As long as an alchemist had the status of a grandmaster, no matter how high or low his cultivation level was, he would have the qualifications to be on equal footing with Dharma adepts in the cultivation world.
Lu Ping's identity as an alchemist grandmaster was revealed through the pill fragrance that was condensed on his body. No one, including Qing Li and Laozu, spoke a word. They could only watch as Lu Ping disappeared behind the small house in the distance and blended into the crowd of cultivators.
Lu Ping's Divine Sense carefully combed through his body, including his black clothes and cloak. He found that there were no secret marks or secret techniques left on his body. Only then did he feel relieved and began to browse the rare treasures in the small houses on both sides.
Lu Ping first used two mystic mid-grade feys to exchange for four types of extremely famous poisons in the cultivation world. This time, he used twelve drops of Wonder Dew to exchange for the Skeleton Flower. Lu Ping did not have much Wonder Dew left in the Myriad Poison Serum. He needed to use more poisons to fuse with the Myriad Poison Serum. At the same time, it could be used to upgrade the Myriad Poison Meteorite Energy Shield. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Immediately after, Lu Ping found a bottle of Green Sea Snake venom in the Crystal Palace. The price was actually a low-grade earth-grade fey.
Lu Ping could see that this was the life venom of a wood-type spirit snake that had reached the Dharma stage. The Crystal Palace and the Green Sea Snake were the two major hostile forces in the East Sea. It was not surprising to see the venom of the Green Sea Snake in the Crystal Palace.
Using an earth-grade fey to exchange for the Green Sea Snake venom, Lu Ping found that the four drops of Thunder Calamity Water in the Crystal Palace still needed to be exchanged with the Purple Crystal Royal Jelly. Thus, he did not bother with it anymore.
Out of the Crystal Palace, Lu Ping quickly found that he was actually being followed.
However, to Lu Ping's surprise, the person following Lu Ping didn't seem to hide his tracks. He just followed behind Lu Ping at a distance of thirty feet.
Now that he knew that the Profound Sky Sect had set up a formation in the underground palace that could appear at any time to stop disputes between cultivators, Lu Ping did not fear that the people following him would have any evil intentions.
After arriving at a secluded place, Lu Ping saw five people on his left and right, so he turned around and looked at the people who had been following him from outside the Crystal Palace.
The person who was following him hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Lu Ping. From the person's figure and aura, Lu Ping quickly determined that the person was a Dharma adept.
Although the Profound Sky Sect's formation was a deterrent, Lu Ping did not dare to be careless. Who knew if the person in front of him was one of the Dharma adepts that Lu Ping had met when he was exchanging for the Skull Flower? If that was the case, this person's methods would cause Lu Ping to be alarmed. Previously, Lu Ping had carefully checked his entire body, but he did not find any secret marks or anything like that left behind. So how did this person discover him?
"You exchanged for a portion of the Green Sea Snake's Natal Snake venom in the Crystal Palace?"
The person who had come was straightforward and spoke with a woman's voice. She walked in front of Lu Ping and spoke to Lu Ping.
The body that was hidden behind the black cloak gave Lu Ping a strong feeling. It was as if the person in front of him was a poisonous snake hidden behind the cloak, looking for an opportunity to bite him at any time.
Lu Ping did not know how this person knew that he had the Green Sea Snake venom in his body. However, the person who came was obviously not the practitioner who had coveted the Skull Flower. Lu Ping did not deny it, but nodded and said in a low voice, "That's right. How did you know?"
"Do you want to care about this? I want this snake venom. Name a price. Are you going to use a spiritual item or something else?"
The practitioner said coldly.
Lu Ping seemed to be staring at her through the cloak, but he did not say anything.
After a while, the practitioner in front of him was indeed at a loss. When she opened her mouth again, there was some impatience in her tone. She said, "I know that you used a low-grade Earth-level spiritual item to exchange for the snake venom. How about a mid-grade Earth-level spiritual item?"
Lu Ping suddenly said, "You are Chu Hailan?"
After entering the underground palace, every cultivator wore black clothes that covered their figures. In order to avoid being recognized, cultivators naturally did not use their own voices to talk. However, Lu Ping was confident that the person in front of him was the female cultivator of the Fire Snake Sect, Chu Hailan, whom he had met in the dense forest that day.
Sure enough, the cultivator whose identity had been exposed by Lu Ping was shocked. Then, he sneered and said, "So you are the North Sea cultivator in the dense forest, Lu Xuanping. It's really a small world!"
Lu Ping smiled silently and said, "You are quite capable. You were actually able to sneak in here without being discovered by the cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Sect."
"It's none of your business!"
Lu Ping did not take it seriously. He just continued to say, "If I were you, I would not reveal the Demon Transformation Bracelet on my wrist outside my sleeve. Fortunately, the cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Sect you met did not recognize this treasure of the Spirit Beast Sect. However, are you not afraid that I will reveal your identity? How dare you come here to make a deal with me?"
Chu Hailan moved and covered the silver bracelet on her wrist with her clothes. Then, she giggled and said, "Well, you can tell others. Don't forget, if worse comes to worst, I will also publicize the fact that you adopted the Green Sea Snake!"
Lu Ping felt a little funny and said, "Well, I want to see if you, the Spirit Snake Demon Cultivator, will die first or if I will be found first!"
Chu Hailan snorted coldly and said no more. Then, she heard Lu Ping said, "You came here following the aura of the Natal Snake venom?"
Chu Hailan said in a low voice, "Yes!"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "The Natal Snake venom seems to be very important to you. However, the Crystal Tower does not prevent all the cultivators from entering and exiting. Since you can enter the underground palace, why don't you go and exchange for it?"
Chu Hailan seemed to be tired of Lu Ping's constant questions. However, now that she had something to ask of Lu Ping, she had to be patient and let Lu Ping ask questions.
"The Crystal Palace and the Green Sea Snakes have been blood enemies for generations. They have a secret treasure that can easily discover my identity within a certain distance."
"Oh," Lu Ping said, "I see. It seems that you attach great importance to the Natal Snake venom of the Green Sea Snake, and you can use some special means to determine its location. Well, in this case, you followed the cultivators of the Crystal Palace all the way to the Middle Mainland without being discovered. It must be because of this Natal Snake venom, right?"
Chu Hailan said impatiently, "Since you already know, why are you still asking me? Tell me, do you want to exchange for the venom or not!"
Lu Ping smiled silently and said, "I just want to confirm it. But you also know that my protective Gang Qi is the Innumerable Poison Meteorite Power Gang. The enhancement of this Gang Qi requires all kinds of poisons. This Natal Snake venom is very useful to me!"
"A Middle Grade Earth Rank Spiritual Item!"
Chu Hailan interrupted Lu Ping and said resolutely.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping shook his head with a smile.
Chu Hailan's face changed, and she said, "Two Middle Grade Earth Rank Spiritual Items. Lu Xuanping, don't be greedy. You should know that this venom can only enhance the strength of your Gang Qi at most. It won't enhance the grade of the Innumerable Poison Meteorite Power Gang. You can find a venom with a higher essence!"
Lu Ping laughed and said, "When did I say that I won't exchange with you?"
Chu Hailan's face relaxed, and then she became vigilant again. She said, "What do you want?"
Lu Ping took out the bottle of venom from his Storage Celestial Device and said, "How about we split this bottle of venom equally?"
Chu Hailan's expression changed indeterminately, and she seemed to be struggling in her heart. After a short moment, she said, "Alright, what do you want? Could it be that you want to give me half a bottle for free?"
Lu Ping withdrew another jade bottle from his Storage Celestial Device, and he evenly divided the venom into two before Chu Hailan. After that, he raised his head to look at Chu Hailan and said, "Of course I won't give it to you for free. It's easy if you want this half of the venom. You just have to exchange it with half of your own venom!"
Chu Hailan came to a sudden understanding, and she chuckled. "So that's what you're thinking. There really isn't a need for so many of the same venom to improve the Innumerable Poison Meteorite Power. You'll be able to obtain two types of venom if you share the excess."
Lu Ping waved the jade bottle in his hand. Chu Hailan immediately understood what he meant, and she withdrew a jade bottle from her Storage Celestial Device as well. The jade bottle contained her own venom.
The two of them threw the jade bottles in their hands to each other. Chu Hailan opened the jade bottle, and after confirming that there was no mistake, she said, "Thank you very much. See you later!"
Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, Lu Ping suddenly asked, "This venom is very important to you? If it's just for a portion of the venom, why did you chase the practitioners of the Crystal Palace from the East Sea to the Central Region? "
Chu Hailan's body stiffened, and then she walked forward again. She said, "This is my husband's venom, the only thing he left in the world. He was killed by the direct disciple of the Crystal Palace, Huang Shijun, and Huang Shijun is one of the envoys sent by the Crystal Palace to the Tianxuan Sect."
Looking at Chu Hailan's back, Lu Ping suddenly became extremely lonely and heavy after saying these words, which was quite different from the female practitioner of the Beastkin Clan who laughed freely in the jungle. He couldn't help but smile, and then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
After a whole day, Lu Ping's harvest was not small. In addition to a Skull Flower and two halves of the top-rank Beastkin Clan's venom, Lu Ping also exchanged two Earth Rank Spiritual Objects for two water attribute Natural Oddities.
The quality of these two kinds of Natural Oddities had reached above the middle grade. One was used by Lu Ping to refine his ninth protective aura, and the other was prepared for the Three Pure True Pupils.
As for the feys, there were only a few. He only used some of the spoils of war that he had no use for before to exchange for seven or eight Mystic, mid-grade, and high-grade feys. As for the Earth Rank Spiritual Objects, there was no need to mention the Heaven Rank Spiritual Objects.
The evening bell of the Tianxuan Sect rang, and the cultivators in the underground palace began to return to their respective exhibition huts. In another two hours, the underground palace would be under curfew. Those who needed to trade with each other agreed on a time and a code word, and they would continue the trade the next day without revealing their identities.
When Lu Ping returned to his hut, he saw three cultivators standing in front of the hut. They were standing in front of the hut, and Lu Ping couldn't see his harvest for the day. Moreover, the three of them didn't look like they were trading in the hut. It seemed like they had specially come to discuss business with Lu Ping.
Lu Ping raised his vigilance just in case, but he still walked over and said, "The curfew is about to begin. If you have any other needs, please come back tomorrow!"
