's face changed, and he immediately spoke up.

"One hundred and twenty pounds," said the Snow Blade Sect Master, gritting his teeth as he made his offer.

The inheritance of the Blizzard Manor Master was enough to drive anyone mad.

"One hundred and fifty pounds." The Everday Palace Master, barely containing his anger, declared, "Xiao Yi, that's the most Cold Ice Marrow the Everday Ice Palace can produce."

"Are you satisfied now?"

Xiao Yi smiled, "Of course... I am not satisfied."

Xiao Yi's expression suddenly turned frosty, "Since you've changed your minds, I have suddenly changed my mind as well."

"This set of Martial Techiques will start at a minimum price of five hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow."

"Five hundred pounds?" The colour drained from the faces of the Everday Palace Master and the others, followed by a surge of rage.

"You little brat, you're courting death."
