After a whole day, Lu Ping did not gain anything else. However, Lu Ping did not care. Just one Silver Spirit Flame was enough to make Lu Ping satisfied.
In the evening, Lu Ping returned to his exhibition room. Because the Profound Sky Sect would open the entire underground palace after the evening bell rang, all the cultivators would be teleported out of the underground palace. So, at this time, most of the cultivators in the underground palace had returned to their exhibition rooms and put away all the treasures on display, regardless of whether they had been successfully exchanged or not.
In the end, Lu Ping did not go to the pavilions where the Five Sacred Lands, the Profound Sky Sect, and the Crystal Palace were located to see if the Spiritual Vein Essence and Lightning Tribulation Water had changed the method of exchange. He also did not know if Xie Tianyang had already exchanged the Spiritual Vein Essence with the Profound Sky Sect.
It was not that he did not want to go, but he really did not have any bargaining chips. In order to be able to exchange for the Heaven Middle Grade Silver Spirit Flame, Lu Ping did not even hesitate to take out a ninth-grade White Jade Lotus Seed and two Spiritual Monster Peaches. Only then did he finally exchange for the Silver Spirit Flame.
Originally, Lu Ping wanted to use the Spiritual Monster Peach to exchange for the Silver Spirit Flame. Although the Spiritual Monster Peach had ripened for at most a few hundred years, it was a fruit of the Spiritual Monster Peach Tree after all. Its effect was completely comparable to a top-grade spiritual treasure that was thousands of years old.
However, using this method, Lu Ping would need at least five or six Spiritual Monster Peaches. Moreover, Lu Ping had refined medicinal pills for several years, and now there were only a few Spiritual Monster Peaches left. If he gave away the last few, Lu Ping was afraid that he would have to wait for more than a hundred years for the next fruit of the Spiritual Monster Peach Tree to ripen.
In desperation, Lu Ping could only reluctantly take out a precious lotus seed to exchange for the Heaven Middle Grade Spirit Flame.
After returning to the hut, Lu Ping was a little surprised to see that the stone platform was mostly empty.
The Meridian Nourishing Pellet was traded for more than a dozen Mystic-grade high-grade spirit items; the Ten Years Longevity Pellet was also traded for a Heaven-Grade low-grade spirit item; and the Gold Nut was even more valuable. Lu Ping wondered if he had set the price a little too low.
The three Soul Calming Incense sticks were also traded away. Additionally, the one who traded them away had deliberately left a jade slip on the stone platform. Lu Ping checked the contents of the jade slip and found that the one who traded away the Soul Calming Incense was the same cultivator who traded away the Soul Calming Incense yesterday.
In the message left on the jade slip, this cultivator went straight to the point and hoped that if Lu Ping had any extra soul incense to sell, he could come to the Treasure Pavilion in the Mysterious Sky Ancient City for a face-to-face discussion after the end of the underground trade fair.
Lu Ping was slightly startled. It was actually the Treasure Pavilion again. He did not know if this person was the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion that he met when he was trading for the Silver Capital Spirit Flame.
In addition, Lu Ping also placed 150 high-grade spirit stones on each of the three stone platforms to exchange for mid-grade mystic ranked spirit items.
In fact, yesterday, Lu Ping had placed 400 high-grade spirit stones, hoping to trade for a mid-grade earth ranked spirit item like the day before. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him for the entire day.
Yesterday, after learning from Xuantian Spiritual Master that what Zhenling really needed was a large number of mystic ranked spirit items, Lu Ping simply began to use spirit stones to exchange for mystic ranked spirit items.
If using high-grade spirit stones to exchange for earth ranked spirit items was only a possibility, then the possibility of exchanging for mystic ranked spirit items was much higher.
After all, Mystic feys weren't like Earth feys that could only be chanced upon and not sought after. Furthermore, the items that could be exchanged were high-grade spirit stones. Due to the difference in the concentration of spirit qi in spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones had many more miraculous uses than mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones.
In addition, on the last day of the trade fair, many impossible things seemed to have a reason to become logical. Lu Ping's three stone platforms had a total of 450 high-grade spirit stones, and he had exchanged for a total of 13 mid-grade and high-grade mystic ranked spirit items.
Although it was extremely unexpected for Lu Ping, this kind of good luck was naturally something that Lu Ping could not ask for more.
In addition to the various items exchanged for other miscellaneous items, Lu Ping's three days in the underground palace could be considered to be fruitful.
After packing up the items, Lu Ping did not wait for the Profound Sky Sect's evening bell to ring. Instead, he placed a low-grade mystic ranked spirit item into a notch in the corner of the small house. With a flash of golden light, Lu Ping had already disappeared from the small house.
The method of leaving the underground palace was different from the method of entering. When entering, Lu Ping only needed to use spirit stones to exchange for the medium of teleportation. If he wanted to leave, he needed every cultivator who entered the underground palace to use a low-grade mystic ranked spirit item as the medium to activate the teleportation array. This low-grade mystic ranked spirit item would then become the Profound Sky Sect's reward for hosting this trade fair.
When Lu Ping reappeared, he was already in a woodshed in the backyard of a family in the Profound Sky Ancient City. Lu Ping's divine sense swept across and found that although this family was also a cultivator, they were all ordinary Blood Condensation cultivators. This family was also located in a remote area of the Profound Sky Ancient City.
Without alerting anyone, Lu Ping easily passed through the simple restriction that this family's cultivators had set up in the small courtyard. Then, he walked towards the place where he had previously agreed to meet Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu.
In the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse, Lu Ping had changed his appearance the last time he drank tea. Naturally, the shopkeeper and the clever waiter did not recognize him.
Lu Ping tossed a mid-grade spirit stone over and had the waiter bring him to a quiet room. He instructed the waiter to serve a pot of top-grade spirit tea and three teacups.
The waiter understood tacitly. He knew that Lu Ping was telling him that two more guests would be arriving in a while and that he only needed to bring the guests to this quiet room.
After the waiter left, Lu Ping set up a restriction on the tea table. Only then did he drip a drop of Amethyst Honey into the teapot. The fragrance overflowed, but it was contained by the restriction on the tea table. This prevented the fragrance from permeating the entire teahouse like the last time and startling hundreds of customers who were drinking tea. In the end, the name of the Amethyst Royal Jelly spread throughout the entire Profound Sky Ancient City.
When the cup of spirit tea was finished, footsteps could be heard from outside the quiet room. The waiter had already brought Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu in.
Xie Tianyang also tossed a mid-grade spirit stone behind him and said generously, "Take it, it's your reward!"
The waiter happily caught it and sang a beautiful "Yes". However, he thought to himself, "Just now, that senior also rewarded me with a mid-grade spirit stone, but he looked indifferent. Although this one also rewarded me with a mid-grade spirit stone, it's like he's giving me a huge gift. He even wants me to be grateful to him. Although these two seniors are generous, there's still a gap between them.
However, my luck has been off the charts recently. In just a short month, I've earned three mid-grade spirit stones as tips, which is equivalent to my salary for this period of time. "
Xie Tianyang didn't know if the happy waiter had lowered his status after receiving the reward. However, Lu Ping could tell from Xie Tianyang's tone that he had brought good news.
"Brother Xie, Brother Sang, sit down and have a taste of this spirit tea!"
Lu Ping invited the two to take a seat. Xie Tianyang said first, "I've taken a risk this time, but you're only treating us to tea. How stingy!"
Sang Yu took the tea from Lu Ping and thanked him. Then, he took a sip and his eyes lit up.
Xie Tianyang, who was at the side, said, "However, the matter was finally settled. The Heavenly Profound Sect changed the method of exchange at the last moment. Fortunately, this Xie's eyes and hands were sharp. There were many people who were eyeing the high-grade heaven tier fey. It was also thanks to the sect that I didn't return the high-grade fey that I extorted from Teacher. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Spirit Vein Essence Milk."
Xie Tianyang placed a jade bowl on the tea table and pushed it in front of Lu Ping. He wasn't afraid that Lu Ping wouldn't hand over the Boiling Sky Sword Technique. He picked up the teacup in front of him and noticed that Sang Yu had already finished a cup of hot tea and was about to pour a second one.
Xie Tianyang pursed his lips and said, "Brother Sang, why are you in such a hurry? It's like a cow chewing on a peony. You're the Spirit Taming Sect's empyrean walker. Aren't you afraid of being seen as a joke? This tea has to be tasted."
Sang Yu didn't say anything. He filled the second cup and started drinking again.
At this moment, Xie Tianyang let out a strange cry and glared at Lu Ping. "No way. You put Purple Crystal Honey in it?"
Lu Ping, who had just thrown a jade scroll with the Boiling Sky Sword Technique in front of Xie Tianyang, smiled and said nothing. Xie Tianyang, on the other hand, drank the spirit tea faster than Sang Yu. He grabbed the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea as he said, "Extravagant. This is too extravagant. What a waste of God's gift!"
No one knew if he was talking about himself, Sang Yu, or Lu Ping.
The three of them chatted for a while before leaving the quiet room and going their separate ways. Lu Ping was about to go downstairs when he saw the waiter hurrying over. He stopped Lu Ping and said, "Senior, please wait. My shopkeeper wants to see you!"
Lu Ping's expression changed when he heard this. Then, he returned to normal and said, "Do you know why your shopkeeper wants to see me?"
The waiter smiled apologetically and said, "How would I know? Senior will know when you see the shopkeeper."
Lu Ping thought that his movements were well hidden. The shopkeeper definitely wouldn't recognize him as the person who had spread the news of exchanging Purple Crystal Royal Jelly for Lightning Tribulation Water. So, he said, "Lead the way!"
Before Lu Ping could take a few steps, the shopkeeper had already rushed over. His eyes lit up when he saw Lu Ping. He said, "Are you Lu Xuanping of the North Sea?"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "That's me. Why is the shopkeeper looking for me?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I just received an order from the sect. It's Qing Li Laozu who wants to see you!"
"Oh!"
Lu Ping nodded and seemed to have understood something. He said, "Please lead the way, shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper walked forward and said, "You don't have to be so polite. My surname is Shen, and I'm a second-generation disciple of Tianxuan Sect. My cultivation is not good enough, so I can only run this teahouse for the sect to make a living …"
