The reason Jiutian Xuan Nu was willing to pay such a high price was also out of desperation.

When the Star Banner first appeared, everyone didn't realize its special significance.

But later, people began to spread the rumor that there was a secret hidden on the banner, which sparked a fierce competition among the Immortal Gods for the Star Banner.

By then, everyone discovered that someone had already taken action and seized the majority of the Star Banners.

Even if some Immortal Gods managed to keep one or two Star Banners, they still couldn't figure out any secrets on them.

It was only recently when Yu Yuan mentioned it that Jiutian Xuan Nu learned the secret hidden on the Star Banner was actually a treasure map.

The Star Banners were crafted by the Ancient Demon Court, and now that they were in Eastern Emperor Heaven, it was natural to connect the treasure map with the Demon Court's treasures.

It was exactly because of this consideration that she was willing to trade such a rare treasure as Taiyi Essence Gold in exchange.

"Since Daoist brother has spoken this way, then let's be friends and do half trade half giveaway… Sigh, I've taken quite a loss here."

While Yu Yuan spoke, he wrapped the six Star Banners in mana and sent them over, his face showing an expression of "I've taken a huge loss," which made Jiutian Xuan Nu furiously angry inside.

She checked the Star Banners and saw that when the seven Star Banners were brought together, the array patterns on them indeed formed a treasure map.

Well played!

Jiutian Xuan Nu cast a displeased glance at Yu Yuan and, while suppressing the urge to snatch back the Spiritual Objects, she didn't say a word and quickly flew away on her five-colored phoenix bird.

Watching her figure disappear, Yu Yuan seemed thoughtful.

This business seems quite good!

If he could attract a few more "wealthy and generous" "friends" like Jiutian Xuan Nu, then that would be absolutely perfect.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but secretly pull out two strands of hair and rub them into scraps while Yun Zhongzi was not paying attention, and threw them away.

Shortly after the two left, these two strands of hair instantly transformed into dozens of Daoists, flying in all directions.

In no time, the news that "the Star Banner contains a treasure map" and "spiritual treasures can be exchanged with One Qi Immortal for the Star Banner" spread far and wide within Eastern Emperor Heaven.

Within just half a day, the Immortal Gods continuously came to exchange Star Banners with Yu Yuan.

"Sigh, I forgot to caution Jiutian Xuan Nu, how could such a confidential matter be spread out?"

Yu Yuan pushed all the blame onto Jiutian Xuan Nu unwillingly.

Yun Zhongzi could only sigh helplessly and joined Yu Yuan in the "business."

He did not intend to exchange the Star Banners he had initially seized this way, but without trading, those Immortal Gods who came knocking might forcibly take them.

After all, the Immortal Gods who took the initiative to visit were Golden Immortals with profound Dao Xing, even some Taiyi Golden Immortals!

With the treasure map right before them, how could they possibly give up?

Yun Zhongzi also tried telling them that these treasure maps might be traps, but none believed it.

Eventually, the over one hundred Star Banners were reduced to just two sets totaling fourteen, to be kept just in case, and the rest were all exchanged for a heap of Spiritual Objects like Taiyi Essence Gold, Phoenix Blood Stone, Heavenly Sound Stone, and Fire Resistance Pearl.

However, although the Star Banners were sold out, Yu Yuan's business did not stop.

Soon, a group of unidentified Daoists began selling "treasure maps" copied onto stone slabs, exchangeable for common spiritual materials like thousand-year copper essence or Beiming cold iron.

Within just a few days, countless Immortal Gods were seen searching for "treasure sites" with their stone slabs.

Every time this scene unfolded, Jiutian Xuan Nu and others, who had spent a great deal to obtain the Star Banners, were so furious they almost bit their teeth to pieces!

This time, they suffered a huge loss!
