"Twelve fangs of a late-stage first-order demonic beast, Sharp Fang Fish. They are used to refine low-grade magic tools. I wish to exchange them for two bottles of cultivation pills for the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Blood Refining Realm."
Lu Ping couldn't help shaking his head in disappointment as he watched a monastery disciple display his harvest from the trial. At the same time, he was exchanging for the cultivation resources he needed.
Originally, Lu Ping had held some hope for this trade fair. He thought he would be able to exchange for some of the things he needed. However, this trade fair only had a third of the participants, and all of them were displaying things that Lu Ping didn't need.
No wonder only eighty or ninety out of the hundred and fifty monastery disciples and outer sect disciples participated in the trade fair. That was especially true of the famous Ninth Layer Blood Refining disciples from the monastery and outer sect. Not even a single one of them showed up.
It wasn't that these things weren't good. After all, which disciple didn't have any harvest from the trial? Who would take out something that was unpresentable just to embarrass themselves in front of others?
However, Lu Ping was now rich. He had long since turned his nose up at these things that were considered precious by ordinary Blood Refining Realm disciples.
While the ordinary Blood Refining Realm upper echelon disciples were still haggling over a low-grade mystic instrument, a bottle of medicinal pellets, or dozens of spirit stones, Lu Ping had long set his sights on mid-grade mystic instruments, Blood Condensing Pellets, and other higher-grade items.
Just as Lu Ping was about to leave, a rather famous Ninth Layer disciple walked onto the stage. He took out a five-hundred-year-old spirit grass that was used to refine Blood Condensing Pills, causing the disciples below to gasp in surprise.
Lu Ping also straightened his back and listened attentively to this person's request.
"Concocting Blood Condensing Pills requires a five-hundred-year-old spirit grass, Fragrant Astringent Grass. I wish to exchange it for pills for the Ninth Layer of Blood Refining Realm. The higher the grade, the better."
An outer disciple who knew him couldn't help but ask, "Senior apprentice-brother Xu, why did you take out this spirit grass? If you have eight of them, you can exchange them for Blood Condensing Pills from our sect."
Senior apprentice-brother Xu looked at the crowd and smiled, "I already have some ideas about the Blood Condensing Pills. Now, I just need to improve my cultivation."
Senior apprentice-brother Xu enjoyed the envious gazes from the crowd. "Is there anyone who wants to exchange for it?"
The crowd finally regained their senses. It was clear how important the Blood Condensing Pills and the Blood Condensation Realm were to the Blood Refining Realm disciples.
Everyone started to estimate their own wealth to see if they could get this precious spirit grass.
"Senior apprentice-brother, can I exchange it with spirit stones?"
"Senior apprentice-brother, can I exchange it with other items of similar value?"
Senior Martial Brother Xu frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I only want medicinal pills. I don't need spiritual stones or anything else."
"Senior Brother, I have three bottles of Blood Cleansing Pills with a total of 30 pills. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it with Spirit Stones. How about that?" The disciple who spoke quickly borrowed Spirit Stones from the surrounding disciples.
"Blood Purification Pills? That's a pill used by cultivators in the Sixth or Seventh Layer of Blood Refining Realm. Senior Brother, I have three bottles of Blood Essence Pills and six bottles of Blood Purification Pills. What do you think?"
"I'm sorry, I need at least six bottles of Blood Essence Pills for the Eighth and Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm. Blood Purification Pills are of little value to me."
As soon as Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu finished speaking, the chaotic crowd quieted down. Only a few people were still borrowing pills from the surrounding disciples, hoping to gather the required amount.
Looking at the chaotic scene below the stage, Senior Brother Xu was a little disappointed. It wasn't that no one could afford this Spirit Grass, but the problem was that there weren't that many pills in such a short amount of time. Even if someone managed to gather all the pills, he was afraid that in the future, this person would not have enough pills, and it would affect his cultivation.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu, what do you think of this pill?" A seventeen-year-old disciple stood up and tossed a jade bottle to Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu.
Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu caught the bottle and opened it. His eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Junior apprentice-brother, how many of these pills do you have? If you have enough, I'll trade with you."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I was lucky to get this one bottle, but I can add three more bottles of Blood Essence Pills in exchange for Senior Apprentice-Brother's Fragrant Astringent Grass. What do you think?"
When Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu heard that there was only one bottle, he was disappointed. However, when he heard that Lu Ping could take out enough Blood Essence Pills, he was satisfied. He said, "In that case, this spirit grass is yours, Junior Apprentice-Brother."
When the crowd saw that Lu Ping had traded for a spirit grass, they were shocked by Lu Ping's wealth and wondered what kind of pills Lu Ping had used. One bottle was equivalent to three bottles of Blood Essence Pills.
Naturally, that bottle was the best pill for Blood Refining cultivators, the Blood Vigor Pill.
Lu Ping ignored the crowd's discussion and directly went up to trade with Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu. At the same time, he whispered to Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu, "I wonder if Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu has any more spirit grass to refine the Blood Condensing Pill? I can use six more bottles of Blood Essence Pills to trade."
Although Senior Apprentice-Brother Xu was shocked by Lu Ping's generosity, he could only smile helplessly. He said, "These spirit grass are not easy to obtain. I only managed to collect three of them before. Because I already know how to refine the Blood Condensing Pill, I used two of them to trade for a magic tool and a pill. This is the last one."
Helpless, Lu Ping could only return to his seat. Previously, Lu Ping had easily obtained five spirit grass to refine the Blood Condensing Pill, so he didn't think that these spirit grass were very precious. However, the craziness of the exchange this time shocked Lu Ping. Only now did he realize the true value of the five spirit grass he had.
But he had already obtained six of them, and the Blood Condensing Pill was just around the corner.
After the disturbance of the spirit grass, the exchange finally began to show some signs of improvement. Quite a few valuable items were placed on the stage, and the disciples below were all fighting over them. The atmosphere immediately became lively.
Lu Ping also felt that his horizons had been broadened a bit. As expected, there were quite a few people who had made great gains during this experiential training. Lu Ping was also quite interested in some of the items on display. Unfortunately, none of those items were of use to Lu Ping.
Finally, it was Lu Ping's turn to present his treasures. Everyone was looking at this monastery disciple who had obtained the Fragrant Astringent Grass. They all wanted to see just what sort of treasure he would bring out.
Lu Ping had originally come for the middle grade Enchanted tools, but by the time the exchange was over halfway, only a few low grade Enchanted tools had appeared. That made Lu Ping a bit disappointed. If he went up now to exchange for a middle grade Enchanted tool, then ignoring whether or not he would be able to obtain it, the attention he would gain would be too great. So Lu Ping changed his plans.
Lu Ping directly took out a wooden box from his storage pouch. Opening it, he revealed a stack of talismans. "Fifty high grade talismans. I hope to exchange them for iron of the same value!"
