Time had passed; three hundred years had gone by.
The Zixiao Marketplace, controlled by Zixiao Palace, bustled with merchants and travelers.
Zixiao Palace planned to hold a large auction for Void Refining Cultivators, offering many treasures that attracted numerous cultivators and promoted the prosperity of the Zixiao Marketplace.
A streak of cyan Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon and, with a flicker, halted, revealing a bronze beast carriage shimmering with ceaseless Spiritual Light.
Two men and two women stood in the carriage, Shen Long and Chu Buyu among them.
"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, we have arrived at the Zixiao Marketplace,"
a handsome, green-robed young man said with a smile.
"If we hadn't encountered Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu this time, our lives would have been lost,"
a slender girl in a golden dress said gratefully.
"Daoist Friend Zhang and Fairy Zhang are too polite, it was but a small effort,"
Shen Long said nonchalantly.
