Chapter 226: High-End Trade Fair (Part 2)
“Wait a moment, Master Li has many good things. Three items are too few. Shouldn’t he make an exception and take out more?” Saintess Lian Yue suddenly spoke up, suggesting.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and showed signs of interest.
The Spiritual Artifacts, Spirit Pills, and Spiritual Talismans that Li Mu brought out for trade were all exquisite items that they urgently needed, unlike the Spiritual Objects they brought out for trade, which were all useless. Three Spiritual Objects were far from enough for them to distribute.
“Fellow Daoist Lian Yue is right. Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, let’s make an exception and change the rules!”
“Indeed. Master Li, how many Creation Pills do you have? Take them all out!”
“Right, right, Master Li, do you still have any Gold-element Acquired Spirit Treasures?!”
“I also want a Gold-element Spiritual Sword. It would be best if it could transform into a spirit! I also want 5th Order Spiritual Talismans!”
...
Saintess Lian Yue’s words were approved by everyone. They looked at Li Mu and Tian Yuan Revered One, speaking out to advise him.
“Indeed! Then let’s make an exception this once! Master Li, feel free to display any Spiritual Objects you wish to trade; there’s no limit on the number of items.” Tian Yuan Revered One readily agreed, smiling as he spoke to Li Mu.
Li Mu thought for a moment. He could use this opportunity to trade a large number of Spiritual Objects and seize the chance to collect high-grade Spiritual Objects from them. As for the risk of revealing his wealth, with the backing of Wanbao Pavilion, his identity as a Grandmaster Refiner, and his own strength, the risk was still controllable.
“Since everyone is so kind, Li will respectfully obey!” Li Mu weighed it for a moment, then looked around at everyone, smiling and nodding in agreement.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand, continuously taking out dozens of Spiritual Objects, dozens of Medicinal Pill bottles, more than ten 5th Order Spiritual Talismans, a black long spear, a blood-colored coffin, five 5th Order Spiritual Swords, three Acquired Spirit Treasures, and so on, from the nine storage spiritual pearl, all vying for attention.
All the Cultivators present had burning eyes, dazzled by the sight!
“It’s actually a six-tier Demonic Spear! Could this be the Demon Devouring Spear, the Nine Nether Demon Lord’s famous weapon?”
“That blood-colored coffin, is it the God-Hating Coffin?! Master Li, how can such a Spiritual Object be in your hands?!”
“Wow! The God-Hating Coffin is the Corpse Refinement Sect’s ultimate treasure! I didn’t expect it to fall into Master Li’s hands!”
“Besides Creation Pills and Clear Jade Pills, what other Spirit Pills does Master Li have?”
“What kind of Spiritual Talisman is that? It actually contains such violent thunder essence?!”
“My heavens, so many Acquired Spirit Treasures! Master Li, what kind of Spiritual Object is needed to exchange for that pagoda treasure?!”
...
The Cultivators present looked at the many Acquired Spirit Treasures floating in the air, their spirits invigorated, and they couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly, asking questions one after another.
“Everyone, please calm down and listen to Master Li introduce the Spiritual Objects!” Tian Yuan Revered One had to step forward again to maintain order.
Hearing this, everyone suppressed their eagerness and quieted down, looking at Li Mu and waiting for his introduction.
Li Mu looked at Tian Yuan Revered One, giving him a grateful smile. Then, he extended his hand, forcefully injecting spiritual power to suppress the six-tier Demon Devouring Spear and God-Hating Coffin, which were trying to break free from their restraints. He then looked at everyone and introduced them in detail: “These two Spiritual Objects are Li’s spoils of war. The six-tier Demon Devouring Spear has extraordinary power, and the six-tier God-Hating Coffin has a powerful Undead-nurturing effect. I am selling them to exchange for five portions of six-tier spiritual Materials.”
“There are a total of 54 bottles of 5th Order Spirit Pills: 12 bottles of Creation Pills, 9 bottles of Clear Jade Pills, 12 bottles of Golden Cauldron Pills, 6 bottles of Reversion Pills, and so on… Any six bottles of 5th Order Spirit Pills can be exchanged for one six-tier spiritual Material, or two bottles of 5th Order Spirit Pills can be exchanged for three portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials.”
“For 5th Order Spiritual Talismans, such as the Fire Lotus Talisman, Purple Heaven Myriad Thunder Talisman, etc., any three Spiritual Talismans can be exchanged for one six-tier spiritual Material, or any one Spiritual Talisman can be exchanged for one portion of 5th Order spiritual Material. One Acquired 5th Order Spirit Treasure can be exchanged for two portions of six-tier spiritual Materials, or five portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials.”
“All 5th Order and six-tier spiritual Materials, whether for Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Alchemy, or even Puppet crafting, are acceptable. Li does not want finished products, only spiritual Materials.” After a pause, Li Mu looked at everyone and added to his introduction.
Hearing this, everyone’s spirits were instantly invigorated.
“This trade is fair! Chen has two portions of six-tier spiritual Materials and six portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials, specifically: six-tier Flowing Light Fiend Gold, six-tier Grand Yin Cold Crystal, 5th Order As You Wish Stone, 5th Order Yuan Ji Essence Gold, and so on… I will use them to exchange for one portion of Creation Pill, one portion of Golden Cauldron Pill, and so on…”
“I, I also have some! Master Li, I have three portions of six-tier spiritual Materials and twelve portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials here.”
“Master Li, the six-tier Demon Devouring Spear is a demonic weapon. Can the exchange Materials be lowered a bit?”
“Master Li, I want the God-Hating Coffin. My six-tier spiritual Materials are slightly insufficient. Can I make up the difference with other Spiritual Objects or Spirit Stones?”
“Old Devil Chen, if you can’t afford it, don’t compete with me! Master Li, I want this God-Hating Coffin. Five portions of six-tier spiritual Materials, please accept them!”
...
After Li Mu introduced the Spiritual Objects, it immediately caused a scramble among the Cultivators present, who eagerly offered their prices.
Seeing that order was again chaotic, Tian Yuan Revered One quickly circulated his true essence and loudly presided: “Everyone, Fellow Daoists, this trade is centered on Master Li. Please first take out and display the items you wish to exchange. He will then choose. Is this fair?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yuan Revered One stroked his hand and displayed seven or eight portions of spiritual Materials on the table, looking at Li Mu and saying, “Master Li, I will use these spiritual Materials to exchange for a Fire-element Acquired Spirit Treasure, and the remainder to exchange for Creation Pills and 5th Order Fire Lotus Talismans.”
“Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan’s words are excellent! Let’s do it this way!”
“That’s right, let Master Li choose! Everyone, stop arguing!”
“That’s right!”
...
Everyone responded to Tian Yuan Revered One, eagerly taking out various six-tier and 5th Order spiritual Materials and placing them on the table, looking at Li Mu with burning eyes.
“That suits me perfectly. Master Li, these are the Spiritual Objects Chen is offering for trade. I want to exchange them for that God-Hating Coffin, and the remainder for Creation Pills and Golden Cauldron Pills.” The yellow-robed Cultivator nodded gladly, also placing more than a dozen portions of spiritual Materials on the table, forming a small pile.
“Indeed, this trading method is exactly what I had in mind. Master Li, this is my treasured collection. I also wish to exchange it for that God-Hating Coffin, and all the rest for 5th Order Thunder Talismans and Fire Talismans.” Shangguan Hong waved his hand, and a ‘small mountain’ of spiritual Materials appeared out of thin air before him, every item being a six-tier spiritual Material.
“And me! I also want the God-Hating Coffin! Master Li, you must choose mine first!” Saintess Lian Yue waved her hand, taking out a large amount of Thunder Essence Stones, Azure Thunder Spiritual Bamboo, and various high-grade Thunder-element Spiritual Objects, in no less quantity than Shangguan Hong.
“Master Li, this is mine! I want to exchange for that Demon Devouring Spear, three portions of Creation Pills, and two portions of Golden Cauldron Pills.” Nangong Feiyu smiled slightly, waving his hand to take out a large amount of 5th Order and six-tier Spiritual Objects.
“Master Li, these are Wan’s exchange items. I want to exchange for 5th Order Spiritual Talismans and a Wood-element Spiritual Sword.” Daoist Wan Ling then took out more than a dozen portions of 5th Order Spiritual Objects and placed them on the table.
...
In a short while, everyone’s gaze focused on Li Mu. On the table before him, more or less, various 5th Order and six-tier spiritual Materials were laid out, quietly awaiting his selection.
With so many high-grade Spiritual Objects, Li Mu was immediately dazzled and couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm himself.
“Fellow Daoists, please calm down. I’ll go one by one. Senior Tian Yuan, you wish to exchange these Spiritual Objects for a Fire-element Spirit Treasure, and the remainder for Creation Pills and 5th Order Fire Lotus Talismans, correct?” Li Mu looked at Tian Yuan Revered One and respectfully asked.
“That’s right!” Tian Yuan Revered One nodded happily.
Li Mu looked at the Spiritual Objects Tian Yuan Revered One had brought out for trade: three portions of six-tier spiritual Materials—a mass of Purple Marrow Dark Earth, a stalk of Dragon Yuan Yang Grass, a complete Thunder Copper Wood—and six portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials—As You Wish Stone, Tiger-striped Jade Marrow, and so on…
Li Mu handed a 5th Order Acquired Fire-element Spirit Treasure, along with the corresponding quantities of Creation Pills and 5th Order Fire Lotus Talismans, to Tian Yuan Revered One.
Tian Yuan Revered One’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly threw the ten portions of spiritual Materials to Li Mu, completing the transaction with satisfaction.
Seeing Li Mu and Tian Yuan Revered One complete their transaction, the other Cultivators secretly grew anxious.
“Master Li, please choose what’s suitable first, don’t go by the order of trade!”
“That’s right! We who are behind haven’t even traded for suitable Spiritual Objects yet!”
...
The previous transactions had all concluded with Li Mu, and the few Cultivators at the back couldn’t help but remind him.
“Li understands!” Li Mu smiled and nodded, placing his hand on the blood-colored coffin, then looked at the Cultivators and asked, “Which Fellow Daoists want this God-Hating Coffin? Let’s trade for this Spiritual Object first.”
“Chen wants that God-Hating Coffin!” The disheveled old man in yellow robes, with messy hair and beard, gestured.
“Me!” Shangguan Hong followed.
“Master Li, I want it too!” Saintess Lian Yue said next.
“And me!” A green-robed Soul Transformation Cultivator said expressionlessly.
Li Mu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the Spiritual Objects in front of the four people one by one, then stopping at Shangguan Hong’s pile of Spiritual Objects, choosing: “All four of you want this God-Hating Coffin, but I prefer Senior Shangguan’s Spiritual Objects. My apologies to the other three Seniors.”
Hearing this, Venerable Chen Heng, Saintess Lian Yue, and the green-robed Soul Transformation Cultivator all showed disappointment.
“Senior, besides the God-Hating Coffin, you want to exchange for other Spiritual Objects, 5th Order Spiritual Talismans, correct?” Li Mu looked at the overjoyed Shangguan Hong and confirmed.
“That’s right!” Shangguan Hong nodded in confirmation, then directly pushed eight portions of six-tier spiritual Materials and nine portions of 5th Order spiritual Materials to Li Mu.
Li Mu waved his hand, collecting all those spiritual Materials into the nine storage spiritual pearl, then directly pushed the God-Hating Coffin to Shangguan Hong, along with a thick stack of 5th Order Spiritual Talismans.
Having completed this transaction, Li Mu smiled in satisfaction, grasping the six-tier Soul Devouring Spear, looking at the Cultivators, and asking, “Which Fellow Daoists want this demonic spear?”
“Me! I want it!” Nangong Feiyu quickly responded.
“I want it too!” Saintess Lian Yue spoke up next.
“And me!”
“Wang doesn’t want to miss out on such a demonic weapon either!”
...
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, seven Soul Transformation Cultivators immediately responded, their eyes burning with desire.
six-tier spirit treasures are rare and seldom appear in the world. Even if it was a demonic weapon, the Soul Transformation Cultivators present were unwilling to miss out, and they all scrambled to obtain it.
“Now, I will choose one Fellow Daoist to trade with!” Li Mu nodded, examining the piles of spiritual Materials from the seven contenders.
“Master Li, wait a moment. Wang forgot to take out another Spiritual Object!” Wang Wuchen thought of something and took out another white jade bottle from his storage ring.
“This item is a 3rd Order Spirit Cleansing Bottle, containing one hundred thousand catties of six-tier Indefinite True Water. It can be valued at two portions of six-tier spiritual Materials, right?” Wang Wuchen looked at Li Mu and gestured.
Li Mu’s eyes lit up, and he nodded happily: “No problem!”
Seeing this display, the other six immediately grew anxious!
“Fellow Daoist Wuchen, you are too shameless! Master Li, Chen also has another spiritual Material!” Venerable Chen Heng’s face darkened. After thinking for a moment, he solemnly took out a mass of black Spiritual Objects from his storage ring, and a vast spiritual might was immediately released.
“My heavens, what is this?!”
“Seven-tier zhen huang armor earth! Old Devil Chen, you were still hiding such a Spiritual Object!”
“Old Devil Chen, you are shameless!”
...
All the Cultivators’ expressions changed dramatically, and they cried out in shock.
“Master Li, my portion of seven-tier zhen huang armor earth can be equivalent to three portions of six-tier spiritual Materials, right?” Venerable Chen Heng smiled smugly, looking at the stunned Li Mu, and asked with a smile.
“Yes, of course!” Li Mu suddenly came to his senses and nodded in agreement.
“Everyone, if no one else forgot to take out other Spiritual Objects, I will choose Senior Chen…” Li Mu prepared to announce.
“Master Li, wait a moment! I also have a seven-tier Spiritual Object here.” Nangong Feiyu quickly spoke up, stopping him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Feiyu then took out a green spiritual Material from his storage ring, and a powerful mu yi essence filled the entire area.
“Emperor Yuan Wood! My heavens, it’s actually seven-tier Emperor Yuan Wood!”
“As expected of the Nangong Family, one of the Eight Great Families, to be able to produce such a Spiritual Wood.”
...
As soon as Nangong Feiyu’s Spiritual Object was taken out, it immediately drew exclamations of admiration from the Cultivators. Like the seven-tier zhen huang armor earth, Emperor Yuan Wood also belonged to the seven-tier, possessing a trace of Emperor Fate Dao, making it extraordinary.
Seeing Nangong Feiyu’s Emperor Yuan Wood, Venerable Chen Heng’s smug expression immediately vanished, and his face instantly darkened.
“Master Li, would you be willing to choose me?” Nangong Feiyu looked at Li Mu expectantly and asked.
“This! Senior Chen!” Li Mu looked at Venerable Chen Heng apologetically. Nangong Feiyu’s spiritual Materials were of even higher quality, and he had already made his choice.
“I understand!” Venerable Chen Heng waved his hand, angrily putting away the seven-tier zhen huang armor earth. If it weren’t for the six-tier Soul Devouring Spear, he would never have taken out this Spiritual Object for trade.
Seeing this, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. He looked at Venerable Chen Heng and promised apologetically, “Senior Chen, if you don’t mind waiting for a period of time, when Li’s Refining Skill advances, I am willing to refine a six-tier spirit treasure for Senior Chen.”
Hearing this, Venerable Chen Heng’s eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, “Is that true?!”
“Of course. I’ve been stuck at the Peak of 5th Order Artifact Refining for over a decade. These 5th Order Acquired Spirit Treasures were all personally refined by Li. I am only one step away from six-tier Artifact Refining Skill.” Li Mu smiled confidently and nodded.
Venerable Chen Heng’s eyes lit up. Looking at the numerous 5th Order Acquired Spirit Treasures in front of Li Mu, he couldn’t help but believe his words. An Artifact Refining Great Master who could refine so many 5th Order Acquired Spirit Treasures was indeed not far from advancing further.
“Master Li, don’t forget me!”
“That’s right! That’s right! Master Li, we are also willing to pre-order the refining of six-tier spirit treasures!”
“Master Li!”
...
Upon hearing Li Mu’s promise to Venerable Chen Heng, the Cultivators present eagerly began to curry favor.
“It’s too early to say such things. Let’s proceed with the trade first!” Li Mu smiled modestly, not responding directly.
After speaking, Li Mu initiated trade confirmation with Nangong Feiyu: “Fellow Daoist Nangong, this demonic spear is yours. For the remaining spiritual Materials, what Spirit Pills or Spiritual Talismans do you wish to exchange for?”
“Spirit Pills or Spiritual Talismans are both fine. Master Li, can I also reserve a spot for refining a six-tier spirit treasure? I’m willing to pay one portion of six-tier spiritual Materials as an advance.” Nangong Feiyu looked at Li Mu, indicating expectantly.
Li Mu frowned, hesitating.
