"Very well! Since it is a duel, there should be some stakes on both sides! I will use this piece of Taibai Golden Essence as the stake. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao has any equivalent bet?"
Since the duel had been agreed upon, the young cultivator from the Three Mountains Sect was no longer polite and took the initiative to propose that both sides wager an item.
Taibai Golden Essence belonged to the element of metal and was extremely sharp. Even though the Tian Yuan Realm was rich in resources, it was still an extremely rare and precious material.
Ordinary magic treasures like swords and sabers, when mixed with even a grain of rice-sized piece, would greatly enhance their sharpness.
Yet, the piece the Three Mountains Sect cultivator took out now was as large as a walnut.
Such a large piece made even He Ling's eyelids twitch involuntarily.
He had not expected this fellow to produce such a rare material, otherwise, he would have exchanged for it beforehand.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao has any treasures of equivalent value. If not, I suggest we exchange for something else."
Xiao Fei looked at the Taibai Golden Essence before him, his eyes also filled with desire.
He had two demon dragon skeletons that he planned to refine into magic treasures, but the materials were not yet complete.
If he could obtain this piece of Taibai Golden Essence now, it would almost complete the set.
However, he indeed did not have many treasures of comparable value, and he was reluctant to part with most of them.
After much thought, the only thing he could offer was ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. He had many in his space, so he wouldn't feel the pinch.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fei reached into his storage bag, his consciousness entering his space, and selected a White Jade Spirit Ginseng that had grown for over ten thousand years.
White Jade Spirit Ginseng was a healing medicine, even rarer than ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that improved cultivation.
If he were in the Eastern Continent, his ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would surely cause chaos in the cultivation world.
However, here in the Tian Yuan Realm, where spiritual energy was abundant and spiritual herbs were more numerous, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were still rare, but not enough to cause widespread chaos.
With his current identity as a disciple walking the world from a reclusive great family, offering a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb should be considered quite normal.
The young cultivator from the Three Mountains Sect saw that Xiao Fei indeed produced a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb as he had expected, which exceeded his anticipated target.
After both sides presented their treasures, they began to prepare for the duel.
"Did the Three Mountains Sect send you to fight me?"
Staring at the young man before him, Xiao Fei showed a hint of disdain. This person had once gathered a large group of people, including four Nascent Soul stage cultivators, to hunt him down.
However, it resulted in Xiao Fei killing two of them, and he could only escape successfully in the end.
"A defeated general, how dare you speak of bravery? Naturally, it is not me, but a senior brother from my sect."
The young cultivator from the Three Mountains Sect smiled confidently. He was not foolish enough to seek humiliation when he knew he couldn't win.
...
The Thousand Crane Sect naturally had its own dedicated martial arts arena, suitable for daily duels and sparring. It was protected by formations, so there was no need to worry about destroying the mountain gate.
At this moment, Xiao Fei and a disciple from the Three Mountains Sect in the Nascent Soul stage stood simultaneously on a high platform, surrounded by protective formations.
Below the platform, disciples of the Thousand Crane Sect had already gathered in layers. Hearing that Xiao Fei was going to duel with a disciple from the Three Mountains Sect, everyone dared to come and watch.
Xiao Fei looked at the disciple from the Three Mountains Sect before him. His cultivation was at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he was tall and strong, a minor realm higher than Xiao Fei.
"Duel... Begin!"
Before the temporary judge's voice had even finished, the two cultivators had already unleashed their strongest techniques and charged at each other.
The tall and strong cultivator from the Three Mountains Sect actually produced a spiritual treasure. This treasure possessed its own laws and transformed into countless raindrops in the air, scattering towards Xiao Fei.
The raindrops conjured by his treasure appeared ordinary, but in reality, each drop contained immense power.
A single drop could kill a cultivator in the Core Formation stage and severely injure a Nascent Soul stage expert.
At this moment, a giant bronze bowl appeared before Xiao Fei, protecting him tightly.
After the first round of confrontation between the spiritual treasures unleashed by the two, neither side gained a temporary advantage.
After blocking this attack, Xiao Fei fully unleashed his domain of laws, covering more than half of the martial arts stage.
His domain did not stop there; it continued to advance towards the tall and strong man from the Three Mountains Sect.
For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, as long as they could trap their opponent within their domain of laws, they would almost have them at their mercy, making victory unfair.
The cultivator from the Three Mountains Sect also unleashed his own domain of laws, clashing fiercely with Xiao Fei's domain.
After fighting with spiritual treasures, they fought with domains, and after fighting with domains, they fought with divine abilities and spells, and then continued to fight with spiritual treasures...
It seemed the Three Mountains Sect had come prepared this time.
The tall and strong man on the opposite side, in addition to that spiritual treasure, would also occasionally produce some single-use treasures with immense power.
Although Xiao Fei could teleport and his laws were stronger than his opponent's, he did not gain any advantage. The two fought to a draw, unable to separate themselves.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
Just then, Xiao Fei laughed to the sky, and his domain of laws suddenly seemed to have taken a great tonic.
His domain of laughter rapidly expanded, pushing the domain of laws of the Three Mountains Sect cultivator into a corner, and it was still expanding.
Most Nascent Soul stage cultivators could only comprehend one Heavenly Law to an introductory level; no one would possess two laws simultaneously.
But Xiao Fei was different. He could obtain laws from his space, which was much easier than for other cultivators, and he comprehended them more deeply.
He now possessed two laws simultaneously, and had opened up domains of laws for both.
When he hid his domain of laws of gathering and scattering within his domain of laughter, and unleashed both laws at the same time, he quickly forced the Three Mountains Sect cultivator into the corner of the martial arts stage.
"I surrender!"
Fearing that Xiao Fei might deliberately miss and kill him, the tall and strong cultivator quickly surrendered loudly.
In this way, it was indeed difficult for Xiao Fei to continue his attack.
"I concede!"
The duel between the two sides ended with Xiao Fei's victory, and he successfully obtained the piece of Taibai Golden Essence from the Three Mountains Sect.
"Our grievances are now settled!"
After taking the treasure, Xiao Fei uttered a sentence and turned to leave.
In fact, he was a little puzzled about what these two were up to.
He always felt there was a hidden agenda, and that this rare Taibai Golden Essence was obtained too easily, as if the Three Mountains Sect had deliberately sought an opportunity to give it to him.
He could only take things one step at a time for now.
Xiao Fei returned to his cave dwelling and immediately went into seclusion to sort out his gains during this period.
He reviewed the information on the jade slips, then categorized and collected them.
With the acquisition of the Taibai Golden Essence this time, he planned to start refining those two demon dragon skeletons.
