After hearing Lu Ping's words, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng said angrily, "Kid, what do you know? At my level, things like hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones are easy to get. What's really useful are the things that can't be bought with Spirit Stones. Are you saying that the value of the Spirit Stones on you is higher than the value of other cultivation items?"
Lu Ping smiled embarrassedly and thought to himself, 'Of course not. I have five Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items on me. None of them can be measured by Spirit Stones. As for the other top-grade spiritual materials, there's no need to mention them.'
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng flipped his hand and took out ten superior-grade Spirit Stones. "That's all I have. I don't have any more."
Lu Ping chuckled and took the Spirit Stones from Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's hand. This time, Lu Ping had really suffered a heavy loss in order to refine the Bell Cauldron Pill.
Lu Ping was asking Perfected Liang Xuanfeng some questions about cultivation when he heard someone say from outside, "I'm a disciple of Skyrend. May I see fellow cultivator in the inn?"
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng smiled and said, "It seems that my cultivation breakthrough this time has caused quite a commotion. It seems that Skyrend didn't have any bad intentions by only coming to check up now."
Lu Ping rolled his eyes when he heard that and thought to himself, "Although your cultivation breakthrough didn't cause a celestial phenomenon, how many people would notice that the Spirit Qi within a few miles was swept away? What's more, although the pressure of your Divine Sense disappeared in a flash, it was a real aura of a late-stage Core Forging cultivator. Which cultivator would dare to disturb you in advance? "
By the time the two left, Chu Ting and Zhu Xuanmeng had already sent away Skyrend's disciple. Seeing that Liang Xuanfeng had come out of seclusion, they handed him a bright red invitation.
"Oh, it's a trade fair organized by the Sky Fissure Sword Sect on Silver Sword Island." Reverend Liang Xuanfeng glanced at the contents and said, "This Silver Sword Island sure knows how to pick a good time. When the Profound Heaven's Abode opened, many cultivators had benefited from it. Even now, there are still cultivators diving deep into the ocean to explore the ruins of the Profound Heaven's Abode. Many cultivators have also settled down on Silver Sword Island. This is the perfect time for the Sky Fissure Sword Sect to gather some Core Forging cultivators and organize a barter trade fair."
Three days later, Lu Ping, Zhu Xuanmeng, and Chu Ting followed Perfected Liang Xuanfeng to a teahouse operated by Skyrend.
The four of them walked up to the teahouse, and a cultivator from the Sky Fissure Sword Sect welcomed them with a smile. "It's our honor to have you here, Fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?"
This cultivator from Skyrend was a mid-stage Core Forging cultivator. Although he looked amiable on the surface, Lu Ping could still feel a vigorous and sharp power from him.
Perfected Liang Xuanfeng handed over the invitation and greeted them with cupped fists. "I don't dare. My surname is Liang!"
Then he turned around and pointed at Zhu Xuanmeng and the others. "These are our juniors. They want to see the world. Please forgive us for taking the liberty to come!"
The Sky Breaking Sword Sect cultivator saw that Lu Ping and the others were all in the Core Forging Realm, and Enlightened Master Liang Xuanfeng was a Ninth Layer Core Forging Realm expert. He didn't dare to slight them, so he quickly said, "It's fine. I'm very envious of the three of you for reaching such a high cultivation level at such a young age. Please come in and have some tea, there are still a few more who have yet to arrive."
Under the guidance of a boy, the four of them came to a rather large quiet room. A waiter served them high-grade spirit tea and the four of them sat down.
There were already several Perfected Masters in the quiet room. When they saw the four of them, especially Perfected Liang Xuanfeng's ninth-stage Core Forging cultivation, the cultivators in the quiet room nodded to show their goodwill. Perfected Liang Xuanfeng also smiled.
After another half an hour, several more Perfected Masters arrived. Only then did Lu Ping notice that all the cultivators attending the trade fair were at least mid-stage Core Forging. No wonder Perfected Liang Xuanfeng specially explained it to Perfected Master Skyrend at the entrance.
At this time, there were nearly thirty cultivators in the quiet room. Among them, nearly ten were late-stage Perfected Masters, and the rest were at fifth-stage or sixth-stage Core Forging. There were almost no fourth-stage Core Forging cultivators like Zhu Xuanmeng. As for first-stage Core Forging cultivators like Lu Ping and Chu Ting, they were the only ones present.
The two of them became the center of attention in the quiet room. If it wasn't for Perfected Master Liang Xuanfeng, who was a ninth-stage Core Forging expert, holding the fort, the two of them might have met with misfortune.
Just as Lu Ping was deep in thought, the cultivator who greeted them at the entrance of the stairs came in. He made a square salute and said, "Hehe, almost everyone is here. Thank you all for coming to participate in this barter trade fair. My surname is Jin, and I'm the shopkeeper of this teahouse. Two more senior brothers from my sect came to participate in this trade fair. They are Senior Brother Ming Jian and Senior Brother Huang Tingjian."
As soon as Perfected Master Jin finished speaking, two cultivators with huge swords on their backs walked in from behind the quiet room.
There were already people behind the quiet room? This was clearly out of the Perfected Masters' expectations. Except for Perfected Master Liang Xuanfeng, who seemed to have sensed it earlier, the way everyone looked at the two suddenly changed.
When Lu Ping probed with his Divine Sense, he immediately felt that the two of them were filled with sharp Qi, as if they wanted to cut Lu Ping's Divine Sense apart. Lu Ping could only see that the two of them were late-stage Core Forging cultivators. He hurriedly retracted his Divine Sense, only to discover that he wasn't the only one. Many other cultivators had also noticed this, and their faces turned ugly.
Perfected Master Jin acted as if he didn't see the expressions on everyone's faces. He smiled and continued, "The two senior brothers have gained a lot from the Heavy Xuan Cave. I hope we can get what we need from this trade."
As soon as Daoist Jin finished speaking, the eyes of all the cultivators lit up. Everyone knew that the Crystal Palace and Sky Fissure Sword Faction had obtained the greatest benefits from the appearance of the Profound Immortal's Abode. Sky Fissure Sword Faction had even cleaned out Patriarch Profound's storage room, obtaining an uncountable number of spiritual materials, magic artefacts and magic treasures. The legacy jade slips inside the Profound Immortal's Grand Hall had also been divided with Sky Fissure Sword Faction. Clearly, these two cultivators who had participated in the trade fair had gained a lot.
At this moment, Perfected Master Liang Xuanfeng's words suddenly sounded in the ears of Lu Ping and the other two. He said, "Don't reveal your gains from the Heavy Xuan Cave unless it's necessary!"
Before Lu Ping could think about the meaning of Perfected Master Liang Xuanfeng's words, he saw Skyrend's Perfected Master Ming Jian smile and say, "Since this trade fair is led by me, Skyrend, I'll be the first one to make a move."
As soon as Perfected Master Ming Jian finished speaking, a black iron block the size of a head appeared in his hand. He said, "This is a mutated second-class top-tier spiritual material, Green Hell Iron from the Heavy Xuan Cave. It's a top-tier spiritual material for making metal attribute magic treasures. I'm willing to exchange it with everyone here for a mutated wood attribute spiritual material of the same grade."
Although this piece of Green Hell Iron was only the size of a head, it actually weighed more than 500 kilograms. It was so light in Perfected Master Ming Jian's hand.
Perhaps a second-class mutated top-tier spiritual material was just a good item in the eyes of the Perfected Masters. However, this was Perfected Master Ming Jian's first time making a move. He had set a tone — if the items that the Perfected Masters used to trade were not as good as this piece of Green Hell Iron, they should not bring it out to embarrass themselves.
Lu Ping did have a mutated wood attribute spiritual material, but Lu Ping's Green Hell Iron was useless. Moreover, he was not proficient in smithing.
At this moment, a long-bearded Perfected Master sitting opposite Lu Ping said with a smile, "Daoist Brother Ming Jian, you're really generous. You've set the standard so high. The Old Man should exchange for something first. Otherwise, when everyone's treasures are revealed one by one, the Old Man will only be able to look at them enviously. He won't have enough bargaining chips!"
Perfected Master Ming Jian glanced at the old man and said with a smile, "So it's Daoist Brother Mu. You must be joking. The Mu family is a famous cultivator family in the East Sea. How could they be lacking in treasures? However, I wonder what kind of wood attribute spiritual material Daoist Brother is holding? "
Perfected Master Mu stretched out his hand and took out a lump of wood. Perfected Master Ming Jian's eyes lit up as if two sharp swords were shooting at the lump of wood in Perfected Master Mu's hand. He said, "It's actually the heart of a thousand-year-old locust tree. It's indeed a second-class spiritual material, but it's a lot smaller. I'm at a disadvantage if I exchange it with this piece of Green Hell Iron!"
Perfected Master Mu waved his hand and said, "Daoist Brother Ming Jian, look carefully. This isn't an ordinary thousand-year-old locust tree heart. The growth rings of this locust tree heart have already reached 1,500 years old. It's a top-grade tree heart. It's enough to exchange for this piece of Green Hell Iron."
"Oh?"
After hearing Perfected Master Mu's explanation, Perfected Master Ming Jian stretched out his hand and beckoned. The lump of wood flew towards Perfected Master Ming Jian. Perfected Master Mu didn't stop it. He just watched Perfected Master Ming Jian carefully examine the lump of wood in his hand with a smile.
After a moment, Perfected Master Ming Jian nodded and said with satisfaction, "It's indeed a 1,500-year-old locust tree heart. I'll exchange it. Please keep this piece of Green Hell Iron."
Next, several Perfected Masters took out the treasures they didn't need and exchanged them for the things they needed, just like in a Treasure Competition.
All kinds of spiritual materials, magic treasures, strange magic tools, medicinal pills, cultivation methods, and jade slips emerged one after another. It was an eye-opener for Lu Ping. Originally, Lu Ping thought that the many treasures he had on him were already considered extremely wealthy among the Core Forging Realm cultivators. But now, compared to these middle and late-stage Core Forging Realm cultivators, he was undoubtedly a frog in the well.
Just as Lu Ping was appreciating all kinds of rare treasures and listening to the cultivators' evaluation of these treasures, a fourth-layer Core Forging Realm female cultivator with the same cultivation level as Zhu Xuanmeng stood up and said, "This little girl's wealth isn't comparable to yours. I only have this bowl of spirit water. I want to exchange it for 20 3,000-year-old spiritual herbs!"
As soon as the female cultivator's voice fell, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Even Perfected Master Liang Xuanfeng and Perfected Master Huang Tingjian, who were sitting at the side with their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes and glanced at the water bowl in the female cultivator's hand.
"Jade Nectar Clear Water!"
"I can't believe it's this thing!"
Lu Ping looked at the bowl of spirit water in the female cultivator's hand. His expression didn't change, but his mind was already spinning.
"Twenty 3,000-year-old spiritual herbs is not a small amount!"
"Can Fairy Sun lower the price?"
One of the impatient cultivators asked.
Jade Nectar Clear Water was a natural treasure of the water attribute. Together with Fine Nectar Clear Water, it was known as one of the two great treasures of the world. It was extremely important for cultivators to quickly recover their True Essence and injuries. More importantly, these two treasures were essential for cultivators to cultivate various small water-attribute magical abilities, including the small magical ability that Lu Ping had cultivated to the first stage, the Three Pure Ones True Pupils!
