As the strength of Lu Ping's divine sense grew stronger, the negative effects of teleportation became negligible. The moment the teleportation ended, Lu Ping sensed that there were eight or nine people who arrived at the same time. Li Xiuzhu said that there were several ways to reach the underground trade fair. The cultivators participating in the trade fair would be teleported in at different times and locations. They wouldn't know each other, and they wouldn't speak to each other. This way, they wouldn't expose their identities. Therefore, when Lu Ping arrived, he didn't know which of the eight or nine people was Li Xiuzhu or the Li Family's pill refiner. He could only be separated from the two.
The trade fair was built in an underground cave, but Lu Ping didn't know the exact location. It could be considered an underground place. There were only a hundred cultivators who could participate in the trade fair. Other than the recommendation from the three major clans, there were also fifty teleportation talismans sold in the name of the Northern Alliance. These talismans could only be sold to Late Blood Condensation cultivators on the three islands.
Each talisman was worth around a thousand spirit stones. A hundred thousand spirit stones would be used to invite a Core Forging Enlightened Master from the Northern Alliance to host the trade fair. It would also serve as a way of confirming that the trade fair was under the Northern Alliance's protection. It would also serve as a declaration of the Northern Alliance's sovereignty over the Three Islands.
However, after the talismans were sold, the Northern Alliance and the three major clans didn't have to worry about who would get their hands on the talismans.
Lu Ping chose a nearby seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the trade fair to begin.
About two hours later, several batches of cultivators arrived, bringing the total number of cultivators in the underground cave to around eighty to ninety. Lu Ping's divine sense moved, and he looked towards the center of the underground venue.
A divine sense pressure that only a Core Forging Daoist Master could possess instantly covered the entire cave, causing the relaxed atmosphere in the cave to become solemn. Nearly a hundred cultivators wearing black cloaks stood up and said, "Greetings, Daoist Master!"
A short and fat cultivator suddenly appeared in the center of the cave, as if he had walked a long way and was tired. He took out a small towel from his pocket and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He smiled at the crowd and said, "No need to stand on ceremony, everyone. I'm a cultivator from the Northern Alliance's Cicada Sect's Cicada Hall. I was invited to host the trade fair. I'm just here to watch the show. Everyone, feel free to do as you please."
After Enlightened Master Bi finished speaking, he took out a chair out of nowhere and sat beside the platform in the center of the cave. He was about to doze off when he seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly struggled to stand up from the chair and said, "I almost forgot that there's also the 'throwing a brick to attract jade' format. Sigh, it's not easy to earn spirit stones."
As Enlightened Master Bi spoke, he took out a jade box from his pocket and opened it. He placed it on the stone table in the center of the platform and said, "I was chased by a big bird on my way here, so I had no choice but to kill it. I'm quite lucky to have obtained nine Condensed Blood Pearls of the wood and wind attribute. Those who want them can exchange with 1,000-year spiritual herbs. I'll exchange one for 20 spiritual herbs for 20 spiritual herbs, and I'll exchange one for 4 spiritual herbs for the main ingredient. "Hehe, the precious spiritual herbs will be given priority, and the ones with the most quantity will be given priority. Let's begin!"
Enlightened Master Bi was indeed a Core Forging Enlightened Master. He immediately brought out nine Condensed Blood Pearls, attracting the attention of most of the cultivators in the cave. After all, most of the cultivators here were in the Late Blood Condensation Realm, so the Core Forging Realm was not far away for them.
Everyone started bidding according to their number. Not long after, three people had exchanged their 1,000-year spiritual herbs for four of the Condensed Blood Pearls.
Lu Ping was sitting at number 57, so it was not his turn to bid. He did not want the Condensed Blood Pearls at all, so he did not participate in the bidding. He already had a plan for Lu Ping to advance to the Core Forging Realm.
A moment later, another three Condensed Blood Pearls were exchanged. At this moment, the cultivators in the trade fair had increased the number of items exchanged to 25 spiritual herbs for supplementary spiritual herbs or 5 spiritual herbs.
Lu Ping was secretly speechless. These cultivators who participated in the trade fair were quite wealthy.
Zhenren Bi's Condensed Blood Bead set off a climax as soon as it appeared. He put away more than a hundred ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and close to twenty rare thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in satisfaction. He waved his hand for the others to come in order, then he sat on the chair and began to doze off.
With Perfected Being Bi's example, although the other cultivators could not compare to Perfected Being Bi's generosity, they still tried their best to exchange some of their important items. Hence, they were much less unreliable, making everyone feel that their trip was worthwhile.
The cultivator sitting at the first seat took out a top-grade magic tool and asked for some late Blood Condensation pills. If there were none, mid Blood Condensation pills would do.
This top-grade magic tool was worth about 40,000 spirit stones. If it was used to exchange for ordinary late Blood Condensation pills, it could be exchanged for about 10 bottles. If it was mid Blood Condensation pills, it could be exchanged for close to 20 bottles.
Although Lu Ping had some in stock, it was not enough for his own cultivation. Naturally, he would not exchange for it. Moreover, he did not lack top-grade magic tools at the moment.
In the end, this attack-type top-grade magic tool was exchanged for two bottles of late Blood Condensation pills, six bottles of mid Blood Condensation pills, and 20,000 spirit stones.
Following that, the cultivators on the stage displayed all kinds of spiritual materials, spirit ores, spiritual herbs, magic tools, pills, secret techniques, pill recipes, cultivation techniques, spells, and so on. Other than the spiritual herbs that appeared, Lu Ping was not interested in anything else. Thus, he did not gain much.
The nineteenth cultivator took out a jade box from his storage pouch and said, "It's very rare for us sea realm cultivators to encounter earth-attribute demonic beasts. I was fortunate enough to encounter a Fourth Layer Blood Condensation Realm pangolin demonic beast. After killing it, I obtained these four Condensed Blood Pearls from the tiger bloodline. I hope they can be exchanged for some Mid and Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivation pills or a top-grade fire-attribute defensive artifact."
Although earth-type yao beasts with tiger bloodlines were rare in the ocean region, there were not many cultivators who cultivated earth-type cultivation techniques in the ocean region. Thus, despite the rarity of the four Condensed Blood Beads, they were not that expensive. At most, they were worth around 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones. Using them to exchange for a top-grade defensive Magic artefact was somewhat of a stretch.
Seeing this, Lu Ping was overjoyed. Dabao had finally reached the peak of the early Blood Condensation realm. Initially, Lu Ping was still worried about him breaking through to the mid Blood Condensation realm. He had been collecting spiritual herbs to concoct the Barrier Breaking Pills for him. Now, all his efforts were in vain. Whether it was the foundation bloodline or the attribute of cultivation, these four Condensed Blood Pearls were suitable for Dabao's breakthrough.
At this time, someone had already sent a voice transmission talisman to the cultivator to discuss the matter. Lu Ping counted the mid-stage Blood Condensation pills he had on hand. Seeing that this person cultivated a fire-type cultivation technique, he specially picked out a few bottles of Blood Spirit Pills that he concocted using the fire-type Condensed Blood Spirit Pills. He hadn't used them because their attributes were incompatible with each other. Now, he could finally use them.
Naturally, Lu Ping wouldn't give away all the pills he had. Instead, he quoted a price of ten bottles of mid-stage Blood Condensation pills and 15,000 spirit stones. He specifically pointed out that five of the bottles were Blood Spirit Pills that were specially concocted for fire-type cultivators.
As expected, the moment Lu Ping's voice transmission talisman was sent over, cultivator number 19 replied, "Fifteen bottles of mid-stage Blood Condensation pills and 10,000 spirit stones. The more fire-type Blood Spirit Pills, the better. We can discuss further."
Lu Ping smiled faintly and replied, "I can only add two more bottles of pills and 12,000 spirit stones."
A few moments later, the cultivator on the stage declined the other cultivators who were bidding. Instead, he sent a voice transmission talisman to Lu Ping and said, "Deal!"
Lu Ping used a storage bag to store 12 bottles of pills and 12,000 spirit stones. The storage bag flew into the cultivator's hand. The cultivator scanned it with his divine sense and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. Then, he tossed the jade box in his hand to Lu Ping.
