Rumbling sounds came from a grand hall as a black vortex appeared in the middle of the hall.
This whirlpool was a Void Channels created by a transfer array. A moment later, several figures charged out of the whirlpool.
It was Lin Hao's group from the Giant Palace City.
This place was where the main Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Dongyuan Realm Pavilion was located.
"Pavilion Master Yue, it's been five years. How have you been." A middle-aged man with an extraordinary presence and strength around the Elemental Emperor Stage laughed heartily. This was the Deacons that was responsible for receiving people from various places to participate in the competition.
cupped his hands and laughed: "It's been five years since we last met, Deacons Zhang's demeanor is still the same. Although it's a bit late, I, Yue Shan, still have to congratulate Deacons Zhang for breaking through the Elemental Emperor Stage Cultivation Level."
Deacons Zhang waved his hands and smiled: "I was merely lucky enough to break through. Let's go, we've already arranged our residences, I'll bring you guys there now."
Yue Shan nodded his head, and then the group followed Zhang Deacons, and walked out of the Teleportation Palace, and quickly arrived at the place they were staying.
The courtyard was arranged in an orderly manner. It seemed to be very exquisite, with many inconspicuous decorations that were in fact extremely precious items.
"Pavilion Master Yue, if there's anything you need, feel free to look for me. I'll head back to the Teleportation Hall to wait for the others." Zhang Deacons said.
Yue Shan nodded his head, and said: "Deacons Zhang will first go and busy yourself with the matters on hand, after you are done, we will find some time to properly reminisce about the old days."
After this Deacons Zhang left, Yue Shan looked at Lin Hao and the others, and said: "There's still about half a month before the competition officially begins, so all of you can move freely these past few days, but remember one thing, even though this Baohua City was established by our Pill and Treasure Pavilion, with Pill and Treasure Pavilion as the leader, there are still hidden talents here, so when everyone is moving freely, you should still be cautious."
After talking for a bit, Yue Shan told everyone to go back to their own rooms to have a good rest.

After resting for a while, Lin Hao walked out of the house, left the Pill and Treasure Pavilion Great Hall, and walked through the busy streets of Baohua City.
The Genuine Martial Realm was divided into six great domains, and this Eastern Domain had eighteen realms. The Eastern Origin Realm was one of those eighteen realms.
Baohua City was established by Pill and Treasure Pavilion, thus, it could be said to be the biggest Pills and treasure trading center in the entire Eastern Origin Realm.
On the streets, people were passing by, and many of the people who looked normal were likely to be powerful practitioners with strength that was not weak. Lin Hao only needed a moment to walk around, before he discovered that there were no less than ten experts in the Elemental Emperor Stage who were concealing their auras.
Other than the Pills s' treasures that were being sold in the Pill and Treasure Pavilion, there were also many other special places that sold Pills and treasures.
Lin Hao had long ago investigated and found out that there was a Free Exchange Market here. Every day, there would be a large number of warriors entering and exiting the Baohua City, and every warrior could sell or purchase items there.
After Lin Hao found the person in charge of this place and paid the ten Superior Grade Source Stone s, he had the qualifications to enter. He then spent ten Superior Grade Source Stone s to buy a mask that could block people's line of sight and change his own presence.
A mask was a way to protect those who trade in the center of the Free Exchange Market. After all, if the human heart is negative, if the identity of those who trade in the city square is revealed, it might attract the attention of some ill-intentioned people.
Of course, it was everyone's freedom to buy a mask to hide his or her identity.
Some people, relying on their powerful backgrounds or their overwhelming strength, simply disdained wearing this sort of mask.
Lin Hao kept the mask in his storage ring and for the time being, he had no plans to use it.
When he was outside, he saw that the Free Exchange Market was only in a single pavilion, but after he entered, he discovered that there was another world inside.
With a single glance, Lin Hao could tell that this Free Exchange Market was actually a spatial treasure refined from a spatial fragment. No wonder the Pill and Treasure Pavilion allowed the existence of this extremely large market.
In this marketplace, the transaction was entirely up to both parties. They could not force anyone to buy or sell anything. Moreover, if they misjudged this place and bought the wrong things, they could not help but regret it.
Therefore, many people liked to come to this market because the items here were much cheaper than those in the outside world. Secondly, if one had good eyesight and luck, one might be able to exchange for extremely valuable items at a very low price.
After all, Genuine Martial Realm had existed for far too long; there were far too many secrets in the world.
Someone once used a mid-ranked Essence Stone to trade for a page of dilapidated scripture, and obtained a set of Sky-Rank cultivation method from it … There were also some people who bought seemingly ordinary ores at an extremely low price and refined them into the divine materials needed to refine Divine Instrument.
This kind of thing, although part of it was because the Free Exchange Market was adding oil to the fire, in reality, quite a few people had appeared.
Of course, there were even more people who spent a huge amount of money to buy something that seemed extremely precious, only to find out that it was just trash …
Before Lin Hao had even arrived at the Baohua City, he was already familiar with this information. Thus, right after arriving at the Baohua City, he arrived at the Free Exchange Market.
With his experience and the True Eye of Martial Arts, this Free Exchange Market, to Lin Hao, was simply a huge treasury!
Lin Hao who was not wearing a mask walked in the marketplace, many people felt that he was just a reckless teenager, who came to the trading market to watch the show, thus, no one paid attention to him.
Lin Hao wandered around for a while, then stopped at a small stall. The owner of the stall, on the other hand, was carefully wearing a mask that hid his identity.
He saw Lin Hao looking around in front of his stall without saying a word. After all, in his opinion, Lin Hao was only here to watch the show, not to buy anything.
The items on the stall were arranged in a disorderly manner. Most of them were broken and tattered.
Lin Hao could tell that most of these things were actually caused by some sort of special method. The reason why they were made into such a state was so that people would fall for it.
After all, in this bazaar, there was already a pattern. The more damaged something was, the more of a background it might have …
Lin Hao's gaze swept across this stall a few times, and then picked up a piece of metal, and said: "This, how much?"
The vendor shot a glance at Lin Hao and said: "This was obtained from a secret realm ten years ago. A hundred Superior Grade Source Stone."
Lin Hao laughed. In actuality, this piece of metal was just ordinary profound iron, with a maximum value of not more than ten Superior Grade Source Stone s. This piece of metal was completely useless to Lin Hao, so even if it was just a piece of Superior Grade Source Stone, Lin Hao would not take it.
However, Lin Hao opened his mouth and said: "A little less."
